Chapter 30: Flame Mountain Cocoon Man (3)
Li Yuanying had never encountered a sand puppet. This kind of monster only appeared in the Yanshan area. Although her father had taken her to exorcise monsters in the past, he had never been close to Yanshan.
It now seems that Qilang knows about the Sand Puppet, but he is unwilling to say it.
Li Yuanying didn't want to get entangled with him. If he didn't tell her, there was still one person she could ask, and that was Fifteen.
Li Yuanying got up, opened the door and was about to go out, but she found that her finger joints could no longer bend.
We can't drag this on any longer.
She pulled a prepared pill from her pocket and swallowed it. She first felt a cramp in her abdomen, and then heat spread from her stomach and permeated every part of her body.
The pain turned into heat, filling Li Yuanying's body and then raging in her blood.
Li Yuanying's forehead was covered in sweat, but she remained calm on the surface. She continued to walk out to look for Shiwu.
Fifteen stayed obediently by his mother's bedside. The village chief and the villagers had not returned yet.
"Fifteen, I have something to ask of you. Can you help me take care of the brother who came with me? He was poisoned by the Sand Puppet and now has a high fever."
After hearing this, Fifteen was so frightened that he shook his head. "They've been poisoned! The village chief said they need to be dragged out and burned! Drag them out and burn them!"
Li Yuanying didn't expect that her words would cause such a big fluctuation.
"Why drag it out and burn it? Has anyone in the village grown this poison before?"
“
The green rabbit is sick, look at the black rabbit.
The green rabbit died and the white rabbit laughed.
The green rabbit is alive and the red rabbit is calling.
”
Fifteen began to recite a strange nursery rhyme.
She walked forward while chanting, "Sister, the green rabbit is really scary, don't save him!!"
Li Yuanying frowned: "What do you mean by green rabbit?"
"A green rabbit is a green rabbit! You can't eat a green rabbit. You really can't eat it..." Fifteen said, shaking his head, "You'll die if you eat a green rabbit!"
Li Yuanying grabbed Fifteen and said, "Fifteen, just tell me how to save that brother, and I will definitely heal your mother."
When the child heard the word "mom", she hesitated.
"But... Mom will be angry..."
"No, as long as you tell me, your mother will get better and will never be sick again."
When Fifteen heard this, he suddenly became happy.
"The green rabbit needs the black rabbit's blood to heal." Fifteen said this inexplicably.
"What is a black rabbit?"
"The black rabbit... the black rabbit is..." Fifteen said this and ran away in fear. She hid in the corner, trembling. "Sister, I really can't say any more. I can't say any more."
Just when Li Yuanying wanted to continue asking, she suddenly felt a chill coming from behind her.
A green demonic aura lingered from her back, and she immediately stopped moving.
Immediately afterwards, a huge face appeared on Li Yuanying's left. This face looked very much like a wolf. The wolf's fur was dark and cold, its teeth were extremely sharp, and a fishy smell emanated from its mouth.
The wolf seemed to have had its eyes injured. It did not notice Li Yuanying, but sniffed left and right. A strong green demonic aura emanated from every pore of its body.
Li Yuanying immediately covered her mouth to prevent her breath from leaking out.
The wolf's head was only ten centimeters away from Li Yuanying, and he was constantly exploring the direction and scent of his prey.
“Rabbit…rabbit…”
A strange sound came from the wolf's throat, but it could be barely made out that it was saying the word "rabbit".
It is looking for its prey.
Suddenly, the wolf stopped moving, and its saliva began to flow out from the corners of its mouth, dripping onto the ground with a clicking sound.
"Red rabbit... I want to eat red rabbit..."
The wolf squeezed out these words from his throat.
Li Yuanying secretly cried out in alarm, and sure enough, a gust of evil wind blew, and the wolf's sharp claws slashed towards her.
Li Yuanying decisively drew out the Frost Embers, and with a flash of sword and flint, fire splashed in the room. She and the wolf demon had exchanged three moves in an instant.
Due to the effect of the elixir, she shouldn't use her true energy. A fishy and sweet taste spurted out of her mouth, and blood flowed from the corner of Li Yuanying's mouth.
The delicious smell of blood filled the entire room, and the wolf demon became even more excited.
Li Yuanying's three moves had already damaged his internal organs.
This wolf demon is a spirit that is good at violence. It seems that all the monsters in this area should be under his control.
Li Yuanying's spells are of the purification type, which are most effective against puppets and spirits, but for spirits that use power, she can only use her swordsmanship to fight against them.
If Zhang Qingchen had not fallen, the two of them, brother and sister, might have been able to fight this spirit to a draw, but now that Zhang Qingchen had fallen, Li Yuanying knew that she was probably no match for him.
The wolf demon was about to launch a second attack. Due to the side effects of the elixir, her breath became even weaker, and this time it was really tricky.
The wolf demon suddenly rushed in front of Li Yuanying like lightning. Its sharp teeth were right in front of her. Li Yuanying couldn't dodge in time and could only quickly use frost embers to block the wolf's teeth.
If she hadn't taken that pill, she might not be in such a miserable state now.
The wolf demon was extremely powerful, and Li Yuanying was about to collapse.
At this time, Li Yuanying heard the sound of a silver bell.
Then a silver light flashed, and a cold murderous aura attacked from behind the wolf demon. Although the wolf demon was huge, it was extremely flexible and it dodged the attack from behind in an instant.
Li Yuanying saw a beautiful silver umbrella rushing towards her, and then it suddenly stopped in front of her, with only the bell swaying slightly.
She looked in the direction the umbrella came from and saw the young man in white standing not far from her.
"I thought you wouldn't..." Li Yuanying stopped talking halfway.
"What can't I do?" Qilang walked to Li Yuanying and picked up the silver umbrella. His eyes were deep and his voice was cold.
"Nothing." Li Yuanying still felt depressed.
"I won't save him, but you..." Qilang didn't finish his words, he flew towards the wolf demon.
Although Qilang looks thin, he can always crush the wolf demon. When he fought with the charm demon from Shengle Township before, he was at a disadvantage because his magic power was sealed, but this time when he competed with the wolf demon in strength, he was not defeated at all.
Li Yuanying had never seen Qilang fight like this. When Qilang and the wolf demon fought, there was no set pattern to follow, but rather it was like two wild beasts fighting for territory.
Seeing that he was no match for Qilang, the wolf demon found an opportunity and quickly slipped away.
At this moment, Li Yuanying felt her chest being twisted by two forces, one cold and the other hot. Her heart seemed to be about to explode. She lost her balance and her eyes went black as she fell backwards.
But she didn't hit the solid ground, but a warm embrace.
It was a familiar warmth that continuously gave her strength.
The two forces in her chest grew quieter, and her pain gradually dissipated.
The last time she took a poisonous pill was during the Black Water Battle.
The war lasted too long and had reached Li Yuanying's limit, so she had to take pills that day to fight the cold.
That is, when she was dealing with a big monster, her cold symptoms suddenly flared up.
At that time, a young man saved him. He hugged Li Yuanying, and a mysterious power emanating from his body could heal Li Yuanying.
Li Yuanying was in so much pain that she couldn't speak, but when the boy held her hand, it seemed as if the whole world was quiet.
Whether they are monsters or humans, they are all outside the world and no longer disturb Li Yuanying and Qilang.
When Li Yuanying felt better, the boy ran away quickly without even leaving his name.
"Qillian... have you saved me before..." Li Yuanying asked.
Qilang didn't say anything, he just looked at Li Yuanying calmly. Yes, it was him.
She was as beautiful as she is now, like a snowflake falling from the sky. Qilang couldn't bear to see her melt, so he rushed into the crowd and saved her.
Even though they are enemies...
"May I have your name?"
The girl in front of him asked the same question as before.
He wanted to tell her, but he couldn't.
In the demon race, real names are the only weakness, but if you find someone to spend your life with, you will need to exchange names.
He couldn't say it, because his life was not just his own, he was the hope of his people.
"Can't you tell me?" Li Yuanying continued to ask. Li Yuanying knew that the king of demons was evil. She had tested Qilang many times, but he refused to tell her. This was almost certain.
In other words, it was the Demon King who saved her before. If that was the case, her next plan would go smoothly.
"Maybe one day I will tell you, but not now." Qilang had no choice but to answer.
Li Yuanying stopped asking, knowing Qilang wouldn't say anything more. However, she had to know Qilang's real name, otherwise, some things would be impossible to do.
She doesn't have much time left.
Qilang looked at the woman in front of him. She seemed a little sad. In fact, if she didn't know his name, he would also protect her.
Just when Qilang was about to say something, a group of people came in at the door.
"what happens?"
Li Yuanying heard a group of people coming in from outside. They looked at the dilapidated house and asked in shock and anger.
"Village chief!" Fifteen, who was hiding in the corner, shouted loudly and threw himself into the arms of the person who came in.
The person who walked into the room was a man in his fifties, half of his hair was white, his skin was dark, and he was very thin.
"Who are you?" The village chief quickly discovered Li Yuanying and his group.
"We are the Guardians of the Ming Dynasty sent by the imperial court to investigate the matter of the Polar Cold Lotus." Li Yuanying knew that this place was under the protection of the imperial court, and it should be easier to get things done if she reported this name.
Sure enough, the village chief's expression relaxed a little, and the dozen or so strong men following him also relaxed their alert state.
"So it's the Shouming Guard, but I've never heard of any women in the Shouming Guard."
"Commander Zhang is injured and is resting in the west room. Please, village chief, please help take a look."
When the village chief heard this, his eyes lit up: "Commander Zhang is here too? Then I have to see for myself."
After saying that, he hurried to where Zhang Qingchen was. When the village chief checked Zhang Qingchen's injuries, his face turned ugly.
"Village Chief, how is my senior brother doing?"
"Green rabbit! Green rabbit!" Fifteen shouted in fear beside him.
The village chief looked very unhappy.
"Commander Zhang has been poisoned by the Sand Puppet. The only antidote is the wolf demon's gallbladder. If you don't get it before sunset tomorrow, you'll die."
"Then let's go and get the wolf demon's gall!" Li Yuanying said immediately.
The village chief glanced at Li Yuanying with some embarrassment and asked, "Did a wolf demon come here just now?"
"yes."
"We've been chasing this lone wolf demon all the way. We wanted to enter the village to encircle and suppress it, but it actually ran away. We were wondering what happened in the village when we saw you. If this wolf demon escapes, it will definitely return to the wolf pack, and then it will be difficult to catch it."
