Chapter 60: Centipede Gu
"Great! I'm going to the biggest playground in the house, and I want you to play with me... Ahem..."The little boy's voice burst into joy, and it sounded as if he hadn't stepped out of this little room for a long time.
Murong shook his head, he didn't know what this Huo Di had gone through, but he knew very well in his heart that from the information fed back to him by his divine sense, this little boy was already terminally ill.
"Lie down, you must have opened the door just now and suffered the wind, come, drink the medicine first." Hody turned his face away, holding back his tears.
I don't know what kind of medicine was fed to the child, but soon, the slight snoring of the little boy named Jihoon started.
Murong didn't want to do much, but because he had already noticed that this child's condition was extremely serious, it was even very likely that he would not survive the past few days.
Just as he was thinking about how to open his mouth to Huo Di, he heard the sound of a man opening the door, and Murong hurriedly hid aside.
Since Murong had already concealed his own aura, and his realm was too much higher than Huo Di, he would naturally not be discovered.
Hody looked around again, carefully locked the door, lowered the brim down a lot, and hurried out of the neighborhood.
Murong didn't think much about it, and directly controlled the distance within a few hundred meters and followed him.
Duan Rong just told himself that what Huo Di did was a shady killer business. Murong knew that the income from this line of work was very high, and Huo Di was a master of such a realm, so it stands to reason that he should not have such a bad life.
From what is known now, it seems that all the money he has earned has been invested in the diagnosis and treatment of the little boy's condition. But what exactly are so many ambergris and musk used for?
Turning around, Hody got into a black sedan at a relatively remote intersection. And it is worth noting that after getting into the car, he did not have any communication with the driver, but the car sped directly to the north.
This time, the tracking consumed a little bit of Murong's true qi, because the car actually drove directly to the other end of Jiangcheng, and the distance of nearly fifty kilometers still surprised him.
It seems that it should have been said in advance, and the car was parked at the side entrance of a high-end community. Hody got out of the car, the car left in a hurry, and everything seemed so natural.
"Sir, the alien population needs to come out...", the security guard, who couldn't see the face of the comer, seemed to want Hody to show his ID, but before he could finish speaking, he had already fallen to the ground.
Fortunately, he just passed out, and Hody didn't kill him? Then he calmly ran into the security room, and after a few shouts, Hody had already knocked out all the security guards in the duty room, and smashed the monitoring equipment switch in the community.
Murong didn't intervene, he knew that Huo Di's shot just now didn't have killing intent, so he wanted to let things continue to develop, after all, if he made a move, it would directly distort the purpose of his tracking.
Hody alertly dragged the unconscious security guard at the door inside, and then quickened his pace into the community.
Although he had already stepped into the Void Pill Realm with half a foot, he couldn't fly in the sky after all, he was just a little faster than ordinary people.
His target was 1406 in Building C, and this time, Murong couldn't sit idly by. A man as strong as Hodi, especially his title of executioner, if he was one step too late, I am afraid that he would really die.
The figure at the door flickered, and Hody actually penetrated directly through the wall from outside. Murong looked a little stunned, the monks in the fusion period did not have this ability. This Hodi must have cultivated some kind of exercise in order to do this.
Murong didn't have time to think about it, so he also dodged and followed.
That is, it was less than a second late, and when Murong entered the door, Huo Di had already stunned a middle-aged man who was wearing glasses and was not very strong.
At the moment, he was fiddling with his phone, probably trying to film the process. It seems that the mobile phone is a little stuck, which slightly delays his hands-on time.
"Stop!"
Murong's sudden appearance frightened Huo Di a lot, and the mobile phone in his hand also fell to the ground, but the hand holding the man who had fainted had not let go.
"It's you!" Huo Di was also shocked when he saw that it was Murong who had just met. Although he didn't pay much attention to Murong's rumors, he still heard a little bit about it.
Besides, looking at this posture, he must have been tracking him all the way, but he didn't notice it at all, and the gap between the two was enough to be visible.
"Do you know this person?" Huo Di was a little uncertain in his heart, if this man and Murong knew each other, let alone his own mission, I am afraid that his life would also be explained here.
"I don't know. Murong dragged the man in Huo Di's hand over and threw him on the sofa on the side.
"Then you want to take revenge on me because of what happened before?" Although Hodi breathed a sigh of relief, his nerves were still tense. He knew that if the two fought each other, he should not be able to hold on for a round.
"Revenge? Murong shook his head, looking indifferent.
"Then what are you going to do!" Huo Di was already impatient, he didn't know Murong's intention, but now he couldn't move his hand, and he couldn't run.
Murong pulled over a stool and sat down, "No matter who this person is or who he is, you can't kill him." ”
"If I have to kill it. Hody's face was pale, he had been doing this for so long, and he had never missed.
"Really?" Murong smiled at him, "You can't do that." ”
"If you want to kill me, do it, or leave it alone!" At this moment, Hody's emotions were on the verge of collapse, and he couldn't fight, and he didn't fight.
"I won't kill you," Murong shook his head and grabbed Huo Di's arm, and the figures of the two disappeared in an instant.
When Hodi opened his eyes, he found that he had returned to the outside of the warehouse, and Jihoon was still asleep inside.
"If you want me to join your organization, I can't do it, you don't have to look for me. The man paced the doorway, but did not enter.
"Why do you want to kill people, you're short of money?" Murong sat on the edge of the flower bed next to him, looking up at Hodi.
"It's none of your business. The man didn't answer him, just clenched his fists silently, as if he was very puzzled and angry about Murong's behavior.
Murong was not surprised by this answer, "Okay, if you don't say it, I don't bother to ask." Then let's talk about your son, ambergris and musk are piled together, this is a Gu poison attack?"
Huo Di frowned slightly, looked at Murong's expression, and stopped talking.
"In order to remove poison and carrion, a small amount of musk is sufficient, and this ambergris is probably just for the sake of lean veins, is it that the condition should have recovered a long time ago, but it has worsened?" Murong's eyes kept staring at the door of the warehouse, looking thoughtful.
Hearing this, Huo Di couldn't hold back any longer, and walked directly in front of Murong and grabbed Murong's clothes. "How do you know!"
Murong shook his head, but instead directly pressed Huo Di's hands and pushed him staggering.
"You don't have a brain! This is really bad for him, you know!"
Murong's words were like lightning strikes, leaving Huo Di speechless, and he looked back behind him. Indeed, he also found that the vitality of this Jihoon is declining significantly.
"What do you mean?"
"Although this musk can be used as a medicinal inducer, it is also a catalyst for this Gu poison. In other words, you are killing this child step by step!"
"You fart, they won't lie to me!" Huo Di pushed Murong away and squatted on the ground alone with his head in his hands, his expression somewhat suspicious.
"Who?who?
"It's none of your business, you get out of here, I don't want to..."Before Hodi could finish speaking, there was a cry of pain from the room, which was from the little boy named Jihoon.
In contrast, Murong's hearing was much sharper than that of Huo Di, and he didn't care too much, so he took three steps and two steps, kicked open the door of the warehouse, and came directly to the boy's side.
Seeing this, Hody still hadn't figured out what was going on. But he also rushed over immediately, thinking that Murong was going to be unfavorable to his son.
The moment "you ..." came in, Hody was completely crushed by the scene in front of him.
The boy's condition is extremely bad, the skin on his body has ulcerated in a large area at the moment, and the bones of his legs have even been exposed, which looks shocking.
And the onset of Gu poison was not over, in the boy's body, a trace of extremely inconspicuous energy wandered in every meridian on his body. Everywhere they passed, the meridians trembled all the time.
Jihoon, who could have shouted just now, is now completely unconscious. Murong hurriedly probed his snort, and it could be said that he was already angry.
"Save him, you save him!" Huo Di broke down and knelt on the ground, tugging at Murong's clothes.
In the eyes of many cultivators, he is an extremely talented and enviable master. But at the moment, he is just a father who is afraid that his children will be tortured and die.
"Don't kneel, go and throw this pile of musk out!" Murong took the lead in sealing all the boy's meridians, temporarily allowing the serious bleeding to be suppressed. Otherwise, before the treatment could begin, the boy would have died of blood loss.
"Good!
Murong is not a doctor after all, and he can't even know a little bit about medical skills, but at this moment, he can only be a dead horse doctor, and he can't watch the boy die.
Raising his hand, he shot out a few traces of true qi into the air, and first drained all the remaining musk breath in the room. Then the true qi in the body was slowly injected into the boy's body, and a touch of divine consciousness was attached to it.
Murong frowned, judging from the results of the divine sense's detection of Zhixun's body, this Gu poison had penetrated deep into the bone marrow. I didn't know how to do it, so I could simply force out the toxins that had been exposed.
But even if he had already used the true qi in his body, the poison that had spread all over his internal organs was still fission out of new toxins all the time.
Although the boy's breathing and pulse have stabilized at the moment, if he stops the transmission of true qi, he doesn't know what kind of highly toxic substance it is, and it will still invade his body very quickly, and the end will still be difficult to escape.
Before I knew it, half an hour had passed. Seeing that Murong's forehead had begun to sweat, the boy's situation was still not optimistic. Although consciousness gradually cleared up, for a child, this pain is still unbearable.
Several times he vomited blackened blood, making Hody think he was out of danger. I was about to step forward to thank him, but was stopped by Murong with his eyes.
"This..."Huo Di looked at Zhixun, whose face began to be rosy, and the burden in his heart was slightly lowered, but seeing that Murong was still frowning, he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.
"It can't go on like this... I'm afraid that all the true qi in my body will be drained, and I won't be able to get rid of the toxins at the root. Murong gritted his teeth, although he was so anxious in his heart, he was helpless.
"Hodi, how long can the true qi in your body be injected into the child's body at my current speed?" Murong suddenly had an idea in his heart, although he didn't know if it was feasible, but at least he needed to try it.
The man stepped forward and carefully inspected the transmission position of Murong True Qi and the grasp of the speed.
"Twenty minutes may be the limit. Although Huo Di was very jealous of the powerful true qi that Murong burst out, now was not the time to think about other things. For him, being able to save the child's life is more important than anything else.
"Okay, I need time to hire someone, you just do what I'm doing now, remember! Don't leave, or no one will leave him! Wait for me!"
After a few words of instruction to Huo Di, Murong disappeared directly in place. Seeing this, Hodi immediately continued his true qi as instructed.
Murong thought in his heart that it was not someone else, it was Li Qing, who had the ability of the wood attribute that he had communicated with last night.
He didn't know if he could help, but there was no other way. After all, he couldn't stay in that warehouse all the time, and there were still many things waiting for him.
Murong had already exerted his speed to the extreme, and the true qi in his body was also recovering at this moment, but due to the consumption of flying through the sky, it could only be said to be a drop in the bucket.
"Li Qing, quick, come with me, do me a favor!" Murong shuttled between the two ends of Jiangcheng, and saw that Li Qing was drinking tea, so he didn't care about saying more, and directly dragged him away.
"Murong, this is..."Li Qing was also a second monk at this time, and he was confused, which showed that Murong was so anxious, and he also guessed that there must be something extremely important.
"Let's talk about it when I get there, let me recover..."Murong didn't have time to explain the situation one by one, what he needed now was the recovery of his true qi, because he didn't know if Li Qing's arrival could solve the problem, and he still had to be ready to fight a protracted battle.
"I'm back!Huo Di, you go out first!" Murong hurriedly replaced Huo Di, who was already pale, and asked him to wait outside the door. After all, there is a difference between a monk and a supernatural being, and he doesn't want both of them to know each other.
Where did Huo Di dare to refute, he had to follow Murong's orders, no matter how big the doubts and uneasiness in his heart, he could only endure it silently.
"Murong, this ......" Li Qing pointed to Zhixun on the bed, and suddenly felt surprise and pity in his heart.
Although he is not very old, he has experienced a lot of big and small things. He had seen many wounded people, but it was the first time he had seen a child who had undergone such terrible torture.
"Poisoning, I can't tell if it's Gu poison or germs, Li Qing! You can see if you can find a way to save him!" Murong looked at Li Qing who was checking his injuries while infusing the true qi in his body.
Completely different from Murong's method, Li Qing naturally used the energy detection of the supernatural, which was essentially not much different from the spiritual power detection or the divine consciousness detection.
Seeing that Li Qing nodded first, and then shook his head again, Murong felt even more uneasy.
"Centipede Gu, it's a little difficult to do!" Li Qing motioned for Murong to stop first, and then put his hand on the boy's heart, and the green light representing the wood attribute slowly flowed into the child's body.
To Murong's delight, the ulcers in Zhixun's legs were rapidly healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the few strange traces of energy that had been stirring all the time had also slowed down the speed of flow.
After a while, Li Qing also withdrew his hand. At this time, the boy's breathing gradually returned to normal, but due to the previous pain, his body was still a little weak and still in a deep sleep.
"Okay?" Murong asked in a low voice, gently stroking the child's forehead.
Li Qing shook his head, "At most, it will be three days, and he will get sick again." Moreover, if it is not cured, the severity of his illness will become more and more severe. ”
Murong was also much more solemn when he heard this, he didn't understand what kind of person wanted to persecute such a young child so much.
"How can we cure it?" Murong turned his head to look at Li Qing on the side, this question was the most important thing.
He knew that the biggest problem he would face next was Morey, who would appear at some point. Maybe it's tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or maybe it's the next second, he doesn't know, and no one knows.
"Two ways. The first is to find the Millipede King and attack the Gu with poison. Second, you can find a fire attribute ability above SS and use sulfur to kill the centipede. ”
"Which one is more feasible?" Murong didn't know what this millipede king was, let alone how he could find it. I hope this second method is more appropriate.
"The second. The child's body is in a state of extreme weakness, and if he fights poison with poison, I am afraid he will not be able to bear this level at all. Li Qing looked at the sleeping boy, and he was also a little helpless.
"Why SS-level fire type abilities?"
"The boiling point of sulfur is around 444 degrees Celsius, and the only people who can release such high temperatures are those with fire attribute abilities. Li Qing explained to Murong in detail.
"Can't you just use fire?"
Li Qing seemed to be so choked by this somewhat stupid question that he couldn't speak, and he coughed angrily.
"Of course not!" Li Qing even lowered his head in embarrassment, "This sulfur has to enter the body first, and then the fire attribute powerhouse uses the real fire to urge it to boil. This will not hurt your child's skin and internal organs. If you use fire as you say, you won't be burned alive..."
Murong also laughed a few times with some shame, but the top priority was to find a suitable person, and he couldn't procrastinate. The little boy obviously didn't have time to wait much longer.
"Do you have the right candidate?" Murong glanced at Li Qing, hoping that he could give a positive answer.
But he smiled bitterly and shook his head, "There are many fire attribute abilities, but it is the most difficult branch to promote, I'm afraid I can't find one even if I look through the entire Huaxia..."
The hope that had just been ignited was like a candle being extinguished by cold water, and Murong's mood became extremely heavy again, and his face was also very ugly.
"Do we have a fire attribute ability in our bureau?"
"Yes, as far as Tang Anqi you helped at the beginning, she is a fire attribute ability, but she only has the strength of B-, and she can't do it..." Li Qing was also very sorry in his heart, and couldn't help patting Murong on the shoulder.
"You ask her to come over, I have a way to help her improve her strength!" Murong lowered his head and kept picking at his fingers, and suddenly, there was a way that might be.
"What, improve your strength, can you?" these words made Li Qing almost miss his breath, and thought he was joking.
"Maybe, I'll be sorry if I don't try!" Murong nodded at Li Qing.
Looking at the firmness revealed in Murong's eyes, Li Qing wanted to tease a few words and stubbornly held back. At this time, he was even a little shaken, maybe Murong could really do what he said.
After all, when the instrument tested Murong, the bone age shown was eighteen years old. Looking at the whole world, there is no second person who can reach the top of the SSS at the age of eighteen.
If it weren't for the fact that Huaxia is now in the biggest test it has faced in recent years, with this kid's ability and age, he would even be able to make Huaxia devote resources to cultivating.
"I see, I'll arrange for her to contact you. Leaving a word, Li Qing also left here in a hurry. After all, the Jiangcheng sub-bureau is waiting for an incalculable opponent.
After Li Qing left, Huo Di, who was already very anxious waiting outside the door, finally returned to the house, and saw that the little guy was already asleep, and his hanging heart was finally relaxed.
"Thank you, from now on, my life will be yours. Huo Di was not good at talking, but after going through the ten hours of transmitting his true qi, he knew how much Murong would consume in a total of nearly two hours.
Murong waved his hand, "There is no cure yet, and the situation is not particularly optimistic." If you can trust me, take the child with me now. Murong made this suggestion to Huo Di.
Judging from Hody's inadvertent 'they' earlier, this person must have existed in an organization, but it seems that the group of people is not really helping him, but is persecuting his son.
"This..."Hodi fell into thought, because the failure of today's mission will actually be stressful.
But now the focus of everything must be on the child, and after some hesitation, he still responded.
"Okay, I'll go with you. ”
