A trace of fear flashed in the old man's eyes, and he said in a trembling voice: "The temple is dedicated to an ancient god, who is said to be a guardian with great power. However, since the curse came, the statue in the temple has begun to emit an evil aura. We tried to pray for the protection of the god, but received no response. Instead, those who approach the temple will become crazy and even attack their own relatives."

Luo Yi was startled. She remembered the bird calls she had heard in the forest before. Could it be caused by this curse?

"Old man, please tell us the location of the temple. We need to investigate."

The old man nodded and pointed his trembling finger to the center of the village: "The temple is there, but please be careful. It is full of dangers. Even the strongest young man in our village can't resist the evil power."

The three said goodbye to the old man and set out on the road to the temple. They passed through the narrow alleys and came to the center of the village. The temple stood tall, with vines climbing up the ancient stone walls and mysterious runes gleaming in the sun.

The temple's door was tightly closed, as if warning them not to approach. The three took a deep breath and pushed the door open. A cold breath rushed in their faces, making them shiver.

They entered the temple. In the dim light, the statue stood on the altar with a hideous face. Shen Yan and Luo Yi looked at each other.

They began to carefully investigate every corner of the temple, looking for a way to lift the curse.

"Old Shen, come here." Wang Yuan shouted to Shen Yan.

Shen Yan and Luo Yi looked at each other and came behind the statue.

Wang Yuan pushed an inconspicuous stone, and there was a hidden secret room behind it.

The three nodded and walked in carefully. There was nothing else in the secret room except an ancient book.

Shen Yan checked it out, but found nothing dangerous, so he opened the book, which contained the truth about the curse and the secret of how to remove it.

There was originally a crystal on the chest of the statue, which was the center of a magic array. It not only suppressed the evil spirits in this place, but also enhanced the evil-repelling effect on the village.

It’s a pity that people are greedy and someone took a fancy to this crystal stone, so they stole it, causing this place to become what it is today.

Their mission is to find the crystal and put it back into the statue.

But no one knows where the crystal was stolen.

"You said it's such a big place, where should we look for it?" Luo Yi also frowned.

After the three of them came out of the secret room, they looked at the village with some sighs.

"Looking at the task prompt, the villagers are always greedy. We just need to ask the village chief who are missing from the village and where they went." Shen Yan thought for a moment and answered.

"Let's go now." Wang Yuan was delighted when he heard this and took people away.

"Village chief, I wonder if any villagers were missing or lost before the curse occurred?" Shen Yan and others returned to the village chief's house and asked him.

"Before the curse happened?? There was indeed a missing person. He was Wang Ergou from the end of the village. That guy often disappeared for three to five days, so we didn't take it seriously. However, it has been half a month since before the curse happened, and we haven't seen him..." As the village chief finished speaking, a light flashed in the eyes of Shen Yan, Luo Yi and Wang Yuan.

Wang Ergou, they remembered this name.

"Village chief, can you tell us where Wang Ergou was last seen and where he might be going?" Shen Yan continued to ask.

The village chief thought for a moment and pointed to a mountain outside the village: "The last time that kid appeared was on that mountain. He often went to the mountain to find some food. Sometimes he didn't come back for several days. But this time, it was really too long."

The three of them looked at each other and had already made a decision in their hearts.

"Village chief, thank you for your information. We need to go to the mountain to look for it." Shen Yan thanked the village chief gratefully.

After leaving the village chief's house, the three of them headed straight for the mountain. The mountain was densely wooded and overgrown with weeds, and was obviously a good place to hide secrets.

"Old Shen, do you think the crystal will be on the mountain?" Luo asked as they walked.

"It's very likely." Shen Yan said in a deep voice, "The theft of the statue's crystal must be related to the evil spirit here. And the last place Wang Ergou appeared was here, so the crystal was probably stolen by him and hidden in this mountain."

After hearing this, Wang Yuan and Luo Yi also nodded.

The three of them searched all the way, not missing any place where the crystal might be hidden.

Finally, in a hidden cave, they found Wang Ergou and the crystal in his hand.

At this moment, he had turned into a monster, with pus and blood flowing from his body and a weird face.

When Wang Ergou saw them, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, but then he became fierce again: "You dare to come to me? This crystal is mine, no one can take it away!"

"Wang Ergou, do you know how much disaster your actions have brought to this village? The crystal is used to suppress evil spirits. If you steal it, it will only plunge the village into a deeper curse." Shen Yan shouted in a deep voice.

When Wang Ergou heard this, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, but then he became fierce: "I don't care, this crystal is mine, no one of you can take it away!"

Seeing that Wang Ergou was still stubborn, the three stopped talking nonsense and started fighting him directly.

Now Wang Ergou has mutated and become a small boss, and the pus in his body contains toxins.

Whenever they come into contact with it, their vitality begins to gradually decline.

"Old Shen can't go on like this! Even if we are not beaten to death by him, we will be exhausted to death by him." Wang Yuan's health has dropped to half.

Shen Yan looked at Wang Ergou and felt a slight headache.

Although Wang Ergou was originally just an ordinary villager in the village, he has now been corrupted by evil forces and has become extremely powerful.

Although the three were strong, they gradually felt the pressure in the battle with Wang Ergou. Wang Ergou was not only extremely powerful, but also extremely agile, and every attack put them in danger.

"We must find a way to end this battle quickly, otherwise we will all be in danger." Shen Yan said to his teammates while dodging Wang Ergou's attack.

Wang Yuan and Luo Yi also knew that the situation was serious, so they began to look for Wang Ergou's flaws. Finally, in a fierce confrontation, they found a flaw in Wang Ergou.

"Now!" Shen Yan shouted, and the three of them attacked at the same time, forcing Wang Ergou into a desperate situation.

At the critical moment, Wang Ergou suddenly let out a scream and his body began to tremble violently. It turned out that the evil power had begun to backfire on his body. He fell to the ground in pain and could no longer fight.

The three of them took the opportunity to step forward and take the crystal back from Wang Ergou.
