Chapter 267 – Mochi Mochi’s Experience

Chapter 267 – Mochi Mochi’s Experience

At the other end of the town, the thin and tall Mochi Mochi, wearing a black dress, was anxiously walking down the street with an unconscious maid in one hand.

He came under the fence at the edge of the town and tried to jump up, but just as he landed on the fence, he was stopped back by a transparent barrier.

“Somewhat interesting, somewhat interesting, the scale of this curse is large enough to envelop the entire town. And the power that hits the barrier is evenly dispersed, so if we can’t find a breakthrough, we won’t be able to force our way out with our abilities. Damn it, damn it, the city gates aren’t a breakthrough, and neither is the very top of the sky! Where exactly is the breakthrough?”

At that moment, the sound of crashing water rang out behind Mochi Mochi.

He hurriedly turned around and saw huge waves of blood like a tsunami crossing the streets and chasing after his footsteps.

Mochi Mochi frowned fiercely, he had seen this scene several times before.

Suddenly he threw one of the maids out, and seeing that it was engulfed by the wave of blood, he took the only remaining maid and quickly left in the opposite direction.

He had tried to fend off the blood wave with his sorcery before, yet the sorcery would be instantly engulfed by the blood wave. However, the living person thrown out could instead briefly block the course of the blood wave.

Along the way, he had already thrown in quite a few living people that he had met halfway.

Now he had realized that he was afraid that he had intruded into an official sorcerer level curse area, not some place that cultivated curses.

“But how could such a cursed area appear in the human principality region? How?” Mochimochi’s mouth was bitter, “Who in the world set up this curse and faked it outside to trick me into coming in?”

After listening to Sol’s description, he thought that this place had been turned into a place to cultivate curses by someone with a heart.

The source of cultivation was either a powerful seed of evil thoughts or a terrifying evil spirit.

Either way, it was a valuable asset to a third level apprentice.

Greed instantly surged through Mochi Mochi’s heart.

He was ostensibly trying to maintain the majesty of the Sorcerer’s Tower, but in actuality, he wanted to rush to snatch the source of the Cursed Land before the others finished cultivating it.

A curse cultivated with a small town must be incomparably powerful.

So Mochi Mochi followed Saul and hurried over, then anxiously separated from Saul to search for the source of that curse.

After all, a cultivated curse could recognize its owner.

Come too late, and it would belong to someone else.

But the terror of this cursed place was far beyond Mochi Mochi’s imagination.

So much so that for a while, he thought that Saul had deliberately lured him in.

But Saul was not capable of this, and he had walked in himself.

But just because you can’t fight the curse doesn’t mean you can’t escape.

Mochi Mochi saved a few survivors from where someone had just screamed. It wasn’t that he was so kind-hearted, but these survivors could help him block the blood waves for a while.

A single life would allow him to explore an extra block, so the blood waves generated by the curse couldn’t harm him for the time being.

It was just that after strolling through half of the town, not knowing how many dangers he had bumped into, and escaping from the blood waves several times, the bait in his hand was now down to the last, and he still hadn’t found the key point to escape the town.

He didn’t know what kind of strength the person who could set up this cursed place possessed.

“If it really comes to a critical point,” his eyes drifted to the distance, where Saul and he were separated, “maybe Saul can still help me buy a little time.”

He spread out his hand, and in it was a golden ancient coin.

But this coin was not yet the same as the one he had thrown to Sol. It had the same beautiful face on both sides, but this time it was a bitter face.

At that moment, the maid clutched in Mochi Mochi’s hand groaned and woke up.

“Ah!!!”

As soon as the maid woke up, she saw Mochi Mochi who made her incredibly fearful.

This terrible sorcerer had once saved them who were running away together.

At that time, they thought it was the sorcerer sent by the Khema Duchy to fetch them. But then this sorcerer pressed them to explore the town. Every time they encountered a blood-colored current, they threw one of them out to stall for time.

At first they thought they could escape quickly and acquiesced to this practice of sacrificing a few people by the sorcerer.

However, as time passed, the maid finally realized that the sorcerer wasn’t trying to leave at all.

Those who would be sacrificed were not a few, but all!

With only three left, they finally broke down and fled individually.

The maid had just run a short distance away when her whole body suddenly shook and she fainted.

When she woke up and looked around, she realized that she was still in the hands of that terrible sorcerer, and she was the only one left around.

“Oooooooh.” How could the desperate maid not have imagined that in just half a day’s work, their line of noble status union team was nearly wiped out.

“Please, let me go.” The maid clasped her hands together and placed them against her chin, pleading.

“Shut up, shut up, can’t you see I’m thinking?” Mochi Mochi impatiently pressed her hand against the maid’s face.

Although his hand was quickly removed, the maid suddenly realized that her face was itching like crazy.

She ran her hand over it and felt a fine piece of fluff, like one of those short-pile carpets, which was quite comfortable to touch.

But when the maid felt this comfortable touch on her own face, she only felt incomparably horrible.

She scratched her face fiercely, and then saw black fuzz in the crevices of her fingernails.

She opened her mouth and was just about to scream when she realized that her own mouth was also itchy.

From her lips, it tickled all the way down her throat.

And she couldn’t make any more sound.

The extreme fear broke through the maid’s mental capacity, and in the next second, her eyes rolled over and she fainted once more.

Only then did Mochi Mochi satisfactorily pick up the maid who had fainted due to pain and fear, “Tsk tsk, last bait, should be able to fight for another five minutes.”

Although he had wandered through half of the town and wasted a lot of living bait, Mochi Mochi wasn’t all bad.

With a sudden change of direction he twisted his head and ran towards the center of town.

There was a small square near the center of the town. At the edge of the square stood an old clock tower that wasn’t too eye-catching.

Originally, Mochi Mochi didn’t pay much attention to that clock tower.

It wasn’t the center of the town, it looked old, and it wasn’t even the tallest building in the town.

It wasn’t very important either way.

But after summarizing the experience of being chased by blood waves several times, Mochi Mochi suddenly found a strange point.

Almost all of the blood waves, when they appeared, were surging from all around the town towards the center.

But only when the blood wave was encountered near that clock tower, the blood wave flowed from the center of the town towards the clock tower.

“My previous speculation was wrong. Not every street here connects to the town center. Therefore the blood waves flowing along the streets are only converging towards the center of the town in general. Now it seems that the real destination of those tides isn’t the town center, but that clock tower!”

“Since no breakthrough has been found in the surrounding area, the true path of escape is most likely in the key node of the cursed area – the clock tower!”

Mochi Mochi grinned a thin smile.

Still carrying the unconscious maid in his hand, he leapt high with his legs, jumping over a low residential building and heading towards the bell tower.

There are no more three shifts today. Sick.
