Chapter 206: Drug Absorbing Stone and Toxic Stone Luo Seng chopped the horns on the snake's head with difficulty. During this process, he also had to be careful about the snake biting him. Lin Jue sat under a tree to rest, looking at the stone-colored skin on his wrist. He could feel that his skin was like stone. But it's just a superficial layer. Recalling the palpitation in his heart just now, Lin Jue knew that there might be a spell in the ancient books that was similar to the power of this giant snake, or this spell was simply created by borrowing the abilities of this kind of monsters. After all, magic is derived from the universe. The sunshine and moonlight, the breeze, the rain and dew, every blade of grass and every tree, even a single thought, may all have a great path and may also contain a kind of magic. Lin Jue also knew how this giant snake hunted apes.

Unfortunately, he and his junior sister had already practiced the fossilization technique, which could turn the whole body into stone from the inside out. They could turn into stone and change back freely, so this spell had no effect on them. It can be used against others. Even a martial arts master like Luo Seng, if caught off guard and hit, would be unable to move or his movements would be slow, and he would be unable to cope with the giant snake's stranglehold and bloody mouth. However, this method does overlap partially with the technique of immobilization. He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw Fox standing beside him, staring at his wrist with a serious look on his face. "Don't worry." As soon as Lin Jue exerted force with his hands, the skin recovered quickly. The fox's eyes flashed and he was surprised again. Then the monk Luo's voice came from the side: "I have met many monks and Taoist masters in the capital, and have dealt with many strange people, but I have never seen anyone as good at magic and fighting as the Taoist priest." At this time he had cut off the snake's horn and held it in his hand. The fox was attracted again, jumped over Lin Jue's legs, and moved closer to watch curiously. This horn is about one foot long. The thickest part at the bottom is about as thick as a human wrist, and the top is pointed. It feels like a stone and is heavy in the hand. "What kind of things did Luo Gong see?" "Most monks and Taoists in the capital worship gods and Buddhas, and do not practice magic. Those who practice magic only have some small tricks, and each person can only know two or three. Most of the so-called extraordinary people are like this. Even if some of them can be said to have great skills, they only know one or two." "Most of the world is like this." Lin Jue said, "So it's the same in the capital." "It's like this everywhere." Luo Seng said as he drew out his knife again. "I don't know what this snake meat tastes like, whether it can be eaten or used as medicine. I'll cut off a few pounds and take them away." The junior sister also looked at Lin Jue and exchanged her feelings. This is a thrifty junior sister. Luo Seng wanted to take the meat from the giant snake's belly.

However, when he cut open the snake's belly with a knife, he found a human body that had not been fully digested. Now even he had no intention of taking the snake meat. Lin Jue and the others also saved themselves the trouble of thinking. "What should we do next?" Lin Jue asked him again, "Is this horn enough?" "..." Luo Seng looked at him in silence. Lin Jue knew immediately—— He didn't know either. "To be on the safe side, let's collect a few more." Lin Jue said to him, "This snake likes to eat people. I will use the spiritual fluid to lure it over here. When it sees us, it will come out from the ground. Then we can attack together." "it is good!" "This yellow smoke has no effect on my two brothers and sisters, so you just need to be careful. To be safe, I won't ask these four heroes who are good at close combat to help." "no problem!" Lin Jue took back the four bean soldiers, leaving only the archer, and then took out a small porcelain bottle. This is the last bottle of spiritual liquid. Open it and you'll smell the rich fragrance inside. Then several people went to different places to wait. If the giant snake comes again, the fox will be responsible for reconnaissance, Lin Jue will attack from a distance with the sword, and the bean soldiers and archers will shoot arrows. This can not only attract its attention, but also inflict wounds all over its body. It would be even better if it could hit a vital point. The junior sister protected Lin Jue and assisted him by calling the wind to blow away the yellow smoke, pushing the fire and ringing the bell. Luo Seng looked for an opportunity to behead him. high efficiency. The giant snake, which might be difficult for one or two teams of soldiers to deal with, was killed very easily by them. Even as we become more proficient and tacit, our efficiency continues to improve. Instead, walking took several days. "That's enough. We can't fit any more in." Luo Seng said decisively, "We shouldn't delay any longer. Let's go out." "it is good!" The three of them left without hesitation. At this time, the two donkeys led by Lin Jue and his junior sister were loaded with things, including natural treasures and ape hair. Even the branches of the ash tree that Lin Jue had taken could only be held in his hands. The snake horns that Luo Seng had taken were all tied up with ropes made from vines in the forest and placed on the horses' backs. Everyone staggered out. The forest is filled with miasma and it is easy to get lost. Fortunately, the fox remembered the direction.

The group almost returned the same way. When I passed by the village outside, I met the middle-aged man again. Seeing the snake horns tied to Luo Seng's horse's back, the blood that had not yet dried on his body, and the two Taoists walking with the wind, the middle-aged man felt as if he had seen ghosts. Before I could react, they had already walked away. The one in Yaohua Cave said that the snake horn needs to be dried in the sun to become a poison-absorbing stone, and if dried in the shade it will become a highly poisonous stone. Before this, the forest was filled with miasma, and it was cloudy when he came out, without the sun. Lin Jue had to spray water on the snake horn every once in a while, and let the fox breathe out cold air to keep it moist and cold, and then dry it in the sun. He also checked the snake's horns from time to time. This snake horn feels like stone, and its weight is like stone. If you feel it carefully, you will find that its spirit is also like stone. Combined with the snake's ability to drill into the ground and its ability to petrify everything by spitting out mist, we can roughly know that it should be a strange beast belonging to the earth element of the five elements. This horn is most likely formed by the spiritual charm of the earth element absorbed by it. No wonder it is called drug-absorbing stone and highly poisonous stone. Because this is just a piece of stone. Lin Jue would not make a wrong judgment - he had at least two spells related to stone, such as turning stone into a general and the magic of silver, both of which could work on this snake horn. Moreover, he was studying alchemy, and alchemy required learning to gather materials, so judging the materials of common things in the world was a basic skill. "Drying in the shade will cause the stone to become extremely poisonous... “How toxic is highly toxic? "Stone……" Lin Jue frowned and thought, with a vague idea in mind. I just don’t know if it will work. Lin Jue planned to find an opportunity to ask later. Looking ahead, the long road ahead was full of golden-red Koelreuteria trees, while Luo Seng was walking silently with his knife in hand. He couldn't help but ask, "I haven't asked Lord Luo yet, what's going on with the zombies in Runze County?" "It's a village. It's not peaceful to begin with, and there are often zombies. But the place is full of culture, and it has produced two top scholars in a row, so they don't want to move away." Luo Seng answered without turning his head, and paused: "The village owner told me that one of his family members was involved in a strange incident somewhere else, and he suspected that he was being retaliated by a monster, so he spread the smell of corpses in the area." "Emitting corpse gas?" "I don't know the source, but I guess it's probably because the water source of the village has been polluted." Luo Seng didn't even look back, and hurried on his way. "Local people will get fever and fester one after another, and die of illness. After being buried, they will become stiff after seven days, with black hair and very fierce. People who are bitten will also get fever and die, and become stiff after death. The only way is to burn them." "It's so true!" Lin Jue frowned and said, "Then are we still in time?" "I don't know. Those who died of fever before took ten days or half a month to recover, and those who drank the water didn't necessarily get a fever immediately. When I left, there were still people dying one after another, so there should be some alive." "So that's it." "Originally, when encountering such a zombie situation, we can just find the zombie and burn it. But the situation here is unusual and the most difficult to deal with. I had no choice but to ask some heroes I met in the martial arts world to guard there. If there are zombies, they will be killed and burned. The dead will also be burned. If there are people with fever and ulcers, they will also be kept under close watch. But it is not good to kill all those who have not yet fallen ill." Luo Seng said this, paused for a moment, and added: "The wealthy families in the village can have their sons and nephews become officials in the capital."

The implication is that if this were not the case, the local officers and soldiers would not necessarily be able to commit such acts of massacre and burning of villages. In fact, this is indeed a commonly used method. …… As we walked, it was already night. A few people built a fire and roasted some game. After the junior sister finished her task of collecting firewood and making a fire, she had some free time. She huddled in front of the fire, holding a small book, reading carefully by the firelight, waiting for dinner to be served. The book is densely covered with handwritten text. It was the spell written by Lin Jue: "The Mountain Falls". The junior sister's talent tends towards the five elements, and the skills she has currently learned also tend towards fighting. She is also good at fighting. As long as she is willing, Lin Jue can teach her all the five elements spells he has learned. Including the mountain crushing top, water control, stone turning into a general and wood escape technique. If this continues, it is foreseeable that her attainments in the Five Elements magic will most likely surpass Lin Jue's own. However, the junior sister currently has the deepest understanding of the earth-based spiritual charm, so Lin Jue taught her earth-based magic first. The junior sister is very hardworking and diligent. After eating, continue studying. Even after the fire went out, she was reluctant to go to sleep so early, for she lay on the stone where the night-lamp was placed, and continued to read by the light. Unexpectedly, the fire became brighter again. The junior sister closed the book instantly, put it in her arms with one hand, took the sword with the other hand, and turned to look. Lin Jue also sat up. In the dim lights in the distance, there were still the four priests. "Greetings, Taoist Priest..." The red-robed priest who was leading the group bowed to the two and asked politely, "Now that you have come out of Kuze County, can you take us to the place where we met the princess?" Lin Jue was suddenly helpless. I didn't expect that they were still waiting outside. It seems that it is not a good idea to just go back and report like this. Judging from his attitude, he might have followed them into Ku Ze County and witnessed the process of them beheading the snake. After thinking for a while, he looked at Luo Seng. "In my opinion, if I don't take them to see it, they won't give up. After all, I promised the princess to help her deliver the letter. Now that the letter hasn't been delivered to Mount Xiyue, it can't be considered as completing the mission. It won't hurt to take them there again tomorrow." Lin Jue paused and said, "Now that the snake horn has been obtained, Lord Luo should go back first. We may only be delayed for half a day and will arrive soon." "That's fine." Luo Seng nodded. "That place is just outside Runze County, called Yangjia Village. I need to ask someone." "It doesn't have to be this way."

Lin Jue turned his head and looked at Fu Yao. The fox was very smart and understood immediately. It walked forward, raised its paw and pressed it on Luo Seng's leg. Luo Seng immediately lifted up his shirt and trouser legs to check. There is a fox paw mark on it, which looks like a plum blossom. "Knowing that Lord Luo is a highly skilled martial artist with abundant Qi and blood, many spells will not work on you. Please do not deliberately mobilize your Qi and blood to attack it. As long as it is still there, we will naturally be able to find Lord Luo." "Master, you have great skills!" "It's my Fuyao..." Luo Seng nodded. He didn't want to say more, but when he saw the fox turned its head and looked at him with a sharp gaze, he was silent for a moment and could only add: "The Taoist's fox is also very capable!" The fox then withdrew its gaze and raised its paw. "The snake horn needs to be dried. Mr. Luo, please figure out how to use it." Lin Jue reminded. "We know how to use this thing." The red-robed priest said calmly from a distance. "How many of you know?" "Of course I know, but I didn't expect that there is such a strange beast hidden in Kuze County." The red-robed priest paused for a moment, and seeing that he agreed to take him there, he did not keep him in suspense, "If you have a wound, stick it on the wound, and it will naturally be able to absorb the poison. If there is no wound, stick it on the forehead, and it can also absorb the poison. When the poison-absorbing stone turns black, it means that the poison is full of poison. You can soak it in water to clean it, and then use it after drying it. Do not dry it in the shade. If it is a contagious poison, the water used to soak the poison-absorbing stone cannot be dumped randomly, and you need to dig a pit and bury it deep." "Ok?" Luo Seng glanced at them. After a little thought, I don't think it's fake. Just try it and you will know. But this did not change his impression of them, so he just bowed and greeted them briefly and ignored them. The next morning, both sides went to opposite sides. (End of this chapter)
