Chapter 1119: Chapter 770: Curse

Li Changhe’s path forward was blocked by a checkpoint, and a tall, heavily-armored knight in golden armor was wandering around the checkpoint.

Putting his strength aside, his appearance was quite impressive.

The huge warhorse, clad in a golden vest, resembled a wild beast, deterring the nearby monsters from getting too close.

The heavily-armored knight atop it wielded a golden halberd and a golden shield, looking very majestic.

Li Changhe couldn’t help but take a few more glances at him, perhaps this knight had a King’s Medal?

However, now wasn’t the time to think about collecting King’s Medals; what he needed to consider was how to get through the checkpoint and meet up with Big Iron Pestle as soon as possible.

This was a narrow section in the ravine, only about a hundred meters wide, with steep rock walls on both sides.

And this checkpoint was blocking those hundred meters completely, with over a hundred knights roaming around it.

If he were to charge through the checkpoint... indeed, that was an option. Although there were many enemies, Li Changhe was still very confident in himself.

But this would undoubtedly expose his location to the other players. There must be players who wanted to take the King’s Medals from others, and moreover, it could very well end up like the old unfortunate Big Iron Pestle.

Those knights were very persistent in chasing enemies, having followed Big Iron Pestle for at least two kilometers without giving up. The black hawk could no longer see Big Iron Pestle’s location and had no idea where the guy was hiding.

So, charging through the official checkpoint still carried some risks. He could be trapped in an endless battle. As for completely eliminating the enemy... that would be an even greater expenditure.

However, Li Changhe couldn’t fly himself, and there was a strange sense of restraint above the ravine. The black hawks he released couldn’t fly too high either. Some mysterious force would always pull them down forcibly. They could at most hover less than a hundred meters in mid-air, which might be related to the curse left by the passing of the Nameless Demigod. Otherwise, Li Changhe could have tried climbing the ravine.

"If I can’t go over, then let’s go under," Li Changhe thought.

"You speak as if you could really fly," Yun Ting teased mercilessly.

Li Changhe didn’t respond to her, instead, he performed the Earth Walking technique in the forest.

It was an ability left to him by his father, Ghost Hand, perhaps to let his son escape faster when in danger.

Ghost Hand did not leave behind his proudest Faceless Method but opted to leave the so-called "Earth Walking" technique that could theoretically cover a thousand miles a day.

In these circumstances, using the Earth Walking technique couldn’t be more suitable.

It allowed Li Changhe to swim through the ground under the fortress as if he were swimming in water.

As for Ghost Hand’s claim of covering a thousand miles a day, after asking the Extraordinary Association, Li Changhe decided he was just bragging.

Afterward, Li Changhe bit into an oxygen capsule, and his body sank into the ground. With the help of the oxygen capsule, he could "swim" farther.

But he quickly discovered a problem. Usually, performing the Earth Walking technique was like swimming in water, but here, it felt like trudging through a swamp, moving forward slowly and with difficulty.

Li Changhe frantically swam for two minutes, switching from freestyle to breaststroke and then to the doggy paddle, advancing just over two meters.

He had no choice but to crawl out of the ground, disgruntled. At this rate, it would take him several days just to get past the checkpoint.

"It seems that the demigod’s curse has given the ground some kind of resistance," Li Changhe frowned, then with a flash of spatial fluctuation in his hand, he took out Old Lead, "If that’s the case, let’s break this curse. Old Lead!"

Saying this, he placed Old Lead on the ground. Old Lead also revealed a kind smile.

If there was anything beneficial for Li Changhe in this ravine, it was the omnipresent Divinity curse.

These curses twisted the forms of the knights and beasts, turning them into dangerous and irrational monsters, as they gradually lost their reason.

But for Old Lead, this was a buffet.

"I wonder how much I can eat," Li Changhe thought.

....

Several kilometers away, Big Iron Pestle, who was hiding in a hollow tree, could only lament his ill-fated destiny.

Endowed with the Reaper’s Favor, as soon as he entered the canyon, he had a strong influence on the surrounding Divinity.

This large canyon contained the grudge of the Nameless Demigod who had died here, and as the place of a Demigod’s fall, a powerful and twisted curse affected the entire canyon.

Thus, Big Iron Pestle’s Reaper’s Favor triggered immediately. When the nearby curse was temporarily suppressed, all the enemies in the vicinity also discovered him at the same time.

That curse might be very important to the local creatures of this area.

This subjected the newly arrived Big Iron Pestle to a barrage of attacks from a variety of enemies.

A multitude of soldiers, knights, and even beasts all saw him as prey.

Big Iron Pestle was no longer what he used to be, ranking in the top twenty of the lv12 Battle Power Rankings.

In a certain plot task, he had single-handedly foiled an entire powerful plot force, which skyrocketed his notoriety.

Of course, he hadn’t really done much. He had just charged into the power’s territory and lingered there for a few days. But a series of bizarre misfortunes quickly befuddled his adversaries.

For instance, experts practicing their skills collectively experienced Demonic Possession. Alternatively, messengers would suddenly lose their sense of direction when they left their homes, among other such strokes of bad luck, which also caused the original conspiratorial action to completely fail.

Alas, even so, Big Iron Pestle couldn’t face so many enemies at once.

After barely defeating a black knight, he had almost no time to rest before he was again besieged by several powerful knights, all the while being harried by beasts.

This forced him to run for his life, and luckily, [Uncle Eight-direction] from his [Friends] was also in the canyon. His black eagle had spotted him and informed him of some of the enemies’ movements from the air.

Big Iron Pestle took this opportunity to immediately start suppressing the Reaper’s Favor, which allowed him to evade the knights’ pursuit.

However, Big Iron Pestle was somewhat used to it. As a soldier, he had already experienced plenty of misfortunes. He had been teleported right in front of a boss’s face and had accidentally awakened the boss before.

Now that he had someone supporting him, he was already satisfied.

"I wonder if the Archer has arrived yet," Big Iron Pestle thought, and he contacted [Uncle Eight-direction] through [Friends]: "By the way, Archer, I’ve told you before. You need to be careful of the curse here. Once the curse is damaged or influenced, all the creatures nearby will instantly notice and attack."

No sooner had he sent the message than Big Iron Pestle felt vibrations coming from the distance.

A great number of heavy armored knights charged down the main road at a gallop, while in the forest, many monstrous creatures roared terrifyingly.

Big Iron Pestle, hiding in the tree hollow, changed color and immediately prepared for battle, only to realize that the knights’ target was not him.

Instead, they were charging towards the east of the canyon. Who knows which unfortunate soul had attracted so many natives?

Soon, Big Iron Pestle knew who it was.

Because a message from [Uncle Eight-direction] came through [Friends].

"Why the hell didn’t you say so earlier!"
