Versatile Mage: I Awakened Nine Stars

Chapter 293: Burning Evil Eye
Because of the inexplicable curse, the hunters hesitated and lingered near the temple, cautiously testing the safety boundaries.

However, the temptation of the treasure of Queen Mother Medusa made everyone reluctant to leave for a long time.

It is true that people die for money and birds die for food.

Xu Shen and Asharuya hid in it and watched coldly.

The two of them have basically understood Egypt's considerations.

Relying on the fictitious treasure of Queen Mother Medusa, he attracts outstanding hunters from all over the world to break this mysterious curse.

In order to prevent everyone from not coming to participate in the Hunter Competition, the competition rules were specially modified, which is very considerate.

As long as the curse is broken, they can enter the Temple of Sunset and subdue Medusa while she is weak and shedding her skin.

Then, he would help her deal with her two sisters and support her to become the new emperor of the Serpent Empire.

In this way, the problem of snakes and scorpions in the whole of North Africa might be eradicated.

It has to be said that Egypt’s layout is huge.

If we can really achieve the envisioned goal, it will be worth it even if it offends various countries.

"Hey, it seems someone has found the key to breaking the curse."

Xu Shen pointed from a distance.

Not far from the temple there is an inconspicuous mud tower.

The tower is about 40 meters high. As the sun sets, the faint light on the top of the tower is gradually discovered by people.

Everyone speculated that this inexplicable curse was related to the light at the top of the mud tower.

The silver snake guards and night blood bats guarding the tower have been killed by the group of hunters.

However, the closer one gets to the mud tower, the stronger the inexplicable corrosive curse becomes, and so far no one has been able to reach the mud tower alive.

However, this is not a problem at all for the powerful wizards.

A space wizard used telekinesis to take down the glowing object on the top of the tower.

But before he could see clearly what that thing was, it was melted into blood by the strong corrosive force.

Even the scream stopped halfway, which shows how terrifying it was.

The people surrounding the space mage also suffered.

No one could escape the corrosion, and more than a dozen people turned into blood and died.

This scene made everyone shudder.

After a while, the thing emitting faint light floated back to the tower lamp.

Xu Shen put away the telescope and said, "That thing looks like an eye."

"It's the Burning Evil Eye," Asharuya said nonchalantly.

"you know?!"

"It is recorded in the books of the Parthenon."

"Is there a way to break it?"

"Yes," Asharuya nodded and said, "But I don't want to tell you."

Xu Shen's face froze: "Why?"

"I was tricked. This was a trap."

Xu Shen was stunned: "Do you think the Egyptian military let you know that little Medusa was going to shed her skin because they were plotting against you?"

Asharuya nodded and said, "Only the Parthenon knows how to crack the Burning Evil Eye. What's more, it's no secret that I have a summoning system, but my contracted beast has never been exposed to the public.

The daughter of Medusa, who has the royal bloodline, is definitely the best choice for the contracted beast. These people really went to great lengths, fearing that I would not come, and even revealed to me the top-secret news that little Medusa was about to shed her skin. They certainly could not have imagined that I already had a contracted beast. "

"I'm leaving," Asharuya said, "If they ask sincerely, the Parthenon may tell them the solution to the Burning Evil Eye, but using such a despicable method, humph, do you really think I have no temper?"

"Don't be impulsive." Xu Shen pressed her shoulder and said, "I don't think they are targeting you. Otherwise, there is no point in calling so many hunters. Moreover, if they are really targeting you and have carefully designed a trap for you, they will definitely not let you leave so easily. I guess there are already many military mages lying in ambush nearby." "I want to leave, and they dare to stop me?" Asharuya's face was full of confidence: "There are not many countries in the world that dare to offend the Parthenon."

Xu Shen shook his head and said, "You are wrong. I must warn you that there are many ways to control a person, and it is not necessary to threaten them with death."

Asharuya nodded in agreement.

She has been walking between the black and white worlds and has never gotten involved in any crime. She is not a naive person and has seen all kinds of hunting situations. Naturally, she understands that what Xu Shen said is true.

"Now what?"

Xu Shen thought for a moment and said, "Either you pretend that you didn't notice their plan, solve the Burning Evil Eye, let the Egyptian military wizard enter the temple, and then leave. Once they have achieved their goal, they will surely not risk offending the Parthenon and target you again. Otherwise, you tell me how to solve the Burning Evil Eye."

"what are you up to?"

Xu Shen said: "I will not hide it from you. If the Egyptian military can really subdue Medusa's third daughter, I will trade with them the method to solve the Burning Evil Eye and ask them to help me find Euryale."

"It sounds very reliable." Asharuya's eyes moved slightly: "What about the reward? I am losing a lot in this deal."

Xu Shen gritted his teeth and said, "You say."

"Promise me three more conditions."

Xu Shen looked at the pretty face hidden in the black robe and couldn't help but feel a little suspicious: "Have you been planning to deal with the Burning Evil Eye for a long time? Are you deliberately saying you want to leave just to negotiate with me?"

Asharuya smiled slyly: "Guess?"

Xu Shen beat his chest and stamped his feet.

Playing hard to get, retreating to advance, taking advantage of the situation, wow, this foreign girl, instead of watching magic, is watching the art of war!

The situation was stronger than the person, and Xu Shen was forced to accept Asharuya's unequal treaty.

After that, the two discussed for a long time.

It is always unreliable to place your hopes of saving people on outsiders.

Moreover, there was no guarantee that the Egyptians would not guess his intentions and go back on their word and sell him to the holy city.

So they finally chose to pretend that they were unaware of the Egyptian military's plan and took advantage of the situation to solve the problem of the Burning Evil Eye.

Perhaps, there is still a chance to fish in troubled waters after entering the temple.

After all, she is the third daughter of Queen Medusa, and she has royal bloodline, so she will definitely become the supreme monarch in the future.

The Egyptians want this kind of contracted beast, but Xu Shen can’t?
After taking a look at the empty third contract space, Xu Shen approached the mud tower.

According to Asharuya, to deal with this Burning Evil Eye requires an extremely strong physique. Among all the people present, only he barely meets the requirements.

Seeing that there was still someone stubborn, all the hunters looked at Xu Shen with interest.

A long green vine shot straight up into the sky, dragging the Burning Evil Eye into Xu Shen's hands.

The burning evil eye is about the size of a washbasin.

His hands were visibly corroded, and in the blink of an eye, the white bones were exposed.

Not only his hands, but also his originally handsome face was half disfigured by the evil eye.

But it is still much better than the unlucky space mage before.

Following the method taught by Asharuya, Xu Shen successfully sealed the Burning Evil Eye.

Several hunters immediately rushed to the temple, fearing that if they arrived too late, the treasure would be stolen by others.

Xu Shen put away his evil eyes and shook his head silently.

I don't understand how such an idiot can survive so long.

Do you really think that if you solve the evil eye, there will be no danger?
"Boy, hand over your stuff!"

Xu Shen raised his eyelids, and five even dumber ones surrounded him, staring greedily at the evil eye in his hand.
