Oh my!
These words were domineering!
Cheng Xin couldn't help but give Ninth Uncle a thumbs up!
"Don't flatter me.”Ninth Uncle rolled his eyes and suppressed Cheng Xin and Qiu Sheng's thumbs up."Let's go. We'll go to the Mountain Herb Village on the way and get rid of their troubles. Cheng Xin, you have to seize the opportunity. The flesh and blood of demons are very nutritious.”
It was the best outcome for Cheng Xin and Qiu Sheng to resolve the storm peacefully.
Although Ninth Uncle was carrying a mahogany sword that even the Ghost King was afraid of, the outcome of the battle was still unknown. Moreover, the female ghost must have kept many ghosts around her. When all these ghosts rushed out, Chengxin and Survival could not guarantee that they would be able to leave safely.
Cheng Xin was still alright, at least there was a mutated zombie that ghosts were unwilling to get close to, but it was difficult for Qiu Sheng to protect himself.
They might be left in the valley.
"Taoist priest, you're finally here. This old man was so anxious!!”
At dawn, the three of them arrived at the village. The old village chief of the village held Uncle Nine's hand and refused to let go. He cried and sobbed, making Uncle Nine feel awkward. He couldn't do anything when he wasn't at home. After all, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai hadn't reached the stage where they could do business independently.
Cheng Xin and Qiu Sheng were supposed to come yesterday, but a female ghost ran out on the road and delayed the matter.
"Village Chief Yao, don't worry. Tell me what happened.”Ninth Uncle could not pull his hand away, so he could only let the old village chief hold his hand tightly.
Tears streamed down Elder Yao's face as she sobbed,""Taoist priest, we don't know what's going on in our village either. People started dying more than ten days ago. Every day, adult men were bitten to death. Their bodies were torn apart and scattered all over the mountain.! How should everyone spend this year!"
"Last night, two more people were taken away. If this continues, our Mountain Herb Village will probably be destroyed!!”
A ghost, a zombie, or a demon could destroy an entire village. This was not a joke. If too many people died, they would be afraid to beg him and move away. It was true that planting medicinal herbs in the village could make people live a rich life, but the prerequisite was that you had to be alive to enjoy it.
Ninth Uncle comforted Village Chief Yao for a while before he calmed down. Under the leadership of Village Chief Yao and some villagers, the group arrived at the ancestral hall of the village.
The bodies of the dead were placed here and had not been buried yet.
Fortunately, it was a demon that was causing trouble, so the corpse would not turn into a corpse. If it was bitten by a zombie, after more than ten days, the entire Mountain Herb Village would probably become a zombie paradise.
"Urgh ~"
Qiu Sheng and Cheng Xin's expressions turned ugly when the white cloth was lifted. Some young people at the scene retched on the spot, and a few women also wailed. Some of the deceased were their family members.
This could no longer be described as a corpse. It was simply a pile of rotten meat that was pieced together.
There were wounds all over the body, as if it had been bitten by some wild beast. But what kind of beast could easily get into the house and drag people away without making a sound? Even tigers and leopards couldn't do this. Moreover, ferocious beasts like tigers and leopards wouldn't deliberately destroy corpses. At most, they would eat them as food.
The corpses in front of him looked as if they had been deliberately torn apart by fangs and claws.
"It's a demon." Ninth Uncle tested it with the talisman paper. Seeing that the talisman paper had a reaction, he clearly told the villagers that it was a demon causing trouble.
"Village Chief, please send someone to take us to the mountain to take a look.”
There was no time to rest. Ninth Uncle wanted to check the damaged herbal field as soon as possible to see if he could find any clues.
Under the lead of the two young men, the group of people came to the place where the medicinal field was destroyed. The medicinal field was in a mess. All kinds of medicinal herbs had been dug out and eaten. Only the essence was eaten, and the rest was thrown away. From the traces of excavation, it was not man-made.
"Let's split up and see if there are any signs of them leaving.”
"Yes, Ninth Uncle (Master).”
Cheng Xin and Qiu Sheng parted ways and walked in different directions. At first glance, the mountain was filled with medicinal fields. However, all the medicinal herbs would be dug out now. This almost took the life of the village. The entire village relied on these medicinal herbs to survive, but in the end, it was all ruined.
Although the village was relatively rich, the cost of planting medicinal herbs was also very high. A year of hard work was completely destroyed, which was a huge blow to the villagers.
Most importantly, more than a dozen adult men had died in the village, which meant that a lot of labor force had been reduced, causing many families to lose their pillar of support. The loss of population was a greater blow than the destruction of medicinal herbs.
Cheng Xin recognized some of the herbs planted in the village, but there were also some that he did not know. After all, he was only a Taoist priest, not a traditional Chinese medicine doctor.
The destroyed medicinal herbs were gathered together by the villagers, almost piling up into a small hill. These medicinal herbs were no longer of much use. Even if they were sold, they would not fetch much money. After drying them, they would probably be burned by a fire.
What kind of monster was so vicious to eat people? Not only did it destroy all these medicinal herbs, but how much energy could he get from absorbing so many medicinal herbs?
"Discovered a large number of incomplete medicinal ingredients. Do you want to absorb the energy contained within them?”
Looking at the pile of useless medicine, Cheng Xin felt a little regretful. Unexpectedly, a system notification appeared in his mind.
"System, you can obtain energy by absorbing incomplete medicinal herbs?”
"Medicinal herbs are also considered precious materials of heaven and earth. Man-made medicinal herbs contain very little energy, and the incomplete energy is even less.”
"Absorb!"
Only a fool would not suck it.
These were useless herbs. If he inhaled them, it would not be considered a scam to the people of the Chinese Medicinal Herbs Village. These herbs were piled up in several piles. He should be able to obtain some energy. No matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat. He could not let it go.
Cheng Xin's eyes lit up, and a ray of light swept across the pile of waste medicine.
"Absorbed waste medicine, gained 300 energy points.”
300 points, not bad!
Cheng Xin's eyes lit up again. This time, it was because he was excited. It was the system scanning just now, and it had nothing to do with him. One thousand points of energy could only give him a chance to advance into a zombie, which was the common zombie advancement point. There were several piles of such useless medicine on the mountain. Absorbing all of them would give him almost one advancement point.
Since he couldn't find any clues, Cheng Xin simply strolled around the mountain and absorbed all the waste herbs. As for the herbs that hadn't been destroyed, Cheng Xin didn't touch them.
A person must have a bottom line. He could not do this to an honest herb farmer.
"Absorbed waste medicine and obtained 180 energy points. If the energy points exceed 1,000, the host will receive one zombie advancement point.”
This was definitely an unexpected gain!
Cheng Xin couldn't help but smile. Next, he only needed to raise the mutated zombie for a while, and then collect other materials to let the mutated zombie advance into an Armored Corpse Servant!!
