Chapter 318 - Prey (2/2)

It was too powerful. The pressure was too strong. Not only did it affect his body, but it also affected his spirit. At that moment, he felt like a huge mountain was pressing on his body and spirit. He even felt like he was about to faint.

I cannot faint! The Atlantean reminded himself. However, he could not do anything. The terrifying pressure would not let him off, and the black captain would not let him off either.

The Atlantean’s eyelids were getting heavier. He tried his best to widen his eyes, but he could not resist the double pressure on his body and mind. In the end, he saw the captain walk toward him with a dagger in his hand.

I’m dead! That was the only thought on the Atlantean’s mind. He did not deserve to be killed by the natives.

However, the black captain did not do anything in the end. He bowed deeply before Wei Huo and said, “I believe in you. I admire your strength. I beg you to allow me to make a small request. I want to continue using this gun to kill the enemy!”

Wei Huo pointed into the distance. “Follow me. None of the enemies can escape.”

As soon as the Atlantean lost, the other Atlanteans stopped moving forward. They realized that something was wrong, so they retreated without hesitation and soon escaped their shooting range.

The black captain nodded. He picked up the gun and followed Wei Huo.

Wei Huo left with the captain.

At that moment, the Atlantean who had fainted due to the strong pressure gradually woke up. He was a little surprised. “I escaped this calamity?”

He struggled to stand up. His bones were about to fall apart, as the pressure was too strong. However, he immediately realized that the surrounding plants had turned pitch-black, as if someone had splashed them with black dye.

He was confused. “Are plants on land pitch-black as well?”

He took a few steps and realized that not only had the surrounding plants turned black, but the ground had also turned black. The shattered stones had turned black as well. Even the clothes and armor he had obtained after hunting the natives had turned black.

“What is this?!” He was suddenly terrified. The black color gradually spread. Besides his clothes, his skin and arms had also started turning black.

He took out a knife and slashed his wrist. Black blood flowed out.

The Atlantean was terrified. “What is going on? Why is this happening?”

Soon, the Atlantean could not see anything. His eyes turned pitch-black as he shouted, “This is a curse! This must be the curse of the natives!”

He recalled that the natives here had black skin. That had to be the curse of the natives!

However, he did not know what would happen next. His body started shrinking and emitting water. Large amounts of water spread out, and his skin and muscles shriveled up.

Meanwhile, his body was also changing. He slowly turned from an upright person to an animal with four limbs stepping on the ground. He looked like a cheetah, but there was no hair on his body. He was shriveled and weak, like a mummy-like cheetah that had crawled out of an Egyptian pyramid.

The animal suddenly opened its pitch-black eyes and rushed into the distance. It was extremely fast and it kept sniffing the surrounding air. It found a lone Atlantean and quietly touched it.
