Chapter 20: Taboo Curse Mark (Seeking Recommendations)

This is not an exaggeration.

Peach Pigs are gentle in nature, so the breeding base is located inside the school for easier management, hence the security facilities are not strong, only a single wall.

If breached, the school will inevitably fail to react in time, and the first to face the onslaught will be the students.

They haven't had their contracted pets for long, the strongest of which is at the silver rank only, in the face of an onslaught by a commanding beast which is equivalent to a Golden Beastmaster, they will be defeated at first contact.

If there are injuries, it's fine, but if a death occurs, it will turn into a serious incident.

By the time the Ghost-face Curse Frog is suppressed, after the incident concludes, even if Gary Smith was innocently implicated, the Peach Pig Project would inevitably be scrapped, and he would be saddled with a huge debt.

Because he promised to bear the loss in case of project failure before becoming the person in charge of the project.

Otherwise, why would the school hand over the project to a student suspected of "going mad", and give him such great power to allow him to remodel it?

However, high risks do guarantee high returns. If it's successful, Gary Smith can also get 20% of the project profits.

It may seem meager, but he didn't need to invest capital. Relying on the Eyes of Truth technology to make a profiting investment. This is a good thing.

The downside is that once there's a problem, these matters of his will be dug out, and he will become the target of a concentrated attack.

"Two near bankruptcies in a day is even more thrilling than a roller coaster ride!"

Gary Smith exhaled deeply, as to why such a rare golden creature would appear in such a small pig farm, he had also roughly guessed.

Forbidden memory!

After witnessing the Taboo Sun, its related memories turn into a special curse, embedded deep in his soul.

Although it wasn't directly fatal, it left him with a unique field that greatly attracted evil creatures.

Similar to Tang Seng's meat, besides, it came with an auto-played song that constantly shouted about how delicious it was.

The Mark of Nightmare, is the sign that appears after attracting a Nightmare!

And the Ghost-face Curse Frog, probably influenced by that, inclined to the greatest possible probability, was born in the Peach Blossom Forest.

If he hadn't awakened the Door of Truth, his soul would have been devoured by the Nightmare, his innards eaten clean by the curse frog, then he would become a Cursed Puppet enslaved by the body, and finally, either be exterminated by humans or devoured by a wild beast.

Finally, he would crumble into a pile of fragments.

At this moment, Gary Smith felt a strong ill will from fate!

From the moment he stared at the taboo with his mortal body, his life was destined to be a tragedy...

As if!

"How naive!"

Gary Smith whispered softly, his eyes growing deeper, as if countless emotions intertwine, nurturing a seed called ambition.

Although he had awakened the Door of Truth, he had not changed his mindset and just wanted to solve the Mark of Nightmare and then live a comfortable life, while slowly striving to become a powerful Beastmaster.

But witnessing the taboo with a mortal body is a sin!

The crime - weakness!

He looked at the sky and the earth, everything was extremely distorted, he felt as if he was in a large bloated demon body, countless wriggling eyes filled with feathers and tentacles looking down and laughing at his foolishness and incompetence.

If it were before, Gary Smith would be panicked, worried, scared, and respect these great existences.

But now, he has come to his senses.

Looking at the shining sun in the sky, Gary Smith endured the dazzling light, admiration flashed in his eyes, he reached out his hand and grabbed it in the void, exclaiming:

"It's so beautiful..."

As the Master of the Gate, and the creator of the Secret Food, everything in this world is nothing more than a material!

No matter how many demons come, they will only become his nourishment to grow stronger, helping him to step towards the throne of God.

Even the Taboo Sun,

Why can't it be a material?

Since I have been polluted by the taboo, begging for mercy would be useless.

Then why not adjust your mindset in advance, enter the chess game of these great existences, attempt to change from a chess piece to a chess player, and finally...

Overturn this chessboard!

Gaming with an Evil God, it should be fun, right?

A jubilant smile crossed Gary Smith's mouth.

"Ying?"

The Little Spider was somewhat confused, it always felt that its master had changed in some way, as if he had become happier.

Although it couldn't understand, as long as the master is happy, it would be super happy.

Gary Smith patted the little guy's head, his gaze warm, it would be the only one standing firmly by his side on the road ahead.

It becomes the anchor to his stability!

He looked at the curse frog, which was so full of resentment that it seemed to want to skin him, took off his sunglasses, and looked at it squarely.

"Croak!"

Even the brutal curse frog was shocked by this look at this moment, and couldn't help but step back.

Because what it saw was not anger, not killing intent, the look was straightforward and calm, but carried a sense of...

Madness!

It's clearly a weak human being, but those eyes filled with blood-filled eyes, it is filled with a kind of madness.

Attempting to tear apart fate, desecrate the taboo!

But the next moment, the curse frog reacted, it had been scared by a mere human, it was a great disgrace, and also the enemy who forced it to rupture its mother.

"Gur—— quack!"

The Ghost-face Curse Frog inflated its air sac, shaking space and creating cracks in the ground around it.

The sound wave spread out. Spotting the curse frog's move, Gary Smith immediately covered his ears, and Little Spider mimicked his action.

But their blood flow still stalled for a moment, feeling a surge of weakness.

Weakness Curse!

Not surprisingly, their elite-rank adversary's first curse sound was troublesome!

Transmitted through sound, it allowed the frog to act like a shaman from a game, attaching negative buffs to opponents through sound.

Though not fatal, it further escalated the already significant gap in strength.

Fortunately, as the offspring of an overlord, Little Spider has a powerful innate spiritual power. Coupled with the stabilizing blindfold, it was not greatly affected.

"Quack quack quack quack..."

At the same time, hundreds of Peach Blossom Spotted Frogs bounced out of the water, among which were several giant Peach Blossom Drum Frogs. Their eyes were dull as they surged forward in waves like an army of zombies.

"Void Beam!"

Gary Smith calmly commanded, the Six Eyes of the Void gathered purple radiance again, transforming into beams of light. Due to the high energy consumption of spatial system skills, their primary targets were the evolved Peach Blossom Drum Frogs. They penetrated them in no time.

Void Toxin spread, crystallizing the flesh and blood instantly, which exploded into countless flying crystal powders.

Keep this up, and the Cursed Puppet Legion will soon collapse.

Sadly, the curse frog won't give them this opportunity. Constantly producing Curse Sounds to weaken the enemies, it had the Cursed Puppet Frogs create dust clouds by moving the soil, which blurred their vision.

If it were any average Beastmaster, they would indeed be hindered by the obscured vision and struggle to act.

However, Little Spider, who uses its inner eye to perceive its surroundings, does not rely on its eyes. Thus, Void Beams continued without pause, killing the Cursed Puppets.

A ruthless massacre ensued.

Overlord-level, rulers of the land with countless creatures serving under them. Even their offspring possess the potential to slaughter thousands of beings!

"Quack!"

This scene enraged the Curse Frog, its eyes bulging almost to the point of bursting out of sheer anger.

Boom!

It waved its forelimbs to raise a large amount of water. Merging it with the soil to form a muddy bog, it incited the Puppet Frogs to continue throwing the mud around.

"Spider Silk Shield!"

Upon hearing its master's command, Little Spider formed a massive square-shaped shield in front of it by converging spider silk. At the same time, it used silk threads extending from the four corners to wrap around large trees for offset forces, successfully blocking a large amount of mud attack.

"Quack!"

Ghost Face Curse Frog kept pushing, not giving any opportunities, opening its big mouth and spraying venom.

This time, however, the target was no longer Little Spider but Gary Smith.

"Ying!"

Upon spotting this, Little Spider acted on instinct to protect its master. Suddenly attacked by over a dozen puppet birds from behind, though it managed to dodge and create distance by blinking through space, it was nonetheless distracted.

They even created a batch of Cursed Puppet Birds to ambush at critical moments!

Surprised, Gary Smith stood still, frozen on the spot.

"Ying ying."

Rushing, Little Spider ordered the Eyes of the Void to kill the flying birds while it blinked through space to deflect the venom using the Spider Silk Shield.

Sizzle sizzle!

Despite its strength, the spider silk was not alloy and was instantly corroded by the venom, emitting sizzling sounds. The Eyes of the Void in the distance were also tangled up.

At this moment, Little Spider lost its protection!

"Quack!"

Ghost Face Curse Frog finally saw its opportunity. Blood-red patterns emerged from the cheeks on both sides of its face once again and, as it drew breath and expanded, formed a terrifying ghost face pattern.

Psychic Skill - Ghost Face!

Weird fluctuations spread, transforming into a psychic assault that enveloped Little Spider, causing it to lose focus for a moment and stand still.

At the same time, the Ghost-face Curse Frog didn't wait any further. With a sudden leap, despite it being a physically fragile mage who shouldn't get close, it had another card up its sleeve.

The signature move of frogs - Tongue Whip!

Whoosh!

The blood-red tongue whipped out, zooming towards Little Spider.

If it's hit, even a gigantic rock would instantly shatter, let alone a fragile mage like Little Spider.

"Gur Quack!"

Brutal pleasure filled the large eyes of the Ghost-face Curse Frog as if it had seen Little Spider getting devoured and becoming nourishment for its evolution.

"Didn't you know that mages are swordsmen in close combat?"

As Gary Smith's calm voice echoed, the curse frog suddenly smelled a hint of danger, sensing something was wrong.

The seemingly frail Little Spider, whose silver hair hanging down on its shoulders and black and gold blindfold draped over its eyes, shone in the sunlight that slipped through the mottled leaves, turning black and gold, was splendid and holy.

At that moment, it was as if time overlapped, and the elegantly beautiful Nun of Heaven had descended.

It stretched out its slim, jade-like hands. Countless spider silk converged and combined, forming two slender sword blades held in Little Spider's hands. The energy whipped up a gale around it, lifting the fallen peach blossom petals which twirled gracefully in the air.

In the midst of the beautiful shower of petals, a figure rushed straight into the fray. Accompanied by the dark red sword light that engulfed everything, dark night corroded everything. The world turned grey.

With a soul-dominating body, it swung its body like a sword.

Mind Eye Soul Sword!
