Chapter 299 Old Su was tricked

In the evening, Ning Daoran returned to the pharmacy.

"Mr. Xiaoning, you are finally back!"

After entering the door, I saw Su Chuanping. The master of the Su family martial arts school was no longer as calm as before. He said anxiously: "Thank you Mr. Xiaoning for saving Mei'er's life. Many disciples in the martial arts school were killed by monsters. If you hadn't saved her, Mei'er might have..."

"ah?"

Ning Daoran was surprised: "What happened to Miss Su? I didn't save her. I just came back from the mountains cutting wild meat."

"What?"

Su Chuanping was shocked: "You really didn't save him?"

"Master Su, I've said it all."

Chi Susu said helplessly: "It was a woman who saved Su Mei and sent her to the pharmacy to rest. My master went out early this morning and just came back..."

"Oh, so that's how it is..."

Su Chuanping looked confused.

“Master!”

At this time, several more disciples from the Su Family Martial Arts School walked into the medicine shop. One of them was Chi Haoran. He clasped his fists and said, "Someone just came back from the mountains and said that he found the Su Family Martial Arts School disciple token of our senior brother in a cave, with a pile of ashes beside it. They suspect that someone has plotted against our senior brother."

"ah?"

Su Chuanping staggered, cold sweat on his face. Too many things happened today. More than ten disciples were killed by monsters. He didn't know how to explain to their families. Later, Su Mei fainted in the mountains and was rescued. Now, his most proud disciple Zhong Liang died in the mountains...

There are too many things happening, and Lao Su needs to take it slow.

"father……"

At this time, Su Mei's voice came from the inner room. She looked a little haggard, which was a sign of waking up from the drug.

"Mei'er, you finally woke up!"

Su Chuanping was overjoyed: "How do you feel?"

Su Mei rubbed her temples: "My head hurts... I seem to remember something, but I can't remember it clearly..."

At this point, Su Mei suddenly burst into tears: "Dad, Senior Brother drugged me and wanted to harm me. Later, a senior rescued me, and then I fell into a coma..."

"What?!"

Su Chuanping looked incredulous: "Zhong... Zhong Liang has always been very honest, how could he... how could he do such a thing?"

Ning Daoran shook his head, somewhat speechless. Old Su was straightforward and his personality was too straight, without any curves at all. Of course, Zhong Liang's gentleness and kindness in front of you were just pretending. Did he have to stick out his tongue and make a perverted expression and say something like "Old Su, I've slept with your daughter" to make a true confession?

"Brother Ning..."

Su Mei looked at Ning Daoran, and suddenly, her face turned red: "I... I seemed to have dreamed of you while I was unconscious, you..."

"Miss Su, I'm glad you're okay."

Ning Daoran smiled and said, "So, what did you dream about me?"

"I……"

Su Mei was too embarrassed to say it, her face flushed, and she said, "Nothing... nothing, Dad, so many things happened in the martial arts hall today. I just heard that many disciples died. Why don't you go back to the martial arts hall quickly to prevent someone from causing trouble and destroying the martial arts hall."

“Yes, yes, yes!”

Su Chuanping immediately clasped his fists and said, "Brother Ning, we will go back to the martial arts hall first. We will come to thank you another day."

"Um."

Ning Daoran nodded and watched the people from the Su family martial arts school leave.

He felt a little uneasy, always feeling that things were not that simple.

…

That night, Ning Daoran stayed in the Lingpu Cave inside the medicine shop and refined his body with the twenty-two levels of the Eternal Green Art. This was a long process and he could not slack off.

The next morning.

The street outside was unexpectedly quiet. In the past, there would have been vendors beating drums and gongs to sell breakfast, but yesterday, even the night watchman didn't seem to come out all night.

“Swish!”

Ning Daoran walked out of Lingpu Cave and suddenly felt that the air was filled with gloomy things. It was like the feeling when a car with a badly aged air-conditioning filter is started and the air is filled with impurities, making it almost impossible to breathe.

"Squeak~~"

The moment he pushed open the door, he was even more shocked. Everything in front of him was pitch black. A criss-crossing, spider-web-like thing covered the door of the pharmacy. Clusters of black substances like spores appeared on the ground and walls outside. The entire Jicheng seemed to be occupied by some kind of living creature.

When his spiritual sense was released, Ning Daoran became even more shocked.

A black mushroom at least a thousand feet tall covered the entire Ji City!

The mushroom exuded extremely powerful vitality. From the top to the root, long black vines extended in all directions and covered the entire Ji city. At this time, ordinary people finally appeared on the streets.

A man holding a kitchen knife, with bloodshot eyes and a hunched body, lowered his head and chopped at the door of a house.

Black mycelium grew on his face and neck. The shape of the mycelium... looked very similar to many of the mushrooms on the mountain yesterday. They seemed to be the same species.

But it is too horrifying to see this kind of mycelium growing on human bodies.

“Woo woo…”

Another figure appeared at the street corner. It was an old man with bloodshot eyes and a hunched body, just like the zombies in the movies of the previous life, but his movements were more staggering. He walked towards the drugstore step by step, sobbing: "Help... Help..."

Ning Daoran frowned and used his spiritual sense to investigate. The old man was already terminally ill. His entire body was covered with hyphae and he no longer had any living flesh. He was beyond help. On the contrary, the fungi on his body must be contagious and would be extremely harmful to living people.

"I'm sorry, old man."

Ning Daoran raised his hand and used the Jianjia Sword Technique to cut off the old man's head. Then a stream of Samadhi True Fire shot out, burning the old man's body into a pile of ashes.

"Young Master..."

Looking at the scenes of half-dead people appearing on the streets outside, Chi Susu's face turned pale: "What is this? What happened..."

"close the door!"

Ning Daoran closed the door with a flick of his sleeves, and then set up more than a dozen formations and more than forty restrictions, completely isolating the front yard of the medicine shop from the entire Jicheng.

This matter is quite unusual and requires careful consideration.

He patted his storage bag lightly and said, "Come out, it's time for a meeting!"

Suddenly, Dabenlu, Xiaobai, Xiaoheizi, and Ning Xiaogui all came out.

Chi Susu was startled.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Ning Daoran comforted her: "Susu, it's okay, we are all family..."

"oh……"

Chi Susu nodded. She had only seen a few of them, but had never seen the black dragon and the turtle.

"Xiaobai, you are knowledgeable and experienced. Do you recognize what is outside?" Ning Daoran asked.

"My Lord, it could be a demon."

Xiaobai said softly, "When I was young, I saw a similar monster. It looked like a plant, but it actually had a very strong vitality and was extremely poisonous. It spread very quickly. Once the demonic energy occupied an area, it would turn the area into an environment with similar properties to itself."

She frowned. "My lord, you should have seen the black mushroom in the distance. That should be the real body. This thing took advantage of yesterday's gloomy rain to drop the magic poison, and then used the mushrooms on the mountain and the bloody mountain meat to continue to spread the magic poison. Today, these magic poisons have basically taken effect. Those who should be poisoned have been poisoned. The people of the entire Jicheng will become the flesh and blood of this monster."

"What now?"

Ning Daoran frowned: "Do you want to do it?"

"It's better not to."

Xiao Bai shook his head and said, "We still don't know where this monster comes from or what its characteristics are. Even if you have great cultivation, what will you do if you get poisoned by it? So I think we should observe and see how it changes, and then we can eliminate it after we have a better understanding of it."

Chi Susu said: "Sir, there are many innocent neighbors outside, and they may all be killed because of this disaster...Are we really not going to help them?"

"No."

Xiao Bai rejected it immediately, saying, "It's not worth sacrificing your entire life's cultivation just to save a few people's lives."

Xiao Heizi also shook his head: "No help!"

The Green Turtle said in a low voice: "If it is really dangerous, then of course I won't save it..."

“Ahhh~~”

The big stupid deer rubbed Ning Daoran's shoulder, indicating that he would listen to his elder brother.

Ning Daoran smiled and said, "Five to one, no help!"

He also felt that there was no need to save him. He was already in danger. It was difficult to save himself, let alone save others. ...

“Dongdongdong~~”

Soon after, a voice came from outside the door: "Brother Ning, help..."

It was Su Mei's voice.

"What's wrong?"

When Ning Daoran opened the formation, he saw Su Mei and Chi Haoran holding Su Chuanping on a door panel and standing outside.

She looked anxious. "Something big has happened in the city. We don't know what happened, but since last night, many disciples in the martial arts hall have been poisoned and have fungi growing on their bodies. In the morning, even Dad has fungi growing on his body. We really don't know what to do, so we wanted to come and see if Brother Ning has any solution."

"well……"

Ning Daoran felt helpless. Old Su had already been infected, and it was impossible not to save him now.

"Come in quickly."

After opening the door, he let Su Mei, Chi Haoran and several disciples from the Su family martial arts school in, and then opened the formation again to cover the entire store.

"Don't touch Lao Su."

Ning Daoran stretched out his hand and a wisp of Changqing Jue magic power surged out, wrapping Su Chuanping's body and sending him into the inner room. He then cast several prohibitions to seal him tightly to prevent the black spores from spreading through the air.

He used his spiritual sense to investigate and determined Su Chuanping's current condition.

As expected of a martial artist in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, Su Chuanping's body was indeed quite solid. After being poisoned, the fungi only grew near his chest and did not continue to spread, otherwise Su Chuanping would have died.

He used the Evergreen Technique to help stop the spread of the hyphae, but he had no idea how to remove them. He couldn't just burn Old Su to death, as that would be too unkind.

"You should stay in the pharmacy recently and don't go out. It will be a chaos outside." Ning Daoran said.

"Um!"

Su Mei nodded heavily.

…

A few days later, there was indeed chaos in the city.

This spore poison seemed to be selective. Most people were poisoned, but a few were not. For a time, a large number of bandits appeared in the city, looting homes and food everywhere. Jicheng was completely reduced to an isolated dead city, and countless people died on the streets! (End of this chapter)
