A square room made of transparent crystal is fixed on the ground.
The room was very small, no more than ten feet vertically, so Shi Zhongxiu was locked and trapped in it.
Shi Zhongyu was lying outside the transparent crystal wall, looking at the brothers in the grid dreamily.
At this moment, Shi Zhongxiu has changed drastically. He is basically not much different from other Japanese zombies.
The body is hunched, the fingers and claws are sharp, and a bit of Shi Zhongxiu's past appearance can still be vaguely seen, with cruel eyes and drooling mouth.
There is not a single thread on his body, and no matter what he is put on, it will be torn to pieces.
At this moment, he was crawling around in the crystal room irritably, bumping into the crystal wall from time to time, and being repelled by the auras of rune patterns.
A roar came out through some holes in the crystal wall.
In the past two months, with the changes in his body, the time it took for him to regain consciousness became shorter and shorter.
There are only a few minutes in a day, and this time is getting shorter.
According to Shiraishi's estimate, Shi Zhongxiu will be completely infected and turn into a Japanese corpse in less than ten days.
Shi Zhongyu looked at Shi Zhongxiu, who kept roaring in the room, and did not feel any resentment towards Shiraishi Zhenren and others.
Over the past year, he and Shi Zhongxiu have been inseparable, and he can see how much Yiqizong has paid to save Shi Zhongxiu.
Not to mention how many heavenly materials and earthly treasures were consumed, even Zhenjun Jiuren often came over to use his magic to suppress Shi Zhongxiu's restless bloodline.
If not, Shi Zhongxiu might have been completely infected a few months ago.
Now, what bothers Shi Zhongyu the most is that he didn't come to the camp earlier.
According to the inspection results of Shiraishi Masato and others.
If Shi Zhongxiu had come to the camp immediately after being infected.
Perhaps Shi Zhongxiu can be saved before his bloodline changes.
With good materials like Shi Zhongxiu, and after countless tests and research, the cause of the formation of Japanese zombies was finally figured out.
In the final analysis, the mutation of the Japanese corpse still comes from the "spiritual mist".
'Aura' is a special kind of active vitality converted from the vitality of heaven and earth. This vitality is extremely easy to be absorbed by living beings.
Therefore, in the past few thousand years, a large number of Nascent Soul Lords have been born in the secret realm.
But this kind of overly active ‘spiritual energy’ also has huge drawbacks.
Its permeability to the blood vessels is too strong, which can cause instability in the blood vessels.
As the 'spiritual mist' invades the environment from generation to generation, human bloodline gradually becomes distorted.
Before being infected by the Japanese zombies, human blood can barely remain stable. Once there is interference from external factors, the blood will undergo alienation.
Once induced, it is easy for the bloodline to regress out of control, the mind to fade, and the person to become a monster who only acts on instinct.
Among them, this incentive is the most critical.
Shiraishi Zhenren and others worked hard to deduce the factors that caused the formation of Japanese corpses, but failed to find a solution.
At the last and most critical step, I got stuck.
The Japanese zombies will infect humans through biting, but the question arises, how did the first Japanese zombies form?
If we cannot find out the cause of the formation of the first sun corpse in the secret area, we will not be able to carry out targeted treatment.
Therefore, even if the crux of the Japanese zombie infection was found, Shiraishi and others still failed to find a way to treat the Japanese zombie.
A few days ago, Master Shiraishi found Shi Zhongyu and prepared to make a risky attempt on Shi Zhongxiu.
At this moment, looking at the distorted Shi Zhongxiu in the room, Shi Zhongyu's eyes were blurred.
The handsome, lazy, bright-eyed, resourceful Shi Zhongxiu who wants to marry eight wives will never come back.
"Ta-ta-!"
A burst of fast and steady footsteps came closer and closer.
Shi Zhongyu wiped his face and turned around.
What he saw were many Yiqi Sect monks with solemn expressions.
Shi Zhongyu's heart trembled, and he had a bad premonition.
Shiraishi walked to Shi Zhongyu and looked at Shi Zhongxiu who had basically lost his mind in the room.
To the jade in the stone:
"Zhongyu! Have you made up your mind?"
Shi Zhongyu trembled: "Do you really want to do this?"
Master Baishi nodded and said:
"Zhongxiu has basically lost his mind. While he is still alive..."
Shi Zhongyu's heart ached, and he clasped his fingers tightly together and begged:
"Can we wait until he is dead before we do anything?"
Blue Quinoa interjected:
"Just because he is still alive at this moment, he still has some value. If he dies..."
Shiraishi turned his head and shouted sharply: "Shut up!"
This blue quinoa is too ignorant and doesn't know what kind of occasion it is.
Then he said slowly to Shi Zhongyu:
"Zhongyu! There are still millions of Japanese corpses in the secret area waiting for treatment. Zhongxiu is our only hope.
If there is any other way, we are not willing to do it."
After a brief pause, he continued:
"I guess Zhongxiu is about to regain his consciousness. You can say goodbye to him one last time!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a hoarse cry was heard.
"Zhongyu!"
The slightly familiar voice shocked Shi Zhongyu. He turned around suddenly and threw himself against the crystal wall.
In the crystal room, Shi Zhongxiu was sitting on the ground looking at everyone, his ferocious face softened a lot, and his eyes became clear again.
"Zhongxiu—!"
Nowadays, the two of them only have a few minutes to communicate every day.
Shi Zhongyu looks forward to this time every day, but hopes that this moment will never come.
Shi Zhongxiu stretched out his sharp claws and brushed the few sparse hairs on his head, and then looked at his hands.
Sighing and smiling:
"It's so ugly. How can any little lady like this?"
Shi Zhongyu couldn't hold back any longer, tears burst into his eyes.
"Zhongxiu——!"
A layer of crystal water flashed across Shi Zhongxiu's eyes, and he smiled:
"Zhongyu! Don't be like this, you don't have to make people laugh."
Then he turned his head and looked at Shiraishi and said:
"One Yuan Shen Kung Fu, one acquired spiritual treasure, one magical power, one million gold talismans, and one hundred years of absolute safety.
As long as you agree to these, I will let you do whatever you want today."
Shi Zhongyu felt sad in his heart and shook his head repeatedly: "No, Zhongxiu, I don't want these."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Shi Zhongxiu sighed: "Zhongyu! This is all I can do, my parents at home depend on you."
Master Baishi shook his head and said:
"You have too many demands, and I can't do them."
Shi Zhongxiu said quickly:
"Then find someone who can do it. I don't have much time."
As he spoke, a trace of blood suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but start breathing heavily.
"Okay! I promise you!"
A flash of spiritual light flashed, and True Lord Lieyan appeared in front of everyone.
"Meet the Patriarch!"
Master Shiraishi and others quickly bowed and saluted.
True Lord Lieyan said to Shi Zhongxiu: "I agree to your conditions, and also put forward any other requirements."
Shi Zhongxiu gasped heavily and shook his head slightly. He was speechless.
"Let's do it!"
True Lord Lieyan ordered towards True Lord Baishi.
Master Shiraishi hesitated for a moment and said:
"What should I do with Jin Ting?"
Lord Lieyan was silent for a moment and then said:
"Send someone to tell her that if she wants to fulfill her promise, there is no need to stop her."
"yes!"
The aura of True Lord Lieyan disappeared.
Master Baishi breathed a sigh of relief and said to Lan Li:
"Go and do this!"
Lan Li's expression froze for a moment, then he lowered his head and said, "Yes!"
Shi Zhongyu looked at all this numbly, and suddenly said: "I'll go too!"
Yuan Jinting had promised herself back then, but he wanted to see if she would keep her promise.
Master Shiraishi glanced at him, nodded and said, "Go!"
Shi Zhongyu followed Lan Li out of the room. The moment he was about to go out, he couldn't help but look back.
I saw that Shi Zhongxiu had lost his mind again, roaring crazily, and then he was restrained by Shiraishi Zhenren's spiritual light rope and carried out.
Shi Zhongyu couldn't bear to look any further, turned around and quickly followed Lan Li away.
After leaving the alchemy room, Shi Zhongyu took a long breath and looked up into the distance.
The sun was shining faintly in the thin clouds. Although it could not penetrate the clouds, the sky and the earth were no longer dark.
In the past year, there have been many changes in the secret realm.
In addition to the violent turbulence of vitality between heaven and earth from time to time, the clouds in the sky, as dense as a curtain, gradually became thinner.
The spiritual mist around him became much thinner.
If the fog in the past was like heavy cotton, now the world is like a layer of light gauze.
Even without relying on a sunstone, you can clearly see dozens of feet away.
And the clouds and fog are getting lighter day by day.
Everyone in the secret realm had a vague premonition in their hearts.
Perhaps within a few years, the fog and clouds in the secret realm will dissipate, leaving the secret realm with a blue sky.
Looking at the faint white light on the horizon, Shi Zhongyu felt increasingly sad.
Zhongxiu told him more than once that he wanted to see the world without fog.
But this day is coming soon, but Zhongxiu will never have the chance to see it again.
Shi Zhongyu remained silent, lowering his head along the way, and followed Lan Li to a tent.
There were originally six people living in this tent, but now there is only one person, Yuan Jinting.
This was the first time Shi Zhongyu saw Yuan Jinting since he carried Shi Zhongxiu into the camp.
But the person in front of him was somewhat unrecognizable to him.
He has white hair and is as skinny as firewood. Although his figure is tall and straight, he has the feeling of being in his twilight years.
If not, its appearance still retains some of its former appearance.
Shi Zhongyu couldn't believe that the woman in front of him was the dignified, pretty, gentle and jade-like Yuan Jinting.
At this moment, she was sitting on the futon, like a statue.
Sensing someone entering the tent, Yuan Jinting slowly opened her eyes.
"It's coming!"
The dry voice is like sand and gravel rubbing against each other.
Lan Li bowed her hands silently, with very complicated emotions in her heart.
Yuan Jinting turned her head slightly and glanced at Shi Zhongyu.
The tone is calm and authentic:
"Shi Zhongyu! I have a heavy responsibility and I couldn't help you and Shi Zhongxiu. Please forgive me."
After a brief pause, he continued:
"I once said that I would use my life to prevent others from taking action against Shi Zhongxiu.
As long as I am alive, I can guarantee Shi Zhongxiu's safety.
If I die, please don't blame me!"
The slight resentment in Shi Zhongyu's heart had dissipated without a trace when he saw Yuan Jinting's appearance.
In fact, he also knew in his heart that if it were not for Yuan Jinting, Shi Zhongxiu would not be alive today.
Looking at the skinny Yuan Jinting, Shi Zhongyu said:
"Zhongxiu's matter has nothing to do with you. Master Shiraishi and the others have tried their best."
