Chapter 13 - NUCT: Chapter 13

Shinji followed the treasure map's guidance and quickly arrived at a dry well in the village.

Because it suddenly couldn't produce water one year, it had long been abandoned, and even the wellhead was blocked with large stones, probably to prevent someone from accidentally falling down.

And according to the treasure map's guidance, Shinji knew that what he was looking for was below.

So he unhesitatingly moved the large stone blocking it to the side, then lit a torch, and jumped straight in.

During the descent, Shinji flipped his hand and had a sharp kunai in his hand, then separated his feet and supported them on the walls on both sides to increase friction and reduce the speed of descent, while also stabbing the kunai into the stone crevices of the well.

In almost the blink of an eye, he arrived at the bottom of the well and successfully hovered above the mud.

"According to the feeling, it should be here..."

Shinji first carefully searched around, and after finding nothing, he began to dig down with the kunai.

But strangely, he dug down several meters and still found nothing.

"Hmm? That's strange."

Shinji stopped his movements and then took out the [Cursed Treasure Map] with some doubt, wanting to see if there was any information missing.

But just as he took out this thing, something changed!

The originally black scroll suddenly turned into ashes and quickly merged into the mud under Shinji's feet.

Then, these muds seemed to have life, and at an extremely fast speed, they fused and formed a black, simple treasure chest.

"So that's how it is."

After seeing this amazing scene, Shinji was thoughtful.

He had originally guessed, what could be dug out from the treasure map obtained from the system?

Was the so-called 'treasure' always at that coordinate? What if someone else happened to find it?

And if it was just some mundane things in this world, such as gold and silver jewelry, then it would be a bit too useless.

But now, after seeing this scene, his interest was rekindled!

Although he didn't know what was in the treasure chest, at least he could look forward to it.

The so-called 'treasure' wasn't really something hidden here, but only when he came to this coordinate could he activate the treasure map in his hand.

In other words, the treasure map in his hand was actually the real treasure, it just needed to be 'unlocked'.

Even if other people stood in the same position as him, they still wouldn't be able to find anything.

And judging from the scene just now, Shinji was more willing to believe that the things inside were definitely not mundane, otherwise it would be a disservice to the special effects just now.

While thinking about these things in his head, his movements were not slow, and he directly and decisively opened it.

But he had always ignored, no, it should be said that he had instinctively deliberately ignored one thing.

That was that the prefix name of this treasure map was [Cursed]!

...

Boom!!!

Hidan, who was searching near the abandoned water well, was suddenly startled!

Then he saw a slightly embarrassed figure scurry out of the dry well, followed by a large black thing chasing after him with its teeth and claws.

"What the hell is that thing?!"

"You ask me, who am I going to ask? Why don't you come over and help!"

Shinji dodged while leading it towards Hidan.

Now Hidan finally saw clearly what the black, dense thing was... It turned out to be hair?!

Hidan wanted to shout: "Don't come over!"

But based on his understanding of that bastard Shinji, that guy would definitely drag him down with him.

And what was even more worrying was that... He couldn't outrun that bastard!

There was no way, helplessly, Hidan could only bite the bullet and go up.

He first took out his black spear, and then depressedly put it back, and also took out a kunai instead.

A spear was naturally very useful for killing people, stabbing a hole with one thrust.

But could you use it to cut hair?

While painstakingly cutting off all the black hair around him, Hidan thought with gritted teeth: "After I go back, I must get a more powerful weapon."

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The kunai in Shinji's hand quickly waved, defending against the attacks of these hairs without any leaks.

And all the cut hairs would immediately lose their vitality, fall to the ground, and disappear, which was very strange.

The two retreated while fighting. Although these hairs seemed to be endless, their strength was limited, their attack pattern was simple, and no other attack methods had been found for the time being.

So for now, they were still able to hold on.

After retreating about fifty meters, the chaotic black hairs suddenly straightened, and they actually stopped chasing the two and began to slowly retract, and soon they all shrank back into the well.

"It seems that the attack range of this ghost thing is also limited. Fifty meters plus the well depth... then about ninety to one hundred meters is its maximum attack distance?"

Shinji was analyzing and thinking about countermeasures, and then he heard Hidan ask loudly: "What the hell was that thing just now?"

"I don't know either." Shinji shook his head, telling the truth.

Hidan didn't believe it, "Don't tell me you ran out secretly in the middle of the night to admire the moon. And I saw it just now, that ghost thing came out of the well chasing you! Do you think I'm stupid!"

After hearing this, Shinji looked surprised, "Wow, you've actually become smarter, has the water in your head finally been drained?"

"Bastard! I'm going to fight you!"

Hidan rolled up his sleeves and wanted to fight Shinji, but at this moment, Shinji still had serious business to do, so he changed the subject and said:

I really don't know what that ghost thing is. I came here specifically just to get back something I used to hide in that well.

Who would have thought that I wouldn't find what I was looking for, but instead dug up such a ghost thing.

"What did you hide in the well?" Hidan asked him suspiciously.

"Some savings from before. That was before I joined the Jashin Sect."

Seeing that Shinji didn't mean to go into details, Hidan was too lazy to ask more.

But soon Hidan sniffed his nose and showed a strange expression, "Did you smell something? It's so fragrant!"

"Something's wrong."

Shinji's nose was fine, so he naturally smelled this fragrance too.

And even before he came to this world, he had never smelled such a fragrant smell.

That kind of fragrance couldn't be described in words, as if all the beauty you could imagine was contained in it, attracting you to keep getting closer, and closer...

Gradually, a trace of intoxication appeared on Shinji's face.

But then, he realized an extremely strong danger, and with his last bit of consciousness, he stabbed the kunai in his hand into his thigh!

Puff!

Blood flowed out along the wound, and Shinji successfully used double the pain to break free from that strange state.

Looking again, the scene in front of him immediately made him feel a little chilly!
