Chapter Thirteen: The Evil Seed

The young officer changed his mind again at the last moment. He hoped that he would be persevering and ruthless, but he was not ready to be a bad person.

"Don't touch it!"

The warning did not work, and he turned around and ran to the oil lamp in the yard. With his brief understanding of Taoist spells, he knew that only this thing might be able to withstand the magic of Blue Flower.

Xiaoqiu didn't hear the officer's reminder at all. His heart was almost about to burst out from his chest. With the encouragement of his friends, he grabbed the blue flower stem.

A very comfortable coolness spread throughout the body in an instant, and the whole person seemed to be soaked in the cool river water. The pores of the whole body opened hard, allowing the river water to enter the body and even soaked the internal organs.

When the coolness gathered on the top of the head and flew out of the body, the second feeling followed, which was the warmth that was most suitable after the cold. Xiaoqiu immediately felt a layer of sweat, and his body was so comfortable that he almost curled up, like a baby lying in his mother's arms.

Xiaoqiu's whole body was soft and she had forgotten to break the blue flowers. Her friends didn't urge her, and her face was full of intoxicated expressions. Then the third feeling came.

Pain, a pain that Xiaoqiu had never experienced in his twelve years of life. The coolness and heat in front were like washing the container that had been covered with dust for a long time. Now it was a drastic transformation of the container. Xiaoqiu only felt that there was a sharp knife in his body skillfully pressing against the bones to remove flesh and blood, and there was no stop in the middle.

"Ah--" Xiaoqiu's scream pierced the silence of the late night.

The teenagers were awakened by this unexpected sound, looking at each other in panic, not understanding how they could kneel outside the house.

"Let go." Fangfang was the first to react.

It’s not that Xiaoqiu didn’t want to let go, but he was stuck. The delicate blue flower was not merciless at all. It seemed that countless small and sharp tentacles were stretched out from the stems, piercing the skin and wrapping around the bones in circles.

In Grandma Feng's yard, the officer had already taken the oil lamp from the top of the wood. When he heard Xiaoqiu's continuous screams, he hesitated again. The oil lamp in his hand was the only protective barrier. If it was thrown out without effect, he would be in extreme danger.

He didn't know much about the demon seeds, but a five-element mage died in the forest just after being touched by the demon seeds. The officer didn't want to take risks.

"Pull him apart!" The officer didn't think much, but hoped that this move would work well and there would be no need to use an oil lamp.

The teenagers were panicked and immediately put it into practice when they heard the officer's advice. Ershuan and Fangfang each grabbed one of Xiaoqiu's arms, and Daliang, Erliang and others also started to help.

Xiaoqiu's palm did not leave the blue flower, but the teenagers in Yelin Town were one after another. No one could take off his hands and couldn't help but scream.

"I'm so hot, I'm almost out of reach."

"I'm about to freeze."

"Why am I trembling?"

"Oh no, my arms...my whole body seems to be melting."

Everyone's feelings and reactions were different. The pain like a knife in Xiaoqiu's body was relieved a little. He was already awake and knew that something was wrong. "Let go, don't touch me!"

It is impossible to let go. The nine teenagers in Yelin Town are connected together, each feeling different tortures, and the blue flower gradually withered in front of them.

"Spit out the inner alchemy!" The officer hiding in the yard held the oil lamp and came up with another idea. Seeing the tragic situation of the young people, he didn't want to let go. "The demon seed must have come for the inner alchemy."

Xiaoqiu knew that the officer was right, because the inner elixir in his chest, which he thought should be the inner elixir, was spinning wildly in a very narrow range. He could no longer feel his true heart. The inner elixir was jumping in his chest. It was fighting the invasion of the magic seed, but it was isolated and helpless and could not get any support from his master.

Xiaoqiu is not Li Yuechi, without the cultivation level of the Five Elements Master, the inner alchemy is trapped in a weak body and can only exert extremely small power.

Xiaoqiu grabbed the flower stem with his right hand, and his left arm was tightly held by several teenagers. He tried hard to retching, but he couldn't spit out anything.

The blue flowers have withered more than half, like a thin old woman with wrinkles, showing her hideous appearance.

Ershuan was one of the closest people to Xiaoqiu. He shouted "Let me do it", stretched out his free left hand, stuffed it into Xiaoqiu's mouth and thrust it around.

Xiaoqiu still didn't vomit, but instead bit her teeth tightly and almost bit off a few of Ershuan's fingers.

"Wait." In the critical moment, Fangfang's brain was clearest in the middle of a group of boys. "We can't stop it even more when we can resist the demon species and spit out the inner elixir."

Xiaoqiu stopped working hard, Ershuan was anxious and angry, turned his head and shouted at the officer across the road, "Isn't you here to help?"

When the officer saw Ershuan's red face, he felt a sense of fear. He pushed open the wood door and walked onto the road. After a few steps, he stopped, "Your name is Ershuan?"

"Yes, think about it quickly if there are any other tricks?"

The officer chuckled twice, then his face darkened, and he said seriously: "Tell you, my surname is Xin, my name is Xin Youtao, and he is the dignified prince of Xijieguo. He is the master of you little fools. He came to the frontier to join the army and trained on his father's order. He didn't expect to encounter a snake demon, which fell into your hands accidentally. Look, this is the price you kidnapped me and tortured me."

Xin Youtao looked down at the oil lamp in his hand and found that the light had begun to weaken. He quickly raised his other hand to protect it and continued to say to the shocked teenagers: "I have to leave. I want to mobilize the Xuan Fu Army of Xiaoer Fort to come and eliminate the demons. I hope the demon seeds will not kill you, but will make you all become demons."

Xin Youtao distinguished the direction and followed the official road to the west.

Ershuan was furious, "Boy, bastard, come back quickly, I want to beat you up..."

Xin Youtao will not come back. He has made up his mind that the lives of all the residents of Yelin Town combined are not as important as a prince. He is a person who wants to do great things. If he wants to become a real king, he must make a quick decision. Since the teenagers are invaded by the demon seeds without listening to advice, he does not need to take the risk to save people.

The figure of the prince of Nishisuke quickly disappeared into the darkness and took away the only light source.

It was midsummer, but the teenagers felt a sudden chill. The silly man who had just shouted was too hot, and his body shivered and said in a crying voice: "Are we... going to die? We all blame Xiaoqiu. If he hadn't snatched Fangfang, if he hadn't had to touch this flower, there would be nothing wrong, and the bald man wouldn't have died..."

The boy's heart was like a shallow stone plate, unable to hold much water, and it was replaced quickly. Lone's words suddenly brought everyone into panic.

Only Erliang said indignantly: "Have Xiaoqiu asked you for help? Everyone was voluntarily, even bald. When you first saw this flower, weren't you too dazed? What are you talking about at this time?"

If it were normal, Langzi would definitely challenge Erliang, but he was not at all competitive now, sobbing and crying, "I don't want to die. My father just found someone to call me a big bed, and I haven't slept for a few days."

Daliang is the oldest among these teenagers, but he is not very brave at all. "My father said he will buy calfs in the New Year, and I will herd cattle for my own house... Brother Xiaoqiu, Brother Xiaoqiu, think of a solution."

"Brother Xiaoqiu" is a habitual name for shepherd boys, and Daliang, who is one year older than Xiaoqiu, also called it that.

Now that things have come to this, Ershuan felt that he should say something, "What's scary? If you die, you will die. It's fun to die together..."

"What if I can't die and become a monster?" Lengzi was Ershuan's best friend, but he was not in the mood to help him. "The prince said that he wanted to bring Xuan Fu Jun to eliminate monsters. If I become a monster, my father wouldn't let me in the house, wow..."

Since he beat a runny child two years ago to beg for mercy, Lunzi hasn't cried so hard in public for a long time. Even when his parents were holding sticks to chase him all over the street, he has never been soft-hearted.

Ershuan was so upset that he didn't want to become a monster. He ended up becoming a snake monster. He was poked so hard that his whole body was filled with holes. So he tried hard on his arm, hoping to pull Xiaoqiu away or let go, but it was useless. His whole right arm was as soft as noodles, and only his palm was firmly held on Xiaoqiu's arm, and he couldn't move at all.

"Get the dagger!" Xiaoqiu shouted.

"What?"

"I have a dagger in my arms, Ershuan, take it out and cut off my wrist."

Ershuan Dawu immediately reached into Xiaoqiu's arms, took out the ruby-inlaid dagger, opened his mouth and bit the sheath, pulled out the dagger, raised it and chopped it on Xiaoqiu's wrist. The only thing he regretted was that the big sword was left in the house, otherwise it would have been used long ago.

"Wait." Fangfang shouted, her face turned red, and she felt light all over. She could fly at any time without any other teenager's burden. This feeling was not good, because while she became lighter, she also became thinner, and seemed to be about to melt into the air, "Don't cut his hand."

Ershuan stopped with his raised hand, and Lanzi urged behind him: "Hurry up, that flower is about to be absorbed by us. Fangfang, don't worry, Xiaoqiu, who has broken hands, can be your husband."

Xiaoqiu also shouted: "What are you waiting for!"

Er Shuan didn't hesitate anymore and cut the dagger towards Xiaoqiu's wrist holding the flower stem tightly.

The blue flowers that had withered into a ball suddenly bloomed again, like a wild beast waiting for an opportunity to open its bloody mouth and prepare to launch a fatal blow.

Ershuan screamed, his hands softened, and the dagger fell to the ground. Then the teenagers in Yelin Town were pushed by a powerful force and flew in all directions, landing more than a dozen steps away.

Only Xiaoqiu did not move, the blue flowers drooped and withered again, and it only wanted one person.

"It's really here to find the inner alchemy!" Ersun shouted, sitting on the ground, just like others, never wanting to get close to Xiaoqiu anymore.

Fangfang stood up and ran towards Xiaoqiu like crazy. Ershuan and Erliang jumped up at the same time, holding her tightly.

Xiaoqiu picked up a dagger from the ground, and said to the listless blue flower with anger: "I want an inner alchemy? I'll give it to you now." After that, he raised the dagger and stabbed it in his chest.

The dagger was about to fall, and a voice suddenly appeared in Xiaoqiu's mind, majestic, cold, and ruthless, saying in an unquestionable tone: "Let go."
