Chapter 32: The Purple Blood Plague
"Uncle, when are we going to bring this blood back," Ling Xiao asked.
"We are still on the outskirts of the forest, and there are no obvious abnormalities in these blood samples, I think we need to go deeper and collect more samples" Ling Mad's eyes were firm, as if he was not afraid of death for the sake of academics.
"Okay, let's go"
The once vibrant forest seemed to be full of dead silence, the breeze blew with a trace of blood, the two of them were nervous and did not dare to relax for a moment, Ling Mad picked up a piece of grass on the ground, the grass contained blood, the blood was red with a slight purple, the grass had been slightly corroded, Ling Mad put it into a glass test tube and covered it with a plug "The blood has become acidic, be careful not to touch the blood when fighting"
Ling Mad took out the map, jumped on the trees, and looked around at the nearby mountains: "No, this is where we are now, we came to the central range within the cordon, and in my investigation records, almost all the creatures here are in a state, almost frenzied and indiscriminately attacking any creature found, it is very likely to be a plague" He put on a mask and handed one to Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao did not refuse, the plague is an extremely bad infectious disease, which can spread under many unknown conditions, such as food, water, air, and the roasted creatures that the two of them ate before, it is fortunate that the two of them were not infected, and this plague infected all the creatures here may not infect humans.
"Uncle, it seems that we don't want to hunt anymore, I have freshwater, you and I are both martial artists, and we should not have to eat for several days", Ling Mad affirmed.
The two of them continued to walk forward without returning their swords to their sheaths, when the alert Ling Xiao heard a soft sound coming from a hidden cave in front of them.
Sharp eyes, the sword gang sounded, Ling Xiao stepped into the cave, close to the entrance of the cave, but saw a young man of about his own age with a purple face mixed to death, his mouth made a soft sound, it was obvious that this was a sign of poisoning and dying, at this time Ling Xiao had not followed up, Ling Xiao didn't say a word, turned out an antidote pill from the ring, and no matter what grade stuffed it into the young man's mouth, seeing that the purple on the young man's face gradually faded, Ling Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, and carried him out of the cave.
"Ling Xiao, what is this?" Ling Xiao put the young man on the ground: "When I went in, he was already poisoned, I gave him the antidote pill, I hope it will be useful, uncle, do you know him?"
Ling Mad's eyes lit up: "This is my nephew Ling Blade, I have always taken good care of him, I didn't expect him to appear here, Ling Xiao thank you"
"Ha, uncle, this is what I should do, how can I say that I can't save him when I see death, since he needs to recuperate, then we will rest in this cave first"
Ling Madness packed up a handful of dry firewood and brought it into the cave, Ling Xiao carried Ling Blade into the cave, covered the entrance of the cave with grass and trees, and inserted the righteous sword not far from the entrance of the cave.
The dry wood burst into flames, and Ling Mad stroked Ling Blade's forehead, feeling his body temperature gradually return to normal and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"I think we'll escort Ling Blade back when he wakes up, and inform the family of the fact that the master will be sent to deal with the plague here," Ling Mad said.
Ling Xiao frowned: "I think things must not be so simple, I suspect that it is very likely to be manipulated by humans, it is better to prepare after we go back and then visit the depths with the masters."
The fire lit up here, and I saw Ling Blade's fingers move slowly, and then Ling Blade suddenly sat up and opened his eyes and spewed out a mouthful of poisonous blood: "I, where am I, am I dead?"
"Eldest nephew, you're awake," Ling Crazy grabbed Ling Blade's wrist, "Crazy uncle, I'm still alive," Ling Blade cried excitedly.
"Okay, okay, manly blood without tears, why are you here, eldest nephew?" Ling Blade stopped sobbing and told the story of what he had encountered these days.
It turned out that after he first came here to cultivate, he encountered a large number of mutant poisonous spiders, and the poison on the spider silk invaded his body, and he was chased from the outer area to the middle before dropping them, but the toxin had already attacked, and he fell straight into this cave, and had to resign himself to fate.
"No, drink some water, of course don't think about wine" Ling Xiao handed over a kettle, and Ling Jian poured it down unceremoniously.
Ling Mad patted his head: "Eldest nephew, introduce this little brother's name is Ling Xiao, don't look at his age, but he has the same cultivation as me, he saved you, thank you quickly"
Ling Jian was shocked: "I really didn't expect that it was the idol of our generation who saved me, I am not grateful, and today's grace will be repaid by a spring"
"Uncle Mad Uncle, let's go back and inform the clan quickly, the situation here is no longer optimistic"
Immediately, the three of them set off, Ling Blade's body was still difficult to move forward, and Ling Mad needed to carry it on his back, so Ling Xiao raised the righteous path sword above his head, and used the power of the fire path above to deter the mutant creatures that coveted the three of them nearby, even so, the three of them did not dare to startle the snake, and walked slowly, avoiding encountering creatures like the rhinoceros before.
Jian Gang extinguished a few strands of poison in front of him, the poison here had already fled in fright, and the three of them returned to the Ling family's outpost safe and sound.
There was a slight difference between the people at the outpost: "Ling Xiao, why is it so fast?"
"The situation is urgent, and there seems to be an outbreak of a terrible infectious disease in the back mountain, and almost all the creatures in it have mutated, and the clan needs to be notified quickly."
The people at the outpost will be suspicious After all, this kind of thing has never happened, but they still choose to believe Ling Xiaoyou: "Okay, I'll notify you, block the back mountain, you go and inform the master, we need to find the people of the trial"
The three of them didn't dare to rest for a moment, so they rushed back and found Ling Yun to talk about it.
"What? There is such a thing?" Ling Yun was also a little shocked, but he was also shocked when he saw Ling Blade, who had just recovered from poisoning.
After listening to Ling Xiao's short narration, Ling Yun made a decision immediately.
"Guard, send an order, a martial artist will bring two high-level martial artists, a total of ten teams, bring the antidote pill and torches, search the back mountain, and be sure to find those who have tried to get me back."
"Send me two more high-level martial artists to bring ......" Ling Mad suddenly interrupted: "Master of the family, please wait a minute"
Ling Yun was a little anxious for a while: "Do you have to leave it alone?"
"No, I've already collected blood samples from those mutated creatures, please allow me to do some tests and send a master to clean up the area to avoid unnecessary casualties"
Ling Yun took a big breath, he didn't expect such a strange thing to happen behind his clan's ass: "Okay, you can check it first, guard, according to the previous order, send someone to search for someone first, and then come back as soon as possible."
"Yes," the guards passed the order to the interrogators, and a total of thirty good men led the order to the back mountain outpost, took the small balls that could search for the location, and jumped into the jungle.
