Chapter 2283 Curse
Distracting your attention is the best choice to kill boring time and ignore physical fatigue.
After chatting all the way, I didn't feel that I had expended much energy, and I had already arrived at my destination.
What he saw before him was an oval-shaped mountain several meters high. The mountain was covered with a thin layer of snow, and under the snow was a layer of frozen hard earth.
I exchanged glances with Kailan, and we confirmed our idea tacitly - this mountain is most likely the research base of the Wandering Gunner.
I didn't pick up the folding spade in my luggage. Instead, I turned to Bai Jingyu and asked, "Mr. Bai, I want to ask you something."
Bai Jingyu nodded: "Ask."
"Have you ever heard any rumors about this mountain since you have lived here for so long?"
"Well, it really does exist." He twirled his beard and said slowly, "This hill is called an ominous place by the people in the village."
"Hoar?" After hearing this, I couldn't help laughing: "Why did you say it in an ominous place?"
"Actually, this is also a superstition passed down from the ancestors of the villagers. It is said that any vegetation planted on this mountain will wither within a few months. There are also legends that there is a metal mine hidden under this mountain. Every mine vein has been cursed, and anyone who dares to touch it will be infected by the curse, and will die violently and in an extremely ugly manner soon."
"Haha" I couldn't help but chuckle: "Why should we take such rural talk seriously? If the curse really exists, it can still be contagious. I'm afraid the entire continent will be devastated."
Bai Jingyu also laughed, disapprovingly.
"Mr. Bai" I called Bai Jingyu, raised my arm at the same time, pointed at the mountain, and said: "To be honest, sir, the destination of my trip is exactly that mountain. I am here. Thank you sir for leading the way." "
"You're welcome." Bai Jingyu cupped his hands and said, "Then I won't disturb you in your mission."
As he spoke, he pointed to the distance and said, "I'll be waiting there. If necessary, just call me at any time."
After saying that, he put his hands behind his back and walked slowly towards a big tree more than ten meters away. Under the tree, there was a huge stone, which was just right to block the wind and snow.
Taking out the folding shovel, Kailan and I each took one and walked towards the mountain.
I was shoveling snow in full swing when suddenly a loud shout came: "Stop!"
"Huh?" I raised my head and looked at Kailan: "Did you hear anything?"
Kailan nodded: "Someone seems to be shouting about something, what's the matter?"
"Oh, it's nothing." I waved my hands nonchalantly and said, "Let's continue."
"Didn't I tell you to stop? Did you not hear it on purpose? Or are you deaf?"
Now, I was sure that the target of the sound was me and Kailan.
He stopped and turned his head to look around, and saw hundreds of people holding bricks, shovels, pickaxes, and a few adventurers holding decent weapons and looking like they were the only ones in the world. Home is also mixed in.
The leader was the old man on crutches.
The young man who was supporting the old man, oh, the old man's grandson, as soon as he showed up, stared straight at Kailan with his squinting eyes. At this moment, the pervert nature revealed in his eyes was even more unscrupulous.
"Hey, isn't this the village chief?" I pretended to be enthusiastic and said with a smile, "Are you going to mobilize everyone in the village to help?"
"Help you? Still helping you? Do you know that you are going to kill everyone!" The village chief was so angry that his crutch hit the ground repeatedly: "The hill under your feet is a cursed place. Once it is dug up, the curse will spread and the entire village will be destroyed!"
I inserted the folding shovel into the soil, touched my temples, and wiped away the beads of sweat that had condensed into frost on my temples: "Is it that serious?"
"What do you, an outsider, know?" the village chief shouted, "Why don't you get down quickly! Do you want to die too?"
"Village Chief, please be patient for a moment. You see, I have been digging for so long, but I am not dead. This shows that most of the rumors about the curse are false."
"You are slandering the wisdom of your ancestors!" The village chief used his crutch to dig into the ground several times: "You will be punished!"
Seeing that he was stubborn, most of the villagers were ignorant, and the adventurers were watching the fun with their arms folded, I was a little helpless, so I looked at Bai Jingyu who was still hiding under the stone to avoid the cold, and shouted: "Mr. Bai, it's time to You came on the scene and came to my rescue."
Bai Jingyu originally wanted to hide away and avoid trouble, but he was unexpectedly dragged in by my words. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and stagger over. When he came to the village chief, he cleared his throat first and then said meaningfully: "Everyone, listen. I advise you to go back. The affairs here are beyond your control. The two above were sent by His Majesty as special envoys, with the power of life and death."
As soon as they heard about the power of life and death, fear gradually appeared in the eyes of many people and they started to retreat. However, the adventurers still showed expressions of watching the show and sneered in silence. Several of them, like the young people, even asked Kailan. Cast a malicious look.
Kailan was a little embarrassed by the look, and whispered to me: "Xiao Yi, I want to draw my gun."
"Why are you so anxious? Haven't you started taking action yet?"
"No," Kailan said with a frown, "I just want to shoot out the eyes of the guys below who are staring at me."
"Oh, didn't I tell you? It's because you -"
"Because I'm pretty, right? I've heard this once before, and I tried to endure it, but I couldn't help it. I just wanted to shoot their eyes out like fish bubbles with a gun."
"Okay, okay, you hide behind me first, and when the fight starts, you can cum as hard as you can until everyone's eyes are blown out."
"It sounds like I'm murderous," Kailan muttered dissatisfied.
Under the hill, Bai Jingyu was still trying to persuade the villagers, but unexpectedly, the young man who was supporting the village chief suddenly got angry, kicked Bai Jingyu in the stomach, and cursed loudly: "You damn old man, you have been doing this every day since you came to the village. I keep going on and on, eight out of ten rules in the village have been abandoned because of you. They are all wisdom passed down from generation to generation by our ancestors. How come they have become useless and harmful customs in your mouth! Bah! All this time, young master, I have been tolerating you and giving in to you, all for the sake of my grandfather. Now you want to team up with outsiders to harm the village. Do you really think that the young master is a fool? You can rub it as hard as you want, but it won’t work!”
At first glance, Bai Jingyu was not an adventurer, but just an ordinary old man. He was kicked several meters away by the young man, and he almost thought he was dead.
On the side, the village chief showed unbearable expression when he saw this, but he did not scold the young man. Presumably, in his heart, he regarded Bai Jingyu as a bastard who cheated on others.
