Fantasy Simulator Chapter 346 Cursed Land

Looking at the pendant in his hand, Chen Heng thought before using greater strength.
Even though Chen Heng could easily twist steel and crush jades, he was surprised to find that the pendant was not even twisted, let alone crushed.
No matter how hard he tried, he could not destroy it.
It seemed incredibly firm.
"What kind of material is this?"
Looking at the pendant, Chen Heng felt quite dumbfounded as he thought to himself.
Honestly speaking, the toughness of this pendant was a bit ridiculous.
Even though it looked incredibly ordinary, it was actually surprisingly strong.
Then again, this made sense—for it to be a vessel of law energy, it naturally could not be anything simple.
It was good material.
Looking at the pendant, Chen Heng felt quite interested.
In his course of travelling through many worlds, one of his identities had been a grandmaster of refining.
As a grandmaster refiner, he naturally paid great attention to materials.
After all, if one wanted to make good magic items, apart from skills, one also needed good materials.
It seemed that this pendant was an extremely good material and had incredible potential.
"If it's suitable, I might be able to make an exceptional magic item," Chen Heng thought to himself.
This was a good idea.
Following this, Chen Heng began to try.
He sent his divine energy into the pendant and began to process it.
Golden divine energy flowed into the pendant, after which a strange energy appeared.
Changes began to happen on the pendant.
The pendant originally looked quite old and plain, but as the divine energy entered it, it began to go through changes.
Golden color began to appear on the black gemstone, gradually dyeing it.
In the end, the black gemstone turned from black to gold.
It seemed that the large amounts of divine energy had refined this material and enhanced it.
This was one of Chen Heng's processing methods.
Now, the pendant looked completely different. Compared to how old and plain it looked before, it now looked incredibly beautiful and pure, and it gave off a holy-looking light.
The black gemstone had also become golden-colored.
Within it, large amounts of energy rippled out, enough to make one shiver.
In actuality, after being filled with divine energy, this pendant now contained large amounts of divine energy.
If it did not explode out, it would just look pretty; once it exploded out, all of the divine energy within it would burst out with terrifying power.
From Chen Heng's estimates, it would be able to at least take down a Second Ring Sorcerer.
Moreover, because it had been filled with divine energy, this pendant had become a holy item and had extraordinary effects.
If mortals wore it for an extended period of time, not only would it nourish their bodies, but it would get rid of any negative effects on their bodies and even enhance their life essence.
The effects were quite good.
Of course, that was just for mortals.
To Chen Heng, it did not have many uses.
After all, he already had a lot of divine energy in his body, which already made his body stronger.
"What a pity…" Chen Heng thought to himself.
Right now, to Chen Heng, this pendant was just a half-completed item.
It still needed some work to become something that he would be satisfied with.
However, right now, he did not have the ability to do so.
Under the effects of the divine energy, Chen Heng had recovered some of his strength, but it was still far from his main body's level.
Apart from divine energy, none of his other strength had recovered.
This was all he could do for now.
Following this, Chen Heng walked out.
By now, most people had left, leaving the church quite empty.
Seeing this, Chen Heng said his goodbyes to the Sister before walking out.
Elsewhere, within a dark region.
Traces of black fog filled the air and spread out.
This was a cursed region, and figures moved about in the black fog, looking quite strange and terrifying.
In the past, no living creatures had come here before; even if any had come, they would have stayed and become part of this.
However, now, the situation had changed.
A situation slowly walked closer, towards the depths.
Waves of breathing continuously sounded out, adding to the creepy atmosphere.
"Shout… shout…"
A young man wearing an army uniform was walking forwards, his body covered with wounds.
What was strange was that despite his body being so bloodied, his body did not give off a gory stench and instead smelled quite fragrant.
This was quite strange.
"The scout unit from number 2 to number 15 were all killed, leaving only me…"
Under the black fog, the young man continued onwards as he muttered, "My consciousness is hazy and the Curse Seed in my body has collapsed…"
As he spoke, light sounds came from the surroundings.
The young man hazily looked over and saw a shocking scene.
A blood-stained arm had stretched out from his stomach.
The arm was covered with black blood, and there seemed to be white bone and scales on it, as well as thin black fur.
Evidently, this was not the arm of a normal person.
This arm stretched out from the young man's stomach, looking incredibly terrifying as if there was something within the young man's stomach.
However, the young man did not seem surprised as if he was used to this.
If one looked closely, they would see changes happening on the young man's face—thin lines appeared, making him look quite savage and terrifying.
"The Curse Seed has gone out of control…"
A soft voice sounded out.
In that moment, his body powerlessly fell backwards onto the ground.
Following this, a black device fell to the ground with a crash.
Everything was over.
However, the young man's corpse was still moving.
Thin arms stretched out from his body, tearing it apart.
Following this, spider-like creatures that somewhat looked like the young man crawled out into the surrounding darkness.
Only the device still gave off noise.
"Number one has died…"
In the distance within a structure, hearing the final information from the young man, Chen Rou deeply sighed and said, "All 15 Curse Bearers have gone silent… this Cursed Land is more dangerous than we expected."
"What should we do now?" a middle-aged man stood by the side, his expression quite grim.
"No matter what, we need to find out more about this Cursed Land," Chen Rou deeply breathed in and said, "This situation has proven that even the Curse Bearers cannot survive in this Cursed Land. We'll need to send out elites…"
"You mean…" the middle-aged man hesitated as he asked, "Cursed Items?"
"That's right," Chen Rou nodded seriously, "Now, only Cursed Items can help us explore this Cursed Land.
"There is still half a month until the Alliance will arrive. During this half a month, we need to stop the development of this Cursed Land and try to explore it as much as possible.
"Otherwise, who knows how many hundreds of thousands of people will die in this half a month…" her expression was serious as she spoke.
"What do you want to do?" the middle-aged man fell silent for a moment before asking.
"Try to gather all of the Curse Bearers in all of Changyuan, and gather all Cursed Items." Chen Rou thought for a moment before saying resolutely, "Especially Yang Cheng and Liang Xiao."
Looking at the man, who looked a bit confused, Chen Rou once again spoke and explained, "They are not simple. Since three years ago, the two of them have explored many Cursed Lands and have much experience.
"Moreover, from what I heard, they are not unfamiliar with this Cursed Land. Much of the information I have is from them."
"You mean…"
Hearing Chen Rou's words, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up.
"That's right." Chen Rou nodded, "If my guess is correct, the two of them have gone in before and successfully came out. In fact, they may have obtained a Cursed Item."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man's eyes became even brighter as he thought to himself.
"The two of them will be of great help to us exploring this Cursed Land."
Chen Rou could tell what the middle-aged man was thinking and said calmly, "With their help, this operation will go much smoother."
"Are you confident?"
The middle-aged man thought for a while longer before looking at Chen Rou and asking, "I'm sure you know just how important Cursed Items are. Do you understand the consequences of losing a Cursed Item in a Cursed Land?"
"I understand," Chen Rou nodded and said, "However, this is still our best choice.
"I'm willing to personally take a team into this Cursed Land. If we fail, let me die in the line of duty."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man's expression changed.
After thinking for a moment, he nodded, "Alright. There isn't much time left."
He looked at Chen Rou as he gave a time limit, "I'll give you three days to prepare. If you have any requirements, you can let me know now."
"Very well."
Hearing this, Chen Rou let out a breath and nodded seriously.
