Chapter 256
Gu Shihan waved his hand to deal with the few men in black, and slowly went down the not-too-deep mine tunnel. He could see many monks busy hammering on the stone walls and digging for magic crystals.
The eyes of these people seemed unusually dull and lifeless, which was obviously caused by the long-term erosion of demonic energy.
Today, they have almost become useless people, and it is probably a pipe dream for them to embark on the path of cultivation again.
"Xingbai, in your opinion, can these people switch to practicing magic?" Gu Shihan looked at the scene in front of him with a serious face, a hint of worry in his eyes.
Xing Bai frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "It's impossible! They must have been imprisoned in their immortal power to dig the magic stone. The magic energy accumulated over time, and their spiritual roots and flesh were gradually corroded by this thick magic energy.
If their spiritual energy was not restricted, perhaps they could switch to practicing.
But at the moment, it seems that their spiritual roots have been destroyed and their physical bodies are crippled. Without my spiritual roots, they can't practice any skills and are nothing more than useless people.
But now, what’s even worse is that not only have their spiritual roots been damaged, but even their minds have been corroded by the evil spirit. It’s hard for them to survive! What a sin!”
As they were talking, the monks had already checked out the monks in this area, and a rough count revealed that there were more than forty of them.
It is somewhat comforting that less than half of the cultivators still have a glimmer of hope and can survive by eliminating the evil spirit, but they can no longer practice.
Gu Shihan glanced at the monks who had been tortured beyond recognition, and an uncontrollable anger surged in his heart.
She gritted her teeth, turned her head and said to the people behind her: "Everyone, let's get those monks who still have hope of recovery out safely first."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded to indicate their agreement with her proposal.
So, the group quickly took action and carefully approached those monks who still had a possibility of recovery.
Just as they were preparing to evacuate with some monks, suddenly, they heard a low and terrifying roar coming from deep in the mining area.
Immediately afterwards, countless black demonic shadows surged out like a tide, with their fangs and claws bared, their faces ferocious, and they pounced towards everyone at an extremely fast speed.
Gu Shihan shouted: "Everyone be careful!" She and Xingbai stood at the front to resist the evil shadow.
Lin Feng stood up and said, "Fairy, we can't just sit there and watch. I'll help you!"
The other monks also used various tricks and mustered up their courage to fight against the ravages of the evil shadow.
As the battle went on, there seemed to be more and more demon shadows. If one was broken up, the demon cultivator's fragments would immediately scatter into several groups and generate more demon shadows. The more they were killed, the more there were, making the group of cultivators feel despair.
"Hanhan, let's use the Red Lotus Karma Fire. If we delay any further, they will all be finished."
"Well, I didn't expect there would be such a thing in this mine." Gu Shihan said loudly: "Everyone quickly retreat, leave it to me!"
She quickly formed seals with her hands, and red lotus fire quickly rose from her palms, covering the demon shadow and blocking it in the mine.
The Red Lotus Karma Fire advanced rapidly, and soon the mine was cleared out and the flames were evacuated. After a "booming" sound, the mine sank and collapsed.
Everyone was originally immersed in the joy of being temporarily out of danger, but this relaxed atmosphere did not last long.
Perhaps the adverse effects brought by the demonic shadow had not yet dissipated. Those monks who had suffered extremely severe erosion from the demonic energy suddenly went crazy and started a bloody and cruel fight with each other.
When Gu Shihan and others rushed to the scene, there were already several corpses lying on the ground. The dark red blood had dyed the ground red. The scene was horrifying.
"Everyone, step back quickly! They have all lost their reason and mind!" Gu Shihan shouted anxiously, and at the same time stretched out his hand to signal everyone to quickly retreat away from this chaotic place.
"Are we just going to watch them kill each other?" Someone in the crowd couldn't help but ask, his voice full of pity and confusion.
"What else can we do? If you have the courage, go up and give it a try. They are no longer human beings now. They have become monsters that only know how to kill! For them, death may be the best way to get relief." A monk named Wu Ziming responded loudly, his expression serious and solemn.
Lin Feng turned around and looked at the other cultivators who seemed somewhat dumbfounded and at a loss because of the scene before their eyes. He frowned and asked, "Does it mean that there is really no way out for these people? Are they all hopeless?"
After Gu Shihan glanced at the group of monks engaged in a crazy fight, his eyes flashed slightly and he winked at Xing Bai beside him.
Xingbai nodded in understanding. He strode forward quickly and swiftly led those who still had a chance of survival and had not completely lost themselves away from the melee to a safe place.
Seeing Xing Bai's actions, Lin Feng couldn't help but ask again out of curiosity: "Fairy, may I ask what exactly does your companion want to do by doing this?"
Gu Shihan said calmly: "Oh, he is a medical immortal, maybe he can help them, but their foundations have been eroded by the demonic energy, so they are useless. Even if they can still practice, there won't be much progress, but they will still have no problem surviving."
After Xing Bai was busy for a while, he shook his head at Gu Shihan and said, "Hanhan, those who have lost their minds are beyond help. Those here can be treated, but they will only be mortals after they recover, and their lifespan will be greatly reduced. Do we still need to save them?"
Gu Shihan looked at the scene in front of him, sighed deeply, and said to Xingbai with a worried look on his face: "Xingbai, will this rescue work be particularly troublesome?"
After carefully observing the conditions of the monks, Xingbai turned to look at Gu Shihan and comforted him, "It's not bad. I will prepare some enhanced pills. One pill per person will allow them to gradually regain consciousness. If someone wants further treatment until they are fully recovered, I can continue to provide them with pills." After that, Xingbai began to prepare the materials and tools needed to make medicine.
Just then, just as Gu Shihan had just assigned the task, Lin Feng came over quickly. He showed a trace of pity in his eyes, and said softly to Gu Shihan: "Fairy, in my opinion, for those who can no longer be treated, it is better to give them a quick death. It is too cruel to drag it out like this."
Gu Shihan hesitated for a moment, then nodded, indicating his agreement with Lin Feng's proposal, and slowly said: "Okay, then you guys can handle this matter! As for those who have a chance of being saved, let Xingbai take them to the side for treatment."
