Chapter 102: The Curse Book
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Curse Book?”
Li Yi was stunned as he took the black cover Curse Book from Zimu Wutong’s hand.
It was a valuable book from the Evil God’s sect which was also a quest item called the Curse Book (Part One). They could enable the quest just by flipping it open.
“Are we really this lucky...” Li Yi shook his head in disbelief.
The Curse Book (Part One) was considered to be a rare item and it was incredibly hard to obtain. It could be only obtained from the blue robe Cursing Disciple at a very low drop rate. It could be used to activate a series of quests related to the Cursing Sect.
Some people had tried to hunt it for years but to no avail. Luck was indeed unstoppable when it decided to shine.
“What’s wrong big brother. Is this item very expensive?”
Li Yi laughed. “It’s not that it’s not expensive. Rather, there’s no market for it even if it has a price. This item is much rarer than purple equipment.”
“Are you serious?” Zimu Wutong’s jaw dropped.
“We will invite a few more people to the party after we head back and start this quest together. You’ll understand when the time comes.”
Li Yi put away the Curse Book (Part One).
The blue robe elite had only dropped this Curse Book and nothing else.
Worth it!
Li Yi’s mood was extremely good as he opened up the blue treasure map. He then moved about slowly as he compared to the marking shown on it.
“This is it. We’re here.”
Li Yi clicked on the digging option.
System Notification: [You kept digging and digging. To your surprise, you have discovered a treasure hidden by the monsters. There is a heavy treasure chest in it and you have spent all your energy in pulling the treasure chest up. You opened it up with extreme excitement...]
“Boom!”
A cloud of black smoke appeared as Li Yi’s and the rest’s HP had dropped by half in an instant.
System Notification: [The items inside the treasure chest had already rotten. You are now poisoned...]
All four of their HPs kept dropping. Fire Ice kept healing and the poison effect had finally disappeared after three minutes or so.
“What the hell. We almost died. Big Brother, are you the one who dig this deep hole?” Zimu Wutong stared at the big hole on the ground in shock.
“Yes...”
Li Yi did not say another word as he brought out the Mutated Little Wild Boar to lead the way.
He managed to dig up a poison barrier from a blue treasure map. It looked like his luck did not seem to fare well.
However, he was not worried as he still had another gold treasure map. He might dig up a chest with purple equipment with his shovel...
After killing three red robe Cursing Disciples, a lonely green rare elite appeared right in front of them.
“Attack!”
The chest’s drop rate from the rare elite was much higher than the boss. Li Yi would never miss such an opportunity as Qingshui Wutong immediately rushed forward after hearing Li Yi’s command.
The Green Robe only had about 30,000 HP and was an expert in summoning type Curse Spell. It muttered all day long with both of its hands hidden within the robe as a streak of green light appeared from the ground, summoning at least ten yellow robe Cursing Disciples.
Mass Provoke, Shield Wall and Thunder Strike were calmly used by Qingshui Wutong as she pulled all of the summoned monsters to her side.
The green robe rare elite would never attack and would only keep chanting curses to summon monsters. It could not be interrupted and the yellow robes would appear endlessly if the green robe was not killed quickly.
“Drink a Fury Potion and give it your all!”
The yellow robe monsters appeared more and more and the green robe rare elite still had about 10,000 HP left. The party would be easily wiped out if it was not killed soon.
“Solid Ice!”
As Zimu Wutong was about to die, Li Yi ordered his Mutated Little Wild Boar to use its ultimate suicidal skill.
All yellow robe monsters immediately shifted their target to the Mutated Little Wild Boar which was in the invincible state.
[Miss!]
[Miss!]
[Miss!]
All of their attacks missed no matter how much they tried!
Zimu Wutong had recovered back her HP while the Mutated Little Wild Boar fulfilled its order as it cried out its last breath before falling down to the ground.
Qingshui Wutong was in a very dire situation as she was surrounded by at least 20 yellow robe monsters. Fire Ice was not able to keep up with her healing.
Li Yi retreated back quickly and played dead as he fell to the ground until the System Notification rang by his ears. [You have successfully broken away from combat.] It was only then he decided to stand back up.
“Explosive Ape!”
The Explosive Ape roared arrogantly as it rushed into the group of yellow robe monsters after Li Yi blew a whistle.
Although the Explosive Ape did not have any skills to provoke, it would hit anyone. Its ATK was incredibly high and soon shifted all of the yellow robe monsters’ aggro to him.
Qingshui Wutong’s stress had decreased immensely as the health bar on top of her head had started to increase slowly.
“Long live the Evil God! Long live the Evil God!”
The green robe rare elite started chanting its curse as it raised its hands up high, attempting to sacrifice itself and self-destruct.
All four of them stopped attacking the yellow robe monsters immediately and used their strongest skills that they had long prepared for the green robe rare elite.
It almost successfully self-destructed.
“Screech!”
The Explosive Ape used Enhanced Charge towards Qingshui Wutong. Li Yi immediately dismissed it but he was too late. An amazing [-555] critical hit appeared on top of Qingshui Wutong’s head before she fell to the ground and breathed her last breath.
As the green robe rare elite died, the yellow robe monsters disappeared as well.
Fire Ice cast a Resurrection Spell to resurrect Qingshui Wutong.
“I thought I was gonna lose some EXP. How terrifying.” Qingshui Wutong patted her small chest as she gave herself some courage to search the corpse.
Qingshui Wutong reached out her hand to loot the monster and all four of them had received another System Notification. [Your party member has obtained a Curse Book from the green robe Cursing Disciple.]
“...Again?” Li Yi was astounded.
[A valuable book from the Evil God’s sect called the Curse Book (Part Three). Quest item. The quest can only be activated by possessing Part One of the Curse Book.]
‘Doesn’t this luck defy all odds?’
It was an incredible feat that they had obtained Part One of the Curse Book. In his past life where King of Pantheon had been in service for eight years, less than one thousand people had obtained the third part of the Curse Book from the green robe rare elite.
Qingshui Wutong asked. “Can we merge these two together?”
Li Yi nodded.
The Curse Book was separated into three parts, mainly Part One, Two, and Three. They would only require Part One to activate the quest. However, the quest reward would be different for owning only one part and owning all parts. They could only activate the quest by owning one of it. By owning two parts, the reward would be more enticing than owning one part and the quest would reward them the most if they had all three parts.
Qingshui Wutong was ecstatic. “So we’re still lacking Part Two? Which color of these monsters drop it?”
“The black and white bosses.” Li Yi gave a slight smile as he added on. “It will definitely drop!”
“Yeah...” Qingshui Wutong was so excited that she did a victory pose.
“It’s too soon to be happy. The black and white bosses are not that easily killed.”
Qingshui Wutong and Zimu Wutong placed their hands at their hips at the same time. “We sisters are the tanks. We will kill the Gods and Buddha if they are in our way.”
“Let’s go. There are definitely things for you to kill.”
Li Yi resurrected the Mutated Little Wild Boar and ordered it to probe the path.
...
Perverted Brother and Single Handsome Man returned back as they reported that their ambush had failed and was killed instead. Hua Feihua was furious and immediately changed Perverted Brother and Single Handsome Man’s position to Little Daisy, which was the lowest rank for guild members. She then immediately contacted her younger brother Hua Feiwu.
“Brother. I need you to kill someone for me.”
“Who?”
“Dark Wing. He... He bullied me.” Hua Feihua wanted to say that he had snatched her tiger away but she immediately recalled the stern warning from Yang Xingchen and quickly changed her statement.
“Wh... What? He bullied you? How did he bully you?” Hua Feihu started to panic.
“You know. He had done perverted stuff towards me. Sigh, I don’t care. Brother, I want you to help me kill him. Kill him until he becomes a pet.”
“Oh...” Hua Feiwu gave out a long sigh and was silent for a while before he responded. “Sister, I think you should just forget about it. It’s not a big issue and he didn’t do anything to you. There’s no need to be hostile towards him.”
“You... You make me feel so mad.” Hua Feihua ended the conversation angrily.
She could no longer send people from Savage Tribe as the members were busy researching the Battle Tactics in clearing the Death of a King lately. The guild’s elites had all gathered up and no one could command them other than Milk Dipper Solitary.
What else can she do!
Hua Feihua was so furious that her body trembled when she recalled her beloved big tiger being snatched away by him. She thought day and night and she thought of a person that she was sure that would help her even though she had only met the person once.
Hua Feihua immediately sent a message toward him. “Wang’er, what are you up to?”
...
Li Yi and his party’s progression had become slower and slower.
The red robe Cursing Disciples along the way had become more and more concentrated and the Curse Spells planted on the ground had become more frequent as well.
Black mist could be seen everywhere and they could not see anything that was more than ten meters away. Li Yi knew very well that the Evil God Altar was nearby.
The leader of the Curse Land, the black and white bosses were spawned at the Evil God Altar. The excavation site shown on the gold treasure map was nearby there as well.
The Mutated Little Wild Boar was unfortunately hit by the Gigantified Curse Spell. However, due to Li Yi’s quick reaction, he was, fortunately, able to dismiss it in time.
The Mutated Little Wild Boar’s avatar now had a red skull symbol on it. It was the marking caused by the Curse Spell and it could not be summoned temporarily. The Curse Spell would automatically disappear after half an hour.
Without the Mutated Little Wild Boar to probe the path, the four of them had no choice but to give up on moving forward and sat on the ground to rest.
It had been about 12 hours since they had entered the Curse Land and they had earned countless rewards. One of the rewards was a gold equipment Horn Helmet compatible with the main tank and it had been snatched up by Qingshui Wutong.
Li Yi did not need any of the white and blue equipment as his GS had reached 900+. Why did he still need the equipment that he had yet to be able to equip?
“The strategy in fighting the black and white bosses are similar to the blue robe elites. We need to pull them apart to prevent them from healing each other. There is also one thing that we need to be aware of. These two bosses will chant their curses alternatively and we must not attack them while they’re chanting or tens of Yellow Robes would appear with every hit.”
“Furthermore, these two bosses possess a symbiotic attribute and they must be killed within 12 seconds between each other. Once 12 seconds have passed from one of them being killed, the one that was killed would revive with full HP.”
In order to ensure there was no mishaps during the boss raid, Li Yi explained the way to fight the black and white bosses to the other three patiently.
Symbiotic, Group Curse and Infinite Resurrection were all overpowered skills that were under the black and white bosses’ belt. It would be impossible for the players to kill them without knowing the battle strategy.
The three bosses in the Wild Beast Plain were like cute little monsters as compared to these two black and white bosses as the former bosses could be killed without moving an inch if the players had the necessary equipment.
Li Yi called out the Mutated Little Wild Boar and continued their journey half an hour later.
After a while, a black giant stone which was cut into an altar appeared in their sights. Above the altar were the black and white bosses kneeling down as they prayed sincerely towards the ferocious Evil God’s statue which stood before them.
Li Yi opened the gold treasure map and was ecstatic as he looked at the marked spot.
The mark that was shown on the treasure map was ten meters in front of their location and there was not a single monster within sight.
Li Yi walked towards the excavation site.
System Notification: [You kept digging and digging. To your surprise, you have discovered a treasure hidden by the monsters. There is a heavy treasure chest in it and you have spent all your energy in pulling the treasure chest up. You opened it up with extreme excitement...]
A chain of cheery music rang as Li Yi’s mind was jolted.
[You have obtained a gold quality Rechargeable Breastplate from the treasure chest...]
[You have obtained another gold quality Vile Shorts from the treasure chest...]
[You are on a streak as you have obtained another gold quality Black Tube Boots from the treasure chest...]
[You are on a streak as you have obtained another gold quality Succubus Long Whip from the treasure chest...]
