Chapter 48: Fooling the People, Ling Tian’s Thoughts
Ling Tian looked at the villagers. Most of them were skinny and the highest was only level one.
He really couldn't understand why this village, which was so poor that it could barely make ends meet, would prepare so many sacrifices.
There were even three children. It was unknown how long this memorial ceremony had been going on. Ling Tian felt that if it continued like this, the entire village would be gone soon.
Facing a level three monster like the Fire Sparrow, they were only afraid, but did not give up the memorial ceremony.
Too stupid.
Ling Tian took a few steps forward to untie the children, and then he found that the villagers suddenly stood up.
"Don't touch them!"
After one of the children was untied, his expression slowly changed from numb to ferocious, and his eyes turned red.
"Quick! Quick! Tie them up!"
At this time, Ling Tian discovered that these ropes seemed to have some special functions, and there was a tingling feeling in his hands.
The child opened his mouth and bit Ling Tian, and Ling Tian directly pinched his head and lifted him up.
Ling Yin's pupils shrank slightly, but soon returned to normal. She said timidly: "Master, what are they doing..."
An old man said tremblingly: "Tie them up quickly, they are possessed by evil spirits, only the mountain god can save them."
Evil spirit?
Ling Tian frowned, the child in his hand was still struggling, he tied him up again with a rope and used the identification on the child.
[Name]: Brain Gu
[Quality]: Low-grade ordinary
[Realm]: None
[Evolution Direction]: Insufficient Permission
[Evaluation]: Parasite-like creatures will slowly devour the host's brain and control it.
Now they are not in the beast control space, so Ling Tian cannot detect whether the child's brain has been devoured.
He thought of the zombie-like monsters before, who were not afraid of pain and died for Li Jiu without hesitation.
Could this brain Gu be a method of the Li family?
But why did they do this?
Ling Tian was puzzled.
"Ling Yin, go back to the Fire Sparrow. I have something to talk to these villagers about."
Ling Yin's acting skills are very good. She looked at the child with some fear and whispered: "Then...then young master, you should be careful."
No wonder he has not been exposed for more than ten years.
Ling Tian looked at the old man who had just spoken: "Old man, I want to ask you, what's the matter with these children?"
"Sorry, sir, the ceremony cannot be interrupted. If it goes on like this, the evil spirits will disperse."
The evil spirit he mentioned is the brain Gu. No one knows what this thing looks like and how big it is.
After the first time such an incident happened, the body of the deceased should have been carefully observed. After the host died, either the brain Gu would not crawl out immediately, or this kind of brain Gu was very small and difficult to observe with the naked eye.
Unable to find the cause of death, the villagers naturally put all the blame on the evil spirit.
"Then why did you throw them into the pond? Is there something in the pond that can purify the evil spirits?"
The old man looked very anxious, but Ling Tian was too powerful. Thinking of the pressure from the fire monster just now, his legs were a little weak.
"Throw them into the pond, the evil spirits in these children will be purified and will no longer possess others."
Ling Tian suddenly realized that it was because of this.
After sinking the brain insect to the bottom of the water, even if it will not be drowned, it will take a certain amount of time to come up, and it may also be intercepted by fish, so it will not spread so quickly.
This kind of insect is a bit weird, but these children...may still be saved.
Or if they really sink to the bottom of the pond, there will definitely be no way to survive.
Thinking of this, Ling Tian tried to put the three children into the beast control space. At this time, he found that the children did not disappear, and there seemed to be something more in the beast control space.
On the white ground, several white maggots the size of rice grains kept twisting.
If it weren't for the privileges in the beast control space, he might not be able to find this thing.
The beast control space can actually directly collect the brain poison. What is the principle?
Are these children still alive?
Ling Tian looked at the three children and found that one of them twitched on the ground for a while and then lost signs of life, while the other two still had numb expressions.
He untied one of them again. At this time, Ling Tian found that the child was like a fool, laughing and drooling.
While controlling the body, the brain poison will also eat the host's brain. The dead one may have almost eaten out his brain, and this one should have a part of the brain damaged.
The villagers looked unbelievable. The man in front of them just patted the heads of the three children lightly, and the evil spirits in them seemed to be really expelled.
Ling Tian untied the last child and found that he looked around blankly, as if he was trying his best to recall what happened before.
He should not have been poisoned for a long time, which is the best result.
If it was really the Li family, Ling Tian would have to identify all the family members when he returned. This sinister family would definitely attack the Ling family as well.
"The gods came down to earth and gave us help. We are grateful!" Suddenly, the old man knelt down and kept muttering.
——————
Ling Tian learned a little about the specific situation. This village has had people poisoned since last year. If the body of the first person is not handled in time, then the closest people to this person will also be infected.
Later, no one knew who took the lead and started the memorial service. At this time, they found that if the person possessed by the evil spirit was thrown into the bottom of the pond, then the people who had contacted before would be safe.
But later, things became more and more outrageous and evolved into what it is today.
Ling Tian shook his head. Not only the villagers, but even the Ling family had no way to deal with such poisonous insects.
If this kind of insect is not solved from the root, it will be more troublesome in the future.
At this time, he thought that he could not save the Ling family by himself. No matter how strong the individual strength is, it is just an individual.
He can't say that after he became stronger, he completely abandoned this family.
And the most important thing is....He has no reason. He was so useless before, but no one in the family came out to oppose him inheriting the position of the young master.
It's too abnormal.
But if he wants the family to keep up with his pace in the future, he should now plan how to improve the family.
The whole family contracts a dragon beast?
This seems a bit exaggerated.
However... the wolf beasts guarding the Ling family are indeed not very good.
He has a better way.
The general high-quality monster beasts of the ordinary level are rare, and each one is very powerful and difficult to contract.
But the thief dragons are different. They only need to reach the first level of strength to use the second-level monster core to evolve to the ordinary high-quality.
Then let's have a little thief dragon for everyone.
