Chapter 624: The Hunger Curse
"Is Emerald City?" Enzo murmured to himself.
After Bourne joined the Campbell family, he became the ruler of Emerald City and built a mechanical tower in the middle of the city. Relying on the resources provided by the Campbell family, he rushed to the level of the second-level wizard.
However, with Bourne's talent, the possibility of advancing to the second level is slim.
In particular, he also received a lot of mechanical transformations, and his body's ability to carry magic is even worse than that of some third-level apprentices. Without some special opportunities, he may not have hope of advancing to the second level in his life.
In place, Enzo thought.
Thirty thousand crows have flew across the abyss restricted area. Each pair of eyes provides Enzo with a picture. Then, using the chip's analysis function, the entire abyss restricted area map soon appeared in Enzo's mind.
At the same time, he also obtained the location of Emerald City.
"I hope you are still alive."
Enzo sighed in his heart. The reason why he went to the abyss forbidden area was because of Bourne, but this place was already shrouded in the abyss. Bourne, who is just a first-level wizard, may not be able to live 100%.
The next moment, Enzo disappeared.
Using the power of the rules of the wizard world, space has no longer had much binding force for him, and short-distance teleportation consumes only magic power. Enzo plans to go to Emerald City to find Bourne first.
Only after this matter is resolved will he consider exploring the abyss restricted area.
"No wonder in the multiverse, the abyss world has always been a disgusted existence. These abyss energy even distorts the rules, making this area extremely disordered." After several consecutive space jumps, Enzo stopped in place.
The disorder of the rules in the Abyss Zone made Enzo a little unable to follow.
Under normal circumstances, Enzo can reach another town from one town every time he jumps in space, and the magic power consumed is only a magic amount, but it is obviously not the case in the abyss restricted area.
Just a few space jumps consumed a lot of Enzo's magic.
At the same time, the distance is not obvious, and it is even worse than Enzo's speed using flight magic. It is obviously still a long way from Emerald City.
"It's so troublesome." Enzo frowned slightly.
As his thoughts moved, a pair of shadow wings appeared behind him. After a slight vibration, it enveloped Enzo, as if it turned into a ghost and disappeared from the spot.
For Enzo, the shadow magic is almost a special skill.
Although he has been promoted to the fourth-level wizard and mostly uses the power of rules for combat, the shadow magic is still the foundation of Enzo's path, just like the Supreme of Flame. Even if he is promoted to the seventh-level wizard, he is still good at controlling flames.
In the sky, a shadow moves quickly.
At this speed, Enzo can reach Emerald City in up to three hours, but as he penetrates into the abyss zone, the abyss breath in the air becomes stronger and the rules become more disordered, which makes Enzo feel a little uncomfortable.
For ordinary wizards or mortal knights, the strong abyss aura can almost reach a fatal level, but for a fourth-level wizard like Enzo, it will not have much impact, it will only make him feel uncomfortable.
The fourth-level wizard is already a god-like existence.
This creature has completely broken away from the boundaries of the ordinary, and some rules that adapt to the ordinary have become no longer there for them.
For example.
As we all know, the weakness of human beings lies in the heart and the head. Ordinary people will die after being penetrated or cut off their heads. After being promoted to a wizard, the weakness of the heart will no longer exist.
Even if it is just a first-level wizard who is penetrated by the heart, he can still use witchcraft to transplant the organ to recover himself. However, the cut off of the head is still a fatal injury for the wizard.
But the fourth-level wizard does not have such weakness.
Whether they smash their hearts, cut their heads, or even digging out the organs of their bodies, they will not cause fatal damage. The power of rules can be completely shaped by the body, and all they consume is some original power.
For a fourth-level wizard, perhaps the only fatal weakness is the magic crystallization in the body.
To be more precise, it is the heart of all spirits.
The source of wizard's power is magic crystal. This kind of thing is a fatal weakness for every wizard. It gives wizard magic and power. As the wizard himself advances to the fourth level, the nature of magic crystal will also be changed.
The changed magic crystal is called the Heart of All Spirits.
In the multiverse, the value of the heart of all spirits is hard to describe in words, and its preciousness even exceeds that of the divine fire. Even though the Supreme Council strictly prohibits the transactions and transactions of the heart of all spirits, similar things in the multiverse have never stopped.
Even in the Abyss World, many demon lords are glorious about collecting a heart of all spirits.
After Enzo was promoted to the fourth-level wizard, the magic crystals in his body also converted into the heart of all spirits, presenting a black color like ink.
"Huh? What is that?"
In the sky, Enzo was moving forward at full speed and flying towards Emerald City. At this time, he suddenly saw a small town appearing below the ground, shrouded in a strong abyss aura, emitting a strange feeling.
"Not care for now."
Enzo shook his head, not intending to pay attention to the abnormality of the town, but at this time, a whirlpool suddenly formed in the distant sky, as if it had the suction force of a black hole, leading Enzo into it.
"This breath..."
In the sky, Enzo stopped and felt the breath coming from the vortex. He pondered for a moment, and finally walked in.
In an instant, the feeling of dizziness came.
Enzo appeared in a strange space, surrounded by a barren land, the red sky seemed like a huge mouth that had chosen people, and the earth was cracked and flowing with blood, like a scene of a purgatory in the abyss.
"What is this? Dimensional space?"
Enzo raised his eyebrows, and a trace of enlightenment flashed in his eyes. After the abyss penalty area appeared in the Star Tong Kingdom, the original rules became abnormal, so the space fell into an illusory state. The black vortex just now represented the entrance to the dimensional space.
Since you enter this space, you must abide by the rules here.
Of course, this is just for ordinary wizards. This level of dimensional space obviously cannot trap a fourth-level wizard like Enzo. He is very confident in his heart that if he burst out his own power, he is enough to break through this space.
But Enzo didn't do that.
The emergence of dimensional space often represents the distortion of rules. It is indeed possible to destroy Enzo purely with power, but the consequences of doing so will only cause this dimensional space to fall into a more disordered state.
Even the entire dimension space collapsed directly.
This will directly lead to the collapse of the space and the formation of a large number of void cracks, which is an unimaginable disaster for ordinary wizards. Although Enzo is not afraid, he does not like brainless destruction.
"Let's take a look at the rules of this dimensional space first?"
Enzo pondered for a moment, then made a decision to crack a dimensional space. In addition to violent means, he could also find loopholes from the rules. Enzo, who owns a chip, may not be unable to do it.
Then he began to head towards the way.
The dimensional space with a strong abyss aura was full of twisted rules, so a large number of strange creatures were breeding. Enzo noticed that in the magma not far away, a bloated monster was sucking in the fat on his body.
The disgusting scenes are disgusting.
Enzo's face was calm. As the most evil and distorted world in the multiverse, various demons will naturally emerge one after another.
"Human?"
After walking a while, Enzo suddenly saw an area similar to a camp not far away, where a large number of ragged humans gathered here. Some of them had pale faces and thin skin, while others had big belly.
The two extreme existences seem particularly strange.
"Mom, I'm so hungry..."
In the camp, a little girl snuggled in her mother's arms and made an extremely weak voice. Her mother was also pale and thin, with a sad expression on her face.
At this time, the center of the camp.
A deep pit similar to a oil pan suddenly collapsed, and the boiling hot water kept bubbled, making a gurgling sound. A commotion came from the camp. Some humans looked at the bubbled pit, and the luster of desire flashed in their eyes.
As for the other part of humans, they seem extremely frightened.
They seemed to be afraid of the emergence of a deep pit, but there was a hint of longing in their eyes, and they seemed to be in an extremely entangled mood.
“Hunger is the best encouragement…”
A hoarse and weird voice came from the deep pit, and to the humans in the camp, it seemed like a death knell.
The next moment, an arm that seemed to be formed by countless blood vessels spread out from the deep pit.
The humans in the camp became nervous.
Finally, the arm stretched towards a man. The man's belly was as big as a drum, like a pregnant woman. Seeing his arm stretching towards him, he suddenly screamed in horror and shrillness.
But his bloated body was destined to be unable to escape.
The arms wrapped around the man with a big belly like a poisonous snake, and then dragged it into a deep pit. The humans in the surrounding camps had a look of relief on their faces, and the humans with big belly had a greedy luster in their eyes.
In place, Enzo frowned slightly.
He had already noticed the abnormality of the camp. The pit seemed to be a curse of abyss. The gluttony god, one of the seven deadly sins, and the humans in the camp were all trapped in the curse of hunger.
"No! Save me!!"
Amid the shrill screams, the man was dragged into a deep pit, and the boiling liquid covered his whole body, like a fat pig with hair removal.
Soon, the man's scream stopped abruptly.
The tempting fragrance soon spread. The humans in the camp seemed to be unable to suppress their desires in their hearts and rushed into the pits. Only a small number of people were still sticking to the bottom line.
"Mom, I'm so hungry..."
Looking into the direction of the pit, the little girl also had a longing expression on her face, but her mother covered her eyes tightly, as if she didn't want the girl to continue looking.
"Sleep, you won't be hungry if you fall asleep."
The mother comforted the girl, but she was also hungry. She had not eaten anything for ten days and was also very eager for the smell emitted from the pit, and could hardly suppress her desires.
In the camp, there are very few pale faces and thin skin.
Most people cannot suppress their hunger desires and choose to sink, but the consequences of doing so are like men in a deep pit.
He ate too much and ended up becoming the food for everyone.
There seems to be no way to break the camp where the curse of hunger is to have no way to solve it. Those who cannot bear the hunger will eat their kind in the pit, but the consequence of doing so is that they are destined to be food for others.
But how long can you last if you continue to endure hunger?
Should you choose to sink into desire? Or stick to the bottom line and strive for one-tenth of hope?
Most people in the camp chose the former.
"I can't stand it anymore!"
At this time, a man with a pale face suddenly screamed like a wailing cry and rushed into the deep pit. His thin body seemed to burst out with great strength, pushing the people around him away and chewing them in big mouthfuls.
Feeling the feeling of flesh and blood, an extremely satisfied expression appeared on the man's face.
At the same time, his body began to alienate, his hands turned into something like claws, and his sunken abdomen bulged like pregnancy, looking extremely hideous and terrifying, but the man ignored his changes and greedily chewed on flesh and blood.
"A curse of hunger?"
Enzo stroked his chin and a trace of thought appeared on his face. This dimensional space seemed to be in a curse of the abyss. It was almost impossible for the human trapped in it to be freed.
"But...whether...what should I crack the curse?"
Enzo fell into deep thought and broke through the dimensional space with his power, which was the simplest way, but Enzo was unwilling to do that. According to his inference, there should be a more clever way to leave this space.
"Eat? Or not?"
Enzo frowned slightly. The key to breaking the curse of hunger should be whether to choose cannibalism. The purpose of the test is whether one can suppress one's desires. Those who are tempted by hunger will eventually become slaves to gluttony.
Perhaps, only by sticking to the bottom line can we leave this space.
"But...how long will it take?"
Enzo deduced the method to break the curse, but he was not clear about how long he could break the curse. The limit for mortals to endure hunger is for about ten days, but it is easy for wizards to not eat for hundreds of years.
"Why wouldn't I be trapped here for hundreds of years?"
A sneer appeared on Enzo's face, and he understood the way to break the curse, but Enzo had other ideas. He could not waste too much time here, so if he wanted to break the curse, he seemed to have to choose a simpler way.
In place, Enzo thought.
