Capítulo 2020: Chapter 2019: The Girl Mu Yang, Power of the Curse
This group consisted of three people, one with dyed yellow hair, another thin, and the last one overweight.
The yellow-haired one looked at Xu Zii, sowhat arrogantly saying, “What’s it to you? Why should I tell you?”
“Oh?” Xu Zii squinted his eyes slightly.
He directly grabbed the yellow-haired one by the neck, lifting him up.
“Kid, you’re quite brave, aren’t you?”
The yellow-haired person scread like a pig being slaughtered, struggling desperately, but to no avail.
The large hand, like a pair of pliers, nearly snapped the yellow-haired one’s neck, leaving him breathless.
As the yellow-haired one struggled to breathe, the chubby and thin ones beside him quickly said, “Let Yellow Hair go, or else don’t bla us for being rude.”
“Rude?”
Xu Zii chuckled lightly.
He slapped them both directly.
“Bang bang,” their figures were knocked directly to the ground.
The chubby one, realizing they couldn’t win, quickly conceded.
“Sir, we were blind, please don’t hold a grudge against us.
We will tell you everything we know.”
The thin one also kowtowed repeatedly, saying, “Please let Yellow Hair go, or he will really be strangled to death by you.”
Xu Zii looked at the yellow-haired one in his hand; he indeed couldn’t hold on much longer.
He casually threw him to the ground.
The yellow-haired one gasped for breath, stamring, “Sir, I’ll tell you whatever you want to know.”
“Why didn’t you say so earlier,” Xu Zii smiled.
“I heard you were discussing matters about the Death Swamp?”
“Yes… it’s the Death Swamp,” Yellow Hair nodded and quickly explained.
It turns out the Death Swamp, though a Forbidden Land, is not entirely uninhabited.
On its outskirts, several villages have dwelled there for generations.
They’re known as the swamp’s indigenous people.
Strangely, outsiders entering the swamp quickly lose their status, but the indigenous people aren’t threatened by death.
Over ti, people believed there was sothing different about the bodies of the indigenous, so so wanted to capture and study them.
This led many indigenous people to hide in the swamp for a long ti, not daring to co out.
Now the Hidden God Sect is recruiting new mbers, and rumors say an indigenous person from the swamp has joined.
“Do you know who it is?” Xu Zii asked.
“Over there,” Yellow Hair pointed not far ahead.
Xu Zii looked over and saw a black-robed maiden, her body hidden away.
She stood alone.
Several glances landed on her, but no one seed eager to act.
“The indigenous of Death Swamp, eh,” Xu Zii observed for a mont, then looked at the three.
He smiled, “How about we form a team?”
“Ah!” the trio gasped, Yellow Hair nervously asked.
“Can I refuse?”
“Of course, I’m always soone who takes the charitable route,” Xu Zii said with a smile.
He patted Yellow Hair’s neck.
Yellow Hair shivered reflexively, forcing a smile worse than crying.
He said, “Sir, we’re willing to team up with you.
Please don’t scare anymore.”
“I have a task for you three,” Xu Zii pointed to the black-robed maiden.
Saying, “Find a way to draw her into our group.”
Hearing this, the trio was dumbfounded.
“Sir, please, these natives of Death Swamp are cursed; triggering anything bad is surely fate worse than death!”
“Stop the nonsense, either I send you to die now or you listen to ,” Xu Zii waved his hand.
The three dared not refuse any longer, cautiously approaching the black-robed maiden.
“Hello, would you like to join our team?”
Yellow Hair asked tentatively.
The chubby and thin ones stepped back cautiously, not daring to be closer than Yellow Hair.
The black-robed maiden raised her head, and Yellow Hair was startled.
Previously, she kept her head down, and no one saw that her face was covered with dense lines.
The appearance was very strange, with distorted characters that nobody understood.
Full of such lines, Yellow Hair was scared but feared Xu Zii more behind him.
He dared not run away.
“Aren’t you afraid of ?” the maiden asked puzzled.
“Everyone says I’m cursed, and they dare not approach.”
Her voice was soft and sweet.
“Not… not afraid, I like making friends,” Yellow Hair painfully smiled.
“Well then, I’ll join you, but don’t deceive ,” she nodded earnestly.
Lately, Yellow Hair brought the maiden over to introduce to Xu Zii.
And thus, their five-mber team was ford.
“Hello,” Xu Zii extended his hand friendly.
But the maiden dared not shake it, fearing misunderstanding and quickly explained, “I can’t touch you, there’s a curse on .
People who touch don’t end well.”
Upon hearing this, the three quickly stepped back, hiding behind Xu Zii.
“It’s fine, I’ve always had a tough life, not easy to kill,” Xu Zii laughed.
The maiden pondered and eventually extended her hand for a shake.
Actually, Xu Zii wanted to test it; at the mont of contact, he sensed a force flowing from her fingertips.
It entered his body, moving towards his heart.
“Is this the so-called curse?” Xu Zii chuckled.
The powerful force within enclosed the curse, carefully feeling it out.
“Indeed, it’s the power of a curse.”
A curse is a peculiar power, a light curse feels like bad luck, making you unlucky often.
Once ford, a curse signifies inevitable death.
Xu Zii looked at the maiden, her face covered by lines indicating the curse had penetrated deeply, hard to cure.
But strange indeed, as usually, these signs ant impending death.
However, the maiden before him appeared full of life.
Clearly, that Death Swamp holds sothing interesting.
Yet, the maiden seed timid; Xu Zii planned to know her better and ask about Death Swamp.
The maiden nad Mu Yang seed surprised Xu Zii endured their contact.
Excitedly, she said, “You’re the first outsider in years to touch and remain unhard.”
“I said I’m tough, even heaven can’t take , let alone a re curse,” Xu Zii laughed.
The five of them chatted, heading towards the Dongming Mountain Range.
Yellow Hair and his buddies wanted to apprentice and enter the Hidden God Sect, so Xu Zii asked Mu Yang her purpose.
She was unusually silent for a bit.
She said, “I ca for a redy, my mother is dying, I want to save her.
I heard the Divine Herb of the Hidden God Sect can break curses, I want to get one for her.”
