Chapter 502: Inquiry about the origin

Under Yichen's questioning, Tao Shuyao hesitated for a while and seemed to speak reluctantly.

At the foot of Hengdi Mountain, there is a small village surrounded by mountains and almost isolated from the outside world.

There are less than 500 villagers living in this village, and they make a living by farming.

Due to the barren land and very little production, I often go to Hengdi Mountain to pick some wild fruits to supplement the lack of food.

During the slack season, a group of strong villagers will be organized to hunt wild animals on nearby mountains as a source of meat.

These villagers rarely practice, and most of them are at the level of a warrior. Occasionally, a war supervisor appears, and they can basically become the leader of hunting.

However, their people are strong and mainly hunting ordinary beasts and a small number of low-level monsters with strong physiques and hunting skills.

The villagers stayed in the village all their lives, stayed at peace and lived a poor and simple life.

Hengdi Mountain outside the village has high mountains and dangerous roads. It is said that in the early years, someone tried to set foot in the outside world, but all of them went but never returned, and no one succeeded.

The failed attempts made the villagers gradually give up the idea of ​​communicating with the outside world and slept step by step at sunrise and sunset. Although they were not rich, they were safe.

However, an accident fifteen years ago broke the peace of the small village.

After half a month of hard work, the villagers who went out to hunt brought back a lot of animal meat, especially hunting and killing several unknown small animals.

The little beast meat is tender and delicious, and after eating it, the teeth and cheeks remain fragrant. The hunting warriors praised it all the time. They drank a big bowl of wine and ate the meat, which was as lively as the New Year.

Unexpectedly, before everyone could have time to reminisce, many people fell ill inexplicably.

The villagers went to the mountain to find various medicinal materials. After a period of treatment, they finally saved their lives.

"Life has been saved, but the trouble has just begun." Tao Shuyao sighed softly, feeling very heavy.

Those patients seem to have recovered, not only can they perform normal farming work, but also have a lot of energy and are more brave than before when hunting.

However, some strange small bumps gradually grew on their bodies, which did not hurt or itch at first, and did not prevent them from working.

Over time, the small lumps grew to the size of soybeans, filled with poisonous water, crystal clear and shiny, accompanied by an unbearable itch.

Not to mention scratching hard, just a light touch, the small bumps will be broken and the poisonous water inside will flow out.

Where the poisonous water flows, new small bumps will grow in less than two days. Even if the moisture is dried in time, it will be difficult to prevent the growth of new bumps.

In this way, less than half a month, my body was covered with big and small bumps, densely packed.

Even if you hold back and scratch, it is difficult to avoid your own collision. By this time, it is no longer as simple as toxic water flowing out.

Many bumps are interconnected, forming larger bumps filled with poisonous water, lifting up the patient's skin layer by layer until it ulcerates.

Although after itching and painful torture, the body has become ragged and has lost appetite, the patient will not die in a short period of time.

What’s even more terrifying is that the family members who live with patients are at risk of being infected at any time.

Huge fear enveloped the entire village, and both patients and healthy people were in panic all day long.

He devoted everyone's efforts to pick all the herbs in Hengdishan area, as long as they thought they might be useful.

Continuous attempts and failures, no patient successfully escaped from the erosion of poisonous sores, and slowly began to die.

Until one day, an outsider who occasionally passed Hengdi Mountain and entered a small village took out some odor-shaped powder, claiming that he could cure the patient.

At first, no one believed that the vigilance and resistance to outsiders made the villagers in the small village rather endure the torture of poisonous sores than receive treatment.

The outsider was furious and took advantage of the villagers' unpreparedness to abduct a patient whose body was decayed and was about to die.

The angry villagers gathered all the young and middle-aged people who had not yet been infected with poisonous sores, searching for the whereabouts of the patients, but found nothing.

Surprisingly, three days later, the patient returned to the small village. The poisonous sores were gone, and the ulcers in his body were completely healed, just like before the poisonous sores were infected.

When the villagers were surprised, they found out that the medicine powder was carried by outsiders and had magical effects.

Not only did the patient be cured, but the medicine powder was generously given away to save the poisonous sores in the entire village.

No matter how serious the patient is, just sprinkle the powder gently on the affected area, without too much, and does not need to undergo special treatment.

Within one day, the water is collected and scabbed is formed, and the area of ​​trauma will no longer be expanded. The pain and itch will gradually fade and the appetite will increase greatly.

Two days later, scabs fell off at the ulceration, and new skin grew, and the patient recovered.

A small bottle of seemingly inconspicuous medicine powder saved the lives of hundreds of people in the entire village.

"Isn't such a medicine a magical medicine?" Tao Shuyao glared at Yi Chen fiercely, as if mocking Yi Chen's ignorance.

The crisis was resolved and almost all the magical medicines given by outsiders were used up. While the villagers were glad that they survived the disaster, they also felt deeply grateful to the outsider who had already left.

As time goes by, the villagers gradually forgot the poisonous sore storm that almost swallowed up the entire village more than ten years ago.

But just this year, the poisonous sores that had disappeared for a long time actually came to this small village again.

The villagers quickly took out the magical medicine stored in the village office to treat the patients in order to quickly cure them and prevent them from spreading.

It was not until I opened the bottle cap that I found that the inventory of magical medicine was basically exhausted. Even if the bottle was broken and all the powder attached to the bottle wall was not enough to truly cure the patient.

Apart from barely saving the patient's life and slowing down the spread of the poisonous sores, it cannot be completely cured.

In desperation, the patient who was abducted by an outsider fifteen years ago suddenly remembered one thing, that is, when he was recovering, he had asked outsiders about the source of the magic medicine.

Outsiders also generously informed the main ingredients of the medicinal powder, as well as the growth environment and distribution of medicinal materials, and the best time to pick...

"Are you sent to find this magical medicine?"

Yichen really had no intention of listening to Tao Shuyao's nagging, so he interrupted coldly.

What Tao Shuyao said, no matter whether it is exaggerated or not, is not important to Yichen.

The so-called poisonous sores can be cured by just finding some herbs that can collect water. Even if there are no mushrooms in the morning and evening, the villagers will not die.

"Yes... I didn't say anything about you, how did you know?"

Tao Shuyao rolled his eyelids hard and made a shocked expression as much as possible.

I originally wanted to keep an eye on it and show off my ability in front of Yichen, but who knew that before the story was finished, I was told by Yichen. Tao Shuyao was shocked and a little depressed.

"I want to know when you got out of the first level and when you got into the second level."

Yichen clearly saw that Tao Shuyao was one of the first batch of people to enter the first level.

However, no matter whether it was the strong wind or the stone wall gate, there was no Tao Shuyao.

Especially after Yichen used the barrier to control the killing bee swarm, the exit of the first level was revealed.

All the trialists who passed the first level entered the cave entrance from Yichen, and Tao Shuyao was not among them.

With Tao Shuyao's two meters tall body and unique dead branches, even if he deliberately hides, he will be unable to escape Yichen's eyes.

What's more, the entrance of the cave was not big, and Tao Shuyao was so thriving that he could not move so quickly that no one noticed it.

Also, many trialists were guided by strange sounds and ghosts, and fought each other. Although the light in the trial passage was dim, Yichen was sure that Tao Shuyao was not among them.

In the first level, I saw him in, but I didn’t see him out. In the second level, I didn’t see him in, but appeared at the end of the corridor again.

Who is this Tao Shuyao?

"Hehe... I didn't expect you have always cared about me, why?"

Tao Shuyao seemed a little surprised. He helped Yichen clear the siege to avoid being punished by the rules of Xinge's murderous aura trial field. Even if Yichen is grateful, there is no need to worry about it all the time.

Thinking about the way Yichen was circling around him just now, Tao Shuyao always felt something was wrong, and now the monk was even more confused.

Could it be that this kid has any intentions for him...

"Hmph...I care about you, I think beautifully!"

Looking at Tao Shuyao's vulgar expression, Yichen was so angry that he kicked the other person's thigh with his feet and said fiercely:

“Answer my question!”

"Don't hit me, I'll tell me." Tao Shuyao was trapped by Yichen with a barrier and could not avoid it. The pain on his thigh made him beg for mercy quickly.

According to Tao Shuyao, after entering the first level, he also encountered a strong wind, but he was lucky and was not involved and thrown out.

Later, Yichen reminded the trialists to walk along the front of avoiding the strong wind on both sides, and Tao Shuyao mingled among the many trialists and walked carefully through the trial passage.

Like most trialists, he also entered through the stone wall gate, but avoided the attack of the murderous bee swarm.

"When I came out of the cave, you were still helping the trialists who were stung by the murder bees."

Tao Shuyao was afraid that Yichen would not believe it, so he continued, "You are above and accepting hundreds of trialists kneeling down, but I quietly entered the second level early."

"Wait... why haven't you been attacked by the killing bee swarm?"

Since Tao Shuyao knew about the trialists who were stung by the murderous bee, it means that he was indeed near Yichen, which further added Yichen's doubts.

"This..." Tao Shuyao looked at it secretly and saw Yichen looking forward to it.

After hesitating for a while, Tao Shuyao used an extremely slight voice, as if he was talking to himself: "I can be invisible in the first level, but the murderer bee can't see me at all."
