Chapter 228: A Land of Deep Evil and Cursed Lifeforms

After Locke and his companions’ carriage convoy moved away from the black wooden sculpture with a human face, the sculpture in the mud began to mechanically repeat itself. “One out of ten will die. One out of ten… will die, and the eleven will be cursed…”

At the same time, many shadows appeared around the black relief.

These shadows all looked like humans, but they were never living beings.

A shadow monster picked up the wooden sculpture on the ground. They were the ones who had secretly placed this cursed object at the place where the carriage convoy must pass. As long as there was any response, the curse would begin.

These shadow monsters gathered here and began to discuss.

“It’s better not to follow that convoy. I don’t know why, but it suddenly became annoying. They have a disgusting smell…”

“who are they?”

“It has nothing to do with us. We are the enemies of the cursed living beings, those wizards, and all the mortals in this land.”

“Let’s choose the next mortal family and put this wood carving in there. Then we might have more of our kind… hehe…”

“Sooner or later, we will destroy all wizards and mortals.”

…

In the carriage, Locke looked back at the place where the demons gathered. In the dusk, he saw countless shadow monsters swarming there.

What a curse-fest.

This land should be full of these [Cursed Life Forms].

Locke had not studied them in depth, nor had he read much relevant literature, but he knew that these cursed life forms were probably formed by the entanglement and condensation of the cursed energy of this land with a large amount of death and resentment.

In other words, any living being that dies in this evil land may become a cursed living being after death.

“The wizards of the Blood Curse Court are using them to raise poisonous insects.” Albert’s voice appeared in Locke’s ears. “These resentful beings are the best ingredients for curse magic.”

Locke said, “It’s a great experience.”

Locke looked at the muddy path the carriage convoy was traveling on, secretly recording the characteristics of the plants in the Blood Raven Wasteland. Magic plants were very common, and there were many magic plants in the wild.

Therefore, the Blood Crow Wasteland also has its own group of magical plants.

Albert looked out the carriage window and said with some concern: “It’s already late, it can’t be any later.”

“No mortal can survive the night in the wilds of the Blood Raven Wasteland.”

“There are already so many evil creatures at dusk. If it were completely night, their number would be even greater. Moreover, it seems strange to see a mortal caravan moving at night.”

The voice of the witch Sophia appeared in his ears through the Nibelungen astrology system. “According to the map here, there is a mortal village ahead. As long as we enter the mortal village and get the protection of their bonfire in the center of the village, there should be no problem.”

Witch Gabriel suddenly said in the Nibelungen Astrology System, “No, I have a very bad feeling. We absolutely cannot spend the night in that mortal village ahead.”

“Something bad could happen there.”

Witch Gabriel’s words made Locke and others fall into silence.

Witch Gabriel’s permanent defensive force field is an arcane prophecy, so her intuition has a very high priority in this team.

Anything she felt was dangerous would be stopped immediately.

But according to Witch Sophia and Albert, they could not act at night in the Blood Raven Wasteland, otherwise it would seem very strange.

Also, it is dangerous.

If they encounter some brainless cursed life forms, they may be forced to take action.

This would easily cause a reaction from the five sets of Wall of the Unbelievers on the Blood Curse Tribunal’s side.

Lady Morgana offered advice within the Nibelungen astrological system. “You know the results, but not the reasons.”

“A bonfire is just an ordinary fire. As long as there’s a light source, those cursed life forms will actively avoid it. So you can borrow some firewood from the village ahead and build a bonfire yourself in the wild.”

Andy, the Incinerator, agreed. “Yes, just as Teacher Morgana said. When I was fighting on the front lines, I also heard that the mortal merchants in the Blood Raven Wasteland would light their own bonfires in the wilderness if they had no other choice.”

About half an hour later, a village standing in the wilderness appeared before everyone’s eyes.

The village is not large and most of the buildings are thatched houses.

Albert was better at negotiation. No one knew how he negotiated with the villagers in that village, but soon he had hundreds of villagers delivering large amounts of firewood to their carts.

When the carriage retreated, Locke saw through the window that some people in the village had abnormal looks in their eyes. They were standing in dark corners or behind doors, with a crack open, looking at them with complicated eyes.

Locke said, “There are some low-level vampires mixed in with the village. They don’t look like wizards who have transformed their own bloodlines. They are more like accessories under the vampire transformation curse system. They are vampires who have been infected by mortals.”

Albert nodded affirmatively and said, “Locke, you have a keen sense of observation, which is a good advantage.”

“Yes. You are right. About one-third of the people in that village are now vampires, and they are very bloodthirsty. The killing is still going on. If we stay in this village tonight, I am afraid we will clash with them.”

“Witch Gabriel’s intuition is really useful.”

“That’s why they were so happy to give us all kinds of firewood. They don’t want to cause any trouble and want our caravan to leave as soon as possible. Especially since we drank the Bear Spirit Green Gallbladder Potion, the smell on our bodies will make them physically uncomfortable.”

Locke frowned. “What the hell is this dark wizard land?”

Albert looked at Locke and smiled, “You don’t like it. I don’t like it either, but the Blood Curse Court has completely alienated this place over the past thousands of years.”

“Perhaps when we become more powerful wizards, we will have the power to eliminate things we don’t like.”

The voice of witch Sophia appeared in the ears of Locke and Albert. “Everyone, we will spend the night in the wilderness tonight.”

“At the same time, we will enter the curse ritual research institute in about a day.”

“We must be vigilant. The closer we get to the Curse Spell Research Institute, the more frequent the Wall of Unbelievers’ checks will be.”

“I will give each of you a bottle of energy potion later. Let’s not sleep on this night in the Blood Raven Wasteland.”
