I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 404 The Temple Deep in the Amazon

Miracle Building.

Inside the small restaurant on the rooftop.

Looking at Kiris, who had a faint smell of blood on her body, Erin frowned slightly.

Then, with a wave of his hand, a ball of holy light radiating a gentle aura landed on Kiris.

After the holy white light dissipated, the smell of blood on Kiris's body faded considerably, and even her somewhat pale complexion improved a lot.

"What happened to your injury?"

After hearing Erin's words, Kiris, whose injuries had been healed and who felt much more relaxed, parted her lips and said, "When I was trying to assassinate that guy named Teslak, I was a little careless and was countered by some of the arrangements in his room, which caused my old injuries to flare up."

Erin raised an eyebrow upon hearing this: "An old injury recurring? Those giant serpents deep in the Amazon?"

Gillies nodded first, then shook her head, a hint of lingering fear flashing in her eyes as she said, "That godforsaken place, the Amazon, is dangerous for more than just those terrifying giant pythons. If Dr. Banner hadn't lost his temper this time, I almost wouldn't have made it back."

Hearing this, Erin, who was pouring a glass of orange juice into her cup, paused, then looked at Kiris with some surprise and said:

"What happened?"

After hearing Erin's words, Kiris did not answer immediately.

Instead, he got up and took a bottle of chilled bourbon from the food delivery cart next to him.

After pouring herself a full glass of bourbon and drinking it down in one gulp, Kiris calmed herself down and slowly said, "In fact, before we encountered that place we named Misty Serpent Valley, we had encountered several dangers in the Amazon rainforest. Compared to human society, that remote and untouched rainforest was even more dangerous than the human world."

"Aside from some indigenous tribes with ill intentions who seem to have mastered some kind of strange methods, many plants and animals in the depths of the Amazon rainforest have undergone mutations, and some of them even make Dr. Banner and I feel dangerous."

"If it weren't for my and Dr. Banner's repeated warnings along the way, it would be questionable whether those idiots in the military would have even made it to the Valley of the Serpents."

"Of course, compared to the dangers in Snake Valley, the dangers we encountered before seem to be nothing."

At this point, Gillies glanced at Erin and said, "Do you know what we discovered deep within Serpent Valley?"

What was discovered?

Looking at Kiris's shifty eyes, Erin casually guessed, "What else could be in Serpent Valley? A lost civilization, or some kind of temple ruins?"

As soon as Erin finished speaking, Kiris's body trembled slightly, and then she looked at Erin with an incredulous expression, saying, "How did you know there was a temple inside? Or did you find out something through divination before I returned?"

It's not just temple ruins.

According to Dr. Banner, the temple was likely a remnant of a lost civilization.

And all of this happened exactly as Erin had predicted.

As a fellow extraordinary being in the Potions Sequence, Kiris was well aware of the power and wonder of the Potions Sequence.

So after Erin revealed all this, she subconsciously connected it all with Erin's divination abilities.

"Fortune telling?"

Looking at Kiris, whose eyes still held a hint of surprise, Erin shook her head: "No, I was just guessing."

Just guessing?

Do you think I believe that?

After giving Kiris a look that clearly showed disbelief, she ignored Erin and gathered her thoughts before saying seriously, "Deep in that Serpent Valley, there is a dilapidated temple built of rock, and around that temple grows countless blood orchids."

"Dr. Banner and I suspected that the secret of the Blood Orchid was related to that temple, so we sneaked into the temple after the military soldiers left."

"But we had only just entered the temple, and before we could even get a good look at the surroundings, something with white wings, like the feathered serpent from legend, shot out from the mouth of a giant serpent statue in the temple and attacked me and Dr. Banner."

At this point, Gillies pointed to her left chest and said, "That feathered serpent was incredibly fast. If Dr. Banner hadn't reacted in time and blocked it for me, I would have been pierced through the chest in one fell swoop. Even so, it still managed to break several of my ribs with one of its tails."

"Fortunately, that feathered serpent seemed to be affected by some unknown force and could not go too far from the temple. After Dr. Banner and I escaped from the temple, although it was very angry, it could only keep roaring around the edge of the temple. Otherwise, given the speed of that feathered serpent, it is not certain whether Dr. Banner and I would have been able to come back alive."

"Oh, right, that feathered serpent also seemed to have the ability to control giant pythons. Although it didn't continue the pursuit in the end, its roars drove countless giant pythons to chase after me and Dr. Banner."

"Yes, that's why the giant pythons in Snake Valley went berserk. Apart from the blood orchids that Dr. Banner and I brought out, the military sent several more groups of people, but they couldn't bring out another blood orchid from the depths of Snake Valley. Instead, they lost a lot of manpower as a result."

"I reckon that's probably why those guys in the military are keeping an eye on the remaining Blood Orchids in Dr. Banner's possession..."

Upon hearing this, Erin looked at him with an expression of "I see."

It seems that besides being envious of the Miracle Group's profits and the miraculous effects of the Miracle Elixir, the Blood Orchids were also a significant contributing factor to the military's attack on the Miracle Group this time.

It wasn't just a mere excuse, as Erin had previously thought.

After pouring herself another glass of bourbon and letting the icy liquid moisten her somewhat dry throat, Kiris suddenly chuckled.

"However, what those idiots in the military don't know is that the blood orchids Dr. Banner carried were just some inferior ones that he casually picked up from the ground when we left Snake Valley."

"I brought back all the blood orchids that we actually picked and put them in the laboratory on the third basement floor."

Looking at that smile that exuded amazing charm and made the whole room pale in comparison, Erin stared at Kiris in surprise.

This charm seems to come naturally.

That girl, Kiris, she digests [witch] potions pretty quickly.

How exactly did this guy manage to play the role?

Could it have been contributed by the captain?

Gently banishing the thought from her mind, Erin said, "Let's not rush the Blood Orchid matter. We can talk about it after Dr. Banner and Betty return. But what's with that curse on you? Don't tell me you haven't even noticed those two curses yet?"

While healing Kiris with holy light, Erin keenly sensed that several cursed auras were swirling around Kiris's body.

Yes, not one, but two.

With such an obvious aura of curse, Erin couldn't believe that Kiris hadn't noticed.

The Witch is one of the few potion-making pathways that excels in dark magic.

Upon hearing Erin's words, Kiris showed a helpless expression.

"Don't even mention it. When you're down on your luck, you can choke on water. The first curse was probably picked up after I entered the temple deep in the Valley of the Serpents. It might be the temple's curse, or maybe the curse of that damned feathered serpent. I tried many methods and finally managed to weaken the curse a bit, but who would have thought that when I killed Teslak, I was careless and was backfired by an extraordinary item he had placed in the room, and then I was cursed again."

At this point, Kiris looked at Erin and said, "Ever since I was afflicted by that curse, I feel like my luck has gotten much worse, and even my spirituality has become somewhat dim. Boss, do you have anything that can help me suppress these two curses?"

"There's nothing that can suppress the curse, but there is a way to transfer it."

As he spoke, Erin walked over to Kiris and plucked a few strands of hair from the part of Kiris's head where the curse was most intense.

After plucking the few strands of hair from Kiris's body and tying them to an exquisitely crafted paper doll.

Erin placed one hand on Kiris's head and then used the [Damage Transfer] ability to transfer the most concentrated and dangerous curse aura from Kiris's body to the substitute paper doll in his right hand.

After advancing to the [Master of Puppets] rank, Erin's various abilities were amplified to varying degrees.

With Kiris's cooperation, Erin can now use Kiris's personal item (hair) and combine the abilities of [Damage Transfer] and [Substitute Paper Doll] to barely transfer a cursed aura from Kiris to a pre-prepared substitute paper doll.

With the surge of spirituality.

The cursed aura on Kiris was deceived by Erin's ability and rapidly flowed into the substitute paper doll.

The moment the curse completely disappeared from Kiris's body.

A flash of red light appeared on the [Zhu Rong Finger Bone] on Erin's wrist, and instantly a ball of eternal fire, radiating an aura of eternal indestructibility, devoured the paper substitute figure entangled in cursed energy.

"Sizzle sizzle..."

The moment the Eternal Flame touched that paper substitute.

A loud hissing sound erupted between the two, like a spoonful of cold water being poured into boiling oil.

soon.

The curse on the paper doll began to boil over.

As the eternal fire continued to burn, the paper doll was soon reduced to ashes.

After the object of the curse died, the powerful curse seemed to lose its support. After struggling a few times in the eternal fire, it was quickly burned and extinguished by the eternal fire.

Seeing the curse that had plagued her for so long and which she couldn't break free from, easily resolved in Erin's hands, Kiris's big, watery eyes immediately lit up with a bright light.

But before she could speak, Erin, as if guessing what Kiris was going to say, said without turning her head, "The combination of damage transfer and the substitute paper doll technique can only be used once a day."

"So try to get rid of the remaining curse yourself first. If you can't, I'll help you remove it tomorrow."

After Erin finished speaking, Kiris was somewhat disappointed, but the light in her eyes did not fade much.

Instead, she stretched lazily in front of Erin, revealing her beautiful figure to the fullest.

"Hmph, let's do it tomorrow then. The remaining curse, although much weaker than the curse of the Feathered Serpent Temple, will still take me a lot of effort to dispel even with the help of the mirror ritual. It's more convenient for you to do it."

A few months ago, if Gillies could have handled this herself, she would never have bothered Erin.

But whether it was because she got to know Erin better, or because she transformed into a witch, her strong personality changed to some extent, making her like a real woman, and she began to rely on others.

After thinking for less than a second, Kiris entrusted the task of exorcising the curse to Erin.

Upon hearing this, Erin glanced at Kiris and quickly responded with little interest.

"Alright, then come to my house tomorrow morning. I'll help you get rid of the curse as soon as possible, so you'll be less affected by it."

While Kiris's curvaceous figure was pleasing to the eye, Erin instantly lost any desire to admire her when he thought that just a few months ago, Kiris was a tough, burly woman.

Ok.

Let the captain appreciate this beauty.

After confirming the time with Kiris, and instructing her to minimize going out and contact with others until the curse is lifted,

Erin made a special trip to the underground laboratory of the Miracle Building to take a look at the Blood Orchid that Kiris had piled up in the freezer.

Unlike the blood orchids that the military had obtained before.

Each of the blood orchids that Kiri brought back was astonishingly large, more than a third larger than the blood orchids obtained by the military.

No wonder Gillies said that the batch of Blood Orchids the military obtained was just something Dr. Banner casually grabbed from the ground.

They can't compare just in terms of physique.

After looking at the blood orchids, Erin went to the laboratory that was specifically for cultivating Fenrir's Egg and looked at the Fenrir's Egg that was soaking in purple nutrient solution.

Compared to its previous half-dead state, resembling a dead egg, this [Fenrir Egg] now contains an immeasurable amount of vitality.

Ailin's mental power could even sense a wisp of mental light emanating from the little creature inside the giant eggshell.

"It looks like it won't be long before this [Fenrir's Egg] hatches successfully."

After sensing the gradually increasing intensity of the spiritual light within the eggshell, Erin said to the giant egg immersed in the nutrient solution, "Absorb as much as you like, little guy. I look forward to the day you hatch."
