"Senior, you're finally back." Seeing his return, Zhao Youcheng exclaimed excitedly, "Senior Brother Tian Songzi has been waiting for you for a long time." ”

"Tian Songzi? What's the matter with him looking for me? Chen Pi asked with a little surprise in his heart, Tian Songzi has always been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.

"Hey, good news." Zhao Youcheng happily pulled Chen Pi's arm and said, "In the past few days in the isolation center, my senior brother and I have not been idle, with the help of experts sent from China, we have counted all the cultural relics collected by the poisonous snake, and we have also recovered a lot of lost cultural relics from the people, this time it is a bumper harvest." Chen Pi is also happy in his heart, which is rare good news.

"Nothing happened at home during my absence, right?" As he walked, Chen Pi asked.

"Except for the tears that suddenly left the book and left, everything is normal." Zhao Youcheng replied.

"Tears gone?" Chen Pi was slightly taken aback in his heart and said, "When, did you say the reason?" ”

"She left the night you went to Himi City, and she didn't say anything, only left a book saying that she was thanking her seniors for taking her in, saying that she had a good time these days, that's all, I'll give it to you when I get back." Zhao Youcheng Road.

"Senpai." Seeing the tangerine peel, the pine nuts were as before, and they first gave a salute respectfully.

"Haha, Tian Songzi, I heard from your sister city that you have counted all those cultural relics during this time, which is a great joy." Chen Pi smiled and said, "But you have to act as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”

Tian Songzi also smiled: "The predecessor is right, the disciple is also this plan, although it is said that the chickens and dogs are restless because of the plague, but such a large-scale transfer of cultural relics, but it is rare, I believe that there will be many organizations are blushing at this, we have preliminarily decided that after three days, I will take ten junior disciples to escort back in person." ”

"Sea freight?" Chen Piqi said, "Why don't you take it by air?" "In today's plague-ridden world, Tian Songzi actually chose the extremely dangerous and slow sea transportation, which is really incomprehensible to Chen Pi.

"Huh?" Tian Songzi and Zhao Youcheng looked at Chen Pi in surprise.

"Any questions?" Chen Pi was confused by the two of them, and thought that he had said something wrong.

"Senior brother, I bet with you, my predecessor must have been in retreat these days, so he doesn't know anything about the outside world." Zhao Youcheng said confidently, without waiting for Tian Songzi to speak, Chen Pi had already nodded and said, "Yes, I've been in retreat and adjusting these days, so I don't know anything about anything these days, what's wrong, something happened again?" ”

"Senior, you are really an unpredictable prophet, do you remember when you said that the sky may soon be occupied by the demon race, and now it has come true." Zhao Youcheng said loudly, "What? Chen Pi looked at the two of them in surprise, and he couldn't imagine that he had only been quiet for a few days, and something had happened again.

Three days ago.

A large military transport plane suddenly crashed in the process of changing places, and the tragedy began before landing.

In the following night, more than 580 planes crashed around the world, including more than 300 large civil aircraft, and nearly 50,000 people were killed.

Later, after examination by experts, it was found that all of these 580-odd planes were destroyed and killed because the engines were involved in birds during take-off or landing, so now all the planes in the world have been grounded.

Chen Pi couldn't help but gasp, although he had a premonition that the demon clan would even close the sky passage, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly, and so bloody, overnight, so many planes were killed.

"We don't have a choice." Tian Songzi smiled bitterly.

Chen Pi shook his head and said: "I'm not worried about the demon clan in the sea, now that the sea water has been polluted, I believe he won't live here, what I'm worried about is the possibility of you being infected with the plague." ”

"This senior can rest assured that some protective measures have been taken on the hovercraft, and Lin Xingchen has promised to go with the ship and help us along the way." Tian Songzi smiled, Chen Pi breathed a sigh of relief, with Lin Xingchen's holy light protection, the safety factor of Tian Songzi and his party was undoubtedly much higher.

Chen Pi raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Youcheng, Zhao Youcheng immediately jumped up and said: "Senior, don't you want to drive me back, I have a lot of fun here, I will suffocate if I go back." Chen Pi couldn't help but smile bitterly with Tian Songzi, this kid said this, what else could Chen Pi say.

"Haha, senior, since Senior Brother Youcheng insists on doing this, you don't have to worry about him." Tian Songzi said with a smile, "Uncle Shi asked him to come with me this time, which is also to let him have a little more knowledge, hone and hone his temper, by the way, I have another happy event to tell you." ”

"Happy event? Where does the joy come from? ”

Tian Songzi's face showed a heartfelt smile and said, "Senior, do you remember the disease transmission expert I once mentioned to you who was born in a family of cultivators, after getting the water sample collected from the balcony, his research has gained a lot. ”

Chen Pi was in high spirits, this was a veritable happy event, and hurriedly asked: "That's great, he has made a great contribution, can you explain it in detail." ”

It turned out that on the night of the decision, Ye Fanghua arranged a seaplane to go to the surrounding waters of Liangtai City, not only collected a large number of water samples, but also airdropped many scientific research instruments into the sea, from the images sent back, the seabed of the sea near Liangtai City, covered with hundreds of thousands of human and monster bones, the flesh and blood fragments of these bones, then scattered in the sea water, became a delicacy of fish in the sea, in the waters around Liangtai, now gathered to be attracted to the huge fish that have not been seen in the past ten years.

And those seawater samples brought back, after he examined it, found that the content of the plague virus was dozens of times higher than that of the surrounding affected cities, which also confirmed his conjecture that Liangtai City was the origin of this great plague. In this way, it is not unreasonable to think that this plague is likely to be an ordinary bacterium that has mutated into the current plague under the action of mercury contamination, demon gas catalysis, and three mixed poisonous gases.

Although other disease transmission experts who were also researchers were quite unimpressed with his idea, let alone believe in the so-called demonic energy catalysis that could also produce mutations, Tian Songzi and Ye Fanghua thought that his opinion was most likely the cause of the plague, so despite the opposition of others, they provided a lot of manpower and material resources for him to study, and also notified all the cultivation sects, and consulted the various classics in their collections to see if there were any similar events that had happened in history.

"This was three days ago, and now he is conducting simulation experiments day and night, trying to find the germs that originally produced mutations, and if he can find the germs that originally produced mutations, and prove that it is indeed due to mercury pollution, demon gas catalysis, and the action of three mixed poisonous gases, I believe that the day when we find a way to prevent and treat it will not be far off." Tian Songzi said excitedly, the terrible plague that had plagued the world for nearly a month finally had the possibility of being cured, how could he not be happy in his heart.

"The effects of mercury pollution and mixed poisonous gas on germs are easy to simulate, how did he simulate this demon gas catalyst?" Chen Pi frowned and asked, the principle and method of demon qi catalytic creatures, as well as the difficulty of it, I am afraid that there are very few people in the human world who know better than him, that is a difficult job, not all demon clans have this ability.

"The spokesperson of the snow demon named Baole stayed, and it was he who carried out the work of demon qi catalysis." Tian Songzi Road.

"Bauler." Chen Pi couldn't help but be taken aback again, how could he stay in Bear City, the safety of the Snow Demon Clan still depends on him to maintain, now that Xue Ji is by his side, Bao Le is staying in the Bear City Disease Transmission Research Institute, so who is managing the Snow Demon Clan, but he can only keep these questions in his heart, and it is impossible to talk to Tian Songzi.

"Yes, it's him, after the ice city exterminated the Netherworld Monarch, those snow demons all withdrew to Bear City, at that time, the research work has begun to see, and a high-level demon clan is urgently needed to help simulate demon qi catalysis, at that time, everyone who met the requirements thought that only he and your brigade were the only ones, and the brigade had to be isolated and observed because they entered the ice city with you, so we found him." Tian Songzi explained.

"It's incredible that you were able to convince him to stay." Chen Pi said secretly in his heart.

"Alas, it really took a lot of effort at that time, we barely persuaded him to stay, his attitude towards me was quite good, Ye Fanghua and they had enough of his cynicism." Tian Songzi obviously remembered the hardships of the negotiation at that time, and said with a wry smile, "We talked about it from morning to midnight, and the Awakened promised countless benefits, which made him relieved. ”

Chen Pi was silent for a moment, and then said solemnly to Tian Songzi: "Tian Songzi, Bao Le should be for my sake, plus we cultivators have no grievances with them, so we will be more polite to you, but I have to remind you that if there is something similar next time, I hope you don't help the Awakened to come forward, which is harmful to us." Tian Songzi couldn't help but be stunned, and he couldn't figure out what Chen Pi meant by what he said, not to mention that the alliance between the Snow Demon Clan and humans was promoted by Chen Pi with his own hands, why did he suddenly change his attitude now?

As if seeing the confusion in Tian Songzi's heart, Chen Pi continued: "Tian Songzi, you and Bao Le have met twice, what do you think of his strength?" ”

Tian Songzi replied without hesitation: "The strength is strong, the cultivation time should be nearly a thousand years, in my opinion, except for the elders in the sect, our generation is invincible, it is really strange, when did the Snow Demon Clan have such a strong reinforcement?" ”

Chen Pi nodded and said: "Yes, his strength is between me and the best, I am not sure of defeating him, since you also see this, then I am relieved, the Snow Demon Clan has suffered a lot from human beings, although this time I agreed to form an alliance with human beings, but in my bones I must still be more protective of human beings." ”

"And the Awakened have no choice but to form an alliance with the Snow Demon in order to exterminate the Nether Monarch this time, and now that the Nether Monarch has been wiped out, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be people among the Awakened who have evil thoughts, we had better not get involved too deeply, so as not to be affected by them." Tian Songzi immediately came to his senses, the situation that Chen Pi said was very likely to happen, if he was angry by Baole because of this, wouldn't it be extremely wronged.

Zhao Youcheng also said: "Senior brother, what the seniors said is true, that old guy is not simple, and we can't afford to provoke fire." ”

Chen Pi leaned on the back of the sofa, looking up at the ceiling, he didn't understand why Bao Le agreed to stay, it stands to reason that he couldn't not understand the stakes, no matter how much the Awakened promised him, he must first put his own safety and the safety of the Snow Demon Clan first.

"What the hell does he think?" Chen Pi was still racking his brains to figure out Bao Le's intentions, in his opinion, Bao Le was definitely not a brave and reckless man, from the fact that he entrusted Xue Ji to his side, the old guy's mind was quite delicate.

Staying here must have his intentions, but he didn't think of it for a while: "By the way, Xue Ji, she must know Baole's intentions." Chen Pi was in good spirits, and he didn't have to worry about guessing here, just ask Xue Ji when the time came.

"Oops, I almost forgot, the day before yesterday, Miss Xu Nannan specially called to ask about your situation, when she learned that you were quarantined, she was so anxious that she almost cried, so I repeatedly assured that it was just a preventive measure, and the possibility of you being infected was very small, which calmed her down." Zhao Youcheng leaned in front of Chen Pi with a wicked smile and said, "Senior, the beauty is favored, you are going to take the peach blossom luck." ”

Chen Pi struck a heavy blow on his forehead like a lightning flash, and scolded with a smile: "Guy who is not big or small, his eyes are red, do you want me to match you and Xu Xiaohui for you?" Although Zhao Youcheng had already taken precautions, as soon as he finished speaking, he immediately turned backwards and wanted to stay away from Chen Pi, but he was still knocked on the head, he fell back to the sofa exaggeratedly, covered his forehead and said with a bitter face: "I can't always avoid this hand." ”

Tian Songzi couldn't help laughing, but he quickly restrained his smile and said solemnly: "Senior, this is indeed the disciple's carelessness, now that I think about it, there is something wrong, and the disciple will be more careful in the future." ”

Chen Pi waved his hand casually and said: "Don't take it too seriously, Tian Songzi, I'm just giving you a reminder, the proportion is still up to you, to be honest, I really hope that the first alliance between the human and demon races can last for a long time." ”

"Since God has let the demon clan appear in this world, it must have an unknown purpose, and now human beings regard the demon clan as an enemy, and they are fighting and killing when they meet, which has caused the current situation, and the demon clan has not officially appeared, and it has already made the whole world panic, if the demon clan comes to commit a big crime and turns the entire human world into a killing field, I don't know how many people will die."

This is also the disciple of Qingcheng, Chen Pi can talk about the relationship between people and demons like this, if it is changed to other sects, I am afraid that Chen Pi will already jump to his feet and scold Chen Pi for being a spy of the demon clan and a traitor to mankind, in their eyes, the demon clan is the enemy of mankind, and their inner pill is the elixir for improving their skills, so they will kill the demon clan.

Tian Songzi also fell silent, indeed as Chen Pi said, in this short period of more than a month, the real demon clan has not yet appeared, the whole world has been in chaos, tens of millions of human beings have died, and if this continues, I don't know how many people will die innocently in this catastrophe in the future.

After sending Tian Songzi away, Chen Pi immediately summoned Xue Ji, first inquired about her clan's return trip, and then talked about his doubts about Bao Le's stay in the Bear City Hospital.

"What the eldest brother said, Baoler's predecessors have thought of it, the reason why he stayed in Bear City is also because he doesn't want to give an excuse to those who want to cross the river and tear down the bridge, after all, before that, the human cultivators were forced to form an alliance with our snow demon due to the pressure that the Netherworld King might spread the deadly plague to the whole territory, and now the Nether King with the plague virus has been wiped out, and the Snow Demon clan has no use for them at present, it is not ruled out that someone may secretly attack and tear up the agreement between the two sides."

"Although Baoler's predecessors are strong, but after all, they are invincible with two fists and four hands, and it is difficult to maintain thoroughly, and big brother, you must have your purpose in concealing your identity and blending into the human race, and you can't turn your face with the cultivation world purely for us, so Baole seniors decided to stay and help you with the research of the plague virus, as long as you don't find an effective treatment for a day, the awakened people can't officially turn against us for a day." Yukihime said softly.

Chen Pi immediately understood Bao Le's intentions, just as Tian Songzi said, at present, in the cultivator camp, the only people who can achieve demonic energy catalysis are himself and Bao Le, and he is under quarantine observation, and whether he can agree to take this risk is still uncertain, and Bao Le with ice attribute has become the best choice.

Bao Le, who can freely manipulate ice and snow like a snow demon, can adjust his body temperature at will, and with the protection of the Holy Light, the possibility of contracting the plague is extremely low, so he is more suitable for this job than himself.

And in this way, no matter what the final result is, the cultivator owes a love to the snow demon represented by Baole, if he still wants to secretly calculate the snow demon clan, I am afraid that he needs to be thicker than the corner of the ancient city wall of Xi'an, and he is really dedicated to the future of the snow demon clan.

There is another layer of intention, although Bao Le did not tell Xue Ji, but Chen Pi also thought of it, a powerful person, stay, no matter what cultivators want to do to the Snow Demon Clan, they must take into account the serious consequences of Bao Le's killing in Bear City. Hehe, think about it before acting, but in this way, Bao Le put himself in danger that may arise at any time, and if he does not completely solve his problem, the cultivator will not dare to rashly attack the snow demons.
