Chapter 298 The Coming of the Curse and the Unexpected Visitor

Lin Xiao's mention of the "Phantom Eye" curse made everyone in the team a little uneasy. Although Qin Feng looked indifferent on the surface, he couldn't help but feel a little worried deep down.

"Don't be so nervous. The so-called curse might just be a legend." Lin Xiao patted Ye Li's shoulder gently, trying to comfort everyone.

"I hope so," Ye Li said with a smile, "but the way you mentioned the curse really makes it hard to relax."

"Hey, I just wanted to create some atmosphere! If you think I ruined the atmosphere, then I apologize." Lin Xiao made a face, covered his mouth, and pretended to shut up.

"Now is not the time to joke." Chu Tian said seriously, "If there really is a curse, we must be prepared."

Zhang Meng scratched his head and muttered in disagreement: "I think we've got enough troubles already, and we don't need another curse."

Qin Feng couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, we all need to relax a little. Now we don't know whether this curse is true or not, nor do we know what impact it will bring. So the best way is to stay vigilant, but don't worry too much."

Just as Qin Feng finished saying this, a strange smell suddenly filled the air, a bit like something burnt, and a bit like... stinky socks? Everyone couldn't help but frown.

"What's that awful smell?" Ye Li covered her nose with her hands and frowned.

"Why do I feel that this smell is a bit like the remnants of some magic?" Chu Tian said while sniffing the air.

"You are all wrong." Lin Xiao suddenly stopped and looked up at the sky. "This is not the remnant of magic, something is coming!"

Just as Qin Feng was about to ask, a green lightning bolt fell from the sky and landed in front of them. A figure slowly emerged from the lightning bolt - a short old man in tattered clothes and with messy hair.

"Oh, I finally found it!" The little old man's voice was as charming as his appearance. He looked very old, but his eyes were extremely sharp, and he exuded a mixture of stench and electricity.

"Who is this weirdo?" Zhang Meng looked at the uninvited guest in surprise.

"Who knows." Lin Xiao smiled slightly, "Maybe he is here to remove the curse for us."

"Remove the curse? Me? Haha, so naive! I'm here with a mission!" The short old man laughed exaggeratedly, and his whole body was shaking with laughter.

Qin Feng frowned: "Who are you? Why did you find us?"

The short old man wiped the tears from his eyes and grinned, "Me? I'm the legendary prop master, Electric Old Man! I'm here to help you!"

"Old man Dian? How can you help us?" Ye Li asked curiously.

"Oh, I can do anything!" The old man blinked and took out some strange gadgets. "For example, this 'Hot Wheels' can make you fly over all traps, this 'Invisibility Cloak' can make you disappear, and of course, there is this 'Super Powerful Pill', which can make you recover instantly during the battle!"

"It sounds like it's very powerful." Chu Tian's eyes lit up, but then he asked doubtfully, "Why are you helping us?"

"Of course it's because you have the 'Phantom Eye'!" The old man whispered mysteriously, "I know you just got it, and you must not have fully mastered its power, right?"

Qin Feng nodded: "You are right, we are indeed still learning how to use it."

The old man smiled proudly: "That's right! You need my props to stimulate the true power of the 'Phantom Eye'! Of course, I won't help you for free, you have to agree to one condition of mine."

"What conditions?" Zhang Meng asked immediately. He was obviously not very reassured about the sudden appearance of the electric old man.

"As for the conditions, keep them secret for now." The old man laughed wickedly, "You'll know once you use my tools."

"It sounds like something is not right." Ye Li frowned, "How can we trust you?"

"Oh, little girl, I know you don't believe me." The old man spread his hands, "But, you don't have any other choice except me now, right?"

Although everyone was skeptical about the old man's motives, there was really no other way at the moment, so Qin Feng decided to temporarily accept the old man's help with props.

"Okay, let's give it a try first." Qin Feng said helplessly, "But you have to make sure these things won't harm us."

"Of course! Of course!" The old man nodded excitedly and handed a bunch of props to Qin Feng. "Okay, take these and go on an adventure. Good luck!"

Lin Xiao couldn't help but laugh: "It seems like we have found a treasure, but should we worry about this condition?"

"Use it first." Qin Feng shrugged and handed the "Hot Wheels" to Chu Tian, ​​"Chu Tian, ​​use this to explore the way."

Chu Tian looked at the seemingly ordinary disc with suspicion, but still stood on it according to the old man's instructions.

"Can this thing really be used?" Chu Tian muttered, then kicked it lightly, and the disc actually flew up!

"Wow! I'm flying!" Chu Tian exclaimed, looking a little excited and a little scared, "This is such a magical thing!"

"Come down quickly! Be careful not to fall!" Ye Li shouted from below.

Chu Tian flew a circle in the air and landed steadily. He shouted excitedly: "So cool! This thing really works!"

Seeing Chu Tian's performance, everyone's expressions eased a little, but Lin Xiao still maintained a cautious attitude: "It seems to be effective, but we still have to be careful."

"Of course, of course." Qin Feng said with a smile, "Let's try to use these props to walk out of this area and see if there will be any changes."

Just as they were about to move on, the old man suddenly shouted, "Be careful! Over there!"

Before anyone could react, a strong shock wave came from a distance, knocking everyone to the ground.

"What's going on!" Zhang Meng fell to the ground and shouted in panic.

"Haha, this is an ambush by the Dark Cult!" The old man shouted excitedly, "But don't be afraid, they can't do anything to you with me here!"

The old man waved his hand and a huge shield appeared out of thin air, blocking the attack of the Dark Cult. Everyone was stunned.

"This...this is too magical, right?" Chu Tian couldn't help but say.

"Of course! I'm the Electric Old Man!" The Electric Old Man grinned proudly.

"Then what are we waiting for? Go!" Lin Xiao shouted, took out her "Shadow Arrow" and shot it in the direction of the Dark Sect.

"Let's go! Let's follow!" Qin Feng waved the Dragon Shadow Sword and led everyone out.

The battle scene instantly became chaotic, with the old man's various props flying around the battlefield, and a variety of attacks and defenses emerging one after another. The people of the Dark Sect had never expected to encounter such a strange opponent, and they were caught off guard one by one.

"These props are really interesting!" Ye Li said with a smile as she used the Frost Fox to freeze the enemy.

"Yeah, but it's pretty troublesome if I don't use it properly." Chu Tian tried to control the Hot Wheels while flying in the air, "I feel like I'm about to fall!"

The old man stood aside, dancing with excitement: "Good job! Harder!"

The battle lasted for a while, and the people of the Dark Sect finally couldn't hold on any longer and began to flee in all directions. Qin Feng and his team successfully won this chaotic victory.

"It's so fun!" Lin Xiao cheered, "We won!"

After the battle, the old man clapped his hands and said, "Well, you guys performed well. Now it's time for me to make some conditions."

"Oh? What exactly do you want?" Qin Feng asked vigilantly.

"Haha, my conditions are very simple," the old man grinned, "I hope you can do me a favor in the future. I will keep the details secret for now."

"What? This is too blurry, isn't it?" Zhang Meng frowned.

"Don't worry, I won't let you die." The old man blinked, "It's just a small favor."

Qin Feng thought for a while and finally nodded: "Okay, we promise you. But you have to promise not to put us in unnecessary danger."

The old man laughed loudly: "Don't worry! I, the old man, always keep my word!"

After solving the problem of the old man, Qin Feng and his team continued their journey. Although everyone still had some doubts about the old man's motives, they also knew that sometimes some seemingly strange allies might play an unexpected role at a critical moment.

"I hope our choice is right." Ye Li said softly.

"Who knows? But adventure is a journey full of unknowns and surprises." Lin Xiao said with a smile.

Qin Feng looked at everyone and said with a smile: "No matter how difficult the road ahead is, we will go on together."

Everyone nodded and embarked on a new journey with a smile.
