Chapter 24
Before a few sticks of incense——
The monster with a veil on its head and whose face could not be seen was stroking the fur of the panda in its arms. The panda was so comfortable that its eyes narrowed, its belly exposed, and it was snoring.
This was the scene Jiang Yibai saw when he walked over.
He didn't know that Yu Tai had gone to help, but he saw some sweet fruits on the way and picked out the best ones to give to her.
Yu Tai wasn't here, he should have turned around and left.
But for some unknown reason, he still walked over, staring at the monster that made him very uncomfortable.
Sensing his arrival, the two monsters raised their heads at the same time.
The black and white one stretched out its claws towards him and bared its teeth threateningly, as if warning him not to get close.
Jiang Yibai didn't care and stood not far away: "Can you speak?"
During the past few days of getting along, he could clearly feel that the intelligence of this monster was not low. Once, it even gave Yu Tai barbecued meat. It would be too suspicious if it couldn't speak.
Hearing Jiang Yibai's words, Shu Li slowly picked up Xia Mo from his body, stood up and walked towards his seat.
It was very strange. There was no murderous aura from this monster, and its footsteps were even as heavy as a mortal's. But when it walked towards Jiang Yibai—
Each step seemed to step on his heart, causing him to feel panic and fear for no reason, and even a faint sense of unrest somewhere in his body.
Jiang Yibai, the latest rising genius of Qingshan Sword Sect, seemed to be nailed to the spot, unable to move.
It was not until the other party walked in front of him that Jiang Yibai realized that this seemingly thin monster was actually several inches taller than him. He found that he had to tilt his head back to look directly at the other party.
This feeling of oppression made him vaguely recall his senior brother Shu Li, the true son of genius and darling of heaven who colluded with the demonic cultivators and became a devil.
The slender jade-like hand had been placed on the lower part of his chest, which was the center of Daogen.
Jiang Yibai didn't know what he remembered. His face turned as pale as a dead person, his pupils began to dilate, and sweat appeared on his forehead.
The person in front of him suddenly chuckled.
It was clearly just a short syllable, but Jiang Yibai sensed a mockery in it. He immediately came to his senses and became furious. He reached out and grabbed the hand on his chest and shook it away.
But he didn't expect the person in front of him to be so weak. With just ordinary force, he heard a very clear "crack" sound, and then the person fell to the ground.
In the few seconds he was stunned, the girl's voice suddenly came from behind him, mixed with concern and anger.
The memories stop here.
Jiang Yibai found the clerk and asked a question.
"Will humanoid monsters be as fragile as mortals?"
Although the clerk didn't understand why he suddenly asked such a question, seeing the other party's bad expression, he didn't ask any more questions and only replied: "Impossible, even the lowest-level rat demon is not comparable to humans after transforming, or -"
"There's simply no comparison between the two."
...
The sky was filled with thunder and lightning, and the sky was covered with dark clouds, with almost no light shining through.
Yu Tai knew that a rainstorm was coming.
I wonder how many people or other lives will be taken away by this natural disaster.
He took Shu Li to the shelter they had built.
If it were a few days ago, the space in the house would not be enough, but after experiencing these hellish days, almost half of the disciples of Qingshan Sword Sect were killed.
This amount of space is more than enough.
Yu Tai was prepared to spend several days here. She sat cross-legged and listened to the increasingly loud noise outside.
Xia Mo, who had been quietly nestling between Yu Tai and Shu Li since he came in, suddenly let out a painful moan.
Yu Tai looked at it and felt a tightness in his heart.
The panda, which was fine just now, was now lying on the ground with a listless look. A trace of black blood was flowing out of its mouth, and its limbs were twitching slightly.
Shu Li also noticed its appearance and was about to speak when Yu Tai suddenly said, "Senior Sister Li, my demon beast seems to be feeling a little unwell. Can you come and take a look?"
Senior Sister Li is a disciple of Yaoshan Peak and can be said to be the only nanny in this team. She came over after hearing this.
But after just one look, he took several steps back in fear, shouting in shock: "Black plague! This poison is contagious!"
Her words caused quite a stir.
"Junior Sister! Stay away from that monster! The poison in its body is contagious, and even many cultivators have died from the infection!"
"The Black Plague poison is hidden in the Black Plague Fruit. This fruit smells and tastes just like any other fruit, but its toxicity is only activated after consumption. And within a stick of time, it will spread rapidly! It completely disappeared after an outbreak a hundred years ago. I never thought it would appear in this small secret realm!"
After Senior Sister Li finished speaking, Yu Tai realized the seriousness of the matter.
This plot does not exist at all in the original book.
The several monks who were originally meditating and resting in the house had all stood up, standing not far away with a vigilant look on their faces, looking at Xia Mo with fear in their eyes.
Xia Mo, with a painful look on his face, seemed to have heard these words as well. He was struggling to crawl to the side, as if he wanted to get away from the two of them. However, he was too weak. After just a slight movement, he fell powerlessly to the ground, unable to move.
Shu Li watched its movements and leaned over to pick it up.
Jiang Yibai spoke up at this time: "Junior sister, throw it out."
"This monster is very powerful, but unfortunately, the black plague poison is impossible to cure. If you are infected, you will die. After we get out, I will find you a better one as compensation."
Yu Tai stood up, took Xia Mo, whose limbs were twitching, from Shu Li's arms, and touched its head.
Seeing this, Shu Li also stood up.
"Sorry to scare you. We'll leave immediately."
She took a step forward, and several people moved to the side. Jiang Yibai couldn't help but take a step forward: "Junior Sister! No! I don't agree! It's going to rain outside soon! The rainstorm here is different from the rain outside. It can be fatal! How can you sacrifice yourself for a monster!?"
Yu Tai said expressionlessly, "I can't stay here any longer and burden you. I'm not sacrificing myself for a monster. I just want to find a place to treat it."
"If you get sick, you can treat it. What's the problem with that?"
When Xia Mo, who was in her arms, heard these words, his eyes became wet with pain and he cried out, as if telling Yu Tai not to bother him.
Yu Tai patted its head and said softly, "Don't be afraid."
Jiang Yibai was going crazy: "Junior Sister, do you understand what Junior Sister Li said? This poison is not only contagious, but also almost incurable!"
"Senior Brother Jiang also said it was 'almost'." Yu Tai sighed.
After saying that, he turned his head to signal Shu Li to follow him and walked towards the outside where the wind was howling.
How could Jiang Yibai just watch her die? He wanted to follow her immediately.
But he was so anxious that he ignored what was behind him.
Taking over Jiang Yibai's limp body, the clerk sighed.
The face of the Qingshan Sword Sect, the eldest senior brother, and the little junior sister who is just a vase.
They still know the trade-offs involved.
I just don’t know what kind of out-of-control situation will be when he wakes up.
