"Um!"
Su Bai nodded, a hint of trepidation in his eyes.
If the dark curse can be broken successfully, that would be ideal.
A trip to the Cursed Isles could very well lead to unexpected complications and unforeseen events.
After all, this is a forbidden area in the Land of Redemption.
For many years, the lords of various countries have only left traces of their activities on the outskirts of the Cursed Islands.
As for its interior, no one has ever gone deep inside.
Uther looked at Wang Zhenguo, "My lord, leave it to me!"
He then stepped forward and faced the swarm of insects.
He raised the holy hammer high, facing the direction of the sun.
He muttered to himself, chanting obscure and complex incantations.
The next second.
A beam of extremely bright light descended from the sky.
It struck directly at the holy hammer.
"Great holy light, dispel the darkness before us, pure light will eventually shine on every corner of the world!"
As Uther finished speaking.
The beam of light swept outwards in all directions from the Holy Hammer as its center.
Within the territory, after being enveloped by the beam of light, patches of black mist rose from the bodies of the zebra fins, hydralisks, cockroaches, blasting bugs, xenomorphs, queen bugs, and worker bees.
These black mists seemed to be sentient beings, with extremely tenacious vitality.
Enveloped in the swarm, they resisted the golden holy light.
"Hiss hiss hiss!"
A series of ear-piercing scraping sounds rang out.
The black mist was baptized by holy light, and part of it began to melt away and dissipate into the sky.
But a continuous stream of black mist rose from the swarm's body.
The Holy Light had no way to completely dissolve it.
"The black mist is the dark source of evil, attached to the bodies of these creatures."
"The Holy Light cannot completely cleanse it; it can only temporarily mitigate its negative effects."
"Only by eliminating the source of the curse can these creatures be freed from the invasion of dark power."
Uther put away his holy hammer and said in a deep voice.
The golden beams that had covered the territory vanished instantly.
Wang Zhenguo's expression was solemn, his face filled with gravity.
"I never imagined that even Uther's power of light couldn't remove the dark curse."
"This shows that this dark force is indeed powerful."
"The Dark Lord who cast the curse is no ordinary being."
Su Bai was already prepared that the power of light could not break the curse of darkness.
Therefore, he did not show any signs of frustration.
He cleared his throat and said, "I have killed two of the Dark Lord's subordinates in succession. So, he sent down a projection to cast a dark blood curse on my troops."
"But since we've become enemies, why doesn't the Lord of Darkness attack me directly?"
"Instead, he chose to cast a curse and send me to the Cursed Isles."
Even Uther the Lightbringer, a level 65 hero, was unable to break the curse.
That proves that the Lord of Darkness must be extremely powerful.
Why go through all this trouble when you could just kill the enemy directly?
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhenguo pondered for a moment, then quickly replied, "I believe there are two possibilities for this."
"Firstly, the true form of this Lord of Darkness is located on the Cursed Isles. He is unable to cross vast distances to launch attacks, so he can only resort to the second best option: imbuing himself with a dark curse."
"Secondly, the talent and strength displayed by your troops have captivated the Lord of Darkness. He wants to lure you to the Cursed Isles and make you his vassal or servant."
"This Lord of Darkness has quite the ambition to absorb me into his dark forces," Su Bai said.
"Many native forces on the Land of Redemption, whether good or evil, share a common ideal: to grow stronger and eventually dominate the entire continent."
Wang Zhenguo paused for a moment, then continued, "Therefore, human lords sometimes need to unite to fight against powerful local forces."
Su Bai nodded slightly in agreement.
However, nothing is more complex and fickle than the human heart.
It is difficult for the lords within a country to work together with one heart.
Not to mention, the lords of various countries around the world united together.
“Next, we must head to the Cursed Islands and give it a shot,” Wang Zhenguo said, looking at Su Bai.
"Regarding the Cursed Islands, the military only briefly mentioned them in their training, saying that they are dangerous forbidden areas and that one should never venture in unless one is strong enough. How confident are you about this operation?" Su Bai asked.
After a moment's thought, Wang Zhenguo said, "The Cursed Islands are one of the ten forbidden areas of the Land of Redemption. The extent to which lords from all over the world have explored them is limited."
"However, one thing is certain: all the monsters inside are of the dark attribute, and my race, the Light Legion, has a certain degree of restraint against them."
"If it were any other forbidden area, I would probably have to ask other lords for help, but I am quite confident about the Cursed Islands."
Uther stood to the side, brandishing the holy hammer in his hand.
"I will guide the Holy Light to completely purify those filthy dark creatures!"
Looking at such a powerful hero standing right in front of him, Su Bai felt a surge of inexplicable confidence.
With him around, this trip to the Cursed Islands should be relatively safe.
"We shouldn't delay, let's set off immediately!" Wang Zhenguo said quickly.
“Due to the influence of the Dark Curse, my swarm cannot leave its territory, but heroes and elite units are immune to the effects of this curse.” Su Bai paused, then continued, “So this time, I’m taking them with me.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Kerrigan, Dehaka, Abathur, and Broken Tooth stepped forward and stood behind Su Bai.
Wang Zhenguo stared wide-eyed, his face showing utter disbelief.
He spoke very quickly and couldn't help but sigh:
"The Queen of Blades, the leader of the primal swarm, the master of evolution—just hearing their names makes you feel they are extraordinary."
"Having arrived in the Land of Redemption, it has only been a little over ten days, yet I have already acquired three heroes."
"You should know that every hero is extremely precious and can only be encountered by chance."
"It is very likely that a lord will not be able to acquire a hero even after one, two, or three years."
"How did you manage to possess three heroes in such a short time?"
Su Bai scratched his head and said with a smile, "Colonel Wang, it's all just good luck. Compared to your Lightbringer Uther, you're still far behind."
"Su Bai, you can't say that."
“Uther has been with me for seven or eight years, and his level has only reached the sixty-something level.”
"Given time, your hero will grow up and will surely become a powerful being who can stand alone."
Wang Zhenguo answered without hesitation.
