Chapter 1 I'm in Mo Village

[I am Fang Yue, and I have entered Mo Village.]

[I am safe!]

Although the parchment says it's safe,

Fang Yue still felt a faint worry in his heart.

Because the parchment had failed for the first time.

[As long as you contribute more black stones to the great and noble Lord Parchment and help Lord Parchment restore its power, the mere Wu Yu clan is not to be feared! There will be no more failures!]

Fang Yue's face darkened.

Enough, you. You ate two black stones of mine to solve the problem, and now you want to freeload again.

Fang Yue was still hoping to exchange the black stones for the Shanglu Troupe's cultivation method, so he was reluctant to feed the parchment.

He turned his head to look outside the village.

The vanguard team of the escort team, whose formation was ridiculously dispersed, was straggling towards this side.

The one leading the way was none other than the blood hunter with red eyes.

Seemingly seeing Fang Yue, the blood hunter and the others sped up and rushed over.

Before long, the blood hunter had crossed the line between life and death and arrived in front of Fang Yue.

"Brother Yue, your, your head, what..."

The blood hunter looked in astonishment at Fang Yue's two heads of the same size. This inhuman form gave people a strange and terrifying sense of discomfort.

"Affected by a strange curse, it's nothing serious."

If Fang Yue hadn't maintained his sanity, the blood hunter would have thought that Fang Yue had already been controlled by a strange entity.

"How's the team?"

"Apart from... the [Blood Head Giant Dog] dying, there were no other dangers."

Speaking of the [Blood Head Giant Dog], his expression was a bit dim. Fang Yue comforted him with a few words, looked at the scattered people who were arriving, and waited.

...

Time turned back to ten minutes ago.

Mo Village, Shanglu Troupe.

Five people wearing black robes who were about to enter the Shanglu Troupe's big tent suddenly raised their heads and looked towards the village entrance.

Their black robes were very strange.

Looking at them from the front, the inside of the black robes was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.

Although this method of concealing identity was strange, as long as they could pass through the line between life and death at the entrance of the village and move freely in the village, it was not a strange occurrence, and no one would suspect it.

Within Mo Village, strange entities have nowhere to hide!

"Aren't you going in yet? This is the last night show of the day. If you miss it, you'll have to wait until tomorrow."

The gatekeeper at the entrance of the Shanglu Troupe yawned and urged.

"..."

The five black-robed people exchanged glances and suddenly retreated in unison.

The gatekeeper was stunned and said unhappily, "Baffling!"

Leaving the Shanglu Troupe, the five black-robed people stopped in a hidden corner.

"Wu... Ji..."

Wu Ji!

An extremely complex and terrifying strange curse!

This was a curse that could only be cast at the cost of one's life.

Moreover... only a strange entity inheriting the royal bloodline of the Wu Yu clan could cast it!

But how could someone from the royal family appear here?

The five black-robed people were silent.

They were the envoy group for this mission, coming with a purpose.

The appearance of the royal family was definitely outside of the plan.

"... Save."

One of the black-robed people, who seemed to be the leader, looked at the black-robed person next to him.

The other three black-robed people immediately joined hands, forming a triangle, surrounding the black-robed person in the middle.

Their hands, under the influence of the black robes, were in the form of black mist, and their original shape could not be seen at all.

The black-robed person surrounded by the three did not hesitate, reaching out a hand composed of black smoke and suddenly inserting it into his chest.

"Ah!!!"

The black-robed person knelt on the ground, opening his mouth as if letting out a sharp roar, but the sound did not spread out at all.

And with this action, the black-robed person kneeling on the ground spewed out thick black smoke, rising into the air!

When the black smoke transformed into a kite shape in mid-air, it was as if a strong wind was helping it, quickly flying outwards.

The black-robed person on the ground had stopped emitting black smoke, lying on the ground sizzling and disappearing, leaving only a black robe.

The four black-robed people glanced at it and silently closed their eyes.

They had connected with the black kite.

What they saw was what the black kite saw.

The black kite flew straight out of the village.

As it approached the high altitude at the border of the village, it suddenly seemed to hit a semi-transparent protective shield. In an instant, dense and extremely complex ancient characters appeared all around, as if some ancient formation was arranged in an orderly manner, and then quickly disappeared into the air.

The black kite, on the other hand, emitted a faint black light, passing through it.

Like an eagle preying on its food, it swooped down towards the outside of the village.

Mo Village was a very special existence.

They had paid a great price to break through Mo Village's defenses.

But any price was insignificant in the face of the royal family's life.

The royal family was above all else!

"..."

As the black kite approached, the situation below became clearly visible.

It was a human escort team.

They didn't seem to have noticed at all that there was something extra above their heads.

Or rather, they couldn't detect it at all!

And the guy at the front of the escort team had a human bone kite tied around his neck.

The face on the human bone kite was about to turn into that of the human.

Wu Ji was about to be completed!

Everything was being fed back and synchronized to the four black-robed people in Mo Village.

Their pupils shrank in unison, and they were greatly shocked.

"... It's the royal family!"

"Something's... not right."

"It's the royal family!"

They seemed to have some disagreements, and information was exchanged quickly.

But in the end, they reached a consensus.

The black kite in the sky exploded with a bang.

"Woof woof woof!"

"Woof woof woof!"

A big-headed dog in the escort team seemed to have noticed something.

But it was only seemed to.

Its dazed appearance showed that it didn't know what was happening at all.

And the exploded black kite turned into a sky full of black particles, like the human bone kite was attracting them, crazily pouring into the human bone kite.

In a situation where no one could hear it.

The rope tied around Fang Yue's neck snapped with a click.

"System prompt: [Unknown Strange Curse] status has been removed."

The man with the human bone kite tied around his neck seemed to have sensed something, suddenly froze, and then suddenly whipped his horse and ran away like his life depended on it.

This reaction made the four black-robed people in Mo Village stunned.

"... Coincidence?"

No one continued to think deeply about it.

Because the black particles had completely merged with the human bone kite, forming a head like a balloon.

On the head, there were facial features carved with a human face.

If Fang Yue were here again, he would definitely recognize that it was Ma Ling'er's face.

"Lord... awaken."

Ma Ling'er heard the voice in her mind and slowly opened her eyes.

"Who... am I?"

Ma Ling'er's confusion was simultaneously transmitted to the black-robed people in Mo Village.

"Lord, you are the royal family of the Wu Yu clan!"

"I am the royal family?"

Ma Ling'er was still confused. At this moment, the black-robed people understood.

Ma Ling'er had lost her memory, or rather, the memory before her death.

But... there was no reason for that!

As long as the terrible curse of [Wu Ji] had not completely taken effect, there was still room for redemption for the royal family of the Wu Yu clan, let alone losing their memory.

Unless... the bloodline was impure!

The leader of the black-robed people in Mo Village suddenly frowned.

But just then, Ma Ling'er suddenly sensed something.

"I need to do something, I feel like I must do something!"

Her human head balloon suddenly looked in the direction of the young man who had suddenly whipped his horse and ran away.

That... the guy whose neck she had previously tied with a human bone kite!

"Wait..."

Before the black-robed people could stop her, Ma Ling'er's human head balloon began to giggle crazily and chase after Fang Yue, who was running away.

Her speed was very fast, accompanied by a sharp giggle that only the black-robed people could hear, gradually opening her mouth to an exaggerated size that almost filled the entire balloon, and a stream of black blood poured down on the ground.

[Almost there! Almost there! Almost there! Keep it up, big brother who runs so fast!]
