"Holy Hunt? What is it? Can it actually frighten a rule-level expert?"
Gray looked confused. Between the words, he could clearly feel that the person who wrote these words was filled with fear of the "Holy Hunt", which made him stunned.
According to their speculation, the owner of this ruins should be a regular-level powerhouse, which can frighten a regular-level powerhouse. One can imagine the terror of this existence called "Holy Hunt".
Moreover, this name is also full of weirdness. A regular-level powerhouse is also revered as a Saint. The Saint Queen has the suffix of Hunter, which undoubtedly seems very weird. Could it be that he is a Saint Hunter? But the existence that preys on saints should not exist no matter how you think about it.
"I didn't expect that the 'Holy Hunt'... really exists?"
At this moment, Sophia's voice sounded with a slight tremor. Gray looked at Sophia and saw the pupils in her eyes shrank and her face was shaken. It was obvious that this was not the first time he heard about "Holy Hunt".
"Sophia, what do you know?"
Gray asked hurriedly.
"I have seen records about the Holy Hunt in the collection of books in the Time and Space Temple. This is an organization that specializes in preying on rule-level experts, or a very powerful rule-level expert. It first appeared in the 50,000 Years ago.”
"During these 50,000 years, they appear from time to time and regard rule-level experts as prey. No one has seen their true face, but everyone who has seen their true face is already dead."
Sophia said with a solemn expression.
"Sacred Hunting really means preying on rule-level experts?"
Upon hearing his words, Gray and the others took a deep breath and looked at each other in shock.
Rule-level experts, powerful beings who control the rules and stand at the top of the world, have a lifespan of tens of thousands of years. Their existence is like gods to ordinary people and even some low-level blood warriors.
And how unimaginable is it for such a being to be regarded as prey by another being
Being able to regard rule-level powerhouses as prey, how strong will this holy hunting organization or powerhouse be
The impact this had on them was simply unimaginable, and a certain concept in their minds was subverted. It turned out that the rule-level powerhouses were not fearless, and there were organizations or people who specifically hunted them.
"This kind of thing is not accessible to us now. It is best for us to bury what we heard today in our heads and not spread it outside."
"Although such forces should not care about us, there is no guarantee that the other party will not feel disgusted because we know their existence and wipe us out."
After taking a few deep breaths, Gray suppressed the shock in his heart and said.
Although he is quite confident in his own strength, he is not confident enough to compete with organizations or strong men who can prey on rule-level powerhouses.
"What I'm saying is that everyone just needs to keep this in mind."
Blanca nodded with a solemn expression. As a business genius, she is more keen and understands the consequences of spreading such things.
The five people looked down and looked at the content behind.
"Destined person, everything here belongs to you. You can even copy the book of rules."
"However, please return the book of rules to the Witch Temple and hand it over to the current temple master. This is a request and curse from a dying man!"
Buzz —
A sudden change occurred. When the eyes of the five Grays saw the word "curse", the words that originally seemed extremely ordinary suddenly changed dramatically.
The color changed from black to a blood-red color, and it separated from the leather paper.
After breaking away, it suddenly expanded to dozens of meters in size, shrouded the five Grays, and turned into red mist and integrated into the bodies of the five Grays.
"No, get out of here!"
The five Grays suddenly changed their colors and moved away from their original place as if avoiding snakes and scorpions, but it was obviously too late.
Before they could escape, all the visions had disappeared, and the red mist had integrated into their bodies. What just happened was so fast that even Gray, who had the ability to teleport, had no time to react. Move away.
"What's going on?"
The five people looked confused and looked at themselves one after another.
There were no wounds on their bodies, nor did they feel any discomfort, but the expressions on the faces of the five people did not relax, but instead became more solemn.
They were indeed not injured or in any discomfort, but a strange bloody snake pattern was found on their left arm.
It was like a small bloody snake wrapped around their arms, swallowing the snake's core. It looked extremely permeable, and you could tell at a glance that it was definitely not a good thing.
"Curse, this must be the curse ability in the rules of curse!"
Blanca said with a pale face.
It is mentioned in the Book of Curse Rules that some people have awakened the ability to curse and can use the word curse as a medium to launch curses. Obviously, they should have been hit by this curse just now.
"Judging from the content of the letter, if we don't return the book of rules to the Witch Temple, the curse will be activated. Although we don't know what will happen after the curse is activated, it will never be a good thing."
Sophia looked equally pale.
"To lift the curse, I'm afraid the only way is to return the book of rules to the Witch Temple."
Gray's face was heavy.
He was very calm about this trip to the ruins, because with his current strength, as long as he did not encounter a rule-level person, no one could threaten him. However, he did not expect that such a thing would happen, and he would be cursed by a rule-level strongman. , the danger has been beyond his control.
"Although returning the Book of Rules to the Witch Temple may be able to lift the curse, it will also be pursued by the Witch Temple. After all, we have already seen the contents of the Book of Rules. With the strength of the Saint-level forces, it is very likely that we will not be able to lift the curse. Will allow anyone who has viewed their Book of Rules to still be alive."
It was difficult for Landry to see the solemn look on his face as his expression changed.
"Whether you send him back or not, you will die. I'm sorry, it was me who hurt you. If I hadn't invited you, you wouldn't have been cursed."
George's face was full of guilt and apology.
He regrets very much now. He regrets getting this map and regretting inviting the four people. If he had not got this map, he would not have come. If he had not invited the four people, the four people would not be cursed.
"It's not your fault. Since exploring the ruins, there are naturally risks. From the time we agreed to come, we have been prepared to encounter danger."
Gray shook his head.
"It's really not your fault. Since you are exploring the ruins, you have to bear the risks."
Blanca said the same, but there was a wry smile in her heart.
If you don't send it back, you will be cursed, and if you send it back, you will be hunted by the Witch Temple. No matter which side you choose, there is almost no hope of living.
She subconsciously stopped Gray, a disciple of the Time and Space Temple. As a disciple of the Time and Space Temple, he might know other ways to eliminate the curse.
"Is there no other way?"
"Yes, I once fought against the saint of the Temple of Light. Her light rule ability has the ability to relieve negative status, and it should be able to lift this curse."
Gray said after thinking for a moment.
"With your teleportation ability, you should be able to reach the Temple of Light quickly, so let's rush to the Temple of Light now?"
With happy expressions on their faces, Blanca and the other three looked at Gray expectantly.
"It's impossible. Given my relationship with the Temple of Light, they will never help us."
Gray shook his head helplessly. If the Saint of Light knew that he was cursed and was about to die, and it was too late to be happy, how could she help them lift it.
"What should we do?"
The newly raised hopes were extinguished, and several people's faces turned ugly.
"We can only risk sending the book of rules back, and the five of us must send it in person. Otherwise, even if the book of rules is handed over to the master of the Witch Temple, it may not be able to lift the curse on us."
Gray said seriously.
"But you don't have to worry too much. I have the ability to teleport. Even if the Witch Temple wants to attack us, it may not be able to keep us."
Regarding what seemed to be the only way out at present, the others finally decided to go after careful consideration.
There is still a chance to survive if you go there, but if you do nothing, you will probably die when the curse takes effect.
Recalling the direction of the Witch Temple on the map, Gray asked Sophia and the others to stay in the plane for the time being. Regardless of the surprised Blanca and the other three, Gray quickly teleported towards the Witch Temple.
Now we are racing against time. We don’t know when the curse will strike. The only thing we can do now is to rush to the Witch Temple as quickly as possible and return the book of rules to the Witch Temple to lift the curse.
Along the way, he used teleportation continuously, and sometimes he didn't care if he was seen by others. He just wanted to reach the Witch Temple as quickly as possible.
The Witch Temple is a holy force not too far away from the Chaos Territory. Because of this, the ruins will appear in the adjacent sea of the South China Sea, which is close to the Chaos Territory. In just two days, he has entered the Witch Temple. The sphere of influence is the Holy Witch Leader.
After arriving at the Holy Witch Territory and entering the city to find out where the Wusheng Temple was, he teleported again and rushed on his way. He didn't stop this crazy rush until he was about to approach the Wusheng Temple.
No saint-level force would be willing to see its own book of rules obtained by outsiders. The reason why Gray was able to borrow the book of rules from the Holy Soldier Clan through negotiation last time was because the book of rules of time and space is not a holy book. Unique to the military clan.
But this Curse Rule Book is obviously different. It should be a rule book that belongs exclusively to the Witch Temple. The Witch Temple will probably not allow outsiders who have read it to live, causing the rule book to be leaked, even if the rule book is leaked. They sent it back.
Therefore, before going to see the Witch Temple, he must increase his combat power as much as possible.
And now, he happened to have a way to quickly increase his combat power, and that was the corpse of the rule-level bird and beast.
The corpse of a rule-level bird and beast must have existed for a very long time. Even Gray is not sure whether it can still be controlled, but he has to give it a try. The corpse of this rule-level bird and beast is so completely preserved that it may be able to control the corpse ability. control.
