There was no unnecessary nonsense this time. I drew the Hidden Evil Knife on my back and rushed forward to face the eight raised knives. The opponent didn't expect that I didn't show any fear, but soon his expression became ferocious and he waved the eight knives around like performing acrobatics. I went straight forward and heard a strong wind from the left. I immediately swung my knife to block it. With a bang, the knife that was coming towards me was cut in half like mud.
He was stunned for several seconds. At the same time, I moved closer, dodged left and right, chopped up and down, and attacked in turns. I broke all the blades one by one. It was just like cutting vegetables. By the time that guy reacted, his neck was left with a scar the size of a bowl. Not long after, his whole head fell off.
After he fell down, Su Yuexi called the scarecrows and knight statues to drag his body outside, probably intending to dismember him and take out his spine to kill him completely. The scene was not suitable for children, so it was not done in the house. Many other scarecrows also came over with mops and started to wipe off the blood.
Soon the knight statue walked in, holding the bloody extracted spine in its hand, of course it was still connected to other parts, and one could clearly see a black-green substance growing rapidly on the spine, but other tissue structures could not provide support, and it broke off halfway through its growth.
"This is a thing called evil moss. It grows at the very deep bottom of the sea. I heard that it is formed by the wronged souls and resentment in the seabed. Once it entangles the human body, it will alienate the tissues, allowing them to fully parasitize it. I remember there is a sea area nearby. A long time ago, many cruise ships passed by there and were buried there. That area is also called the Sea of the Dead. I had an accident there on a ship before, but I was lucky to survive. There are so many wronged souls and dead below that the sunlight cannot penetrate through a layer of fog every day. I guess the evil moss was discovered from there." Su Yuexi said.
"Evil ringworm? So, everyone is infected with that stuff now? But why is it that the octopus man just now and the masked man I met before, they seem to enjoy the abilities increased by this thing, and seem to be particularly good at controlling the alienated tissue cells? After all, you said that kind of thing will alienate all the body's obstacles and achieve its parasitic purpose?" I asked.
"Yes, that's because they have found a way to suppress the toxicity. If used properly, they can achieve the effect of control. So it is equivalent to using these things to arbitrarily transform and alienate their own tissues in the body, as long as they are controlled properly." Su Yuexi said.
"Oh my god, I've heard of people who train animals, horses, bees, and even poisonous insects, but this is the first time I've heard of people who raise viruses. It's really weird." I couldn't help but say.
Su Yuexi smiled and said, "Yes, but when we meet weird people, we should adapt to them, so that we can defeat them."
"Okay, so what should we do now? How can we help Yunwen and Bailu get some relief?" I asked.
"There is only one thing that can do it, and that is this." Su Yuexi took out a dogtail grass from his pocket.
I was stunned. Such a scary thing is afraid of foxtail grass? It's that simple?
"The way of the Tao is simple. The more complicated things are, the more afraid they are of simple things. All things are interdependent and mutually exclusive. Although dogtail grass is an ordinary thing, it grows freely beside swamps and lakes. It is the most capable of resisting the growth of this kind of yin energy. Therefore, it is not surprising that dogtail grass can detoxify this poison." Ling Shang said.
"It's not a solution, it's a relief. It's just suppression. Once this poison enters the body, it will only grow infinitely and will not be eliminated. Therefore, all we can do is suppress it. It cannot be completely eradicated." Su Yuexi said.
"Well, never mind. It's good enough that the symptoms can be relieved. As for how to eradicate it, let's wait until Yunwen and Bailu wake up, and then the four of us will have a good discussion together. Maybe we can gain new insights." I said.
So Su Yuexi stood up and came to Yunwen's side. She first used dogtail grass to sweep around the purple-black part of her meridians. The bulging blue veins suddenly began to subside. As the movement slowly progressed, the black blue veins not only eliminated the bulge symptoms, but also began to return to blood color. The purple-black color seemed to be guided by a force, slowly advancing towards a certain part, and pushing towards Yunwen's arm. It was magical.
"Brother Zhou Bo, I may need your help. I don't dare to do it because Yunwen is your wife. I dare not do that. Please prick her finger so I can sweep out the virus." She said.
"Okay." I replied.
Then I stepped forward and whispered something in Yunwen's ear. She looked at me weakly, but her pitiful eyes were staring at me. She blinked gently, indicating her consent for what I was going to do next.
Next, I pricked her finger, and guided by the foxtail grass, a pool of dark green blood began to flow out. When it dripped onto the ground, it looked like there were crawling worms in it, which was extremely disgusting.
No wonder that long ago, the way to treat the Black Death was bloodletting, and the way we treat this infectious disease now is similar. At least the principle is the same, except that the blood-letting method has an extra step.
After the blood began to be purified, Yunwen's limp feeling soon disappeared. She stood up, panting. I was sitting next to her at this time. She immediately stood up, leaned on me, and said, "That's great. I thought I was going to become a monster! When I thought about becoming a monster, you would definitely not want me anymore. I was very, very scared."
I stroked her face, hugged her shoulders tightly, patted her gently to comfort her, and couldn't help but laugh in my heart. She was thinking about the fact that I dumped her instead of thinking that she might die. This girl's thinking is somewhat different from that of men.
Afterwards, Su Yuexi helped everyone do bloodletting. Since it was only a day, the organ abnormalities caused by the thing were not particularly serious, so after it was controlled, almost everyone was able to move again. However, after discussion, they still could not leave the castle because the source of the infection was still in the body. It was only temporarily suppressed, but if it spread and infected the entire island, no amount of dogtail grass would be enough.
Furthermore, the effect of dogtail grass is not that effective. It has to be picked and will take effect within 24 minutes. If it is left for too long, the aura of the plant will disappear and it will be useless.
Fortunately, Yunwen and Bailu also woke up, so the next meal was settled. After Bailu woke up, she was also excited for a long time, and then went to the kitchen to cook. Lingshang relied on the effect of the magic potion in her body, and her wounds healed relatively quickly, and she recovered not long after. We went to the dining table and began to discuss the next arrangements.
After everyone has temporarily detoxified, the effect of suppressing recurrence will last for about six hours. Therefore, within these six hours, we must find a place with no living things and dogtail grass, and it must be a place that cannot be discovered by the Black Mountain Cave forces.
"There is one thing I want to tell you all about what happened before I was attacked." Yunwen said.
“Before the attack?” I asked.
"Yes, that day Zhou Bo, you were still at your residence in Bailu, Xidao. I was planning to write you a letter and was still staying in my office in a cave on the hillside. Suddenly, I saw a man who said he wanted to see me. I saw that he looked strange and was wearing a mask, so I told him that it was not convenient for me to receive VIPs at the moment and asked him to wait until you came back. In addition, I said that I could record his visit so that it would be convenient for me to make an appointment to meet you next time." She said.
"Mask? Another mask," I said.
"Yes, he is thin but very tall, like a walking skeleton. When he heard that you were not there, he said that you could not come back because he would replace you next. He also said that the strong are respected and that from now on, no matter whether it is the east, west, south or north island, everyone will listen to him. He also said something very scary. He said that he planned to create all the creatures on this island into a new species and make them his slaves." Yunwen said.
"Thin body? Extra tall? It's indeed him, Cheng Feng!" Su Yuexi said.
My eyes widened immediately, and I suddenly remembered that he still had two magic stones in his hand. Creating new species? Is there any connection between the two?
