Chapter 624 Hunger Curse

"Emerald City?" Enzo muttered to himself.

After Bourne joined the Campbell family, he became the ruler of Emerald City and built a mechanical tower in the center of the city. Relying on the resources provided by the Campbell family, he rushed towards the second-level wizard realm.

However, with Bourne's talent, the possibility of promotion to the second level is very small.

In particular, he has also undergone a lot of mechanical transformations, and his body's ability to carry magic power is even worse than some third-level apprentices. If there are no special opportunities, he may not be able to be promoted to the second level in this life.

On the spot, Enzo's mind moved.

Thirty thousand phantom crows have already scattered to various parts of the Abyss Forbidden Zone. Every pair of eyes provides Enzo with a picture. Then, using the analysis function of the chip, the map of the entire Abyss Forbidden Zone soon appears in Enzo's mind.

At the same time, he also got the direction of Emerald City.

"I hope you are still alive."

Enzo sighed in his heart. The reason why he went to the Abyss Forbidden Zone was because of Bourne, but this place was already shrouded in the breath of the abyss. Bourne, who was only a first-level wizard, might not be 100% alive.

The next moment, Enzo disappeared on the spot.

Using the power of the rules of the wizard world, space no longer has too much restraint for him, and short-distance transmission consumes only magic power. Enzo plans to go to Emerald City to find Bourne first.

After this matter is resolved, he will consider exploring the Abyss Forbidden Zone.

"No wonder the Abyss World has always been a hated existence in the multiverse. These abyss energies have even distorted the rules, making this area extremely chaotic." After using space jumps several times in a row, Enzo stopped where he was.

The disordered rules in the Abyss Forbidden Zone made Enzo somewhat unable to adapt.

Under normal circumstances, Enzo can reach another town from one town every time he jumps in space, and the magic power consumed is only the amount of a spell, but in the Abyss Forbidden Zone, it is obviously not the case.

Just a few space jumps consumed a lot of Enzo's magic.

At the same time, the distance covered was not obvious, even slower than Enzo's flying speed, and it was obviously still a long way from the Emerald City.

"What a hassle." Enzo frowned slightly.

As his mind moved, a pair of shadow wings appeared behind him, and after a slight vibration, they enveloped Enzo, as if he turned into a ghost and disappeared on the spot.

Shadow magic is almost a specialty for Enzo.

Although he has been promoted to a fourth-level wizard and mostly uses the power of rules in battle, shadow magic is still the foundation of Enzo's path, just like the Fire Supreme, who is still good at controlling fire even after being promoted to a seventh-level wizard.

In the sky, a shadow moved quickly.

At this speed, Enzo can reach the Emerald City in three hours at most, but as he goes deeper into the Abyss Forbidden Zone, the abyss breath in the air becomes stronger and the rules become more chaotic, making Enzo feel a little uncomfortable.

For ordinary wizards or mortal knights, the strong breath of the abyss can almost reach a fatal level, but for a fourth-level wizard like Enzo, it will not have much impact, but just make him feel uncomfortable.

The fourth-level all-spirit wizard is already a god-like existence.

This creature has completely escaped the boundaries of the mundane world, and some rules that are adapted to the mundane world have also become non-existent for them.

For example.

It is well known that human weaknesses lie in the heart and the head. Ordinary people will die after being pierced through the heart or cut off the head. After being promoted to a wizard, the weakness of the heart will no longer exist.

Even if it is only a first-level wizard, if the heart is pierced, it can be restored by organ transplantation through witchcraft, but cutting off the head is still a fatal injury to the wizard.

But the fourth-level wizard does not have such a weakness.

Whether their heart is smashed, their head is cut off, or even their organs are dug out, it will not cause fatal damage. The power of rules can completely shape the body, and it only consumes some original power.

For a fourth-level wizard, perhaps the only fatal weakness is the magic crystal in the body.

More precisely, it is the Heart of All Souls.

The source of wizard power is the magic crystal, which is a fatal weakness for every wizard. It gives wizards magic and power, and as the wizard himself is promoted to the fourth level, the nature of the magic crystal will also be changed.

The changed magic crystal is called the Heart of All Souls.

In the multiverse, the value of the Heart of All Souls is difficult to describe in words. Its preciousness even exceeds the divine fire. Even if the Supreme Council strictly prohibits the trading and sale of the Heart of All Souls, similar things in the multiverse have never stopped.

Even in the abyss world, many demon lords are honored to collect a Heart of All Souls.

After Enzo was promoted to the fourth-level wizard, the magic crystal in his body was also transformed into the Heart of All Souls, showing a black color like ink.

"Huh? What is that?"

In the sky, Enzo was flying at full speed towards the Emerald City, but suddenly saw a small town appeared below the ground, shrouded by a strong abyss aura, exuding a weird feeling.

"Ignore it for now."

Enzo shook his head, not intending to pay attention to the abnormality of the town, but at this moment, a vortex suddenly formed in the sky in the distance, as if it had the suction of a black hole, pulling Enzo into it.

"This aura..."

In the sky, Enzo stopped and felt the breath coming from the vortex. He pondered for a moment and finally walked in.

In an instant, he felt dizzy.

Enzo appeared in an unfamiliar space, surrounded by a barren land. The red sky seemed like a giant mouth that was ready to devour people. The cracked earth was bleeding, like a scene of the abyss purgatory.

"What is this? Dimensional space?"

Enzo raised his eyebrows, and a flash of enlightenment flashed in his eyes. After the abyss restricted area appeared in the Xingtong Kingdom, the original rules became abnormal, so the space fell into an illusory state. The black vortex just now represented the entrance to the dimensional space.

Since you enter this space, you must abide by the rules here.

Of course, this is only for ordinary wizards. This level of dimensional space is obviously unable to trap a fourth-level wizard like Enzo. He is very confident in his heart that if he bursts out his own power, he will be able to break through this space.

But Enzo did not do that.

The emergence of a dimensional space often represents the distortion of rules. Enzo can indeed destroy it purely with force, but the consequence of doing so is only to make this dimensional space fall into a more chaotic state.

Even, the entire dimensional space will collapse directly.

That will directly lead to the collapse of space and the formation of a large number of void cracks, which is an unimaginable disaster for ordinary wizards. Although Enzo is not afraid, he does not like mindless destruction.

"Let's take a look at the rules of this dimensional space first?"

Enzo pondered for a moment, and then made a decision. In addition to violent means, to crack a dimensional space, you can also find loopholes in the rules. Enzo, who has a chip, may not be unable to do it.

Then, he began to move forward.

The dimensional space with a strong abyss atmosphere is full of distorted rules, so it also breeds a large number of weird creatures. Enzo noticed that in the magma not far away, a bloated monster was sucking fat from his body.

The disgusting scene made people feel disgusted.

Enzo's face was calm. As the most evil and twisted world in the multiverse, the Abyss World naturally has many demons.

"Human?"

After walking for a while, Enzo suddenly saw a camp-like area not far away. A large number of ragged humans gathered here. Some of them were pale and thin, while others were potbellied.

The existence of two extremes seemed particularly strange.

"Mom, I'm so hungry..."

In the camp, a little girl nestled in her mother's arms and made an extremely weak voice. Her mother was also pale and thin, with a sad expression on her face.

At this time, in the center of the camp.

A deep pit similar to an oil pan suddenly collapsed, and the boiling hot water kept bubbling, making a gurgling sound. There was a commotion in the camp. Some humans looked at the bubbling deep pit, and a gleam of desire flashed in their eyes.

As for the other humans, they seemed extremely frightened.

They seemed to be afraid of the appearance of the deep pit, but there was a glimmer of desire in their eyes, and they seemed to be in an extremely tangled mood.

"Hunger is the best spur..."

A hoarse and strange voice came from the deep pit, which was like a death knell for the humans in the camp.

The next moment, an arm that seemed to be made up of countless blood vessels emerged from the deep pit.

The humans in the camp became nervous.

Finally, the arm stretched out in the direction of a man. The man had a belly as big as a drum, like a pregnant woman. Seeing the arm reaching out to him, he immediately screamed in fear and shrillness.

But his bloated body meant that he could not escape.

The arm wrapped around the big-bellied man like a venomous snake, and then dragged him into the deep pit. The humans in the surrounding camp had a relieved expression on their faces, and those big-bellied humans had greedy eyes.

Enzo frowned slightly on the spot.

He had noticed the abnormality of the camp. The deep pit seemed to be a curse of the abyss, which came from the gluttony demon, one of the seven deadly sins. The humans in the camp had fallen into the curse of hunger.

"No! Save me!!"

With a shrill scream, the man was dragged into the pit, and the boiling liquid covered his whole body, like a fat pig without hair.

Soon, the man's screams stopped abruptly.

The tempting aroma soon spread out, and the humans in the camp seemed to have long been unable to suppress their desires in their hearts, and rushed towards the pit one after another. Only a few people still held on to the bottom line.

"Mom, I'm so hungry..."

Looking in the direction of the pit, the little girl's face also showed a longing expression, but her mother covered her eyes tightly, as if she didn't want the girl to continue looking.

"Go to sleep, you won't be hungry when you fall asleep."

The mother comforted the girl, but she was also hungry. She hadn't eaten anything for ten days, and she was also very eager for the smell emanating from the pit, and she could hardly suppress her desire.

In the camp, there were very few people with pale faces and thin bodies.

Most people could not suppress their hunger and desires, and chose to sink, but the consequence of doing so was like the man in the pit.

He ate too much, so he eventually became food for everyone.

There seems to be no way to break the curse of hunger in the camp. Those who can't stand the hunger will eat their own kind in the pit, but the consequence of doing so is that they are destined to become food for others.

But how long can they continue to endure hunger?

Should I choose to sink in desire? Or stick to the bottom line and fight for that one in ten thousand hope?

Most people in the camp chose the former.

"I can't stand it!"

At this time, a pale and thin man suddenly screamed like a wail, and rushed into the deep pit. His thin body seemed to burst out with great strength, pushing away the people around him and eating big mouthfuls of food.

Feeling the taste of flesh and blood entering his stomach, the man's face showed an expression of great satisfaction.

At the same time, his body began to change. His hands turned into something like claws, and his sunken abdomen bulged like a pregnant woman, which looked extremely hideous and terrifying, but the man ignored his changes and greedily ate flesh and blood.

"Is it a curse of hunger?"

Enzo stroked his chin, and a trace of thought appeared on his face. This dimensional space seemed to be in a curse of the abyss. It was almost impossible for humans trapped in it to get rid of it.

"But...any way to break the curse?"

Enzo fell into deep thought. Breaking through the dimensional space with force is the simplest way, but Enzo is unwilling to do that. According to his inference, there should be a more clever way to leave this space.

"Eat? Or not eat?"

Enzo frowned slightly. The key to breaking the hunger curse should be whether to choose cannibalism. The purpose of the test is to be able to suppress one's desire. Those who are tempted by hunger and choose cannibalism will eventually become slaves of gluttony.

Perhaps, only by sticking to the bottom line can we leave this space.

"But...how long will it take?"

Enzo deduced the way to break the curse, but he didn't know how long he could persist to break the curse. The limit of hunger that mortals can endure is about ten days at most, but wizards can easily go without food for hundreds of years.

"Will I be trapped here for hundreds of years?"

Enzo had a sneer on his face. He understood the way to break the curse, but Enzo had other ideas. He couldn't waste too much time here, so if he wanted to break the curse, it seemed that he could only choose a simpler way.

At the spot, Enzo's mind moved.

The next moment, the shadow under his feet seemed to turn into a giant monster, with a body over a hundred meters long, almost covering the entire camp. The humans inside screamed in surprise, and except for those who were completely devoured by hunger and desire, everyone else fled in all directions.
