Journey In A Fantasy World
Cursed Village

We decided to go to the village that Rui visited just a moment ago. Rui said there is a very crowded market there, because one way, we will stop by for a while to buy some necessities and food supplies.

But something surprised us. The small village was not at all a bustling village like Rui said. We walked cautiously on the wide road with this golden-brown ground.

Because it borders directly with the Forest of Curious Spirits, the settlement with dozens of houses has the same soil texture as the Forest of Curious Spirits, arid and waterless.

"Rui, are you sure this is a village?" Neo opens the map.

"When I came, this little settlement was very crowded, I bought some bread, and there was a very crowded market, the population was very friendly, was there something wrong?" Rui turned towards Neo.

"Of course, maybe this village is the same as Dixia Academy. Inhabited by ghosts. Even this village is completely invisible on the map," Neo showed us the map.

Rui and I looked at each other, "This is indeed a ghost village" we said together.

"It's okay if the ghost is friendly, Rui. I noticed that up ahead was already a stretch of snow, not far away was the Ice Mountain of Eternity. Let's check out this village for a few minutes. If there's anything weird, we should get going."

We took the advice from Neo, going even further. Sweep the view to the whole corner of the village. But we found no signs of life. Moreover, the crowded market that Rui told me about.

"Rui, what market?" Neo asked in a low voice. We had been around for a long time, but found no crowds anywhere.

Rui shrugged, "I've seen it before even entering the village, Neo. It was the noise that made me come to him. I also don't know why it's so quiet," Rui scratched at a puzzled nape.

I feel the wind around me is not normal. There was a strange energy that was extremely powerful, which made me unable to control this wind.

Boom!

A loud bang made the ground in front of us explode. We were separated by a considerable distance. Neo even bounced a dozen meters away, lying unconscious.

I desperately tried to stand up, looking for Rui's whereabouts. But I found no one around me.

This energy aura is so powerful, the bang must have been caused by an energy that I think is a little familiar ...

"Rui, careful!" I found Rui's position, behind him was a black figure preparing to attack.

I threw Jilly, and pulled Rui near me. The black shadow was everywhere. I can't see the little village anymore. Just looking at the thick smoke rising high.

"Remain, don't inhale the smoke, Jian. It was poisonous," Rui muttered softly before finally fainting.

I took a handkerchief in my small bag, covered it in half of my face. I have to face this black energy. Originally it was Rux, I recognized his energy, as we tried to trap him in the Great Hall of Dixia Academy.

I took out Piu Piu, told him to look for Neo's body, I made a barrier between Rui, so that our fight would not disturb him.

I activated the fox spiritual energy that Bim gave me. Unite it with my Silver Card. Then mobilize it to fight against Rux who is now all over his body covered in black spells.

Srakk!

I groaned, my arm was injured by the Wolf Rux's claw. My sleeves to the point of tearing, the blood was flowing quite profusely.

I stood with trembling legs. Even if I had to bet my life, I would protect my friends at any time.

No one can hurt them!

I roared loudly, just then, Piu Piu underwent an astounding transformation. His body grew many times over, his ears were long and pointed, his claws were like sword eyes, his tail dangling for meters.

Piu Piu ran towards me, standing in front of me very gallantly. For the sake of fighting him, Rux transformed into a snow wolf that was no less gallant. They fight with each other and claw each other.

The occasional movement of Piu Piu's legs created a very strong whirring of wind, he imitated the energy of his master. While Rux fought him with a burst of ice. Piu Piu easily passed through.

I darted looking for Neo's body. Piu Piu canceled moving it with Rui because of my desperate situation.

He turned Rux's attention to give me a gap to find Neo.

"Neo, you're okay, right?" I rushed to embrace him. Neo leaned against one of the walls of the house that had collapsed in half.

I let out a sigh of relief, Neo is fine. I immediately took her flying towards where Rui was laid. There is a barrier that can make it safe.

Neo prevented my hand, "It's okay, Jian. I will come to fight with you," Neo shook his head as I was about to lay him beside Rui.

"But you just recovered, Neo! What if Ruu hurts you again?" I exclaimed in annoyance.

Neo stood up slowly, his horses were not steady, he clenched his hands, Pru appeared in the form of a whip.

The whip gave off flashes of blue lightning. Surrounded by black smoke.

"Neo, your powers—"

"I'm just making use of what's in front of me, Jian. It seemed interesting to kill Ruu with her own magic energy," Neo shot into the air, his whip moving madly, destroying the entire village.

Rux was thrown away after being hit by a single blow from Neo's lightning whip. Piu Piu growled loudly, his voice making the ground tremble. His huge body leaped into the air, landing on the body of Rux who was still in the form of a snow wolf.

Piu Piu ferociously tore off the wolf's ear, one of his eyeballs slipping out of place. Rux turns into a human again with terrible conditions.

Neo stepped on his chest, "I heard that magic entities should not learn forbidden magic. Otherwise, his body will be charred slowly from the first time you use it. If you die, it's not really my fault, is it?" Neo grinned wide, throwing his whip into the air, "This is my last gift to you, my friend!"

Pcut off!!

Rux spewed out an awful lot of blood, his body must have crumbled dimly due to the two blows Neo whips.

It seems that he is not dead yet, even had a chance to chuckle, "Neo, actually, your fate is the same as mine," he said quietly.

Neo hits his whip once more, "Dead you, motherfucker!" his breathing was stingy with a red face.

The rux did not move again after the third blow. The smoke around us disappeared. Followed by the appearance of fireflies with a faint blue light.

Dozens of fireflies turned into mausias when they landed on the ground. Apparently their spiritual energy was absorbed by Ruu, making them trapped inside her spiritual container.

Now Rux is dead, and we saved dozens of lives in this village.

...----------------...

I woke up with a lot of sweat. Looking at my surroundings, I was inside a house. With a pretty old decoration.

"Rui, Neo!" I cried out in panic, I woke up without my two friends by my side. Of course I panicked.

"Eh, Miss, there's no need to panic. Both of your friends were laid in different rooms. Your body condition is fine, you just need to take your medicine, so that the pain in your body subsides, after that I will take you to their room," a young lady smiled happily as she watched me wake up, she sat down beside me and thrust out a tray filled with medicine.

I held my arm that was torn from the wolf's scratch, now wrapped in a bandage neatly.

I nodded politely and immediately took the medicine, it was bitter, but I had to finish it, right?

"Miss, my name is Zhi, I am the fairy that inhabits this village, me and the other villagers are very grateful to you and your two friends, you guys have saved us from the black witch earlier," Zhi lowered her head in front of me with her sweet thanks.

I shook my head slowly, "We didn't do anything, Zhi. It's been assigned to us from the Door Guards of Dixia Academy. He defected and stole their heirloom when we wanted to borrow it," I bowed deeply.

By the way, I told Zhi the incident about the heirloom because he had helped us, also because he looked kind.

Zhi looked at me concernedly, "You are the first dimensional passersby we met with a very sincere heart, may fate side with you," Zhi smiled again.

"How do you know, Zhi?" I asked curious.

"We have the same task as the Door Guards in Dixia Academy. It is guarding an heirloom that leads us to a priceless treasure. There were many dimensional passersby looking for him to return to their world, so far none of them had succeeded, as they simply did not have a pure heart to remove the seal," Zhi happily explained it to me, "Last I heard that the Sand Clock had been stolen by a defector, we tried to take it back, but it just got stuck," Zhi let out a disappointed sigh.

"Zhi, can you take me to Rui and Neo first?" I asked impatiently.

Zhi chuckled softly, "I forgot about it, Miss, forgive me," Zhi escorted me out of the room.

"Which way, Miss, what's your name?" Zhi asked again.

"My name is Jian, my blond friend is Rui, a boy named Neo," I introduced all my friends.

"The man, my brother said his condition was severe, while the blonde one inhaled poisonous fumes from black energy. But they will soon be fine, our fairy clan has never failed in treating someone," Zhi blinked one eye.

I chuckled little, Zhi and her brother must be very kind.

We went into Rui's room, she lay with a pale face, I shed tears, my friend, she was so sorry.
