Even though what Mine Chief Zhuang described involved the bizarre state of the mine veins, it was his final mention of falling under a gu curse that caused Hu Ma's anxiety to spike.
The Shousui man's abilities stemmed from reincarnation and Death Transformation, from practicing and circulating energy through their meridians. This ultimately cultivated a strong physique, impervious to all poisons and impenetrable by weapons. Especially if one had refined life within the Five Organs, consuming poison was merely like using a condiment.
Yet, this Mine Chief surnamed Zhuang claimed he was merely scratched by a dead crow sent by a Witch, leading to such dire consequences. How could one not be shocked?
Slowly exhaling, Hu Ma finally said, "What happened next?"
"You should know the Witches around here, didn't you ask them? Who sealed the entrance, and why?"
"..."
"Of course I asked."
