System: Replicating The Heavens

Chapter 190 Ch 190: Letter From The Past For Alex (2)

[Since my tribe is destined to be destroyed, it means Freezing Sky Spear will also be destroyed. Freezing Sky Spear is an amazing weapon, it is not just a weapon, it is also the life source of my Tribe that connects us to the Stone Of Tomorrow. But it is also the one that caused us to be cursed and bound us closely to the Stone of Tomorrow, forcing us to become its protectors.]

[When I requested the Stone Of Tomorrow, it sent me to your time where I met you. You already had the shaft of Freezing Sky Spear in your possession at that time. And upon my request, you helped me gather a lot of rare materials. I used those materials to repair the Freezing Sky Spear that not only once again revived my Tribe, but also freed us from the Eternal Curse.]

[However... Although we regained our freedom, you were cursed instead. I can only tell you these things for now. Let's meet again, and it'll be at that time I'll tell you everything. For now, just keep the Freezing Sky Spear's shaft with you!]

[Also, remember, being cursed might not be a bad thing for you. It has its own benefits that you'll soon understand. And... do me a favor and burn my corpse without touching those red substances on my body. It appeared after my death because of the curse!]

This letter shocked Alex a lot, and at the same time, it also confused him. He could not understand many things, one of them being about the curse. After helping the Tribe of Tomorrow, why is it that he'll be cursed?

And... What does the leader mean when he wrote that being cursed might not be a bad thing, and it has its own benefits?

Alex could not understand these things. Shaking his head, Alex kept the piece of paper inside his spatial ring and then shifted his gaze at the long shaft in front of him. This long shaft seemed to be the source of cold in this lake.

The long shaft suddenly shuddered slightly, sending out a desolate wave. It was as if the shaft was expressing its feeling for its dead master, this is a kind of nostalgia for its master.

Presumably, this damaged spear has a profound affection for this master, otherwise, it would not have guarded the corpse of its master for such a long time.

Because of the wave created by the shaft, the corpse slowly floated up from the bottom. When Alex saw this, he knew what this shaft wanted to tell him. Maybe, the leader of the Tribe had already told the shaft everything before he died.

Alex did not dare to reach out and touch the corpse, it is because of the red substance on his body. He simply waved his hand and stored the corpse in his spatial ring.

At this moment, the long shaft gently floated in front of Alex. Alex could feel a sense of gratitude from the long shaft.

When Alex extended his hand and held the shaft, he could feel the loneliness in it.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely bring your master and others back." Alex smiled and said.

The shaft trembled as if responding to Alex's words. Alex could feel that his words has comforted the shaft a lot.

Alex then slowly started swimming upward, and in a very short period of time, he climbed on the small land in the middle of the lake. The moment he stepped on the small land, he felt a strange energy drilling its way into his body. However, it was at this time that the shaft trembled once again and an energy wave burst out from it that caused the strange energy drilling into Alex's body to instantly scatter far away.

From that moment, the strange energy never dared to mess with Alex's body.

Alex knew that that strange energy must be the curse that he read about before.

Carrying the shaft in his hand, Alex walked to the three trees and stood in the middle of them. Then he swept the shaft and thrust it forward.

"Bang!"

A sound erupted along with a violent ripple that clearly visible the invisible barrier. Soon, the barrier slowly disappeared, revealing a cave-like entrance in front of Alex.

Alex could feel an eerie aura from inside, but he still chose to walk forward.

The entrance was dark and horrifying and was like the mouth of a beast. It made Alex feel as if he was stepping inside the mouth of a beast.

Looking at the entrance, Alex took a deep breath and slowly plunged into the darkness without any hesitation.

The space inside was extremely wide and huge. The ceiling was hundreds of feet high, and it was completely dark inside. The moment Alex entered, a cold atmosphere assaulted Alex once again, but this time, it brought an eerie air along.

Alex kept the long shaft inside his spatial ring and took out the Heavy Earth Sword. Then he started walking step by step. As soon as he walked to a distance of more than a hundred meters, the darkness in front of him become so dense that he couldn't even see his own fingers anymore.

"Golden Flame Scorpion King Bloodline, Activate!"

This time, Alex didn't hesitate and activated the bloodline of Golden Flame Scorpion King. Instantly, his aura skyrocketed. Although his cultivation base didn't increase, but he definitely became more powerful than before. Not only that, two flaming spikes grew out from both of his hands that lighted up the surroundings. A crown of fire appeared on Alex's forehead, and at the same time, his pupils seemed to be burning.

Both of his knees were also covered in fire. Alex seemed to be a King that could control fire at his will.

Alex then took out both the long shaft and the corpse and then burnt the corpse in front of the shaft. The moment the fire started burning the corpse, the shaft trembled heavily, as if it was mourning for its master.

After fulfilling his promise, Alex once again kept the shaft inside his spatial ring, and with the help of the light provided by the fire on his body, he started moving forward once again. This time, because of the fire burning on his body, he could see more than ten meters in front of him.

After traveling for a while, the space in front of Alex suddenly started to become more spacious. While Alex was walking, a black shadow flickered in front of Alex. At first, Alex suspected that he must be hallucinating since he is inside a dark space and the atmosphere inside is very eerie, however, Alex soon became more cautious as he remembered that the entire maze is filled with dangers. Every step might trigger a trap and one might fall in great danger that could threaten their lives."

To strengthen his defense, the first thing Alex did was cover his body with fire, becoming a man in the fire. His figure could no longer be seen clearly. From the outside, a person could only see a human-shaped flame burning fiercely.

With this, the surroundings' light suddenly became brighter.

However, Alex carefully controlled his output and did not dare to run wild as he continued to move forward.

Just as he walked for a dozen miles, a black shadow suddenly appeared once again and rushed towards Alex. Alex was already prepared and cautious, he immediately sensed the black shadow the moment it appeared. Alex stepped back before stepping aside, easily dodging the attack of Black Shadow. And it was at this moment that a fireball flew out, straight at the black shadow.

"Crreee!"

A strange scream echoed in the space the moment the fireball landed on the black figure. The black figure was completely covered in the fire as his body started burning. It started stepping back and forth while screaming in pain. And very soon, the dark shadow disappeared completely, leaving behind trails of fire that was proof of its existence.

"What was that?" Alex was shocked. Everything happened too quickly that he was unable to even see the attribute panel of the black shadow. He doesn't even know who he has just killed.

Alex frowned and then took a deep breath. Since he could not find an answer for the time being, he should continue moving forward.

Thinking of this, Alex started moving forward once again while on high alert.

But before Alex could walk even for five minutes, he suddenly felt his heart palpitating. He immediately stepped aside and jumped back, retreating more than five meters.

And it was at this moment that he saw a red shadow flashing on the spot where he was standing just a moment ago. The red shadow's attack missed, so it turned at Alex slowly and roared at him loudly!

"Roar!"

"What the f*ck!"

Alex was shocked. It is because a very familiar creature appeared in front of him. He had seen one before, and so, he knew what this creature was.

"Evil Spirit!"
