Chapter 1151 Winter Mania

Joan nodded, expressing her understanding of Slude's difficulties.

"Joan, before I send a letter to report to my father and the elders, there is one more thing I need to ask for your help." Slude said solemnly.

"What's the matter, just say it."

"If you want to solve the current predicament in Elk Town, Clark Heinier is the most critical person. Can I have a face-to-face talk with this Mr. Heinier?"

Slude looked at Joan eagerly.

Joan stood up, opened the curtain covering the hospital bed, and said to Sluder, "Brother Clark is very ill, and I don't know when he will recover."

Slude and Haakon got up and came to the hospital bed, curiously looking at the sleeping frost giant.

"Joan, is it convenient for Fang to tell us what kind of disease Mr. Hainier is suffering from? Maybe we can find a cure." Haakon asked enthusiastically.

"I'm sorry, this is exactly the problem that bothers me." Joan spread his hands and said bitterly: "So far, I still don't know what strange disease Brother Clark has, why he always faints without warning, Sometimes inexplicably sleepwalking, going crazy, and even showing symptoms of cannibalism..."

"Sleepwalking...crazy...cannibalism..."

Slude murmured and repeated the key words Joan just mentioned, and his face suddenly became very strange.

"Joan, Mr. Heinier's strange disease... I seem to have heard about it from 'Master Gray'."

Joan's heart was shocked, and he quickly held Slude's hand, and asked eagerly, "What did Master Gray say!"

"Don't worry, it's not sure if it's that kind of disease." Slude patted the back of his palm and asked softly, "Tell me first, did Mr. Hainier ever have a relationship with a disease called ' Have you come into contact with the mythical creatures of the Snow Demon? Master Gray said that people who are bitten or scratched by the Snow Demon may be infected with 'Winter Mania'."

Joan silently let go of Slude's hand, and sat back in the chair expressionlessly, letting the turbulent waves surge in her heart.

After a long time, the turbulent mood calmed down a little.

He raised his head, faced the concerned eyes of Slude and other friends, and nodded slightly.

"Brother Clark did have a conflict with the Snow Demon. Although I don't have reliable evidence, it is very likely that he was injured by the Snow Demon."

Joan answered as carefully as possible.

"That's right, Mr. Heinier is probably suffering from 'winter mania'." Slude asserted firmly.

"Slude, can you tell me in detail what kind of disease 'winter mania' is?" Holden asked curiously.

"This is complicated. 'Winter Mania' is a very rare supernatural disease. On the level of 'supernatural', 'Winter Mania' is a very vicious curse. On the level of 'disease' In fact, it is a bit like 'lycanthropy' or 'wormism'."

"Veminosis?!"

Holden and Hailaer couldn't help exclaiming in unison, and their eyes instantly shifted to Joan's face.

"What's the matter?" Haakon looked over blankly.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that Joan just happened to write a paper on 'worm disease'." Audrey gave her younger brother and Hailar a white look, "You two, please calm down, don't be surprised ! Slude, keep talking about winter mania."

Slude nodded, thinking about it and said: "I remember it was two years ago, once I was chatting with Master Hui under the tree, and I accidentally asked if there were any other high-ranking people in this world besides his old man." Mythical creatures, Master Gray used this to tell me many stories about high-level mythical creatures."

"Although the old man is knowledgeable, most of the things he told happened in ancient times. Those mythical creatures have long since disappeared in this era, so I didn't pay much attention to them. I just listened to them as stories. One of the mythical monsters that impressed me deeply , is the Wendigo Snow Demon."

"Master Gray said that the Wendigo Snow Demon, also known as 'Kostchurch's Dark Hunger', is said to be the projection of the evil power of the abyss lord 'Prince of Wrath' Kostchurch, which looks like a pair of legs A disabled frost giant with a deer head, suspended in mid-air, always accompanied by cold, wind and snow..."

"How powerful is the Wendigo Snow Demon? I have never seen such a mythical monster, and I dare not talk nonsense, but one thing is certain, the root of the 'winter mania' is the Wendigo Snow Demon!"

"Most of the creatures injured by the Wendigo snow demon will be infected with 'winter mania'. The initial symptom is lethargy, and they often fall into a long-term stupor for no reason. During the stupor, the sick person will gradually lose consciousness. Becoming more and more emotionally numb and moody."

"After a period of development, 'winter mania' enters the second stage. Patients will become mentally disturbed, have a strong cannibalistic urge, and will only have an appetite for creatures of the same race as themselves, eager to devour each other's fresh food flesh……"

"If the patient cannot control the desire to eat people, the 'winter mania' will continue to worsen as the patient continues to devour flesh and blood, becoming more and more bloodthirsty and crazier, but that's all, it will not enter' Wintermania' final stage."

Slude recalled Master Gray's original description of "winter mania", and then continued to tell Joan and others about the final stage of this strange disease.

"Only when one condition is met, 'Winter Mania' will enter the final stage, that is, the death of the Wendigo Snow Demon that bit the patient."

"That's right, only after the death of the original snow demon, the patients in the second stage of 'winter mania' will quickly deteriorate to the final stage."

"At the final stage, the patient will have a brand new symptom - run wildly in the wilderness, until his feet are suddenly broken, the crippled body flies into the air, the flesh and blood are twisted and deformed, and finally transformed into a brand new Wendigo snow magic!"

"At this stage, the patient has been replaced with a Wendigo Snow Demon from body to soul, which is equivalent to death, and it is almost impossible to be resurrected."

Having said that, Slude turned his head to look at Joan, and said seriously: "Judging from Mr. Hainier's symptoms, the 'winter mania' has developed to the second stage. As for whether it will continue to worsen, it depends on the injury." Is his snow demon still alive?"

"This question can only be answered by Brother Clark himself." Joan looked at the hospital bed with a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

"Slude, the gray old man you mentioned just now, since he understands 'winter mania' very well, is there any way for him to cure this strange disease?" Audrey asked.

"Of course!" Haakon continued confidently, "Master Gray is the holy tree in our town, and he can't be troubled by any disease. If you don't believe me, just ask Joan! Back then, Joan was on the Daxue Mountain. He broke his leg, and it was Master Gray who healed him!"
