Chapter 177 The beginning and end of the plague, the water spirit
That guy is far more powerful than the one who linked the space system to enter the divine state.
Don't dare to look more
Bai Mo instantly turned into the river wind and rushed out at the fastest speed in his life.
When his magic energy was insufficient, he fell into the ground and used the patrol skill to fly across the land, as if the god of death was chasing him.
This time he was really asking for trouble!
What the hell is that guy!
Bai Mo was certain that all the monsters from Hongjiang and Daoshui were eaten by it, as well as the sub-monarchs who led the two tribes, including the two super-class wizards!
What kind of monster can’t be swallowed by such a huge whirlpool?
And the plague is probably related to that thing.
There is no evidence because it is just a coincidence.
The plague that suddenly appeared in Jiangcheng, the plague water monster that suddenly appeared in the waters near Jiangcheng, and this powerful creature that suddenly appeared!
The essence of what Dean Lin said about the plague being difficult to resolve!
If the plague originated from it, then isn't it normal that Dean Lin, who is a super-class healer, cannot cure it?
Only forces of the same level can compete with each other!
Until now, Bai Mo has not witnessed the full picture of that thing, but only the aura of the attack leaked at that moment.
In his perception, it was countless times stronger than the hollow willow that had become the monarch!
At the same time, in the dark river, a pair of huge eyes that were half clear and painful, half bloody and longing, were like a giant lamp in the darkness. They rotated once and then closed again.
It was not until he arrived outside of Lai'an Realm that Bai Mo appeared on the ground and slowly entered Jiangcheng. He let out a long breath.
I thought it was amazing to encounter an ordinary monarch during this investigation, but I never expected that I would meet an even more powerful guy.
Only after walking slowly from the suburbs to his own hotel in the city did Bai Mo's mood finally calm down completely.
However, when he saw Lingling and Ding Yumian standing at the entrance of the hotel, he was stunned again.
"Are you okay?"
Ding Yumian walked forward, the clouds of frown on his face dissipated, and he asked softly.
Shaking his head, Bai Mo glanced at her, closed his slightly open mouth, and looked at Lingling again, puzzled:
"Why are you all here?"
Lingling put down the milk tea in her hand and said, "I'm here to collect your body. I thought someone had died, but I didn't expect you to be still alive."
"Also, Sister Yumian is already my new teammate. Now you, Mo Fan, and Sister Yumian are all my teammates."
"So, you can justifiably not go to school?"
“That’s right!”
The corners of his mouth twitched, he was a little confused, why Lingling seemed to have grown a little crooked, how could she raise fish at such a young age.
'I'm like a fish in your lotus pond~'
"Why are you playing a song all of a sudden? And it only has one line." Lingling was puzzled, but after looking at Bai Mo's expression, she knew that he definitely had nothing good to say, so she changed her tone and said:
"You haven't told me how you came back alive."
"You cursed me to death just after we met. What did you know from those stone carvings?"
Bai Mo was speechless, but he also heard something strange in Lingling's words.
"Are you going to let me talk here?" Lingling looked around.
"Let's find a restaurant. I haven't eaten yet. Have you eaten yet?"
"have eaten."
"Eat some more with me."
Bai Mo took them directly to a restaurant and booked a private room. He asked the waiter to serve some Jiangzhou specialties, such as lotus root and pork ribs soup, steamed Wuchang fish, sweet potato vermicelli and shredded pork, etc.
I took a few bites to fill my stomach first, then looked across.
"You can tell me now, Lingling."
Lingling nodded. She was not hungry, so she did not move her chopsticks. She looked him up and down, and took out a few printouts of the photos that Bai Mo had sent him.
Without first explaining the information contained in these things, he asked:
"Have you been to Hongjiangshuiduan and Daoshui?"
"How do you know where I went?" Bai Mo was puzzled.
"I learned about your whereabouts through the traces of your bank card used in the Hunter Alliance, and took over the work of the hunter girl. With the information she provided you and these materials, it is easy to guess."
"It still has to be you."
"Hmph! Remember to take me with you next time!" Lingling raised her little head.
"Next time, for sure."
"So did you go to the Hongjiang River section and Daoshui?"
“Yes.”
"Then how did you come back alive without any injuries? You shouldn't be able to resist finding out the reason why those two tribes disappeared."
Ding Yumian, who was listening quietly, also raised his eyes and kept looking at him, as if judging his current state.
Bai Mo's face froze, "I have a space scroll."
"It seems to be a space scroll of high quality. Besides, that guy didn't really want to kill you. After all, a tiger won't use all its strength to fight a mosquito."
Lingling nodded slightly and then asked, "Have you seen the emperor?"
"What did you see! The Emperor! The King!!!"
Bai Mo couldn't help but raise his voice by an octave. He originally thought that it should be a creature similar to the totem black snake, but Lingling said it was an emperor!
"No no..will it?"
Bai Mo was a little unsure, because Lingling always had a purpose. But if it was really an emperor, wouldn't Jiangcheng be in danger? !
"It is, according to the information you provided me. He is called the Water Lord, or the Water Qilin."
"Yumian! Lingling! Why don't we leave quickly? It would be better to go back to the Magic City to find out what's going on."
Bai Mo stood up and felt that he was not very safe in Jiangcheng. He didn't know whether he could defeat the emperor in his divine state.
But even if they could do it, it would not be safe to keep the two of them here.
However, considering his current level of cultivation, he will most likely not be able to do it.
"The water qilin is a auspicious animal. Although it is a demon, it will not actively attack humans."
Lingling looked calm as she explained slowly, without any thought of leaving.
This Bai Mo, he didn't even invite her to such an exciting thing. The train is almost arriving at the station, and she won't see anything interesting if she gets on the train now.
Hearing this, and seeing that neither of them had any intention of leaving, Bai Mo sat down again, leaning back in his chair without caring about anything else, and asked directly.
"Then tell me, what's going on? How can we cure the curse?"
"Then let me talk about this inscription first."
Lingling pointed to the piece of paper covered with small seal characters.
“It probably tells one story.”
"It happened at the end of the Qin Dynasty, when a demonic turmoil broke out in Jiuzhou. In Jiangzhou, there was a plague demon that was about to enter the imperial realm, wreaking havoc and causing great suffering to all living beings. At that time, the water qilin was still the guardian beast of a human city, and a city would worship it for generations."
"The Water Kirin eliminated the Plague Demon, but he himself was inadvertently infected by the Plague Demon's curse and poison source, and became mentally ill. In order to avoid becoming a murderous monster, the Water Kirin sealed himself and decided to use time to wear away this power."
"Self-sealed? Did it escape on its own initiative? I don't think its brain is healed yet."
Bai Mo asked in surprise, resting his chin on his hand.
"The water qilin was probably in a weak state when it was fighting the plague monster. Because both of them seemed to be water beasts, the plague monster counterattacked before dying and directly melted its curse poison source along with the origin of water into the water qilin's body."
"This vicious and violent power is rejected by the Water Qilin's origin. Therefore, it affects the Water Qilin's mind and power at the same time. As a result, it is unable to seal itself."
"Therefore, the space seal you discovered was built by the human mages at that time in combination with the power of the Water Qilin itself."
"That's the sealed place!" Bai Mo nodded slightly, thinking back to what he had seen, it really looked like a seal.
"Then how did it escape? Was it controlled by the origin of the Plague Demon?"
“Probably not. Humans have placed pure water for many days where it was sealed. This is a high-quality water source from the ancient Yunmengze. Its greatest effect is purification.
I think it just woke up from a chaotic slumber, and its mind may be a little unclear because it absorbed part of the original power of the plague demon. In addition, it has been sealed for a thousand years, so it can easily come out. "
Lingling stated her conclusion and gave some basis for it.
"That space is located to the west of Jiangcheng, which is equivalent to the upper end of the long river. It is now to the east of Jiangcheng, at the lower end of the long river. It passed by Jiangcheng, but did not launch an attack."
"Even if that's the case, isn't the plague in Jiangcheng caused by it? How can we solve it?"
Bai Mo frowned, feeling that it would be better not to know.
“Although it’s hard to believe, it should just be caused by some cursed poison that it couldn’t control and emitted.
The poison of this curse is not very harmful, and it is difficult for a wizard to be infected. As for the water monsters that have been poisoned, apart from becoming crazy, their lives and health are basically not damaged. It can only be said that our human physique is too low, and we suffer this unexpected disaster.
In fact, according to my investigation, the plague has stopped spreading further since it passed Jiangcheng."
Lingling pulled up a table showing the dates of the spread of the plague. Sure enough, from half a month ago to now, the spread of the plague has stopped.
If it were an ordinary person, they would probably just think that the prevention and control measures were well done.
However, even if there is only a trace of the imperial curse poison, after being washed away by countless streams of water, its high-end nature cannot be isolated by control alone.
And from what Dean Lin said that day, it is relatively easy to prevent as long as you don't actively want to be infected.
Seeing him finish reading the form, Lingling continued:
"The inscription says that the Spirit Blood Grass can detoxify, but it can only be used to detoxify water unicorns. It's not certain whether it can be used on humans. And there is also a curse, which I don't know either."
Lingling's expression became solemn.
"But since the curse comes from the water qilin, the most effective way to remove the curse is to kill the creature that planted the curse. Without the support of the source, the power of the curse can be eliminated with just a healing spell or mental magic."
"Kill it!?"
Bai Mo was a little surprised. From the description, this water Qilin should be only a sub-emperor, and it had been sleeping for a thousand years, so it seemed that its strength had not recovered yet.
But even so, it is still an imperial creature!
To kill an emperor, Bai Mo didn't think that it was impossible with Jiuzhou's strength, but how to do it, where to fight, and who to fight?
"Don't worry about it. This is not something we can interfere with."
Lingling reminded him, but couldn't help but feel a little angry, "You experienced all the wonderful scenes in the beginning by yourself, and I am the one to wrap it up. It's really boring."
"Will the authorities really decide to kill the water qilin?"
Bai Mo asked to himself, he suddenly realized that there was a prerequisite for killing the emperor, that is, someone gave this order!
It's not that he didn't understand the filthiness of this world. Eradicating an emperor and a group of patients afflicted with plague would shut up everyone who knew about it.
Which of these two things is easier and which is more difficult?
After all, the plague is unlikely to spread in Jiangcheng anymore.
Perhaps this shouldn't be a question to be measured, but some people will measure it.
Lingling was silent, and Ding Yumian didn't say anything either. Finally, Lingling spoke:
"Based on the movement trajectory of the water qilin, it should want to go all the way down the long river. It is hard not to guarantee that other coastal cities will also experience the same situation as Jiangcheng. In order to prevent this from happening, I think it will happen."
Bai Mo remembered the bounty pool of the Jiangcheng Hunter Alliance for investigating the source of the plague. He had accepted this task, so he asked:
"Lingling, have I submitted my bounty pool mission?"
"not yet."
"I think I need to hide part of the situation and hand in the mission report and evidence."
There was a gleam in Bai Mo's eyes, and Lingling couldn't deny it.
"You can just tell them that the source of the plague comes from an extremely powerful supreme monarch-level creature, who may be in the Hongjiang River section now, and may be all the way down the river. Naturally, someone will go to investigate."
Lingling said: "I can't tell you where the space is sealed. I'm not the only one who can read small seal characters."
"You could say that." Bai Mo thought for a moment and said, "When I came out of that space, I had a feeling that it wouldn't last for a few days, at most three days, before it collapsed. When it collapses, we can provide some of the findings inside, such as the Spirit Blood Grass, or the fragments of words on this seal script."
"Then why not wait a few days?" Ding Yumian suddenly asked.
Bai Mo was stunned and looked at her. "So you can talk. You were silent just now. I thought you were a dumb person."
Rolling his eyes at him, Ding Yumian continued, "Maybe we can go to the space you mentioned and take a look."
"Good idea." Lingling agreed.
So the three of them came to the pit again. Familiar with the route, Bai Mo took them to the sealed place in the inner space again.
The mechanism of this space elevator was too old and could not accommodate three people, so they came in one by one.
As soon as Bai Mo came in, he saw Ding Yumian holding up the mental protection barrier and following Lingling around in the remaining half of the intact space.
"Well, I shouldn't have missed anything."
Lingling shook her head and pointed to the area opposite that had been occupied by space turbulence.
"There's none here, and I don't know where there is none."
"That's none of my business. It was pretty much like this when I came in."
Bai Mo shrugged, came to the stone carving full of words, pondered for a long time, and finally turned to look at Lingling.
"You think it would be better to destroy those places?"
"Just break off the top half of it."
Lingling glanced at the stone carving, but unfortunately she was not a historian and would not treasure it.
"Okay!" He nodded slightly, and the trembling space condensed on Bai Mo's palm. He waved his hand and lightly tapped the stone carving.
In an instant, the upper part of the stone carving, which was almost as tall as Lingling, cracked into countless pieces irregularly, and the broken stones fell into the pool filled with curses and toxins.
I'm afraid no one could have imagined that this pool of water was actually the source of top-grade water, the pure water.
After doing all this, Bai Mo patted his hands which were free of dust, and looked at the half-broken stone tablet. There was no treasure hidden inside.
"Come on, I'll take you out."
Ding Yumian and Lingling stood beside him silently.
The empty air was slightly colored, and three people appeared on the ground outside.
When we returned to Jiangcheng, it was already dark.
However, this did not affect Bai Mo's submission of the bonus pool task. In fact, the bonus in the pool was not much, and it could probably buy two soul seeds.
The ratio of reward provided by the government and family members is approximately one to one.
After the task is submitted, it still needs to wait for review and verification. Lingling has no plans to return to the Magic City for the time being, so Bai Mo booked a room for her alone.
As for Ding Yumian, of course she slept in the same room with him.
After they took a shower, Bai Mo started to act naughty.
"Did you miss me?"
Bai Mo fell on the girl's thighs. The thighs without cloth were so smooth and soft that he couldn't help but turn his head and rub them with his face.
Then he was held down by the girl who noticed his thoughts, and at the same time, a faint reply came down
"I did."
"Yumian's legs are so soft."
"Yeah." Ding Yumian's eyes moved from the book to him.
"I missed you, too."
"Aren't you tired? I heard you spent a month in Dongting Lake."
"I'm tired. I won't feel tired anymore if I lean on Yu Mian."
As he spoke, Bai Mo moved his head. Having fabric and not having fabric were two completely different feelings.
Watching the short video on the phone, it’s boring, so I’ll move on to the next one.
"Welcome to Into the Demons. Recently, a killer has suddenly appeared in the famous fierce lake Dongting Lizard Monster tribe! The dead are all in strange shapes. Hunter Xiaomei will reveal the secret for you."
Raising his eyebrows, Bai Mo suddenly sat up and rested his chin on her shoulder. The scent of shower gel and shampoo mixed in between his neck and hair flowed into his nostrils. Perhaps there was also body fragrance? It made him a little intoxicated.
Although Bai Mo didn't know whether body odor existed or not.
Look downward.
Oh, this book is so white.
Putting the phone in front of the two, Bai Mo said:
"Look!"
At this time, the reports have shifted to revealing Bai Mo's identity, and the person revealed is actually a young wizard hunter.
"I recognize him, Bai Mo from the Bai family in Demon City. He is not the legendary peerless demon descending on Dongting Lake at all."
Bai Mo ignored the commentary and pointed at several popular comments in the comment section.
"Look, everyone is praising me."
Ding Yumian glanced at him, and actually still had many doubts, but she knew that this person was invisible, so she nodded and made her comment.
“Narcissism.”
"You are narcissistic."
"I don't want to bother with you." Ding Yumian ignored him, took out his mobile phone, found this video, and liked the first few questioning comments.
Then he made a rare comment.
'Really? I don't believe it.'
“.”
Bai Mo silently put away his phone. His head felt heavier on his shoulders. He looked down, determined to take revenge.
The book is a bit dazzling, so he needs to read it for a while.
