The next day, the first ray of sunlight in the morning shone into the forest.

The bonfire has been extinguished, and green smoke is curling up from the burned ashes. The breeze blows, and the red light can still be seen on the charred firewood.

Juta opened her eyes. She had been on alert for the past few days and had rarely slept soundly. She did not disturb Su Lun who was meditating beside her, and silently packed away the animal skin mat for sleeping.

Not long after, the crisp chirping of birds broke the silence, and Su Lun slowly opened his eyes from meditation.

After digesting it for a night, he had almost figured out the effects of the new reproductive equipment.

"woke up?"

Jutta glanced at him with a smile, then took out a few cooked cassava from the campfire with a wooden stick.

"Um."

Su Lun nodded and cleaned his mouth.

I picked up the roasted cassava again and ate it with relish.

Cassava does not need residual heat to test the heat, so Yuta completely covered the fire with soil. You must be very careful when using fire in the forest. The Daru people will not cause trouble to the forest. She touched the soil and said:

"It's not far from here to the 'Cursed Valley'. Continuing north from here, there is a pass. Last time our tribe came here, they encountered many strange creatures. We have to be careful..."

"Um."

Su Lun nodded as he listened.

He originally didn't want Yuta to take the risk, but Yuta didn't hesitate.

She said that the ancestors of the tribe would take risks for the continuation of the tribe, and she could naturally do the same. Now that the tribe has reached its most critical moment, she plans to do something.

Su Lun had nothing to say.

The Daru people have their own beliefs, and the Yuta people have their own beliefs.

She is brave, persistent, kind, and sometimes silly. Just like once at sea, she knew she might die, but she would still come back to help.

Su Lun also thought it was pretty good.

The two packed up the temporary camp and set off again.

.......

The entrance to the Cursed Ancient is about twenty kilometers north of the Skull Crypt.

Because they walked very carefully, Su Lun and the two walked for half a day before they reached a cliff pass.

A large crack seemed to suddenly open in the ground, extending farther and farther to the north, getting wider and wider.

Standing at the pass, the view is very limited, and I can only vaguely see some vague mountain shadows in the distance.

The pass is very windy, and there are eagles' nests on the cliffs on both sides of the canyon. You can hear the high-pitched chirping of eagles.

Jutta pointed to the mist-filled canyon ahead and said solemnly: "Ahead is the Cursed Valley. The message left by the ancestors of the tribe said that this fog can make people irritable and Warcraft monsters will also be affected, so the monsters here are all

It’s very brutal. The deeper you go, the more dangerous it becomes.”

"Um."

Su Lun looked at the fog in front of him and appraised it.

【Necromantic Mist】

Detailed explanation: The mist mixed with the negative emotions of the deceased contains trace amounts of toxins and a strong aura of the dead; breathing for a long time can cause mental confusion, mania, hallucinations, coma... and other negative states;

"The breath of death?"

Su Lun looked at the mist and guessed that the ruins might be some undead plane?

The fog was thin and not considered dangerous, so he gave Juta a gas mask and put on a raven's beak mask himself.

Thinking of being on the safe side, he also channeled the death bird.

The black crow liked such a canyon with a strong aura of death, so he flew down.

After waiting for a while, Black Crow found no danger in his field of vision.

Su Lun and the two of them followed the cliff and climbed down.

After reading this, he immediately understood why it was called "The Valley of Curses".

The wind howled and roared in the valley, echoing in the ears. The sound sounded like someone was cursing in the ears, which made people feel inexplicably irritated. But I wanted to listen carefully, but I couldn't hear clearly what I was saying.

Juta's natural power was obviously very uncomfortable being exposed to this kind of death aura.

"Whispers of the Dead?"

Su Lun frowned slightly as he listened.

His mental power was very sensitive, and he immediately realized that this was not just the sound of wind, but the whisper of the dead.

In fact, this sound is not heard by the ears, but is affected by mental power.

"Is it because of the original war that the souls of the dead are still alive? Or is it because of the ruins?"

Su Lun guessed two possibilities in his mind, but he hadn't gone into it yet and couldn't confirm it.

Thinking about it, he opened the black umbrella and covered himself and Juta beside him.

The human skin black umbrella can absorb necromantic substances. Holding the umbrella is like opening a barrier, immediately isolating the two people from the sound.

Juta's expression on the side instantly improved a lot.

.......

The canyon was formed by an earthquake hundreds of years ago, so a primitive jungle has grown under the canyon.

However, the trees here are generally gray-black, both leaves and trunks, giving people a lifeless feeling.

The fog will limit the perception of most normal people, but Su Lun's soul perception is not restricted at all. Even necromancy monsters have some thin "soul bodies". What's more, there are black crows in front of them who can open their sights, so they can

Avoid finding creatures.

The two of them gradually went deeper into the canyon, and the fog became thicker and thinner.

We walked a long way without encountering any danger.

However, this cursed valley once caused heavy losses to the Daru tribe's exploration team, so it must not be that simple.

No matter how careful Su Lun was, they still strayed into the territory of a [Human-Faced Rotting Flower] monster.

To be precise, the tentacles of that monster are buried underground and extend for miles, blocking prey in the canyon like fishing nets. If you want to pass through, you can't avoid it.

Those roots had no souls. Su Lun and the two stepped into them and immediately came to life, wrapping them tightly.

Fortunately, Su Lun found that there were no normal creatures around, so he took precautions in advance. The monster itself only had the "weird" strength of level three silver.

[Phosphorus Fire Doll] burns a large area violently, and the tentacles can't be avoided, so killing it is not a big problem.

However, Su Lun also discovered that the environment here was very similar to that of Old Linton.

That [Human Face Rotten Flower] has flesh and blood, and has the characteristics of animals and plants.

This is not a normal creature, nor is it an alien creature.

To use the description of Old Rington's monster system, this is a deformed monster.

Those are native species that have become deformed because they cannot withstand the pollution of the undead air.

After encountering a small accident, Su Lun and the two became more and more careful. They encountered several monsters with strong auras and avoided them.

Because they were not walking fast, their progress was very slow. It got dark very early in the canyon, so the two of them did not choose to take the risk of walking at night and found a cave to spend the night.

After the sun shone out of the canyon, they continued on their way.

At noon, they discovered traces of the ruins.

.......

The last time the Daru people came to curse the valley was decades ago. There are no roads in the jungle and there are no routes to speak of.

The only thing that can be distinguished is a few big landmarks, such as "Bitter Winter Spring", "Dog Head Rock", "Red Pine Forest"...

Although Su Lun's perception is very strong, in the jungle, Yuta's observation ability far exceeds his.

When the two of them came to a forest area that was scorched like a lightning strike, Juta suddenly exclaimed: "Mr. Sullen, look over there!"

Su Lun walked over and took a closer look, and then realized that the inconspicuous stone was an artificially carved stone pillar.

Because it was so long ago, the stone pillars were covered with green moss.

Su Lun was also happy. Seeing the stone pillars meant that they were very close to the ruins.

He identified the lines on the stone pillar and said in an uncertain tone: "This seems to be the worship totem of the giant tribe. According to myths and legends, the giant tribe worships the earth, so totems often have patterns of mountains."

Yuta also nodded in approval, "Yes! The elders in the clan also said so."

Su Lun identified them by himself and found some other buildings in the soil layer.

It's so big that it looks like a collapsed temple.

The two of them didn't stay long and continued walking forward.

Not long after, they were blocked by a broken wall.

Even if it collapsed, it was still a jaw-dropping miracle building.
To be continued...
