The energy fluctuation reappeared, entering the injured person's body like a drizzle.
This person had recently been bitten by a zombie; his canines hadn't come out yet, and he still had the aura of a living person.
However, within ten minutes at most, the corpse poison will spread throughout the body, at which point Kami would be unable to save the patient.
"Puff!"
A mouthful of foul blood spurted from his mouth, and his life force, which had been eroded by the corpse poison, began to slowly recover.
"I..."
As the weak voice rang out, those who had been driven away by Xu Long saw this and surrounded him again.
"A living Buddha! Save my son!"
"Please have mercy, young lady, and save my husband!"
The shouts, hoarse and desperate, were so heart-wrenching that they made one feel uneasy.
Zhao Ling'er was kind-hearted, so she continued to treat those who had not yet been killed by the corpse poison.
Xu Long stood protectively by his side and did not stop them.
He knew that talking was often useless; one had to be brutally beaten down by reality to wake up.
As the saying goes, digging a hole is easy, but planting a tree is difficult; the same applies to killing and saving lives.
With a swift stroke, a person dies, but bringing them back to life is a thousand times more complicated.
Time passed slowly, and more and more people gathered around, but only a handful were rescued.
On one hand, some people were suffering from the poison of corpses, their vitality fading away; on the other hand, Ling'er's power was limited, and she couldn't save many people.
"Who do you think you are, a living saint? You're a liar, a complete fraud!"
A woman held her husband's body, weeping uncontrollably.
This person is too severely poisoned; there's no saving him.
At this moment, it has become a zombie, struggling frantically on the wooden stake.
That's enough for today, we need a place to stay.
Xu Long spoke to the leader of the group.
After saving several people, Ling'er's strength was reduced by seventy or eighty percent.
She's pregnant and needs to rest.
"You've only saved a few people, and you already need to rest?"
The leader stopped Zhao Ling'er, his face full of flattery, but his actions were anything but friendly.
"I also have a nephew who's been poisoned, this is troublesome..."
laugh!
A faint voice rang out, the leader's expression froze on his face, and then his head hit the ground.
"Ah! Murder!"
"A monster! A monster!"
"She's not a living saint, she's a fraud!"
Amidst the chaotic shouts, those people looked at Xu Long Zhao Ling'er fear and resentment, but not a trace of gratitude.
"Husband, why is this happening?"
"A small favor fosters gratitude, a large favor breeds resentment. People are foolish, and their greedy and selfish nature cannot be changed. They can only see what's in front of them, and only their own suffering. If you truly want to save them, you need to conserve your strength and pull out the source of the corpse poison."
Xu Long waved to clear the road ahead and walked inside.
The town was desolate and lifeless. Xu Long led Zhao Ling'er to a more populated area and met the local doctor.
" Master Zhixiu abbot of the Jade Buddha Temple on the mountain, can cure corpse poison, but he has remained on the mountain and has not come down, and all those who went to find him have become monks."
The doctor was helpless; he was just an ordinary mortal, how could he possibly cure the corpse poison? He could only place his hopes on the old monk.
Unfortunately, Master Zhixiu was too wicked; those who went up the mountain were saved, but they all became monks.
"Let's go, let's go meet this Master Zhixiu."
Xu Long gave a signal and immediately began to fly on his sword.
He knew that the Red Ghost King, who caused all the disasters, was inside the General's Tomb, but to avoid being too abrupt by going directly to him, it was better to go through the proper procedures first.
The Master Zhixiu of the Jade Buddha Temple was not human, but a demon, a demon transformed from a Buddhist bead.
His name Little Stone, and his owner is Patriarch Bodhidharma. It was passed down after Bodhidharma's death and has been cultivated for 999 years.
Little Stone is very knowledgeable and knows many things that ordinary people don't.
"Amitabha!"
Upon seeing Xu Long and Zhao Ling'er ascend the mountain, Master Zhixiu was about to speak when Xu Long kicked him away.
Bang!
The once highly respected abbot of the Jade Buddha Temple revealed his true form: a bead the size of a walnut.
"Hero, spare my life! Hero, spare my life!"
Little Stone quickly begged for mercy, almost bursting into tears.
That was terrifying; they attacked without saying a word.
And his strength was so great that he was completely powerless to fight back.
"Husband, how did you know this abbot had a problem?"
Ling'er asked quietly.
"Just a guess!"
Xu Long smiled, then turned to Little Stone, "Do you know how these zombies appeared?"
" The Red Ghost King is hiding inside the General's Tomb, manipulating the Skeleton General to spread corpse poison, absorbing the life essence of mortals to cultivate. As long as the Skeleton General is killed, the zombie plague will be resolved. My strength is too weak; I can't defeat the Skeleton General, let alone the Red Ghost King. I can only protect some mortals within the Jade Buddha Temple."
Little Stone spoke very quickly, lest Xu Long get angry and kick him again.
"I see!"
Zhao Ling'er nodded. "Take us there quickly."
"Okay, okay!"
Little Stone nodded, then looked at Zhao Ling'er and said, "Since this benefactor has defeated me, then I will acknowledge you as my master."
"Hey, I'm the one who defeated you, shouldn't you acknowledge me as your master?"
Xu Long was a little shocked. Had he kicked the little guy and damaged his head?
"I don't care, this girl is my master now."
The Little Stone leaped up and landed in Ling'er's palm.
"Alright, let's go."
Xu Long sighed; thankfully, he still had Rice Bucket.
"Awoo!"
The Rice Bucket let out a long howl, gave Xu Long a deep look, and then gently licked Ling'er's hand.
Xu Long: "..."
Guided by Little Stone, the two people and the dog quickly arrived at the General's Tomb.
In the original storyline, Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Ling'er, Lin Yueru went there at night.
It was eerie and terrifying, filled with miasma.
Although it was broad daylight, the dense forest was still shrouded in a thin mist.
"This is miasma. If mortals inhale it, they will fall into a deep coma. You must... oh, never mind..."
Little Stone subconsciously offered a few words of advice before realizing just how terrifying the man next to him truly was.
"Be careful, there are a lot of zombies here."
Xu Long drew his Lulu Sword, and a fierce sword light shot out instantly.
The Mountains and Rivers Shatter!
Rumble!
Sword light flashed for thirty thousand miles, its murderous intent shaking the Kyushu!
Xu Long is still far from reaching the 30,000-mile mark, but he's more than capable of dealing with a few zombies.
Before these unfortunate souls could even crawl out of the ground, Xu Long blew up their bodies and the pits they were buried in.
The shattered limbs fell like hailstones, then were blocked by an invisible barrier of light.
" Rice Bucket, Ling'er, you two wait outside, I'll go down by myself. Oh, and give me the Little Stone."
Xu Long leaped into the entrance of the General's Tomb, and without uttering a single word, immediately began the killing spree.
"Who dares to disturb this general...?"
The Skeleton General's deep, hoarse voice rang out, and a coffin emerged from the ground.
laugh!
The coffin lid was lifted, and before the Skeleton General could even see who had broken in, he was struck by a sword.
