Reborn as a tree, the peerless god is obsessed

Chapter 340 On the Westbound Road (4)

Time passed slowly, and before they knew it, five thousand years had passed. And that terrible calamity still hung like a sharp blade over the heads of the dwarves, constantly threatening their survival and peace.

This invisible blade has been following them like a shadow, making them feel depressed and helpless.

Over the long years, the dwarves gradually got used to this kind of life and even began to accept their fate, believing that they would never be able to escape the shackles of this misfortune.

However, one day, an unexpected change occurred.

That day, a strange light suddenly appeared in the sky, and then, an old man with white eyebrows and beard appeared before everyone. His eyes were deep, as if he could see through the mysteries of all things in the world.

The old man raised his hands slightly, muttered something, and cast a magical spell. Suddenly, a powerful energy descended from the sky and continuously poured into the dwarves' bodies.

This power was like a refreshing rain after a long drought, instantly restoring the vitality and vigor of the exhausted dwarves.

Since then, every time we encountered disaster, the situation was slightly better than before. Although it was still full of dangers, at least it was no longer as hopeless and helpless as before.

When the old man left the Dwarven Kingdom, he left behind a shocking prophecy: "Five thousand years from now, a group of special people will cross the vast desert and arrive here. Each of them possesses unique skills and extraordinary abilities, and they will definitely help you, the Dwarven people, completely break this curse!"

curse?

Yes, it was only at that time that the dwarves learned from the old man that they were cursed.

Xueyao listened quietly to this legendary story, and ripples surged in her heart.

She knew very well that even though she and her companions were extremely powerful, it would be no easy task to deal with such a mysterious and powerful curse.

However, when she thought of the light of hope that might come in the future, her eyes were rekindled with a fire of firm belief. No matter what difficulties and obstacles were waiting ahead, she would lend a hand to the dwarves and help them out of their predicament.

"Your Majesty, we are willing to do everything we can to help the dwarves," Xue Yao said firmly, "but we need more information before we can formulate an effective response strategy."

The Dwarf King nodded, his eyes filled with gratitude. "Fairy Xueyao, you are truly the savior of our dwarven race. I will have our chief wizard explain the details of the curse to you."

Then, the Dwarf King beckoned, and an old man in gorgeous robes stepped out from the shadows. Wisdom gleamed in his eyes, and he was clearly a seasoned wizard.

"Chief Wizard, please explain the curse in detail to Fairy Xueyao." said the Dwarf King.

The chief wizard nodded, turned to Xue Yao, and began to explain in detail the origins of the curse.

It turns out that this curse was not formed naturally, but was cast by an ancient evil wizard who was defeated in a war with the dwarves and cast this curse before his death to take revenge on the dwarves.

"The power of the curse erupts every three hundred years, and each eruption brings a different disaster." The chief wizard explained, "We have tried various methods, but we have never been able to completely remove it."

Xueyao listened carefully and gradually formed a plan in her mind.

"Do you have any clues about that evil wizard, or any signs he left behind?" Xue Yao asked.

The Dwarf King and the Chief Wizard exchanged a glance, a glimmer of hope in their eyes. "We have searched for the wizard's remains, but have never found any clues about him," the Dwarf King said.

When Xueyao heard this, she decided to find another way.

So, Xueyao and her companions began one adventure after another with the assistance of the dwarf wizard.

Qingyi's tracking talent came in handy again. Now, his tracking talent has reached perfection.

They delved deep into ancient ruins, traversed dangerous caves, and even crossed a cursed forest.

With each expedition, they would collect some clues, but they were never able to find the true trace of the evil wizard.

One day, they came to a forgotten underground temple.

This underground temple seemed particularly eerie, its walls engraved with ancient runes that emitted an eerie glow. Xue Yao and her companions moved forward cautiously, fearing they might trigger some kind of trap.

"Everyone be careful, there's something wrong with the atmosphere here." Xue Yao warned in a low voice.

Qing Yi nodded, clutching the Heavenly Sound Jade Flute tightly in his hand, ready to respond to any emergency. His companions also drew their weapons and observed their surroundings warily.

As they were heading deeper into the temple, a chilling wind suddenly blew in from underground, bringing a biting chill. Xueyao felt a sense of foreboding and quickly signaled everyone to stop.

"Be careful, something is coming." She whispered.

Before he could finish his words, a group of ghostly figures emerged from the darkness. They had hideous faces and were emitting shrill screams.

These ghosts are obviously the souls of the dead who are cursed and bound here. Their appearance makes the entire temple even more eerie and terrifying.

Xue Yao cast a spell quickly, and rays of light flew out from her hands, turning into a barrier to protect her companions.

At the same time, other companions also used their respective skills to engage in fierce battles with these ghosts.

The battle was extremely fierce, and the ghosts seemed to be driven by some mysterious power and became more ferocious. Xue Yao kept observing during the battle, trying to find the weaknesses of these ghosts.

After a hard fight, they finally drove back the ghosts. Xueyao discovered that every time a ghost was defeated, it would turn into a wisp of green smoke and disappear into the air.

"These ghosts seem to have some connection with the curse." Xue Yao said thoughtfully.

"Then let's go deeper and maybe we can find the source of the curse." Qingyi suggested.

Everyone nodded and continued to move deeper into the temple. They passed through dark passages and finally arrived at a huge underground hall.

In the center of the hall stood an ancient altar, covered in intricate runes. Xue Yao approached and examined the runes carefully, finding them strikingly similar to the curse runes she had encountered previously.

"It seems we have found the source of the curse." Xue Yao said.

At this moment, the altar suddenly emitted a strong light, and an old and gloomy voice echoed in the hall, "Who dares to disturb my sleep?"

Xueyao and the others looked around warily, only to see a blurry figure slowly emerging from the altar. The figure gradually became clearer, and it turned out to be the legendary evil wizard.

"You ants, how dare you ruin my plan!" the evil wizard roared angrily.

Xue Yao stood up fearlessly. She knew that only by completely defeating the evil wizard could the curse of the dwarves be lifted.

A thrilling battle is about to begin...
