Versatile Mage: I Awakened Nine Stars
Chapter 124 Good and Evil
Mu Ningxue suddenly fell ill, leaving everyone helpless and could only take one step at a time.
Even the healing mage is helpless, so this is definitely not an ordinary altitude sickness.
There are many plants in the meadow layer, and naturally it is also full of dangers.
There will be more and more swamps, poisonous insects, and monsters as you go deeper, and you will die if you are not careful.
But to make matters worse, the disease appears to be contagious.
In just half a day, almost everyone was paralyzed on Xiao Bai's back. Only Xu Shen, whose body was different from ordinary people, could barely hold on.
At this time, the entire team wilted like eggplants beaten by frost. Yu Mian's psychic magic came in handy here. The ripples in the heart rippled, and even the fiercest monsters would calm down.
However, there is always a time when psychic magic energy is exhausted.
"If this continues, there is no need to look for the white tiger, they will all die here." Xu Shen cut off a thorn bush to clear the way for Xiao Bai, looking at the gloomy sky with a wry smile.
"I heard that wherever poisons are found, there must be an antidote within seven steps." Lingling panted and struggled to say: "The meadow layer is rich in a plant called Mountain Frost Lotus, which is often used by locals to detoxify and heal injuries. , Xu Shen, look for it quickly."
……
The Mountain Frost Lotus is not difficult to find. Xu Shen and others passed through the place where a group of wolf monsters lived and saw the Mountain Frost Lotus all over the mountains and plains under a cliff.
The mountain frost lotus is about the size of a rose. It is all white and its petals are shining with crystal luster. They are spread out over the ground one by one in an orderly manner, dyeing this place into a holy and pure white wonderland.
"What a nice view……"
These girls were all very sick, but they still had the energy to take out their phones and take pictures.
If Isa could see it, she would love it too.
This warm and beautiful woman appeared in Xu Shen's mind again.
"Xu Shen, we have made a fortune." Tong Zhouzheng's eyes were shining: "Mountain Frost Lotus is extremely in demand. I wanted to buy some for spare use before, but I couldn't buy it at all. These Mountain Frost Lotus can sell for at least tens of millions. .”
"It's important to treat the disease first."
Xu Shen directed Xiaobai to go down the cliff and carefully picked a few small white flowers.
He picked out the petals, soaked them in drinking water and boiled them.
Not long after, the strong fragrance came out, and the patients seemed to have regained some energy, and their eyes were all focused on the clay pots.
"If I were you, I would pour out all this water." A slow voice gradually came from far and near.
"Who?" Xu Shen was shocked. With his perceptual ability, he didn't notice anyone approaching at all.
"It's not easy for humans to have a few talented little kids. Old man, I just happened to give you a few words of warning. I won't be so lucky next time."
A figure with white hair and beard seemed to shrink to an inch. In the blink of an eye, the voice became clearer and appeared in front of everyone.
"Who are you?" Xu Shen felt like facing a formidable enemy.
"Young man, it doesn't matter who I am. If you want to save their lives, you'd better not drink this water."
The old man has white hair and a childish face, a fairy-like spirit, and a green Taoist robe that looks extremely enigmatic.
"Does the old man know how to save their lives?" Xu Shen followed suit.
This old man definitely has a lot of cultivation. If he wants to harm them, there is no need to waste words.
"Haha, it's quite simple." The old man smiled and stroked his beard, and when he raised his hand, a light green light poured into everyone's body.
Then, one by one couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of reverse blood, mixed with disgusting green juice, and a bud demon with beard legs jumped out like a flea, and burrowed into the earth in panic.
"This is... a plant-based demon?" Xu Shen was shocked.
Plant monsters are far rarer than animal monsters.
But when it comes to plant creatures, most of them are more difficult to deal with than animal monsters of the same level.
They have the strongest camouflage skills and are proficient in the hunting skills of killing people invisible. They are the enemies that wild adventure teams are most afraid of encountering.
"Yes," the old man nodded and said: "These mountain frost lotus have turned into monsters. The pollen they spread will poison other creatures, and then induce the poisoned people to take the mountain frost lotus to detoxify, which is equivalent to swallowing them. These seeds will take root and sprout in the body of the poisoned person, using their body as nourishment to grow, and after a few years, a new Mountain Frost Lotus Demon will grow."
Everyone shuddered after hearing this.
"Can Mountain Frost Lotus also grow into a demon?" Tong Zhouzheng asked curiously.
"Animals can become spirits, why can't plants?" The old man raised his eyebrows.
"It's incredible." Tong Zhouzheng felt that all his reading over the years had been in vain.
"What a vicious monster," Lingling said angrily.
"Haha", the old man looked at Lingling kindly and said: "The way of heaven is always there, and everything goes smoothly. Do you think it is evil? Those who kill the life of the mountain frost lotus in order to cure diseases are not evil?"
"According to what you say, humans will simply stop living. Anyway, everything they eat is a living creature." Lingling spoke sharply and did not hesitate to attack.
The old man laughed and said: "Little girl, the strong will live and the weak will die. It is the law of nature. Whoever has a bigger fist is qualified to survive. Whether they are vicious or not is just human beings' self-righteous view of good and evil, which is hypocritical and boring."
Lingling wanted to speak, but she felt that the old man had some sense, and was stunned for a while.
"If you are poor, you will change. If you change, you will be prosperous. If you are prosperous, you will be long-term." The old man stroked his beard and said: "Because the mountain frost lotus has the effect of detoxifying and transforming plague, the ones picked by adventurers are almost extinct. For the continuation of the race, they will naturally change. It is them and nature’s choice to mutate into monsters. Little children, I would like to give you a message, don’t be constrained by narrow thoughts of good and evil. This world is very vast!”
The sound faded away, and a figure in green clothes gradually blurred...
"What a wise man," Tang Yue praised.
"Indeed, it is much better than those monks in the city who pester you to sell so-called consecrated treasures." Xu Shen nodded in agreement.
"Let's not mention those fake masters," Tang Yue said, "This master reminds me of someone."
"Who?"
"An old sweeping monk at Lingyin Temple," Tang Yue said, "Although he looks very ordinary, the old monk's eyes left a deep impression on me. Sometimes, just like Xiao Yumian, those eyes seem to Possessing the power to penetrate people’s hearts…”
"Stop chatting," Tong Zhouzheng said, staring at the frost mountain lotuses all over the ground with gleaming eyes, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry and pick them, it's all money."
Xu Shen said helplessly: "Don't waste your efforts. These mutated mountain frost lotuses have turned into demons. They should no longer have the effect of detoxifying. Be careful not to get poisoned again."
Tong Zhouzheng shook his head regretfully.
Lingling's eyes rolled around, obviously not wanting to return in vain, she said mysteriously: "Xu Shen, plant monsters are extremely rare. If you can get their monster seeds and sell them to plant mages, the value will be no more than General elemental differences.”
