Chapter 184: The Descending Rope
Chapter 184: The Descending Rope
"Curse?" Yang Xining frowned.
"Yes, a long, long time ago, our Vi tribe was inexplicably accused of being traitors and was cursed by the Queen at the time, so that we could never get rid of the form of snakes. We could only survive in the dark for the rest of our lives and could not cultivate to achieve enlightenment."
"The curse can only be lifted if I can obtain forgiveness and blessings from the queen's descendants. I am looking for you for this purpose."
Yang Xining took a deep breath. This information was too shocking to digest for a while.
She wasn't even sure of her own identity.
She asked, "What evidence do you have for what you said? Also, didn't you say that you were cursed and couldn't get rid of the snake form, but now you are standing here in human form and talking to me."
He said slowly, "You don't know, as time goes by, our strength gradually weakens, and the number of people in our tribe is also decreasing. Only Snake Princess and I are left."
"Until one day, a mysterious man came and told us that in two days, someone would come to the village to help us remove the curse. So, when I saw you, I was sure that the person he was talking about was you."
"Mysterious man?" Yang Xining murmured.
"Yes, that person was wearing half a mask and had a black mole on his chin."
Half a mask... a mole on the chin...
Yang Xining remembered that Yang Sanfan had also mentioned this person when they were in Yangtou Village.
Yang Xining's mind was a little confused. She felt that there was an invisible network behind her and a huge conspiracy was underway.
Looking at Leng Cangqiong, Yang Xining said coldly: "Since you didn't harm anyone, untie the villagers' control and restore their memories. The farther away from here, the better."
Leng Cangqiong looked dazed when he heard this. He raised his eyes to look at Yang Xining, and there was still a hint of unwillingness in his tone: "Brother Ning, can I take you to a place? That person said that as long as you go to that place, you will change your mind."
Yang Xining was about to refuse.
"Woman, just agree to him."
A cold and deep voice suddenly sounded in her mind.
It's like ice freezing to the bone, making people shudder.
She was very familiar with this voice; it was Satan, who had not communicated with her for a long time.
"I can sense that the fragments of the Sea Spirit Pearl are nearby."
Yang Xining was shocked when he heard this. There were actually fragments of Sea Spirit Pearls here?
At this moment, Uncle Fu's voice rang out from outside the door: "Fu Qi, who are you talking to? It's so late, why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Yang Xining was shocked. She couldn't let Uncle Fu know these secrets and implicate Uncle Fu.
She quickly put away the dagger and sorted out her emotions. Then she turned to look at Leng Cangqiong with vigilance in her eyes: "I will come to find you tomorrow, and you'd better not play any tricks, otherwise I won't let you go."
Leng Cangqiong smiled bitterly: "Brother Ning, don't worry, my life is in your hands now, how dare I play tricks? I only hope to get your forgiveness and blessing, and lift the curse of our Vi clan."
……
The scene changes, and Erdos finally finds Dias in a swamp.
He was seen lying in the cold mud, his face pale, his breath dying, and he was obviously in an extremely weak condition.
There was a hint of complicated emotions in Erdos' eyes.
After being stunned for a few seconds, he stretched out his hand and was about to help Dias up.
A gloomy and powerful voice sounded behind him: "Young Master, hand him over to me."
This sudden call made Erdos involuntarily stop what he was doing.
He turned around quickly and examined the visitor with sharp eyes.
"Are you following me?"
I saw a mysterious figure in a black robe standing quietly not far away.
The upper half of his face is hidden in a thick layer of fog, making it impossible to see his true appearance.
There is a very obvious black mole on the chin of the exposed lower half of the face.
The mysterious man did not answer directly, but said slowly: "This was arranged by Monica, young master. I must take this person away."
After saying this, he suddenly appeared in front of Erdos and carried Dias' tall body on his shoulders.
Seeing this, Erdos frowned and stretched out his hand to stop him: "Wait, where are you taking him?"
"This is not something you should ask, young master. Don't forget your mission, young master."
When Erdos heard this, he slowly put down his hand.
Finally, I watched him disappear with Dias.
……
Dias slowly opened his eyes, and the scene in front of him gradually became clear.
With the faint light of the fire, he found himself in a dim cell. The surrounding stone walls revealed all kinds of twisted and hideous animal carvings, cold and hard.
There were constant roars of beasts and occasional vibrations from the ground in the distance.
His intuition told him that this was definitely not the mortal world.
He just wanted to move, but found that his whole body was tightly bound by cold chains.
The rope to descend the gods!
"Are you awake?" A warm voice suddenly broke the cold atmosphere.
Dias looked up and saw that there was a middle-aged man sitting next to him.
The middle-aged man's face was weathered and pale, as if it had been ruthlessly carved by the years. He had a white beard and looked quite downcast.
"You... cough cough!" Dias started coughing violently as soon as he uttered a word.
He was about to ask who the other person was, but found that his voice was extremely hoarse, as if it had been worn out by wind and sand.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man hurriedly picked up a bucket of water from his side and carefully fed Dias to drink.
The water moistened Dias's dry throat, giving him a little relief.
"Take a break," the middle-aged man said softly, "I just woke up today and found your presence. I was shocked."
Dias nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
His eyes moved slowly around the cell.
Apart from the cold stone walls and rusty iron railings, there were only piles of objects in the corner, emitting a disgusting stench.
The middle-aged man seemed to see through Dias's thoughts and a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face.
He was embarrassed to explain: "That, that is my excrement. I have been imprisoned here for nearly a year."
Almost a year?
Dias was shocked. He couldn't imagine how a person could survive in such a harsh environment for so long.
"You must be curious about how I survived." The middle-aged man seemed to see through Dias's thoughts. He looked up and pointed to the hole on the top of the cell.
"Look, there's a hole up there, and someone throws food down there every three days."
Dias looked in the direction the middle-aged man pointed and saw that there was indeed a small hole on the top of the cell.
The middle-aged man continued to sigh, "I think we are locked in a cellar. No, looking at the animal patterns on the walls, we are most likely locked in a tomb."
Physical fatigue and weakness made Dias unable to respond to his words.
"But don't worry. It looks like the people who have imprisoned us won't let us die. Sooner or later we will get out. I have been living on this belief."
The unyielding light in the middle-aged man's eyes made Dias involuntarily think of Yang Xining.
Is Xining ok?
And Adilide...did he find Xining...
Dias couldn't help but start to worry about Yang Xining's safety.
