Shen Jue immediately looked at the divine deer and asked, "What have you remembered?"

The divine deer raised its head, looked at Shen Jue, and said, "In this forest, there lies an important secret. It is related to the Divine Deer Palace, and..."

At this point, Shenlu paused. Shenjue looked at her nervously, waiting for her to continue.

Shenlu stammered, "Moreover, we...we seem to have entered a forbidden area."

Shen Jue asked with interest, "Forbidden land? Your Divine Deer Clan has forbidden land?"

"Yes, I also learned from fragmented memories that our Divine Deer Clan does indeed have forbidden areas."

"I always thought this forbidden land was just a legend, but I never imagined it actually existed. I've actually witnessed the secret my clan has always guarded in my lifetime. It's said that a tremendous secret is hidden within the forbidden land, closely related to my clan. The treasure you're looking for is probably inside the forbidden land."

After hearing the description, Shen Jue fell into deep thought and remained silent.

As if realizing something, she said, "This time, you're not talking nonsense again, are you?"

"How could I? How could I lie to you? Besides, I get nothing out of it if I lie to you, you have to believe me!"

"Oh right, I also remember learning that this forest is just an illusion, used to mislead our vision. The real entrance to the forbidden area is hidden within it, and the entrance isn't fixed; it can appear anywhere, it's highly random and not easy to find... What are you doing?"

As Shenlu was speaking in his defense, Shenjue suddenly approached and slapped a card onto Shenlu.

Shen Jue smiled and said, "Given how many lies you've told, you have no credibility with me anymore. Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. If you behave yourself and lead me into this forbidden area to find the treasure I'm looking for, I'll remove the curse card from you."

The divine deer looked at Shen Jue with some resentment, not expecting that Shen Jue would actually use a curse card on it.

Although I've never heard of the Cursed Card God Deer before, just from the name, I know it's not a good thing.

It was both panicked and furious. "Chen Jue, as my messenger, it's one thing if you don't help me, but you actually used a curse card to curse me! What did you curse me with?"

Shen Jue shook his head. "It seems you don't understand your current situation. The deal between us was completed the moment you returned to the Divine Deer Palace. If it weren't for the reward you promised, I wouldn't have wasted my time with you."

"As for the curse, I think you're pretty lucky. My curse is that you'll be plagued by bad luck in the future, and nothing will work for you."

The divine deer glared angrily at Shen Jue, but there was nothing it could do.

The curse that Shen Jue mentioned successfully threatened it. The innate skills of the Divine Deer Clan are all related to luck, and this curse has seized its lifeline.

If it loses its blessings and is truly struck by bad luck, it will become nothing more than an ordinary deer, at the mercy of others.

Most importantly, it currently has no ability to retaliate and can only endure Shen Jue's threats.

Shen Jue looked at the divine deer's exasperated expression and said, "After all, I'm not as dishonest as you. As long as you lead me into the forbidden area and find the treasure I'm looking for, I will remove the curse card from you. I advise you not to have any wicked thoughts. If something happens to me, this card will be unsolvable."

The divine deer looked at Shen Jue, and it knew that what Shen Jue said was true.

The divine deer gritted its teeth and thought for a while before finally giving in.

He said to Shen Jue with a flexible attitude, "Alright, I will take you into the forbidden area to find the treasure you want. However, you must keep your promise and remove the curse card from my body."

Shen Jue nodded: "Of course, after all, I'm not as dishonest as you..."

The divine deer couldn't stand it any longer and interrupted Shen Jue, "Enough, stop talking. Didn't you want to enter the forbidden area? Come with me."

The divine deer said no more and led Shen Jue deeper into the forest.

Looking at the divine deer walking ahead, so familiar with the place, as if it had never been here before, Shen Jue's eyes deepened.

The search for the entrance to the forbidden area went very smoothly; we followed the divine deer, winding our way through a series of twists and turns.

Finally, deep within the forest, they found the entrance to the forbidden area. This entrance was hidden beneath a huge ancient tree, seemingly blending into its surroundings, making it difficult to spot.

As the divine deer opened the entrance, Shen Jue and the divine deer sensed a slight spatial fluctuation. They knew that the entrance to the forbidden area had been opened.

"Let's go." The divine deer turned its head and said to Shen Jue.

Shen Jue nodded and followed the divine deer into the entrance to the forbidden area. They passed through a mist, and gradually, the surrounding scenery became blurred.

When they could see their surroundings again, they found themselves in a dark forest. The trees here were much taller than those outside, and each one exuded an eerie aura.

The environment here is likely to be more dangerous than before. She gripped her weapon tightly, ready to deal with any potential dangers.

The divine deer also became alert, looking around and sensing the surrounding atmosphere.

"Is this the forbidden area?" Shen Jue asked.

The divine deer nodded and said, "Yes, this is the forbidden area."

Shen Jue and Shen Lu continued deeper into the forbidden area, traversing the darkness as the surrounding environment grew increasingly eerie.

Suddenly, Shen Jue felt a chill run down her spine. She immediately turned around and saw a massive figure lunging at her. She swung her sword to block the attack and retreated several steps.

When she got a clearer look at the figure, she realized it was a giant spider. The spider was entirely black, and the venom it spewed emitted a pungent odor.

It's an A-grade dream beast. How could there be a dream beast in the Divine Deer Forbidden Land?

In just a short while, when Shen Jue turned around, he found that the divine deer had already disappeared.

Damn it!

We can't worry about that deer right now; we have to deal with this one first.

Shen Jue immediately engaged the spider in a fierce battle. During the battle, she gradually discovered that the spider was not as powerful as she had imagined.

Her blades could pierce the spider's exoskeleton. After a fierce battle, Shen Jue successfully defeated the A-rank spider with her twin blades, obtaining a dropped red treasure chest and 10 battlefield tokens.

However, killing this A-level spider-type dream beast seems to have caused a major blunder.

Looking around, more and more A-rank dream beasts were appearing.

Am I surrounded by a swarm of spiders?!

Wow! That's really great!

It seems that what that divine deer said was true.

Inside the forbidden area, battlefield tokens are plentiful; it's just a matter of whether you're alive to collect them.

Shen Jue's eyes turned cold: [Activate the curse card.]

What do you want to curse?

May that divine deer suffer a fate worse than death, and be possessed by the god of misfortune!

[Curse check in progress. Curse complete, effective immediately!]

After doing all this, Shen Jue looked at the spiders surrounding her and began to move at high speed.

"Qingfeng, get out here and get to work!"

Upon receiving Shen Jue's command, Qingfeng flew directly off her wrist and transformed into its original form.

As an S-rank expert, Qingfeng could easily crush these A-rank noobs without even lifting a finger. He only needed to exert his pressure, and these A-rank noobs wouldn't even be able to get up.

They could only let Shen Jue and Qing Feng reap the rewards.

As Shen Jue dealt with these A-level dream beasts, she was thankful that she had been careful when she agreed to let the Divine Deer pass through the Purple Forest.

When she encountered A-rank or S-rank dream beasts, she appeared frightened and unable to move, and she did not allow Qingfeng to show himself.

That divine deer—no, it should be renamed Dead Deer now—dared to play tricks on her; Dead Deer is definitely in a bad situation now.

Once she's dealt with these dream beasts, I'll go settle the score with her!

Meanwhile, the divine deer that had already run to the sacred altar felt a chill in its heart, but it didn't take it seriously.

It's just a broken card, yet Shen Jue actually took it so seriously.

As long as it receives divine light, all negative buffs on it can be removed. What can a mere curse card do to it?

The divine deer looked at the sacred altar, and for the first time, a look of fascination appeared in its clear eyes!
