Volume 3: Summoning Demons Chapter 16: Self-destructive Disease
The blood fell on a person who was nearby. The person wailed and fell to the ground. His breath weakened rapidly, as if he was terminally ill.
At the same time, the man exhaled some bloody breath while wailing. Some people around him gathered around, smelled it, and then they couldn't help coughing and felt itchy and painful in their throats.
"Be careful, it's poisonous, don't get close!" Captain Xia said immediately, while observing the wellhead over there.
"I have the ability to heal, I'll go." At this moment, Lu Bai's eyes lit up, and he felt the death in his body stirring.
Birth, aging, sickness and death is a process of gradual withering.
Lu Bai needs to collect the energy of birth, aging, sickness and death. Before he truly "enchants" his own power, Lu Bai positions himself as a doctor.
Captain Xia nodded and didn't care much.
Prefect Liang sent Lu Bai here and gave him the task of checking his quality, but he did not really regard Lu Bai as an indispensable fighting force.
Lu Bai came to the man's side, grabbed his hand, and injected his own internal force into it.
This burst of internal force made the other party feel a little more energetic, but it did not have much effect.
But the key point comes next. The [Absorb] and [Return] modules in the skill work at the same time.
After the internal force injected by Lu Bai circulated once, it returned with a large amount of aura related to withering.
"The quality is very high." Lu Bai felt the breath that should be called epidemic disease, and he felt full of satisfaction.
Lu Bai had some guesses when he heard that people who drank large amounts of spiritual spring water died suddenly from various diseases.
The evil power behind this spiritual spring water may be related to the "epidemic".
After all, the evil spirit had people collect all kinds of corpses dug out from the graves. Those corpses that had begun to rot were carrying all kinds of diseases.
Maybe the evil spirit's purpose was to cause this epidemic?
Now it seems that the guess was correct. The blood spurted out by the other party contained a strong smell of plague.
As the disease was extracted and merged into his own "death calamity", the man's condition improved rapidly, and he even regained his ability to fight.
Of course, Lu Bai's extraction of the plague aura is only a temporary solution and the impact of that mouthful of blood is still there.
If he does not receive other treatment, he will still get sick from the pathogens in the blood, but the attacks will not be as severe as before.
"This evil spirit is a treasure."
What Lu Bai had absorbed on Earth before was mostly just the energy of pain and fatigue. The pain came from those martial arts students, and the fatigue came from Wang Erya.
Among birth, aging, sickness and death, life does not need to be collected. Lu Bai himself is the "life", and the following "aging" and "sickness" are the key points.
If you collect enough "old age" and "illness", "death" will naturally appear.
Compared with the epidemic aura in front of us, the pain and fatigue accumulated before can only be regarded as extra at best.
Lu Bai also took a swipe at those people around who had absorbed the red energy.
They were only infected indirectly, and once the disease was gone, their own immunity would be enough to resist those sources of disease.
On the contrary, Lu Bai, who absorbed a large amount of the epidemic, did not get sick, but was very energetic.
This also stems from the superiority of "Death Tribulation".
The internal force structure recorded in the Sutra of Withering and Flourishing has two sides.
When the "prosperous" side prevails, the "withered" side will be completely suppressed, and no matter how much is collected, it will not affect itself.
But once the "death catastrophe" is truly completed and the "withered" side prevails, the "glorious" side will be quickly overwhelmed, and then Lu Bai will quickly begin to die.
Just as Lu Bai was collecting the scent of the plague, the dry well on the other side also underwent new changes after it spurted out blood. A whistling sound came from inside, and then became smaller and smaller.
Although the flame ignited by the kerosene was sprayed once by the blood, it only weakened, but it was still burning sporadically.
If you look closely, you can see clearly below the dry well.
There were many dry bones underneath, and next to the bottom of the well, there was actually a smooth hole.
"It probably leads directly to an underground river."
"That underground river is connected to some wells. That's why the water in many wells turned into blood."
"The evil spirit must have hidden over there in the dark river."
Immediately, a brave person jumped down to check the situation at the bottom of the well.
There were a lot of dead bones on the ground, many of which had turned into powder, and a foul smell lingered throughout the entire bottom.
However, the people from the Evil Extermination Bureau were well prepared for this. They covered their faces with wet towels and used their internal strength to assist them.
"Chase him and kill him." Captain Xia gave the order.
This underground river is related to the water supply of thousands of residents in Lupan City. Once it is completely polluted, the consequences will be disastrous.
Captain Xia took the lead and did not care about the slippery condition of the cave. He went straight into the hole at the bottom of the well.
The others did not hesitate too much and followed quickly.
Lu Bai followed at the end, observing the people from the Evil Suppression Bureau in front.
Each of them was moving very fast, and as they moved forward, a strange aura inexplicably appeared on their bodies.
It's the kind of feeling that if you appear in a horror movie, you can be sure that there is a ghost in this person at a glance.
The passage was not long, and under the light of the torches, we soon reached the end.
A small cave, with an underground river flowing. The water is red and emits a sweet and fishy smell, which is tempting in some way.
As everyone caught up, the thing lurking in the dark river finally surfaced.
This was a thing made up of plants and flesh, and Lu Bai immediately thought of Lu Sen.
However, it was soon discovered that there was still a certain gap between this monster and Lu Sen.
Green Forest is a distortion of life, appearing like a combination of plants and animals.
But the monster before him was actually a plant parasitic on the body of an animal.
A large amount of moss and vines entangled the bodies of several people, and countless roots penetrated into them, exposing some flesh and blood.
If you look closely, you can find out that these people are the five people from Lijia Village who fled here.
At this moment, three of the five people had their eyes closed and their heads lowered, without any breathing.
As for the other two, Li Duo was breathing out more than breathing in, and only Li Min remained "awake" at this moment.
His eyes were a little dazed, as if he was enjoying something.
"No wonder those people cannot live without the spiritual spring water. The pleasure produced by the disease destroying the body is really hard to resist."
People are born with a tendency to be self-destructive, and this was vividly displayed at this moment.
