Chapter 102: Heart in Hand
After repeated attempts, she discovered that it had been protecting her left wrist intentionally or unintentionally.
If I'm not mistaken, that's where the magic core is.
Tao Zi deliberately exposed a flaw to lure it to attack with its left hand.
The moment its left wrist was grasped, it reacted quite violently, and even the attacks of the surrounding corpse demons became faster.
She withstood the attacks and focused on channeling spiritual energy into the inn waiter's meridians.
It howled in pain and attacked more fiercely.
After destroying Xiao Er's meridians in disguise, the spiritual energy finally reached the magic core.
Tao Zi's expression suddenly changed. There was a faint trace of spiritual energy near the magic core. It was trying hard to fight against the evil energy and even wanted to enter the magic core.
As if possessed by a mysterious force, she wrapped it with her own spiritual energy and rushed to the magic core.
The spiritual energy swam happily into the magic core like a child returning home, and the magic core, which had always been incompatible with the spiritual energy, accepted it without resistance.
The next moment, the corpse demons around stopped attacking and stood still.
She seemed to sense something and looked at the face of the inn waiter.
He looked dazed, but the haze in his eyes dissipated and he regained his clarity.
Tao Zi said slowly: "Awake?"
Hearing this familiar voice, the innkeeper grabbed her sleeve and asked in a trembling voice, "The girl from Master Han of Yisan Sect?"
She didn't answer this.
He said anxiously, "The plague in Xile Town was brought by me. My heart is the antidote. Kill me now!"
Tao Zi continued to ask: "Where is Yu Niang?"
"The young lady escaped, those people are crazy!"
"Those people?"
The inn waiter said with hatred: "Xujiamen, there are a group of lunatics hiding in there!"
Tao Zi frowned. She knew that there were many crazy people in Xujiamen, but she didn't expect that they would be so bold as to have anything to do with the devil.
She wanted to ask a few more questions, but the waiter's eyes turned dirty again.
She no longer hesitated, her fingers lengthened, and before he could attack, she pulled out the completely black heart.
The heart was still beating in her hand. The inn waiter fell straight down, and the corpses also fell to the ground, their bodies shattered.
She looked at the lifeless inn waiter, and the doubts in her heart could not be dispelled.
The inn waiter was an ordinary person before he was possessed by a demon, but he was able to turn into a source demon. This strange thing reminded her of Yu Niang's corpse demon - it was obviously low-level but could retain the temperament of a living person.
Perhaps, the way he became possessed by the devil is similar to those corpse demons?
Tao Zi thought for a while but couldn't get a clear answer, so she threw away the messy thoughts in her mind and squatted down to deal with the body.
Not long after, someone came in.
"Miss Tao, are you still alive?"
Li Xiu and his good friends rushed over in a hurry.
Tao Zi turned around and said, "Don't worry, he's not dead."
"That's good." Li Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, but her eyes involuntarily turned to her hand, or to be more precise, to the black heart in her hand.
She explained concisely: "Antidote."
Li Xiu's friend cast his gaze on the inn waiter lying on the ground and asked hesitantly, "What about the source corpse demon?"
"This." She pointed at the waiter calmly.
The two men looked at the face that was scratched to pieces and fell silent at the same time.
Why does this look a bit like destroying the body? Or, more figuratively, using someone else's body as a substitute?
Li Xiu's friend asked cautiously, "Is this really the source corpse demon?"
"Question me?"
Li Xiu immediately covered her friend's mouth and shook her head frantically: "No, not really. I just hope Miss Tao will be careful."
Tao Zi raised her eyebrows.
"I heard that some demons can still survive even if their hearts are taken out."
She looked at the waiter and said, "This source demon is not that powerful."
"That's good." Li Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and said seriously, "Then I'll go and take Mo away."
He walked over and squatted down.
Tao Zi heard a hissing sound and turned around to see that the waiter's face was completely rotten.
Li Xiu took back the bottle in her hand as if nothing had happened and said, "It looks more natural this way."
The friend looked at his friend's actions in confusion, and after a while he suddenly realized that if those medical practitioners became suspicious, things would be more troublesome.
If Li Xiu knew what he was thinking, she would definitely be very disappointed. Is this a troublesome question?
Seeing Tao Zi say what she wanted to say when she returned, he breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that Miss Tao did not want to kill them because of their suspicions just now.
The three rushed back with several corpses.
After quietly returning to the town, Tao Zi split the heart in two right in front of them and handed them a note, saying, "Take half of the heart back with you, and then deliver the herbs on this note to my residence. By the way, this is also the prescription I promised you."
The next sentence she said was directed to Li Xiu's friend.
Tao Zi hurried back.
She felt the familiar pain in her body and forced herself to speak: "Zhao Xue, open the door."
Zhao Xue hurriedly opened the door and his senior sister fell in.
The three of them were frightened and hurriedly sent her to the inner room.
Xi Jing asked somewhat helplessly, "Second Brother, what should we do?"
"Maybe the poison has taken effect. We just need to keep watch." Han Yueshan looked around and whispered, "The situation is unclear right now. We must not let anyone find out about this."
They both nodded.
While he was waiting, Li Xiu hurriedly brought the herbs over. To prevent him from getting suspicious, Han Yueshan calmly opened the door, took the herbs in, and said, "Senior Sister, don't let anyone disturb you."
Li Xiu nodded and said, "I understand, but Senior Liang's apprentice can't hold on any longer, and things are... a little urgent over there."
He turned his head quickly and said seriously: "Can't the good doctor try to do it himself?"
Li Xiu shook her head: "They are developing a prescription for mortals over there."
"I see."
Han Yueshan sent Li Xiu away, and his fellow apprentices all breathed a sigh of relief. Zhao Xue asked, "Brother, do you know what he's talking about?"
He wiped his face and said guiltily: "I don't even know what I'm saying."
Xi Jing was shocked: "You said so much."
"It's all thanks to Mian."
He guessed that they might have been infected, and his senior sister was looking for an antidote for them. Judging from the situation that day, the little one might have been infected as well.
Obviously, he guessed right.
These days are really hard.
He lay on the bed in depression. His junior apprentice squatted beside him and said sadly, "This is nothing like the escape I had in mind."
"I thought it would be cool and effortless, but the stories are all lies."
The two brothers looked at each other and sighed.
Li Xiu was walking on the street at that time, with a slightly playful look on his face.
Miss Tao's avoidance can be said to be due to her heart research, but why was it the injured person who greeted the visitor instead of the other two junior brothers and sisters?
There seems to be only one answer - Miss Tao had an accident, and the only option was to let the injured person who could handle the situation to welcome the guests.
