The last bowl of herbal medicine was also dispensed. Tang San wiped the sweat from his forehead, picked up a bowl of medicine, and walked to Xiao Wu, who was still cleaning the wounds of the unconscious villagers. As he handed her the medicine, he asked in a low voice, "Xiao Wu, did you feel any discomfort after you woke up?"
Xiao Wu shook her head blankly, "I don't feel anything wrong. What's wrong, Xiao San? Why do you ask?"
Tang San frowned, suppressing the worry in his eyes, and found an excuse, "I was just afraid that the ape-faced man's mental control still had some effect on you, and we've been busy for so long, I was afraid you weren't feeling well."
So he was worried about her. Xiao Wu's heart was filled with sweetness, and she smiled and replied, "I'm fine. I'm a Soul Emperor now, after all. Besides, I didn't participate in the previous battle. It's you guys who fought hard with those wolf bandits for so long and then worked for most of the night. Why don't you take a rest too?"
Tang San shook his head, a touch of gentleness added to his smile, "I'm fine. Didn't you forget that after my Blue Silver Emperor awakened, as long as my cultivation is continuous, I can recover endlessly? Alright, I'll go get medicine for the next person."
"Okay!" Xiao Wu readily agreed, her attention returning to the patient she was caring for, carefully lifting his head to feed him medicine.
Seeing Xiao Wu seemingly forget about the matter, Tang San stood up and casually glanced at Tang Sui, who was helping the surviving villagers bandage their wounds. That ape-shaped mask was extremely adept at mental control. Although he had checked Xiao Wu and the others with his Purple Demon Eyes and found no abnormalities, he still didn't quite believe that those masks he had met twice hadn't left any backup plans. Sudan Fiction Network.
Tang Sui was looking down, diligently cleaning the bloody wound for the woman. The bloodstains on her forehead were gradually wiped away under her handkerchief, revealing a ghastly gash. The woman weakly opened her eyes and saw a beautiful young girl smiling at her, reassuringly. The woman's dry, bloodless lips moved. Before a trace of gratitude could surface, her pupils suddenly constricted with intense fear.
Tang Sui looked at the suddenly startled woman and asked with some confusion, "What's wrong?"
"No, no..." hoarse, tuneless sounds emanated from her lips. The woman closed her eyes, concealing the depths of her gaze, and cast away the twisted phantom image behind the smiling girl from her memory, unwilling to think about it further.
But Tang San, who had been watching, changed color instantly. He saw the phantom figure wearing a fox mask turn its gaze from the woman to himself, raise a hand, and the slender index finger gently pressed below the pointed lips of the mask he was wearing, making a shushing gesture.
Shhh—
Don't say anything.
The consequences will be ones you won't want to see. The curve of the man's lips carried a hint of cruelty, causing Tang San's heart to sink. His fingers moved, and the purplish-gold light in his eyes had just intensified when, the next second, the illusory figure dispersed like a mirage. Tang Sui, sensing a hint of killing intent and turning his head, found nothing and frowned, confusion lingering in his eyes. Was it an illusion?
Tang San's lips tightened, and a sense of anger rose in his heart. But it wasn't directed at his sister, but at himself. What was their goal?
...
Sleepless night. The Shrek Nine Monsters, who had been busy for six or seven hours without rest, were all somewhat listless. They silently watched as, out of the two to three hundred people, only less than sixty had survived. Each of them looked sorrowfully at the graves they had helped dig, where their deceased loved ones were buried, weeping uncontrollably.
The Imperial Cavalry had already been informed by some villagers. Tang San and the others were not from this country and did not wish to create further trouble. After a brief word with some villagers, they drove their horse-drawn carriage and left the village. Ma Hongjun and the others had already fallen asleep from exhaustion in the carriage.
After a short rest, Tang Sui, who recovered extremely quickly due to her cheating ability, the demon power, drove the carriage for about thirty miles. It was almost dusk when they reached a secluded desolate valley and stopped the carriage. As soon as the carriage stopped, Tang San, who had been meditating and cultivating inside, suddenly opened his eyes. After observing the surroundings, he asked in confusion, "Suisui, why did you drive into the valley? Couldn't we have taken a direct route before? Why did you go off course?" He was full of questions; his sister shouldn't have a poor sense of direction.
"Huh? What do you mean off course?" Ma Hongjun's head snapped forward abruptly, his heavy head triggering an alarm in his brain. He woke up just before his body toppled forward and stabilized himself. Ma Hongjun's action woke Oscar, who was leaning against him, followed by Dai Mubai and Xiao Wu and the others in the next seat.
"What happened?" Ning Rongrong rubbed her sleepy eyes, unable to resist a yawn.
"Brother, can you first use the Sea God's Pavilion to enclose the carriage and the surrounding open space?" Tang Sui did not answer her companions but turned to Tang San and said.
Tang San's heart was filled with confusion, but he did as Tang Sui said, using the Sea God's Pavilion to enclose the carriage and a five-meter radius around it, completely isolating their aura from the outside world.
"Suisui, what do you want to do?" Tang San asked, his blue eyes filled with complete trust and gentleness. Tang Sui smiled, spread her fair palm, and the sudden burst of cyan light swept away everyone's sleepiness.
"I forgot to tell you earlier when we were in the village. After I wiped out the wolf bandit group, a Soul Bone condensed. It's a right leg bone. Judging from the wolf bandits' ability to boost their clan within their territory, the ability of this Soul Bone should be a phantomization function that greatly weakens physical attacks, or a bloodthirsty ability similar to berserk enhancement. I personally think this Soul Bone would be more suitable for Brother Dai. If Fatty's Evil Fire Phoenix were further infused with berserk power, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to handle it and would explode."
Tang Sui smiled as she dropped this bombshell, successfully startling the entire pond of fish.
"Good, good heavens, you could forget something so important..." Oscar finally stammered, pointing a trembling finger at the Soul Bone. Tang San also looked at Tang Sui helplessly and said, "You didn't actually forget, did you? You just felt it wouldn't be safe to have one of us absorb the Soul Bone in that environment, so you deliberately offered to drive the carriage when leaving the village, even taking a detour, with the aim of finding a secluded place to safely absorb the Soul Bone, right?"
Tang Sui blinked her eyes, "You found out~"
Ma Hongjun yawned and looked at Dai Mubai, "Brother Dai, since Suisui said so, you should quickly get off the carriage and absorb the Soul Bone. I'm really too tired. I'll sleep a little longer. Call me if anything happens."
Dai Mubai hesitated slightly, but seeing the trusting eyes of his companions, he let out a breath, got off the carriage, took the cyan Soul Bone handed by Tang Sui, walked to the side, and absorbed the Soul Bone into his right leg, then sat down cross-legged and began to absorb it. Although the Sea God's Pavilion ensured that the powerful soul power aura would not leak out, Tang Sui and the others took turns watching over Dai Mubai, protecting him.
—Author's Note—
The reason for being late today is that I finally got my hands on Genshin Impact. So, I opened the desert, and farmed the "Desert Book" from noon to eight in the evening. After finishing, Mo Li was completely dazed, with only two words in her mind: it was deadly.
