Chapter Sixty-Eight: Former Members

"Curse?!"

Li 13 honed his combat skills all the way, almost forgetting that there was some kind of curse in the fifth forbidden area.

The team that Gu Wan followed back then was cursed by the Crescent Moon Mountain Range in the depths of the Fifth Forbidden Zone, and now I don't know how many people are still alive.

Continuing to flip back along the page, Li Shisan realized that the boy who stayed in the fifth forbidden area was a member of Gu Wan's genius squad back then.

The diary contains the names of all his companions, and the boy vows to save them from the curse.

At that time, this group of talented teenagers and girls with eyes above the top were inspired to enter the fifth forbidden area and rise to B-level hunters in it, so they formed an expedition team.

The oldest of them was the boy who left the diary, but he was the only one who didn't have a name.

At that time, this boy was a sophomore in high school, and he was a martial artist at the peak of 4 stars, and he was about to break through to 5 stars.

Li Shisan couldn't help but take a cool breath, choking on the rancid smell in the room and coughing.

"High school is approaching 5 stars... A 4-star high school student like Gu Wan can win district-level honors in the college league, and 5-star is not the world's top level among his peers..."

Even with his proud talent and strength, the boy is still a heavy curse, and only half of his companions who entered the fifth forbidden area with him were rescued alive, and they have been suffering from the curse since then, dying in turn.

After being rescued, the boy fell into deep self-blame, he was the oldest person in the team, and in the process of going deep into the fifth forbidden area, he had realized that this place was not as simple as he imagined, but he always wanted to go back and see no face, so he simply went a little deeper.

Just like that, everyone suffered, and the team members had nightmares for days and nights, and they were flustered and short of breath when they dozed off.

At first, they thought that it was too rich in magic essence to cause adverse reactions in the body, but they soon realized that unless a large number of monsters died at the same time, it was impossible for the magic element to get to the point where the cultivator could breathe and hurt the body.

The team began to return, the curse was still there, and everyone marched for days without practice, and finally was intercepted by the monster and hid in a cave exhausted, unable to travel again.

Fortunately, the important seedlings of these big families had induction-type spiritual weapons on their bodies, and the rescuers sent by the family found them.

The boy returned to the family and was closed for a while, his status plummeted, others fell into the ground, and the curse made him unable to rest well, and he was in a state of almost collapse and wanted to commit suicide several times.

Until he received the medicine sent by Gu Wan.

It's the kind of drug that makes people go into a latent level of sleep, replacing normal people's deep sleep with a long period of light sleep, reducing the damage of the curse... Treating the symptoms but not the root cause plays a delaying role.

The boy realized that at least Gu Wan didn't give up on his companions, and he had to stand up and take responsibility like a man.

So, he entered the fifth forbidden area again and tried to explore the truth of the curse, until his body could not bear the erosion of the curse and became what he is now.

"It's miserable..."

If it weren't for the curse, as long as they didn't die, it was really possible for them to successfully get out of the fifth forbidden area.

Li Shisan flipped through the diary at will, this boy didn't seem to have researched the reason, the whole book didn't record the slightest bit of dry goods related to the curse, at most, he collected the analysis of animals and plants different from the outside world, and did not analyze the results.

The last few pages of the diary were all blank, and the notes became very faint, Li Shisan glanced at the pen on the table, and there was still half a tube of ink in it, it was conceivable that the boy had no strength to hold the pen when he wrote here.

"Hey, tell me about the cause and effect."

Li Shisan didn't expect this kid to really find out the answer, but such a team of little geniuses, there must be some signs of being cursed, such as similar plots in novels, often accompanied by blood mist, weird symbols, and the like.

The diary doesn't write how they got it...

While thinking about the problem, I subconsciously flipped through the last blank pages of the diary, and there was a sentence on the inside of the back cover of the notebook:

Do not go near the island.

The handwriting is also very light, if it weren't for Li Shisan's German detection scope, it would be easy to see it when it was so dark.

What islet?

I went through the journal again, and confirmed that there was no information that had been ignored, and that there was no mention of an island, but that there was a hand-drawn road map that ended on the outskirts of the Crescent Mountains, not an island.

Li 13 looked back at the boy's corpse, "You are so angry, tell me which island has a problem." ”

Naturally, there was no response to the request, so I could only wait until I returned to Furong City to ask Gu Wan.

Thinking about it carefully, the ghost girl in the Forest Mansion sent medicine to her friends who also suffered from diseases, and Gu Wan also sent samples to her former teammates who suffered a curse, and the plot is really right.

Use the treasure finder at the end of the cave and a hidden prop will appear in the corner, the Bell of Tranquility (Bell of Pacification).

Elves with Idle Bells gain additional intimacy bonuses, and some elves need to wait until their intimacy level is full to evolve.

Li 13 picked up a badge in the corresponding position in reality, not the ancient silver luster of the hunter's badge, but a badge with a red flower on a black background, and the origin was not clear.

The boy's relics also include a spirit weapon short sword, spirit weapon armor, and some food that has long been spoiled in the corner, and there is nothing worth paying attention to after that.

Li Shisan put these items on the side of the stone bed, thinking that if he had energy on the way back, he would bring them back to Gu Wan to see.

"Rest in peace, classmate, the curse matter, I'll help you investigate, this thing is too mysterious, you can only say a force, and I can't do anything if I can't find it..."

After spending the night in the cave, the rain really didn't stop, so I could only wrap the mountaineering bag tightly with a tarp according to yesterday's idea, and quickly hit the road with a tarp.

The mountains are on a downward trend, with muddy water at one foot shallow and one foot deep, and the density of forests has increased dramatically.

Li Shisan waved the jungle machete in his hand to split through the thick vegetation, and glanced at the magic detector from time to time, as if the weather made the monster too lazy to act, and walked for most of the day, without any movement.

The clouds in the sky are very low, and the sound of rain hitting the ground and branches and leaves is all around, and if you look at the rain scene from the balcony of your home in this season, it seems a little poetic, but walking in the muddy water in the uninhabited mountain forest is very depressing.

As night fell, Li 13 walked forward, looking for a place to rest, and the undulating mountains near this were not rocky mountains, but mounds, low hills one after another, the soil was very soft, and the possibility of forming caves was almost zero.

"Looks like we're going to have to walk all night today."

It was nothing if he hadn't slept for a few days, Li Shisan slightly found a tree with relatively lush foliage, ate compressed biscuits under the tree, rested for a while, and pulled up the mountaineering bag again.

There was a vibration in the pocket, and the phone was put in the bag after the rain, so the only thing that vibrated was the magic detector.

Li 13 looked at the dashboard, and sure enough, a red pointer appeared, only a red mark pointed straight ahead, and the frequency of the beating continued to explode, indicating that the monster was approaching at an unprecedented speed...
