Chapter 236: The Reappearance of the Corpse Demon (7)
Yue Qingya stood there thinking, but after less than half a minute he went upstairs: "I'm going to fight now."
Li Xiu asked in bewilderment, "Why not wait a little longer? If that's the case, wouldn't it be better to postpone it as long as possible?"
Xiao Lizi denied this practice: "No!"
Everyone looked over, and he looked solemn: "The air here is poisonous. Cultivators are restricted here. The longer we delay, the harder it will be to defeat them."
Daoist Yuan suddenly realized, "I said I didn't eat anything, but why am I feeling weaker and weaker, like I've been poisoned?"
Li Xiu's thoughts drifted to another direction: "Could it be that if a mortal breathes this air, he will become a corpse demon?"
"Not really, this is just auxiliary."
Tao Zi pondered for three seconds and made a decision immediately: "Li Xiu, you and Little Fox stay here, Brother Qing and I will go up."
Li suddenly felt insecure: "This..."
"You should study the antidote carefully. There are so many test subjects here."
He looked at the test subjects in confusion. Xiao Lizi said in surprise, "Are you a medical practitioner? That's great. I have the original prescription here. Take a look."
Fellow Daoist Yuan said bewilderedly, "The transformation of corpses into demons can't be reversed, right?"
Tao Zi looked at Li Xiu, who had become more energetic, and said, "Who knows? We have to give it a try."
"Indeed, the corpse demons here are unusual, and perhaps there is a possibility of recovery."
The two returned to the room. Yue Qingya recalled his clone and whispered, "If anything goes wrong later, just run away."
Tao Ziying responded decisively: "I know."
The two of them walked down the stairs cautiously and just happened to make eye contact with the waiter who was mopping the floor.
Waiter: ...
Both of them: ...
Just as Tao Zi was about to pull out the dagger, he put his hands on his hips and scolded, "Didn't you say you can't go out at night? What are you doing?"
Looking at the lively waiter, she silently put the dagger back and asked concisely, "Where is that demon cultivator?"
The waiter stared at them with wide eyes: "Shut up! Don't talk!"
She continued, "We're itching to fight, but where's he? He's a Yuanying, so he's not going to run away, is he?"
The waiter went berserk: "I told you to shut up, can't you hear me? Ahhhh, I'm so pissed!"
Tao Zi touched her nose, and Yue Qingya changed the subject: "Are you back to normal?"
He said depressedly: "I often have intermittent seizures, you just have to get used to it."
She looked at him in surprise and said, "That person actually kept you."
He gloated smugly, "I'm one of the rare mortals who still has some sense and is occasionally obedient."
Tao Zi accurately commented: "It's a test product with research value."
He shrugged. "Maybe. It's useful anyway. Besides, I'm no threat to them, so it's okay to keep me."
"Then you sweep the floor slowly, and we'll go out and look for someone."
The waiter was stunned: "You two, don't try to get yourself killed!"
Tao Zi remained indifferent and followed Yue Qingya out.
The waiter was anxious and shouted at the gate: "If you really get caught, just say you know Yu Niang, and they might keep you as a hostage!"
The sound echoed throughout the street and reached the ears of the master standing opposite them.
Tao Zi: "...What a coincidence."
Seeing this scene, the waiter immediately got scared and closed and locked the door, not forgetting to say: "I'm telling the truth, that old man, they really know Yu Niang."
The master looked at the locked door, snorted, and said, "If it weren't for the fact that you are still useful, I would have killed you long ago."
The waiter hid inside and said nothing. He turned to look at them and said, "I was kind enough to spare your lives, but you came to me on your own accord."
Yue Qingya said politely, "Fellow Daoist, would you like to spar with me?"
"court death!"
Tao Zi and Yue Qingya looked at each other and had a plan in mind.
The boss and others also rushed here quickly and watched the confrontation.
He shouted, "Kneel down and beg for mercy. I might be able to spare your lives!"
Tao Zi took out a dagger and attacked the boss without saying a word.
At the same time, Yue Qingya also attacked the master.
There was chaos on both sides, and the waiter was running around in a panic.
At the beginning, Yue Qingya was in a suppressed situation, but the longer it dragged on, the more rapid the master's movements became.
After he injured Yue Qingya, the master did not pursue him, but quickly retreated, pretending to be magnanimous and said: "The master has something to do today, I will come back to kill you in three days!"
Yue Qingya's expression changed and he wanted to catch up but it was too late. He disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Tao Zi frowned and looked at the boss and the others, and Yue Qingya also looked over.
A quarter of an hour later, a group of people were tied up and sitting on the ground. Tao Zi patted the boss on the shoulder and said, "In three days, your master will come to rescue you."
He lowered his head and said nothing. The waiter was shocked by his movements and opened the door carefully. After confirming that the master had really left, he ran over and said, "Miss, what should we do next?"
Tao Zi said two words succinctly: "Wait to die."
The waiter was stunned. Tao Zi said again, "Keep an eye on them."
"Don't! I'll have intermittent seizures!" The waiter ran over to them and stretched out his hand, saying, "Hurry and tie me up too."
At this time, some cultivators in the dark also came out. They looked at Yue Qingya with shining eyes and said, "True Lord, do you have a way to get out?"
Yue Qingya smiled helplessly, full of apology: "I can't find a way out either, sorry."
Their eyes dimmed, but they stayed nearby spontaneously and did not dare to disperse.
Tao Zi said, "Let's see, maybe there will be a lucky person tomorrow."
When they returned to the mud cave, Fellow Daoist Yuan was in a daze while Li Xiu was absorbed in his research.
The corpse demons looked at them with sparkling eyes: "Wow, Boss, they are not dead, great!"
Tao Zi recounted what had just happened.
Before Xiao Lizi could say anything, the corpse demon beside him jumped out.
Tao Zi followed them suspiciously, and saw the group of corpse demons jumping around on the boss and his men. "Bad guys, I told you not to threaten us! I'll crush you to death!"
A monk not far away, who wanted to take action but felt something was wrong, looked at the scene blankly. The accountant who followed him out coughed and said, "Come back quickly."
Someone hesitated and asked, "Daoist friend, what is this?"
Tao Zi sighed and said, "They are also victims, the same group of victims from the beginning. Although they are out of control, their IQ is not very good."
Those people suddenly realized what was going on, and one of the corpse demons shouted, "No, Yu Niang praised us as the smartest corpse demons in the world!"
The accountant curled his head in horror and went forward to catch them back.
Tao Zi said: "Everyone, please keep an eye on the people around you. No one knows who has been assimilated."
Everyone responded in unison, patiently waiting for dawn and the arrival of the next batch of lucky ones.
