As a result, the five of them walked together, Ma Zhong, Qiu Hongye and Ye Qiuxiang walked in front, Xiao Li and Shui Qingwei followed behind, and set off in the direction of Golden Scales together.

Along the way, the atmosphere was quite solemn, with few words, but they were all peaceful. Not long after, the group came to a fork in the road and stopped here.

Qiu Hongye was quite familiar with the surrounding environment, and he said to everyone: "You can take a shortcut to the left, but the risk is also great, you have to pass through a demon domain, and the right side is the Sunshine Avenue, but it is tortuous and circuitous, and the road has increased by more than half, which side are you going to take?"

"Senior Qiu, you are injured, so you should take a relatively safe road, right?" Ma Zhong proposed.

Ye Qiuxiang said: "I don't care. ”

"Okay, then we'll go this way. Qiu Hongye pointed to the intersection on the right and went out first.

Xiao Li didn't say a word, and silently followed with Shui Ling.

The group walked non-stop for most of the day, and seeing that it was getting late, they planned to find a place to rest for the night. At this time, you can already see red bricks and green tiles not far away, like a village, strangely there is no smoke to be seen, more like a ruin.

"There seems to be a village in front of us where we can stay. Ye Qiuxiang pointed ahead and said.

"Wait a minute!" Ma Zhong stretched out his right hand to signal everyone to stop, he looked around intently, and said vigilantly: "It's already the time to hold the lamp, why is no one lighting the lamp, not even a little cooking smoke? Moreover, there is a heavy demonic aura in the air...... I'm afraid that there is already a dead village in front of me. ”

"What do you mean...... Everyone in the village is dead?" Ye Qiuxiang said in amazement.

"I'm afraid yes......" Ma Zhong nodded solemnly, "We have to be careful, it's better to wait for me to go over and explore the way and see the situation." ”

"I'll go with you!" Ye Qiuxiang immediately requested.

"No, you stay with Qiu-senpai, I'll be back soon. Ma Zhong finished speaking and was about to leave.

At this moment, a strange figure suddenly appeared on the main road, staggering from a distance.

"There's someone ahead!" Ye Qiuxiang hurriedly shouted and clenched the sword in his hand.

Through the dim light of the sky, everyone could see the face of the figure clearly. It turned out to be a young man dressed as a villager, this person's face was terrifyingly pale, his face was bruised, his expression was distorted, and he walked step by step, like a marionette, and was emitting a low and strange cry for help from his throat: "Help...... Help me...... I'm so uncomfortable......" he said as he staggered towards the group.

"What's wrong with this person?" Ye Qiuxiang asked as she stared at the strange man in horror.

"He's probably going to mutate. Qiu Hongye suddenly said.

The rest of the people didn't quite understand what Qiu Hongye meant when they heard this, they just watched quietly, and the expressions on their faces were all the same, somewhat frightened.

But when he saw that the strange man took a few more steps, his body suddenly convulsed, and then his head exploded like a watermelon smashed by a heavy hammer, and a centipede-like head came out of his body, which was twisting and dancing in the air, which was shocking.

Ye Qiuxiang gasped and couldn't help covering her mouth, she had rarely seen such a terrifying picture, this time it really made her feel an unprecedented sense of shock, and she panicked for a moment and stayed in place.

"This is ......" Ma Zhong felt that this scene was familiar, but with his experience, he could not immediately make a reasonable analysis of this amazing scene.

"It's a worm that lives inside the human body, I've seen it before. Qiu Hongye said calmly, "It seems that Brother Ma, your judgment is correct, the people in the village are indeed dead, and it is estimated that they have all become the living dead." It doesn't seem easy for us to choose this path!"

"If you come, you will be safe, let's get rid of these monsters first!" Ma Zhong immediately took off the "Flying Star Bow" behind him after speaking, and aimed the bow and arrow at the oncoming strange man with a centipede head.

"Remember not to be bitten by something like this, or the consequences will be terrible. Qiu Hongye hurriedly reminded, "I don't know if I will be assimilated by these things." ”

"I see!" Ma Zhong finished speaking, concentrating on his strength, and shot an arrow of light, straight at the monster's head.

There was a "crackle" explosion, the monster's head exploded in response, green blood splashed in the air, and the rest of the body slowly fell, and after a few convulsions, it didn't move.

Ma Zhonggang breathed a sigh of relief and slowly put down the bow and arrow in his hand, and at this moment, he was surprised to see dozens of wriggling insects burrowing out of the corpse lying in a pool of blood, and quickly pounced like a snake.

"Beware!" Ma Zhong hurriedly reminded his companion, and at the same time, he bent his bow and arrows again, shooting a rain of arrows at the snake-like insects.

Ye Qiuxiang's reaction was also very fast, and she raised her sword to defend herself as soon as possible, and cut the insects that flew over into several pieces.

Qiu Hongye swung his knife and shot out a fierce knife qi, swinging away the insects that came at him.

Xiao Li and Shui Qing, who were standing in the rear, should not be too threatened, but in fact this is not the case. It turned out that those insects were still alive like earthworms, broken into a few pieces, so Ye Qiuxiang's attack just now not only did not resolve the crisis, but doubled the danger.

Ye Qiuxiang also quickly realized his mistake, and immediately jumped up, grabbed a sword flower in the air, and used a move "White Wave Attack" to fall from the sky, and the sword qi was like a substance, and seven light swords poured down from the sky, attacking the dense insects on the ground.

Most of the insects couldn't withstand the attack of the sword qi, and they instantly attacked the scorched earth, but there were still a few survivors who chose to swim to Xiao Li and Shui Qing.

Shui Qing screamed in fright, and hurriedly took a few steps back, Xiao Li's eyes were quick, and he shot out several flames early, burning those "insects that slipped through the net" into charcoal, and resolved this sudden crisis.

At this point, all the bugs have been removed, and everyone is relieved.

Afterwards, Ma Zhong hurriedly came to Ye Qiuxiang's side and asked with concern, "Miss Ye, are you okay?"

"I didn't ...... It's okay......" Ye Qiuxiang responded casually, looking a little absent-minded, and her expression was slightly strange.

"It's okay. Ma Zhong didn't pay much attention, slowly turned to look in the direction of the village, and continued: "I don't know what happened here, where did these insects come from?"

Qiu Hongye said: "I think we should take a detour! This place has been polluted, and with our current ability, we can't purify this land at all, so we can only leave it to those capable people to clean up the mess." ”

"Senior Qiu, what the hell is going on?" Ma Zhong asked in surprise, "Are we just ignoring it and letting this plague spread?"

"Someone will definitely deal with it. Qiu Hongye said, "But it's definitely not us, it's beyond our reach, and we don't have to feel guilty." ”

Although Ma Zhong wanted to solve this matter completely, he was not sure whether he asked himself, so he had to turn his heart and say, "Okay, anyway, let's get out of here first!"

So, the group had to turn back and take another road to Jinlan.

"Brother, I'm so hungry......" Shui Qing only felt dizzy with hunger, she hadn't eaten for almost a day, so she couldn't help but say it.

In fact, the rest of the people were also so hungry that they were close to their backs, but they were all more bearable and didn't say it, and now Shui Qing's words represent everyone's hearts.

"There are no villages and towns nearby, so I can only hunt some game to satisfy my hunger. Qiu Hongye said.

Ma Zhong nodded immediately when he heard this, and said, "I think everyone must be very hungry, why don't you wait for me to go and hunt some game and come back and burn it together!"

"It's okay, then please Brother Ma. Qiu Hong also bowed slightly.

"I'll go with you. Xiao Li said to Ma Zhong.

Ma Zhong glanced at Xiao Li when he heard this, and he didn't object, and said, "Then let's come together!"

The two were about to leave, when Ma Zhong suddenly noticed that Ye Qiuxiang's expression was not very good, so he walked up to her and asked, "Miss Ye, are you dizzy from hunger, why is your face so ugly?"

"I ...... I think I was bitten by a bug just now......" Ye Qiuxiang said slowly, her face looking very weak.

"What?" Ma Zhong exclaimed, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Qiu Hongye was also very shocked, and hurriedly rushed over and asked eagerly: "Where did you bite it?"

"It should be...... Biting the back......" Ye Qiuxiang said, subconsciously reaching out and gently pressing on his right buttocks.

Listening to Ye Qiuxiang's answer, except for Ye Qiuxiang herself, the rest of the people also showed a trace of embarrassment. Despite this, Qiu Hongye still made a decision immediately, and then said: "No matter where you bite, you have to deal with the wound quickly!"

"But, where can I find a doctor?" Ma Zhong said hurriedly, "We don't have any medicine ready." ”

"I have medicine here, take it and use it!" Xiao Li suddenly took out a medicine bottle from his body, stretched it out to Ma Zhong, and then said: "This is left to me by the master, it is better to treat wounds, and it can also eliminate all kinds of poisons." ”

Ma Zhong glanced at Xiao Li again, didn't think much about it, took the medicine bottle, and said, "Does this really work?"

"I can't vouch for it, but it doesn't matter, I hope it helps. Xiao Li said.

"Don't think about it so much, put a dress on her wound first, and then I'll use the method to detoxify her when I'm done. Qiu Hongye said.

When Ma Zhong heard this, his eyes slowly moved to Shui Qing, glanced at her hurriedly, and then said to Xiao Li: "Brother Xiao, can you trouble your sister to help with this? ”

Xiao Li nodded after hearing this, and said to Shui Qing: "Sister Qing, you can help this Ye girl put the medicine on!"

Shui Qing had always listened to Xiao Li's words, and immediately nodded in agreement.

"Leave the hunting to me......," Xiao Li said.

"Aren't you going together?" asked Ma Zhong.

"You'd better stay and take care of your friends!" Xiao Li said, "We're all gone, and I can't worry about my sister." ”

"Okay, then please. Ma Zhong agreed.
