In the huge living room, everyone was leaning on the sofa, helpless.
There were all kinds of fresh fruits on the coffee table, but no one was in the mood to eat them.
"Everyone, what should we do?" Li Ming broke the silence.
"They won't take anything hard now. I'm afraid we really have nothing to do." Jiang Hao sighed.
"Li Ming, I know that all you can think about is getting out. But have you really never worried about the curse? The villagers who have always been kind to us now regard us as evil and avoid us," Tianpeng said.
"What kind of curse is there? I'm not interested in this kind of ghost thing. Now I just want to return to the surface as soon as possible." Li Ming's temper has become more and more anxious recently.
"Oh, okay." Tianpeng didn't know what to say. Anyway, Li Ming couldn't listen to anything right now.
Ni Lin glanced at Li Ming and felt a little resentful in his heart. In fact, Ni Lin likes the underground world very much, and is especially obsessed with Meng Yirou. I had planned to confess my love to Meng Yirou when the time came, but now this happened.
Now, Ni Lin has not seen Meng Yirou for three days, and he misses her very much.
"Ding!" At this moment, the door of the villa suddenly opened, it was Xia Zhen and Meng Yirou.
Tianpeng, Jiang Hao, and Nilin stood up and looked towards the door.
However, Li Ming did not stand up, she stared at Xia Zhen fiercely.
Xia Zhen and Meng Yirou walked to the living room, and Ni Lin happily ran to Meng Yirou: "You are finally here."
"Are you okay now?" Meng Yirou smiled.
"Yeah, I'm fine, it's just the others..." Ni Lin said with a bitter smile.
Xia Zhen came to Li Ming and said with a smile: "Hey, are you still angry with me?"
Li Ming adjusted his emotions and said coldly: "There's no need to be angry. It's a fact that I can't beat you."
"To be honest, your strength is really amazing to me. Not to mention that you are only in the first year of the apocalypse, just talking about your age, it is really amazing that someone at your age can actually use the speed of sound and Holland and America. It’s unbelievable. If I hadn’t experienced it myself, I really wouldn’t believe it. No wonder you were able to survive in the underground world before. It seems like it wasn’t all due to luck.”
Xia Zhen's continuous compliments did not make Li Ming feel better, so she did not respond. But Tianpeng could see that Xia Zhen was trying to ease everyone's nervousness, so he immediately smoothed things over and said, "Yes, Li Ming is considered the strongest person in the surface world."
"I see. It seems that you represent the highest strength in the surface world. You must have super talents, just like the village chief." Xia Zhen said.
At this time, Li Ming suddenly couldn't help but reply: "When I am the same age as your village chief, I will definitely be better than him."
"Haha, it's good to be confident, but don't forget the bottleneck. It's like playing a game. You can level up by slashing the enemy a few times in the early stage, but the further you get to the back, the harder it will be to level up."
"I know, you don't have to explain to me what I understand. Can you explain the curse to me? What happened to our bodies? Can't we be let go?" Li Ming cut to the chase.
"We have conducted multiple examinations on your body, and we can basically confirm that you are not cursed. However, in order to make a final determination, you still need 12 rounds of examinations."
"How long will that take?"
"An average of three rounds per day, so you will be free in four or five days." Xia Zhen replied.
Hearing this, Li Ming, who was originally in a bad mood, suddenly became overjoyed.
"Are you telling the truth?" Li Ming stood up.
"Of course it's true, otherwise the two of us wouldn't be able to come here."
"Okay, okay, let's wait a few more days." Li Ming's mood recovered a lot.
"Well, can you explain it? What exactly is a curse?" Curious Tianpeng looked at Xia Zhen.
"About the details of the curse and the land of hell, I can't tell you unless the great elder allows it."
"Why not?"
"Let's talk about this after you go out. The Great Elder will meet you then. By the way, let me remove your seal first." Xia Zhen turned to Li Ming.
The Five Elements Seal can seal the target's abilities. Once sealed, it will be effective for a long time. The effects last for several weeks, but over time, the seal's effectiveness gradually weakens until it disappears. However, if the sealed person knows how to unseal, he can also unseal himself.
Li Ming stood in front of Xia Zhen, turned around, and turned his back to her.
"Take off your clothes." Xia Zhen said.
"Huh? Do you still want to take off your clothes?"
"Of course. How about we change rooms?"
Nilin Jiang Hao couldn't help but stare at Li Ming. This was a subconscious action that they didn't even notice.
Li Ming did not turn around, but said in a more serious tone: "We don't need to change. Those people, you should be more conscious."
Tianpeng stood up first after hearing this. He patted Ni Lin and Jiang Hao on the shoulders: "Let's go, be careful of her getting angry."
Everyone was well aware of Li Ming's bad temper, so they all stood up consciously and walked to the next room.
After they left, Li Ming unbuttoned his shirt and took it off halfway.
On Li Ming's snow-white back, the traces of the five-pointed star were still very clear.
Xia Zhen stretched out her hand and activated her magic power. Air masses of different colors appeared on her five fingertips, representing gold, wood, water, fire and earth respectively.
"It will hurt a little, so bear with it." Xia Zhen said with a smile.
"knew."
"Okay." Xia Zhen put his palm on Li Ming's back, and five air masses penetrated directly into Li Ming's body.
Li Ming's expression suddenly became ferocious, and she even gritted her teeth. She cursed in her heart: What are you doing! Does this hurt a little? It hurt like hell.
The pain caused by the five elements converged into one, and finally spread throughout Li Ming's body.
Li Ming was so painful that she broke out in cold sweat, but out of dignity, she held back and did not make a sound.
After holding on for a few seconds, the pain gradually disappeared, and the five-pointed star behind Li Ming also disappeared.
Xia Zhen retracted his hand: "Okay, feel comfortable now."
Li Ming put on her clothes and felt relaxed: "Did you do it on purpose? It hurts so much, but you only said it hurt a little, and I was not mentally prepared."
"Haha, aren't you a strong woman? Are you still afraid of pain?"
"Who said I'm a strong woman? I've also been hurt by people."
"You started talking about him again. You talk about him every day. Aren't you ashamed?" Xia Zhen said with a smile.
"You don't understand, he is different. If I had not met him, I would definitely be like you and would not marry in my forties or fifties." Li Ming turned to face Xia Zhen.
"Hey, you actually taught me a lesson?"
"I didn't mean that. I meant it. If it weren't for him, I would never have married."
"Okay, okay, I haven't seen him anyway, you can say whatever you want." In fact, Xia Zhen was actually a little curious about what kind of person Jiang Feng was, who could actually win Li Ming's heart.
