Chapter XXXVIII

Well, mint-flavored.

Eventually, he drank the purification potion.

No matter how much distrust there was in his heart, how much unhappiness he felt in his heart, Amia did drink it. Maybe it's because of the kindness of that meal, maybe it's because of the pity of fellow humans, but it's more because of self-confidence.

Emia drank the purification potion, and time passed little by little, and waited for about a minute, but there was no reaction.

The nervousness of the three Crosby trio dissipated, and their faces showed expressions of relief and exhaustion.

"I'm sorry to suspect you and apologize for the inconvenience. ”

Crosby bowed his head to Omia and bowed deeply.

"It's okay, as long as the misunderstanding is resolved. But what the hell is going on with you guys so nervous? ”

Without a trace, he put another bottle of test tube containing light cyan liquid in his hand into his arms, and said very generously.

"This ......"

Crosby looked at Emia with a hint of hesitation on his face.

"Don't mother-in-law, what's going on. ”

Emia asked urgently.

"This is a long story, it starts with yesterday morning......"

Crosby looked up at the gray sky and gradually fell into memory.

"Well, let's get to the point!"

Looking like Crosby was planning to make a tirade, Emia interrupted.

"What's the point? One of my brothers was infected. ”

Crosby suddenly became extremely nervous.

It's really to the point, skip the process directly, and tell the results.

Since your brother is injured, you should pay more attention to it! I don't know how nervous I am when I remind you, if I don't remind you, will you hang your brother there and keep talking about what happened in the past two days!

Emia felt that there must be a 'well' on the door of his head now.

"I'm infected! ”

Emia asked very anxiously, but he knew how troublesome it was if people were infected and became demons, especially powerful humans, and Frey was a good example.

"Right over there, Bell is watching over him. ”

Crosby gestured to the bushes not far away.

It was a small bush on the edge of the swamp, and there were several tall trees around the bush, which blocked the already dim light, making the bush extremely dark, and people subconsciously ignored it.

"It's a good place to hide, and if it weren't for the fact that I'm too small, I'd guess you'd be ambushing me there. ”

Emia said with some teasingness.

"No, no matter how big it is, we won't ambush you there. Since your identity was not established at that time, it was obviously unwise to ambush you in the place where Bert was hiding. ”

Crosby's face was solemn, and the mood for Amia to laugh was instantly gone.

The group walked into the bushes, and a teenager with a small wand in his hand jumped out of the bushes and looked at them.

"Big brother, you're finally back. The demonic aura on Bert's body has thickened again, and there are still three bottles of purification potion left in my hand. Big brother, who is he?"

Seeing Emia walking at the end, Bell showed a wary look.

"Bell, don't worry, he's a Mia, we've tested it, it's not a demon. ”

Crosby hurriedly stepped forward to stop Bell and explained.

Hearing Crosby's explanation, Bell's defensiveness instantly dissipated, and it was clear that he believed Crosby's words.

Ignoring the conversation of the people next to her, Emia looked at the man who was lying on a white cloth in the bushes.

The man was wrapped in an ominous demonic aura and was in a coma, but he still had a painful expression on his face, and kept whispering and wailing.

At a glance, this man was what they called Bert.

At a glance, Bert gave Amia an unusually distorted feeling. It's a good thing, Frey doesn't have this distortion in her, and even when she uses her power, Emia can only detect the faint incongruity.

However, Frey is already a complete demon.

If there is still a distortion, it means that it has not been completely infected, and it also means that there is still salvation.

"It's only a few steps from the exit, why don't you move him out. ”

Looking around at the four people with worried faces, Emia asked with a strange face.

The four looked up at each other and fell silent.

In the end, it was Crosby who stepped forward and gave an explanation to Himia.

"The only way to get rid of the infection now is to use purification potions. There may be other ways for the Alliance, but it will definitely not be used for Bert. If we bring him there now, the best would be to leave him in the swampy forest and leave him to fend for himself. If one is not good, his life may be ......"

Speaking of this, Crosby sighed deeply.

Although the words are very negative, I have to say that what Crosby said is indeed right. If the cost of rescuing Bert is too great, the Alliance will obviously choose to get rid of him outright.

"Purification potion? I'll see how it works. ”

Emia raised her hand and made a gesture of please.

Crosby thought for a moment, nodded, and reached for Bell. Slightly hesitant, Bell took out a test tube from his arms and placed it in Crosby's palm.

Picking up the test tube, Crosby reached out and pulled the plug and looked at Bert lying on the ground with a look of disapproval.

Gritting his teeth, Crosby tilted his head to the side, and the test tube in his hand slowly tilted, and the pale cyan liquid in the test tube slowly fell, dripping on Bell, who was shrouded in demonic energy.

"Ah~"

A scream came from Bert's mouth, startling the unprepared Omia.

When the purifying potion hits Bert's body, it makes a 'hiss' sound, as if boiling water is poured on his body.

When encountering the purification potion, a large amount of demonic energy broke away from Bert's body and dissipated into the air.

As the demonic qi fell off, Bert's appearance gradually became clear, and a person who was obviously less than twenty years old looked as haggard as a person in his forties and fifties.

After the purification potion was poured, the demonic energy on Bert's body began to grow rapidly again, and at this rate, it was estimated that it would only take a few minutes to grow to the original level.

"The speed at which the demonic qi grows has accelerated again. ”

Looking at the rapidly growing demonic energy, Crosby's brow furrowed tightly.

"What the hell is going on, how did it get like this? ”

Seeing the abnormal growth rate of the demonic qi on Bert's body, Emia also frowned tightly.

The demonic energy on Bert's body grew so fast, but it was not absorbed from the air, but more like it was emitted by itself, which was obviously very abnormal.

"It's all my fault, I'm too greedy. ”

Crosby lifted his head high, as if trying to stop something from coming out, his face full of remorse.

"Big brother, it's not your fault, we are all too naΓ―ve to think. ”

"Yesterday, we met a young girl in the forest, who, like you, didn't wear a Cloak of Purification, but we didn't know the importance of the Cloak at the time......"

Crosby slowly talked about yesterday's events, but how to listen to it, how familiar it sounded to him.

PS: There is one more shift in the afternoon

There are fewer and fewer recommended clicks, and there is an urge to abandon the pit. O__O"...
