Versatile Mage: Shadow of Dimension

Chapter 173 Poor Zhao Manyan breaks the snake man’s curse! (4k)

"King, his mental state is a bit chaotic, he must be affected by the curse." The voice of the Nine Nether Queen sounded.

"Curse? Is it serious? How to remove it?" Zhang Chenran asked.

"The influence of the curse will make him feel inexplicable fear and fear of the snake people. The soul will gradually weaken, and the senses and even spiritual perception will be confused to a certain extent. There are two ways to remove it, either let the snake people remove it personally, or Kill the snake man who set the soul curse."

"Can the caster make him hallucinate through curses, or insert something into his memory?"

"Can."

Hearing this, Zhang Chenran looked at Zhao Manyan who was standing aside.

The latter was unhappy and said he wanted nothing to do with him.

"Old Zhao, when you and the proprietress entered the store, how did the clerks react?" Zhang Chenran asked without paying attention to his cold face.

Zhao Manyan thought for a while:

"Reaction? Just do whatever you want. They seem to recognize me as a customer and don't pay much attention to me."

"Compared to now?"

Zhang Chenran pointed at the shop assistants who were working without hesitation.

He didn't care if they could see his rude behavior.

Zhao Manyan was stunned. The clerks seemed to not care about him now.

It's not that she doesn't care about him, it's more like she ignores him, like a string puppet being lifted by someone, her movements are stiff and inconsistent.

The most frightening thing was that under his gaze, those shop assistants gradually showed strange features.

The snake's tongue, those eyes are no different from those of a snake demon, and its body is covered with snake demon scales!

"Dust! They."

Zhao Manyan’s hair stood on end!
He turned his head sharply to look at Zhang Chenran who was standing next to him, but there was no sign of anyone near him.

"Old Zhao! We are here!" Zhang Chenran's voice came from behind.

Zhao Manyan turned around and saw that he and Jiang Yinyun had retreated to a position ten meters away.

"No, you, me"

Zhao Manyan stammered and pointed at the clerk in the store to explain.

However, looking at the figures of the two people, they felt very far away, as if they were out of reach.
"What's wrong with him?" Jiang Yinyun frowned slightly.

Zhao Manyan, who was looking panicked and at a loss ten meters away, seemed to want to say something, but didn't know how to speak to them.

"Forget it if you can't sense the breath, you can't even sense the obvious spatial fluctuations of instantaneous movement?"

Zhang Chenran couldn't help but frown. This snake man's curse was more difficult than he thought.

He asked Jiang Yinyun to stay where he was and walked slowly to Zhao Manyan.

"Old Zhao!"

As soon as he spoke, Zhao Manyan was suddenly frightened and took a step back.

How could Zhang Chenran, who was clearly ten meters away, suddenly appear in front of him?
Zhao Manyan was breathing heavily, as if he was frightened.

He raised his hand to pat Zhang Chenran's shoulder, but Zhang Chenran's figure in his sight seemed like a blur, as if he didn't exist.

His hand stayed in the air, and he put it down only after sensing Zhang Chenran's presence ten centimeters away.

"Chen, I feel like something is wrong with me."

It's not just the uneasiness caused by fear, but also the confusion of his own perception that makes him unable to distinguish reality from fiction.

Zhao Manyan is like a person suffering from a serious illness. Even if Zhang Chenran is close at hand, he needs to repeatedly confirm whether it really exists.

There is the breath left by the snake man here, and the influence on him will become more and more serious. Zhang Chenran raised his hand and slapped him several meters away.

The real pain allowed Zhao Manyan to briefly regain his confused facial features and perceptions.

"Why did you hit me?" Zhao Manyan stood up from the ground and said angrily.

I was troubled by a serious illness, and I got slapped inexplicably.

"Do you feel better now?" Zhang Chenran asked him.

Zhao Manyan was stunned.

The 'blur' of vision and perception disappears, replaced by clear reality.

Then, the feeling of powerlessness spread throughout the body again, and the senses began to gradually let themselves fall into that 'blur'.

Seeing this, Zhang Chenran raised his hand almost subconsciously.

"Wait a minute, I have an idea!"

Zhao Manyan shouted, and then hurriedly took out the wooden fish vessel.

He knocked on the wooden fish, and the wooden fish seemed to respond to him with a force that could nourish his soul.

Under the nourishment of that power, he found his 'self' in front of him.

"Chen, do you know something?" Zhao Manyan asked while knocking on the wooden fish.

Zhang Chenran thought for a while:

"I don't know very well, but I accidentally learned that the snake people have a natural curse, and the curse of each snake people has different effects.

Judging from your performance, the curse of the Australian snake people should be able to cause hallucinations in mages and confuse perception and spirit.

There was a snake-man aura here before, and the influence on you here will become more and more profound. If I guessed correctly, you should have seen some traces of the snake-monster just now, right? "

Zhao Manyan nodded repeatedly, and then looked at "Master Ling's Youth Lifestyle Center". He was relieved when he saw that the shop assistants inside were all normal.

"It's so scary. If I enter that state, I feel like I can't tell what is true and what is false."

Zhao Manyan swallowed with fear, and the movement of knocking the wooden fish in his hand accelerated a bit.

He didn't even know when he was cursed by the snake man.

The terrible curse made him almost lose his senses and mental perception.

In fact, even the scenes seen in the "Master Ling Qingqu Life Museum" are illusions.

But he can be sure that the boss lady must exist.
"So the boss lady you talk about exists, and it was also the curse she gave you. It should be a pure-blooded snake-man."

Zhang Chenran paused and continued: "You enter the state of meditation."

"Huh? Oh"

Without thinking too much, Zhao Manyan followed suit, found a place to sit down at random, and entered the state of meditation.

After half a minute.

Zhao Manyan exited the meditative state and frowned:

"No, not to mention practicing in this state, even entering the meditative state will take a lot of effort."

As he spoke, he knocked on the wooden fish again.

"How does it feel when you enter the meditative state? Or is there something wrong?" Zhang Chenran asked.

Zhao Manyan thought for a while:

"Something is wrong. I always feel like there is something staring at me in my spiritual universe, which makes me so scared that I can't concentrate."

Hearing this, Zhang Chenran nodded slightly:

"That's right, let's enter the meditative state again."

"Are you sure you're not kidding me?" Zhao Manyan's mouth twitched slightly.

"I found a way to lift the curse for you." Zhang Chenran explained.

Zhao Manyan was dubious about how to remove the curse, but remembering the terrible impact of the curse, he had no choice but to do it.

This time, when he entered the meditative state, Zhang Chenran's eyes also flashed with dark blood.After holding on for about a minute, Zhao Manyan exited the meditative state, sweating profusely.

He quickly picked up the wooden fish and started banging it, and said exhaustedly:

"Chen, I feel like my mental energy is being drained dry!"

In the spiritual world, he can only resist the cursed gaze at the cost of consuming mental power.

"It's okay, I've found it."

Zhang Chenran chuckled, and a faint darkness emerged from the shadow behind him, and he shuttled towards a certain direction of the city.

"Your curse will be lifted soon."

"Really?"

Zhao Manyan was stunned. Can that terrible curse be lifted so easily?

Just as he was about to take back the wooden fish, Zhang Chenran stopped him: "I said I would wait, why are you taking it back so quickly?"

"."

Hearing this, Zhao Manyan continued to knock on the wooden fish.

In fact, the energy the wooden fish responded to him could nourish the soul for several hours without being too deeply affected by the curse.

At least you won't lose most of your senses and perceptions.

However, if he knocked once every few hours, Zhao Manyan would feel very insecure, so he would keep tapping.

"Where did you buy this wooden fish?" Zhang Chenran sensed the energy contained in the wooden fish and couldn't help but ask.

"It's a long story. When our national team first arrived in Japan, I was almost killed by that thief Mo Fan."

Zhao Manyan was also bored and began to tell him a long story about his experiences in the past few months to pass the time.

Nan Jue called when he was halfway through talking.

"The National Pavilion in Canberra? Zhao Manyan is in some trouble, and we can't get through it for the time being."

"."

"Then, I'll let Yinyun go. The situation here is a bit complicated for Zhao Manyan. It's more serious than the evil utensil you encountered in Japan last time."

"."

Everyone has arrived at the entrance of the Australian National Pavilion, except for three of them.

But Zhao Manyan's snake-man curse has not been lifted, and Zhang Chenran is not sure that killing the caster can completely lift the curse.

In the end, Jiang Yinyun went to challenge the Australian national team with everyone in the national team.

But Zhang Chenran and Zhao Manyan stayed outside, and must ensure that Zhao Manyan's curse was completely lifted.

With Ai Jiangtu and Jiang Yinyun in charge of the team, it will not be a problem to win the Australian National Pavilion.
.........

Waited about two hours.

The vague darkness returned to the shadow behind him.

Zhang Chenran couldn't help but ask: "Why did it take so long to solve it?"

"King, the 'position' you gave is too vague, and the aura of your subordinates in the city is easy to detect. Moreover, the snake essence is very well hidden, and it also puts some puppets from time to time to confuse the subordinates."

The shadowborn elder explained again and again, and then threw the soul into the shadow world.

This snake man is at the leadership level, although Zhang Chenran is very resistant to assimilating 'people' into shadow soldiers.

However, this kind of half-snake, half-human creature has long been out of the category of human beings, so it just has the word "human" in its name.
It didn't take long for the shadow to completely assimilate the snake man's soul and create a dark body for it.

Seeing the graceful body of the snake-woman demon in the shadow world, I couldn't help but sigh secretly.

No wonder Lao Zhao is attracted to the female snake demon.

When she was disguised as a human being, she was almost the same as a human woman, and her innate charm attracted an unknown number of people of the opposite sex.

It is no exaggeration to say that she seduced Old Zhao.

Just like the amazing feeling I felt on Manzhu Shahua for the first time, I couldn't resist it at all!

Although he was called Manzhu Shahua, it was more derived from the blood in his body.

But he had to deny that the surprise he felt when he saw Manzhu Shahua for the first time made him almost lose control.
"Old Zhao, Old Zhao, I feel like I am not qualified to criticize you." Zhang Chenran sighed.

"What?" Zhao Manyan was confused.

"Nothing, you can try entering the meditative state again and see if the snake man's curse has been eliminated?" Zhang Chenran changed the subject.

After experiencing it in the spiritual world, Zhao Manyan said excitedly:

"Broken! Broken! The snake-man curse has been broken!"

The strangeness on the body is eliminated, the senses return to normal, the mental perception returns to normal, and the soul no longer feels weak.
Now, he is full of energy and just wants to catch the snake monster that cast a spell on him, press it down hard under him and rub it!
At this time, several familiar figures came running not far away.

"It's them." Zhao Manyan looked at the people in the national team and said doubtfully:
"Aren't they challenging the Australian National Pavilion?"

"Are you all right?"

Ai Jiangtu, who was most concerned about the safety of his team members, asked quickly.

After challenging the Australian National Pavilion, everyone learned from Jiang Yinyun that Zhao Manyan was cursed by the snake man.

Although Jiang Yinyun said that Zhang Chenran had a solution, Nanjue was determined to come.

Others may not understand, but she has a general understanding of all the major curses. How could she not know what the Snake Curse is?
Although the Australian snake people are far inferior to the strongest snake people ancestors, the Medusa clan.

However, the curse of even the lowest-blooded snake people is very difficult.

Once cursed, even the immortal soul will suffer great trauma.
Before the two of them could respond, Nan Jue said:
"Let me explore your spiritual world."

Zhao Manyan didn't refuse and allowed her to explore. Anyway, his illness was cured.

After the investigation, Nan Jue looked strange.

There were indeed signs of being cursed, but the curse was automatically removed.

"How did you do it?" Nan Jue looked at Zhang Chenran and asked.

"It happens that there is a way to restrain the curse." Zhang Chenran answered vaguely.

Nan Jue looked at him deeply and stopped asking.

"Anyway, as long as everything is fine," Ai Jiangtu said.

"I already said that Chenran has a solution." Jiang Yinyun couldn't help but say.

"Speaking of which, what are you doing in a place like this?"

Jiang Shaoxu looked at "Master Ling Youth Life Museum" and showed a fox-like smile.

Everyone knows Zhao Manyan's virtues, and it is self-evident who the 'you' in Jiang Shaoxu's mouth refer to.

Being watched by everyone, Jiang Yinyun's cheeks and ears instantly became hot.

She cast a life-saving look at Zhang Chenran, who also looked embarrassed and couldn't help but blush.

It was bad enough that Zhao Manyan knew about it, but now even the whole team knows about it.
Under everyone's weird looks, Zhang Chenran bit the bullet and explained:
"Do you believe me when I say we passed by?"

"Why didn't you say you had a friend?" Jiang Shaoxu said angrily.

Isn't that the only thing?Mu Tingying looked disdainful as she had nothing to hide.

It would be great if they could stand on our side. Nanrong Ni knew the relationship between Zhang Chenran, Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan, and frowned slightly.

The other people didn't think that much, either they were envious of the two of them, or they weren't interested.

Nan Jue coughed twice:

"Everyone is tired after today's challenge to the Australian National Pavilion. Go back early to rest and prepare to complete the tasks that the instructor will soon release."
