Chapter 242: 242

242 The Cursed Runes

Seeing the three of them like this, the Black Shadow sneered and said, “Hehehe … Do you think that I can’t do anything to you just because you’re hiding behind him? How foolish.”

After that, she slowly raised her arms. Everyone saw that she had nails as sharp as swords. Her fingernails grew to sixty centimeters long, and glinted coldly. At the same time, the surface of the black nails was covered with runes. Those runes had a strange, evil aura coming from them. From a distance, they looked like tadpoles, intertwining with each other in strange and mysterious shapes.

These were all curse runes! The curse runes glowed with a dark blue luster, and waves of strange curse powers spread from them, causing the surrounding vegetation to wither and die.

Zhang Yuxin’s face changed. “Oh no, those are curse runes!”

Shen Fei’s face also changed. He had heard of these runes before. It was an extremely vicious runic technique. Once the power of the curse attached itself to the body, it would madly absorb the host’s essence, causing the person to age until they died.

Although the curse runes were terrifying, it was a double-edged sword. The slightest mistake could cause the curse to backfire and kill the user. It was a hardcore curse.

“It’s too late to be afraid now.” The Black Shadow laughed sinisterly.

“You think I’m afraid of you?” Shen Fei snorted. He took a step forward and suddenly appeared beside the zombie. He clenched his fist and concentrated all his strength into his right fist before punching out.

A muffled sound of impact rang out, and the zombie flew back. As for Shen Fei, he remained standing in the same spot and did not move.

‘I’ve dealt with the zombie, but who is the Black Shadow? What does she mean by what she said just now?’

“Kekeke…” The Black Shadow let out a soft and creepy cackle. A demonic purple flame was dancing in her eyes. Then, she formed a seal with her hands and cast an obscure spell.

A gentle breeze suddenly rose in the area, causing the grass and trees in the forest to sway. This breeze was very strange; it felt like it was calling out to something. The Black Shadow sat down cross-legged, closed her eyes, and quietly chanted some mysterious incantation.

A moment later, a shrill scream suddenly reverberated through the area. In front of the Black Shadow, a dense swarm of insects appeared, gnawing at the zombie’s body.

There was an even more terrifying existence behind the swarm of insects. It was a spider with purple flames all over its body. The appearance of the spider was very strange. It had a slender body and a pair of huge chelicerae that were wrapped in a fleshy membrane. Its mouth was very small and jagged.

It somehow looked very cute, like a giant apple.

“What is that?” Ye Fei’s eyes widened in confusion.

“I know what these insects are. They’re Devouring Gold Silkworms, specialized in devouring metal materials,” Zhang Yuxin said in a low voice, her beautiful eyes filled with fear.

‘Devouring Gold Silkworms?’ Shen Fei frowned. He had never heard of them before. However, from their name, they should be a very strong and tyrannical species.

The Devouring Gold Silkworms were an extremely rare insect species, born from the Qi of gold and iron. They could devour hard materials to transform and produce powerful and mysterious toxins. Devouring Gold Silkworms liked living in groups. They would lay eggs every five years. Once hatched, the larvae would transform and mature in another five years, then reproduce and grow stronger.

Moreover, the silkworms were not afraid of water or fire. It could be said that they were immune to all poisons, making them terrifying creatures.

The most powerful thing about the Devouring Gold Silkworms was their toxicity. Even a master Beastmaster would not be able to escape if bitten by one, let alone ordinary human beings. Only a bit of it was enough to corrode a person with a thousand holes.

At this moment, the black figure suddenly let out a sinister and terrifying laugh. Then, the Black Shadow’s eyes snapped open, filled with hatred and madness.

“Today, I’m going to eat all of you!” she roared and leaped at the three of them. Her legs were like steel spikes that penetrated the soil, and she wielded two short daggers, showing off their sharpness. Her speed was fast, and she reached Shen Fei in an instant. The daggers were ruthless, and they went straight for Shen Fei’s chest.

Shen Fei’s face turned dark. He grabbed Zhang Yuxin and pushed her away. Then, he stretched out his palm and slapped the black-clad woman away.

Smack! Bang!

With a sound of impact, a huge and terrifying power burst out. The dark figure was sent flying by this terrifying force and crashed into the ground. The Black Shadow’s face was pale and bloodless. Her body trembled violently, and her throat rolled a few times as she gasped through her dry throat. She propped herself up with difficulty, the expression on her face twisted unpleasantly into the near-permanent look of anger and hatred.

Her eyes were red as she glared at Shen Fei and hoarsely shouted, “How dare you hurt me… I’ll kill you…”

When Shen Fei heard this, a mocking smile appeared on his face. He coldly sneered, “Black Sun, use Ancient Prestige.”

In the next second, the Black Sun immediately rushed at the Black Shadow, waving its sharp claws ferociously.

Seeing this, the Black Shadow’s pupils constricted, and she hurriedly raised her arms to block it.

The Black Sun crashed heavily into her arms, emitting a clanging sound as sparks scattered everywhere. However, she was still no match for the Black Sun’s power. She was forced to take seven or eight steps back.

“How could this happen?” The Black Shadow’s heart was filled with fear, and it also showed in her eyes. Her face, meanwhile, was aghast.

She had thought that she could easily kill the three of them with the help of the remnant power of the ancient ruins, but this was the outcome instead. Not only did she fail to kill them, but she was also completely suppressed. This was simply inconceivable!

The Black Sun did not give her any room to breathe and once again charged at her. Its sharp claws came with a whistling sound, making her hair stand on end.

The Black Shadow was shocked and scuttled to the side reflexively. However, the Black Sun’s speed was even faster, and it continued to pursue her like a shadow.

The Black Shadow’s neck was eventually caught by the Black Sun. She howled in pain, and her face showed a fierce and painful expression, as if she was suffering a great torture. The Black Sun’s sharp claws tore at her skin, even squeezing out her blood.

The Black Shadow trembled in pain, but she refused to give up. She suddenly raised her hand and was about to slash at the Black Sun’s claws with her dagger.

“Black Sun, be careful!” Shen Fei quickly reminded it.

The Black Sun sensed danger and quickly released its claws to avoid it. The Black Shadow took the opportunity to pull out the dagger from her waist and cut off Black Sun’s hook tail, taking it with her as she fell.

The Black Sun roared, unpleased. Then, it turned its head and looked where they fell, and chased after the tail.

“Ahhh!!” the Black Shadow screamed mournfully, and she felt a slight chill. The hook tail had pierced through her stomach and came out the other side. The tail was stained with sticky blood, which made a ghastly sight.

This scene made everyone shiver, horrified. The Black Shadow covered her wound as she wailed. She fell to the ground, but kept squirming.
