218: Chapter 217: Reduced to a Useless Cat?
“What is this?”
Lu Zixun abruptly lifted his paws, staring at Wang Duli with full eyes of confusion.
It seed Xiong Kang’s speculation was correct.
The reason for Wang Duli’s sudden myocardial infarction was very likely the Crimson Moon.
After sharing the results of his Spiritual Energy investigation with Xiong Kang, Xiong Kang furrowed his brows.
“Crimson Moon?
What is that?
I’ve never even heard of it.”
Seeing Xiong Kang look over, Lu Zixun rolled his eyes.
“If you don’t know about it, I definitely wouldn’t know either.
Maybe we should ask Old Man Zeng; he has a broader knowledge.”
Nodding his head, Xiong Kang pulled out his phone and dialed Zeng Yanghao’s number, walking over to the window to ask about the Crimson Moon.
After a while, Xiong Kang put away his phone.
“It’s a Racial Talent used only by the king-level Blood Worm, usable only once every six months.
Did you guys encounter Tan Ye?”
After narrating the attack they faced on the road, Xiong Kang sighed.
“There’s nothing we can do.
Since it was Tan Ye who took action, we need to call Ninth Brother back here.”
Upon hearing that Xiong Kang wanted to bring Long Jiuri back, Lu Zixun shook his head.
“It’s just that Ninth Brother showed up, drove Tan Ye away, and after that he said he needed to take Yaya to her mother.
I guess he won’t be able to co now.”
Xiong Kang’s headache intensified upon hearing this.
If Long Jiuri couldn’t co, given the harm of the Crimson Moon as just explained by Zeng Yanghao, Wang Duli might not survive tonight.
“Stop frowning.
Hurry up and tell what the old man told you.”
Patting Xiong Kang’s thigh, Lu Zixun complained, “Don’t underestimate , okay?
No matter what, I’m about to enter the S-rank.
Logically, I should be able to solve this problem.”
“Hmm.”
Nodding reluctantly, Xiong Kang began to explain to Lu Zixun what the Crimson Moon was.
If Poison Liquid’s race was the middle combat power of the Insect Clan, then the Blood Worm race was aristocratic.
With a large base and occasionally those of extraordinary talent erging, and Tan Ye was one of them.
Being able to use the Crimson Moon undoubtedly marked him as the cream of the Blood Worm crop because this racial talent allowed for silent curses.
Its brand atop the heart would silently unleash a corrosive blood-like energy that human hearts could at most withstand for a day.
The solution to the Crimson Moon was quite simple; just wiping off the imprint could successfully break the curse from the Blood Worm.
“Could my Spiritual Fire do it?”
After so contemplation, Lu Zixun spoke up.
“Phoenix ntioned once that this Spiritual Fire could eradicate all impurities, and this Crimson Moon should count as an impurity, right?”
“It might work, but we can’t take that risk.”
After weighing its feasibility, Xiong Kang still shook his head.
“If it fails to be wiped off, the curse will instantly erupt and devour Mr.
Wang’s heart.”
“Sigh.”
With a silent sigh, Lu Zixun was out of options, looking up at Xiong Kang.
“So what do we do now?
We can’t just sit and watch.”
“I’ll give Ninth Brother a call and ask if there’s anyone in Lingchuan City who can deal with the Crimson Moon.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Siyin walked in holding a bag of dicine.
Seeing the pale-faced Wang Duli on the bed, her eyes imdiately reddened.
Catching Lu Zixun’s worried glance out of the corner of her eye, Lin Siyin steadied her emotions.
She set the bag aside, sat next to Wang Duli, and pursed her lips in silence.
“Don’t worry, Si Yin.”
Placing his paw on Lin Siyin’s hand, Lu Zixun comforted her.
“Mr.
Wang is in a good state right now; he’ll wake up after a while.”
Little Yaya told a white lie.
Seeing Lin Siyin regain her spirits, Lu Zixun sighed softly.
This couldn’t really be considered lying, right?
After finishing the phone call, Xiong Kang was about to say sothing to Lu Zixun, but Lu Zixun sent a glance his way that cut him off.
He had just told a well-aning lie to keep Lin Siyin from feeling sad.
If Xiong Kang were to co over now and share so bad news, wouldn’t that spoil everything?
“I’m going to the bathroom.”
Lu Zixun said to Lin Siyin before jumping off the bed and signaling Xiong Kang to co out with him.
Understanding what was needed, Xiong Kang also made an excuse, telling Guo Xin’er he was going out for a smoke before following Lu Zixun out of the hospital room.
“What did Ninth Brother say?”
Already anxious for answers, Lu Zixun quickly asked Xiong Kang.
“There is a solution in Lingchuan City, but it requires his Essence Blood.
Ninth Brother doesn’t recomnd we do this.”
Without any beating around the bush, Xiong Kang spoke plainly.
“Who?
Take to him; I’ll ask him.”
“You.”
Seeing Xiong Kang point at him, Lu Zixun was montarily stunned.
Then he shook his head, looking dissatisfied at Xiong Kang, “At a ti like this, you’re still joking?
Let’s hurry.”
As Lu Zixun turned to head back inside, Xiong Kang caught him with a sigh, a helpless look on his face, “Why won’t you believe ?
Ninth Brother really said that.”
“Let’s go.
Have Guo Xin’er find an excuse to take Si Yin away, and then you can tell what to do.”
Lu Zixun, ever impatient, didn’t even ask anything else and was already pulling Xiong Kang toward the hospital room.
“No rush.”
Xiong Kang grabbed Lu Zixun, his voice grave, “The reason Ninth Brother asked this is because of the Essence Blood issue.”
Lu Zixun stood quietly in Xiong Kang’s embrace, waiting for him to explain.
“Essence Blood of a Spirit Beast is generally very precious, let alone that of the Swallowing Sky Cat Demon.
Extracting Essence Blood is easy, but the challenge is that after you extract it, your strength will drop from S-level to A-level.”
Xiong Kang pursed his lips and rubbed his temples, “Ninth Brother ans that since the Insect Clan is watching you, a drop in your strength could make you a target, so he advises against it.”
After a mont of silence, Lu Zixun shook his head, “I appreciate Ninth Brother’s concern.
But Wang Duli is Si Yin’s master, and Si Yin is the most important person to .
I don’t want to see her upset.”
Lu Zixun looked up at Xiong Kang’s solemn face and cracked a smile, “Besides, what’s so bad about losing so strength?
You could just stick to all day to protect , and let experience what it’s like to have a personal bodyguard.”
“You…”
With a helpless gesture toward Lu Zixun, Xiong Kang shook his head, “Got it.
I’ll go talk to Xin’er right now and have her take Lin Siyin out for a bit.”
“Mm-hmm.”
Acknowledging him, Lu Zixun, standing on Xiong Kang’s shoulders, suddenly asked, “Hey?
If my strength drops after extracting the Essence Blood, can I regain it later?”
Xiong Kang paused in his steps, pursed his lips, and sighed.
Lu Zixun felt a sudden jolt in his heart.
What did Xiong Kang an by that?
Could Lord Cat really be reduced to a re useless cat from now on?
