Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster.

Chapter 568: Suger's Torture

"Hanging Skull Harbor..."

“I didn’t expect there was such a place.”

"There must be some huge secrets in here. Maybe there is a time core... I have to write down the approximate location."

Roger was also paying attention to Li Miao's journey at this time.

After all, his journey this time was following the Cremation, completely out of the influence range of the spirit candle. The help that the spirit candle could provide was very limited and very dangerous. If there was any accident, Rogge would be able to pull back his soul protection in the first time.

But with danger comes reward.

Just like this Hanging Skull Harbor.

This is not only a special area, but also has almost "rules" in place.

Hanging the head and making a wish to get a reward... this is a really good thing.

So Rogge planned to find a chance to go in and take a look after Li Miao and others left. If it was really that powerful, he would personally hunt down the strongest head to make a wish.

However, the specific situation will depend on what happens to Li Miao next.

Besides that, there is one more thing.

That's about the Cremation.

"The curse of immortality requires the harvesting of pure souls, and specifically seeks people with a sense of justice like Zered to do this..."

Roger pondered as he recalled the past.

Curse easily reminds people of the profession of curse master on Zhuxin Island today.

But the curses that the curse masters can use are completely not on the same level as the curse of the Cremation.

Even the non-youth version of the curse in Roger's hands cannot do this.

This made Rogge think again of some information he got from the curse master's handwriting and other books.

It is said that the source of the power of curse is not actually the curser.

The reason why there is the profession of Curse Master is actually because gifted beings developed a power system after observing some powerful "rituals".

And Rogge had heard the word "ceremony" many times, such as the "coronation ceremony" that a group of nobles in the imperial city-state of Ishamud tried to use, or... the fire ceremony?
In any case, these rituals all possess extremely powerful powers that can turn decay into magic.

Therefore, Rogge is actually more inclined to believe that Zered should be trapped in a "ritual" rather than a "curse". After all, even he himself does not understand it, so the name is naturally a bit confusing.

Is there any way to extinguish the Cremation Candle?

After all, Li Miao will definitely ask him about the relevant situation when he comes back.

If it is outside the control area of ​​the spirit candle, Rogge is not sure, but if it is within the control area, then he is still sure.

But he didn't think the ceremony would be so simple. It was possible that the Cremation would refuse to enter Zhuxin Island...

In short, let’s focus on the present.

Rogge left a glimpse of his eyes on Li Miao...

……

"Why do I always feel like someone is watching me?"

After looking around for a while, Li Miao frowned and scratched his head, feeling a strange feeling in his heart.

At this time, the black fog no longer tightly surrounded him, but just lingered near him. Although visibility was not high, it would not affect his progress.

At this moment, he was in an area similar to a mudflat. Every move he made would stir up turbid mud. The mud contained some blood and rotten corpses of frogs, and no one knew what was mixed in it.

Although he hadn't encountered any monsters yet, Li Miao didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that something was staring at him.

"Finally found you, the candlelight warrior..."

As the hoarse voice sounded, Li Miao's inexplicable feeling became a reality at this moment.

In the muddy tidal flat, a decayed canine corpse suddenly had a strange light in its eyes, and its mouth opened and closed, as if it was supported by an unknown force. Li Miao raised his frost lance and uttered a dull voice from under his visor: "Who are you?"

"Keher the Uncorrupted."

The staggering corpse shook off the heavy mud on its body.

"Please don't do it. I have no ill will towards you, and we have no conflict of interest."

"If you knock this body away, I will have to spend a long time looking for it again."

There was sincerity in the Uncorrupted's hoarse voice.

Hearing this, Li Miao also remembered the figure on the giant coffin and Zered's words, and his vigilance relaxed a little.

Just now he was curious about how the other party could be so confident that he could find him.

Now it seems that the other party found him through some special abilities.

"Oh it's you."

"You can actually avoid the restrictions of this black fog?" Li Miao lowered the tip of his gun and asked curiously.

"It's just about establishing connections with some corpses, not avoiding restrictions." The Immortal shook his head and explained.

Seeing this, Li Miao hesitated for a moment and said, "...If you have something to say, just say it. What do you want to talk to me about?"

Or to be more precise, the Immortals should be here to find Zhuxin Island, and Li Miao understood this very well.

Upon hearing this, the Uncorrupted One did not give a direct answer, but instead asked Li Miao a question: "I wonder how Captain Zered told you about me?"

Li Miao frowned slightly when he heard this, but he still told the other party what Zered said, especially the sentence "it shouldn't have existed in the first place".

Hearing this, the Uncorrupted smiled and said, "He is still the same as before, not changed at all. No wonder the Xugyuers chose him."

Hearing this, Li Miao paused, then stared at him.

"Wait a minute?"

"Same as before? Xugyuer? What does that mean?"

"You seem to know a lot about Zerred... and the curse on him?"

Li Miao has a strong ability to perceive the underlying meaning in other people's words, and he associated these two points almost instantly.

The Immortal on the other side obviously did not hide his meaning, but nodded calmly and continued to tell the story.

"Zered doesn't know me very well, but I have been observing him."

"The source of the curse on Zered and the Cremation... is Xugyuul."

"They are ominous beings that play with people's hearts and souls, and draw power from them."

"The reason why Zedrede was chosen is because of his sense of justice and responsibility that he has always upheld."

"Because of this, Zered would rather die than let the curse of the Cremation go out of control and affect more innocent people... So Xugyuer used the curse to force him to do these things that he was unwilling to do even if he died."

"During his inner struggle, Xugyuer benefited a lot. This gain was even greater than the sacrifice of a pure soul..."

After hearing the words of the Immortal.

Li Miao suddenly understood.

He was surprised when he first heard the details of the curse.

Since it requires the sacrifice of souls, why is there a bottom line? From the perspective of the beneficiaries, isn't the more the better?

Now it seems.

In fact, the curse is not aimed at the pure soul at all. This thing is just a bonus.

Its real purpose is to torture Zered's heart!
