Chapter 573 Curse
"Why?" Wen Guying asked.

"Because of the curse." Chief Yu replied. He said, "Half-demons are beings abandoned by ancient demon beasts and humans. After the end of the ancient times, we can finally live here openly, but we can only live here. Many of my ancestors wanted to leave here. Our physiques are stronger than mortals, and our lifespans are longer than mortals. We should live in a better place. But as soon as we have this idea and start to leave, disaster will come."

"What disaster?" Wen Guying asked.

"All kinds of things, such as flocks of birds falling from the sky, grass and trees withering overnight, cattle and sheep dying." Chief Yu paused and said, "These are nothing. If you continue to insist on doing what you want, you will get a strange disease, your skin will gradually become hard and rough, and then you will lose the ability to speak and move, and eventually turn into a stone sculpture. But at that time, you are not dead, you can still hear sounds and see colors. Only when your lifespan is exhausted and a seed breaks through the stone sculpture and grows out of your body, can you get the final peace."

While listening, Li Chuan looked at Yu Yang and found that he had a surprised expression, as if he had never heard of anything about a curse.

Li Chuan retracted his gaze and asked, "But there are also half-demons who have left the Cangwu wilderness and are walking outside?"

"It's okay to leave for a short time, three to five years, ten years, it doesn't matter, as long as you don't have that thought." The head of the Yu tribe replied: "The half-demon is bound to the Cangwu wilderness."

"We are bound here," Chief Yu repeated, "I also feel there is another curse. The Cangwu Plain is very vast, and the half-demon tribes could have supported each other, but every three to five hundred years, the tribes would always have conflicts and kill each other because of some minor frictions. It's like being shrouded by a greedy giant beast. The conflict will not end until it has devoured enough flesh and blood and falls asleep again, and when it wakes up, conflict will arise again."

"We are barely surviving in this world, unable to grow stronger, nor to disappear. Therefore, regarding the catastrophes of gods and demons, and the distant past, there are no complete records in the tribe, only fragments passed down by our ancestors."

"That half-demon woman originally brought us hope." said Chief Yu.

"Why?" Li Chuan was puzzled.

"Because she has strong bloodline and is not from any of the five tribes." Jiang Mei answered Li Chuan.

"That's right." Chief Yu said, "She took more than a dozen people away, and the curse did not fall."

After a moment of silence, Wen Guying informed Chief Yu of their purpose. He said, "Thirty thousand years ago, after the defeat of the gods and demons, they left some backup plans. We suspect that an important figure from the gods may be sleeping in the Cangwu Wilderness. We came to the Cangwu Wilderness to find him."

"Do you think the various anomalies in the Cangwu wilderness before were related to him?" asked Chief Yu.

"I think there is a connection." Wen Guying said cautiously. He said, "So I would like to ask Chief Yu to find a tribe member who is proficient in spells to go with us to explore the Cangwu Wilderness. In this way, if we find anything related to the anomaly, you will be the first to know."

"I can't give you someone like this." Chief Yu shook his head and said, "This matter concerns the entire Half-Demon tribe, and I can't make a decision. But if you have a Half-Demon tribe member who is on good terms with you and is willing to go with you, I won't stop you."

"Thank you." Wen Guying said.

The leader of the Feather Tribe said: "Since you are here, try the special dishes of the Feather Tribe and the Feather Tribe's bar."

……

So Li Chuan ate too much again.

He planned to go out for a walk to help digest his food, but when he stood up, he felt dizzy. Was the food poisonous? Then he realized belatedly that he might be drunk.

When he woke up again, he was lying on a thick blanket with a big rooster.

Li Chuan raised his head hard and saw Lao Xiaokai standing by the stove not far away, seeming to be cooking something. Some strange aroma wafted out.

Pang San was also there. The windows in the room were covered by thick curtains, and the light was very dim.

Pang San was the first to notice that he had woken up. He asked, "Brother, how do you feel?"

"It's okay." Li Chuan rubbed his brows and sat up, asking, "What time is it?"

"It's night now, brother, you should sleep a little longer." Pang San said.

"Is the polar day over?" Li Chuan asked.

"No, it's bright outside," Lao said with a smile, and walked to the window and opened it. "Look, it's always this bright. If you live in a place like this, you'll be uncomfortable and go crazy in a few days."

"What are you cooking?" Li Chuan asked.

"This is the medicine for you to drink." Lao Xiaokai replied, "It contains a lot of medicinal herbs that are unique to the Cangwu Wilderness. They were all found by Chief Yu." As he spoke, he found a bowl and poured the medicine into it. Then he walked to Li Chuan with the bowl in his hand, squatted down, and handed the bowl to him, "Drink it."

Li Chuan took the bowl, sniffed it and found it very fragrant, so he took a big sip, then closed his mouth tightly and swallowed it. Then he asked, "What did you put in it? Why does it smell fishy?"

"How can medicine taste good?" Lao said with a smile.

"That's right." So Li Chuan took a deep breath, and then drank the medicine in one breath. Because he drank it too quickly, he started coughing. He was afraid that he would cough out the medicine again, so he tried his best to steady his breathing and coughed softly. It took him a long time to calm down.

Gong Er also woke up at this time and said, "Brother, why are you coughing again?"

"I choked," Li Chuan said, and then he asked, "Where are Master Wen and Master Jiang?"

Lao laughed and said, "They followed Chief Yu to the Xun tribe. Do you want to sleep a little longer?"

Li Chuan shook his head and said, "No, I'm going out for a walk."

Lao smiled and said, "Then I'll go to sleep. I advise you to sleep more if you can."

"Have you heard about what Chief Yu said before?" Li Chuan asked him.

Lao laughed and said, "He told you all these things because he wanted something from you. Half-demons are all bad."

"Where is the half-demon woman?" Li Chuan asked.

Lao Xiaokai said, "She's nothing." He said, "When I was in prison, I was thinking about this. How did she develop the Frost Leaf Sect to that level in just a few years? Who is the person behind her? To the point that even the immortal wanted to kill her?"

"Have you figured anything out?" Li Chuan asked.

"No, but she has a good relationship with many monsters, so I wonder..." Lao Xiaokai glanced at Li Chuan and said, "Is there an ancient monster standing behind her? Is her purpose to cut off the path of ascension for the Xuanmen monks?"
