I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 201 Curse You to Turn into a Toad at Midnight
Zhang Chen's pupils shrank when he heard this, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes. He never expected that there was such a secret behind this. The emperor's dominance over the world back then actually had such a hidden story.

"No matter what, the main tomb chamber is right in front of us, and we must go and take a look." Zhang Chen put away the Great Freedom Demon and turned to look at the main tomb chamber door behind him that was dug open by the Rat Demon. Now that the main tomb chamber has been dug open, there is certainly no reason for him not to go in.

"Let's go in and take a look." Zhang Chen was thinking about the skills and points in his mind. Regardless of whether he could obtain treasures, if he had the skills and points, it would not be in vain if he could pick up some.

"What is recorded on the stone tablet?" Zhong Xiang asked, his voice full of curiosity.

"I don't understand!" Zhang Chen gave Zhong Xiang a slap on the back of his head.

"Bah, you can't even fool anyone. Did you look like you couldn't understand that expression just now?"

Zhong Xiang said unhappily.

"You, a great noble, can't understand it. How can I, a poor man, dare to understand it?" Zhang Chen said sarcastically.

After hearing what Zhang Chen said, Zhong Xiang was too lazy to pay attention to him and followed Zhang Chen inside silently.

After walking another seven or eight miles, a white light burst out from the darkness ahead, breaking the dead silence. When Zhong Xiang saw the white light, his eyes lit up: "There is a treasure!"

Then he rushed over without saying anything, fearing that Zhang Chen would take the treasure away. But when he saw that Zhang Chen was still standing there motionless, with no intention of moving forward, Zhong Xiang couldn't help but pause and turned his head to look at Zhang Chen suspiciously.

Based on his understanding of this kid, if there were benefits, why wouldn't the other party rush forward?

"Why don't you fight for the treasure?" Zhong Xiang asked.

Zhang Chen didn't bother to pay attention to him and just walked on his own, with golden light flashing in his eyes, as if he was checking something.

Zhong Xiang knew that Zhang Chen was unusual, and followed Zhang Chen with a serious face. In his mind, Zhang Chen was a man who would never suffer any loss, but now he was so cautious, there must be something terrible lurking.

The two came to the entrance of the light source, and then looked towards the light, they saw that the stone chamber was about 240 square meters in size. There was a stone platform in the center of the stone chamber, and the stone platform was surrounded by pools of water. The water was black, as dark as ink and constantly rolling. In the rolling waves, there seemed to be human faces roaring and struggling under the stone platform, but no sound could be made.

And on the stone platform, there was a coffin. This coffin was different from ordinary coffins because it was half a tree. The tree was two meters thick and three meters high. It was opened in the middle, and a woman was lying inside.

There are still branches hanging on the big tree, the branches are lush and green, and the dense branches and leaves cover the figure of the woman. Only through the gaps between the branches and leaves can a vague outline of the woman be seen.

"That's... the Immortality Willow, which has the effect of prolonging life!"

"Ancient gods and demons! There is actually a body of an ancient demon god that has survived!"

When Zhong Xiang saw the tree trunk in the middle of the pond and the woman lying quietly in the trunk, like Sleeping Beauty, he couldn't help but look ecstatic and rushed over without saying a word.

As for the pool of water, although it looked very strange, he did not take it seriously.

He is the son of destiny, the one chosen by heaven. He has the heart of a unicorn and an immortal body. What difficulties and obstacles in this world can scare him away?
The most important thing is that he must get the Immortality Willow!

The ancestor of the family is about to die. If he can obtain that half of the Immortality Willow, not only can the ancestor's life span be extended, but he will also have the opportunity to increase it. Therefore, he must obtain the Immortality Willow in front of him.

Zhang Chen did not stop Zhong Xiang's actions, because he also wanted to see what the emperor was suppressing and whether he had a chance to suppress the other party with the soul-binding chain.

"Boom~"

Just as Zhong Xiang soared into the air and stepped onto the black water, suddenly a strange cry came from the black pool of water, and then three black figures rushed out from the pool, holding black long swords in their hands, and went straight to kill Zhong Xiang.

"Not good!" The Qilin Heart in Zhong Xiang's heart was beating wildly, and a fatal crisis came. The next moment, flames broke out around his body, and the two closest figures were directly smashed to pieces by Zhong Xiang. However, the two black shadows turned into two streams of black smoke after being smashed, and rushed straight towards Zhong Xiang.

Zhong Xiang was horrified when he saw the black smoke. He knew that this was not a good thing and he must not be hit by the black smoke. He quickly mobilized the flames in his body to burn it. However, the black smoke ignored the flames and directly hit Zhong Xiang's body. Then Zhong Xiang was horrified and his figure flashed and turned into a rainbow light. He quickly retreated from the sky above the black pool and went straight out of the cave. In an instant, he passed Zhang Chen and retreated behind Zhang Chen.

At this time, the last figure in the pool chased after him. When passing by Zhang Chen, the black long sword in his hand cut through the air and slashed straight towards Zhang Chen.

"Fuck, what the hell does this have to do with me? I didn't break in." Zhang Chen looked at the figure that attacked him. He wanted to run, but how could he run faster than Zhong Xiang? Not to mention the ghost-like black shadow.

Fortunately, Zhang Chen's reaction was not slow. The water vapor in his hand gathered and turned into a long sword, which he used to block the black figure that was stabbing towards him.

The result was more easy than Zhang Chen had expected, as if he had slashed in the air. As Zhang Chen parried, the long sword in the figure's hand was directly cut off. Then, Zhang Chen's ice sword was so powerful that the old Taoist couldn't retract it in time, and it slashed through the black sword mist and directly chopped the figure into pieces.

"Bang~"

The black figure exploded and turned directly into a mist, rushing towards Zhang Chen's body.

Zhang Chen hurriedly retreated and used the Suppress Character to try to suppress the black mist, but the black mist actually ignored the Suppress Character and passed through it.

Zhang Chen hurriedly urged the Light of the Righteous God to resist, but the black mist actually ignored the Light of the Righteous God. The Light of the Righteous God seemed to not exist. The black mist went straight through Zhang Chen's body and entangled around Zhang Chen's soul.

The next moment, an ancient, dark, and obscure voice sounded in Zhang Chen's ears: "I curse you, every night at midnight, you will turn into a toad."

Then the sound disappeared, leaving only a wisp of obscure mist that seemed to be attached to Zhang Chen's soul, transforming into a gauze that enveloped Zhang Chen's soul.

"What the hell is this?"

Zhang Chen had a confused look on his face and a look of innocence in his eyes. He was just watching from the side, so how could he suffer such an unexpected disaster for no reason?
Zhang Chen hurried to see Zhong Xiang, and saw Zhong Xiang standing there with an even uglier look on his face.

"How are you?" Zhang Chen asked. At this moment, he was not angry, nor did he blame Zhong Xiang for being implicated, because the two of them were one and the same, and there was no question of who implicated whom.

Zhong Xiang was hit by two curses, so it should have been much more serious than his own.

"I'm cursed, and there are two curses. The first curse is that I will turn into a toad at midnight every day, and the second curse is that I must eat grass on the 15th of every month, otherwise I will turn into a donkey!" Zhong Xiang's face turned green, his voice was full of fear, and his eyes stared at Zhang Chen: "What about you? How are you?"

Zhang Chen was hit by a cloud of black smoke, and there should have been at least a curse.

"Every night at midnight I will turn into a toad for an hour." Zhang Chen's face was ashen. The two looked at each other, both silent. Then they looked at the pool of water, and the air fell into an eerie silence.

"Is this curse true or false? Could it be a scare tactic? Was it left behind by the ancients to scare people?" Zhong Xiang still had a glimmer of hope in his heart at this time. He didn't want to turn into a toad.

Zhang Chen said unhappily: "What do you think?"

Zhong Xiang's face turned bitter when he heard that. He stood there with his head hung down, looking at the tumbling black water in the pool.

"Can we use our strength to suppress the curse?" Zhong Xiang proposed a hypothesis.

"It's theoretically feasible, but..." Zhang Chen thought of the other party's origin. That person was an existence that could not be killed by the imperial capital and could only be suppressed helplessly. What power could suppress the power of this curse?
Zhang Chen was halfway through his words when he glanced at the black pool in front of him, wanting to see if there were any skills he could pick up and find a way to crack the skills. Unfortunately, Zhang Chen was disappointed because there were no skills at all.

"This is difficult! What should we do this time?" Zhang Chen also had a worried look on his face.

At this time, both of them looked towards the pool, and no one dared to approach rashly.

"Let's wait and see if we can suppress the curse on the first night." Zhong Xiang sat down on the ground beside him. He no longer had any energy and didn't even care about the Immortality Willow and the bodies of the ancient gods and demons.

"Have you noticed it a long time ago? Otherwise, why did you suddenly become less proactive? Do you want me to take the lead for you and trick me?" Zhong Xiang seemed to remember something, turned his head to look at Zhang Chen, and questioned him.

"Don't blame me. I just think that the ancient tomb of gods and demons is not that simple, so I am a little cautious." Zhang Chen immediately rejected Zhong Xiang's idea and even accused him: "If you hadn't been reckless and wanted to embezzle the treasure and activated the curse in the pool, how could you have implicated me?"

Zhang Chen turned the tables and his words were full of accusations.

Zhong Xiang knew that he was in the wrong, so he lowered his head and did not refute Zhang Chen's words.

Time passed bit by bit, and finally when midnight arrived, Zhang Chen was suddenly surrounded by black smoke. The righteous divine light in his body burst out, trying to fight against the power of the black smoke. However, he only resisted for seven or eight breaths. The next moment, Zhang Chen's body twisted and turned into an ugly toad.

On the other side, Zhong Xiang's body also began to flash red light. He resisted a little longer than Zhang Chen, for seventy or eighty breaths. Finally, the fiery red light was suppressed, and he turned into a toad.

“Qua~~~”

Zhong Xiang screamed in despair, but what came out was the sound of a toad. His voice was full of horror and he was on the verge of emotional collapse.

Zhang Chen also looked unhappy. He lowered his head and looked at his own toad palm, with a hint of embarrassment in his eyes: "This curse is really difficult to deal with!"

Zhong Xiang Toad said: "What should I do?"

Zhang Chen said, "This is a big problem. We are not able to resist the power of this curse."

Zhong Xiang: "I don't want to live anymore! How can I turn into a toad? Once I turn into a toad, I will be vulnerable. If someone assassinates me now, I will definitely die."

Zhang Chen: "..."

As the two of them chattered, Zhang Chen suddenly realized something was wrong: "How did you turn into a female toad? Hahaha, you turned into a female toad, even your gender changed, you can't move your penis when you pee."

Zhong Xiang was furious: "This damn curse is not something I can control, so shut up."

"Let me see it quickly." Zhang Chen looked at Zhong Xiang and couldn't help wanting to tease him. He jumped and pounced directly on Zhong Xiang and pressed him under him.

"Ah..." Zhong Xiang was horrified: "What do you want to do, you bastard!!!"

Zhong Xiang quickly crawled out from under Zhang Chen, jumping around to avoid being captured by Zhang Chen.

"Little brother, you've become a woman. Given our relationship, it's not too much for you to ask me to have some fun, right?" Zhang Chen kept chasing after him, his voice full of teasing and mockery.

"Get out of my way! Get out of my way quickly!" Zhong Xiang screamed in despair, jumping around to avoid it.

The two chased each other in the cave, and after playing for a while, Zhang Chen stopped chasing and asked with a worried look on his face: "What should we do now?"

"We must find a way to break this curse. We can't turn into a toad every day at midnight. If we keep going on like this, the truth will be revealed sooner or later." Zhong Xiang stopped and looked at Zhang Chen with vigilance.

"It's difficult to break this curse." Zhang Chen looked at the water with his toad eyes: "Perhaps the power to break the curse lies under the water."

"Do you dare to go? A ray of black air is a curse. If anyone falls into it, they will die." Zhong Xiang cursed, "The most important thing is that this curse is really disgusting. Even if he cursed me to die directly, I would accept it! But who knew that he actually cursed me to turn into a toad? What kind of evil taste does the person who invented this curse have!"

This curse is not very lethal, but it is extremely insulting.

Look at what is happening, that every day at midnight it turns into a toad?
Is this a normal curse?
Of course, if the curser is still alive and knows that his opponent has turned into a toad, he can come and kill him in the middle of the night, which would be a great killing move.

The key is……

Zhang Chen was speechless. He finally understood why this cursed demon was sealed by the emperor. This guy really had a bad taste.

An hour seemed extremely long at this moment. Zhang Chen and Zhong Xiang looked at each other, their two pairs of toad eyes staring at each other. However, when Zhang Chen looked at Zhong Xiang opposite him, he always felt something strange in his heart. For some reason, he always felt that the female toad opposite him was more and more lovely and more and more beautiful the more he looked at her.

"I guess I'm sick! My mind has started to get abnormal." Zhang Chen raised his toad paw and slapped himself hard, hoping to wake himself up.

"What are you doing?" Zhong Xiang saw Zhang Chen's actions and couldn't help but ask curiously.

Zhang Chen ignored the other party. The thought that he was actually interested in a female toad made him feel sick. He felt so sick to the extreme that he was about to vomit.

"It seems that I have really turned into a toad! The power of this curse is too great." Zhang Chen's eyes showed a hint of helplessness. He slowly closed his eyes and did not look at the female toad opposite him. There was a hint of embarrassment in his eyes: "I must break this damn curse."
