After Zhao Hai left, the entire Crystal Gorge fell into a deathly stillness. Only the sound of the cold wind blowing through the gorge could be heard.
Perhaps it was due to their mental state, but this familiar sound of the wind sounded exceptionally mournful in the ears of the cultivators.
Chu Chen looked all around and saw that most of the people in the team had expressions of unconcealable worry and panic.
Due to the discovery of the black ruins, Chu Chen's team of laborers had expanded from twenty to a hundred people. But in the past few days, because of the demonization, close to twenty people had died.
And now, only half of the original team of twenty people remained.
Even the most experienced green-robed old man had been affected. He was actually the backbone of the team, always calming everyone's emotions.
At this time, the team had already turned into a mass of scattered sand.
Everyone was vigilantly looking at the other cultivators in the team and keeping a distance, afraid that the people around them would immediately turn into crazy monsters.
Chu Chen closed his eyes. He was thinking of a way to solve this problem.
He had always felt that all problems could be solved, but now, he couldn't even find the crux of the problem.
The little hamster had already been missing for several days. Really, it was really unreliable at such an important time.
"Did you miss me?"
The little hamster's elusive voice suddenly transmitted through the soul.
It seemed to be hiding in the void.
"Don't pretend to be mysterious. Come out, I have something to ask you."
Chu Chen transmitted his voice into the void.
"Sorry, I can't do that for now … But I know what you want to ask. This thing might be able to help you …"
At the same time that the little hamster transmitted its voice, a dazzling golden grain of rice fell out of the void.
Chu Chen picked it up. This rice-sized thing actually weighed over fifty kilograms, which was beyond his expectations.
After scanning it with his spiritual sense, he discovered that it was made of some kind of mineral that was neither gold nor jade.
It contained a terrifying amount of energy!
This small piece of ore was simply a sea of energy, a spiritual sea of energy.
"Now, I don't need to introduce you. You should know that this thing can help you. Consuming it can help you increase your spiritual power by a hundred times. Try it, maybe you can find the truth you want."
Soon, the little hamster disappeared as though it had never appeared.
Chu Chen couldn't be bothered to deal with it. He directly pressed "Xiaomi" between his palms. Although the crystal shackles could seal spiritual energy, they couldn't seal spiritual energy.
Sensing the scorching heat between his palms, Chu Chen felt as if his entire body was about to combust!
Chu Chen's spiritual sense had reached an unparalleled level. It was as if it could cover the entire crystal gorge in an instant. He used this vast soul force to precisely sweep through the void.
At this moment, Chu Chen had also made up his mind. He had to find out what was going on with this strange curse. Therefore, he scanned the area with his spiritual perception very carefully.
He frantically scanned the entire Crystal Gorge, not letting go of a single suspicious spot.
Shua! Shua! Shua!
It could only be said that this "Xiaomi" was too abnormal. When Chu Chen's spiritual perception scanned the area around the mutated woman who had died not long ago, her hair suddenly turned into a blood colored waterfall, he keenly felt a trace of abnormality.
There was an extremely faint and strange aura in the air. It was on this female cultivator who was currently being stuffed into a body bag. On the other side, it was also on the body of the Blood Whip cultivator who had been chopped into several pieces.
It was a special aura. This aura was as thin as a gossamer. With Chu Chen's normal spiritual perception, he couldn't detect it.
With the support of "Xiaomi", Chu Chen found it!
It was formless and intangible. Rather than calling it an aura, it was better to call it a strand of karma. A strand of karma that was tainted with death, blood, and brutality.
This trapping fruit was similar to the trapping fruit in the billowing black gas emitted from the black building, but it seemed to have been activated!
This strand of karma was extremely thin, but it was also exceptionally long.
Chu Chen's spiritual perception spread along the two ends of this thin thread. After carefully tracking it for the time it took to brew a cup of tea, he finally discovered its source … This death karmic energy actually came from the super giant pit he had dug.
It came from the huge Mountain Swallowing Nether Dragon's head in the huge pit!
This, this … was really some kind of curse power from the Mountain Swallowing Nether Dragon's building?
Chu Chen was greatly shocked. After carefully investigating with his spiritual perception, another discovery made him feel as if a basin of ice water had been poured over his head.
There were more karma of death seeping out of the Mountain Swallowing Nether Dragon's statue. Strictly speaking, the entire mining area had been covered by layers of karma so thin that it was impossible to detect it. Everyone was tainted with karma of death!
This death … had already enveloped the heads of all the cultivators!
Chu Chen's eyes instantly narrowed. This karma of death, to be precise, was a death curse that had infected everyone. Even he was within the range of these extremely thin strands.
Clearly, these curses all came from the black relic statue that their team had excavated!
This ancient stone temple with the Mountain Swallowing Nether Dragon's statue … just what was its origin?
Chu Chen quickly calmed himself down and told himself that he still had to think of a way to get rid of this curse.
Thoughts flashed through his mind. After a moment of silence, his vast and majestic soul power floated in the void as he attempted to remove the trace of the Death Curse.
Soon, his entire face froze.
The aura formed by the death curse was extremely thin. It felt like weak spider silk that could be easily removed, but in reality, these thin strands seemed real yet illusory at the depths of his soul.
The vast spiritual power rushed near the thin strands, but it was like touching a shadow. It couldn't be removed at all!
It couldn't be removed, nor could it be removed. These death curses ignored all spiritual power and spiritual perception attacks. They were like indestructible substances!
Whoosh!
In the depths of Chu Chen's spiritual sea, the fire seed that belonged to the Heaven Realm Divine Fire began to burn fiercely, causing him to feel a scorching heat in his body.
He could clearly feel that under the burning of the Heaven Realm Divine Fire, the strands formed by the death curse seemed to have suffered some damage.
However, those strands didn't disappear. Instead, as if they had a life of their own, they took the initiative to wrap around him.
Although the Heaven Realm Divine Fire was incomparably tyrannical and could burn all things in the world, it still needed Chu Chen's cultivation base as a foundation.
With his current cultivation base, he naturally couldn't make the Heaven Realm Divine Fire erupt with much power.
With the current Heaven Realm Divine Fire, it also couldn't completely stop the corrosion of the death curse!
Seven days, at most seven days!
Chu Chen confirmed that the current Heaven Realm Divine Fire could only protect him from being devoured by the curse for seven days.
After seven days, the death curse would also explode on his body!
Big trouble!
