"This curse seems to have nothing to do with the river water. It is a regional effect."
Li Ran frowned. There was currently no way to break the curse and there was no way to deal with it.
This means he must find a way to crack it within 14 days.
Li Ran took action immediately.
He went into the forest and looked for wild fruits on the dry and twisted branches. Unfortunately, after wandering around, he found nothing. He only saw a large number of rotten bones in the forest.
It's like the life of this ghost place has been completely cut off.
He could only go back to the river and stare at the rancid water in a daze.
At least the view here is wide.
Li Ran sat on the river beach and took out the fishing rod from the space ring. If he was lucky enough, there might be fresh river food in the smelly river.
He hung the little remaining bait on the hook, tossed the float deep into the pool, and waited patiently.
Before the bonfire on the shore was extinguished, Li Ran had his first harvest.
The fish float trembled on the water surface, arousing Li Ran's excited heart.
Finish!
Li Ran swung violently——
A pale white bone fish flapped its tail in the air.
The gray eyes were still moving flexibly, glowing with a strange light.
【Undead fish】
"His grandma is playing dirty, right?"
Li Ran slammed the bone fish to the ground.
Snap!
The fragile and cute creature was hit hard and died. The fish's eyeballs fell out and rolled around on the mudflat.
"kindness?"
Li Ran had an idea and picked up the fish eyeball.
After hesitating for a moment, he stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it.
Hunger level 1
"This damn method works! Fish eyes are edible!" Li Ran was extremely pleasantly surprised, which meant that he had a way to survive on the deserted beach!
In order to survive, Li Ran sat on the shore and fished one rod after another.
Soon the remaining bait in the space ring was used up, but the hunger and thirst level had just risen to 40%.
If you don't store food, you won't be able to escape starvation if you enter a barren forest.
what to do?
Li Ran noticed that the mud on the river beach was as moist and soft as a sponge soaked in formalin.
He took out his mining pick and started mining.
After digging a large pit one meter deep, the target finally appeared.
The fat body of that thing was flowing with seductive rotten slurry, and it was twisting in weird postures.
【Death Worm】
With stars in his eyes, Li Ran placed the worm between his lips and teeth with great care, and when he took a bite, it tasted like a fried chicken steak.
Hunger level 1
But compared to the short and sharp fish eyes, death worms are difficult to preserve. The space ring can only store inanimate objects - if you put the death worm into the space ring, it will immediately turn into a pool of pus.
Li Ran decided to use the worms as bait and hang them on the fish hooks to continue to increase the storage capacity of the fish's eyeballs.
It's getting later and later.
Li Ran didn't dare to rest. He dug holes to collect worms and stuck his fishing rod on the river beach to fish.
Fortunately, Li Ran possesses master-level mining skills, and his mining pick also has the special effect of earth-bending magic. The rocks in the mine are not a problem for him, and he can dig at the soft river beach very quickly.
In just one night, Li Ran dug a wide underground cave.
The cave has only one entrance facing the pool.
For some reason, Li Ran had an impulse.
He wanted to put a wooden bed and workbench in the crypt, and install a wooden door at the door.
But the cruel conditions of reality do not allow him to do this.
Early the next morning.
The sunlight could not penetrate the fog, and the two figures staggered to the vicinity of the crypt.
"Damn it, where did the skeleton soldiers come from?"
"Is there a cemetery main city nearby?"
Li Ran observed in surprise that the skeleton soldiers did not have any camp markings and were probably just wandering wild creatures.
【Skeleton Soldier】
[Level 1 undead creature]
[Attribute rating: strength d agility e magic power e physical strength e]
These two skeleton soldiers don't even have weapons.
Li Ran took out a one-handed sword from the space ring and launched a surprise attack from behind while the skeleton soldiers were not paying attention.
Li Ran kicked one down and focused his attack on the other.
He wielded his one-handed sword and smashed the two arms of the skeleton with great force. Then he held the sword with both hands and slashed horizontally like a tree, cutting the skeleton into three pieces.
After killing this skeleton, the one on the ground had not had time to get up.
Snap!
Li Ran walked straight up to the skeleton and crushed the skull with his foot.
Li Ran couldn't help but worry, "I don't know where Selina fell. If she goes too late, will she turn into a bone dragon?"
The image of a skeleton maid appeared in his mind, and he was so frightened that he quickly shook his head.
noon.
Li Ran put all the fish eyes he had accumulated into the space ring, said goodbye to the riverbank crypt, and embarked on a journey to find the black dragon.
Li Ran set off towards the north, which was the direction where the black dragon fell.
There are undead monsters roaming the forest here.
Fortunately, these undead seemed to have lost their minds, and their hunting instincts and perceptions were weakened. Otherwise, Li Ran would have been torn into pieces long ago.
That night, Li Ran was awakened by a familiar voice while he was taking a nap in a tree.
It was a distant dragon roar, coming from the far northeast, but Li Ran was certain that it was Salina.
It took a long time to trek through the dense forest.
Li Ran found Salina hiding at the foot of the mountain.
Black Dragon was licking his wounds and was obviously startled when he saw Li Ran.
"Reckless human being, you are still alive."
As Li Ran climbed down the hillside, he said with a strange expression: "Thank you for your gift."
"How did you find me?"
Huang Chengcheng's eyes looked at Li Ran with interest.
Li Ran just found a blackened stone to sit down, and his eyebrows twitched when he heard this question: "You can smell the aroma of burnt roasted bones from ten miles away. In this damn place, who else can do this except your dragon breath?"
arrive."
Selina showed her fangs and seemed to be laughing.
But the pain that came from her body immediately made her take a breath, and there was a shocking huge crack on the dragon's body.
It was caused by the silver dragon's attack.
"Are you okay Dahei?"
"My name is Selina."
The dragon exhaled dissatisfiedly, and then his tone softened, "Thank you for your concern. In fact, I should thank you. Without your help, I would still be imprisoned in that smelly dwarf fortress."
"What about the promised reward?"
"I'm very sorry, I deceived you. I am a poor dragon without a treasure house of my own,"
"Neither does my city. Black Cliff City is in crisis and its financial situation is in poor condition."
Black Dragon has no shame.
"By the way, I don't know your name yet."
"My name is Li Ran."
Li Ran's face looked a little bitter.
His goal was the Dragon Treasure House, but the treasure house turned out to be a scam as others said.
"Thank you, Li Ran."
Salina said sincerely.
Li Ran's mind was empty and he didn't know what he was thinking. He suddenly asked:
"Are you a female dragon?"
"Female dragon? Yes, I am a female black dragon." The black dragon showed its fangs.
Li Ran scratched his head and continued to ask: "Can you change human form?"
"Only holy dragons of level seven or above, or legendary dragon knights, can master form transformation. I can't yet."
Li Ran nodded.
"I can't fly or move now. The curse suppresses my vitality. The recovery speed of my wounds is very slow. I need you to help me again. Are you willing?"
"The reward this time is a crystal mountain?"
"No, but you will gain the respect of Black Cliff City. As a dark elf main city, even if there is no Crystal Mountain, the mistress will give you other rewards."
Li Ran's silent heart beat again.
Dark elves are a hidden race that has not yet appeared!
Hiding often means huge opportunities and excess returns!
There are rumors that the ancient and mysterious Council of the Faceless Men of the Dark Elves is the "Starbreaker" organization.
But this inference obviously lacks evidence.
Black Dragon recalled: "When I set out from Black Cliff City, I saw humans fighting on the ground, and these rebels also controlled a castle."
"Is there a human city near here?"
"Yes, Star Wind City in the northeast still flies the flag of the Griffin Principality, and there are people patrolling the city walls. You can get supplies there, and then go to Black Cliff City for help."
"Also, please don't tell the commander of Starwind City my information. The relationship between humans and dark elves is not good."
Li Ran nodded and said, "I understand."
"After arriving at Starwind City, go east over two mountains. You can find Black Cliff in a purple bush."
