The Western Region is vast and sparsely populated. Only when he entered here did Hai Long realize how naive he was. When he was in the Central Plains, he once thought that as long as he entered the Western Region, he would definitely find the small village where he was born and raised. However, when he got here, he knew
I was wrong. The territory of the Western Region is as large and vast as that of the Central Plains. Moreover, it is sparsely populated. Most people are like the village where he was originally, and they have no understanding of the outside world. When he was in the Central Plains, he could still do it.
He asked for directions, but when he got here, he could only explore on his own. Three days, three full days, the Western Region Plateau seemed to have no boundaries. He didn't even know now whether he was getting closer or further away from Lianyun Mountain.
.On this vast plateau, he felt so small.
The sun was shining fiercely on the earth. Because it was located on a plateau, the air was extremely hot during the day. If Hai Long hadn't had a certain amount of magic power, he might have been burned by the sun. He took out the water bag from the Qiankun Ring and took a sip.
Hai Long looked into the distance and complained secretly in his heart. He had already encountered four or five villages or tribes, but the result of his inquiry was that no one knew about Lianyun Mountain. Now that he had penetrated deep into the Western Region Plateau, although he could distinguish the southeast
Northwest, but he didn't know how to go on.
When Hai Long was confused, a figure came into his sight. The figure was moving forward slowly. Every few steps he took, he would inevitably fall. However, he would get up again and continue moving forward. He seemed to have some obsession.
As if supporting his body. Suddenly seeing a figure in this empty land, Hai Long couldn't help but feel happy. He floated up and walked towards the person. As he got closer, he could clearly see the person's face.
His appearance was that of a middle-aged man in his forties, who looked extremely embarrassed. His face was covered by a head of disheveled hair like weeds, and his clothes were as tattered as when Hai Long met the Yuhua sisters.
His exposed hands were covered with traces of sunburn, and his skin was as dry as a dead tree and cracked with fine lines.
Floating to the middle-aged man, Hai Long asked: "Uncle, what's wrong with you?" The middle-aged man's appearance had already inspired his compassion.
The middle-aged man suddenly raised his head when he heard the voice. Hai Long couldn't help but take a breath when he saw his appearance. The middle-aged man's face was covered with sores, and the dry yellow-brown marks looked extremely disgusting.
. There was no sparkle in his cloudy eyes. When he saw Hai Long, he suddenly shouted loudly: "Get away, get away quickly, stay away from me."
Hai Long was stunned, then subconsciously stepped back and asked tentatively: "Uncle, what's wrong with you? Is there anything I can do for you? I have water and food here."
The middle-aged man's body trembled, and he shouted in his hoarse voice: "No, no, get out of here, get away from me, I don't need your help. Get out of here."
The voice was full of desolation. Seeing his miserable condition, Hai Long couldn't help but think of his previous experience of being oppressed. He could no longer care about hiding his body. He strode up to the middle-aged man and reached out to grab him. The middle-aged man
The man seemed to have seen something terrifying, and his body retreated sharply, but he was obviously very weak. He staggered and fell to the ground. Hai Long's grasp naturally failed.
"Don't touch me, stay away from me, do you want to die?" The middle-aged man's voice became more and more shrill.
Hai Long said doubtfully: "Uncle, I have no ill intentions, I just want to help you! In this vast land, if you continue walking, you will die."
There was a trace of desolation in the middle-aged man's eyes, and he murmured: "Death, yes! Death, I just want to die! Please stay away from me. I have been infected with corpse poison, which is very contagious. I
I can't harm you. If you are infected, you will become like me. Leave me alone and get out of here quickly."
"Corpse poison? Is it poison on the corpse? Uncle, can you tell me what's going on? Maybe I can save you. I won't go, so I'll just listen here. Here, drink some water first. Don't worry.
, this water bag is given to you, I have many more, you don’t have to mind." With that, he threw his water bag over.
Perhaps feeling Hai Long's heartfelt sincerity, the middle-aged man seemed to be much calmer. He was indeed thirsty. He grabbed the water bag and drank it. Half the bag of water quickly entered his stomach. The sound of gasping gradually gradually
Calmly, the middle-aged man moved his body back a few times, glanced at Hai Long gratefully, and said, "Young man, thank you. You are a good person."
It was the first time that Hai Long heard someone calling himself a good person, and a strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart. He was not a nosy person, but his memories were brought back by the middle-aged man before, so he made up his mind to help him.
. Smiled slightly and said: "Uncle, tell me what's going on. I'm not an ordinary person. Maybe I can really help you." In order to show his power, Hai Long waved his left hand and used Blood Bagua to send out
A burst of red energy suddenly blasted a shallow pit a foot or two deep on the ground not far away.
The middle-aged man looked at Hai Long in surprise and said: "You, what are you doing? Well, I'm going to die anyway, so I'll just tell you. But you have to promise me that after listening to my story,
, immediately use the light you just emitted to knock me into the pit, and then bury me with soil. If possible, it is best to burn my body with fire first."
From the middle-aged man's tone, Hai Long heard his fear of corpse poison, and said noncommittally: "You tell your story first, and then I will naturally help you."
The middle-aged man pulled down his hair to cover the terrifying face, and said hoarsely: "My name is Sha Si, and I am originally from a small tribe dozens of miles away from here. We make a living by grazing on the plateau of the Western Regions.
, although we live in poverty, we live a very happy life. I have a beautiful wife and two sons, one is 23 years old and the other is 17 years old. They are my greatest pride. However, our family's happy life is not
It was ruined a few days ago. That day, my eldest son didn’t come back from grazing for some reason until very late. When he came back, his face was gray and blue. I thought he was tired at the time, so I didn’t pay much attention.
After he came back, he was acting silly all the time and went to rest without eating. A terrible thing happened in the middle of the night. A scream woke me up from my sleep. The scream came from the tent of my two sons.
When I came out, my wife and I hurried over. I saw a terrifying scene. My eldest son grabbed the younger son's body with force. He didn't know when he had grown fangs and bit his brother's throat hard. He
The skin on his face had ulcerated and yellow liquid was constantly dripping. The little son who was bitten had already passed away when I arrived. I was terrified at the time and had no idea what was going on, while my wife shouted loudly.
I shouted for help. My eldest son stood there, staring blankly at me. Under my wife’s shout, the chief and the people from the tribe rushed over. The chief was well-informed. As soon as he saw my eldest son,
From the look on his face, you knew he was poisoned by corpse poison. Corpse poison is extremely terrifying, and it has contagious properties. In our tribe, the relationship between everyone is very good, and no one knows how to deal with this matter. My wife loves it
I was so eager that I rushed into the tent and called my eldest son's name tearfully. Suddenly, my eldest son rushed towards his mother. No one came to stop me, and he had already bitten my wife's throat. My heart breaks.
Broken, at that moment, my heart was broken. I was in so much pain, my home, my home! I knew that everything was over. I picked up a wooden stick and hit my eldest son hard.
I hope he can let go of my wife. During the fight, my eldest son bit my hand, and my wife had already died. I had practiced some moves before, and I still had some strength, so I used all my abilities to do it.
After finally tying up the eldest son, I knew that if he continued to go crazy, I'm afraid the entire tribe would be destroyed in his hands. At this time, the younger son's dead body also began to twitch, as if he was about to turn into a zombie.
For the sake of the tribe, I had only one choice. I gritted my teeth, tied my two sons and my wife together, and set their bodies on fire with my own hands. You know, the best way to deal with zombies is to completely kill their bodies.
Destruction. The fire devoured all my relatives, my teeth were bleeding, my whole body was twitching, and my heart was bleeding! It was only at this moment that I discovered the bite wound on my hand.
, I knew that I was also infected with corpse poison. In order not to hurt everyone, I wanted to rush into the sea of fire and go with my relatives. However, everyone refused to let me die and pulled me hard. The chief also
He comforted me, saying that if he was only bitten a little, nothing might happen. However, I knew he was just comforting me. As long as the corpse poison is contaminated a little, it will immediately spread throughout the body. Although I am not dead and I am still conscious, I
It was impossible to get rid of the corpse poison on my body. The next day, I ran out when no one was paying attention. I just wanted to run far away, and I didn’t want to hurt anyone! I hate that, I hate that so much.
The zombie that bit my eldest son to death was the one who destroyed our family. I have been out for three days and I don’t know why, but I’m not dead yet. Young man, kill me, kill me quickly. I’m in so much pain, help me.
End your life."
Hai Long's eyes flashed coldly, and he said in a deep voice: "Are there any zombies around your village? Could it be a ghoul? If it were an ordinary zombie, it would be impossible for your eldest son to return to the tribe after he was bitten.
It must be a ghoul. Hum, I will go back to the tribe with you and I will definitely help you kill that ghoul to avenge you." When he was in Lianyun Mountain, Hai Long once heard Ling Yuzi talk about ghouls. The so-called ghouls are actually
Human beings, but in order to pursue magic cultivation, they used specific methods to turn themselves into zombie-like creatures. However, they are intelligent. For ghouls, the anger of living people and zombie subordinates are their
With the help of this kind of evil cultivator, even people in the evil way despise fighting against them. The biggest advantage of practicing ghoul is that you can achieve a strong level of cultivation in just a few decades. Only the most evil people,
Only then would he choose this kind of cultivation method. Once the cultivation level of the corpse ghost reaches a certain level, it will inevitably cause the devastation of living beings and the spread of corpse poison, which is likely to bring devastating disasters to ordinary people. The story of Sha Si has touched Hai Long's heart.
Full of anger, he promised to avenge him regardless of the consequences. At this time, he did not consider whether his cultivation was enough to fight against the corpse.
Sha Si was stunned for a moment and murmured: "No, I can't go back. I have become like this now. If I go back, I will infect everyone with the corpse poison. I can't go back. Thank you, young man, if
If possible, just help me avenge you. If you go west from here, you can see our tribe. The corpse you mentioned may be nearby." After saying that, he grabbed a sharp piece of ground on the ground.
The stone pierced his own throat with force. Yellow-green liquid flowed out from the wound, and life quickly left Shasi's body bit by bit. Shasi looked at Hai Long, although he was about to leave this world, but he got
After receiving Hai Long's promise, there was a look of satisfaction in his eyes. With the hope of revenge, he had no regrets anymore. His body fell to the ground with a crash, and he went.
Hai Long stood there dumbly. In fact, he had enough time to stop Sha Si just now, but he didn't do that. Sha Si's body had been completely eroded by the corpse poison. Even if Taoist Master Jie Tian was here, he might not be able to save it.
He died. Moreover, what will happen if he survives? His most cherished relatives are all dead. Rather than letting him live alone, it would be better for them to meet each other underground.
A layer of faint cyan light appeared around Hai Long's body, and red light beams rushed out from the Blood Bagua one after another. Sha Si's body was buried deeply into the ground by Hai Long, and a new loess suddenly appeared on this vast plateau.
Above. Taking out the small iron rod from his arms, Hai Long took a deep breath, pushed his magic power to the limit, turned into a shadow and flew away in the direction pointed by Sha Si. There was a piece of crystal water droplets floating in the air.
.The water droplets fell on the loess and quickly seeped in. Everything returned to calm, with a gentle caress of majesty, bringing a bit of desolation. Perhaps, in a few years, plants will take root and sprout in this embryonic loess.
Sha Si's great sentiment of sacrificing himself for others will nourish them and thrive.
