Luo Liang wouldn't feel at ease if he didn't ask clearly about the strange situation just now.
"This phenomenon might be related to the power of curses and mysticism."
Xiaochu could only give a rough judgment.
Luo Liang relayed the scene sent by the ice snake, but there were fewer clues.
The Hydra people on the scene didn't know what the yellow-faced young man saw.
Curse? Mysticism?
Luo Liang pondered. The power of curses was often related to mysticism.
Mysticism's power couldn't be measured by normal logic.
For example, the Little Squirrel's 100% accuracy.
The yellow-faced youth's inexplicable self-combustion was also beyond common sense.
Squeak!
Luo Liang thought and called out the Little Squirrel, who was sleeping soundly in the two-dimensional world in his pocket.
The Little Squirrel opened its sleepy eyes and looked around curiously.
As if it smelled something familiar, the Little Squirrel waved its claws excitedly and pointed at the tomb palace in front of it.
"Don't worry."
Luo Liang smiled and stroked its little head.
"What a cute squirrel. Liang, is this your pet? "
Lin Qingqing was pleasantly surprised.
The Little Squirrel didn't resist Lin Qingqing. It even jumped on her and played with her.
Luo Liang was slightly surprised. The Little Squirrel didn't like many beauties, such as Yoo Bong-yeon, one of the three beauties of the freshmen, and the counselor Li Peiqi.
In terms of beauty and temperament, Yoo Bong-yeon wasn't inferior to Lin Qingqing.
At this time.
There was a new development in the scene sent by the ice snake.
The two groups of Hydra members were first frightened by the yellow-faced youth's self-combustion. They kept it a secret and didn't dare to approach.
However, Greedy Snake also had extraordinary people under him.
One of them, a gray-robed old man from a level 3 city-state, was surprised and thoughtful.
He whispered, "This situation might be related to the power of curses."
"Oh? What do you think, Mr. An? "
Greedy Snake was more polite.
The gray-robed old man, Mr. An, was a mysterious and powerful sorcerer.
"The activation of a curse usually has many restrictions. There's no need to panic. "
Mr. An muttered.
"This kind of situation is very rare. There might be some kind of unknown condition. If it was anyone else, they might not be able to do so. Or maybe it won't be triggered again for a period of time. "
Upon hearing Mr. An's analysis, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
If the stone temple's tomb was filled with such unintentionally triggered death curses, it would simply be fatal.
"Is there any way to break it?"
Greedy Snake quickly glanced at the empty hall that looked like a storeroom.
In this hall, there were some scattered items, broken weapons, and defensive equipment. This should be the most valuable place they had reached so far.
If it wasn't for the unknown curse power, they would have reaped a huge harvest.
"I can't guarantee anything, but we can try and see what kind of cursed item it is."
Mr. An laughed.
He took out a glass bottle and poured out one to two hundred flying insects that were slightly larger than ants.
These flying insects scattered and flew into the cursed hall to touch the various items inside.
Mr. An didn't look directly at the hall. Instead, he monitored it with a detection device and observed it from the outside through a projection.
Looking through the device instead of directly at it might lower the conditions for the curse to be triggered.
And he only observed the flying insects, not the other items in the hall.
A few dozen seconds later.
On the surveillance screen.
* Chi *
A few flying insects touched a palm-sized fairy doll that looked like it was carved out of jade. Black smoke rose from the bodies of the insects.
In an instant, the flying insects were reduced to charred powder.
Mr. An's eyelids twitched. He quickly glanced at the fairy doll.
It didn't look much different from an ordinary doll. It was made of plaster and snow jade. The details were exquisite.
The fairy doll was dignified and holy, luxurious and pure. But the smile in its eyes had a strange feeling that stirred up emotions in the bottom of one's heart.
Mr. An felt a faint burning sensation in his soul. He quickly averted his gaze.
When the others who were watching the projection saw the flying insects combusting, they quickly averted their gazes.
"From the test results, this fairy doll is a cursed item. It was only triggered after a few flying insects touched it. This means that human eyes may not be the trigger condition. There may be other factors that caused that person to be affected. "
Mr. An was still calm. He smiled faintly.
"So, as long as we don't touch or look at the cursed doll, we can obtain the other items in the hall?"
Greedy Snake's subordinate, a level three City-state, asked.
This City-state was a large, dark-skinned man. His voice was like a gong.
The miscellaneous items in the cursed hall, the broken weapons and armor, may be useless to a Starry Sky powerhouse.
But the aura of these items indicated that many of them were at least level three or four. Some of the broken weapons and tools may be of a higher level when they were intact.
This was a rare opportunity for everyone present.
"It's not a big problem."
Mr. An hesitated for a moment before giving his judgment.
As soon as he finished.
* Chi Chi Chi *
The numerous flying insects in the hall were suddenly charred and smoking, leaving behind a pile of insect corpses.
Everyone sucked in a breath of air.
A few people who were about to enter the cursed hall with greedy and excited expressions retreated in fear.
One of them was so scared that he hugged his head and curled up on the ground.
"This …"
Mr. An's face was red and his expression was stiff. He had to endure many unfriendly gazes.
He did not expect such a sudden situation.
"Let's go."
Greedy Snake's voice was cold. He gave up decisively and glanced at Mr. An.
This cursed hall was like a storeroom. It should not be the most valuable place in the stone hall.
The most valuable place must be where the master of the stone hall lived or where the corpse was stored.
Greedy Snake did not want to lose the big picture for small gains. He did not want to take a huge risk for immediate benefits.
"Yes, we can't delay. Otherwise, Luo Liang and Lin Qingqing may get the inheritance of the stone hall."
Razer agreed.
Mr. An's lips moved. He glanced at the fat girl Han Meimei but did not say anything in the end.
He felt that his judgment was not wrong.
Maybe there was something wrong with the details.
He also had a guess. If the descendants of the Heavenly Sun bloodline were involved, they might not be afraid of the curse.
However.
Mr. An had just made a mistake and embarrassed himself. Plus, he did not know much about curses and Mystic-type powers. He did not have the confidence to make another suggestion.
Both sides only had one Heavenly Sun descendant. Greedy Snake and the other two leaders probably did not dare to try.
Once Han Meimei died, they would not be able to leave the stone hall. The risk was too great.
…
On the other side.
In the front courtyard of the stone hall.
Luo Liang obtained more information through the images transmitted by Ice Snake. Xiaochu's judgment became more and more accurate.
Through the images projected by those people's equipment, the situation in the cursed stone hall could be seen clearly.
Luo Liang laughed at Xiaochu's final analysis.
Once again, he sighed with emotion. They were really a bunch of adorable tools and workers.
In fact, Mr. An's test analysis was very close to the truth.
That cursed doll could directly trigger the Mystic-type curse power through physical contact.
Next was the feeling of the soul.
The eyes were the windows to the soul. If one looked at the fairy doll and felt negative emotions, the curse could be transmitted to the target's body through the soul.
This was the case for the yellow-faced man who was the first to be affected.
However, this method of triggering the curse through the eyes and soul had harsh conditions. It could not be triggered continuously.
Therefore, the flying insects that entered the stone hall later triggered the curse after coming into contact with the fairy doll.
As for why the flying insects all acted up later.
This was because the fairy doll had been stored in the hall for too long, resulting in a weak residual curse power in the room.
This level of weakness would not have much effect as long as it was a superhuman.
However, those flying insects were too small and had low life levels. Their resistance was weak, and they were all triggered after entering.
After all, Mr. An did not dabble much in curses and Mystic-types. His general judgment was correct, but it was reasonable that he could not grasp some details.
However …
Mr. An's failure to step on the landmine gave Luo Liang enough experimental data and clues.
When the two sides of Hydra entered deeper into the tomb palace.
Luo Liang and Lin Qingqing arrived in front of the cursed stone hall.
Squeak!
The Little Squirrel sat on Luo Liang's shoulder and waved its claws excitedly, looking impatient.
"Xiaochu, are you sure we can all go in?"
Luo Liang asked.
"You have a thin [True Dragon trait] and have a certain immunity to most curses. As long as you don't touch it directly, there will be no problem."
"Lin Qingqing's Heavenly Sun bloodline purity is not low. This kind of bloodline descendant of the supreme of the universe also has a strong immunity. Moreover, this stone hall inheritance was originally prepared for the descendants of the Heavenly Sun. "
Xiaochu explained.
"Even if we exclude this factor, the [Heart-Calming Exorcist Talisman] on you has a slight resistance to this kind of Mystic-type curse power."
"Okay."
Luo Liang was relieved, mainly because he trusted the [True Dragon trait]. After all, it was a tyrannical attribute of a mythical species.
As for the Little Squirrel, looking at its excited appearance, it did not seem to be afraid of the curse here. It was a Mystic-type, and might have something in common with the fairy doll.
Luo Liang was the first to enter the cursed stone hall.
His gaze was fixed on the dignified and sacred fairy doll.
He felt a slight burning in his soul, and his emotions fluctuated inexplicably. He could not help but have all kinds of greedy and dark thoughts.
Wu!
A mysterious and ancient aura rose from Luo Liang's body, as if there was the low roar of a Qilin and a True Dragon.
In an instant, the mysterious and strange power that was close to Luo Liang burst like a bubble.
Lin Qingqing entered after him, and the situation was similar to his.
The Little Squirrel was even more relaxed. After entering the hall, it looked like it was drunk and naive, as if it was breathing in fresher air.
Squeak!
The Little Squirrel's figure flashed, and it arrived in front of the fairy doll, grabbing the doll that was similar in size to it.
The fairy doll's face twisted strangely, showing an expression of shock, anger, and resentment.
The doll shook and struggled, and suddenly thick black smoke rose.
Its snow-white body turned into a charcoal-like black, as if an angel had been demonized.
The curse power in the hall increased by dozens of times.
Luo Liang and Lin Qingqing's hearts palpitated inexplicably, and the surface of their skin felt a slight burning sensation.
Fortunately, the two of them had good "resistance". If it were an ordinary Level 2, it would be difficult for them to be unharmed.
Squeak! Smack!
The Little Squirrel was a little angry. It raised its paw and slapped the charred doll's head.
The charred doll's body stiffened, and its eyes sparkled. It entered a state of dizziness, sluggishness, and confusion.
A few seconds later.
The charred surface of the fairy doll's body faded, and it regained its snow-white, plaster-like color. Its face fell, and it showed some fear and helplessness.
Squeak!
The Little Squirrel looked happy and satisfied. It dragged the fairy doll to play with it, and when it was excited, it threw the doll far away like a rubber ball.
Luo Liang's heart stirred.
This fairy doll triggered the curse by looking at it, but there was a limit. It could not be triggered continuously.
But through physical contact, the curse power was more direct and fierce.
"If the Cursed Doll is combined with the Little Squirrel's 100% hit rate …"
Luo Liang could not help but laugh at this thought.
Cursed Doll + 100% hit rate = 100% curse power?
"Xiaochu, what level of power does this Cursed Doll have?"
Luo Liang asked.
"It involves the power of Mystery and curses, so the calculation is more complicated."
Xiaochu paused for a moment.
"Excluding special cases like yours, there is a certain immunity trait. If you touch it directly, you will basically be cursed. The specific effect depends on the target's overall strength and quality. Weak Level 2 and Level 2 will mostly be charred and die. Level 4 will also be affected. "
Xiaochu gave a rough assessment.
Luo Liang was overjoyed after hearing this. Touching the Cursed Doll directly was indeed powerful. Even he, who had the True Dragon trait, would be affected.
This was equivalent to a 100% curse rate for Level 5 and below.
The matter of the Cursed Doll was settled.
Luo Liang's gaze swept across some of the messy items in the hall. There were broken weapons and armor.
He sensed it through his spirit heart.
The aura of those items made Luo Liang's head jump, and he was ecstatic.
This was just a preliminary assessment.
The value of the treasures in the Cursed Hall exceeded his expectations. It was much more surprising than the harvest of the Cursed Doll.
"This hall doesn't feel like a simple grocery store."
