The Game with Fairies - Chapter 373

Chapter 373: The Curse of the Wandering Immortals

The dark night spread across the land like a curtain, intent on completely enveloping the wind-swept terrain.

As the continent where Li Muyang was located greeted the dawn and brightened with the morning light, the northern regions of Heavenly Origin Continent were shrouded in nightfall and the setting sun.

Li Muyang ran through the wilderness and forests, with the sharp, strange laughter of the wandering immortals behind him.

These long-lost creatures had once again come knocking and were in pursuit.

They drifted among the shadows, their eerie forms flickering in and out of sight in the woods, relentlessly chasing.

Li Muyang wrinkled his brow as he smelled the familiar foul stench in the air.

He felt a sticky, cold sensation on his back once again.

Those two little girls had once again hidden in his shadow.

As Li Muyang raced through the forest, the two little girls shouted loudly.

“Dragon Goddess sister, run! Those guys are catching up!”

The Mother Buddha was aware of Li Muyang and Dragon Maiden’s situation, and it seemed that these two little girls were too.

During the day and night that Li Muyang was offline, they had apparently enjoyed their time with Dragon Maiden, even affectionately calling her sister.

Li Muyang shook his head indifferently, “I’m back now. Can someone tell me what’s going on? Why have we provoked the wandering immortals?”

Previously, when he was within the borders, two wandering immortals, one tall and one short, had pursued Li Muyang.

But after he used the Blood Nightmare Technique to kill them several times, and even though he had dispelled the technique, those two wandering immortals never appeared again.

Li Muyang thought that the wandering immortals had decided not to bother him anymore.

However, he hadn’t expected to be chased by wandering immortals again upon logging in, and this time by several of them…

Just logging in and immediately entering a battle phase, Li Muyang was still confused.

Why were the wandering immortals chasing him?

And why run? Were these wandering immortals that strong?

As Li Muyang ran at full speed, he occasionally glanced back.

The wandering immortals in the wilderness appeared and disappeared, but they didn’t seem strong enough to be too strong to fight against.

Now that the Moon-Biting Dragon had leveled up to LV10, he might not be able to provoke the likes of Mother Buddha, White Second Master, or the supreme beings behind the wandering immortals, but dealing with a few wandering immortals shouldn’t necessitate a desperate escape, right?

Li Muyang looked puzzled.

The voices of the two little girls rang in his ears.

“These wandering immortals suddenly popped up and started trying to kill you without explanation.”

“Li Muyang, you better run and don’t look back!”

“We’re hiding in your shadow, don’t get us in trouble!”

Knowing that Li Muyang had logged in, the little girls’ tone suddenly became less gentle and less cute.

They urgently urged Li Muyang to run and not to linger.

Because Li Muyang often looked back and due to the stiffness from logging in, the group of wandering immortals was almost upon them.

Seeing the wandering immortals getting closer, the two little girls were extremely anxious.

Dragon Maiden’s voice then reached Li Muyang’s ears.

“…These two little aunts of yours said wandering immortals can’t be killed.”

“They say that every time a wandering immortal is killed, when it resurrects, it will place a curse of resentment on the killer.”

“The more times you kill a wandering immortal, the stronger the curse of resentment that will be placed on you.”

“After being cursed multiple times, the killer will encounter strange, unlucky disasters. The more curses placed, the more misfortune, and one might even die suddenly without reason.”

“Unless there is a way to completely annihilate the wandering immortals and making them unable to resurrect, you should run upon seeing them!”

After Dragon Maiden finished speaking, she sounded helpless: “I don’t dare to gamble, so I dare not strike at these wandering immortals, only to avoid them.”

“Fortunately, they’re slow and can’t catch up with us.”

As Li Muyang sped up, the wandering immortals in the forest were once again left behind.

Just as Dragon Maiden said, the wandering immortals were too slow.

If Li Muyang sprinted with all his might, he could quickly shake them off.

But the information Dragon Maiden shared was astonishing to Li Muyang.

“These wandering immortals have such abilities?”

To be cursed every time one is killed?

Then, the many times he had remotely cursed and killed those two wandering immortals using the Blood Devil technique…

Li Muyang suddenly remembered that upon returning home to visit his family, he was inexplicably targeted by the demon cultivators of the Qingyang Association and was forced to flee for several days.

Could it be because he killed wandering immortals and was cursed?

Li Muyang asked, “Doesn’t your Mother Buddha Temple have a way to completely eradicate wandering immortals, making them unable to resurrect?”

If wandering immortals were so troublesome that no one could kill them, and killing them once resulted in a curse, then these wandering immortals were essentially invincible.

The Mother Buddha Temple, a power that stood unshaken in the borderlands, must have a way to deal with wandering immortals.

Sure enough, the two little girls spoke up.

“There is a way!”

“But we can’t tell you!”

“If we tell you, our mother will definitely strangle us!”

“Li Muyang, you just need to run. The wandering immortals can’t catch up with you!”

The two little girls urged Li Muyang, one after the other.

They were afraid of the paper people from Yangshou Mountain and also of the group of wandering immortals in front of them.

The strength of these two little girls was unclear, but they were genuinely timid.

Li Muyang, who had noticed this, narrowed his eyes slightly.

He deliberately slowed down his running and flying speed, allowing the group of wandering immortals to follow far behind him, yet unable to catch up immediately.

The distance between them sometimes widened and sometimes narrowed, always maintaining an ambiguous gap.

The two little girls became anxious.

“Li Muyang, what are you doing?”

“Run faster, shake them off!”

“Wandering immortals are everywhere outside the borders, there will be more and more chasing us soon!”

“If you don’t shake them off quickly, there will be so many wandering immortals chasing you that you’ll have nowhere to run!”

The two little girls urged him urgently.

Li Muyang remained calm: “I need to conserve my strength.”

Ignoring the girls’ urging, he said calmly, “We are on the path to seek the remains of immortals. The situation ahead is unclear. What if we suddenly find the remains?”

“If I use all my strength to run, what will I do if I find the remains and have no energy left?”

“Don’t worry, I have a plan. They won’t be able to catch up like this.”

Watching the number of wandering immortals chasing through the wilderness behind him increase out of thin air, Li Muyang’s gaze turned cold.

These wandering immortals really were everywhere, just as the little girls had said.

But these two little girls, who were supposed to help him find his way down the mountain, had been indulging in eating, drinking, and playing the whole time with no intention of guiding him.

Under these circumstances, Li Muyang had to resort to some tricks.

As expected, his words immediately made the two little girls frantic.

“You… you’re doing this on purpose!”

But just as the little girls were about to scold him, Li Muyang’s pace slowed down again.

He actually propped his hands on his knees, standing on the hillside to catch his breath: “Huff… I’m so tired, I need a rest.”

This brief pause allowed the group of wandering immortals to close in to within a hundred zhang.

The two little girls screamed in terror.
