79 Chapter 79
As the news spread, Dick and the others' expressions became complicated. They had thought that they could finish the task faster than other Green-Hand Villages after they got the copper ball ahead of time.
But they didn't expect that their task was two times more difficult than the other Green-Hand Villages' tasks, and it was the only Green-Hand Village that the task had been increased in difficulty. In that case, they might fall behind in speed.
"Damn it! I didn't expect our task to be two times more difficult than the other Green-Hand Villages. In that case, we have to compete with all the Green-Hand Villages for the top ten. This is too harsh."
Dick said, massaging between his eyebrows. Edward and Lelly also looked serious.

But on the other hand, if they could get the top ten, they would get two times the reward of the other Green-Hand Villages. Moreover, even if they only got the tenth place, their value would definitely be higher than first place.
But could we really get the tenth place? Or could we really become the top 100 villages to build castles?
Dick was not sure.
However, the direction they were heading had been decided. If they wanted the Green-Hand Village to survive, they had to keep moving forward. Even if the difficulty of the task would be increased by two times, they still had to complete it.
Only strength could support them to go on!
"Let's go. It's meaningless to struggle with the two times difficulty of the task now. The world will never cancel its decision. If it doesn't work, we have to do it again tomorrow."
Dick took a deep breath and patted Edward and Lelly.
"Yes, if we just stand there and do nothing, even if the difficulty is half of the original, we can't complete the task. Only when we move forward can we see the hope of victory!"
Edward shook his head and tried to get rid of those thoughts.
The three of them continued to walk along the road. The innermost part of the castle should be the center of Green-Hand Village.
In the center of No. 1002548 Green-Hand Village, there was a flat square, and in this abandoned Green-Hand Village, it would not change.
"Click."
A light sound broke the silence in the village. The three people immediately became nervous. They leaned back and guarded the surroundings.
However, they did not find anything unusual. The darkness around them did not change at all as if the light sound just now came from an illusory world.
"It's so strange. I heard it."
Lelly asked doubtfully. But before he finished his words, he felt a cold touch on his leg, as slippery as a snake.
At the same time, the cold touch seemed to go along his legs towards his nerves. In a moment, Lelly only felt that his blood vitality, energy, and even experience points had fallen a lot.
"Dark erosion! There is something in the black fog!"
Lelly screamed. He remembered the talent Dick had told him could cause the decline of his blood vitality, energy and experience points. Wasn't this his current situation!
Dick and Edward also found something unusual. The two of them quickly turned their heads and put Lelly in the middle, enveloping the three people's bodies with the light of purification.
But even so, the black fog on Lelly's body did not disappear. A painful expression appeared on his face. One of his legs had turned purple-black, and countless tentacle-like lines were approaching his heart.
"Dick, is this really the dark erosion? My light of purification can only slow down the spreading of erosion, but it can't completely purify it. It's more like a poison than a talent!"
Edward said to Dick nervously after checking Lelly's condition. They couldn't even see clearly what had attacked them in the black fog.
If the dark erosion could only be stopped after the user was killed, then at this speed, Kelly would definitely die!
"Edward, you go back to the place where we came with Lelly. I will find a way to deal with the dark erosion. You retreat to the castle gate and immediately use the light of purification to cover the two of you. If I haven't come back before dawn, you should leave immediately."
Dick took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice.
"Visual mutation has provided him with an extraordinary vision. He can see the human-shaped object wrapped in snakes in darkness.
Edward and Lelly couldn't handle it. Even if their talents had a restraining effect, it was still impossible to surpass the class of level and talent.
"But."
Edward wanted to say something more, but Dick quickly turned around and glared at him.
"What do you want to say? You are just a burden to me now! Have you forgotten what you promised me? Lelly's life is in your hands! Run!"
Edward was stunned. Then he gritted his teeth, quickly took off his robe with the light of purification and threw it to Dick.
"Listen up, this is a level-4 item! The light of purification contained in it can resist the attack of the dark which is four-level higher than the user! You must come back alive. If you die, I will curse you every day!"
After saying that, Edward ran all the way to the gate with Lelly in his arms without looking back.
Putting on the robe, Dick felt a warm power enveloping his body. In this dark and wet environment, he was as shiny as the sun.
"Ha ha, nice man. In order to let your companions escape, you chose to stay here? You should have already seen me, right? I think your talent should be related to vision. Unfortunately, you are going to die soon!"
A grating voice came from the mist as if two pieces of iron were rubbing against each other.
Then, a tall and thin man walked out of the black fog. He was wearing broken armor, and countless colorful snakes grew in his body instead of his flesh.
The black fog seemed to come out of his body, and there was even a smile on his dry and rotten face.
He smelled the scent of Dick's blood vitality. For a corpse like him, it was no different from the deadliest poison, which made him crazy. He couldn't wait to tear Dick's throat apart right now.
