Star Trace Gate

The fat dragon stood there, blood still gushing from his wound, but there was no change in his expression, he just lowered his head and looked down at the snake dog.

"Zi Liu!"

The snake-dog stuck out its tongue, licked the side of its mouth, then came closer, wagging its tail.

"Clap!"

The fat dragon threw the meat from his legs directly onto the ground.

The moment the meat fell to the ground, a golden light appeared, and the flesh and skin actually beat slightly like a heart, as if it were a living thing.

The snake dog immediately rushed forward, held the piece of meat with its two paws, and began to devour it voraciously.

The fat dragon reached out and tore off a corner of his clothes, which he used to heal the wound on his leg. After treating it temporarily, he stood aside and watched quietly.

Not long after, after the snake and dog finished eating the human flesh, they licked the blood on the ground clean, and then became refreshed, not as listless as before.

It came closer, lowered its head slightly, and licked the back of the fat dragon's hand affectionately, as if it was very grateful for the other party's act of cutting meat to feed it.

When you are hungry, a full meal is a great blessing.

The man and the dog looked at each other. The fat dragon reached out and touched the other's head, and whispered: "You are starving, and I am on the verge of death. Alas, we are both poor people with the same disease...!"

"Ouch."

The snake-dog wailed upon hearing the sound, then slowly lay down beside the big fat dragon's feet, looking old and quiet.

Not far away, Wu Ling Ghost Child gently reminded: "You don't have much time."

"We are going to the mountains to look for military tokens. Is there anything we can use to identify them?" asked the Fat Dragon.

"There is a wooden box that once contained a military amulet." Wu Ling Ghost Child said with a smile, "However, this wooden box has been separated from the military amulet for many years, and the smell has become very faint."

Then isn't that right?

There is no scent, no clear area, and no markings. So where do you want me, a dog like you, to find some damn military talisman?

"Whoosh!"

The Wu Ling ghost boy raised his hand and threw a wooden box over.

The fat dragon took it, lowered his head and said to the snake dog: "Brother Dog, my life is in your hands now. We must not be careless. Sniff carefully and remember the smell in the box...!"

The snake-dog moved slightly closer, its nostrils twitching, and it seemed to be sniffing very seriously.

After a while, it revealed a confused look that was not very bright.

This snake-dog seems to be very old, its eyesight is dim and its five senses are dull. Even if it tries very hard, it will be difficult for it to achieve excellence.

"Brother Gou, with the look in your eyes, I have already thought about where to bury myself." Big Fat Dragon was very nervous, sweat on his forehead, and he said as patiently as possible: "You need to identify the mixed smell first, don't be anxious...!"

The snake dog tried very hard to sniff, but still couldn't get in. The fat dragon kept nagging and guiding it for a long time, but to no avail.

Time passed by minute by minute, and we were getting close to departure.

The fat dragon wiped the sweat from his forehead with his bloody hands, and unconsciously glanced at the idiot beside the witch ghost boy.

The pig hadn't made any preparations at all. It just lay there on the ground in a carefree manner, looking confident of what it was going to do.

It must be more familiar with the dragon-shaped military talisman, so there is no need to make any preparations.

When the fat dragon thought of this, he lowered his head and glanced at the old-fashioned dog brother, and even felt despair in his heart.

The snake dog was old and seemed unfamiliar with the smell of the dragon-shaped weapon talisman. How could it compete with the young and strong-looking fool? The physical strength of the two might be very different. The snake dog might not even be able to run half the distance of the mountain hundreds of feet high...

If they compete through normal means, this man and dog will probably be completely defeated.

The fat dragon squatted on the ground, completely ignoring the blood oozing from the wound, and just thought carefully.

Next to it, the snake and dog did not disturb, but just quietly waited for "commands".

After eating human flesh and licking human blood, its attitude towards the fat dragon became very kind, just like an old dog raised at home, quiet and steady.

After a while, it was time to set off.

The fat dragon looked at the witch ghost boy, and immediately used his consciousness to transmit sound, repeating a few words to the snake dog, which left a deep impression on it.

The snake-dog slowly stood up and rubbed its head against the big fat dragon's legs affectionately.

"It's time to go."

Wu Ling ghost boy shouted.

"Whoosh!"

As soon as the words fell, the stupid pig suddenly shot out like an arrow, running very fast and agilely.

With the sun shining brightly, the scenery in the countryside is as beautiful as a painting.

The snake-dog dragged its old body out of the yard, swinging its limbs as fast as it could, and walked towards the mountain at a slightly slower pace.

The fat dragon stood at the gate of the courtyard, waved his hand and shouted, "Brother Gou! I leave my life to you."

The snake-dog looked back as it ran. It did not respond with its old voice. It just conserved its strength and quickened its pace again as if risking its life.

Wu Ling Ghost Child saw this scene and chuckled, saying, "Your ability to tame beasts is truly superb."

"Exotic beasts are spiritual, just like humans." The fat dragon said calmly, "Controlling beasts is the same as controlling humans, you just need to treat them with sincerity."

"Hehe, treat each other with sincerity." Wu Ling Gui Tong repeated softly and didn't say anything more.

……

Spiritual tunnel, inside the terracotta figurine room.

The mushroom that grew on the top of the swordfish's head grew to the size of a flower umbrella in just half an incense stick of time.

At the same time, more than a dozen mushrooms grew on his face, including his forehead, cheeks, chin, and around his eyes.

But the mushrooms on the face are very small, about the thickness and length of the fingers of a three or four-year-old child.

After it grew to this size, he no longer felt the itching, but his entire body had been cursed to the point of being on the verge of a mental breakdown.

"Brother Gui Tou Dao, don't panic... It must be because we moved the terracotta figurines in the wrong way, so you were cursed. If we can find a way to break it, you should be able to restore it to its original state." Ren Ye advised kindly.

"I received a reminder from the Heavenly Dao of the Secret Realm that each person can be cursed three times at most. If they exceed this number, they will surely die." Gui Toudao had a big mushroom on his head and said excitedly, "So, we have to...!"

"Don't come over here!" Ren Ye saw him walking towards him, and immediately waved his hand and said very sincerely: "Let's keep a distance when talking."

"...!"

Gui Tou Dao gritted his teeth and said, "We must find a way as soon as possible to find out the mistake when moving the terracotta figurines."

After the words were spoken, the secret room fell silent.

The four of them stood in a corner, frowning and thinking.

Not long after, Ren Ye stared at the terracotta figurine and said, "I recalled the details. When the terracotta figurine was pulled, the bluestone base made a sound of the spring turning, and then the terracotta figurine emitted a fleeting light."

"Yes, I noticed that too." The poison wine pot nodded slightly: "The spring is turning in front, and the light is behind. This means that some kind of mechanism may have been triggered."

Ren nodded slightly, turned around and looked at Gui Tou Dao: "Recall carefully, is there anything unusual after moving the terracotta figurines?"

The ghost-headed knifeman, who was quite skilled in handwork, scratched the small mushroom on his face. After carefully recalling it, he said softly, "After the light flashed, the painted decoration on the terracotta figurine seemed to come alive and flowed on the surface of the body."

"I was staring at the terracotta figurine and didn't see this scene." Baihuaxian shook her head.

"Could it be... this is your illusion."

"No, I remember it very well."

"...!"

After a brief exchange among the few people, all three doubts were confirmed.

Ren Ye pondered for a while, and suddenly remembered the experience he had in the Wang Family Dragon Storehouse in Qijia Town: "This may be a gravity mechanism...!"

"Do you understand?" asked the Poison Wine Pot.

"I have experienced this once, but there are many different types of gravity mechanisms, and they vary greatly." Ren Ye paused and said, "How about this, you two don't go and clear the evil spirits yet. We must find a way to crack the terracotta mechanism here first, otherwise it will be useless to do anything else."

"Okay." The Flower Fairy nodded.

"I suggest that we try it again." Ren Ye looked at the three people, "But we still have to do it alone, because according to previous judgment, Guitoudao moved the terracotta figurine alone, so his skin and flesh grew mushrooms; but the three of us are fine, so the rule here may be that only those who move the terracotta figurines will be cursed. Then there is no need for the three of us to risk our lives."

"That's a great idea, but who's going to do it alone?" The Poison Wine Pot immediately replied, "Is it you? Leader...!"

"I suggest smoking willow branches." Ren Ye replied fairly.

When Poison Wine Pot heard this, he waved his hand and said, "If you want to beat the willow branches, you might as well just let me do it. The result will be the same anyway."

"Or...!" Baihuaxian wanted to speak.

"Forget it, forget it." Ren Ye waved his hand and said, "This team leader should really show some responsibility. This round, I will do it!"

"The team leader is extremely righteous and we admire him very much." After throwing down the poison wine jug and saying this, the man had already run out of the secret room.

Baihuaxian looked at Ren Ye with some concern: "You...!"

"We have three chances anyway." Ren Ye whispered, "...try it once, it should be fine. We can't bully others too much, otherwise it will be troublesome if there is an internal conflict."

"Ok."

After the Flower Fairy nodded, she left the secret room.

"Xiao Gou Ba, do you want to join us?" Ren Ye invited Gui Tou Dao.

"Forget it, forget it. There is no room on my face for mushrooms to grow anymore." Guitoudao declined and turned away.

Soon, Ren also came to the side of the terracotta figurine and put his arms around its waist.

"brush!"

After getting into position, he secretly mobilized the power of destiny in his body, and urged the might of the Human Emperor Sword to be restrained. After stacking up various buffs, he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Get up!!"

"Crack!"

He exerted force once and lifted the terracotta figurine to the height of a finger.

This scene stunned Guitoudao and Dujiuhu. They stared at King Huai's back with their eyes wide open, muttering unconsciously, "How could he have such divine power?!"

"Yeah, it feels like it's much easier for him to lift it than it is for you!"

"...!"

With the Heaven's Pardon in his body, his luck has been enhanced, and he has been using the Human Emperor Sword, an extremely heavy divine weapon, for many years...

In terms of strength, Ren has never been defeated by anyone.

"what!"

Ren also moved the terracotta figurine, and in an instant he used his consciousness to summon the Human Emperor Sword and press it on the base.

"Crack!"

At this moment, the sound of a spring turning was heard from the bluestone base.

"brush!"

The terracotta figurines burst into dazzling light.

Immediately afterwards, Ren also saw the colorful paintings on the surface of the terracotta figurines flowing rapidly.

Suddenly, an inexplicable strange force instantly surged into Ren Ye's body.

He had mobilized his luck in advance, so his overall perception was far beyond that of Guitoudao.

Ren only felt his heart tremble, and a strange and unpredictable energy flashed through his body.

He originally wanted to use the Human Emperor Sword to hold down the base after moving the terracotta figurine, but the power of the curse came too quickly, leaving him no chance to react.

“It’s over, I’ve been hit…!”

"boom!"

At this moment, a seductive fire suddenly ignited in the consciousness space.

The Lotus Lantern of Samsara...actually lit up by itself.

The strange power of the curse was suddenly illuminated and materialized, like a thick gray fog flowing.

In a flash, the power of the curse was attracted by the lotus lantern and floated over little by little.
