The Cursed Land was one of the six forbiddennds in Division 3. It was a lonely ind located on the east coast of the Peaceful Ocean.


    The reason why the people named it the Cursed Land was not because humans who visited thend would be cursed. Instead, it was because all the monsters that entered would be cursed and would be unable to leave.


    It was said that all the monsters that left the ind would die within 24 hours. Their dead bodies would transform into spirits, and they would return to the ind.


    There was more than one Imperial Censor who had performed experiments here with their pet monster. As long as the pet monster was summoned on the ind, they would die within 24 hours, transforming into a spirit despite being recalled when the Imperial Censor left the ind. The contract between the pet monster and the Imperial Censor would then be rendered void. They would attack all the creatures that blocked their way for the sake of returning to the ind.


    Apart from that, all the creatures that died on this ind, including humans would turn into spirits and be new prisoners on the ind.


    Lin Huang had heard of the different kinds of stories about the forbiddennd soon after he reached Division 3. He had also read through the information, so he was not even going to attempt it.


    He chose such a ce to obtain the cross-ranking reward because he suspected that there would be a hidden spiritual god’s item or god relic on this ind.


    In fact, Lin Huang was not the first one who thought about this.


    Just as the Cursed Land was discovered, many had suggested this. Up until more than 100 years ago, the rumor had spread to the entire Division 3, and almost all of the transcendents knew this.


    Back then, many groups of explorers visited the Cursed Land. The explorers ughtered almost all the spirits on the ind. Every single corner of the ind was explored, but nothing was discovered.


    Over the past hundred years, nobody managed to find any of the spiritual items. Soon, the number of people who believed in this became lesser, and the number of explorers who visited the ind declined.


    What Lin Huang was thinking of was pretty simple. He merely wanted to look for a ce with many immortal-level rank-9 monsters. The only locations that fulfilled this criterion were the six forbiddennds in Division 3. Since the Cursed Land was one of the forbiddennds and there was such a legend about it being a ce with spiritual items, Lin Huang decided to pay it a visit.


    He was not expecting much from this trip. His main intention was to hunt the monsters so that he could obtain the cross-ranking reward. He would walk around and leave the Cursed Land after that.


    He departed from Martel City and finally arrived at his destination, the Cursed Land, after two days.


    The ind was not as deserted as Lin Huang expected. He used to think that a ce where spirits lived would not have any living nts. However, it was an ind with lush greenery. Since the ind was barely visited, it looked like a primitive jungle.


    Most of the immortal-level explorers had to be extra careful when exploring a forbiddennd like this, including Lin Huang.


    He did not enter the jungle in the first ce. He gradually floated into the air, retreating hundreds of meters away from the ind. He then summoned Bloody.


    The curse was not going to work if one did not enter the region covered by the ind. This was also the reason why the fishes nearby could leave safely after hunting for food in the vicinity.


    After confirming this, Lin Huang then dared to summon Bloody. However, for the sake of his monster’s safety, he retreated 300 meters away before crushing Bloody’s card.


    "Is this the Cursed Land?" Bloody was curious about the ind. "It’s much livelier than I thought."


    "That’s what I thought too." Lin Huang said, smiling. "I won’t bring you in this round. Please help me to check the location of the immortal-level rank-9 monsters, and I’ll recall you back into your card formter."


    Bloody nodded its head. It knew that Lin Huang was doing so for the sake of its safety.


    The Leech Pods were then controlled by Bloody, spreading towards the vast ind.


    After more than half an hour, Bloody then nodded its head at Lin Huang. "I’ve found them. There are quite a number of immortal-level rank-9 monsters on this ind."


    "I supposed that you’ve explored further. Is there anything else you discovered?" Lin Huang knew Bloody very well. Since it knew that there were hidden spiritual items on this ind, it would definitely check those out.


    "I found nothing special. There’s a burial ground situated at the west of the ind. However, it seems like it’s been dug countless times. There are a fewkes, which I think the people have explored as well. I’ll mark them on the map for you."


    A map that Lin Huang had bought from the ck market was then projected. Bloody marked it with different colors. The location of the immortal-level rank-9 monsters was marked in yellow whereas the location of the imperial-levels was marked in red. As for thekes, Bloody marked them with a blue water droplet, and the burial ground was marked with a skeleton symbol. Several ces looked strange to Bloody, so it marked them with a yellow question mark.


    After getting all these done, Bloody briefly exined to Lin Huang about the condition of the ces other than the burial ground. Lin Huang then recalled it back into its card form and headed towards the yellow spot, which was the nearest to him.


    Before exploring, he wanted to obtain all the cross-ranking rewards first.


    Soon, Lin Huang arrived at his first destination.


    The first monster marked by Bloody was a spiritual bird.


    It had two heads, but it obviously had them all along even before turning into a spirit. On top of the two of its heads, four white eyeballs without irises appeared. There were wounds on its stomach and wings. The wounds had stopped bleeding and had even begun to decay. However, it did not seem to have any reaction to it.


    "I’ve no idea how long the Twinhead Dragon Condor has died for." Lin Huang could tell what type of monster it was at first nce.


    After observing it for a while, Lin Huang crushed the Double Reward Card he had and attacked the immortal-level rank-9 monster in a sh.


    If he leveled up to gold me-level under the regr leveling process, he would not have the confidence to kill an immortal-level rank-9 monster. However, he was pretty confident that he could now kill most of the immortal-level rank-9 monsters.


    In less than two minutes, both the Twinhead Dragon Condor’s heads were chopped off by Lin Huang’s constant attacks. Before he could even store its dead body in his storage space, a notification from Xiao Hei arrived.


    "Congrattions! You’vepleted nonuple cross-ranking kill: Reward Card Draw x60!"


    The effective period of the Double Reward Card was only an hour.


    Lin Huang then put the dead body away and did not linger there any longer. He opened his map and proceeded towards the second yellow spot!
