Chapter 428: Chapter 411 Angel’s Blood
“Selma, Miss Yevette.”
Tang Qi appeared before the two and spoke imdiately. He looked puzzled; Selma had already taken up the job at the school, but she was supposed to start officially tomorrow. Her early arrival now, bringing along Yevette, the elf archer he had t before, clearly ant sothing was amiss.
Indeed, the two had a matter of urgency, not even exchanging pleasantries.
Selma spoke first, her voice laced with a plea for help, “Mr. Principal, Grandma Moore is in trouble, can you please lend your aid?”
“Please!”
Yevette, along with Selma, pleaded, and was about to give Tang Qi a very solemn request gesture.
Tang Qi stopped the elf archer, pondered for a mont, recalled his unsettling feeling, and said slowly with a premonition flashing across his mind, “Take
there!”
…
Moore Town, deep within a dense forest.
Among towering ancient trees and tangled vines, there were several strange buildings made from fallen giant trees, soil, flowers, plants, and feathers, resembling hos that natives might have lived in before civilization, known as “Nature’s Embrace”.
However, due to the extraordinary elents added by the Moore family, these buildings exuded an imnsely harmonious and natural aura.
Not comparable to Selma’s “treehouse,” but more primitive, fitting for the profession “Wilderness Favored” practiced by the Moore family.
Suddenly, at this mont.
A shadow accompanied by an arrow of fog surged without precedence.
Tang Qi and the two others, along with the concealed Night Beast, appeared here.
Without delay, upon returning to their ho, the look of urgency on Yevette’s face deepened, indifferent to the gender differences, she peeked at Tang Qi with eyes full of pleading and hope, dragging him towards the central room.
Soon, as Tang Qi’s gaze crossed the Moore family’s assembly and landed on Grandma Moore, who was lying on a simple bed,
He instantly understood the aning behind Yevette’s eyes and why she had co to seek his help.
What he saw now was not an old woman sick or “mutating,” but rather like a corpse.
Not long ago, he had t her. They had attended a dinner together, leaving a deep impression on Tang Qi. Now, she lay there, with waves of intense malodor continuously emanating from her body, overpowering the sll of dicinal herbs filling the room.
Not only this, but the exposed skin all over her body showed rotting wounds; the Moore family had already applied dicine, but it seed futile.
She kept her eyes tightly closed, her chest rising and falling violently, her breathing creating an extrely oppressive atmosphere.
“Weak, yet strong?”
The first impression flashed through Tang Qi’s mind.
Confusion and horror soon followed.
“What happened?”
Before seeing this scene for himself, it was hard for Tang Qi to believe.
Grandma Moore, being a favored by the wilderness, especially skilled in healing secret dicines, didn’t need those dicines herself. The favor from the wilderness’s will ant she didn’t have to worry about poisons, pollution or similar forces.
Her helpless state suggested a dire change had occurred.
Selma bringing Yevette for help indicated her desperation. Besides believing I could offer valuable insights as a polymath, there might also be hopes of involving the Ancient Castle Bureau and the Church through
if I failed.
While Tang Qi was pondering, a young man wearing glasses and a denim jacket spoke up, “Mother said recently there have been anomalies in the forest. The wilderness will sent her a signal for help. She went out last night to investigate and ca back like this, only leaving the words ‘the wilderness is sick’ before falling into a coma.”
“The wilderness is sick?”
These sowhat absurd words suddenly made Tang Qi very alard.
The young man nad Gast, the eldest of the Moore family, even in the face of his mother’s near-death state, maintained sufficient composure, unlike his siblings who were panicking. He continued, “Neither the secret dicines left by mother, nor those prepared by Selma, are having effects on her. It seems sothing inside her is blocking the effects of the dicines and continuously corrupting her body.”
“Mr. Principal, please help my mother at all costs. The Moore family will be forever grateful. This is a promise from the Wilderness Favored.”
“Please.”
Having said that, Gast completed the solemn ritual that Yevette hadn’t finished earlier.
Tang Qi couldn’t stop him; several thoughts flashed through his mind, and he didn’t hesitate any longer.
He had a good impression of the Moore family, especially Grandma Moore, a wise old woman worth establishing a cooperative relationship with.
“Sigh”
His gaze completely focused on the rapidly decaying old woman, whose condition had significantly mutated from their last encounter, quickly forming a specific visual.
“Extraordinary Creature: A severely injured wilderness favored on the brink of death, due to a deadly pollution, she is in extrely perilous condition. The favor from the wilderness is blocked, and unless the pollution source within her is removed, all healing efforts are futile.”
“Pollution source?”
Muttering to himself, Tang Qi stepped forward to the old woman’s side.
Without hesitation or disgust, his palm landed directly on the back of her hand, which was beginning to rot.
In an instant, the Body Control Spell was cast.
The next mont, Tang Qi also felt a shocking scene explode in his mind.
“A body in the final stages of illness!”
Tang Qi saw, beneath the skin covered in rot, the muscles were festering, and what flowed in the veins was no longer bright red blood but pus mixed with filth. The internal organs were gradually shrinking, seemingly soon to advance towards the marrow and skull…
But bizarrely, her heart was still beating vigorously, “thump thump thump”.
Even stronger than any young person’s heart.
It was a heart that had swollen by nearly one-third in size, covered in thick blood vessels; disgusting pus was “gurgling” within, emitting a strange and intense offensive scent continuously.
“A completely rotten body, logically, she should have been dead, but because of a bizarre heart, she seed to still possess the power to move, and once she did move, her strength and speed would be terrifying.”
While examining, Tang Qi reached a conclusion.
anwhile, his attention focused on the heart and her skull.
Inside the heart, there was a strange, almost living, red light.
And at the skull, there was a tender green glow, forming a fragile protective net, resisting the invisible bright red blood silk that tried to extend inside from below, those “blood silks” pervaded the old woman’s body.
The skull is the last defense, a proof that the old woman is still alive, and inside the heart should be the so-called “Pollution Source”, it had now completely taken over the body; no matter what Secret dicine entered, it would imdiately be encapsulated and broken down, ineffective.
“What would she beco if the skull were also occupied? A zombie? Or sothing else…”
A familiar sense of unease was now even more intense.
Grandma Moore’s state had nothing to do with poison or curse; it was more like a parasitic or terrible pollution incident, based on the words she left before falling into unconsciousness, it did not seem like an isolated incident.
“The lting Furnace Power is the natural enemy of all filth.”
While Tang Qi’s thoughts churned, a firm idea also flashed through his mind.
But he did not act imdiately; the pollution source occupied the heart, although he was confident of clearing it in one go, to spare the old woman from severe harm, he needed her cooperation.
After pondering for a mont, Tang Qi first cast “Red”, after entering the Fifth Rank this skill did not require eye contact, with the Body Control Spell as a dium, Tang Qi’s thoughts were transmitted to the defensive mind of the old woman.
After confirming there was no mistake, he signaled everyone to step back.
Then, a strand of Molten Magic refined through the Refining thod surged from Tang Qi’s palm and suddenly entered the old woman’s body.
“Sss~”
Almost imdiately, a collision began.
The old woman’s rotten entire arm, due to a strand of lting Furnace Power, began to slowly recover its vitality; the vast network of minute blood silks was instantly destroyed.
However, soon the blood silks rebounded, and that strand of lten Magic was extinguished.
But in the blink of an eye, a thicker stream of Light Flas surged in, sawing back and forth again.
Under Tang Qi’s control, the magic power surged like tidal waves, one wave after another, and the heart, from initially indifferent, began to beat more violently. The red light inside was almost bursting out; an unforeseen tumult suddenly occurred.
“Sss~vomit”
The previously calm lying old woman suddenly opened her eyes, letting out a scalp-numbing roar, and her mutated, withered claws fiercely reached towards Tang Qi.
“Now is the mont!”
At the sa mont, Tang Qi let out a low shout.
From the palm, lting Furnace Power burst like a breach into the old woman’s body, ruthlessly tearing apart all the network of blood silks, and a beam of red light fiercely departed the heart, trying to invade the skull, but what it t was a much tougher green protection than before.
In an instant, the old woman released all her magic power.
After hitting the wall, the red light had no choice but to turn and leave the old body, flying out through the throat, and then with a “pop”, it fell into a small glass bottle.
“All’s well, Granny is safe now.”
Tang Qi let out a sentence that imnsely delighted the Moore family; afterwards, his attention was completely captured by the item in the glass bottle.
On the smooth walls of the bottle, a dark red blood clot was “squirming”, countless hair-finer blood silks densely extended, covering all nooks and crannies in an instant, turning the clear glass bottle blood red.
An intense nausea, along with a hair-raising horror atmosphere, madly spread.
When he concentrated on it, the first burst of Information Fragnt plunged Tang Qi into an abrupt horror.
“Curio: Angel’s Blood…”
“Boom!”
The familiar na imdiately stirred up a terrifying storm in Tang Qi’s mind.
