During the fall, Shinji flipped his hand and produced a sharp kunai. He then spread his feet apart and braced himself against the walls on either side to increase friction and slow down his descent. At the same time, he stabbed the kunai into the cracks in the well.

In the blink of an eye, he reached the bottom of the well and successfully hovered above the soil.

"Based on my senses, this should be the place..."

Shinji first carefully searched the surrounding area, and after finding nothing, he began to dig downwards with a kunai.

Strangely, he dug down several meters but found nothing.

"Hmm? That's strange."

Shinji stopped what he was doing, and then took out the [Cursed Treasure Map] with some doubt, wanting to see if any information was missing.

However, the moment he took this thing out, something unexpected happened!

The originally black scroll suddenly turned into ashes and then quickly merged into the soil beneath Shinji's feet.

Then, as if it came to life, the soil rapidly merged and sculpted into a black, ancient treasure chest.

"So that's how it is."

Shinji seemed thoughtful after witnessing this astonishing scene.

He had already suspected what kind of treasure map he could dig up from the system.

Was the so-called 'treasure' always at that coordinate?

What if someone else happens to find it?

Moreover, if it were merely some mundane things from this world, such as gold and silver jewelry, it would be rather impractical.

But seeing this scene now has reignited his interest!

Although we don't know what's inside the treasure chest yet, at least we can look forward to it.

The so-called 'treasure' doesn't actually refer to Dong XZ being here; rather, it means that only when he arrives at this coordinate can he activate the treasure map in his hand.

In other words, the treasure map in his hand is actually the real treasure, it just needs to be 'unlocked'.

Even if other people stand in the same spot as him, they still can't find anything.

And regarding the scene just now, Shinji is more inclined to believe that what was inside was definitely not an ordinary object, otherwise it would be a disservice to the special effects just now.

While thinking about these things, his hands were also quick, and he decisively opened it.

But he had been ignoring, or rather, instinctively and deliberately ignoring, one thing.

That is, the prefix of this treasure map is "Cursed"!

. . . . . .

boom!!!

Hidan was suddenly startled when he found the abandoned well!

Immediately afterwards, a slightly disheveled figure emerged from the dry well, followed by a large group of black creatures baring their fangs and claws in pursuit.

"What the hell is this thing?!"

"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? Hurry up and come help!"

Shinji dodged while leading him toward Hidan.

Only then did Hidan finally see clearly what those dense, black things were...

That was... hair?!

Hidan desperately wanted to yell, "Don't come any closer!"

But knowing Shinji as he did, he knew that guy would definitely drag him down with him.

What's even more frustrating is...

He can't outrun that bastard!

With no other choice, Hidan had to bite the bullet and go for it.

He first pulled out his jet-black spear, then put it away in frustration, and instead took out a kunai.

A spear is naturally a very effective weapon for killing people; one thrust and it leaves a hole.

But can you use it to cut hair?

As Hidan painstakingly cut off all the long black hair around him, he gritted his teeth and thought, "When I get back, I'm going to get an even more powerful weapon."

Swish!Swish!Swish!

Shinji swung his kunai rapidly, defending against the attacks from the hair flawlessly.

And all the cut hair immediately loses its life force, falls to the ground, and disappears, which is very strange.

The two fought and retreated. Although the hair seemed endless, its strength was limited and its attack pattern was singular. No other attack methods were discovered at the moment.

So for now, things are still relatively stable.

After retreating about fifty meters, the wild, black hair suddenly straightened and stopped chasing the two. It began to slowly retract and soon all of it shrank back into the well.

"It seems that this thing's attack range is also limited. Fifty meters plus the depth of the well... so is its maximum attack range about ninety to one hundred meters?"

Shinji was analyzing and thinking of a solution when he heard Hidan shout from the side, "What was that thing just now?"

"I don't know either." Shinji shook his head honestly.

Hidan didn't believe him. "Don't tell me you sneaked out in the middle of the night to admire the moon. Besides, I just saw it; that thing chased you out of the well! Do you think I'm stupid?!"

Shinji looked surprised after hearing this. "Wow, you've actually become smarter. Has the water in your brain finally been drained?"

"You bastard! I'll fight you to the death!"

Hidan rolled up his sleeves, ready to fight Shinji, but Shinji had important business to attend to at the moment, so he changed the subject:

"I really don't know what that thing is. I came all this way just to retrieve something I had hidden in that well. Who would have thought that instead of finding the item, I would dig up this weird thing?"

"What did you hide in the well?" Hidan asked him suspiciously.

"Some savings from before. That was all before I joined the cult."

Seeing that Shinji didn't intend to elaborate, Hidan didn't bother to ask any more questions.

But Hidan immediately sniffed the air and gave a strange look. "Can you smell something? It smells so good!"

Something's not right.

Shinji's nose is perfectly fine, so he naturally smelled the fragrance as well.

Moreover, he had never smelled such a fragrant scent before he came into this world.

The fragrance was indescribable; it seemed to contain every imaginable beauty, drawing you ever closer...

Gradually, a look of intoxication appeared on Shinji's face.

But then he realized the extreme danger and, with his last bit of consciousness, plunged the kunai in his hand into his thigh!

puff!

Blood flowed from the wound, and Shinji successfully used the double pain to break free from that bizarre state.

Upon closer inspection, the scene before him sent chills down his spine!

[14. Chapter Fourteen: Changes in the World]

"Go back!"

Shinji quickly pulled Hidan back to create distance, and then without saying a word, he slapped Hidan twice to wake him up!

In the brief moment of distraction, the two of them had unknowingly moved forward several meters.

Hidan, who had been woken up, didn't even have time to settle scores with him before he was shocked by what he saw!

The strange fragrance, with some unknown magic, attracted all the poultry in the vicinity.

Then the two of them saw those eerie black hairs suddenly emerge from the well again, and then precisely and quickly entangle all the chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs that had been attracted.

Without the stimulation of the scent, the animals all began to struggle in terror.

But it was too late; it was completely useless. Soon, all activity ceased.

After a while, the eerie black hair slowly retracted once again.

And whether it was just his imagination or not, Shinji even felt that his black hair had become shinier and more resilient than before.

The unfortunate livestock were drained dry, turning into wrinkled, desiccated corpses, their deaths gruesome!

This scene shocked both Shinji and Hidan!

"By the evil god, how can this thing even eat?" Hidan almost cursed out loud.

Shinji's expression also turned serious, realizing that the monster he had unleashed while digging for treasure might be a menace.

and......

"Can you smell it? That strange fragrance from before is back."

Hidan was taken aback at first, then touched the side of his face where he had just been hit, and said incredulously, "This scent is used to attract prey? What on earth is this thing?"

Hidan's expression turned somewhat unpleasant at the thought that he had almost fallen victim to a trap.

If you really get entangled with that damn thing, it's hard to say whether you'll be able to escape in the end.

Even in the worst-case scenario, wouldn't he be 'eaten' for a very long time?

Just thinking about it is terrifying!

"Let's hurry up and leave while this thing can only move around in this area," Hidan suggested.

If the opponent is a person, no, even a god, Hidan wouldn't be afraid.

But faced with such a monstrous thing, Hidan really had no intention of fighting it to the death.

That's completely unnecessary!

Shinji also agreed with Hidan's statement, but...

In the darkness of night, many indistinct figures suddenly appeared nearby.

Those were all villagers who had been lured there by the special fragrance emanating from the well, and had clearly lost their minds!
