Chapter 1 Ding, You Have Been Cursed

[Ding, you have been cursed.] Zhang Yuanqing heard the Spirit Realm notification in his ear.

A curse? Could it be that I accidentally drank Pan Jinlian's cat hair? he thought with bitter amusement.

He subconsciously wanted to use his skills, but found that he had lost all his abilities, as well as his connection to his inventory. After turning into a cat, all his abilities disappeared.

A curse, this should be the power of the Witchcraft Master profession. Yin-Yang Town is a team-based dungeon, so it's understandable to have elements of evil professions. But when was I cursed? I didn't feel anything at all. Was it the tea? No, the Queen and Li Chunfeng didn't drink the water.

Thinking of this, he looked at his six companions. The Huode Xingjun cat was standing on the spot with its fur on end, Chi Ou and Li Liangfeng, transformed into orange cats, looked around, screaming incessantly, seemingly still unable to escape the terror of being turned into cats. Shang Li Yuan Shang Cao, on the other hand, curiously examined his body, with a solemn expression in his eyes, but not at all averse to the cat transformation.

The Queen cat sat on the ground, surrounded by scattered clothes and shoes. She had two silver rings hanging from her pointed ears, and she kept fiddling with the rings with her paws, meowing anxiously. Her earrings are items? It seems they can't be used. So, even if I took out the items in advance, they would still be sealed. Zhang Yuanqing then looked at Guan Ya.

The Guan Ya cat was the calmest. When Wang Po shouted "Son!" at the city gate, she had already taken four steps back silently.

"Son, come out, your mother has brought you two beautiful girls. Finally, there are women to relieve your boredom. You, ah, you just can't control your lust, that's why you've fallen to this state! This girl has delicate skin and tender flesh, and she's very pretty. Son, what are you waiting for?" Wang Po's voice was old and hoarse, calling out again and again, like a soul-summoning chant.

On the other side of the courtyard, the tightly closed door opened, and everyone, no, every cat immediately craned their necks to look over.

From the opened doorway, they could see a coffin propped up on two wooden benches in the center of the room. The coffin was painted with scarlet lacquer, and red threads and a purple talisman were scattered messily on the ground. The red threads and talisman were used to bind the thing in the coffin. When she entered the room earlier, she had undone the binding. As a scout, the Guan Ya cat immediately deduced this detail. "Oh, no."

From inside the coffin came the sound of fingernails scratching wood, eerie and terrifying. Then, the coffin lid popped open, flipping over with a "bang" as it landed. A hideous male face poked out, its features more cat-like, but still unmistakably human, making it exceptionally ugly and frightening.

Even more terrifying, when he climbed out of the coffin, the cats saw clearly that this was a large cat with its skin peeled off, its blood-red flesh exposed to the air.

The large cat was about a meter long, with a blood-red tail gently swaying behind it, the tip of which was covered in bone spurs. His face was ferocious, his eyes flashing with bloodthirsty and lustful light. Zhang Yuanqing felt a chill down his spine, sensing a threat from his genes, and unconsciously arched his back, bared his teeth, and hissed.

The other companions reacted in the same way.

The large cat walked with light steps, its ferocious gaze locking onto the seven fellow cats in the hall.

Zhang Yuanqing said, "Meow meow meow (We've triggered a plot, we must kill this monster cat to leave)." The six companions looked at him blankly.

Even though they had turned into cats, they couldn't understand cat language.

Just then, Guan Ya, who had been staring at the blood-colored cat, let out a clear meow, warning, "Meow meow (Careful)!"

The next moment, the flesh and blood dripping large cat transformed into a red blur, pouncing over towards Li Chunfeng, who seemed to be the weakest. Li Chunfeng demonstrated the agility a cat should have, raising his tail and darting to the side like an arrow. But the large cat was faster than him, quickly catching up, pouncing and biting, and clamping its jaws onto Li Chunfeng's neck. It raised its head and shook hard, and Li Chunfeng let out a shrill cry.

The Huode Xingjun, transformed into a black cat, screamed loudly as it jumped up and bit at the large cat. *Pa!* The tail with its bone spurs whipped away the black cat like a whip, sending it crashing to the ground.

The strength of the two sides was too different. In front of this large cat, the cats were as weak as mice.

Seeing that Li Chunfeng was about to have his neck bitten off, Zhang Yuanqing pounced out, avoiding the attack range of the large cat's tail. He pounced onto the large cat's neck, opened his sharp teeth, and bit down on the large cat's ear. "Aaaa!" The large cat cried out in pain, its jaws loosened, and Li Chunfeng fell down. The fur on his neck was stained with blood, and he fled in terror to the side. When he reached the wall, his adrenaline faded, and he collapsed weakly to the ground, his gaze gradually fading, emitting a low moan. In just one exchange, a teammate had died.

The large cat shook its head twice, unable to shake Zhang Yuanqing off, immediately lowered its head, raised its paw pads, extended its sharp claws, and slashed down hard. Bloodstains appeared on Zhang Yuanqing's back, and bright red blood flowed out.

He had no choice but to let go, falling from the large cat's head, fleeing with his limbs flying.

Blood dripped from the large cat's ears, and it chased after Zhang Yuanqing in anger. Suddenly, its tail hurt, as Chi Ou had bitten it. The large cat turned around and bit Chi Ou's neck, but this orange cat, with its plump body, had thick skin and flesh, and its sharp teeth could barely pierce the skin. The large cat raised its head and shook its head again.

At that instant, Zhang Yuanqing came back, pouncing on the large cat's back, while the Queen cat and Guan Ya cat attacked from the left, and the Huode Xingjun and Li Li Yuan Shang Cao attacked from the right. The cats swarmed forward. They had no way out. This human-cat had almost killed Li Chunfeng in one exchange. Any retreat or hesitation at this time would lead to the team's destruction. The human-faced cat grabbed the fat orange cat, stood upright, and extended its claws, pressing down on the Queen cat and Li Li Yuan Shang Cao with its left and right paws respectively.

Then, its tail lashed out. *Pa!*

Zhang Yuanqing, who had jumped high, was like a tennis ball, slammed hard against the wall.

He collapsed to the ground, blood pouring from his mouth and nose, several holes appearing in his chest and abdomen, bubbling with blood.

Guan Ya, who had not been attacked, used her claws to scratch bloody marks on the human-faced cat. The Huode Xingjun bit down hard on the human-faced cat's abdomen, tearing off a small piece of meat.

The human-faced cat screamed miserably, rotating its body, driving its tail to whip away the black cat. Then, it leaned its head towards Guan Ya and bit. But Guan Ya skillfully retreated her tail, narrowly avoiding its sharp teeth.

The human-faced cat had no choice but to retract its head, spit out the half-dead fat orange cat, and grabbed Li Li Yuan Shang Cao, who was pinned under its right paw. With a flick of its head, a "crack" was heard, and Li Li Yuan Shang Cao's neck snapped.

This crack made all the cats' hearts tighten.

The human-faced cat casually threw Li Li Yuan Shang Cao to the side.

Li Li Yuan Shang Cao lay on the ground, his limbs twitching, his abdomen heaving violently, it looked like he didn't have much time left to live. Zhang Yuanqing,趴(pa) lying by the wall, felt his heart sink to the bottom.

Li Chunfeng was already barely breathing, Li Li Yuan Shang Cao had his neck broken, and would probably die even faster than Li Chunfeng. The Huode Xingjun was whipped twice by the bone spurs and was seriously injured and unable to fight. And his own condition was similar.

The only ones uninjured now were Guan Ya and the Queen, and the latter was pinned under the cat's paw. The only one who could fight was Guan Ya. This was a path to total annihilation.

After breaking Li Li Yuan Shang Cao's neck, the human-faced cat did not continue to attack Guan Ya, but lowered its head and kept sniffing the Queen cat, its nostrils twitching. It was going to do something. Zhang Yuanqing had a bad feeling in his heart.

The next second, his premonition came true. As the human-faced cat sniffed, a slender, dark red genital protruded from the bulging sac of its lower body, the tip covered in dense barbs. The Queen cat seemed to sense something, struggling violently and letting out a piercing scream.

The black cat Huode Xingjun struggled to stand up, but blood loss and pain made it unable to rise. It could only let out angry and helpless cries. At this time, Wang Po, who was standing in the courtyard watching, smiled:

"Girl, don't resist, my son has been in this ghostly place for many years, he's very lonely, just do him a favor and let my son have some fun. He won't kill you. These people are going to die, but you don't have to die."

The Queen screamed miserably, her eyes filled with helplessness and despair. Guan Ya arched her back, ready to pounce.

The human-faced cat bared its teeth at her, threatening her, while arching its back and lowering its body towards the Queen. Guan Ya pretended to pounce, and the human-faced cat immediately stopped, baring its teeth at her again. The two sides were at a standoff.

Guan Ya's eyes frequently looked at Zhang Yuanqing. If she rushed up at this time, the Queen's fate might be transferred to her. The human-faced cat's size, speed, and strength were insurmountable for them in their current state.

She's stalling for time, trying to get me to think of a way? Zhang Yuanqing understood Guan Ya's meaning. His mind raced, but he couldn't think of a way to break the situation. Items couldn't be used, otherwise he could use the Demon-Subduing Talisman's purification to break the curse.

Melee combat was also hopeless.

The Spirit Realm notification didn't show the duration of the curse, which meant that this curse had no time limit and would continue indefinitely. Think of a way, think of a way. He was extremely anxious, but the more anxious he was, the less he could think of a solution.

At this moment, Zhang Yuanqing saw Li Chunfeng, who was on the verge of death, struggling to turn his head and look up, signaling him to look at the cat corpses hanging from the rafters on the opposite wall. Cat corpses?

Inspiration struck Zhang Yuanqing's mind like lightning.

What was the source of the curse? The strategy guide for Yin-Yang Town didn't mention the cat transformation curse. It didn't seem to originate from the descendants of Yin-Yang Sanren as Wang Po had said.

What was the medium of the curse? Teammates who hadn't drunk the tea had also turned into cats, so it wasn't the tea. Was it the cat corpses hanging from the rafters?!

Zhang Yuanqing endured the pain and fatigue, got up, and not so nimbly rushed towards the pillar. His paw pads extended sharp claws, and he struggled to climb up the pillar towards the rafters. Wang Po's face changed drastically, and she shouted, "Son, quick, kill him!" The human-faced cat raised its head, looked at Zhang Yuanqing climbing, immediately abandoned the Queen, and with a light spring, jumped onto the pillar and quickly caught up with Zhang Yuanqing.

Zhang Yuanqing's scalp went numb. The crisis of death made his adrenaline surge, and he jumped. As soon as he jumped, the spot where he had been was replaced by the human-faced cat. Zhang Yuanqing spread his limbs in the air, and his claws narrowly hooked onto the body of a skinned cat corpse, preventing him from falling.

He quickly climbed up along the cat corpse, opened his sharp teeth, and with a "snap", bit through the hemp rope. The two cats fell together. As the cat corpse fell, an invisible force seemed to be broken, and a cold wind swept through the living room.

The human-faced cat on the pillar fell down, rolling around in pain. Its human face quickly turned cat-like, turning into a complete monster cat. The little reason that was in its pupils was replaced by madness and bloodlust. Dense bone spurs grew out of its flesh.

Within seconds, it became even more hideous and terrifying.

It slowly stood up, shook its head, and let out a low growl from its throat. Wang Po's face changed drastically, and she staggered over, "Son, quick, go back to the coffin!" The human-faced cat, no, the hideous monster cat heard the voice, suddenly turned its head, pounced on Wang Po, and its sharp teeth bit into its mother's neck.

*Crack!* The neck bone broke, and bright red blood spurted out.

The big cat clawed at Wang Po's body, biting and tearing wildly. Wang Po's hands and feet twitched for a while, and soon stopped moving.

At this moment, Zhang Yuanqing heard the sound of his own bones cracking, and the cat fur began to shrink back into his pores, and the paw pads gradually turned into palms.

Guan Ya picked up her clothes and pants and ran, turning her head to see the Queen cat crouching on the ground, still in shock. She dragged her clothes and pants forward, gave the Queen cat a slap, and the Queen cat woke up, realizing that her body was beginning to recover, immediately picked up her clothes and pants, followed Guan Ya through the courtyard, and rushed into the room.

It's finally over. Zhang Yuanqing reluctantly chased after the backs of the two female teammates. After ten seconds, his hands and feet changed, his toes and fingers protruded, and he returned to his human form. The curse has receded! Chunfeng by the wall, Nan Li Yuan Shang Cao by the courtyard, and Huode Xingjun by the table, all returned to human form, naked,

But their injuries did not recover, and they were still dying. "Mmm..." The big cat noticed the changes behind it, and turned its head full of blood, and saw Zhang Yuanqing, who was getting up.

It instantly bared its teeth, its senbai (white) teeth have been stained red with blood, hanging with meat, the big cat abandoned Wang Po's body, turned into a ghost and rushed over. At this time, it felt too weak. Zhang Yuanqing stepped forward, grabbed the big cat's neck, and summoned the Bloodthirsty Blade with the other hand.

But when he was about to insert the Bloodthirsty Blade into the monster cat's brain, he suddenly remembered what the Demon Lord said: If I can resist the beauty and killing, maybe I can trigger the hidden task. Beauty can be understood, but what does resisting killing mean? Can this kind of copy not kill monsters?

It definitely doesn't refer to the killing of the sequential and evil camps, otherwise the Demon Lord wouldn't survive and wouldn't be able to clear the Yin Yang Town task. Doesn't killing monsters refer to not killing the monsters in the dungeon? Zhang Yuanqing grabbed the monster and smashed it hard on the ground. The monster instantly quieted down, its chest heaving, and it fell into a semi-comatose state.

At this time, Guan Ya and the Queen came out of the room fully dressed. The two glanced at Zhang Yuanqing's naked body, then retracted their gazes, and Guan Ya quickly walked over, heading straight for Li Chunfeng. She squatted down next to the dying Ji Chunfeng, with a syringe in her hand, the syringe filled with a light golden liquid.

Guan Ya inserted the syringe into Chunfeng's jugular vein, pushed in half a tube of golden liquid, and then injected the remaining half tube of liquid into Huode Xingjun and Chi Ou respectively. "Why don't you teach him?"

Zhang Yuanqing looked at Li Li Yuan Shang Cao,

The wood monster boy groaned, opened his eyes, sat up and said: "I don't need it, I have recovery skills. The wood monster will automatically activate the resurrection before he dies, and can only use it once a day." He twisted his neck, making a click sound: "I have already resurrected, I'm sorry, I was pretending to be dead just now." At this time, Li Chunfeng, Huode Xingjun and Chi Ou all stood up,

"Life essence, you actually have life essence, although it has been diluted, but this thing is the strategic material of the Five Elements Alliance." Li Chunfeng gratefully said: "Thank you, thank you." This woman's position in the official is probably not low.

"It's so dangerous, I almost died, is this what A-level dungeons are like? How difficult are S-levels?" Huode Xingjun didn't think so much, he cursed, and then thanked Guan Ya: "I owe you a life, I will definitely pay you back."

Guan Ya swept across the room of naked men, and said with a smile: "Why don't you put on your clothes quickly, are a few caterpillars very glorious?" After a few people put on their clothes, the Queen took a light breath and came to Zhang Yuanqing's side, and said in a low voice:

"Thank you, if you hadn't broken the curse, I really can't imagine what I would have encountered just now."

"It's good if you don't have a psychological shadow on men." Zhang Yuanqing did not take credit, and said: "It was Li Chunfeng who gave the hint."

Li Chunfeng said: "The medium of the curse is the cat corpse, they formed a curse formation, I thought of it a long time ago, but you were busy dealing with this monster, no one paid attention, by the way, what are you doing keeping it for, kill it."

"Keep it first, I want to do an experiment." Zhang Yuanqing looked around the crowd and said:

"So far, I have not received a Spirit Realm prompt, how about you?" The teammates shook their heads.

"It seems that there will be no prompts, this kind of dungeon is the most troublesome." Zhang Yuanqing sighed, Guan Ya took out a puppet from her pocket and said: "We found this in the room just now."

This puppet is woven from straw, the workmanship is rough, and it is covered with thin needles, with a piece of paper on the front, with the words: "Xu Xiu'er" Xu Xiu'er Zhang Yuanqing pondered for a while and said:

"In the first S-level spirit realm I experienced, the dungeon information was to be inferred and decrypted by the Spirit Realm walkers themselves, and this Yin Yang Town looks like it too." "Fortunately, Wang Po has given enough information, <."

"Let's review it, but I'll do an experiment with it first,"

Saying that, he picked up the half-dead big cat and walked towards the room. What is he going to do? Everyone looked at each other and quickly followed.
