Chapter 1096: Village in the Forest

On the Zhentian Tower, Li Taihang and Xiao Ai were at the top of the tower. Behind them stood Qinghe and Xueying.

They were driving the Zhentian Tower towards the Xianhun Sect.

After another half a month of flying, they arrived at the area under the jurisdiction of the Xianhun Sect. After arriving here, Li Taihang took the Zhentian Tower and planned to fly there by himself.

Several people flew towards the Xianhun Sect. Halfway through, Li Taihang's eyes suddenly looked in a certain direction.

I saw a village appeared in a forest.

He thought for a while and said, "Let's find a place to rest first."

Then, without waiting for Qinghe and Xueying to react, he flew towards the direction of the village.

When you come to the outside of the village, you can see that the people in the village have a strange look on their faces. Not only that, they all look ashen, without the slightest life.

Xueying narrowed his eyes slightly. He felt that there was something wrong with the people in this village. He whispered to Li Taihang: "Master, these mortals seem to be infected."

"What kind of infection?" Li Taihang asked lightly.

"It seems to be some kind of plague, but now it is the early symptoms." Xueying guessed.

"What do you think the result will be?" Li Taihang looked at Xueying again.

Xueying stroked his white beard and said: "The result? These people will either become zombies or die and rot."

"Really?" Li Taihang thought for a while and said: "In this case, you go and investigate the things in this village."

"Yes, master."

Qinghe and Xueying transformed into a pair of young woodcutters and entered the village.

The villagers were a little surprised to see the two people who suddenly appeared.

"Strangers, what do you want?" The village chief had been at the entrance of the village, as if waiting for something.

Seeing two strangers suddenly coming, he coughed and blocked their way.

"Oh, hello, old man. We were cutting firewood in the woods. We got lost and found a village here. We want to come in and rest for a while. Is that okay?" Xueying asked politely.

The village chief looked at them and saw that they were strong and carrying a lot of firewood. He nodded and said, "Come in, but you can't stay too long."

"Okay, thank you, village chief."

"Okay, follow me quickly." The village chief coughed a few more times and led them to bypass other villagers and go to their homes.

Qinghe was a little curious and asked, "Village chief, what's wrong with you? And why are the people in this village so listless?"

"Hey." The village chief sighed and said, "We don't know what's going on. However, we have sent people to the town to find a doctor. I believe that we will be able to find out the situation soon. Ahem."

When the village chief said this, he coughed a few more times.

Xueying suddenly said, "Village chief, you don't look too well, can I take a look?"

"You?" The village chief was a little surprised, looking up and down at Xueying, as if he didn't believe that this big man could treat illnesses.

Xueying smiled and said, "I learned medical skills from my master before, but later I went home and had my own family and children, so I rarely studied that."

"Look, now I can only come out to pick firewood for a living."

"How is your medical skill?"

"I dare not say this, but after looking at your condition, it should be fine."

"Then, let's try." The village chief was actually quite panicked.

So many people in the village suddenly fell ill, and they were inexplicably ill, and no one knew the reason.

Xueying took the opportunity to treat the village chief and found out some reasons.

"It turns out that he was infected with the plague." Xueying sighed lightly.

These plagues are nothing to these two immortal cultivators in the Tribulation Realm.

But for these mortals, it is definitely a fatal blow.

"At the least, they will die, and at the worst, they will become zombies."

"What?" It was the first time that the village chief heard such a statement, and he looked puzzled, looking at Xueying who seemed to be muttering to himself.

"It means that the people who are sick here basically have only one way to go. If they die, they will die and will not bother people. The only thing is that they will become zombies, that is, they will become monsters that eat living people."

"What?"

The village chief was amazed when he heard it.

He was just about to pour water for the two people to drink, but suddenly heard such a terrible thing. His hand shook, and the whole porcelain kettle fell to the ground and broke into several pieces.

"This...this..."

The village chief was very panicked.

"But, village chief, please rest assured, you are lucky to meet us."

Although Qinghe and Xueying didn't know why Li Taixing asked them to check here, since it was the master's order, they naturally had to cooperate well.

"Is it, is it?" The village chief was a little confused.

Xueying said again: "Yes, in short, I can treat you."

"Really?"

"Of course, it is mainly because you have the early symptoms that I can save you. If it is in the later stage, even if you are saved, there may be huge sequelae."

"In short, everything is still in time now. Please gather everyone together, village chief."

"Will this... be bad?" The village chief was a little hesitant, and was still thinking about isolating the sick people.

But Xueying shook his head and said: "Village chief, do you think isolation is useful? Is it possible that all of you are actually infected?"

"What?"

The village chief was shocked, and then he lowered his head in silence, because he actually had this guess. The people in the whole village were lifeless. Not all of them were infected. What was it?

"Village chief, based on my examination of you just now, I can conclude that the reason you are like this must be something you ate."

"And it happened in the past few days."

"Village chief, I want to ask, do you have a common place?" Xueying asked again.

Hearing him say this, the village chief thought about it and suddenly thought of a place.

"Ancient well."

"Oh? Can we go there to take a look?"

"Sure." The village chief hurriedly took the two out, and they also put the firewood they brought to the village chief's home.

Then, following the village chief, they went to the ancient well. While walking, the village chief also told them about the ancient well.

"This ancient well is the source of water for our entire village. Without it, we would need to go dozens of miles away to fetch water, so we usually share the water in the ancient well."

"Our village has a history of hundreds of years, and nothing has happened all along! It can't be the ancient well, right?" The village chief was actually quite worried that something might happen to the ancient well. If it was really an ancient well, their future lives would be difficult.
