"Goo~Goo~Goo~"

A bird's cry came from somewhere in the jungle, echoing the chirping of insects hidden under the leaves, filling the jungle with a distant and mysterious atmosphere.

"See what I found?"

Olivia's tone was tinged with surprise, and she gently brushed aside a wide leaf beside her, half-crouching, and waved one hand at Andy and Riye to slow them down.

"Be light, don't scare it. ”

Olivia glanced at it with some complaint, and the guy made a loud noise as he slashed through the vines that blocked the way.

"What can it be...... Hey, Chieftain go up again, stay away from it!"

Riye was glared at by Olivia and muttered indifferently, but when he saw the little thing in front of Olivia, the expression on his face changed instantly, revealing a frightened expression, and subconsciously grabbed Andy, who wanted to come forward to take a look, and pulled him behind him.

"Listen, Riye, take it easy, let me see, what can scare you like this?"

Andy broke free of Rille's arm, and he poked his head to see a blue and red frog lying quietly on the huge leaf beside Olivia, the frog was only the size of his thumb, but it was unusually eye-catching.

"Wow~ What is this? It's beautiful!"

Andy exclaimed, he had never seen this thing before, it looked like it should be a creature endemic to the islands of the Central Sea, Andy took a step forward, he wanted to get closer.

Andy didn't pay attention to his feet, though, and he stepped on a broken blade of green grass, perhaps because the ground under his feet was too slippery, and the blade of grass slid outward.

"Huh?"

Andy's body staggered, an irresistible force acted on his body, Andy's whole person involuntarily pounced on the frog on the leaf, no one would have thought that Andy, who had awakened the heart of the ocean, would fall because of a slippery foot, and Rille, who was beside Andy, didn't even react, and looked at Andy with a stunned expression.

"Nie!"

Olivia exclaimed, she knew that the scene in front of her was entirely due to the curse of doom, otherwise, Andy would not have fallen because of a slippery foot, let alone a poison dart frog?

It just so happened that when Andy fell, a gust of wind blew down the low bushes, the blades of grass shook a few times, and the poison dart frog, which was lying quietly, cooed and jumped forward.

Rye's eyes widened in horror as the poison dart frog jumped into Andy's mouth......

"Whoosh!"

A sharp sound came from the side, and a small, sharp wooden spike flew out, and when the poison dart frog was about to touch Andy, it pierced its thigh, and carried it away, nailing it to the trunk of a tree with a thud.

The poison dart frog fluttered a few times, but because the wooden spikes pierced its thighs, it could not break free, and finally had to hang there with its head down, kicking its legs from time to time.

"Tom!"

Andy fell to the ground, and he quickly stood up and looked at the location where the wooden spike had fired, his eyes wary and at the same time a little confused.

He actually felt that the curse on his body was a little weaker.

Before he could say anything, a boy had already emerged from the bushes, only up to Andy's chest, and he still looked immature, but the fist-sized human heads hanging from his chest let Andy know that he was not as harmless as he seemed.

The boy's eyes were bright, and he looked at Andy with a fierce gaze and a question in his eyes.

"You're just an outsider who wants to go to the Forbidden Land?"

The little boy looked at Andy and spoke first.

"Huh, do you know how to speak?"

Andy was a little surprised, but he nodded, and at the same time secretly vigilant, his eyes wandering around, trying to make sure that there were any other natives around.

"Don't look at it, it's just me. ”

The boy seemed to know what Andy was looking for, and he spoke, walking over to Andy and the others.

"I'm the next priest, I've been learning the lingua franca for a long time, and my uncle said you're going to the forbidden land, and I wanted to go with you, but ...... You don't seem to have the strength to fight monsters. ”

The little boy gave Andy a disdainful look, which made Andy a little embarrassed, and even he couldn't believe that he would fall.

After the boy finished speaking, he walked straight to the poison dart frog nailed to the trunk of the tree, he leaned over carefully, took out a few sharp hardwood thorns from the animal skin bag on his body, wiped them back and forth on the skin of the poison dart frog several times, and then carefully put them away.

"That frog is poisonous?"

Andy watched the boy's strange behavior, and then it dawned on him that the curse of bad luck had dissipated a little.

"Of course, it's a poison dart frog, a creature endemic to the Central Seas, neither the Dragon Empire nor the Storm Sea, where you lived before. ”

Olivia knew that Andy didn't have a chance to come into contact with the creature, so she patiently explained.

"Poison dart frogs are one of the most poisonous creatures in the world, although they are small, but no one dares to underestimate them, once a poison dart frog enters the belly of a sea beast, it can poison a sea beast in a few minutes. ”

"Is it so powerful?"

Andy exclaimed, the native boy had already poisoned the wooden thorns, which made Andy feel a little chill in his body, and the little guy had just shot the poison dart frog accurately......

"Far more powerful than I said...... It is said that a legendary pirate king a long time ago died under the poison of poison dart frogs, and I don't know if it's true. ”

Olivia muttered, and she looked at the poison dart frog on the trunk.

"Then I have to thank the little guy. ”

Andy's pupils shrank suddenly, and he patted his chest with some trepidation.

"Of course, strictly speaking, he just saved your life. ”

Olivia said, sighing.

"I still underestimated the Curse of Doom, I thought it was not a threat to your life, but now it seems that in this dangerous jungle, the Curse of Doom will be even more terrifying. ”

After the boy got the stinger, he turned around and frowned when he saw Andy and the others still standing there looking at him.

"What are you still doing here?"

"Of course, go to the forbidden land to find treasure! You little ghost, pay attention to the tone of your voice!"

Rye shouted loudly, although the boy's wooden thorns were stained with the venom of the poison dart frog, but if he fought in real life, Rye could guarantee that none of those stingers would be able to reach his body.

Blowguns are weapons that can only be useful when they are sneak attacked.

"With your strength, even if you go, you will only bring disaster to the island, and you can't completely kill it at all!"

The boy exclaimed, and he took a few steps back, one hand resting on his fur bag.

"Little one, I don't have the strength to go to that monster, but it's not up to you. ”

Andy narrowed his eyes and looked at the little boy, he smiled with his mouth hooked, and an evil and terrifying aura swept through his body.

Inscribed with the curse of the devil, the heart of the ocean is the feeling that Andy brings to others, mostly the endless darkness of falling into the abyss.

The boy took a few steps back in a panic, his body trembling slightly, and he looked at Andy again, his eyes full of surprise.
