"Yes, I failed and am trapped in this damn place!"
"I've been relying on the fruits I've been searching for to stay alive, but my time is running out!"
"I don't want to die. I don't want to die in such a cowardly way here. Even though I've possessed the bodies of several humans who strayed into this place and changed into many other bodies, they're still rotting!"
“…”
Qiao Yuan stared at Han Bo's body. In just a few minutes, the other's flesh began to rot, and a faint stench of corpse filled the air.
Ma Yufu stretched out his smelly arm and looked at it, frowning slightly.
"Since the fruit has such magical powers, then... as long as I find the source of the fruit, I will definitely be able to change it!"
"You should know that the growth of those fruits depends on those corpses. After searching tirelessly, I finally... found a special spirit in a semi-dead state."
“I did it!”
"They are indeed the lucky ones in this world, exempt from all costs of strange things!"
Speaking of this, Ma Yufu's face showed a crazy expression.
…
"Let me guess, there might be side effects!" Qiao Yuan ruthlessly interrupted the other person's sweet dream.
If the strange objects could be used perfectly, none of this would happen now.
Ma Yufu's body froze and the expression on his face gradually became cold.
After a long silence, he said in a low voice: "You are right. The side effects are more serious than I imagined. I was cursed by that corpse. My range of movement is limited to this area..."
"Rather than saying I took over its body, it's more accurate to say it imprisoned my soul!"
"Why? They're almost dead and still so strong!"
“…”
In the last second, he was immersed in the surprise of eliminating the side effects of the strange things, and in the next second he was told that he was cursed by the corpse and could not leave it in this life.
Just escaped from the tiger's mouth and fell into the wolf's den!
This is more painful than death for Ma Yufu!
…
"Later, an awakened one strayed into this place. I made a pact with it, and it was willing to let me go. So I took over the body of that awakened one and left here!"
Ma Yufu shook his head and sneered.
"During those first few years, not only did I fail to resolve the problem of contamination by strange objects, I also ended up with a curse!"
"In the forbidden land, it has the power to return me to its body and continue to imprison me... until we both perish!"
"I refused to give up, so I continued looking for a solution to all this, until I met three young people."
"The pollution from strange things is getting more and more serious. Relying solely on an awakened body is not enough for me to survive that long outside, so I need to cultivate a few more top-notch awakened bodies."
“…”
"But growing in a place like the Forbidden Land, where resources are scarce and precious, takes a lot of time. I don't have the time to accompany them in their growth, so I will leave the Abandoned City there and go off to continue searching for those special spirits to see if I can resolve the curse on them."
"I've been gone for many years. Unfortunately, all I've found in these years are dead spirits, and I can't solve my own problems!"
"Later, I returned to the Abandoned City to see how far my three students had grown."
…
"Just as I expected, they have all grown to the seventh level!"
Ma Yufu raised his head and looked into the distance, where was Feng's mansion.
"Feng is very smart, just as smart as you. Even though the body I took over was disguised and looked the same as when we first met, it still aroused his suspicion!"
"But...his life isn't as good as yours. People who have too many problems don't have a good ending!"
"After taking over Feng's body, I was about to continue exploring this forbidden place under his identity, but... a piece of news disrupted my rhythm."
Qiao Yuan: "What news?"
Qiao Yuan vaguely felt that this news was the key point!
Ma Yufu didn't say anything, but looked at Qiao Yuan carefully, as if he wanted to engrave this face in his mind.
"The reason I was able to leave that special body was because I reached an agreement with it!"
"It told me that someone would come to this forbidden place in a dozen years, and I need to bring that person to see it. As long as I do all this, it will stop cursing me and let me leave its body!"
…
Qiao Yuan frowned. According to what Ma Yufu said, the other party could actually predict the future.
It’s a bit scary to think about it!
"It told me at the time that the person had reached a forbidden area. The most important characteristic was that they had never eaten those fruits."
"At the time, I didn't know it was you, and it couldn't find you directly, so I came up with a plan."
"Since you are the one it predicted, you must have your own unique qualities. If something major happened in the Forbidden Land, the safest abandoned city, the impact it caused would definitely attract you."
Ma Yufu grinned with a meaningful smile.
…
"So you deliberately created all of this, imprisoning Feng and using me to lure the other two into joining forces to cause slaughter in the forbidden land?"
Qiao Yuan was really shocked. He didn't expect Ma Yufu to be so crazy in order to find him. He couldn't be called a normal person at all.
Um?
Considering that the other party has been fusing strange objects for so long, it is normal for him to come up with this idea.
"The three giants you spent so much effort to cultivate ended up becoming victims to attract me. Don't you think it's a pity?" Qiao Yuan asked.
The corners of Ma Yufu's mouth cracked, revealing his rotten and blackened teeth.
"I don't care."
