Chapter 54: A Narrow Encounter
The withering curse entered the body, and a strong feeling of nausea and vomiting always haunted my heart.
There is a state in the faction hint that if you are hit by the withering curse, your qi and blood will continue to decay until you die of exhaustion.
During this period, Su Nian found that wisps of qi and blood were overflowing down the pores.
His physical fitness has been strengthened, but he can endure it.
Ji Yun on the side was already pale, and he was already vomiting while holding the statue.
Perhaps time has diluted the power of the curse, and the process of the curse's erosion of the body is not as fast as imagined.
But the feeling of being cursed really affects the efficiency of the action.
Taking out a bottle of primary healing potion from his space bag, he reached out and handed it to Ji Yun.
Ji Yun, who took the potion, immediately unscrewed the lid and swallowed the liquid inside.
A flush appeared on his pale face, and his state seemed to have recovered, but then he looked up at him and shook his head helplessly:
"Brother Nian, the primary healing potion can't break the curse, it can only help me recover my qi, blood and physical strength."
Hearing this, Su Nian realized that there was not much time left for them to complete the main quest.
If you can't ...... before you run out of qi and blood To be more precise, if they are unable to complete the main quest before they are unable to act, they will definitely die.
Like the three skeletons that fell near the stone altar, they died under the corrosion of the curse.
"Brother Nian, if I'm not mistaken, these curses should be left by the sacrifice that made the relief."
Ji Yun, who was relieved, analyzed with a solemn expression.
Hearing this, Su Nian thought of the relief painting he had seen on the previous stone altar.
A line of text is engraved underneath the relief.
Probably this means that the relief depicts the sacrificial curse of the ruler and all the treasures he collects.
He thought that the text was just a verbal curse, but he didn't expect it to have an actual effect.
Turning his head to look at the treasure pile in front of him, he now had a question that needed to be answered.
Thinking of this, he reached out and grabbed a small golden branch in the pile of treasures.
This branch was judged to be a Level 2 spirit material in the analysis information.
After holding the small branch, the curse did not come a second time, confirming his guess, Su Nian decisively threw the branch into the space bag.
"Keep pretending, since the curse can't be stacked, and we've all been hit, we don't need to worry too much."
When Ji Yun heard this, he immediately nodded.
The two then began to pick up spiritual items from the pile of treasures that they could take away.
However, the items that a 30-compartment space bag can carry are really limited, and they can only choose to choose valuable items to take away, and cannot carry all the things in the treasure house.
During this period, from time to time, take out the items you took in front of you from your space bag and throw them aside to take more valuable items.
Blazing Star Stone, Silver Grass, Radiant Bead, Spirit Rhinoceros ...... After spending half an hour picking, Su Nian and Ji Yun filled the space in their bags, and then decisively evacuated the treasure house and returned to the entrance of the stone altar along the tunnel.
In Su Nian's opinion, this journey has come to an end.
While there were still a large number of side quests to complete, they weren't originally in his plans.
The most important thing now is to complete the main quest.
The quest panel is called up, and the main quest information pops up:
[Main Quest: Exploration.] 】
Requirements: Explore 5% of the Tooth Treasure scene.
Mission Progress: 0.62%.
……
The withering curse was still working in their bodies, and with nausea and vomiting, they made their way to the mouth of the tunnel at the end of the hall.
In the following time, Su Nian and the others sped up the time to hurry.
Even if you encounter a fork in the road, don't stop, go straight to the nearest tunnel and continue your journey.
After passing through several forks in the tunnel, there is another hall in front of you, where four statues also stand, guarding the stone altar in the center, on which also lies the skeleton of a large monster.
But this time they didn't stop.
At this point, the exploration progress had reached 1.32%, and they did not stop in the hall.
Although he longs for the treasure house under the stone altar, the space on his body has been filled, and it is a waste of time to stay here.
During this period, Ji Yun's state was problematic again, and he could only relieve the erosion of the curse on his body by taking a primary healing potion, and then continue on his way.
It can be seen that the higher the physical fitness attribute, the stronger the resistance to the withering curse.
In other words, the higher the physical fitness attribute, the more abundant the body's qi and blood, and the longer it can withstand the curse damage.
Half an hour later, Su Nian, who walked out of the tunnel, saw a completely different scene from before.
In front of you was a spacious stone chamber, where a large number of metal refining utensils were placed, rusted over time and the power of corrosion, the ground was carved with incomprehensible intricate spiritual patterns, and many figures that had been turned into bones hung from the chains hanging from their heads.
"This seems to be the place where prisoners are interrogated."
Look in the direction of Ji Yun's finger.
Su Nian saw that on the round metal tray in front of him, there were instruments similar to scalpels, needles, pliers, and the like, but they were all rusty.
Without paying much attention, they made their way through the stone chamber to the next area.
But before he stepped into the stone room, Su Nian suddenly heard faint footsteps coming from the tunnel in front of him, and immediately stopped Ji Yun behind him, put his finger to his mouth and raised it, making a silent movement.
Seeing this, Ji Yun expressed doubts, but he still decisively put down his steps.
The sound moves fast.
Su Nian immediately clenched the killing shadow in his hand, and at this moment, a figure appeared at the mouth of the tunnel.
Seeing the faces of the arrivals clearly, Su Nian's expression became nervous.
This figure is about two meters tall, burly, with exposed muscles, a head like a crocodile head, skin made of granular scale armor, a vest armor on its body, two thick arms each holding a serrated broadsword, and a fierce aura exuding from its body.
Above its head, a dark green ember flame burned.
When he saw Su Nian and Ji Yun, the burly figure grinned and showed his sharp teeth, and slowly clenched the sawtooth knife in his hand.
The faction hint also sounded at this time:
[Faction Hint (Purgatory City): Recruit warriors under the enemy faction's Helling City, and after killing, you can get the Howling Treasure Chest, and after opening, you can get 50% of the target's embers and space bag item items (50% of the items in the space bag will be randomly selected)]
Hearing the camp prompt, Su Nian's sense of crisis became even stronger.
He didn't expect that he would only be on his third expedition and encounter the conscripted warriors of the opposing camp.
Judging by his appearance alone, this guy is definitely not easy to deal with.
"I'm in trouble."
While whispering softly, he was ready to open the Great Evil Body to fight, and the next battle required him to fight for his life.
But at this moment, the recruited warriors of Howling City suddenly took a step back.
Seeing that they were unresponsive, the Howling Warrior took another tentative step back, looking at them with nervous eyes, grinning sharp teeth as if warning them not to approach.
"Uh...... Brother Nian, he seems to be more nervous than us, I'm afraid it's not in vain. ”
As he spoke, Ji Yun clenched the long sword in his hand, his expression eager to try.
"Let's retreat, don't provoke him."
At this moment, Su Nian pulled Ji Yun and took a big step back, in order to show that there was no malice on his side.
As the Howling Warrior retreated to the mouth of the tunnel, he suddenly turned and ran.
Su Nian also decisively pulled Ji Yun and began to run back.
"Brother Nian, don't be cowardly, it."
"Don't die, I'm afraid that the other party will come back."
