Chapter 335 Divine Art?

Helian Chen's medical skills are unique in Panlong City, and he has cured many terminal illnesses. Wen Daolun values ​​him because he is actually good at witchcraft.

The conspiracy in Wen Xing's body is not simply a deadly poison.

Helian Chen pondered in silence, took out a small jade bottle from his arms, and released a few leech-like creatures into Wen Xing's wound.

Unlike ordinary leeches, they are completely black, with only a bright red streak on their backs.

This creature was somewhat at a loss when it touched Wen Xing's wound.

They only suck blood and are not interested in the green pus flowing out of Wen Xing's wound.

Helian Chen had to cut another incision on Wen Xing's body to let the leech drill in.

Not long after, this thing drilled out.

But as soon as they drilled out, their bodies slowly stiffened, and within ten breaths, they became hard.

Helian Chen took it up and took a closer look, and was moved:

The leech turned into a small piece of wood, and it made a sound when it was knocked against the bedside.

Wen Daolun was anxious beside him: "Is it a poison or a magical power?"

"I'm afraid...neither." Helian Chen smiled bitterly, "Wen Xing's pulse is considered to be peaceful. Apart from excessive blood loss, there is no trace of poison, and there is no sign of the witch's curse taking effect."

"What do you mean?"

"If I didn't look at the wound, I would think he was just injured." Helian Chen looked at him and said, "You didn't find out what magical power he was hit by, right?"

Wen Daolun nodded with a gloomy face.

At this moment, footsteps sounded outside, as if more than a dozen people were rushing in, and then a report sounded:

"Commander Zhong is here!"

He Lingchuan's eyes froze.

The highest helmsman of this legendary city, Zhong Shengguang, the owner of the Dafang Pot, is finally about to appear!

He has not seen Zhong Shengguang in more than twenty dreams. Unexpectedly, Wen Daolun was attacked and Wen Xing was injured, which actually prompted Zhong Shengguang to come forward.

The wooden door creaked open, and someone came in, dressed in casual clothes.

Just one person, and he closed the door with his backhand.

He Lingchuan looked carefully. Zhong Shengguang didn't have three heads and six arms, but he was a little taller than ordinary people, with handsome eyebrows and eyes full of light. He looked more vicissitudes than He Chunhua, and there were white hairs on his temples, but He Lingchuan knew that Zhong Shengguang was only thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old at this time, and he still had cultivation. Obviously, it was really a tiring job to be in charge of Panlong City and resist foreign aggression.

He ignored He Lingchuan and others beside him and strode to the bedside: "How is it?"

Wen Daolun only stared at his son: "The monster targeted me, and Xing'er took the blame for me."

Helian Chen was also ashamed: "I'm not poisoned, nor is it a magical power, nor is it a curse, and I can't find any symptoms."

Without symptoms, there is naturally no way to prescribe the right medicine. Facing Zhong Shengguang, he can only be honest to avoid missing the opportunity.

Zhong Shengguang carefully examined Wen Xing's wound and said, "I was also ambushed on the way here. This time, three Jinduzi attacked together."

Everyone's face changed slightly, but seeing that Zhong Shengguang was fine now, they knew that he was not the one who suffered.

Helian Chen looked at his whole body and looked for wounds: "Are you okay?"

"I heard that Wen Xing was injured, so I was prepared. I didn't expect that their target was you." Zhong Shengguang frowned, "Two of the three monsters died and one was injured. I brought them all to you."

In the past ten years of defending Panlong City, he didn't know how many assassinations he had avoided. He was experienced.

Helian Chen looked at the unconscious Wen Xing, hesitated for a while, and said: "I suspect, this is... a magic."

Zhong Shengguang turned his head suddenly: "Wen Xing was injured by the ninth son of Jindu Mother?"

No way?

He Lingchuan couldn't help but look at the tray. Such an inconspicuous cricket-like monster, could it be the most powerful cub of Jindu Mother?

The one he encountered in Chifeng Mountain turned the entire mine into its nest, taking advantage of the home field. If General Hong hadn't taken action, the patrol guards would probably have died on the spot.

"Only the last child can use magic." Wen Daolun looked at his son, "The big one squatting under the bridge to ambush us was just a cover."

He supported his forehead and said, "We were careless. We thought that the remnants had been cleared out in the battle of Chifeng Mountain, and we relaxed our vigilance. Who would have thought that a second nest of Jindu ghosts would have sneaked into the city."

The mother of Jindu can only give birth to nine children at most. They had killed nine before, so they lifted the martial law measures and no longer sent the three corpse worms to patrol at night.

After all, the three corpse worms themselves are not good things. If they are released too many times, they will definitely cause new troubles.

But now a new monster has emerged, there is only one explanation:

There are more than one nest of Jindu cubs causing trouble!

The mother of Jindu ghost has nine children in one litter, and the last one born is the most powerful. But the "ninth child" is not necessarily a sadist.

In fact, the chance of a cannibal appearing is pitifully small. Even if the Jindu ghost mother gave birth hundreds of times, it might not be possible for one of them to give birth to such a thing.

Moreover, under the current conditions, it is not so easy for the Jindu ghost mother to give birth.

But even if they are not cannibals, these youngest Jindu cubs have their own abilities.

Zhong Shengguang nodded: "A city-wide investigation will soon yield results." He asked Helian Chen again, "Are you sure that this is a magic?"

"Seventy percent." Helian Chen said, "When we use the water and fire arts, we hurt people from the outside to the inside; these three spikes are like three seeds, which will start to transform when they are planted in Wen Xing's body, turning the flesh and blood into wood. This is completely different from ordinary magic, and only magic can explain it."

He glanced at Wen Daolun and whispered: "The injuries on the hands and feet are fine, but the abdomen is more troublesome. If even the internal organs are turned into wood, it will endanger life."

If the internal organs stop working, how close is a person to death?

The muscles on Wen Daolun's face jumped.

Zhong Shengguang asked: "How much time is left?"

Judging from the speed of the wood transformation spreading on Wen Yun's body... "There are still seven hours at most."

Zhong Shengguang nodded and threw a crescent-shaped whistle towards He Lingchuan: "Send the order with the sparrow hawk: The Red General returns to the city quickly."

He Lingchuan was shocked. There is a fierce battle on the front line. Is Zhong Shengguang going to recall the leading general?

Wen Daolun also raised his head suddenly and said: "No! Absolutely not! If Baihe Gang is lost, even Wei City will be in danger..."

"You can get it back if you lose it." Zhong Shengguang said lightly, "Besides, there are other generals on the front line, and it's not just the Red General who can be used." He glared at He Lingchuan, "Why are you still standing, delivering orders!"

It was a real race against time at this moment, and He Lingchuan ran out all the way to get it done.

He stood behind the martial arts hall, avoiding the crowd and blowing the whistle.

The whistle was not as sharp as ordinary people imagined. Instead, it sounded low and mute. It was unknown what kind of animal's horns it was made of.

Not long after, a small black spot appeared in the sky, and it didn't get much bigger after it fell.

It fell in front of He Lingchuan and tilted his head: "Why are you the one blowing the whistle?"

This guy was already an old acquaintance of He Lingchuan. He was injured by Jindu Zai last time. He was raised in his house until he was half healthy before flying away. During this period, he was provided with good meat and drank every day.

After flying away that day, it never showed up again.

He Lingchuan smiled and said: "If you don't blow the whistle, you won't show up." He is a scumbag who just goes away after eating, drinking and patting his buttocks! "Pass the command from the bell to the envoy, and General Red will return to the city immediately!"

"Got it!" The sparrowhawk flapped its wings and flew westward.

…

Because of Wen Daolun's attack, various gatherings, including lectures at Wenxian Hall, were immediately canceled and the entire city was placed under martial law. Zhong Shengguang sent dozens of teams to search the city door to door.

If this happened in any other place, it would cause public dissatisfaction and panic. However, the people of Panlongcheng themselves are very aware, and the publicity everywhere is timely, so everyone is mentally prepared, and most of them will cooperate when they hear the patrol knocking on the door.

The patrols and city defenders focused on searching empty houses, sheds, river ponds and other places. Sure enough, they found another Jindu cub and killed it on the spot after a fierce fight.

What's creepy is that the hiding place of the ghost cub is very close to the residences of high-ranking officials in Panlong City.

One more thing:

When doctors such as Helianchen and Aluo dissected Jinduzi's corpses, they all found ash in their stomachs.

These monsters were born for at least two or three days, but compared with the previous batch of similar monsters that plagued Panlong City, they did not eat a single bite of human flesh after they were born. At most, chicken feathers and dog bones were found in the stomachs of two of them.

In other words, they will steal chickens and dogs, but they will not eat humans.

Eating is an instinct, and if they even suppress their instinct, it is definitely not because they are kind-hearted.

Of course, the pharmacists conducted some research on this fine ash and quickly came to a conclusion:

This is the powder of the Hades Pearl.

A successful magician or great demon may produce ghost beads after death and cremation, which contain spiritual energy.

And now these are probably the ashes of some kind of monster. They were quite large when they were alive. They probably lived in the lake and sea, because there is still a little bit of unburned algae mixed in them.

By feeding on this kind of underworld bead, Jindu Zai can survive without eating live meat for a short period of time, which reduces the possibility of exposure.

The opponent's plan is revealed to this point, which already makes people shudder.

Obviously, the Jindu babies born by Yun Gu are in the open, attracting the attention of everyone in Panlong City; these Jindu babies, who eat Mingzhu instead of ordinary people, are secretly waiting for opportunities to assassinate important figures in Panlong City.

At this moment, Xiao Maoliang returned with his team. In addition to the escaped Jinduzi that had turned into a corpse, they also brought back a woman.

When He Lingchuan saw her, he couldn't help but take a deep breath:

"It's indeed her!"

The thin man was next to him: "Who is this? Do you recognize him?"

"Do you still remember that I have a shop on Panlong Main Street?"

"Remember, why?" There are three generations in the same shop. They are golden chickens that lay eggs. The thin man is salivating.

"When I was cleaning up the shop, an old woman came, that is, she -" He Lingchuan pointed at Xiao Maoliang's captive, "- asked for a jar from my shop and said she would take the pickled vegetables back. I'll keep that The jar was of no use, so I gave it to her. I still remember others calling her Mrs. Ji, she was in her early forties."

The thin man was shocked when he saw her disheveled hair, old face, and thin figure: "Forty? I think she's already sixty!"

"Both her children died on the battlefield." He Lingchuan still remembered the scene at that time. "Aluo accidentally checked her pulse and said that she was four or five months pregnant, and she was pregnant with more than one child."
