The firelight from the burning wood flickered gently in the night.
Duo Gan woke up with a start and saw the bonfire in front of him, his eyes filled with confusion.
Then, he reacted and quickly looked up at Tang Zheng, who was sitting not far away, smiling at him.
"Hu-human."
Duo Gan's voice was a little stuttering, and the pain in the back of his neck made him realize that everything in front of him was real, and his green pupils shrank.
Subconsciously.
Duo Gan curled up his legs and looked at the human in front of him with a face full of vigilance and tension.
When he was not very conscious during the day, Duo Gan didn't feel anything was wrong when fighting the human in front of him, he just wanted to kill him.
But at this moment, he regained consciousness.
Duo Gan immediately realized the incredible thing, this human could not only summon summons like angels that exist in the human world.
He himself also possessed terrifying combat power, and even knew how to use the ability like Shrink that only their race could learn.
The scariest thing!
This human has Curse Power, but it doesn't seem to have any effect on him.
"Looks like you're awake."
Tang Zheng noticed that the bloodshot eyes in the pupils of the Forest Gnome in front of him had faded, and even his somewhat neurotic and manic emotions had become stable. "Don't be so nervous, I don't have any malice."
"Anyway, let's fill our stomachs first, and then we'll talk slowly."
Tang Zheng picked up the wild boar meat that was roasted golden brown and sizzling with oil from the bonfire and handed it to the nervous Duo Gan beside him.
During Duo Gan's coma, Tang Zheng didn't just sit around.
Experience Points: 9632/10000
First of all, Experience Points has been increased to more than 9000. If the angels didn't have a time limit, I'm afraid I could have maxed out Experience Points today.
Although the area of this forest is far smaller than the Tove Great Forest, it is not small in scope. Ten Flame Archangels can only clear the Demon Creature in this area in a limited time.
He currently has 15 Flame Archangel summoning scrolls in his hand. In order to prevent accidents, he did not continue to summon angels.
In addition to the experience gained, the Curse Power in Tang Zheng's body became a little richer again, but the overall increase in the concentration of Curse Power was not high.
At first.
Tang Zheng suspected that the angels were too far away from him, and the Curse Power that escaped from the bodies of the Demon Creature after their death could not be absorbed.
So, Tang Zheng entered the forest again and killed a few Demon Creature himself, and found that the energy of Curse Power obtained was indeed not much.
The only thing that can be determined is that the Curse Power content in different Demon Creature varies greatly, especially the stronger the Demon Creature, the more Curse Power energy in the body.
"Don't eat it!" Duo Gan's expression changed when he saw the wild boar meat being handed over, and he took a step back.
Tang Zheng was stunned and looked at the other party in confusion.
"This forest has been cursed, and there is poison in the bodies of all living things!"
Duo Gan's eyes showed a hint of fear, and then he thought of something and looked at Tang Zheng: "That's right, that's right, you control this curse, you are not afraid of this forest."
"Where is Pasha? Is he okay?"
Duo Gan's emotions became a little agitated again, but this time he didn't lose control.
Poisonous?
Tang Zheng paused with the wild boar meat in his hand. He had already eaten a lot of it before Duo Gan woke up.
But he didn't feel any discomfort in his body.
"Cough."
Tang Zheng coughed dryly and put the wild boar meat back on the bonfire.
The "poison" mentioned by Duo Gan should be the Curse Power in the bodies of beasts and Demon Creature. He himself controls this power, so he was not affected.
"The Pasha you speak of, if it's the Forest Gnome who left a few years ago, is currently living well in our human Empire."
"After all, races like yours are quite rare. Currently, the most famous figure in the Empire is an Ogre known as the 'Martial King,' who is quite popular."
Tang Zheng said with a smile, half-truthfully.
Duo Gan was silent for a moment, then let out a heavy sigh, raised his arm to wipe his eyes, and muttered in a hoarse voice, "It's good that he's alive, it's good that he's alive."
"Can you tell me what happened?"
Tang Zheng asked, seeing that the other party's emotions had stabilized again, "A friend of mine is also suffering from a curse like you. I want to understand this matter, perhaps I can find a way to solve this curse."
Duo Gan raised his head, a look of astonishment faintly appearing on his hairy cheeks.
"Even you, who wields this power, can't solve it?"
Duo Gan's green pupils dilated.
Tang Zheng shook his head, "I'm sorry, I haven't fully understood this power myself."
"By the way, should I send you back to your tribe first?"
He felt that the mental state of this Forest Gnome, Duo Gan, was still somewhat problematic. It would be best if he could go to the other party's tribe and communicate with the other Forest Gnomes.
"The tribe... the tribe is destroyed."
"They're all dead."
Duo Gan's shoulders couldn't help but tremble, his hoarse voice filled with deep regret and despair, muttering, "I am a sinful person."
Before Tang Zheng could speak.
Duo Gan suddenly raised his head, his green pupils staring fixedly at Tang Zheng: "It's the Abyss!"
"There's a problem in the Abyss!"
Then, Duo Gan got up and knelt in front of Tang Zheng: "Take me to the Abyss, only adults who wield the Curse Power can approach that kind of place!"
"Okay." Tang Zheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
...
The next day.
The sky was just beginning to brighten.
Tang Zheng and Duo Gan had already set off, heading towards the deepest part of the jungle.
The "Abyss" mentioned by the other party was not the legendary kind of place, but a bottomless Canyon located in the depths of the forest at the border of this mountain range.
This place had always been called the "Abyss" by the people of the Forest Gnome tribe.
Duo Gan didn't go into detail about the complete course of events.
However, Tang Zheng was able to roughly sort out the context through the information he obtained indirectly.
The time this matter traced back to was even longer than the time Renners obtained the Curse Power.
A long time ago, Duo Gan's tribe began to deal with poisonous Demon Creatures that occasionally crawled out of the Canyon Abyss, with black corrosion on their bodies and toxins in their bodies.
Their tribe would kill these Demon Creatures and burn them, but there weren't too many of these Demon Creatures.
However, a few years ago, an accident occurred, which seemed to involve the Magic ritual passed down by the tribe mentioned by Duo Gan.
...
Rustle.
The branches and leaves in the forest swayed, and the leaves collided, making soft noises.
The two quickly traversed the forest. Tang Zheng had the "Forest Traversal" Magic Item, and Duo Gan, as a Forest Gnome, was also good at moving in the jungle.
Along the way.
Whether it was because of Duo Gan or not, no Demon Creatures attacked them. Even so, it still took them most of the day to reach the edge of the deepest part of the forest.
The deep Canyon was like it had been cut out with a knife.
The front was still a dense jungle, but as soon as they took a step, there was a bottomless Canyon under their feet, as if the forest had been cut in half and a piece had disappeared.
