Chapter 2407 Mysterious Curse

After killing the snake-shaped vine, Holden told Joan about another strange thing in his letter.

"After the battle, for some reason, I felt extremely tired, I couldn't lift my strength, and my legs were as heavy as lead."

"Uncle Pinkerton, Sister Cai Mi, Carl and Dolly also have similar symptoms. A non-intense battle seems to have exhausted our energy, which is obviously very wrong."

"Turn on the 'Inner Vision' to check my status. I was surprised to find that I was cursed at some point. The three physical attributes of strength, agility and constitution were weakened by 4 points each. No wonder I felt uncomfortable."

"Except for my sister, who is as strong as a cow and is protected by God's grace, she is still vigorous. There is nothing wrong with it. The rest of the team has also been cursed like me and is very weak."

"I cast a spell to remove the curse for myself, but it didn't work at all!"

"Fortunately, my sister carried the potion of 'restoration technique' with her. After everyone took the medicine, their physical attributes finally returned to normal."

"It's unclear whether this weird curse came from the snake-like vine we killed, or whether it was an inherent effect in the green sea."

"If it's the latter case, the problem will be serious. If we wake up tomorrow, we will fall into a cursed state again."

"Joan, of course you also know that resetting any physical attribute to zero will cause fatal consequences. There is not much 'restoration' potion left. In order to guard against the worst possibility, my sister decided to put her 3-ring god The surgery slots are all used to prepare for the 'restoration'."

"As for whether these magic spells will come in handy, we will see tomorrow. I hope it's just a false alarm!"

After sending this letter, Holden and his party camped in the forest, and continued to explore the depths of the Green Sea tomorrow morning.

As usual, Qiao An wrote back to remind everyone to be more careful, and specially made 6 bottles of mythical potions, stuffed them into the "Green Ice Secret Storage Box", and planned to transfer them to the expedition team through the "spirit world" in case of emergency.

However, after Holden recited the mantra, he was unable to call out the Qingbing Secret Chest as before.

The occurrence of this situation means that the transmission channel across the spirit world has also been blocked by the mysterious barrier in the green sea of ​​Grizzly Town.

From now on, Joan can no longer provide much-needed supplies to friends far away.

This unexpected bad news put another heavy stone on his heart.

...

On the evening of August 3, Joann received another letter from Holden from "Green Sea" in Grizzly Town.

This letter confirmed Audrey's foresight, and it was really necessary to prepare the "restoration technique" in advance.

"When I woke up this morning, I felt pretty good, and none of my companions showed symptoms of being cursed."

"Based on this, we believe that the curse will only be triggered when the outsider enters the green sea for the first time. After this wave, it will be fine, so we rest assured, leave the camp after breakfast, and continue to explore the depths of the jungle .”

"Today's luck was not bad, and there was no threat during the journey. Until noon, when camping, in a hidden corner of the forest, the astute Karl found a well covered by dense bushes, and five strange plants grew around the well head. mushroom."

"These mushrooms are more than five feet tall, and they have a vaguely human shape in appearance. The protruding stipe looks like hands and feet, similar to the 'fungus' people we have seen in the Underdark, but they have no mobility, just like ordinary fungi. Rooted in the soil, it stands quietly around the wellhead, and the arm-shaped stalk of one of the mushrooms wraps around the crank handle of the wellhead axle, as if trying to draw water from the well.”

"The weird posture of the human-shaped mushrooms is really not natural. We have reason to suspect that these large mushrooms were once living people who lived nearby, and they finally transformed into their current fungal forms after being cursed."

"The scene in front of us reminds us that after being cursed yesterday, in addition to feeling exhausted, it was also accompanied by a strong sense of thirst. If there was a well nearby at that time, I would definitely drag my tired body to fetch water."

"Miss Money Wields her sword to clean up the vines attached to the edge of the well, bribes Dolly with a piece of chocolate candy, and persuades this silly bird to fly into the well to see if there are any new clues."

"Not long after, Dolly returned safely and told us that there was a moss-covered wooden barrel hanging in the well, and a swollen corpse floating on the water, which shocked her!"

"We took a lot of thought and managed to salvage the floating corpse that Dolly mentioned, put it on the flat ground for observation, and found that the extremities of the hands and feet of the corpse had been lignified, and part of the skin had become rough and covered with longitudinally extending wooden textures. The texture resembles a twig."

"How do we explain the strange symptoms that befell this unfortunate drowned man?"

"After discussion, the four of us agreed that the woody features of the drowned man, like those of his companions who eventually turned into mushrooms, were also symptoms of the green sea curse."

"As the young lady of the Asa tribe we met yesterday morning said, the residents in the Green Sea have been cursed and eventually transformed into plants or fungi. As for why some people become mushrooms and others become shrubs? It is not clear yet Well, maybe it's just a random result."

"The lignified features of the drowned man in front of us indicate that the curse has taken effect, but it takes a process to completely turn a living person into a plant. Before the transformation is complete, this person accidentally slipped down the mouth of the well and drowned."

"The moment the cursed person dies, the curse also ends, and the dead person remains in a half-human, half-plant state."

"Those victims who are completely transformed into plants or fungi can no longer see the characteristics of their clothing before birth. This floating corpse provides us with valuable identity information. Judging from the blue military uniform he wears, it should be a follower. Arnold's Lancers who entered the Green Sea may find the magic crystal rifle that was lost during his lifetime in the well water."

"From this point of view, the four humanoid mushrooms around the wellhead are probably also members of Arnold's team. This is really sad and bad news."

"My sister tried to cure the unlucky man who turned into a mushroom, but she tried all the magic spells, but she still couldn't restore the cursed man to its original state."

"Since 'Remove Curse', 'Break Barrier' and 'Restoration' are all invalid, we can only count on 'Advanced Restoration', 'Limited Wish', 'Wish' and 'Miracle' , Unfortunately, none of us have the ability to cast such high-level spells, so we can only leave a mark on the mouth of the well and try to find a way to save people in the future."

"After leaving the well, we continued to explore the mysteries deep in the Green Sea. On the way, we were fortunate that we were lucky enough to lift the curse in time and not become unconscious trees and mushrooms."
