Chapter 670 That's such a pity.
"Are you feeling any discomfort?"
Xu Ning turned around and asked the two people behind him.
Ed seemed lost in thought. Hearing Xu Ning's question, he looked up and replied blankly, "Hmm? I don't feel uncomfortable. On the contrary, for some reason, I feel extremely peaceful..."
Ying, however, sensed the meaning behind Xu Ning's question: "Is the room we're in upside down? Or are we actually upside down?"
Upon hearing this, Ed finally remembered to look at the buildings around him.
"We're standing on the ceiling! Has this palace been turned upside down?"
Xu Ning jumped lightly on the spot and shook his head, saying, "The most likely possibility is that we are currently hanging upside down in this hall. Although it looks like we are standing on flat ground, my senses keep reminding me that something is wrong with this space."
"Although we haven't encountered any danger so far, we must be more vigilant on the road ahead."
Seeing that the two nodded seriously, Xu Ning immediately led them to the center of the rooftop.
As if sensing someone's arrival, the ceiling in the center split into three, revealing a wide triangular opening.
Ed peered into the somewhat deep ground, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Should we jump?"
“Or perhaps it should be said that we should ‘jump on’,” Xu Ning joked. “Why don’t you wait here for a while, we…”
Ed pleaded, “Let me go down with you. I want to learn as much as possible about the Hilichurls.”
Thinking of Calibel lying motionless in that wooden house, Xu Ning finally agreed to Ed's request.
Xu Ning and Ying each supported one of Ed's arms, and then jumped "down".
Another door.
However, a new figure appeared this time.
An apostle from the abyss suddenly appeared at the door, his words as chilling as the chill emanating from him.
"Halt, humans. You have not been permitted to come here to seek 'destiny'..."
Xu Ning ignored the guy's warning and instead looked at Ying beside him.
Xu Ning had already fought against the Abyss Apostles. Although they were much stronger than the Abyss Mages, they still posed no great threat to him.
His only concern was Ying's attitude.
However, seeing that the Abyss Apostle treated Luminous no differently than it had treated them, Luminous placed her hand on the hilt of her sword in a defensive stance.
It is highly likely that this Abyss Apostle and Ying are not on the same side.
This is much easier to handle.
Xu Ning took a sip of wine and took a step forward.
"What? You insist on having an audience? Very well, then let me bestow upon you the trials of fate!"
The Abyss Apostle immediately responded to Xu Ning's reaction, waving his hands and creating ice blades formed from condensed cold air on his arms.
"Looks like we're going to have a fight, which is exactly what I wanted..."
Just as Xu Ning was about to make a move, Ying stepped forward.
"Let me do it. Your breath smells of alcohol and might affect Ed."
Xu Ning was taken aback, not expecting Ying to have considered things so meticulously.
He was actually a little afraid that Ying would have difficulty attacking the Abyss Apostle in front of him because of her identity, so he took the initiative to step forward.
However, seeing that Ying had already engaged in combat with her opponent and was making moves without hesitation or mercy, he immediately felt relieved and squatted down with Ed to watch the two fight.
Ed was stunned by the extraordinary power and fighting style of the two, but he still didn't forget to ask Xu Ning.
What did he mean by that? How did your alcohol affect me?
Xu Ning hesitated for a moment, but still told him the truth.
"I've mixed something strange into my wine, something that seems to neutralize the curse on you... Don't get me wrong, it doesn't mean it can remove the curse..."
Seeing the light of hope suddenly ignite in Ed's eyes, Xu Ning quickly explained.
"...The curse cannot be lifted. It has been tested on Hilichurls and will only destroy your bodies, turning you directly into black mist and disappearing."
Ed stared intently at the gourd of wine in Xu Ning's hand for a while, but finally, with great willpower, he turned his head to watch the fight.
“That’s… a real shame. After all, I still need to save Calibel…”
