Chapter 299 Old Su was tricked
In the evening, Ning Daoran returned to the pharmacy.
"Mr. Xiaoning, you are finally back!"
After entering the door, he saw Su Chuanping. The master of the Su Family Martial Arts School was no longer as calm as before. He said angrily: "Thank you, Mr. Xiao Ning, for saving Mei'er's life. Many disciples in the Martial Arts School were killed by monsters. If If you hadn't come to the rescue, I'm afraid Mei'er..."
"Huh?"
Ning Daoran looked surprised: "What's wrong with Miss Su? I didn't save her. I just came back from cutting meat from the mountains."
"What?"
Su Chuanping was shocked: "You really didn't save me?"
"Master Su, I told you everything."
Chi Susu said helplessly: "It was a woman who rescued Su Mei and sent her to the medicine shop to rest. My young master had gone out early this morning and has just come back..."
"Oh, that's it..."
Su Chuanping looked confused.
"Master!"
At this time, several more disciples from the Su Family Martial Arts School walked into the medicine shop. One of them was Chi Haoran. He cupped his fists and said, "Someone just returned from the mountains and said that they found Senior Brother's disciple token from the Su Family Martial Arts School in a cave. There is a pile of ashes nearby, and it is suspected that the senior brother has been plotted.”
"Huh?"
Su Chuanping staggered, and cold sweat broke out on his face. Too many things happened today. More than ten disciples were killed by monsters. He no longer knew how to explain to the families of these disciples. Later, Su Mei fell into a coma in the mountains and was rescued. Back then, the most proud disciple Zhong Liang actually died in the mountains again...
Too many things happened, Lao Su had to slow down.
"Dad..."
At this time, Su Mei's voice came from the back room. She looked slightly haggard, which was a sign of waking up from the drug.
"Mei'er, you finally woke up!"
Su Chuanping was overjoyed: "What do you think?"
Su Mei rubbed her temples: "My head hurts...I seem to remember some things, but I can't remember clearly..."
Speaking of this, Su Mei suddenly burst into tears: "Dad, senior brother drugged me and wanted to harm me. Later, a senior came to rescue me, and then I fell into a coma..."
"What?!"
Su Chuanping looked in disbelief: "Zhong...Zhong Liang has always been very honest, how could...how could he do such a thing?"
Ning Daoran shook his head, a little speechless. The straightforward Lao Su was so straight-tempered that he didn't bend at all. Of course Zhong Liang's gentleness and honesty in front of you was just an act. Could it be that he stuck out his tongue and said with a perverted expression? What kind of true confession like "Lao Su, I will sleep with your daughter"?
"Brother Ning..."
Su Mei looked at Ning Daoran, and suddenly her face turned red: "I...I seemed to dream about you when I was in a coma, you..."
"Miss Su, just be okay."
Ning Daoran smiled and said: "So, what did you dream about me?"
"I..."
Su Mei was embarrassed to say, her face turned red, and she said: "No...it's nothing, Dad, there are so many things going on in the martial arts hall today. I just heard that many disciples died, so why don't you go back to the martial arts hall and sit in charge?" To prevent someone from causing trouble and destroying the martial arts hall.”
"Yes, yes!"
Su Chuanping immediately clasped his fists and said, "Brother Ning, let's go back to the martial arts gym first. We'll come and say thank you another day."
"Yeah."
Ning Daoran nodded and watched the people from the Su Family Martial Arts School leave.
He felt a little uneasy, feeling that things were not that simple.
……
That night, Ning Daoran stayed in the spiritual garden cave in the medicine shop, refining his body with the twenty-two layers of the Eternal Green Art. This was a process that accumulated over time and could not be slacked off.
Early next morning.
The street outside was unexpectedly quiet. In the past, there would have been vendors beating gongs and drums to sell breakfast, and it seemed that no one came out all night last night.
"Whoosh!"
Ning Daoran walked out of Lingpu Cave and suddenly felt that the air was full of gloomy things. It felt like the air was full of impurities after starting a car with an aging air-conditioning filter element, making it almost impossible to breathe.
"Squeak~~"
The moment he opened the door, he was even more shocked. Everything in front of him was pitch black. Something criss-crossed and looked like a spider web covered the door of the drug store. Clusters of spore-like spores also appeared on the ground and walls outside. The same black substance made the entire Ji City seem to be occupied by some kind of creature.
Ning Daoran was suddenly even more horrified when his spiritual consciousness was released.
A black mushroom that was at least a thousand feet high shrouded the entire Ji City!
The mushroom exuded extremely majestic vitality. From the top to the rhizome, long black vines stretched out in all directions to cover the entire Ji City. At this time, people finally appeared on the streets.
A man with a kitchen knife, with blood-red eyes and a stooped body, lowered his head and slashed at the door of a house.
Black hyphae grew out on his face and neck. The shape of the hyphae... looked very similar to many fungi on the mountain yesterday, and they seemed to be of the same species.
It's just that it's too scary for this kind of hyphae to grow on humans.
"Woooo..."
Another figure appeared at the street corner, an old man with the same blood-red eyes and a rickety body, just like the zombies in the previous movies, but his movements were more staggering. He walked towards the drug store step by step, whimpering: "Help...Help... …”
Ning Daoran frowned and searched with his spiritual consciousness. He found that the old man was extremely ill. His whole body was covered with hyphae. He no longer had a living body. He was hopeless. On the contrary, the fungi on his body must be contagious. , which is extremely harmful to living people. "Old man, I'm sorry."
Ning Daoran raised his hand and cut off the old man's head with a Jianjia Sword Technique, and then shot out a burst of Samadhi True Fire, burning the old man's body into a pile of ashes.
"Master..."
Looking at the scenes of half-dead people appearing on the street outside, Chi Susu's face turned pale: "This? What's going on..."
"Close the door!"
Ning Daoran flicked his sleeves and closed the door, followed by more than a dozen formations and more than forty restrictions, completely isolating the front yard of the medicine shop from the entire Jicheng.
This is an unusual matter and requires some advice.
He patted the storage bag lightly and said: "Come out, it's a meeting!"
Suddenly, Dabenlu, Xiaobai, Xiaoheizi, and Ning Xiaogui all walked out.
Chi Susu was startled.
Ning Daoran comforted him: "Susu, it's okay, we are all our own..."
"Oh..."
Chi Susu nodded. She had only seen a few of them, but she had never seen Mo Jiao and Gui.
"Xiao Bai, you are well-informed. Do you know what is outside?" Ning Daoran asked.
"Master Qi, he may be a kind of demon."
Xiaobai said softly: "When the slave family was young, they had seen a similar monster. It looked like a plant, but in fact it had extremely strong vitality, was extremely poisonous, and spread very quickly. Once the demonic energy takes over a place, it will turn it into a monster." into an environment similar to its own attributes.”
She frowned: "Young Master should have also seen the black mushroom in the distance. That should be the main body. This thing used the gloomy rain yesterday to drop the magic poison, and then used the fungi on the mountain and those bloody Mountain meat continues to spread the demonic poison. As of today, these demonic poisons have basically taken effect. Those who should be poisoned have been poisoned, and the entire people of Jicheng will become the flesh and blood of this monster."
"What now?"
Ning Daoran frowned: "Do you want to take action?"
"Better not."
Xiaobai shook his head and said: "Currently we still don't know what this monster is and what characteristics it has. Even if the master is highly skilled, what should he do if he is hit by the opponent's poison in a fight? So I think this is the best thing to do." You should observe it first to see the changes in this monster, and then cut it off after you have a deeper understanding.”
Chi Susu said: "Sir, there are many innocent neighbors and folks out there, and I'm afraid they will all suffer because of this disaster... Do we really not want to help?"
"No help."
Xiaobai immediately objected: "It's not worth sacrificing your entire life to save a few people's lives."
Xiao Heizi also shook his head: "No help!"
The green water turtle said in a low voice: "If it is really dangerous, then of course there will be no rescue..."
"Ouch~~"
The big stupid deer rubbed Ning Daoran's shoulder and said that he listened to his elder brother.
Ning Daoran smiled: "Five against one, no rescue!"
He also felt that there was no need to save him. He was already in danger. It was difficult to save himself, so why save others?
……
“Dong dong dong~~”
Soon after, a voice came from outside the door: "Brother Ning, help..."
It was Su Mei's voice.
"What's wrong?"
Ning Daoran opened the formation and saw Su Mei and Chi Haoran standing outside using a door panel to carry Su Chuanping.
She looked anxious: "Something happened in the city. We don't know what happened, but since last night, many disciples in the martial arts hall have been poisoned, and fungi have grown on their bodies. In the morning, even Dad There are also fungi growing on my body. We really don’t know what to do, so we wanted to come over and see if Brother Ning can do something.”
"Alas..."
Ning Daoran was a little helpless. Old Su had been tricked, and it was impossible not to save him at this time.
"Come in."
After opening the door, Su Mei, Chi Haoran and several Su family martial arts disciples were let in, and then the formation was activated again to cover up the entire store.
"Don't touch Lao Su."
Ning Daoran stretched out his hand, and a ray of Evergreen Jue mana surged out, wrapped around Su Chuanping's body and sent him into the inner room. Then he hit several restrictions to seal it tightly to prevent those black spores from being transmitted through the air.
He searched with his spiritual consciousness and determined Su Chuanping's current condition.
As expected of a martial artist in the middle stage of the Liquid Condensation Realm, Su Chuanping's physical body was indeed well-consolidated. After the poisoning, the fungi only grew near the chest and did not spread further, otherwise Su Chuanping would not have been able to escape death.
He cast an Evergreen Technique to help curb the spread of mycelium, but he was at a loss as to how to clear these hyphae. He couldn't just burn Lao Su with a fire. This would be too unethical.
"You have been staying at the drug store recently. Don't go out. There will be chaos outside." Ning Daoran said.
"Yeah!"
Su Mei nodded heavily.
……
A few days later, there was chaos in the city.
This spore poison seemed to be selective. Most people were poisoned, but a few people were not poisoned. For a time, a large number of bandits appeared in the city, robbing homes and food everywhere. Jicheng was completely reduced to an isolated and helpless city. City, countless people died on the streets!
