Chapter 149 The Curse of the Deadwood

midnight.

Lei Luo lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

The appearance of Death Hourglass Sizern made Lei Luo truly realize that even hiding in the academy is not truly safe!

"Only with sufficient strength can you achieve true safety! Otherwise, even if you are hiding in the academy, I will be in the open, and the enemy will be in the dark, waiting for opportunities, and it will be even more dangerous."

The moonlight shines through the window and onto the floor of the room.

Lei Luo turned over.

"Furthermore, my starry sky scholarship has reached a bottleneck, and I must enter a new stage of learning through traveling, moon crystal, obsidian, star crystal, and... Gulan ruins."

Now even if Lei Luo had money, he couldn't find a way to buy magic materials like moonstone, obsidian, and star crystal.

Because this level of magic material usually only appears occasionally in high-end auctions, it is impossible for ordinary magic material trading shops to sell it.

Thinking of this, Lei Luo took out Prince Chen's recommendation letter again and read it again under the moonlight.

"The Principality of Seymour, the Gu Yue family, a family of free scholars who explore the ancient ruins, the ultimate goal is to establish the Academy of Natural Sciences of the Principality of Seymour, and start exploring the world of Magic Eye on May 15th every year..."

At this moment!

Lei Luo suddenly felt a chill in the room, accompanied by an inexplicable uneasiness.

Frowning slightly.

He thought it was because the window was open and some wind was letting in. However, when Lei Luo turned his head and looked, he saw that the window was closed properly.

Crunch.

A sudden and strange sound came from under the bed.

Lei Luo felt goosebumps instantly spread all over his body. This weird feeling was as if there was a pair of eyes in the dark, silently watching him.

"mouse?"

Lei Luo instantly rejected this conjecture.

Not to mention Gahei, there are swarms of owl guardians in the academy, and there is no room for mice to survive.

At the Grantham Academy of Natural Sciences, after the mice escaped from the laboratory, they truly entered the hell-level survival mode.

Crunch, crunch, crunch.

In the silent room, the strange sounds became more frequent and clearer.

Driven by strong curiosity, fear is the source of power for scholars to desire knowledge. Lei Luo got out of bed and looked under the dark bed.

"This is?"

On the wooden floor under the bed, a dark wooden figure was slowly emerging from the wooden floor. With a pair of red eyes, he suddenly turned his head to look at Lei Luo.

After realizing that Lei Luo was looking at him, the little wooden man slowly opened his mouth, revealing his strong teeth.

Although the image was extremely terrifying, because this little wooden man was only a dozen centimeters tall, Lei Luo not only did not feel scary, but instead felt a little curious.

What is this?

Specimens that came out of the mentor's lab?

Just when Lei Luo was about to reach out to grab this little thing, the little wooden man hid at the edge of the bed at an astonishing speed, casually drew a circle on the wooden floor, forming a dark hole, and got into it.

When it reappeared, it was in front of the mirror in the other corner of the room.

"Um?"

huh huh huh huh!

Weird old laughter, Lei Luo's body stiffened.

"Who are you?"

"Little guy, I have been here for more than a month to collect your cursed media. I finally collected 99 media. You can be proud of it and die with peace of mind."

As he spoke, the little wooden man actually got into the mirror.

At the same time, Lei Luo in the mirror was changing into a rotten wood sculpture at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Lei Luo's hair stood on end, and then he realized something terrible.

There are many strange things about cursed media.

It can be the clothes, hair, and blood of the subject, or it can be the belongings of blood relatives. Even the soil that the subject has walked on, the words written by the subject, and the food leftovers eaten can all be used as the medium of the curse. , this is simply unavoidable.

With almost no hesitation, Lei Luo turned around and fled out of the house.

"tutor!"

Lei Luo shouted.

However, while running down the corridor, Lei Luo gradually lost consciousness starting from his hands and feet. He fell to the ground with a "bang". When he stretched out his hand, he saw that his hands were gradually turning into dry and rotten wood carvings, which continued to spread towards his body. .

My heart is cold.

Lei Luo could clearly feel the similar terrifying power of the half-human, half-pig body, permeating his body.

Although it is not as noble as the silver mysterious power in the half-human, half-pig body, its number is even more astonishing. Through an unknown method that it cannot understand, it changes the shape of its cell magnetic field into the physical properties of rotten wood, thus causing its life form to collapse. .

"ah……"

Breathing became increasingly difficult, and there were even traces of rotten wood on his face.

Just when Lei Lu felt that he was dying and was about to consume the last trace of the moon, he suddenly thought of something and let out a low roar.

"Demonization!"

Suddenly, astonishing black smoke filled the air from Lei Luo's body.

A dozen translucent resentful spirits had distorted faces and screamed one after another. After integrating into Lei Luo's body, they turned into a layer of bones on the body. They wanted to replace the dead wood, but the two were in a stalemate.

The curse's true form is also a curse!

It's just that this curse was created by a wizard in order to activate a deformed vicious cycle and develop war weapons, rather than a fatal curse.

Both curses at the moment.

One wants to turn Lei Luo into a dead wood and die, while the other wants to transform Lei Luo into a deformed and vicious circle of battle weapon form, and they are in a stalemate.

"Meow, what happened?"

Gahei arrived first, looking at Lei Luo's strange state at this moment, and asked in surprise.

Boom, boom, boom.

Gu Bo and Lianyi, who were both dressed in pajamas, also ran downstairs one after another. When Gu Bo saw Lei Luo's appearance at this moment, he suddenly let out a low roar, and an astonishing black smoke suddenly appeared in his hand, forming a protective shield around Lei Luo and the outside world. Isolated.

"It's a curse! The caster should be nearby, search for the source of the curse immediately!"

Gahei and Lianyi immediately ran outside.

After a while, dense "coo-coo" sounds came from the sky, and more than a hundred Owl Academy guardians flew away in groups.

…

A high-end accommodation area, in a secret cabin.

The old man who looked like a dead tree had his brows furrowed and looked puzzled.

"It feels strange. The target seems to have suffered another curse at the same time, so that it has some kind of interference with my curse?"

Casting a curse is far from simple as ordinary people imagine.

First, you must collect media items, which are the basis for casting curses.

Secondly, it must be within a certain distance from the operator, and some high-level magical materials must be sacrificed as a sacrifice.

At least for scholars, this is a variation of the combination of soul scholarship and natural law scholarship. For the goddess of wisdom, it seems to be some kind of theological category that has developed to the other extreme.

Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu...

Groups of Owl Academy guardians began to search room after room.

The old man sighed.

He could feel that his curse, after being offset by another curse, was blocked by a powerful energy field.

This mission basically failed.

As for letting him stay for another month and slowly collect the target's media, it is simply impossible.

For a mere enlightenment student, letting him stay for a month in vain was already the limit of his endurance. As far as he knew, even Prince Di who hired him was not only prepared by himself, but because the method was not concealed enough, He was very willing to pay a certain price to kill the target, so he didn't take action for a long time.

"never mind."

The old man shook his head, and his body turned into rotten wood at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into another human sculpture.

This turned out to be a remotely controlled sculpture.

Obviously, the old man's caution prevented him from entering the Gran Academy of Natural Sciences in person.

…

"Ahem, mentor, I have suffered some unknown curse."

Lei Luo gasped.

At that moment, the power of the curse was almost engulfing him, and he was about to consume the last trace of the moon. Fortunately, at the critical moment, he discovered the true body of the curse's resistance to the curse.

At this moment, as the power of the curse of the rotten wood was gradually disappearing, Lei Luo was finally able to take a breather and replaced it with the cursed true body, which corrupted the rotten wood and gradually transformed into a two-meter-tall demonized form covered with ferocious bone spurs.

Each bone spur has a barbed thorn on its tip, and black smoke rises from the thorn tip.

Weird and evil.

Gubo's face was extremely ugly. Not only was the Grand Academy of Natural Sciences unsafe, but his own laboratory was also unsafe.

"I'm going to apply to the academy to let you enter the Royal Academy of Sciences for a while."

Lei Luo took a deep breath, but slowly shook his head.

Slowly lifted his cursed true body state.

"Forget it, mentor."

In Gu Bo's surprised look, Lei Luo said: "Hiding like this all the time is not an option. Moreover, my academic progress has reached its limit during this period, and I must go out for some travel."

After thinking about it, Lei Luo added: "Maybe it will take a little longer."

"Longer time? Is there a suitable place to travel? During the travel outside, if you are discovered by people from Zealandia, you will be in more danger!"

Gubo said worriedly.

Lei Luo looked thoughtful.

"There is a place we must go to. The Gu Yue family of the Principality of Seymour is said to be a family of free scholars who specializes in exploring the ruins of Gulan. I haven't thought about what to do next. In short, I will try to stay away from the Principality of Seyland. I plan to deal with it tomorrow. After finishing the last things, leave the academy as soon as possible."

Lei Luo realized the crisis.

Those Sealand princes are about to lose their patience no matter the cost.

"Gu Yue family, the magic eye flourishes on May 15th every year?"

Lei Luo was a little surprised that Gu Bo actually knew about this family of liberal scholars in the Principality of Seymour.

"Hmph, what's so strange about this? Do you think this family is just an ordinary family of free scholars? Its power is beyond your imagination. The Academy of Sciences has a deep cooperative relationship with it!"

He seemed to be caught up in a certain memory. After a while, Gu Bo slowly said: "If the Magic Eye is prosperous, it is indeed worth your while to participate. Maybe you will get some unexpected gains, but the price of entering the Magic Eye world is not small..."

"Prince Chen took care of it for me after all."

Lei Luo mentioned Prince Chen again. Gu Bo frowned slightly but didn't say much.
