Chapter 189? Curse: Moth's Knot

"...not quite right."

The four eyes narrowed slightly.

He vaguely sensed something was wrong. Although it is only an instant superhuman, the four dark engravings have already reached the silver level, and his perception attribute is not low.

It's not as simple as someone stalking you.

After he left the team, he vaguely felt a strange malice. He didn't go far before he felt a sense of discomfort gradually coming from his body.

To describe it, it's like having a cold and a fever. But the discomfort came so violently... In less than a minute, he felt a little shaky and dizzy.

He even felt his chest becoming more and more dull, and his breathing became difficult and sluggish. The limbs became heavier and heavier, and the skin of the whole body felt more and more intense neuralgia.

……wrong.

Si An moment suddenly reacted and glanced at his status bar.

Health: 85%

After about three or four seconds, the number dropped by 1%.

The moment he realized that he was really losing blood, Si An Mo immediately became vigilant.

He stood there and counted quietly.

After ten seconds, he lost 1% of his health; after another ten seconds, he lost another 1%.

... Is it precisely controlled at the dot that ticks every ten seconds?

Related to the number ten.

This should be the curse of the realm to which the moth mother belongs.

But what is the medium?

Why are you cursing me... no, I'll leave this issue alone for now.

Si Anke quickly calmed down and began to look around, looking for something related to the number ten.

At the same time, a thought came out of his mind and began to calculate:

——If you push back at this blood loss rate, it will start about five minutes after he leaves the main force...

Thinking of this, he stopped directly, and began to return to the same path with a stronger sense of illness.

He tried his best to keep his speed of movement consistent with when he came over.

And at the moment when his health dropped to 67%.

Si Anke clearly saw the abnormality - in a fish tank, a soaked hemp rope was thrown into it.

And this hemp rope has ten knots.

"……Knot?"

The four muttered in a low voice.

He remembered - the "knot" also seemed to act as a medium for a curse.

After Tasty Wind Goose shares many ritual theories, Si Anke finds strange similarities with some ancient ethnic customs on Earth. So he bought some folklore books some time ago to check the information.

The natives of the East Indies believed that "knotting" could tie the fetus inside the mother. It means that it can make her unable to give birth and difficult to give birth, or her body can recover very slowly after childbirth. So they believe that neither husband nor wife can "tie the knot" during pregnancy.

In some parts of Southeast Asia, when a mother gives birth, she will untie everything inside and outside the house - such as hair braids, shoelaces, cables, and also withdraw gunpowder from the gun chamber and lay down the arrows on the bow. , can't even sit cross-legged - because cross-legged is also a "knot".

Russians also use nets full of knots to fight wizards... This is also the case when Russian brides get married.

The reason for wearing a veil full of knots. This knot-laden headnet is believed by the Russians to be spell-resistant.

There are some wizards in the West African Ho who will use straw rope to tie a knot to curse the enemy. If they can't find the knot and untie it, they will always die of illness; the Qur'an also mentions "those who blow on the knot", It refers to the wizard who cursed others with knots, and even Muhammad was almost killed by this method. In the end, the archangel descended and directly helped him find the place where the knot was hidden. The French survived; They think that they can use knots to curse other people's unhappy marriages and make young couples fight... The specific form of expression is to make men unable to stand up.

Although this is a fairly common witchcraft, in this world, of all the types of rituals taught by the delicious wind goose, there are no rituals about "knotting".

So Si An Mo didn't care about this kind of thing at the time.

But when he sees this knot, it is still in the fish tank very unnaturally - you know, there are still live fish in this fish tank. Such a thick knot is still directly in the fish tank, and the direct water is polluted.

The shop owner did not respond to this at all, turning a blind eye.

Either he was with the attackers; or he was already being controlled.

So Si Anke didn't pay any attention to the shopkeeper at all, but directly pulled the hemp rope out of the fish tank.

...how to solve this thing?

Open the knot, or just cut it with a sword like Alexander...

Let's just be on the safe side.

"—Hey, what are you doing?"

At this moment, the shop owner rubbed his hands with a towel and scolded in a not very good tone: "Don't move that rope - put that thing back!"

It was a big man with dark skin and a thick body.

His eyes glowed bright brown—a testament to his pure-blooded underworld.

"……Oh?"

Si Anji heard the words, but suddenly became much calmer.

He thought he might be looking in the wrong direction before...

But if you say that, then I'm relieved.

So without hesitation, he reached out and opened the knots one by one. With each knot opened, he felt a slack in his body.

"Hey!"

When the shopkeeper saw this, he rushed over to stop him.

But don't wait for him to take a few steps forward.

The ground in front of him suddenly exploded - sticky orange flames, frantically spewing upwards in bundles.

In the miserable wailing sound, the man was burned to ashes by the raging fire in four or five seconds. Then the flames on the floor gradually dissipated.

——This is 【Flame Trap】.

One of Destroyer's exclusive skills, its appearance is a thin milky-white card, which will gradually turn black when activated, and will speed up the process very quickly when pressed by a heavy object.

Once completely black, a scorching beam of flame equivalent to the bronze-level destruction spell "Spray Flame" erupts, hot enough to scorch a person; to disarm the trap, wet the card with hot blood . Then rip him apart before it dries up.

Otherwise, even if it is cut off with a sword, the trap spell will be triggered immediately.

Before he rushed over, Si Anke threw it in front of him with his drooping hand. The moment the man walked over, he immediately triggered the trap—

At this time, the four dark moments have already opened all the knots.

He suddenly felt his body light up, and all the sudden discomfort was gone.

Really this problem.

Si Anke breathed a sigh of relief, and without thinking, threw the knot into the fire remaining on the corpse.

——Suddenly, a line of blood-red, scribbled characters suddenly appeared in front of Si Anke’s eyes, which made him shiver:

[Cursed Curse - Moth Knot]

The next moment, the rope that was scorched by the fire suddenly disintegrated into countless gray moths. They flapped their flaming wings and flew into the sky. But before flying far, they crashed one by one and fell to the ground, turning into piles of ashes.

And that burned hemp rope, there seems to be something in it...

Si Anke ignored the passers-by who fled in panic because the boss was suddenly killed, but squatted on the ground and took out the hemp rope after the flames went out.

He peeled off the black ash covering the hemp rope, revealing the golden threads inside.

It looks like hair, but it looks like very fine copper wire...

When Si Anqi came into contact with it, the system panel appeared in front of him:

【Young Hair (Residual)】

【Type: Material / Sundries (Blue)】

[Description: The hair of the old and young, treated with special medicine. It has been destroyed, but there are still usable spells remaining]

[Effect: The holder will suffer from the curse "Accelerated Aging"]

[Accelerated Aging: The aging speed of the holder is doubled]

... After the damage, there are still blue-level magical materials?

Si Anke's first reaction was "Shouldn't I fucking burn it", and then it was a little distressed. But he quickly reacted - the temperature of the flame was not high, and it was unlikely that it would burn it down.

It is estimated that because the "moth knot" was destroyed, part of the curse was destroyed.

...but he's a player?

He doesn't know the people here at all, so he can't have any grudges...

"Who... wants to kill me with such a big hand?"
