Chapter 218: Curse

Chapter 218: Curse

Translator: Insignia Editor: Svjohn

The giants fell to the ground and quickly ran away from Luo Yuan in fear. Those giants who fought had been killed by Luo Yuan, and the cowardly ones that had been left were trying to escape. Unfortunately, they were like rats in a small container. There was nowhere they could go.

In fact, the giants were quite similar to human beings. Maybe they were a new version of homo sapiens. In the end however, most of them were begging for mercy.

However, Luo Yuan did not reserve any kind of sympathy for those creatures. Mission requirement aside, Luo Yuan could not neglect the fact that they were a group of intelligent creatures. Human beings could not allow them to exist on the Earth. Humans would not allow any creatures that could potentially threaten their status to survive. Their surrender had only sped up their death.

Luo Yuan was covered in a thick layer of blood. His hair had been stuck in knots and none of them could see him clearly. Dark red blood was dripping along his hair, making him look like he'd tripped and fallen into a puddle of blood. His Zhanmadao was still shiny and free of any blood stains, though. There were corpses all over the ground, some of them still moaning. Luo Yuan walked along the passage on the cliff and stabbed a few of them who were still alive.

The battle had lasted for more than an hour. He massaged his forehead, feeling mentally tired. He suddenly realized something was wrong. He realized he was feeling very frustrated after killing them. It was very difficult for him to focus. Sometimes, he even had hallucinations. He'd even had some when the giants had surrendered. Their fear and entreat had made him feel uncomfortable.

It was not that bad when he was fighting, because he was focused on something critical at the time, but it was terrible once he was in a relaxed state. It had not stopped yet. Luo Yuan knew something strange had to be happening inside his body. It felt like there was a form of energy causing changes to his soul. He leaned against the wall of the cliff and closed his eyes slightly to rest. After a while, he opened his eyes, looking very serious.

He realized he could not concentrate his Will anymore. He was too distracted by hallucinations whenever he attempted to concentrate. He took deep breaths repeatedly to calm himself down, but to no avail. He could not focus his mind. All his thoughts were confusing him. He felt worse than he had before he had discovered his Will.

He massaged his forehead, feeling annoyed. Subconsciously, he recalled something weird about the giants with the strange drawings on their bodies. Their physique had been normal and they'd looked skinny, but there had been many accessories on their bodies. Apparently, they'd had some kind of hierarchy in their village.

As he looked at the corpses on the ground, he suddenly thought of something. "Oh, sh*t! Did they cast a spell on me?" Shocked, he realized there was a high possibility of that. Perhaps he would not have believed in such superstitions a long time ago, but he had begun to believe ever since he'd realized mysterious things like the power of Will existed.

In fact, he himself possessed the power of killing, unlike the animals nearby, who just tried their best to escape, but instead fell to the ground or died whenever he concentrated his Will.

Those giants had not been like normal mutated beasts. They'd been a group of intelligent creatures. Their Will had been strong, and they'd probably had some kind of special mental power. Perhaps they had not been usually able to concentrate their Will, but had been able to concentrate it for a short time when it was the most powerful. Thus, it would not come as a surprise if they'd cast a spell on him.

He could only blame himself for getting cursed, He had been too careless and had underestimated them after all. Fortunately, his Will was strong enough to control himself, otherwise, he might have collapsed or died.

Although Luo Yuan speculated that he had been cursed, he did not actually care much about it. He refused to continue thinking about it, and he just ignored the hallucinations. The spell would fade in time anyway, and his Will would get stronger.

He looked through every single cave and found a few giants hiding there. Most of them were still young. He killed them all and quickly walked down the pathway after checking one last time.

Most of the giants who had jumped off the cliff have been killed by Luo Yuan's team or died on landing. Considering that they weighed about 500 kilos, their bones would definitely have gotten fractured after jumping down from 40-50 meters high.

It had been very easy for his team to kill them. Luo Yuan even saw a few of the kids soaked in blood. Apparently, they had helped kill the giants as well. Their expressions reminded him of African Scouts.

“We can’t take care of them forever. It’s hard times, and it’s time for them to learn.” Commander Xia said quickly as he noticed Luo Yuan looking at the kids.

Luo Yuan looked very serious. He had just finished killing numerous giants, and his expression made most of them feel terrified.

“It’s good to see some blood.” Luo Yuan nodded. He did not really care. He believed that the strong would survive and the weak would be eliminated. Everyone had to adapt to the new reality if they wanted to stay alive.

“Brother Luo, do you want to clean the battlefield?” Huo Dong suggested with a smile. “This is a place where intelligent creatures lived. It's a very rare sight. Who knows, maybe we'll find something amazing.”

“Your call, but don’t expect too much out of it. Be here in 30 minutes and we will return to the base,” Luo Yuan said.

He had checked all the caves, but he had not found anything valuable except for wooden art craft. The most valuable things had been some leathers and oracles, but their quality had been relatively bad.

"Let's go and discover a different civilization! We might get some surprises!" Huo Dong tried to motivate them when he saw no one respond.

“I’m sure it’s just corpses. I’m out.” If Huang Jiahui felt disgusted by the smell of blood there, she was sure she was not going to enjoy what was up in the caves.

“I’m out, too! Yuck!” Wang Shishi said arrogantly.

Huo Dong felt awkward as he realized no one was willing to join him.

Suddenly, he suggested, “Actually we don't have to check out the caves. There must be a river nearby if so many giants were living here.”

What he said made sense. “The river should be quite near. It would have been too dangerous for them to travel far away.”

Everyone suddenly felt delighted. “You’re right. There were a lot of them, so the water supply for their daily use must have been quite big. They would have already died if they hadn't had a steady water supply.”
