After searching for a long time, Zhu Yan Hua finally learned that such a plant might exist in the Violet Volcano Valley of the Azure Dragon Mountains.
However, all the Ink Spirit Grass had since been destroyed by Ironclad Lizards.
By the time the Ink Spirit Grass grew back, the grass on Zhu Yan Hua's grave would probably already be a meter tall.
"It's useless?"
"Indeed, some things caused by Phantom Beasts are hard to deal with!"
"But that doesn't mean there's no way. I'll recommend someone to you!"
"There's a young man in our village, Xiao Xuan. He's also a Beast Master, and he has a Phantom Beast that can heal all kinds of injuries!"
"The elderly in our village, big and small ailments, have all been cured by him!"
Uncle Zheng recalled how Little White had once healed Dirui Ji's curse.
Hearing Uncle Zheng's words, Zhu Yan Hua smiled helplessly to herself.
Big and small ailments.
The Ink Spirit Fire Affliction was no ordinary ailment.
It was true that all healing-type Phantom Beasts could treat minor human illnesses and injuries.
But this was Banyoula's Ink Spirit Fire Affliction.
Even many Platinum Rank Beast Masters in Gu Zhou City were helpless against it.
Could she rely on a Beast Master from this remote village?
It wasn't that Zhu Yan Hua looked down on the village's Beast Master.
It was simply that she couldn't believe anyone could resolve the Ink Spirit Fire Affliction on her body.
The only way was to find the Ink Spirit Grass.
"It's useless. My injury can't be healed by a healing Phantom Beast. Only a special spirit grass can treat it!"
Thinking this, Zhu Yan Hua refused.
"Girl, how do you know if you don't try?"
"Come on, I'll take you to Xiao Xuan's house!"
In the end!
Zhu Yan Hua couldn't bring herself to reject Uncle Zheng's kindness, so she followed him toward the Holy Dragon Dojo.
"It's useless anyway, but I'll go take a look and let Uncle Zheng give up on this idea!"
"The old man means well for me. I can't let his kindness go to waste!"
Thinking this, Zhu Yan Hua felt at ease.
Chapter 35: The Heavenly Dao Faction Sets Their Sights on Holy Dragon Village
"It looks like there's no problem now!"
Inside the Holy Dragon Dojo!
Chen Xuan did not show himself.
Instead, he secretly had the Field King Frog handle the matter.
"It seems that dangerous Phantom Beasts occasionally invade the village!"
"I need to set up some Phantom Beasts in the village to protect everyone!"
If he was in the village normally, it would be fine.
But according to the system's prompts, he would often be away.
What if, while he was gone, a powerful Phantom Beast came to the village? That would be trouble.
"What's going on? He looks sick!"
In Lotus Well Village!
Inside a house.
A young man was covered in black mist.
His whole body was weak.
His eyes were red, like the eyes of some strange creature.
Rats!
Yes, those eyes looked just like a rat's.
"Go call the village doctor to come take a look!"
The elder shouted.
At first, when he saw his son, the boy was just a little tired.
But!
In less than a day, his body had already begun to undergo massive changes.
He was utterly listless, as if all the vitality had been drained from him.
Not long after!
The village doctor rushed over in a hurry.
Yet!
Soon, he shook his head again.
"I've practiced medicine for decades and never seen an illness like this!"
"Strange, truly too strange!"
"This isn't an ordinary sickness. He must have provoked some kind of Phantom Beast!"
"He was harmed by a strange Phantom Beast, and that's what turned him like this!"
The old physician said gravely.
"A Phantom Beast injury?"
"Old Wu, I recall your son is a student at some academy in the city, right?"
"Have him find a Beast Master with a healing-type Phantom Beast to take a look?"
"Please, no amount of money is a problem!"
"What are you saying, Old Xu? Your Xiao Shao has grown up right under my eyes, he's best friends with our Xiao Si. How could I let anything happen to him?"
"Don't worry, I'll definitely have him call a classmate over!"
"That would be wonderful! Thank you so much, Old Wu!"
"Hey, who are we to each other? Say no more!"
"How's the plan going?"
"Very smoothly. I believe within a month—no, a week—a single week will be enough to infect the entire village!"
"And once they catch the Plague Rat's plague, they won't last a month!"
"How is it? No traces left behind, right?"
"Relax, Brother Zhao. No one will ever find out. They'll just think it was an accident."
Beneath the tree on the hillside, Zhao Yifeng and Zhang Beiting wore faces full of sinister smiles.
Beside them, a large rat bared the same sinister grin.
