Chad finally returned as everything inside the hall was about to turn into snakes in the eyes of everyone placed under the curse. However, he had a grim expression.
His first sentence stabbed everyone right in the heart. ”He's dead,” Chad reported.
”Is there any news worse than this?” Zoey sighed in dismay.
”He died to the Curse of the Eyes of Vengeance,” Chad's brother Benz added.
”I was afraid that's exactly what you were referring to...” Mo Fan muttered.
The group immediately fell silent. The atmosphere felt extremely weird.
”This won't do, we can't just sit here and do nothing!” Mentor Vani was the first to run out of patience.
They were currently in the hall of a hotel in a city, yet it felt like they were in a snake's nest instead. He would rather take the initiative to get rid of the Curse rather than lose his mind to the constant fear.
”Let me ask General Fenna, I still have her contact number,” Zhao Manyan said.

”What? You were cursed by the eyes of a Medusa?” General Fenna was extremely surprised.
They had agreed to deal with Egypt's undead together, but Mo Fan and his group were already on the verge of getting wiped out just after they had arrived in Cairo. It was the worst start they could hope for!
”Yeah, do you know how to get rid of the Curse? It's too much of a torture; we've already stayed awake for the whole night, we couldn't even get some rest,” Zhao Manyan said.
”Where are you guys? I'll send someone over to pick you up,” General Fenna said.
”We are at Cairo Hotel...” Zhao Manyan glanced at the students of the European University Institute and after a slight hesitation, added, ”You should send another car over. There are some unfortunate guys from the European University Institute that are in the same boat as us.”
”Got it!”

Fenna did not make them wait for too long. She sent four military jeeps to the bustling city centers. The jeeps brought them straight to the military town where high-rank commanders lived.
Cairo was still in the middle of a battle, so there were lots of people and cars along the way. Everyone seemed to be in a hurry.
Fenna had been promoted from a Lieutenant General to a General. She was capable of commanding and leading an army in a battle, and had a reputable status in Cairo now!
”What's up with you guys? Didn't I ask you all to stay in New Suez first?” General Fenna asked Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan with a confused look.
”It's not like we want to be caught in this mess. I didn't think the Medusae would be so narrow-minded,” Mo Fan said helplessly.
”How about them? Are they cursed by the Eyes of Vengeance too?” General Fenna glanced at the people of the European University Institute.
”Yes,” Vani said.
Vani had set aside the pride of a mentor of the European University Institute in front of General Fenna.
The role of a mentor greatly differed from the role of a general, even if their cultivation was on par with one another. The power and strength of a general clearly surpassed that of a teacher. After all, a general had risen from countless battles, while teachers were safe hiding in the cities...
”Can you tell us how we can get rid of the Curse first!?” Zhao Manyan spoke up quickly.
”The Eyes of Vengeance is a very tricky Curse. Normally, if anyone in our army is placed under the Curse, we will send them to the front line to fight for their glory,” General Fenna said.
”To the front line? Isn't that basically asking them to die?” Mo Fan said.
”More or less. There are different Curses from the Eyes of Vengeance: the Life-Seizing Curse, the Shadow Curse, and the Enraging Curse!
”The Life-Seizing Curse is the quickest. No matter where you are, deadly snakes that latch on to every opportunity will devour their victim while they are asleep.
”The Shadow Curse is more like a spooky, hallucinating Curse. The victims under it will be very afraid of snakes. If the Curse continues for a long period of time, it will slowly drive the victims mad!
