Chapter 259 The Cursed Sledgehammer

Li You had known before that the strong men in this world had blood-like power in their bodies, and both Xiao De and Xiao Pa could use this power.

However, when the Golden Kingdom general in front of him wielded the golden lion-head hammer, what rose up from his body was not bright red blood energy, but wisps of black energy, which looked very ominous.

"That's the power of the underworld and the curse!" Xiaopa answered Li You's doubts, "It seems that the general was either corroded by the aura of the kingdom of the dead, or he was burdened with a troublesome curse."

"A curse..." Li You thought thoughtfully.

Outside the stronghold, the general roared and dragged his sledgehammer directly towards Medusa in front of the queue.

Medusa bent her bow and arrows repeatedly, raining sharp arrows on the general, but the general just swung the sledgehammer, and the hammer head set off a black whirlwind, blowing away all the rain of arrows.

None of the human soldiers under Medusa moved, but the skeleton soldiers didn't care and surrounded the general at that time.

Looking at the large number of skeleton soldiers, the general remained unmoved. He just picked up the sledgehammer and rushed into the encirclement!

"Doesn't he want to live?" Xiaode asked in surprise, but Xiaopa then pointed and asked him to look again.

Only then did Xiao De realize that the skeleton soldiers, who were originally extremely vital and could not die without breaking their heads, were all shattered by the sledgehammer in the hands of the general and could not get up at all.

The large number of skeleton soldiers were quickly swept away, and the next ones who immediately surrounded them were the human soldiers.

The general was still unafraid, carrying a sledgehammer and fighting with these former subordinates.

Xiaode looked at the general, his eyes shining: "That hammer is so handsome!"

Li You on the side suddenly felt a warning sign in his heart.

He coughed and was already thinking about whether to take action in advance and grab the sledgehammer.

But at this time, the situation on the battlefield changed again.

Seeing the general swinging his sledgehammer and knocking down the soldiers one by one, Medusa was obviously furious.

She paused in drawing the bow, then suddenly raised her head of snake hair, and let out a piercing scream!

"ah----!!!"

The general was shocked, turned his head subconsciously, and then secretly said something bad.

Unfortunately, it was too late. At that moment, he had already met Medusa's true face!

The general's movements suddenly stopped and his steps stopped. He looked down and saw that his feet were slowly turning into stone!

Not only him, Medusa's petrified eyes made no distinction between friend and foe. All the soldiers who looked at her just now were also struck by the attack, and turned into stone sculptures at an extremely fast speed.

But on the general's side, on the golden lion-head sledgehammer he was holding, the lion's eyes also dimly lit up, and wisps of black air crawled from the handle to the general's hand, then went all the way down, and finally started at the ankle. After getting entangled with Medusa's petrification power, the general also temporarily stopped petrification.

But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he looked up and saw Medusa already in front of him!

Medusa's powerful tail whipped hard, sending the general flying away until he hit the outer wall of the stronghold behind him.

Blood spilled from the corners of the general's lips, and he supported himself with a sledgehammer before he managed to get up.

He looked at Medusa gradually crawling towards him and the few soldiers who were not affected, and he already understood that he was no longer lucky.

But he refused to give up. He looked behind him at the quiet stronghold without a single living person, then rubbed the sledgehammer in his hand, and seemed to have made a decision.

The general stood against the wall, exhaled loudly, raised the golden lion's head hammer high with both hands, and poured all the weird blood and energy in his body into it!

When Medusa saw this scene, she was also a little stunned. She didn't understand what the general was doing, so she decided to play it safe.

But several soldiers in the rear suddenly changed their expressions and screamed: "Don't let him swing the hammer!!"

Medusa was startled and immediately wanted to bend her bow and arrow, but she was still a step too late. The general had already knocked down the sledgehammer heavily!

"Boom——!!!"

The golden lion-headed sledgehammer hit the ground with a dull roar. Then only a moment later, with a "click, click, click" sound, skeleton soldiers filed out of the stronghold behind the general!

The skeleton soldiers were still wearing loose armor and holding various weapons in their hands. They opened their mouths, roared silently, and rushed towards Medusa.

"He... turned his subordinates into skeleton soldiers!" Even Xiaopa's expression changed this time, "This kind of thing..."

"Look! Those skeleton soldiers seem to be indifferent between us and the enemy." Li You pointed out the problem.

Everyone looked carefully and found that the skeleton soldiers rushing out of the stronghold also regarded the general as an attack target. At this moment, the battlefield was in chaos.

"Perish together..." Aggie's face turned very ugly. She had always been disgusted with this kind of behavior of flipping the table if she couldn't beat him.

Xiao Pa calmly analyzed: "It seems that the sledgehammer should be the source of the curse. It seems to be able to both awaken the dead and restrain them. I have never heard of this kind of weapon."

Li You said: "We'll talk about this later. Skeleton soldiers are coming!"

A large number of skeleton soldiers rushed out from the Golden Kingdom's stronghold, easily overwhelming both the general and Medusa. Not to mention a small number of those who ran far away sensed the aura of Li You and others and rushed towards them.

"Do it!"

The demolition team took up the sledgehammer, but Li You said: "Be careful, the skeleton soldiers are just a small trouble, don't be targeted by Medusa's petrified eyes."

Everyone was stunned and heightened their vigilance.

At this moment, there was another scream from the battlefield not far away, and Medusa's petrified eyes enveloped a large number of skeleton soldiers.

Even the skeleton soldiers who were already dead, after being watched by Medusa, their bones turned into stone bit by bit, and they could no longer move.

Medusa whipped her tail hard again, and all the petrified skeleton soldiers were shattered into powder.

The general had been overwhelmed by the skeleton soldiers, and Medusa's eyes crossed the battlefield and fell on Li You and his party.

After locking everyone in, Medusa's eyes suddenly lit up with a dangerous light.

But the next second, she saw fire erupting from the head of the strange rod in Li You's hand!

"—!!"

Medusa reacted very quickly and instantly realized that it was Li You's attack, and she was surprisingly fast. She did not try to dodge in vain, but immediately widened her eyes and used the Eye of Stone again!

The Petrifying Eye is instinctive to Medusa, and if it is only partially powerful, it can be activated almost instantly. The bullets fired by Li You were shrouded in her sight and began to turn into stone.

But even so, the bullet that had already flown out of the muzzle still followed the original thrust and hit Medusa hard on the face, causing blood to splash immediately.

Medusa let out a roar of pain, covered her face with her hands, her snake hair danced wildly, and her tail swung angrily, swatting away the skeleton soldiers behind her.

However, in the gap that was not covered by her hand, Medusa saw another spear flying towards her!

She didn't want to block anymore this time, so she dodged sideways, then raised her bow and wanted to pounce on the group of people who suddenly appeared on the edge of the battlefield.

Her eyes were healing quickly, and although the injury was painful to her, it was not serious. After a few more breaths, her eyes would return to their original state.

Medusa's snake body crawls in a winding way, but at a very fast speed. She had already made a plan in her mind to turn those guys into stone statues to relieve her hatred. Especially the guy who hurt her eye just now will be tortured even more severely.

But her still blurry vision prevented her from realizing that the guy who hit her with a gun had disappeared from in front of her.

Medusa was still sprinting while recovering from the injuries to her eyes, but she suddenly felt a chill on her back!

She lowered her head without hesitation and dodged a horizontal cut from behind, but the vertical cut that followed landed firmly on her back!

Medusa screamed and jumped forward, and at the same time swept her tail hard behind her, but missed.

She turned around and looked at the man who had somehow appeared behind her, her bloodshot eyes still full of hatred.

It's almost healed, it's almost healed, just a little bit close!

The injuries to both eyes will recover immediately. As for the small injury to the back, it won’t be...

Medusa was suddenly startled!

She could feel that for some reason, the wound on her back showed no signs of healing at all and was still bleeding!

Medusa subconsciously looked at the man in front of her, but the man had no intention of wasting time. He stepped forward and raised and slashed the weird long knife in his hand!

Medusa could feel that the man's attack was aimed at her eyes, just like he wanted to cut off her head when he attacked from behind.

She suddenly let out a scream, flicked her tail fiercely, and hit Li You. The thick tail collided with the door in Li You's hand, making a crisp sound like gold and iron clashing.

"clang--!!"

Li You even took a few steps back before releasing his strength. Medusa's tail flick was very powerful, and it was no worse than Yuzu's punch, so he certainly wouldn't resist.

But Medusa didn't fare well either. Her tail collided with the door wrapped with energy, and her scales and flesh were cut open, leaving an exaggerated wound. And because of the characteristics of the Immortal Slash, her wound healing speed is extremely slow.

"ah--!!"

Medusa was extremely angry and screamed again, but Li You had already raised the hand cannon X in advance and shot her head three times in a row!

“Bang bang bang——!!!”

Medusa had to focus her petrification power on the flying bullets again, and raised her hands to block the bullets, but the flesh and blood of her hands were also torn to pieces.

The next moment, an icy wave of air swept over her, and her body was instantly covered with a layer of ice.

Li You stepped forward. Among all the frozen props in his hand, the glacier mushroom was the most effective. However, facing a unique life like Medusa, it might only be able to sustain it for a short moment.

Fortunately, it was enough for him now.

Li You tightened his grip on Hei Immortal and slashed open the door, pouring divine power and vigor into it at the same time. Black miasma rose up from the blade, and with his movements, a huge cross was drawn in mid-air!

Jumonji Immortal Slash!

The blade wrapped in miasma sliced ​​through Medusa's body, and the ice on her body immediately shattered, followed by blood spurting out.

However, instead of falling, Medusa became even more violent!

But then, a cold light flashed before her eyes again, and a series of sword lights immediately enveloped her body.

Medusa tried to resist, but those sword lights were incredibly fast. She could barely deflect two or three of them, and all the others fell on her body, and her whole body became dripping with blood.

That was the secret Yi Xin that Li You performed with Immortal Slash.

Finally, Li You made a final slash, slashing diagonally from Medusa's upper body!

Li You slowly sheathed the knife, and Medusa fell to the ground with a "thud", her body twitching unconsciously, and she no longer had the strength to get up.

However, even if she was unprepared and received an Immortal Slash from the front, and then received a set of Secret Isshin, Medusa was still alive, and this was not even a fatal injury to her. If she was left like this and the effect of the Immortal Slash on suppressing regeneration wore off, she might be able to recover again.

But Li You has no intention of giving it a try, and he has no interest in becoming a reckless hero. He doesn't have the nickname You Li.

He held the Immortal Sword and put the blade on Medusa's neck. Medusa tried her best to look up at him, her eyes no longer filled with anger and hatred, and of course she did not activate the Petrified Eyes.

That look made Li You hesitate for a moment, but then he swung the knife down.

"laugh--"

Blood spurted out from the broken neck of Medusa, but no Pegasus or giant jumped out.

Li You took out a breath and closed the door.

The next moment, he felt a flash of purple light in front of his eyes, and Ye Ge flew over and stabbed into Medusa's chest.

It was still treating Li You relentlessly: "You didn't call me again. What did you promise me last time?"

Li You was slightly startled: "Ye Ge? When did you wake up? Forget it, I thought you were still sleeping."

Ye Ge blinked and said arrogantly: "It's just a little lizard man's blood, how could it make me sleep for so long? It's better to say that I was just sleepy."

"Yes, yes, yes." Li You said perfunctorily, turning his head to look towards the stronghold.

The demolition trio plus Aiji had cleared out the skeleton soldiers and controlled the general, and were now waiting for Li You to pass.

Ye Ge also quickly drank enough of Medusa's blood and floated in the air again. Li You looked at it and found that the purple on it seemed to be more intense, and the topaz as the eyes became deeper.

As for Medusa's body, Li You took a look and found that her head had no petrification power left, so Li You lit a fire and burned her body.

After bringing Ye Ge to the stronghold, the general was stared at by Xiao De and Xiao Pa at the same time and tied up. The golden lion head hammer was lying on the ground far away.

Li You looked at the general. After being separated from Lion Head Hammer, he seemed to have aged twenty years instantly. His face was now full of wrinkles, and his eyes were dull and lifeless.

Patting his shoulder, Li You squatted down and asked, "Do you want to tell me what happened here?"

The general raised his head weakly, glanced at Li You, then hummed, and told the story in a trembling voice.

He spoke slowly, but the content was very simple. As a general, he was originally responsible for guarding this land full of magical beasts, but one day, his men discovered an ancient tomb in the wilderness.

He took people in to look at it, and based on various records in the tomb, he confirmed that it was the tomb of Cecrops, the first king of Athens.

They wanted to quit, but when he saw the dark golden sledgehammer enshrined on the king's altar, he felt as if he had lost his mind. He could no longer think of anything else and pulled out the sledgehammer without hesitation. .

What happened next was witnessed by Li You and others. This land turned into a dead place, undead souls walked on the earth, and even more terrifying monsters were attracted and became the masters of this country.

And many of his men, in order to survive here, finally chose to betray and join Behemoth's side.

It's just that they don't know that this is an even worse choice.

"Wait a minute." Li You suddenly interrupted, "You mean, Behemoth came here after the sudden change in this land?"

The general nodded laboriously.

Li You and Xiaopa both looked thoughtful.

After a while, Li You looked at the general again: "Can you give this hammer back?"

The general said no: "The tomb of Cecrops has completely collapsed and fell into the underworld. I have also looked for it, but it no longer exists. It is just like..."

"...It's like it's never happened before."

"That's it." Li You rubbed his chin.

Since this sledgehammer can't be returned, then...can't you blame him?

He came to the golden lion-head sledgehammer lying flat on the side, squatted down and observed it carefully, and then showed a strange look on his face.

Then, with Xiao De and Xiao Pa looking surprised and the general looking horrified, he grabbed the handle of the sledgehammer and raised it high!

Li You looked at the lion's head hammer, and then laughed.

"Haha, hahahaha!"

Xiao De and Xiao Pa secretly increased their vigilance, because they already knew that this sledgehammer contained a curse. If Li You is also affected by the curse, then...

But at this time, Ai Ji walked up to Li You and slapped him on the back, causing his laughter to stop abruptly.

"How many times have I told you, don't always sound like the villain's plan has succeeded!"

Li You bared his teeth, touched his back and said, "Of course I remember, you should be gentler!"

Aggie just snorted and changed the subject: "So, what's so special about this hammer?"

A smile reappeared on Li You's face and he called everyone over: "Listen to me..."

Just now, when Li You got close to the sledgehammer, he saw the system's authentication information.

[The cursed sledgehammer (real name being sealed)]

[Item introduction: A dark golden sledgehammer shaped like a lion's head, with an extremely powerful curse attached to it, was enshrined in the tomb of the King of Athens. 】

[Item characteristics: Curse of the Dead. Swing this hammer with all your strength and hit the ground will wake up the dead underground. At the same time, this hammer can also send the dead back to the underworld. Those who hold this hammer will be eroded by the curse at all times. If they cannot resist, they will gradually transform into unconscious undead. This process is irreversible.

[It cannot be damaged. This hammer is extremely strong and will repair itself even if it is damaged before the curse is lifted.

[Divine power seal, the ability of this hammer is sealed, and it will be unsealed after enough divine power is injected into it. 】

Li You translated the information he saw and told everyone. Of course, he didn't make it that specific, only explaining its abilities and negative effects.

Xiaode and Xiaopa were surprised at first, and then said that it seemed that this hammer was born for Li You. After all, among the people present, he was the only one with divine power.

Aggie complained: "This hammer is not that strong. Why are you so happy?"

Li You shook his head: "You won't understand."

"cut."

Li You raised the sledgehammer again and looked at it carefully. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

This sledgehammer is full of elements from the inside out!

A little girl like Aggie wouldn't understand this feeling. On the contrary, if you look at the shining eyes of brothers Xiao De and Xiao Pa, you will know that they are the same as yourself. Li You sighed in his heart.

However, the next moment, purple light flashed in front of Li You's eyes again, and Ye Ge swept past, directly deflecting the lion's head hammer to the side.

Li You: "?"

Ye Ge then floated in front of him and said, "Don't use this hammer!"

Li You: "???"

What are you doing here?

He did know that Ye Ge was very jealous. When following the protagonist in the game, Ye Ge would kill all the other pets summoned by the protagonist (but would be killed by the cat), just like a sick girl.

But that's only for pets, and it doesn't care about weapons.

But now...?

Ye Ge refused to let go, stabbing and slashing around the golden lion head hammer. It didn't stop until Li You caught it in his hand and shocked it several times.

"what happened?"

Under Li You's interrogation, Yege finally confessed that it turned out that he felt something very close to himself from this sledgehammer - after all, they were cursed weapons, and according to Yege, this sledgehammer There seems to be a sleeping consciousness inside.

Li You was really surprised this time: "Are you sure?"

Yege trembled, as if nodding: "I'm sure."

With Ye Ge's confirmation and looking at the sledgehammer again, Li You frowned slightly. There is actually a consciousness inside this hammer, which is not mentioned in the game.

He thought for a while and said, "Don't worry. I took this hammer mainly because it is very special in this world. I have no other plans. You don't have to worry."

With that said, Li You took the sledgehammer and put it into the system backpack.

After suppressing Ye Ge, Li You came to the others again.

"Okay, we have solved the problem here, and we also accidentally killed Behemoth's men." He looked at everyone, "Now, the only obstacle to us rescuing the princess is the owner of this land—— Behemoth."

"Xiao De, Xiao Pa, are you ready?"

The two brothers looked at each other, then nodded in unison: "Let's go!"

"Very good, but don't rush on your way. Let's take a rest today."

The group of people got ready to go. After sorting out their equipment, they found a relatively pleasant place to camp and rest.

There was no prey that could be caught in this dead land. Fortunately, Li You had prepared some dry food and the group had food to eat.

At night, they still took turns to keep vigil, with Li You taking second place.

There was no movement from the enemy, but when he was halfway through his vigil, Xiaopa, who was scheduled to be on the next shift, came out.

"Li You." He looked solemn, "Can we talk?"
