Chapter 722: Native God

"I know."

Ivan's face turned pale and he smiled bitterly and said, "With such a serious injury, even the best doctor in Tucker Kingdom may be helpless."

"It's just that I'm not willing to..."

As he spoke, a trace of hatred flashed in Ivan's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "That damn thief killed my whole family, and I must make him pay the price!"

"Fourth Prince Anthony?"

Enzo had no expression on his face, shook his head and said, "In your current state, there is no chance of revenge."

"Of course...I know this."

A trace of misery appeared on Ivan's face, and the luster in his eyes became increasingly dim. He said extremely weakly, "So... I want to ask you for help..."

"Me?" Enzo raised his eyebrows.

At this time, Ivan raised his hand tremblingly, took out a tattered map from his arms, with a metal key wrapped inside, and said, "Please take this key and look for Grandma's help."

"She is the guardian of the Clark family, she will definitely..."

Ivan's voice stopped suddenly, and finally lost his breath completely. Enzo couldn't help but frown slightly.

But looking at the map in Ivan's hand, Enzo narrowed his eyes.

"This is?"

Enzo leaned down and took the map and the key from Ivan's hand, his eyes shining slightly.

The seemingly ordinary key has a hint of energy fluctuation.

Moreover, according to the scan of the chip, this map also has an ancient history, and is even made of a special material.

"Guardian of the Clark family?"

A trace of thought appeared on Enzo's face, and then he recorded the information on the map, feeling slightly hesitant.

Enzo also knew something about the Clark family.

It is said that this is the oldest family in the Tucker Kingdom. Although it has declined now, it once had a prominent position. It even has a longer history than the Tucker Kingdom. It is the first ancestor of the Scarlet World.

But now, this family has been destroyed by the fourth prince Anthony.

Inexplicably, Enzo became interested in the guardian of the Clark family, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

"There's still a lot of time anyway."

After Enzo thought for a moment, he made a decision and decided to go to a place according to the instructions on the map.

…

In the blink of an eye, another three days passed.

As the old king passed away in vain, several princes began to attack each other in order to compete for the throne. As a result, the Tucker Kingdom fell into chaos. Everywhere was shrouded in flames of war, and therefore a large number of bandits were spawned.

On this day, within the Tucker Kingdom.

On the barren land, where the vegetation was lush, the sound of horse hooves could be heard. Enzo was riding a wild horse and was moving forward slowly.

In the sky, the sun hangs high.

"In about five days, we will almost reach our destination."

Riding on horseback, Enzo murmured to himself, holding a map in his hand. The mottled lines on it marked a place called the Forest of Blight.

According to the description on the map, the Clark family has a guardian.

Although this guardian fell into a deep sleep many years ago, when the Clark family is in danger, they can rely on the golden key and go to the Withered Forest to seek help from the Clark family's grandmother.

"Aboriginal demigod?"

Looking at the metal key in his hand, a trace of thought appeared on Enzo's face. As the oldest family in the Tucker Kingdom, the Clark family itself belongs to the descendants of the ancient people of the Scarlet World.

At the beginning of the birth of the Scarlet World, the ancestors thrived on this land.

And those beings who absorb the power of gifts from the world not only gain extraordinary power, but are also believed by the ancestors and become existences similar to indigenous gods.

In the multiverse, this is how the world is often formed.

In the early days of the birth of the world, the first creatures received the power of gifts from the world and became extraordinary beings. After a round of fighting, those who finally survived could become indigenous gods.

This is true for both the war ghost world and the forest world.

However, something unexpected happened to the development of the Scarlet World. Due to the arrival of the corpses of gods from outside the territory, a clan of Bloodsuckers was born, thus forming an existence that could compete with the indigenous demigods. After a battle broke out, both sides fell into silence.

Against this background, no indigenous gods were born in the Scarlet World.

Before the end of the ancient era, the most powerful ancient creatures were only demigods, and no creature had broken through the fourth level limit.

Since getting the map of the Clark family, Enzo has made inferences.

He felt that the so-called guardians of the Clark family should be the demigod creatures who fought with the Bloodsuckers in ancient times. Because they were injured in the battle, they fell into silence and did not wake up for many years.

Now the Clark family has been completely destroyed.

As the last bloodline of the family, Ivan gave the key and map to Enzo before his death, praying for him to find his grandmother and avenge the Clark family, but he did not hold much hope in his heart.

After all, many years have passed.

Even as the last bloodline of the Clark family, Ivan has only heard a little bit about the guardian of the Clark family. To most family members, it is more like a legend.

Enzo thinks everything is real.

Herod!

While Enzo was thinking, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from ahead. Looking from a distance, he saw dust flying on the ground.

"Gangsta?"

Enzo raised his eyebrows, and a trace of indifference appeared on his face. Because the Tucker Kingdom fell into chaos, gangs have been rampant in recent times. He has encountered several waves of gangs in the few days of his journey.

When the unlucky gang saw Enzo, who was alone, they naturally thought they had met a fat sheep, but they all died because of it.

Hearing the sound of horse hooves from a distance, Enzo's eyes were full of indifference.

But after waiting for a while, he did not see the gangs rushing towards him. Enzo looked over and found that the gangs were fighting each other.

"Black eating black?"

Enzo suddenly realized that the gangs in the distance belonged to two gangs, but for some reason, they were fighting in the wilderness.

The fighting in the distance was still going on.

Enzo was not interested in this, shook his head, and prepared to bypass this place and settle in a town not far from here.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly felt a trace of special energy fluctuations.

"What is this?"

Enzo narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the fighting bandits, and saw a bald bandit holding a bronze box in his hands.

"Interesting!"

Enzo's eyes flickered slightly, and he felt the extraordinaryness of the bronze box, so he rode towards the fighting bandits.

At this time, there were only a few left of the two gangs after the fight.

As Enzo approached, the bald bandit was immediately alerted. He was about to call his men to deal with Enzo, but a shadow suddenly appeared behind him.

The next moment, the bald bandit was cut to death by the shadow.

"Boss!"

"Big brother is dead!"

When the surrounding bandits saw the bald man die, they immediately cried out in surprise. Everyone saw the strange black shadow, so they looked terrified.

Enzo had a blank expression on his face, and a hint of coldness in his eyes.

After nearly two hundred years of wizarding journey, Enzo's attitude towards life has become more and more indifferent as his strength continues to improve. Although he still follows his heart, he is merciless to these bandits.

In a moment, dozens of bandits were killed.

"Devil... Devil..."

The last bandit was dying, but his eyes still showed a glimmer of survival, and he crawled towards the metal box desperately.

Enzo raised his eyebrows and waved his hand to end the other's life.

"Just for this thing?"

Enzo picked up the bronze box on the ground and looked at it carefully.

This is a cubic metal box with strange symbols on the surface. There is no gap, and it seems that there is no way to open it.

Enzo threw the bronze box to the ground, and then waved his hand to release a fighting spirit.

Ding!

The fighting spirit that can even shatter diamonds only left a trace on the bronze box, and it slowly healed in a moment.

Enzo narrowed his eyes slightly, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

It has been several months since Enzo came to the Scarlet World. His strength has reached the second level. He can fight even against a demigod, but he was surprised that he couldn't break the metal box.

Although, Enzo didn't use all his strength in the previous attack.

"It's really interesting."

Enzo's lips slightly raised, a trace of seriousness appeared on his face, and then he waved his hand to condense a shadow blade, took a deep breath, and swung it fiercely.

Swish!

With a sharp friction sound, the bronze box shattered, and inside was a shriveled hand claw, which looked like it came from some kind of beast.

"Monkey's paw?"

Enzo raised his eyebrows, picked up the monkey's paw on the ground, felt the strange fluctuations it emitted, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

This shriveled monkey's paw was grayish white.

There were five fingers on it, two of which were curled up, and the remaining three were in an extended state.

"Put it away first."

Enzo shook his head. Although he could feel the extraordinaryness of the monkey's paw, he didn't know what it represented, so he put it away.

After the episode, Enzo continued on his way.

According to the scarlet world map that Enzo got before leaving the southern border, there was a place called Monkey Tail Town ahead.

Enzo came to Monkey Tail Town and planned to settle down here now.

Not far away, a small town appeared in front of him.

Surrounded by a Gobi desert, the scorching sun baked the earth, the wind blew, and waves of sand swept over the cactus.

"Welcome guests to Monkey Tail Town."

At the entrance of the town, an uncle sitting on a rock greeted Enzo warmly after seeing him.

Enzo nodded slightly, which was considered a greeting.

Afterwards, he went straight into Monkey Tail Town. The location here is remote and the surrounding environment is also very bad. It is a desert area, so many bandits have bred here. Coupled with the recent chaos, it has become more dangerous.

Not far away, there is a tavern.

Pushing open the shutter door in the middle, Enzo walked straight into the tavern. In the small space, there were men drinking and chatting around several tables.

"Have you heard? Recently, the people from the Red Wine Club found a good thing near the mouth of the desert!"

"Gold? Jewelry?"

"Tsk! What's gold? Haven't you heard of the legend of the monkey's paw?"

The men's chat attracted Enzo's attention.

He found a seat by the window and sat down.

"The legend of the monkey's paw? Is it the cursed thing?"

"That's right!"

"Isn't it just a story?"

"Hehe! I knew you had heard of it."

"Of course, who hasn't heard of the legend of the monkey's paw when they grew up in Monkey Tail Town?"

The man said, taking out a claw-shaped ornament from his arms, and chuckled, "I also have one here. What's so strange about it?"

Across the way, another man looked dismissively.

He casually knocked off his companion's monkey paw ornaments, and the man said mysteriously, "This thing of yours is fake, but I heard that what Chijiu will get is the real thing."

As they spoke, the two lowered their voices and began to whisper.

Through their conversation, Enzo vaguely learned the story about the monkey's paw.

Legend has it that there is a magical monkey's paw in this world. Anyone who gets it can make a wish as long as he leaves blood on it. If he doesn't make a wish, the fingers of the monkey's paw will curl up.

But correspondingly, people who use the monkey's paw will also be subject to strange curses, and while achieving their wishes, they will eventually die.

In the history of the Scarlet World, two people once obtained the monkey's paw. The former became the richest man in the world, but lost everything in a fire.

The other person is even more legendary.

He was originally a knight. After receiving the monkey's paw, he made a wish to become a king. With the help of the monkey's paw, he actually became a king and even established a kingdom no less than the Kingdom of Tucker.

However, as the legend goes, using a monkey's paw to make a wish will also bring a curse. The Holy Knight who established a huge kingdom eventually destroyed his country and died, and no one in his family was spared.

From then on, the legend about the monkey's paw spread. The cursed monkey's paw was obtained by a wise man. He restrained his inner greed and sealed the monkey's paw instead of making a wish.

"The wishing monkey's paw?"

Enzo raised his brows, with a strange look on his face. In the multiverse, there are too many items with the ability to grant wishes, but there are often certain restrictions.

For example, Enzo in his heyday could also create a wish-making monkey's paw and use the magic power of the monkey's paw to fulfill wishes, but the premise is that the wish cannot exceed Enzo's own capabilities.

"It's like a deal with the devil..."

Enzo murmured to himself that in the multiverse, the easiest way to make a wish is undoubtedly to make a deal with the devil, but similarly, if your wish is beyond the devil's ability, the deal will naturally not be achieved.

"try it?"

Enzo thought for a moment, took out the monkey's paw from his arms, dripped the blood, and said his wish: "Give me a glass of beer!"

The originally gray-white monkey's paw began to glow slowly, and as one of the three fingers curled up, a glass of beer appeared in front of Enzo.

Looking at the wine glass in front of him, an expression of interest appeared on Enzo's face.

"Looks...not bad!"
