The Cursed Ship

"Maybe I shouldn't have asked you here. I've been fooled since I discovered that you can attract those evil monsters."

Tennok took out a compass, stuffed it back into his pocket as he spoke, and dug out again, taking out an ancient brass pocket watch.

Zheng Yang supported the raft to prevent it from retreating, but he did not move forward for the time being. He watched Tennok's movements and said, "Why do you say that?"

"Because there is actually a demon spirit living in that lucky compass. It is also attracted by your curse, but it can't escape from the compass, so it points to you."

"At that time, I was asking it, which extraordinary person present could bring me luck... I thought it was guiding me, so it chose you as a teammate!"

Zheng Yang was speechless for a moment, so he could only comfort him:

"Don't worry, choosing me as your teammate is the most correct decision for you!"

Tennok was noncommittal, and reluctantly handed the copper pocket watch to Zheng Yang: "This is just a nun's pocket watch, take it with you, it can suppress the curse!"

"Which nun's?" Zheng Yang took the pocket watch and asked subconsciously.

"How do I know? It's called—the nun's pocket watch!"

Zheng Yang looked at this ancient pocket watch. It was very ordinary, but it was still beeping. But since Zheng Yang took it over, he felt a little lighter for no reason.

"Thank you for your trust, Tennok, I will return it to you as soon as I get out of here, I promise!"

Zheng Yang put away his pocket watch and continued to propel the raft forward.

This section of the river is really long, with twists and turns and a depth of at least three kilometers.

When there was a little light ahead, the depth of the water suddenly increased sharply, the river suddenly opened up, and the ceiling of the cave above reached a height of more than ten meters.

This is a huge underground water pool. The wooden pole in Zheng Yang's hand can't reach the bottom at all, so he can only advance along the side of the cave wall.

The two of them saw the bright light ahead. It was a half-moon-shaped hole, five meters wide, located in a lake.

Just as excitement arose in Zheng Yang and Tenok, the water around them suddenly surged violently. The next moment, two triangular-shaped snake heads poked out of the water, raised them high, and spitting snake letters at the two of them.

"Fuck!"

Zheng Yang exclaimed subconsciously.

It was a giant two-headed python. The snake's head was thicker than their waists. The three-meter-long neck was connected to the same snake's body. Its barbed and sharp fangs were comparable to Zheng Yang's forearm.

Zheng Yang was sure that the huge double-headed poisonous python was not attracted by the curse on his body, because he didn't have any warning in his heart.

If it wasn't for the curse, Zheng Yang wouldn't have received an early warning. This has been verified a long time ago.

The scale-armored monster was summoned, and flew up from the darkness to the top of the cave to lie dormant, waiting for an opportunity to move.

It is beetle-shaped, covered with pitch-black scales, over forty centimeters long, and about thirty centimeters thick. Its head is also twenty centimeters in size, and its mouthparts are larger than its head when it is opened.

Six long and thick jointed limbs, with sharp front ends and barbs, can not only provide the scaled monster with strong jumping power, but also easily tear its prey into pieces.

It is no longer the little cicada that can be crushed to death with one finger.

The psionic energy in Tenok's body surged wildly, ready to strike.

Almost at the same time, the giant poisonous python opened its two big mouths, as fast as lightning, and bit at Tenok and Zheng Yang at the same time.

The broad sword shot out a five-meter-long vindictiveness, slashing the slender part under the snake's head.

"Pfft~"

The scales on the poisonous python's neck were tough, and the sharp fighting spirit sword only cut a two-inch deep wound.

The snake head of the poisonous python was deflected by the force of the blow, and the snake head that was biting Tennok swayed to the direction facing Zheng Yang. water surface.

And the head of the snake that was biting Zheng Yang,

The same was taken aside.

"Kach~"

"Open your mouth wide!"

Zheng Yang put the enchanted bullet on the shotgun and reminded Tennok at the same time. Hearing the sound of the shotgun being loaded and loaded and Zheng Yang's reminder, Tenok immediately opened his mouth wide.

The next moment, Zheng Yang locked onto the giant mouth of the poisonous python and pulled the trigger decisively.

"Boom~"

In the almost closed waterway, the sound of gunfire was more terrifying than the sound of artillery, and the roof of the cave seemed to be shaking.

Fortunately, there is water below, which can absorb sound waves and reduce echoes. Zheng Yang and Tennok opened their mouths ahead of time, so their eardrums were not broken.

But they still feel buzzing in their heads.

The poisonous python ate a shotgun at close range, and more than a dozen pellets penetrated the upper jaw and entered the brain, detonated in the poisonous python's head, and flames sprayed out from the poisonous python's mouth.

The head of the snake that was shot fell back high, and then hit the raft.

The head of the other snake twisted wildly, and the snake's body, whose length was unknown, was also stirring under the water.

At this moment, Tenok's fighting spirit long sword slashed at the junction of the two snake necks with all its strength.

puff~

The blade of the sword penetrated nearly a foot.

The poisonous python struggled more violently, and seemed to flee away from the raft.

Zheng Yang's eyes lit up, knowing that the time has come!

As soon as he had a thought, the scaled monster turned into a black lightning, shot into the wound between the necks of the two snakes, and began to devour it from the inside.

Below that position is the heart of the poisonous python.

Immediately, the poisonous python struggled even more frantically, and the turbulent waves at the mouth of this wide waterway almost broke the raft to pieces.

"what is that?"

Tenok lowered his body and lowered his center of gravity, and asked in shock.

"A big bug, let's get out!"

Zheng Yang used the wooden pole to support the cave wall again, and Tennok also squatted down, using the broadsword as an oar with one hand to paddle vigorously. Immediately, the raft quickly approached the front exit.

Finally, the raft left the waterway and passed through the half-moon-shaped hole.

This is a lake hundreds of meters wide. The mouth of the channel they just came out of is just under a steep mountain by the lake, with a cliff hundreds of meters high overhead.

Except for the waves caused by the struggle of the poisonous python at the mouth of the waterway, the entire lake is as calm as a mirror. The lake is so deep that you can't see the bottom at all.

Zheng Yang and Tenok continued to push the boat hard, and gradually reached the shore along the edge of the cliff.

They couldn't wait to jump ashore and drag the raft away from the lake, feeling a sense of happiness for the rest of their lives.

But soon, the two were shocked by the environment here again.

The sky here is a mirror-like dome, only a few hundred meters high, emitting eternal sunlight. Apart from the lake and the mountain peak, there is only a narrow circle of land surrounding the lake, with a width of less than 100 meters.

A hundred meters away is the edge of the dome.

On this circle of land, there are gray-white tombs built with unknown materials, and a gray-white cross stands in front of each tomb.

A ring of graves, facing the lake and the bare mountain.

There were no trees, no bushes of wildflowers, no plants of any kind.

It was very dead silent, as if it had been like this since ancient times.

Zheng Yang swallowed his saliva, exchanged a glance with Tenok, and looked up at the top of the cliff at the same time.

What will be on it?
