The King of Urban Mercenaries-Chapter 1462 - 1466: Dragon Clan Curse
Time jumped two days ahead once again. In these two days, Lin Fei experienced too many inexplicable events. Sometimes, while sleeping, he suddenly felt something smooth and icy cold slowly crawling over his hand, jolting him awake. When he turned on the light, he found snakes of all sizes coiled around his bed.
Lin Fei gazed at the snakes of various colors—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple—and as a normal person awakened from sleep to discover his bed covered in long, slippery snakes flicking their tongues, the feeling was undoubtedly indescribable. Lin Fei let out his first-ever scream of pure terror.
"Ah!!"
Lin Fei leaped off the bed and hurriedly ran out of the room.
Hearing Lin Fei’s scream, Jian Xing and Immortal Wei Huo rushed out from their rooms and quickly appeared before Lin Fei. "Lin Fei, what’s wrong?" Immortal Wei Huo asked.
"Snakes! So many snakes!" Lin Fei cried out in fear.
Immortal Wei Huo and Jian Xing opened the door, and indeed, they saw the room full of snakes slithering toward Lin Fei. It’s no wonder Lin Fei was frightened when over a hundred snakes were rushing at him.
"Damn it! There are even cobra snakes! Immortal Wei Huo, save me!" Lin Fei pleaded with Immortal Wei Huo. However, as Lin Fei jumped up, a cobra immediately lunged at him, biting his leg. Lin Fei cried out, "Immortal, I’m poisoned!"
Immortal Wei Huo quickly examined Lin Fei’s injury and found that although the cobra had bitten him, there were no signs of poisoning—it hadn’t injected venom.
"Lin Fei, we’d better leave for now. Two days remain, and we cannot afford any mistakes. You shouldn’t sleep in the room these next two days," Immortal Wei Huo suggested. Lin Fei wholeheartedly agreed with him and quickly ran outside. But as soon as he opened the door, he saw snakes covering the ground, waiting for him.
Bang!
Lin Fei slammed the door shut swiftly, exclaiming, "It’s no good! It’s all snakes outside!"
Heavenly Fire Immortal and Jian Xing exchanged glances, both noticing the solemn look in the other’s eyes. The situation was too unusual, leaving them somewhat at a loss.
Heavenly Fire Immortal stepped forward, opened the door, grabbed Lin Fei’s clothes, and darted out into the air outside.
"Heavenly Fire Immortal, land on the rooftop first!" Lin Fei suggested, given the morning workout time when people were around who might accidentally see them.
Heavenly Fire Immortal immediately landed on the rooftop, where Jian Xing also arrived, asking, "What’s with the snakes?"
"You should know, brother Jian Xing. What’s the snake clan curse in the Upper Realm all about?" Lin Fei inquired.
"Snake clan curse? There’s no snake clan in the Upper Realm, only the Dragon Clan," Jian Xing replied.
"How could that be? Didn’t Heavenly Fire Immortal say there was a snake clan?" Lin Fei turned to Heavenly Fire Immortal.
Heavenly Fire Immortal chuckled awkwardly and said, "Ancient texts mention it, though the characters differ from our Lower Realm, so there might be some errors. Regardless, dragons and snakes mix, indicating they’re one family. So, no distinction, right...?" He felt uncertain about whether there’s a difference, but believed there likely wasn’t.
However, Jian Xing shook his head and said, "There is a difference. The Dragon Clan curse is very powerful, so you’re in grave danger now. If there are only two days left, your chances aren’t good."
"No, if I’m truly doomed, these snakes would’ve bitten me to death long ago. Take the cobra, for instance; its venom is extremely lethal, one bite would be enough for me to suffer. I even saw black mamba among them, a deadlier snake. If they intended to harm me, they’d have bitten me directly, and I’d be dead long ago. But look how gentle they are, not attacking me," Lin Fei explained, thinking it seemed more like nothing to worry about.
Immortal Wei Huo nodded in agreement, sharing the sentiment. He said, "I think Lin Fei makes a good point. After all, these snakes aren’t aggressive, so the curse might’ve been lifted, or it’s exerting its final effect."
Jian Xing shook his head and said, "You’re overthinking, and far too optimistically. The Dragon Clan is inherently noble; in the Upper Realm, they even look down on the Human Clan. The dragon’s majesty naturally suppresses all species, extremely powerful. These snakes approached you because they sensed that aura, so continue, and I believe you’ll summon a dragon."
Upon hearing Jian Xing’s words, Lin Fei and Immortal Wei Huo were amazed, not expecting such a thing. Lin Fei was even more puzzled, asking, "What do you mean by summoning? How to summon the Dragon Clan, is it possible that my curse can summon dragons from the Upper Realm?"
Jian Xing nodded and said, "The world is big, full of wonders. Similarly, the Dragon Clan has their unique system, which includes summoning. Summoning comes in many forms, the Curse Power especially troublesome and strong. Dragon Clan curses are always marked on their enemies, so Curse Power summons strong beings from the Dragon Clan to eliminate their enemies. You’re nearly doomed."
"What?!"
Lin Fei was stunned, not realizing he’d reached such a point. He hurriedly asked Jian Xing, "Brother Jian Xing, you can’t leave me to die. You have to find a solution, have any good ideas?"
Jian Xing shook his head, saying, "No ideas, as my power is too weak, I can’t lift the Dragon Clan curse. Moreover, the curse isn’t something ordinary people can solve, not even strong humans may manage."
"What should I do then? Is Master the only option?" Lin Fei wondered, thinking if that’s the case, why wait any longer; he should immediately have Master come.
"That could work too, of course your processing method I see, I heard about it while out town, but that method only delays the curse, curing it might be difficult," Jian Xing said, originally unaware of the Dragon Clan, not knowing the snake clan, nor realizing anything before. Now seems undoubtedly Dragon Clan.
Hearing this, Lin Fei clutched a stone, contemplating whether to summon Master. If delayed, then perhaps...
