After the Fairy Disappeared

  Chapter 257 Mysteries

  He Lingchuan followed closely, only to realize something was wrong:

  Why did she rush over so quickly?

  He followed the monster one after the other, running faster than a rabbit, and overcoming countless obstacles in the middle. Is that something ordinary people can keep up with?

   Also, he listened to all directions during the fight, and even though the thick fog hadn't cleared at that time, he didn't hear her approach at all.

   Don’t say it’s him, the two monsters don’t exist either, otherwise how could they be caught?

  After becoming suspicious, he looked at the clothes on Sun Fuling's body again, and there was no hot water or green liquid splashed on her.

   It was obviously such a fierce fight that even his own clothes were etched with green liquid and had several small holes, but she was able to not get a drop of it on her body.

  Is she really just a teacher of Shumin Academy?

  Sun Fuling didn't care what he was thinking, and pointed to the ground after entering the room: "Look."

  A 60-year-old man was lying on the ground, his frightened expression was still frozen on his face, but his whole body was shriveled and skinny, as if it had been sealed in vacuum plastic.

   She also had a big hole in her neck.

  He Lingchuan knelt down and took a look, then said: "Her flesh and blood have been drained, it seems that the monster eats people."

  Sun Fuling also said: "The head of the family you rushed to earlier was a young mother, and the body also looked like this."

  So the monster has two ends, each of which sneaked into the house to eat, and he found one of them, so he ran to meet his companions to fight back?

   "How could such a monster appear in Panlong City?" Panlong City is a rare peaceful place in this turbulent continent. Although the rules are strict, the security is also very high, so that people can live and work in peace.

  Sun Fuling asked him: "What are you going to do now?"

  Before the words were finished, the outer door was pushed open with a creak, and four or five people rushed in.

  He Lingchuan walked outside the house, and happened to meet with several guards.

   "What's going on here?" No one could ignore the monster on the ground, and these people were all startled.

  They happened to be patrolling nearby, and the fight between the monster and He Lingchuan was too loud, which alarmed the residents to report to them.

  They thought it was an ordinary family dispute, but they didn't expect to drink as soon as they entered the door!

He Lingchuan was on vacation and was not wearing patrol clothes, so he took out the bone necklace and shook it at several people: "About forty breaths ago, we heard children screaming on the way home and found two monsters hurting people. Caught one end, the other ran away."

  In the eyes of the people of Panlong City, the sacred bone necklace is a sign of identity. These people immediately said: "Which direction did you escape?"

   "The east side. It is agile." He Lingchuan pointed out, and three people rushed in that direction.

  The remaining two guards entered the house, saw the mummy on the ground at first glance, and heard He Lingchuan said that there were two other victims not far away, so their expressions became more solemn.

  They asked about the incident in detail and repeatedly, and said to the two: "We will report it as soon as possible, please leave first. If necessary, we will ask you for further inquiries."

  He Lingchuan just nodded, when Sun Fuling suddenly gasped: "Look!"

  The screaming sound of the monster has weakened. When everyone looked down, its body was shrinking rapidly.

   It was originally as tall as He Lingchuan, but now it has shrunk severely, shrinking to the size of a fist under the eyes of everyone!

  This is not much bigger than a newborn kitten.

   After shrinking, it doesn't look so scary, but it's still weirder than before.

  Even the guards were stunned: "This, this?" Do you want to go back to work with this thing?

  Sun Fuling poked the monster with a branch: "Alive, not dead. I think it is a larva, not yet fully developed."

   "The larva..." He Lingchuan's face was ugly. Was he almost defeated by two ungrown monster hatchlings just now? It's a shame to say it.

  The juveniles are so fierce, how can the adults survive?

   "How can this kind of thing sneak into the city?" Panlong City's gate card is very special.

  Sun Fuling sighed: "Let's go, let the officials do the work."

  The two went out, and the outside was crowded with onlookers. As soon as they saw them coming out, they asked why.

  Sun Fuling managed it in a few words.

   On the way home, both of them were silent.

   The strange appearance of the monster seemed to cast an ominous cloud over both of them.

Got home.

  Sun Fuling did not push the door to go back, but glanced behind him twice: "You are injured, why don't you deal with it?"

   "Uh..." He didn't really care about it at first, after all, after exiting the dream and entering again, the body will be better, and it can be resurrected after death. But when she mentioned this, he felt pain again, "I'll go to A Luo to deal with it."

  Sun Fuling hesitated before saying, "I'll give you the medicine, if you don't mind."

   "I don't mind." He Lingchuan scratched his neck, "Of course I don't mind, please come in."

  The two walked into He Lingchuan's courtyard.

  His room was too small, and the two of them couldn't turn away, so they simply went into the kitchen. Sun Fuling moved the small bench to the bright window and said to him, "Sit."

   Before He Lingchuan could see clearly, Sun Fuling raised the brazier, and added two small pieces of charcoal and a small bundle of firewood into it.

  The house that was frozen to death is warming up bit by bit.

  He Lingchuan asked her: "Do you want to take off your clothes?"

   "No need." Sun Fuling looked at his back, "The blood scab is stuck to the clothes, it's not good to tear it off."

  She went to the inner room to take out the scissors and the applied wound medicine, and walked behind He Lingchuan: "If it hurts, just tell me."

  The coldness of the metal soon came from the back, and He Lingchuan knew that she was using scissors to cut the clothes stuck to the wound.

  The monster's sharp claws made a long cut on his back, the two wounds were almost parallel, the flesh was turned outward, and the blood oozing out was light green and foamy.

   "You are poisoned." After cleaning the wound, Sun Fuling held a pill in his hand and handed it to him, "At least two detoxification pills are needed, one for internal use and one for external application."

  He Lingchuan looked at her hand and said nothing.

"What's wrong?"

   "This is not my elixir, is it?"

   "Mine, um, my brother's." She crushed the other one and applied it to the wound. He Lingchuan felt a chill on his back, and just about to shiver, it immediately turned into scorching heat.

   Ice and fire, ice and fire are two heavens.

   "Hiss—" it was scalded until the flesh was almost cooked. He remembered that he had never had a medicine that was so powerful.

  Sun Fuling pressed his shoulder to keep him from moving: "It's very effective, just bear with it."

   Sure enough, the hot feeling faded away quickly, and turned into a pleasant coolness, which greatly relieved the pain. Sun Fuling wiped off the scum from the wound, and the blood that came out was bright red.

   Then she quickly wrapped the Jinchuang medicine.

  He Lingchuan could feel her fingers pressing lightly near the wound, which was also icy cold. But she got very close, and her breath was warm on his back.

  From entering the house to applying the medicine, this girl Sun is quick and unexpected.

  He had nothing to say: "Why did those two monsters appear in the city today?"

  Sun Fuling didn't raise her head: "They shouldn't be able to get in by themselves."

"Yes, if they are really juveniles, then 90% of them were brought into the city by someone." He Lingchuan said in a low voice, "This thing fights by instinct, which is comparable to me. I don't know how powerful the adults are. What's it like?"

   "What I'm more worried about is that there are more than one or two of these things." Sun Fuling sighed, "We can find two on the way home, what about others?"

   That kind of monster can also shrink, hiding in the huge Panlong City is almost invisible. How can these things be found out?

   "The one we caught has already been sent to the authorities?" She said softly, "I hope to find a countermeasure as soon as possible. Alright—"

  She patted He Lingchuan on the shoulder: "The medicine has been prescribed, don't get wet today and tomorrow, don't sleep on your back, understand?"

   "Understood, Dr. Sun—" He Lingchuan said with a smile, "Your skills are no worse than A Luo."

   Arok is much rougher than her.

   There seemed to be a chuckle coming from behind.

  Next, Sun Fuling disposed of the blood and the dirty things she had replaced, and washed her hands again. Then she yawned, with a tired look on her face: "It's over, I have to go back to sleep for a while."

   "Be careful and call me if you need something."

"Well." She was going to leave with the book in her arms, but after thinking about it, she turned around and handed the book to He Lingchuan, "I'll lend it to you first. You can just throw it back in my yard after you finish reading it." After finishing speaking, she waved her hand and pushed the door open went in.

  He Lingchuan spread his palm and looked at it when he heard the creaking of the wooden door next door.

  The female neighbor's hands are like shuttles, with long and slender fingers, which are really beautiful, almost glowing white in the dark room. But just now when Sun Fuling handed him the pill, he clearly noticed that there was a thin layer of callus on the pad and base of her right finger—

   Same as him.

  He is a cocoon born out of martial arts training. Where is Sun Fuling? Could it be chopping firewood for cooking and housework?

   Oh, impossible.

   Reminiscent of his fierce fight between the two monsters, it was Sun Fuling who gave the key assist, otherwise he would inevitably fall into a life-and-death battle.

   Not even he was aware of her approaching.

  Besides, what girl wouldn't turn around and run away when she met that kind of monster? This Miss Sun is surprisingly calm when things happen. Is it because she is bold?

  The more He Lingchuan thought about it, the more he felt that his neighbor was full of doubts.

  The two books she lent him are with him.

  He picked it up and took a look. It was called "The Tales of the Middle Ages", and there were two volumes.

  He flipped through it casually, and found that the contents of this book were all kinds of legends, rumors, and strange things from the Middle Ages, and its authenticity was doubtful. After all, even the author himself has made it clear that he only collects and does not verify it, so everyone can enjoy it.

  With the catastrophe of heaven and earth as the boundary, it was called the ancient period before that, and the middle ancient period after that, until eight hundred years ago.

  After that, the Kingdom of Humanity truly matured and prospered, and the Dao Sect declined correspondingly, no longer occupying a dominant position.

  Then the Middle Ages was actually a long period of more than 2,000 years. How many things happened during this period is difficult to verify nowadays.

  He Lingchuan did not expect that such a serious teacher as Sun Fuling would also like such a nonsensical idle book.

   That's all, nothing to do at home, so he can pass the time with these two books.

   Unexpectedly, he was so fascinated by this sight that he was not willing to take a sip of water.
