Fear Collection

"Muta?" Xie Jinxi tried to respond in his mind, and at the same time tried hard to break free from this dangerous hug, but he failed, the opponent's strength was too great, and he was completely trapped in his arms.

"It's me." The voice in my head sounded again, "I'm sorry I can only communicate with you like this, did I hurt you just now?"

Only then did Xie Jinxi realize that, oh, that’s right, the witch itself is the medium of communication, and can ignore the other party’s biological form and communicate directly with the other party’s soul.

"No...what the hell, what's going on here?" Xie Jinxi only remembered that she pointed the direction to Muta in the past, and since they could communicate like this, why did Muta attack him in the first place?

In the dark cave there was only the light of a flashlight. Xie Jinxi was still in pain, especially in his neck and chest. The fear of being almost hanged by Muta's snake tail still remained in his body.

Muta was silent for a while, telling in his mind what he experienced from his perspective.

The last mission was actually his seventh mission world, and the blood curse on his body was left in the sixth world.After passing the fifth world, the difficulty of the last two worlds will increase exponentially.

And that world was also Lu Si's sixth world.

In fact, Muta's seventh world is far less terrifying than the sixth world, so he was hesitant from the beginning.Headhunters, giant pythons, human snakes, sacrifices... may be considered terrifying to other taskers, but they are far from the sixth world he has experienced.

It wasn't until Lu Si turned into a monster that he realized that this was all arranged by 'His'.

There have been several waves of questers in the dense forest of the Fragmented World, plus the local tribesmen hunted down other tribesmen and sacrificed to the temple, and there are countless resentful spirits wandering in the dense forest.

As long as the curse deepens, Lu Si's own blood will try to absorb more resentful souls to fight the curse out of self-preservation. As long as Lu Si does this, he will become the most powerful and invincible boss in this world.

From another angle, this is the same for Muta.The blood curse on Muta can absorb resentful souls to strengthen himself. When the curse of the snake god deepens in the end, the blood curse will also try to resist the curse of the snake god, and he will also end up absorbing resentful souls and becoming a monster himself.

This is a trap for the two of them. No matter who they step on, they will become the biggest boss in the world and begin to slaughter and clear the field. In the end, no one can survive.

Of course, if they failed to live to the end and died halfway, that would be more in line with 'His' wishes.

Muta was luckier than Lu Si, because Lu Si stepped into that trap.

"God statue?"

Xie Jinxi dug out the mission requirements of their world, and found out that the mission did not require the statue to be brought into the temple at all, it just said that it was enough to enter the temple before midnight on the seventh day.

But the translation brother and the tribal leader said that they must enter the temple with the statue... Is it because they don't know the specific situation?

In the past that Xie Jinxi saw, the former leader, high priest, and tribesman either died in the mouth of a snake, or was killed by the resentful spirit of Lu Si.

The source of information for the new leader may be the only snake Wu Lusi who returned to the tribe alive, so it is said that he needs to take the statue to the temple.

Muta's words also confirmed his thoughts: "Our mission at the time was to bring the statue into the temple to lift the curse."

Xie Jinxi finally understood. In the scene he saw, when Lu Si snatched the statue from the high priest, it was covered with a cloth, and he didn't directly touch it with his bare hands.

That is to say, if you directly touch the idol, you will be cursed, but after being cursed, even through cloth or fur, as long as the idol is on that person, the curse will quickly develop to the final stage.

"But the god statue will accelerate the spread of the curse, and the high priest and tribal people who have not been cursed want to kill you to sacrifice to the snake god. This is an almost unsolvable dead end."

The reason why Xie Jinxi said that it was almost impossible to understand was because after all, there were other methods, which was to directly threaten and control a tribal person and let him bring a statue with them into the temple.

But Muta and Lu Si didn't know in advance that the god statue would accelerate the spread of the curse. After Lu Si touched the god statue, the real deadlock had already been formed, and even Muta was unable to escape.

At that time, Muta, who had realized that they had stepped into a trap, didn't actually expect to bring the statue into the temple, and he didn't even go to pick up the statue thrown by Lu Si.

He mainly wanted to tear more resentful souls from Lu Si. On the one hand, he tried to restore Lu Si to consciousness, and on the other hand, he wanted to activate the blood curse on his body to resist the spread of the curse of the snake god.

Now that the matter has come to this point, he does not expect to complete the task, so he can only take a risky move and give it a go.

Although Lu Si failed to regain consciousness, his own goal was achieved. He did use the blood curse to curb the spread of the curse of the snake god, but he became what he is today.

At that time, he fell into the river and almost passed out due to the pain of the conflict between the two curses. At that time, a cool and comfortable feeling poured into his body, temporarily relieving his pain.

Some kind of dark feeling made him feel that Lu Si was approaching, and at the same time, there was a voice telling him to go forward along the river, dive into the river and hide in the cave, so that he could escape from Lu Si's pursuit.

Exhausted, he followed the dark guidance, sneaked into the cave along the river, and then fell into a dormant state.

Muta is no longer considered a human being, and he has survived until now relying on the energy of resentful souls.After Xie Jinxi shared his feelings with him, he realized that he had waited for many years, and finally it was Xie Jinxi.

And when he attacked Xie Jinxi at first, it was purely out of instinct.

"I'm not awake all the time. I will instinctively prey on resentful souls. Only when resentful souls replenish my body and make the blood curse stronger can I break free from the snake's instinct for a short time."

It was only here that Xie Jinxi understood. At the beginning, he held the "broken resentful soul" in his hand and wanted to use it to deal with the giant python, but Muta in the cave regarded him as a "resentful soul" and preyed on him.

Fortunately, he directly patted the "broken resentful soul" on him, allowing him to regain some consciousness.

So, is this a closed loop?

Because he entered the cave and met Muta, he shared the feeling with Muta that he descended on him in the past to guide him and let Muta go to the cave to hide, so he met Muta in the current cave.

"Sure enough, all the witches can get are some revelations and hints, and they can't really predict the future."

Xie Jinxi also understands why Lu Si, who is obviously a stronger witch than him, will step into a trap and become a monster in the end, why he can tell Muta directly, but still needs him to change.

Because Lu Si only got some revelations about the future. The revelations may tell him that Xie Jinxi can save Muta, but he doesn't know exactly how Xie Jinxi will save Muta.

What witches can get are vague and uncertain revelations, and they can't even control whether the revelations are about themselves or others, instead of being able to calculate things that happen in the future like some magic calculations can claim.

"The past is the past, don't think about it anymore." Xie Jinxi then said helplessly, "Can you let me go?"

The opponent's arms full of strong muscles hugged his shoulders and neck, and there was a strange touch from the scales on the snake tail wrapped around his legs, and his upper body was pressed against him.

He was firmly trapped by the opponent's body. Although Muta's voice in his mind sounded rational and calm, the opponent's body seemed to be out of his control.In this situation, once the opponent's body exerts strength, it can instantly strangle him.

Xie Jinxi's heart beat fast all the time, reason told him that Muta was awake, but his instinct kept screaming for danger.

Muta let go of him after hearing this.

"Sorry, just now...that resentful soul is not enough to completely overwhelm my rationality, so there will be some offensive behavior."

Xie Jinxi inexplicably felt a little funny, although the voice sounded rational and calm, but the body was not controlled by rationality and followed instinctive activities, which gave Muta's voice a sense of pretending to be calm.

But having said that, Muta's current form...

Xie Jinxi couldn't help asking a key question: "Then what do you do now? Can you... can you still leave this world?"

In his mind, Muta was silent for a long time, and the slender tip of the snake tail that was about to move reluctantly entangled his ankle again, and then let go.

The strange, tall monster in front of Xie Jinxi was like an empty shell, and his soul was talking to himself.

Muta did not answer this question, but said: "The underground river in the depths of the cave is connected to the river outside. It is close to the temple. It can avoid the sneak attack of people and snakes in the forest. Let's go first."

Xie Jinxi didn't have to know the answer, he tacitly didn't ask any more, but nodded, and was dragged by Muta into the depths of the cave.

In the dark cave, only he and Muta walked towards the deeper darkness.

……

In the forest and under the cliff, after seeing the terrifying appearance of the Snake Witch, Zhuang Zheng and others ignored Xie Jinxi, who was being chased by the giant python, and fled towards the forest.

People's athletic ability is strong or poor, Zhuang Zheng can't take care of everyone, but because he and Ji Chuanmo were familiar with each other before and knew that her athletic ability is not good, so he took care of Ji Chuanmo for fear that she would run away up.

After running for a certain distance, Zhuang Zheng looked back but did not see the Snake Witch chasing him, so he stopped.

Except for Ji Chuanmo, only the newcomer who led the way followed. The other newcomer and the middle-aged woman who were holding his girlfriend's body couldn't keep up. It was unknown whether they ran away or were caught by the snake witch.

Ji Chuanmo was out of breath, stopped for a long time, and then said: "Is Zhao Wu crazy to grab the statue? The mission description didn't say that you must bring the statue into the temple. After all, this is his third In this world, why would he want to grab the idol?"

"He's not in a sane state," Zhuang Zheng shook his head, and asked Ji Chuanmo for a clean survival knife. His knife was stuck in the python's mouth and he couldn't get it back.

He wanted a knife because the wound on his arm full of snake teeth had healed miraculously. The snake teeth stuck in the flesh grew together with the new flesh, and some of the snake teeth were even wrapped in skin and flesh. Zhuang Zheng had no choice but to cut open again with a knife, and then pull out the snake's teeth.

"There is always a price to pay for raising a ghost. Ghosts are full of malice towards any living person, including their own host. Under the cliff is actually not the best time to tear your face. He could have killed the girl without doing anything at that time, probably Had to kill."

There is no need for Zhao Wu to tear his face at the bottom of the cliff. After all, he just made a vigilant movement during the rappelling, and there are really snakes over the waterfall.He has just entered the Snake Valley and has not yet reached the temple. Who knows what dangers there are in the Snake Valley, and there is no time when he has to tear his face.

But since killing Wang Hanchi until today, Zhao Wu has not been able to find another chance to kill.This made him anxious, and he was completely unaware that his malice was growing.

Immediately afterwards, he made a completely irrational decision, and was even misled to snatch the statue, completely forgetting the mission description.

Zhuang Zheng also remembered the human skin that protruded from Zhao Wu's collar, which should be what he offered.

It should be that the human skin couldn't help yearning for blood, which secretly affected Zhao Wu's consciousness.

As Zhuang Zheng said, the movements of his hands did not stop, and soon the snake's teeth were pulled out, and his arms became bloody again.

However, to the astonishment of the newcomer, the new wound on Zhuang Zheng's arm stopped bleeding immediately, and the rolled flesh healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Ji Chuanmo pretended not to see this scene at all, she looked up at the sky from between the canopy, and said, "The clouds are thickening, it's probably going to rain."

After treating the wound, Zhuang Zheng said: "Rain is not a good thing. There is still the last section of the road. Let's try to advance a certain distance before the rain falls."

Neither Ji Chuanmo nor the newcomer had any objections, and neither of them was going to find the missing Xie Jinxi and the other two who were separated.

The author has something to say: There are some bugs in the writing now, I will go back and fix them, if they are not serious and will not affect the plot, most of them are some details.
