Chapter 488 The Secret Behind the Dragon's Curse

The little demon whale swallowed the Yin Rat Demon in one gulp. The Devouring Demon to Become Emperor was activated, and the little demon whale's lifespan burned extremely. The burning lifespan formed a strange power that traced the Yin Rat Demon back to its source and refined it back into a wisp of pure primordial demonic energy.

After absorbing that wisp of primordial demonic energy, the little demon whale's eyes became more lively. Its previous gaze was innocent and naive, but now it was innocent yet clever.

In addition, the little demon whale has grown a bit larger, and its level has broken through to Iron IV.

This time, after devouring the demon and becoming emperor, the little demon whale didn't change much overall; the changes were mainly reflected in its increased intelligence.

Li Cunxu asked, "How much of your lifespan has been consumed?"

Little Demon Whale: "Pfft~ (Consumes 130 years)"

"That's okay!"

Refining a Yin Rat Demon doesn't actually require that much lifespan; three or four years' lifespan is enough.

The skill "Devouring Demons to Become Emperor" refines demons, and the lifespan it burns can be controlled—it can be longer or shorter.

The longer the burning lifespan, the more thoroughly it is refined, and the more power it absorbs from this demon.

This Yin Rat Demon possesses legendary innate intelligence, making it worthwhile to expend so much of its lifespan.

Over the next few days, Li Cunxu kept a close eye on the swarm of ethereal jellyfish, setting fires, extinguishing the fires, and transforming the blood of the Burning Life Demon.

Since there are no demons around, the little demon whale cannot use its Devour Demon Emperor technique for the time being.

After several days of burning, the swarm of luminous jellyfish was completely wiped out under Li Cunxu's pursuit.

While setting fire to the swarm of luminous jellyfish, Li Cunxu was also waiting for Jiang Lingyun to return so they could go to the Misty Sea together. However, for some reason, Jiang Lingyun did not return for a long time.

Since Li Cunxu had nothing better to do, he went to Tongdu and secretly investigated the matter of someone putting a strange object with a curse from an evil dragon into the Tongdu Treasure Vault.

Li Cunxu had always found that matter strange.

The curse of the dragon will gradually lead people astray, turning them into dragons themselves.

The evil dragon is uncontrollable and will eat and kill people.

However, after reviewing the Tongdu news over the years, Li Cunxu found no reports of any incidents of dragons injuring people.

Is someone covering up reports of these kinds of incidents, or did they never happen at all?

Li Cunxu originally planned to go to the treasure vault to see if there were any more dragon blood gems with the curse of the evil dragon, and use them as clues for investigation.

But before he even entered the treasure trove of strange artifacts, Li Cunxu was drawn to a high school student wearing the black and white uniform of Tongdu No. 1 Middle School. The student was riding a bicycle at breakneck speed through the streets, displaying a speed far beyond that of ordinary people.

Li Cunxu narrowed his eyes; Tianxin sensed that this high school student was cursed by an evil dragon.

The high school student's face beamed with joy and ambitious aspirations, but there was not a trace of sorrow. A boy cursed to transform into a mindless dragon should not be reacting like this.

Could it be that he was the one who was cursed by the dragon, and the dragon's curse hadn't taken effect yet, which is why his mood wasn't affected by it?
"He might be the key to the clue."

Li Cunxu instructed the little white spider to release the Spider of Fate onto the high school student to monitor him.

Just a hundred meters away from the treasure vault, a high school student sitting in a car passing by caught Li Cunxu's attention.

This high school student is also a victim of the dragon's curse.

Li Cunxu then had the little white spider place a fate spider on it to monitor it.

Even when randomly encountering two people afflicted by the Dragon Curse, Li Cunxu suspected that there were many more afflicted by the Dragon Curse in the city of Tongdu. Therefore, Li Cunxu simply decided to avoid entering the Treasure Vault and instead wander around Tongdu, hoping to find more afflicted individuals.

As a result, fourteen people who had been cursed were found.

Li Cunxu released the remaining two Destiny Spiders of the Little White Spider to monitor the cursed individuals.

As the Little White Spider's Law of Cause and Effect broke through to the intermediate level, the Law Skills bound to the Law of Cause and Effect also became stronger along with the Law. It can now release two more Fate Spiders, bringing the total to four.

With the White Spider of Fate watching over him, Li Cunxu had nothing to do and was idle again.

"what to do?"

Li Cunxu suddenly glanced at the large screen on the high-rise building. The screen was playing a bounty mission issued by the Tongdu Alliance to civilian beast tamers: "Clean up the Ghostly Jellyfish".

The second city built by Tongdu on the coast has encountered a big problem: an excessive number of glowing jellyfish have appeared in the waters surrounding the city, causing a major infestation.

They blocked the shipping routes out of the second city, preventing ships from leaving the second city's port.

In addition, they also wiped out the pet animals in the waters surrounding the second city, destroying the ecosystem of that area.

The Pupil Alliance is in dire need of manpower and urgently requires help to clear out the Glowing Jellyfish.

So Li Cunxu went to the seaside again and used the Burning Longevity Demon Fire to burn the swarm of Ghostly Light Jellyfish and collect the Burning Longevity Demon's blood.

A month later.

Seeing the once azure sea transformed into one that glowed with a ghostly blue light at night, as if it had been doused with a massive amount of fluorescent agent, Li Cunxu couldn't help but sigh, "The Evil God Cult is truly ruthless."

These glowing jellyfish are all considered evil beasts, so it's no surprise that the culprit behind this trouble is the Evil God Cult.

When the glow jellyfish dies, its body rapidly releases glowing toxins into the sea. The death of so many glow jellyfish and the release of their toxins have stained the entire area of ​​the ocean.

This sea area has been permanently polluted and cannot be cleaned up in less than two or three hundred years.

Moreover, the ocean, teeming with the deadly poison of the Glowing Jellyfish, is extremely suitable for its growth and reproduction. Therefore, the Pupil Alliance, not wanting the massive swarm of Glowing Jellyfish to resurface, must constantly monitor the ocean and regularly clean up the Glowing Jellyfish to prevent them from growing in large numbers again.

This ruthless move not only destroyed the marine resources near the second city but also tied up the Tongdu Alliance's future resources.

The little white spider reported, "Master, after being monitored by the four Destiny Spiders, we have roughly investigated the secrets behind the evil dragon's curse."

The force that cast the dragon curse in Tongdu was the Dragon Worship Cult. Their random casting of the dragon curse was intended to plant spies within the Alliance.

Li Cunxu asked in surprise, "A curse from an evil dragon? An undercover agent?"

The little white spider nodded. "Yes, the evil dragon curse can turn a person into an uncontrollable evil dragon. The Dragon Worship Cult possesses a special elixir called the Dragon Suppression Pill. The Dragon Suppression Pill can temporarily suppress the evil dragon curse, preventing it from taking effect. However, it must be taken continuously."

For those afflicted by an almost incurable dragon curse, this Dragon Suppression Pill is the only life-saving remedy.

Therefore, those under the curse cannot leave the Dragon Worship Cult and can only go down this dark path.

Furthermore, the Dragon Worship Cult is very clever and adept at winning people's hearts. They did not use the Dragon Suppression Pill to make them serve them exclusively, nor did they pay them.

While providing Dragon Suppression Pills free of charge to help those cursed suppress the evil dragon's curse and save their lives, they also secretly supported those cursed with resources to climb the ranks of the alliance.

Therefore, over the years, the Dragon Worship Cult has used this method to control many people, making those under the spell highly loyal to the Dragon Worship Cult.

Their plan has been running for over a decade, and now they have spies planted in every one of the top ten universities in the alliance.
