Chapter 372 The Real Reason for Being Cursed
Jiu Laner nodded in agreement, with a hint of anger and dissatisfaction on her face, and said:
"That's right! Zi Ling'er and the others killed so many innocent lives. It's too easy for them to die so easily!"
Su Chenyin nodded slightly, indicating that she agreed with Jiu Lan'er's point of view.
Just then, a cold wind suddenly blew, bringing with it a creepy whooshing sound.
Yan Ling and Jiu Lan'er couldn't help but shudder and became alert instantly.
Their bodies unconsciously leaned towards Su Chenyin.
Su Chenyin frowned slightly and looked around.
As they walked along the trail deeper into the Flowing Cloud Valley, the blood trees that were originally dense on both sides of the trail began to become increasingly sparse.
The sun hangs high in the blue sky, and the sunlight shines through the sparse treetops, casting more mottled light and shadows.
However, these lights and shadows did not bring any warmth to people, but made the whole atmosphere seem increasingly gloomy.
At the same time, the resentment that permeated the surroundings became more and more intense, and a faint black mist began to cover the valley, like a thin haze.
There was an unsettling sense of oppression in the air, as if an invisible burden was pressing on one's heart, making it hard to breathe.
As a soul, Zi Tan'er is more easily affected by the strong resentment around her.
At this moment, her body was surrounded by a vague resentment, which seeped into her body bit by bit, trying to erode her consciousness.
She couldn't help but tremble slightly. The invasion of resentment made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
Seeing this, Su Chenyin flipped his palm and the purple golden flame instantly jumped into his palm.
She waved her hand violently, transforming the Purple Golden Flame into four balls of purple-gold flame, which flew towards herself, Jiulan'er, Yanling and Zitan'er respectively.
Then, each ball of flame turned into a fire shield, jumping around their bodies and dispelling the resentment that tried to approach.
Zi Tan'er suddenly felt a warmth, as if she was enveloped by a warm force, and her floating movements suddenly stopped.
Then she looked down in surprise, only to see a purple-gold fire shield surrounding her.
The resentment that had been lingering around her disappeared the moment she came into contact with the fire shield, the feeling of discomfort also vanished, and her consciousness became clear.
Zitan'er turned her head and gave Su Chenyin a grateful look.
"Thank you, Miss Su." After thanking Su Chenyin, Zitan'er continued to lead the way.
Yan Ling and Jiu Lan'er also expressed their gratitude to Su Chenyin.
"You're welcome." Su Chenyin shook her head and smiled back at the three of them.
Then, she raised her head and glanced at Zi Tan'er who was floating in the air and asked:
"Miss Tan'er, what happened to that power after it devoured Zi Ling'er and the others' lives? Did it disappear, or...? And what about the bead on the altar?"
When Zi Tan'er heard Su Chenyin's question, her expression suddenly changed, becoming as gloomy as if covered by a thick layer of dark clouds.
She seemed to have suddenly thought of something extremely terrifying, her face was full of fear, and her lips turned slightly pale.
After a long silence, her low and sad voice finally echoed in the cold air:
"Because the seal that sealed this ancient power had been completely broken at that time, this power was not just released a little, but burst out completely."
"So after this power devoured Zi Ling'er and the others' lives, it did not disappear. Instead, it quickly spread throughout the Blood Mist Forest with the altar as the center."
"Wherever this force passed, all living creatures were ruthlessly devoured. No matter if they were humans, birds or beasts, or those powerful creatures hiding in the dark, no one was spared."
Recalling that horrific scene, Zitan'er's body floating in the air trembled noticeably a few times.
She took a deep breath.
When Su Chenyin heard this, his expression instantly became solemn and shocked.
Yan Ling couldn't help but shiver, with an unconcealable look of fear on his face.
Jiu Lan'er was so frightened that her blood-red hair stood on end and her eyes were wide open as big as copper bells.
But the three of them didn't say anything, but listened quietly to Zi Tan'er's next words.
"Under the engulfment of that power, the entire Blood Mist Forest was filled with bloody corpses. Lives were in ruins, and blood flowed like a river."
"Every inch of land, every flower, every tree, and even everything in the Blood Mist Forest was dyed blood red. The entire Blood Mist Forest exuded a strong smell of blood and became eerie and terrifying."
Zi Tan'er's words shocked Su Chenyin and others, and the already gloomy atmosphere became even heavier.
They couldn't imagine that the ancient power was so terrifying! !
In just a moment, the entire Blood Mist Forest was transformed into a Shura field where all living things were devastated.
Yan Ling took a deep breath, a look of horror appeared on his face, and he said in a trembling voice: "Isn't this power too terrifying?!"
Zi Tan'er nodded and said solemnly: "That power is not only powerful, but also carries a strange curse."
"Curse?" Su Chenyin looked suspicious and asked quickly, "What is this curse?"
Upon hearing this, Zi Tan'er sighed sadly and replied to Su Chenyin:
"Alas, any living being touched by this cursed power will not only die, but even their souls will be imprisoned in the Blood Mist Forest and unable to be reincarnated."
“And those creatures that managed to escape death under the ravages of that power were also tainted with the curse and will never be able to escape from this blood mist forest.”
"Moreover, as time goes by, those cursed creatures will lose their minds at best, lose their lives at worst, and in the worst case, their souls will be scattered."
Zi Tan'er finished speaking, her eyes filled with sadness.
After hearing what Zitan'er said, Su Chenyin frowned, and with an idea in his mind, he asked:
"Miss Tan'er, so this is the real reason why the Blood Mist Forest is cursed?"
"I think it must be." As soon as Su Chenyin finished speaking, Jiu Lan'er and Yan Ling immediately agreed in unison.
"That's right." Zi Tan'er nodded, "It was also from that time that this Blood Mist Forest was also called the Blood Curse Land."
After a pause, she continued:
"And the most terrifying thing is that under the raging of this cursed power, the entire Blood Mist Forest began to crumble and was about to collapse at any time."
“The countless creatures that managed to survive felt terrified and desperate when they saw the Blood Mist Forest crumbling at any moment.”
"However, just when the entire Blood Mist Forest was about to collapse, Amu finally rushed back..."
