Chapter 24

After seeing the anomaly on Old Zheng.

Chen Xuan speculated that this was clearly related to some phantom beast.

"You're talking about this!"

"It's an old ailment!"

Hearing Chen Xuan's concerned tone, Old Zheng waved his hand, not caring too much.

Indicating that these were all minor matters.

Then!

He lifted his clothes.

On his body!

There was actually a huge tattoo on his chest.

It was the appearance of a strange phantom beast, with a pair of eyes filled with immense hatred.

"This, this is all trouble I caused when I was young!"

"Have you heard of Dejire?"

"Dejire?"

"That's right, it's Dejire, that legendary phantom beast!"

Old Zheng took out a pipe.

And started smoking.

His expression gradually became distant.

He seemed to have fallen into deep memories!

…

"

In the past, I was also a hunter.

When I was young, I was also full of spirit.

One day!

When I went out hunting.

I encountered a blizzard.

You know very well about this world!

Strange weather can appear anywhere.

At that time, I was trapped in a valley.

Finally, after being trapped for several days!

I couldn't help but want to go back.

So I risked climbing up the cliff.

But!

With my hands and feet frozen.

I was no longer as agile.

I slipped and fell.

Just when I thought my life was over!

A black figure appeared.

A long, narrow body, a slender face, and deep red pupils.

Its eyes carried deep dominance.

What kind of existence was that?

It looked like a heavenly dog.

Dejire!

A legendary phantom beast!

Known for being mysterious and fierce.

It is said that those who see them have no chance of survival.

But!

It saved me as I was falling.

Perhaps it wasn't as terrifying as humans say.

After saving me!

It left that snowy field.

It seemed to be looking for something.

And I, after leaving a word of thanks!

Headed toward the road home.

A few days later!

The blizzard continued.

The snow was a meter thick.

Even though I had left the valley.

I seemed to have lost the ability to survive.

Hunger and cold surrounded me.

And just when I was about to lose all hope for life.

I found a frozen phantom beast cub.

It must have frozen to death!

Because I was too hungry, I didn't check carefully.

Since it hadn't fully grown yet.

I couldn't tell what kind of phantom beast it was.

Hungry as I was, I didn't think too much.

I started a fire.

And didn't care about much else.

I roasted it and ate it.

Just at this moment!

A miserable roar echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

A long, narrow body, a slender face, and deep red pupils slowly emerged in the blizzard.

Looking at Dejire, I understood everything!

How familiar that cub was.

That's right!

That was its child.

I had actually eaten its child.

Anger.

Sadness kept switching in its pupils.

It silently picked up the child's bones.

And disappeared into the ice and snow.

It didn't kill me!

Instead, it left this place!

Fortunate, I survived.

And successfully returned to the village.

Just when I thought nothing had happened!

A terrifying scene appeared.

Every day at a certain time, terrifying things would appear on my face!

It looked just like a zombie. ===== CHAPTER 72 =====

And from that day on, my hands and feet became weak and powerless.

I could never be a hunter again!

And every night, I would have a very terrifying nightmare.

"

Old Zheng recounted the whole story.

After a while, he finally let out a breath.

"Dejire's curse!"

"That was its ability!"

"It didn't kill me immediately, but it placed a curse on me!"

"Using this method to make me suffer for a lifetime!"

"It's really ironic, it saved me, and in the end, it made me live in the shadow of a lifetime."

Old Zheng sighed.

But there was no resentment in his tone.

"Curse?"

After listening to Old Zheng's story.

Chen Xuan understood everything.

There are many strange phantom beasts in this world.

Some phantom beasts possess the ability to make people fall into strange effects.

That is their innate skill.

For example, the Dejire that Old Zheng mentioned just now had this terrifying ability.

"Then why didn't Old Zheng find someone to treat it?"

"If it's a curse caused by a phantom beast, there should be specialized healing-type Beast Masters who can treat it!"

Chen Xuan asked with some confusion.

"Treatment? How could I have not looked for it? I searched all the Beast Masters in the city, but they were helpless."

"Even those healing phantom beasts that reached the Gold level couldn't dispel this curse!"

"Dejire's level is too high; it's not something those ordinary phantom beasts can treat!"

"Later, I figured it out; this is retribution!"

"The evil consequences one causes must be swallowed by oneself!" ===== CHAPTER 73 =====

"Are many high-level Beast Masters helpless?"

"Perhaps we can try asking Xiaobai!"

Looking at Old Zheng!

Chen Xuan suggested with a smile.

If other Beast Masters can't do it.

It might indeed be because Dejire's bloodline level is too high.

Making its curse impossible to dispel by other ordinary phantom beast overlords, or even King-level ones.

But the Light Holy Dragon Xiaobai is a natural healing and dispelling-type phantom beast!

And now its level has reached the seventh rank of the Platinum level.

It is more than enough to dispel a Dejire curse.

Saying this, Chen Xuan called out the Light Holy Dragon Xiaobai.

"Xiaobai?"

"It's useless!"

"Even the phantom beasts of those Gold-level Beast Masters in the city were helpless!"

"Although Xiaobai has healing abilities, both Xiaobai and your level are far behind those high-level Beast Master lords in the city!"

Recently, whenever there were minor injuries or illnesses in the village, they would come to Chen Xuan's Xiaobai for treatment.

So!

In the village, the villagers already regarded Xiaobai as a small physician.

But!

They only thought Xiaobai possessed some basic healing skills for phantom beasts.

They didn't think Xiaobai was any kind of Holy Dragon.

Therefore, Old Zheng didn't hold any fantasies about Xiaobai.

"It's useless, this is meaningless...???"

Old Zheng said while shaking his head.

However, suddenly!

He stopped halfway through his sentence.

A scorching light shone upon his body.

Then!

A black afterimage was slowly expelled from his body.

That was Dejire's shadow!

Awoo!

After that shadow let out a roar of unwillingness.

Under the white light.

It actually slowly dissipated.

"I, I'm actually fine!"

"Hahaha, Dejire's curse has actually been dispelled!"

"I'm really fine!"

Old Zheng was full of surprise.

Revealing an unbelievable smile.

His excited body trembled slightly.

There were even tears in his eyes.

He looked at his chest; the tattoo had long since disappeared!

This curse that had plagued him for decades.

Today, it had finally disappeared.

He revealed an unprecedented look of excitement.

Then, he rushed out.

"Hahaha, old woman, my curse has disappeared!"

He wanted to tell his wife this news immediately.

He even forgot to thank Chen Xuan.

And he didn't react immediately to the fact that Xiaobai could dispel his curse.

Dispelling, a legendary divine technique.

Dejire's curse!

Seeing the happy Old Zheng.

Chen Xuan just watched him leave with a smile.

…

"Hahaha, Plague Rat, let these few villages turn into a living hell!"

"Soon, the humans here will disappear, and it will once again become a paradise for phantom beasts!"

"No, it will become your paradise!"

On a hill far from Lianjing Village.

Zhang Zhang Beiting stood with his phantom beast, looking at the village not far away. ===== CHAPTER 74 =====
