Breaking the Curse
"Our tribe is a tribe cursed by an ancient curse. There are more than 1,000 people in the tribe, all of whom are women and there are no men."
"Ah?"
Hua Qiang couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"It's all women, no men, then..."
He didn't say anything more, but how could someone as clever as Zi Furong not understand?
"Young master, do you want to ask us how to reproduce and thrive?"
"Cough cough!"
Hua Qiang coughed twice and then scratched his head.
"There is a spring in our tribe called Twin Springs, also known as Yin Yang Spring."
"If any woman in the tribe wants to have a child, she only needs to soak in that spring for a period of time, and she will be able to get pregnant when she comes back."
"However, the babies born after pregnancy are always daughters. For hundreds of years, no one has ever given birth to even a single son."
Hua Qiang gasped in shock. "Damn, this is too far-fetched."
Isn't this the legendary Daughter Kingdom?
Once Zi Furong started talking, it was as if she had found someone to confide in, and she began to chatter on and on.
"We are not all women, there are no men, and our lives are cursed, with time constantly counting down."
"We must go out and hunt Time Beast. Killing Time Beast will give us time, which will also prolong our lives."
Currently, the longest lifespan of any of us who are considered "traitors" is only one month, while our combat troops generally only have one week, or seven days, to live.
If we fail to hunt down the Time Beast, we won't be able to replenish our time.
We can only kill them one by one at each point in time, and the tribe also needs us, the able-bodied warriors, to hunt for time to prolong their lives.
Holy crap!
Hua Qiang was speechless. A cursed tribe, a group without men, a tribe that was constantly on a countdown.
What kind of heinous crime did they commit to deserve such punishment?
"When did your tribe's curse begin? Is there any way to break it?"
Zi Furong shook her head, looking very dejected, and said, "I don't know when it started, but this situation in our tribe has lasted for hundreds of years."
Moreover, we cannot escape this world; we are like prisoners locked in a cage, forced to survive in this environment.
We cannot leave this world, because only here can the Time Beast reside.
These Time Beast seem to be our companions; we must rely on them to survive.
However, every time we hunt the Time Beast, we face a huge crisis, often being hunted back and killed, becoming their food.
"As for the method to break the curse, only a powerful curse Curse Master can break it. Otherwise, we will be trapped in this cage for generations to come."
I see...
Hua Qiang raised an eyebrow. Wasn't he a Curse Master himself?
And the level seems to be quite high!
Hua Qiang stared intently at Zi Furong.
The fact that all of Zi Furong's clothes had been stripped off by the other party made her feel ashamed.
Why is this person like this?
Even if you saved them, you shouldn't stare at her like that!
This...
Suddenly, Zi Furong felt a sense of disgust, and the image of Hua Qiang Qiangyuan as a beautiful woman vanished from her mind.
At this moment, Hua Qiang did not notice the change in Zi Furong's expression. Instead, he saw the faint black aura on Zi Furong's body.
It seems this is the sealing power of an ancient curse!
Hua Qiang looked away and noticed that Zi Furong's expression was not good, which puzzled him.
Why did this woman suddenly change her expression? Is she on her period?
"Well, I just examined your body carefully and found a mysterious force that is binding you and devouring your bodily functions."
"What?"
Zi Furong exclaimed in surprise.
"You can see the curse power lurking in my body, you... you... do you know curse magic?"
"Are you Curse Master?"
Hua Qiang smiled and nodded, saying, "I wouldn't call myself Curse Master, but I know a little bit about it!"
"Then, then, can you remove the curse from my body?" Zi Furong excitedly grabbed Hua Qiang's arm.
Hua Qiang pondered for a moment, and his hesitation made Zi Furong's heart clench. She stared intently at Hua Qiang, afraid that he would shake his head.
"Can!"
"Very good!"
As soon as Zi Furong uttered those three words, her eyes reddened and tears streamed down her face.
The other 19 girls around them clenched their fists, raised their arms, and shouted, "Oh, we're saved!"
"We will no longer suffer the torment of the curse, nor will we ever worry about not having enough time and our lives ending at any moment!"
Heaven ultimately did not abandon us; angels descended to save us!
At this moment, Hua Qiang's status in the hearts of these girls rose once again, and they all became their savior.
Hua Qiang spread his Spiritual Sense outwards and confirmed that there was no potential danger within a radius of several dozen miles.
So he beckoned to the girls and said, "Everyone, sit down and relax. I'll check you all and see if I can remove the curse from your bodies!"
"Let the captain go first!"
All nineteen girls turned their gazes to Zi Furong, showing how highly she was regarded by them.
Zi Furong's feelings at this moment were hard to describe; she even wanted to punch herself hard.
Why did she have such a despicable thought as to doubt her benefactor and even believe that he had those kinds of feelings for her?
Now, as long as Hua Qiang gives even the slightest hint, she will absolutely strip naked and then strike the pose he needs.
"All right!"
Hua Qiang didn't waste any more time with them. He immediately sat cross-legged in front of Zi Furong and then began to practice the Blood Demon Scripture.
A powerful suction force emanated from his body, Zi Furong felt that the mysterious energy binding her, deep within her flesh and blood, was being constantly stripped away and then extracted from her body.
Gradually, wisps of black gas began to emerge from her body. The gas grew thicker and thicker, turning into a layer of Black Mist that enveloped her.
The Black Mist seemed to be struggling desperately, unwilling to leave her body and wanting to go back in.
However, under Hua Qiang's powerful devouring force, the Black Mist moved further and further away from Zi Furong's body.
Hua Qiang was enveloped in a layer of blood-red mist, which instantly spread out and enveloped the Black Mist.
The next moment, the Black Mist was gradually swallowed up by the blood mist, until finally, not a trace remained.
The blood mist on Hua Qiang's body gradually seeped back into his body.
He opened his eyes, stopped his cultivation, looked at Zi Furong who was excited and had tears streaming down her face, Wen Dao, "How are you feeling?"
Waaaaah...
Zi Furong burst into tears, and then said between sobs, "Thank you! Thank you for saving my life, my benefactor."
I feel like all the curse power in my body is gone. I'm a normal person now.
With full health, I no longer worry about dying at any moment.
Wow...
The nineteen girls surrounding them all burst into tears. Their cries contained grievances, pain, and sorrow... but even more so, joy and hope.
