The moon is dark and the wind is high.
There was deathly silence on Black Pine Ridge.
After this place became a gathering place for poison masters, there were no longer any wild animals. Now that the poison master is dead again, everything is naturally silent. Only the rustling sound of branches swaying when the night wind blows can make people feel scared every now and then.
People from the Supervisor's Office had already come to check during the day. Although the poison masters here were dead, the various residual poisons they left behind were still hidden everywhere. It was not even known which piece of land would kill someone if they stepped on it.
After all, the poison masters on the mountain are not all monolithic. Everyone will arrange some preventive measures in front of their own homes. Preliminary inspection results show that these residual poisons may take hundreds of years to disappear. It would be better to just use big means to renovate this mountain and turn it into a new mountain.
However, this big move has not been carried out yet. Many notices have been posted at the mountain pass, stating that the poisonous mountain will collapse and warning people not to enter.
In fact, this notice is a bit redundant. For many years, no living creature has dared to approach this area.
rub--
After a long period of silence, a black shadow suddenly rushed over. It passed by where blood flowed everywhere last night, and then stopped on a tree branch.
This figure looked like a wild beast, lying on its four limbs, covered in black and blue, and a pair of bright eyes scanning the surroundings alertly.
But when you get closer and look at its facial features, it’s clearly human! The blue-black color all over his body is a strange pattern that spreads over a large area of his body.
"Ho--" A low gasp came from his mouth, no different from that of a wild beast.
The next second, his limbs used all their strength to rush forward at the same time! rub--
The figure instantly appeared in that dilapidated courtyard, and his trajectory was almost impossible to catch in the night, as fast as lightning.
But the moment he landed in the courtyard, a piece of white light suddenly lit up from under his feet, and whee—
As the light circulated, a cage instantly surrounded him.
This beast-like figure jumped up suddenly, trying to break through the white light. But when he straightened up, he found that the white light did not stop him, but passed through easily.
But after passing through, he fell into the courtyard again.
It's an illusion.
"Oh!" He let out a low roar, and turned to break through in another direction, but was forced back by a sword light!
laugh--
The figure in white clothes looked like a flying fairy from the sky, and a sword fluttered to the ground, forcing the black shadow back.
It was Jiang Yuebai.
But when she saw her left hand holding the sword, the sword light turned and instantly turned into a pool of thunder, stabbing the golden dragon and silver lightning and wandering away!
The black shadow could no longer dodge and was hit by a golden dragon. He suddenly fell to the ground stiffly.
Jiang Yuebai changed his hands again, and countless thunder and lightning twisted into several ropes, and the thorns wrapped around the black figure, binding it heavily.
"Ah -" the black shadow roared, but the harder he struggled, the stronger the backlash brought by Leisuo was. The electric shock paralyzed his whole body, and he could no longer move for a moment.
Only then did Jiang Yuebai approach gently, and with the help of the electric light, he could see the figure's face clearly.
But seeing that his features were young and young, he seemed to be no older than himself, that is, fifteen or sixteen years old. The green and black lines all over his body were like living things, and they swelled with his breathing, and every move seemed to bring him great pain.
His eyes were filled with blood, full of chaos and madness.
After thinking for a while, she raised her hand to perform a meditation spell, and saw white light flickering, shining on the young man's body. Little bits of light seeped into his skin, finally calming down his demeanor.
This Jingxin Jue is originally a method that can make people calm down and stabilize their state of mind, but it is actually quite effective at this moment.
Jiang Yuebai immediately asked: "Who are you?"
…
When Jiang Yuebai discovered this dark shadow yesterday, although she lost track of it, she thought about it afterwards.
Why did he come to this dangerous place?
Qiongqi's massacre is unlikely to have survivors, and others will not come to Black Pine Ridge. So when he comes here, is there something he wants here?
Wandu Mountain is so vast that it is unrealistic to find that person. But since he came to Black Pine Ridge once, he might come again for a second time.
This case seemed to be the last clue after the case was traced here, so with the idea of trying her luck, she arranged a large formation here, preparing to wait and see.
If this dark shadow comes again, Jiang Yuebai will definitely not allow him to escape again.
And then tonight he came indeed.
I can only say that my luck is pretty good.
Listening to Jiang Yuebai's questions, the young man whose mood gradually stabilized finally said in a very jerky accent: "I...I am a medicine jar."
"Medicine jar?" Jiang Yuebai was puzzled.
The young man then slowly told Jiang Yuebai his origins.
It turns out that among the poison masters in Heisong Ridge, there is one who is the strongest and most evil named Song. Others call him Master Song.
This Poison Master Song never used wild animals to test medicine, he only used people. He dug out a basement under his compound and imprisoned many children, using them as "medicine jars" for his own experiments.
These children have grown up in this environment since childhood. Even if they survive, they will gradually turn into beast-like beings with extraordinary bodies and inhumanity.
If someone is a little older, like this young man, he will be sent by Poison Master Song to collect herbs and catch poisons in the Ten Thousand Poison Mountains. They have all been planted with a strange poison, and they have to take the antidote every day. If they don't take the antidote for one day, they will fall into madness and die violently. Therefore, no one dares to escape, and must come back within the specified time to hand over the spiritual plants and poisons in exchange for the day's antidote.
If there is no harvest, he will be beaten severely when he comes back. Even if there is no harvest for several days, Poison Master Song will stop giving him the antidote and make him die violently in front of everyone as a warning.
As for the young man Jiang Yuebai caught, he was just such a medicine jar. He entered Ten Thousand Poison Mountains that day but had no results for a long time and did not dare to come back.
Just when he was about to die of poisonous hair in the mountains, he suddenly discovered a strange herb that could relieve the pain of poisonous hair. He took the exotic herb and persisted for a while longer. Only then was he able to return to Black Pine Ridge at night with his life saved.
But as soon as he came back, he saw a river of blood on the ridge, which was when Jiang Yuebai discovered him last night.
He thought it was Jiang Yuebai who did it, so he ran away like crazy. After entering the Ten Thousand Poison Mountains, he found that strange herb again, so he persisted until now.
But without an antidote, he would never be able to escape. That's why he wanted to see if Poison Master Song was dead and if he could find the antidote.
"I see……"
If everything he said is true, then he is a pathetic man.
But Jiang Yuebai did not relax his restraints, just let him get up to find the antidote. The young man got up, kicked open the door in the courtyard, pressed a mechanism, and sure enough, a basement was opened.
The basement was empty except for bloodstains. I don’t know how many people died innocently here.
"No..." The young man seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "They are all gone... they are not dead. It must be Master Song, Master Song took them all away!"
"Not dead?" Jiang Yuebai's mind was spinning as she listened to what he said.
The carnage in the black pine forest was littered with wreckage, and it was entirely possible that one or two poison masters were not among them. But if all the children in the basement were mixed in, they would be able to tell them apart.
So he could confirm that the medicine jars were not dead.
So where did they go?
And smelling the smell in the basement, she suddenly felt something familiar.
This smell...
I seem to have smelled it somewhere?
Good morning.
