Chapter 1972 Soulfire

"Soulfire!" Shi Feng's expression turned grave as he saw the burning flames.

This wasn't the first time Shi Feng had seen this kind of flame.

Soulfire could inflict massive damage on players, and the penalties for being killed by it were far more severe than normal death, even worse than absorbing an Immortal Soul.

It was one of the most dangerous flames for players to encounter.

As the crystal ball turned to dust, the silver flames transformed into a panther over two meters tall. Its entire body was engulfed in silver fire, and white mist rose from where its claws touched the ground. The ground turned into magma, bubbling and hissing, making people's hearts turn cold and wanting to escape.

But Shi Feng couldn't escape even if he wanted to.

Not to mention the suppression of the quadruple magic array, the monster itself was extraordinary, a Tier 4, Level 200 Mythic monster. Any player would be instantly killed in its presence.

Even Shi Feng in his previous life would have only been able to run from such a monster.

Fortunately, the panther formed from Soulfire didn't pay attention to Shi Feng. Its dark eyes stared intently at Xia Lian, who was seated on the book chair, and it transformed into a silver streak of light, pouncing directly at Xia Lian.

It was so fast that even Shi Feng couldn't react before it appeared in front of Xia Lian.

"You little panther is really fierce. I only investigated your master's movements, and you came here to fight to the death." Xia Lian looked at the silver panther pouncing at her as if it were a cute little animal. She dodged to the left, and with a flick of her jade hand, she grabbed the silver panther by the scruff of its neck.

Then, something incredible happened.

The silver panther, originally over two meters tall, shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, eventually becoming only the size of a kitten. No matter how much it struggled, it couldn't escape Xia Lian's control, and could only howl and brandish its claws.

Then, Xia Lian took out a crimson crystal ball, chanted a spell, and the silver panther turned into a silver light, disappearing into the crystal ball. No matter how much the silver panther struggled inside, it couldn't escape the crimson crystal ball's restraints.

Shi Feng watched from afar, completely stunned.

A dignified Tier 4, Level 200 Mythic monster was being casually played with by Xia Lian. This wasn't the strength of a Tier 5 Red-robed High Priest; even a Tier 6 god might not be so powerful.

"You've come." After dealing with the silver panther, Xia Lian's golden eyes slowly turned to Shi Feng, and she smiled slightly. "I haven't seen you in a while, and you've gotten into a lot of trouble. You haven't solved the Flame Demon Lord's problem, and now you've been cursed. I really don't know if you're favored by the Goddess of Fate or targeted by the Goddess of Misfortune."

"A curse?" Shi Feng was slightly surprised. He looked himself up and down, even opened his system status to check carefully, but couldn't find anything unusual.

"Don't bother looking; mortals can't detect it." Xia Lian shook her head slightly and walked slowly to Shi Feng. She extended her flawless jade finger and drew a series of divine runes in front of Shi Feng.

The golden, ornate divine runes surrounded Shi Feng like golden ribbons. As the number of runes increased, the magic fluctuations around Shi Feng began to weaken. Before long, the area around Shi Feng became an absolute magic-forbidden zone, devoid of any magic.

This kind of magic prohibition was different from the magic prohibition skills used by players. The magic prohibition skills used by players only froze the flow of magic, but this magic prohibition completely eliminated magic from the root.

Without magic around him, Shi Feng felt as if his brain was lacking oxygen. His vision became blurry, his mind became dizzy, and his control over his body began to become sluggish.

But in just a moment, a finger-thick, silver-white chain appeared on Shi Feng's chest. The silver-white chain extended out of the magic-forbidden zone and disappeared, as if it didn't exist at all.

"What is this?" Shi Feng couldn't help but be astonished.

This was the first time he had seen such a situation, and with the appearance of this chain, he could clearly feel his strength weakening.

"This is your curse. This silver-white chain is the Soul Chain, tightly bound to your soul. This can be considered a souvenir that mysterious young man left for you when he left." Xia Lian hooked her red lips and said with a soft laugh, "How is it? Are you a little excited now?"

Shi Feng couldn't help but roll his eyes at Xia Lian. Even if he was stupid, he could tell that this thing was no small matter, and he could die at any moment. Anything related to the soul was what players feared most because it wasn't as simple as dying once. It was very likely that the entire account would be ruined. How could he not be excited?

"Can this curse be removed?" Shi Feng asked.

Xia Lian spread her hands, looking helpless.

"Even you can't do it?" Shi Feng was even more shocked.

Xia Lian's strength was definitely among the top NPCs he had ever seen. If even such an NPC couldn't do anything, one could imagine how big the trouble he was in was.

"This is a Soul Chain, a super-magic that has been passed down from the Primordial Era. I'm not a god, how could I possibly undo it?" Xia Lian glanced at Shi Feng and said unhappily, "But you don't need to despair. There are usually two ways to remove a curse: one is to forcibly break the formula, and the other is to kill the person who set the formula. Although I can't remove the curse, you can try to kill the person who set it."

"..." Shi Feng was speechless.

He wanted to, but did he have the ability?

Let alone his peak period, even a Tier 5 peak expert might not be able to beat that mysterious young man. It was estimated that only a Tier 6 god-ranked player would have a chance.

But now it was only the early stages of God's Domain, and there wasn't even a single Tier 2 player. Where could he find a Tier 6 player?

"Don't worry, I'm not asking you to kill him. With your small body, you probably wouldn't even be enough for that person to blow on. What you need to do is find that person's whereabouts." Xia Lian couldn't help but laugh when she saw Shi Feng's bad complexion. "Although I used tracking magic, that person is very good at hiding his tracks, and I can't find him. But you're different. The Soul Chain on your body is in his hands. As long as you follow the Soul Chain, you can easily find his location. When the time comes, just contact me."

System: Congratulations to the player for accepting the Legendary quest 'Lost Magic.' Quest content: Find the young man who cast the curse. Reward: Unknown.

"But how am I supposed to find him? I can't see the chain unless I'm in this magic-forbidden zone." Shi Feng felt speechless when he heard the system notification.
