The city in the Great Gan Kingdom that was cursed and infected was a city located near the south.
This city is an important place for economic and trade exchanges between the Great Gan Kingdom.
It borders several countries.
Meanwhile, the people Yu was traveling with this time included Shi Yan, Li Hongzhao, Baili Tu, Xu Wanzhou, the Imperial Advisor, and oh, Jiang Yingxue, who secretly followed along.
Although Jiang Yingxue is just an ordinary person now, she does not possess any of the powers of a deity.
However, her innate extraordinary qualities already destined her to be extraordinary.
Therefore, although Shi Yu had already added defenses to the courtyard where she lived.
But Jiang Yingxue eventually secretly followed her out.
In her words, Lin Yue Kingdom is her motherland, and she cannot ignore it.
However, she also assured Shi Yu and Li Hongzhao.
Once the matter is resolved, he will definitely return to Da Gan Country to continue being a hostage.
They traveled from the capital to this cursed city, riding at breakneck speed, and it took them only about ten days.
They arrived at the city gate, only to find it tightly shut, preventing pedestrians from passing through.
Upon seeing this, Shi Yu couldn't help but raise her little head and look at the top of the city gate.
A dark, oppressive cloud of black mist hung in the air; that was probably the source of the curse.
Li Hongzhao rode forward on horseback and shouted loudly.
"Hey, open the door."
"We came from the capital city."
"I am Li Hongzhao, this lady next to me is Princess Shengping, and this is the Imperial Advisor."
A short while later, people appeared on the city wall.
A man in armor stepped forward and shouted.
"This city has been afflicted by a curse."
"I don't care why you've come here. If you don't want to die, get out of here."
Li Hongzhao called out, "We're here to help you."
"It was an imperial decree issued by Emperor Tai'an."
The man on the city wall glanced at Shi Yu in the group and continued speaking.
"It's too dangerous for you to come out with a child."
"I advise you to go back immediately."
"If we can't defend this city, we will absolutely not allow anyone to take the curse out."
"Please rest assured."
"We beg Your Majesty to treat our families kindly at that time."
The general shouted as if he were facing certain death.
It seems he has already prepared for the entire city's inhabitants to die together.
Shi Yu couldn't help but raise his hand and pinch her little earlobe.
She couldn't help but mutter something under her breath.
"It's such a small thing, why are you making such a fuss about it?"
"Couldn't we have asked for help from the outside?"
"Sigh, rigid thinking is really scary."
"You'll have to rely on me when it matters."
Shi Yu spoke in her soft, cute little voice.
Suddenly, she raised her chubby little hand and then grabbed it hard!
As if trying to grasp something important.
Just as she moved her small hand, the dark and dense gas that had been quietly hovering above the city suddenly emitted a silent yet extremely sharp and piercing sound, as if it had been disturbed!
The sound seemed to penetrate one's eardrums and pierce the depths of one's soul, causing one to feel fear and chill.
It was as if it were struggling, as if it were saying:
Ah! Ah! Ah! No, no!
They struggled violently, their bodies contorted.
But none of this could stop Shi Yu's actions.
Shi Yu's grabbing motion only paused in the air for a moment before he easily retracted it.
Then a small black ball appeared in her little hand.
The general standing on the city wall suddenly felt a sense of relief, and the sky cleared up.
At that moment, the soldier next to her suddenly pointed to the sky behind them and spoke.
"General, look behind you quickly, behind you!"
"The black mist hovering in the sky suddenly disappeared."
The general turned around upon hearing the sound and, sure enough, saw that the sky behind him had cleared up.
The black mist that had been hovering above for days disappeared.
He turned around and looked back at the person who had come, and suddenly understood.
"Quickly! Open the city gates and let them in."
Shi Yu and his group successfully entered the city.
Although the black mist that had been hovering in the sky had disappeared, the curse in the city remained.
Shi Yu needs to see what the real curse is all about before she can figure out how to break it.
Soon, the general brought over a person who was deeply cursed.
The man lay on the stretcher, his body without any wounds, but black fluid was flowing from his seven orifices.
The skin all over his body had shrunk terribly.
It's like something has burrowed into the body and is slowly eating away at the tissue beneath the skin.
Until they completely drain the person and send him to meet the King of Hell.
“Your Highness, this is the person who is cursed.”
"Many people in the city have already been afflicted by the curse."
"We don't know how or why we got entangled with them."
"Some people, for some inexplicable reason, will gradually become like this after they go back."
"Let me see."
Shi Yu jumped off the big dog's back.
Whether it was a trick of the mind or not, as soon as Shi Yu approached the person, the person's complexion miraculously improved significantly.
Even the black aura that seemed to be rising from his body obediently withdrew its menacing attacks.
Shi Yu stretched out her small hand and touched the black fluid flowing from the man's seven orifices.
She had barely touched it when the voice of "Gua66" rang in her mind.
【Yu Yu, Yu Yu, that smell is so familiar.】
[That smells so familiar.]
It's your scent, mixed with the stench of decay and sin.
[That's strange, how come I can smell your scent, Yu Yu?]
[Could it be that some of your old belongings, Yu Yu, are on that island in the sea?]
[Your treasure from before, Yu Yu?]
Are they cursed because they took your things?
But that's so strange.
【Yu Yu, you're in the abyss, it seems you don't have friends like this.】
Who would be so kind as to protect your assets?
Shi Yu, [It seems we can only try it out.]
[Let's see if this black energy will still seep into their bodies after I've extracted my essence.]
Gua66 agreed in a voice, saying, "Oh, great!"
Shi Yu raised her hand again, withdrawing the last bit of her aura from the cursed person.
The moment she withdrew her small hand, the black energy hidden inside that person's body seemed to have suddenly lost its target and quickly floated out of that person's body.
Drifting aimlessly...
Without hesitation, Shi Yu raised her hand again and grabbed the dissipating demonic energy.
A short while later, the person miraculously opened their eyes slowly...
