Chapter 103: Demon Poison
Gently I leave, just as I gently came; I wave my hand, bidding farewell to the clouds in the western sky. The small island in the Ten Thousand Demon Sea is the place of my happiness; the beautiful shadows in the rippling light sway in my heart...
Softly humming an adapted version of "Farewell to Tiger Shark Island," Zhang Xingyu reluctantly stepped onto his flying sword and left this place that would haunt his dreams.
At the hilt of the sword, the sea breeze blew, and the fragrance was refreshing.
Admiring the beauty with fluttering clothes in front, Zhang Xingyu's poetic inspiration erupted again.
"The beauty is like a flower across the clouds! Above is the long sky of the blue void, below are the rippling waves of the clear water. The sky is long and the road is far, the soul flies in pain; the dream soul cannot reach the mountain pass."
In front, Tang Yunxi's figure paused, and her pretty face flushed red.
After a moment, she turned her head and feigned anger: "Shut up. Lecher, if you talk nonsense again, I will throw you off the sword."
Zhang Xingyu shut up, and Tang Yunxi fell silent.
The two listened to each other's heartbeats and stood motionless on the flying sword, flying forward.
In less than half an hour, the shadow of Golden Money Island appeared in the distance.
Tang Yunxi turned her head and solemnly instructed Zhang Xingyu: "Lecher, you are not allowed to talk nonsense to others about what happened between us on Tiger Shark Island."
Zhang Xingyu looked at her, blinked his eyes, and asked: "Senior Sister Yunxi, what happened between us on Tiger Shark Island? Why don't I know?"
"Pfft!" Seeing his serious appearance, Tang Yunxi couldn't help it anymore and laughed softly.
At the same time, on Golden Money Island.
The array was fully activated, and everyone was on alert, as if facing a great enemy.
Cheng Haonan looked at the shining city wall and asked Fang Shiwen softly: "Senior Brother Fang, the beast tide usually erupts once every hundred years, but this time it erupted thirty years early; I'm afraid there's something tricky about it."
Fang Shiwen nodded: "It is a bit strange. I have already sent a letter back to the academy about this matter. Fortunately, most of the junior brothers and sisters who went out for trials have already retreated to Golden Money Island. With the impregnable protection here, I think the losses of this new student off-campus trial will not be too great."
On the side, Ouyang Lanlan interjected: "Senior Brother, Fifth Senior Brother, I heard that Zhang Xingyu was seriously injured, and Tang Yunxi is still on Tiger Shark Island treating him? Should we send someone to notify them to come back?"
Fang Shiwen looked at Ouyang Lanlan and smiled softly: "Junior Sister Ouyang is thoughtful. This matter will have to trouble Junior Brother Cheng to make a trip."
"Okay. I'll go right now." Cheng Haonan agreed.
Just as he was about to move, he heard someone shouting loudly on the city wall: "Fairy Yunxi is back! Fairy Yunxi is back!"
At the city gate, Tang Yunxi had just landed from her flying sword, and a group of trial students had already surrounded her.
What the hell?
Zhang Xingyu was confused.
In front, Tang Yunxi was surrounded by a group of students asking questions.
"Fairy Yunxi, are you okay? I heard you were trapped on Tiger Shark Island."
"Senior Sister Yunxi, it's good that you're back. I heard the beast tide erupted early, and we were worried about you."
"Senior Sister Yunxi..."
Tang Yunxi answered a few sentences kindly and walked inside surrounded by them.
No one paid any attention to Zhang Xingyu.
At this very moment, he was just a puff of air.
Rubbing his nose, Zhang Xingyu followed behind the crowd and walked slowly into the city gate.
"Brother Xingyu, Brother Xingyu."
Just as he stepped into the city gate, Zhang Xingyu heard Zhu Dafu's voice.
Zhang Xingyu looked in the direction of the sound and saw Zhu Dafu waving at him beside the city gate.
Zhu Dafu's face was full of joy, and there were tear stains in his joy.
Zhang Xingyu patted his shoulder: "Zhu Fatty, are you very happy to see Brother back?"
Zhu Dafu nodded.
"Since you're happy, why are you crying like a ghost!" Zhang Xingyu gave his head a light tap.
"I'm just happy." Zhu Dafu rubbed his head and said.
Zhang Xingyu nodded and then asked: "Zhu Fatty, where are Brother Hu Si and Bai Xiaosheng? Weren't you in a team with them? You are here, why didn't they come?"
Hearing Zhang Xingyu's inquiry, Zhu Dafu's eyes suddenly dimmed.
"Brother Hu Si is injured, and Bai Xiaosheng is nursing him on the side." Zhu Dafu said.
Zhang Xingyu was shocked.
"Fourth Brother is injured? Where is he injured? Is it serious?" Zhang Xingyu grabbed Zhu Dafu's arm and asked.
Zhu Dafu's voice was low: "He was poisoned by a demon, and the situation is particularly bad."
"Demon poison?" Zhang Xingyu asked.
Zhu Dafu nodded: "The great demon's poison is very powerful."
"Take me to see him immediately."
After Zhang Xingyu finished speaking, he pulled Zhu Dafu and left.
On Golden Money Island, beside the Sky Blue Lake, in a small hut.
Hu Siping was tightly tied to a bed.
His whole body was blood-red, his face was ferocious, and he was struggling while making low hisses.
"Fourth Brother, Fourth Brother, it's me, Xingyu." Zhang Xingyu grabbed his arm and shouted.
"Uh, uh." Hu Siping stared at him tightly, as if a vicious dog had seen a bone.
He opened his big mouth and stretched his neck, wanting to bite off Zhang Xingyu's throat.
"Brother Xingyu, stop shouting; Fourth Brother has already lost his sanity." On the side, Bai Xiaosheng advised.
"How did Fourth Brother become like this?" Zhang Xingyu asked with red eyes.
Hearing Zhang Xingyu's inquiry, Zhu Dafu told the story of what happened.
It turned out that when Zhang Xingyu and the others were attacked by the great demon on Tiger Shark Island, Hu Siping and the others were also attacked by a great demon on another small island.
The one attacking them was a fifth-rank deep-sea red snake. This red snake transformed into a charming red-clothed woman, wielding a two-inch-long willow-leaf flying knife.
That willow-leaf flying knife was transformed from the demon snake's fangs. Those who were hit by the knife either died on the spot or were poisoned by the demon.
"Brother Hu Si was slightly luckier; he was only hit on the wrist. But this demon poison is very powerful; several senior brothers and sisters who led the team couldn't remove it. Senior Brother Fang Shiwen said that the demon poison Brother Hu Si has can only be cured by the demon snake's bile. If we can't get the demon snake's bile, Brother Hu Si will probably turn into a demon-man, lose all his sanity, grow scales all over his body, and bite anyone he sees. If he really becomes like that, Brother Hu Si probably can't be kept." Zhu Dafu said.
"Didn't those senior brothers and sisters think of other ways?" Zhang Xingyu asked loudly.
His words were full of anger.
This is understandable. Hu Siping had been through thick and thin with him for many years. His relationship with Hu Siping was not that of biological brothers, but better than biological brothers.
Zhu Dafu knew Zhang Xingyu was anxious and didn't get angry.
He continued to answer: "The senior brothers and sisters thought of many ways, used all kinds of detoxifying spirit pills, but none of them worked. Besides, it wasn't just Brother Hu Si who was hit by the snake demon's flying knife; several other students were hit too."
"Is it true that only the snake demon's bile can cure it? Bai Xiaosheng, you are well-informed, you tell me, is there any other way." Zhang Xingyu asked unwillingly.
Bai Xiaosheng scratched his head: "Brother Xingyu, in our academy, Senior Brother Fang Shiwen has the highest alchemy skills and is proficient in medical principles. He said he needs the demon snake's bile, so it must be the demon snake's bile."
Zhang Xingyu fell silent.
The great demon's bile, is that easy to get?
But, who is Hu Siping? He is someone who was willing to sacrifice his life for him. He cannot sit and watch him die.
The great demon's bile, no matter what, must be obtained.
Just at this moment, a "woo-woo-woo-woo" sound of a conch shell came from outside the door.
Immediately after, someone shouted loudly: "Demon beasts are coming, the beast tide is coming." ===== CHAPTER 104 =====
