Chapter 701 The Restriction of Savages

"Undoing the curse for whom?" Shi Luo asked.

The old man in black robe replied: "For myself."

Everyone looked over.

The old man in black robe took off his robe, revealing his extremely thin body. Except for his hands and face, the other exposed skin was covered with red veins.

Yes, it's red veins.

The old man in black robe explained: "Originally, my face and hands should be covered with blood-red veins, but that might scare you."

Before meeting Shiluo and his group, the old man in black robe deliberately pressed the red veins on his body.

"Aren't there insects in here?" The cave was a little dark. Xiao Wang approached the old man in black robes, and he seemed to be able to see something swimming among the red veins.

It's not like blood. As the thing swims, the muscles and veins rise and fall little by little. From this look, the old man in black robe seems to be tied up by red living things.

The old man in black robe nodded, with a smile on his face, "Yes, but it's not a Gu insect."

He has lived in a corner these years, firstly to guard the village, and secondly because it is convenient for raising Gu.

There are countless poisonous insects in the deep forest, so it is not difficult to raise a Gu King.

But since it was a curse, the Gu worms he raised could not fight against the worms in his body.

He had swallowed dozens of Gu worms, and in the end, without exception, they were all devoured by the worms in his body.

After swallowing the Gu worms, it actually accelerated the reproduction and spread of the worms in his body. There were more and more red veins on his body. When he could no longer force the worms away from his face, it would be the time for his death.

His mission has not yet been completed and he cannot die within a short period of time.

"I've never heard that curses are caused by bugs growing in the body." After watching it for a long time, Xiao Wang always felt uncomfortable all over, as if these bugs could make his body numb and itchy through the air.

Hearing that it was a curse, Shi Luo and his party made way to let Zhuge who was standing at the door come in.

Zhuge stood still and echoed Xiao Wang's words, "I haven't heard of it either."

Following everyone's gaze, the old man in black robe guessed, "I think this kid knows something about curses."

Zhuge was not modest, "I am good at giving curses to people. Regardless of the magic books that are circulated on the market or privately collected by various companies, I have read nine out of ten books, but I have never seen such books as you." Planted.”

After saying this, Zhuge walked towards the old man in black robe.

He really became interested.

The old man in black robe asked the crow to pick up a thumb-sized bead he had collected. This bead would glow in the dark night.

The brightness is comparable to an incandescent lamp.

Zhuge walked up to him, walked around the black-robed old man, and looked at his neck and wrists.

"Do you mind if I do it?" Zhuge asked.

The old man in black robe said with a smile: "You are free to do whatever you want, little friend."

Zhuge stretched out his hand, attached the one on the black-robed old man's wrist, and pressed hard.

The smile on the black-robed old man's face faltered, and his body stiffened for a moment.

Zhuge took back his hand and said firmly: "You should bear the pain of being bitten by thousands of insects every day."

In this way, he could still smile without changing his face. Xiao Wang sighed at the side, this senior can really bear it.

Zhuge became more interested and asked, "If I cut your artery, can I take out the worm?"

"No." I'm afraid the old man in black robe has tried this method from the beginning.

These bugs are extremely smart. The more the old man in black robe tried to get rid of them, the more fierce the bugs resisted. They bit his flesh and blood, choked his breathing, and he was on the verge of death several times.

But those bugs still needed him and pulled him back from the brink of death several times.

"Have you tried anything else?"

The old man in black robe raised his other hand and showed everyone the three deep wounds on his arm that were visible to the bone. The skin there was also tightly wrinkled and a little twisted and ugly.

"I have eaten more than ten Gu worms, and without exception, they were all devoured by the worms. I have also gouged out these veins, but those worms were cunning and avoided them first."

Even if you didn't see it with your own eyes, you knew it was tragic.

The old man in black robe saw the sympathy of everyone, he smiled and said, "Before I took action, I took painkillers."

But the painkillers were of little use to punish him.

"You are so powerful, how could you be cursed?" Xiao Wang couldn't help but ask.

The old man in black robe put down his sleeves. He did not use magic to force down the insect. Slowly, in full view of everyone, the blood-red veins climbed up from his chest to his neck and then to his face.

"This curse is not for me alone." Wanting to ask Shi Luo and the others for help, the old man in black robe told the source of the curse, "This curse was placed on all the disciples of our sect."

The details can be described hundreds of years ago.

This was beyond everyone's expectations.

"How do you say that?"

"No one knows the truth of what happened that day. I only know that after entering the master's sect and practicing my own techniques, the curse will be triggered." The old man in black robe said: "Once the curse takes effect, no one can break the curse so far."

"In this case, why does your master still want you to practice?" Xiao Wang couldn't figure it out.

If his master had such a curse, his master would definitely not let him continue to practice.

"The village needs to be protected by people from the master's sect." The old man in black robe said, "It is the master's responsibility to protect the village."

Xiao Wang can understand this. For some people, responsibility is more important than life.

"In other words, as long as you don't practice, you won't be cursed, right?" Xiao Wang asked. "That's right." The old man in black robes looked far away, "But how many people can resist the temptation of such advanced magic?"

"Practice this technique to make life worse than death. What's the use of the most powerful technique? It can't make people live forever." Even if you can live forever, living in pain is not as good as dying normally.

The old man in black robe did not answer. He turned to Xiao Wang and asked, "How old do you think I am?"

Although the scars on his body were horrific, the wrinkles on the black-robed old man's face were not very deep, and his hair was only half white. Xiao Wang tried his best to guess as old as he could, "One hundred and twenty years old?"

Traveling around with his master, Xiao Wang met many ascetics who were over 100 years old, the oldest being nearly 150 years old.

The old man in black robe looked much younger than the other one.

"In three years, I will be two hundred years old."

Xiao Wang opened his mouth, and after a long while, he said, "It's really not easy for you."

The old man in black robe laughed out loud.

"I didn't want my descendants to suffer such pain, so I didn't accept any more disciples. Now I'm the only one left in the school." There was still one person alive in the village, so he had to live with him.

"According to my own calculation, even if I try all my methods, I still have at most three to five years to live." The old man in black robe looked towards the direction of the stockade, "If I am not here, they will go down the mountain."

"So what if we go down the mountain?" Xiao Wang was puzzled.

Although those savages were strong and could pierce through the trees with a hundred steps, no matter how fast they were, they couldn't compare with the hot weapons at the foot of the mountain.

"That's because of their restrictions." The old man in black robe said something shocking again.

"Once there is no restraint, the restriction will be lifted, their ferocity will overwhelm their humanity, and they will inevitably go down the mountain to do evil." No need for Xiao Wang to ask further, the old man in black robe said: "The restriction has been there since ancient times, and no one can break it so far. .”

"Why do I think you and those savages were all plotted against?" Xiao Wang used his imagination to guess.

There was no factual basis and the old man in black robe did not respond.

Zhuge touched his chin and kept staring at the wrist of the old man in black robe.

"If there is any need, I will cooperate."

Zhuge was not polite. He took out an exquisitely carved dagger from nowhere and said, "I'll try it first."

The old man in black robe stretched out his wrist in front of him.

Zhuge slashed his sword rudely.

Everyone looked at the wrist of the old man in black robe. After waiting for more than ten seconds, not a drop of blood came out.

The old man in black robe could have explained it, but he just explained it intuitively without eyes.

"As you can see, my blood is not under my control." In fact, there was not much blood that could still flow in his body, and most of it was sucked by the bugs.

If they hadn't known that the old man in black robe had no successor, these insects would certainly not have allowed him to live to this day.

"Without a drop of blood and without a single insect, how can we help you?" Ouyang Chen couldn't help but ask.

The old man in black robe smiled bitterly, "I only expected to meet someone who can save my life today. As for who it is and how it will save my life, I don't know."

Ouyang Chen and Xiao Wang both looked at Shi Luo habitually.

If there is anyone among them who can help the old man in black robe, I am afraid it will be too late.

Even if Shi Luo can't do anything now, given her time, she will definitely be able to find a way to solve the curse.

Shi Luo remained silent. She walked towards the old man in black robe and probed the inner part of his wrist. However, she could not detect any fluctuations in spiritual power. When she noticed any movement, the already restless insects swarmed towards the place where Shi Luo's fingers were pressed. go.

The old man in black robe couldn't hide his shock. He fell forward when the bug touched him and jerked his hand back.

"Don't let those bugs touch you." Even if Shi Luo is not cursed, as long as he is touched by these bugs, he cannot escape the fate of being controlled.

The insects were obviously not satisfied. They kept rolling in the black-robed old man's veins, but did not try to break through his skin.

Shi Luo lowered her head and thought for a moment, then she said guiltily: "I don't know how to help."

Shi Luo knew that if he couldn't help the old man in black robe, Master Hua would not accept the red tree fruit.

Without the red wood fruit, Master Hua would have lost his arm in recent years.

"Whether you can help me break this curse or not, please accept this fruit." The old man in black robe handed the red wood fruit to Master Hua Tian again.

Hua Tianshi didn’t intend to take it.

Even if the other party offers it as a gift, they cannot accept it without reason.

Mingxun, who was closest to Shi Luo, saw the thrilling scene just now. He grabbed Shi Luo's wrist, brought her to him, and said to Shi Luo, "Luo Luo, you did your best."

Realizing that the bugs in his body were getting more and more violent, the old man in black robe changed his previous attempt to persuade him to stay and said to Shi Luo, "Thank you for coming with me. I'll see you off now."

As far as the old man in black robe knows, these bugs only like to stay in the bodies of people who have been cursed. The deeper the parasitized person's skills, the more they like it.

Shi Luo is an exception.

He couldn't harm this little girl.

"I won't leave." Zhuge spoke first.

Zhuge likes challenges, and the more difficult the challenge, the more excited he is.

Shi Luo also stood still.

She wanted Master Hua to take the red tree fruit and grow arms as soon as possible.

　Thank you girls for your support, I love you.
