Even though he was reduced to pieces of coke by Sekashi's powerful attack, Ertie still suffered from lesions.

The same is true for the epidemic patients we encountered before. This seems to be an unstoppable process.

I wonder if the disease will come back if nothing is left of it...

Some inexplicable thoughts flashed through Zhang Ming's mind.

"..."

Sekashi frowned deeply.

The blow she just made was naturally to verify her conjecture.

But now it seems that the situation is developing in the worst direction.

Although these disease patients are not difficult to deal with before they die, if the [lesion] cannot be stopped, it means that she has to kill the opponent twice in every battle to completely solve it.

Not to mention that the combat effectiveness of these disease patients before and after the disease is completely different.

"roar--"

The roar of the diseased Ertie roughly interrupted their thoughts. The thick horniness on its body suddenly began to vibrate, and the moss on its skin stood up densely like scales. Then, a pale pink mist began to spread.

At the same time, it roared and rushed towards Sekasi, its huge fist seemed to crush it into powder.

"Be careful, the gas must be poisonous!"

Zhang Ming shouted while activating the curse to generate a wax statue to provide help to Sekashi.

Zizzi!

Hearing this, Sekashi nodded slightly toward Zhang Ming, then raised his hand, and lightning condensed in his palm.

However, at this moment, something unexpected happened.

Boom——

Boom——

Boom——

The dull bell sound came from the back of the mine field and spread rapidly towards other areas.

The sick Etie's movements stopped abruptly at this moment. After stopping, he turned around and walked towards the source of the bell, his steps extremely stiff.

Sekashi frowned and was about to call out a prayer to kill him in one fell swoop.

But Zhang Ming hurriedly stopped the opponent: "Don't rush to kill it, let's check the situation first. It can definitely take us to the opponent's lair!"

Hearing this, Sekashi's raised hand slowly retracted.

Boom... boom...

The diseased Ertie is still moving forward with heavy steps.

If Zhang Ming remembered correctly, the diseased Etie should be walking in the direction of the [Healing] mark scrawled on the map, which should be the location of the [Healing Cave].

So, this bell is coming from the healing cave?

"This is the bell for treatment..." At this time, Yantong wiped away his tears and came to Zhang Ming's side. His voice was low: "Whenever the bell rings, everyone will go to that cave to receive treatment."

"I see." Zhang Ming touched his chin, then looked at him, paused and said, "Are you okay?"

"With all due respect, your Uncle Ertie... would be worse off now than..."

"I know." Yantong suppressed his grief and said to himself again: "I know..."

Zhang Ming didn't say anything when he heard this, he just sighed slightly and patted his shoulder.

At this time, Sekashi suddenly came over.

She also heard what Yantong had just said.

Then Zhang Ming saw the other party pick up the pamphlet.

"Follow it to the healing hole and take advantage of this opportunity to catch them all."

Damn it? !

Zhang Ming's eyelids jumped when he saw this, and he was extremely shocked by Sekashi's idea.

Girls, are you serious?

Yantong just said that all disease patients will enter the healing cave at this moment, which means that if there is a war inside, it will be the two of them fighting the entire Zero tribe.

This is not a good idea at all, is it?

But... Sekashi doesn't look like the kind of person who takes aim at nothing.

"Are you sure? Judging from the previous situation, when these disease patients become sick, they will fuse and become stronger."

"If all the lesions of the disease patients in the Healing Cave merge...how will you deal with it?"

Zhang Ming couldn't help but ask.

After all, Sekashi doesn't seem to be that ridiculously strong.

And judging from the performance of some wars, Sekashi should be at most the strength of a fire envoy.

"Stop talking nonsense, do you want to go or not? If not, leave this kid to me."

Sekashi was expressionless, determined to go directly to the healing hole.

When Zhang Ming saw this, his brows suddenly stood up.

Holy shit, who do you look down on?

We are distinguished players, how can we be afraid of a mere healing hole?

"Let's go." Zhang Ming was heartbroken.

Seeing this, Sekashi didn't say anything, took the rock copper, and the three of them quickly followed the footsteps of the diseased Etie.

However, I don’t know if it’s their illusion, but the speed of disease Eirte seems to be getting slower and slower.

"cough!"

Zhang Ming suddenly felt a bit itchy in his throat and coughed.

Sekashi and Yantong looked over immediately, thinking that something was wrong with him.

"It's okay, my throat is a little itchy." Zhang Ming explained awkwardly.

Sekashi and Yantong averted their gazes.

The three of them continued on their way.

Behind the mine field is a large steep uphill road, and occasionally there will be some caves dug by the Zeros to store tools and items.

Shrouded in the gray dust floating in the air, everything seemed so heavy and gloomy.

And as time went by, they also discovered that the speed of the diseased iron was indeed getting slower and slower, and it was not their illusion.

Boom!

Suddenly, the patient stopped and knelt down on one knee weakly.

Yan Tong felt uneasy when he saw this.

Although he knew that the Ertie in front of him was no longer what he used to be, he still couldn't help but feel very sad when he saw such a situation.

But then, something even more sad happened to him.

I saw that the diseased Etie suddenly began to cough violently, and the cough was as severe as if he wanted to cough out his internal organs.

Then, a horrific scene happened.

"Cough... vomit..."

The diseased Ertie began to vomit blood crazily, and the blood contained a large number of black lumps and rotten internal organ fragments.

In addition, there are many undigested ore fragments.

While the diseased Ertie was vomiting these filth, his body was also weakening rapidly, and he quickly changed from a burly monster to an empty shell with only a skeleton left.

"...it hurts...ah..."

Ertie uttered these last words hoarsely, and then his skin and muscles began to fall off rapidly, just like a cooked corpse, falling into the large pool of black filth.

Damn it!

Zhang Ming immediately leaned back, looking horrified and disgusted.

There was no other reason, it was naturally because the scene in front of him was too shocking.

"Uncle Ertie..." Yantong was horrified and his mind was shaken.

An elder he was familiar with in the past died in such a horrific and painful way right under his nose, and the mental impact can be imagined.

"Why did it die?"

Sekashi frowned and looked at Yantong.

"I...I don't know." Yantong shook his head, confused and in pain.

"...Find another person to follow. There must be more than one person going to the healing cave."

Sekashi quickly had an idea.

Before leaving, Yantong glanced blankly at Ertie's corpse and the pool of sticky filth.

Then, he turned his head, swallowed his saliva with empty eyes...

Things were indeed as Sekashi expected. The three of them found another disease patient to follow and headed towards the healing cave.

But this delayed a lot of time.

On the way, they also passed the [Big Cave] mentioned in the scrawled map, which is where the Zeros live, similar to a human town.

Due to the sound of the bells in the healing cave, there was no one in the large cave at this time.

While moving forward, Zhang Ming also saw the [Prayer Pit]. There was nothing interesting about this one. It was indeed a large open-air pit used for prayer.

After a uneventful journey.

The three of them finally saw the so-called [Healing Cave].

But Zhang Ming frowned at this moment.

Because the gray dust nearby is getting thicker at this moment!

Moreover, almost at the same time, Zhang Ming suddenly felt an unbearable dry itching in his throat.

"Cough cough cough!"

He coughed violently a few times, and then he felt a foreign object and a fishy sweet taste in his mouth. When he spit it out in the palm of his hand, he felt a thump in his heart.

A bloody tooth was in the palm of his hand.

At the same time, a prompt also sounded at this time.

[You have been eroded by the "epidemic", and abnormal progress is accumulating...10%]

[Note that after being eroded by this power, your attributes will gradually decrease as the disease deepens. 】

[Note that due to certain factors, if you die during this period, your body will enter a "disease" state until the body completely collapses. 】

"Grass! This gray dust must be poisonous...cough, cough!"

Zhang Ming was cursing while talking. The candleman actually coughed up blood. There was no doubt that this "epidemic" was to blame.

And the first thing he thought of was these gray dust floating in the air.

After all, those patients who have already contracted the epidemic will spit out gray dust with every breath, making the air turbid.

As he spoke, he pinched the teeth on his hand.

Then I discovered that the teeth were like crisp biscuits, which turned into crumbs with just a pinch.

He subconsciously licked the gap, and the fishy-sweet taste came through.

Oh shit!

The effect of this damn epidemic is exactly the same as the scene in my nightmare!

Zhang Mingtong felt his scalp numb. He had had such a dream many times and it was very impressive. He didn't expect that he would actually experience it now.

"Brother Xiao Ming, are you okay?" Yan Tong was startled and stepped forward to grab his sleeves worriedly.

Zhang Ming coughed violently twice again and waved his hands at the same time.

You’ve already been tricked, what else can you do? Just drag it.

"It's not without gain. At least I know the weaknesses of these diseased monsters..."

There was one point in the information prompt that was not very clear, but it was very important. Zhang Ming noticed it.

That is the phrase "entering a diseased state until the body completely collapses".

Judging from the previous situation of the diseased Ertie, these diseased monsters have an undoubted flaw, that is, the seemingly powerful diseased state is actually just a dying struggle.

Ignore it and it will collapse on its own.

But Zhang Ming hasn’t figured out that [specific factor] yet.

After telling this to Sekashi, the latter was also thoughtful.

"Fortunately, Sekashi, you are not infected..." Zhang Ming looked at Sekashi and said helplessly: "I don't have much time. Now, I can only go in directly."

Sekashi remained silent and had no intention of writing. He just nodded and then took the lead and walked into the healing cave.

The Healing Cave is actually a hill, which looks like it must have been hollowed out by the Zeros. There is a very conspicuous gap at the top, and a large bell hangs from it.

The voice that notified all Zeros obviously came from here.

After arriving at the entrance of the healing cave, the two guards saw that they looked obviously different from Zero, and they were furious and wanted to notify others at the same time.

But Sekasi obviously would not give them this opportunity and easily solve it.

"Or let him hide outside... he can't help anyway."

Zhang Ming coughed and looked at Sekasi.

The progress bar of this abnormal state will increase by one percent in about two minutes, which made Zhang Ming terrified.

This means that Zhang Ming only has two or three hours.

The time to die completely is much shorter than these natives. The candle man is really fragile...

"You stay outside and watch him."

Sekasi suddenly wrote down this sentence.

Seeing Sekasi's words, Zhang Ming was stunned for a moment, and then laughed dumbly.

"If you hadn't saved my life, I would have died long ago."

"Anyway, I can't hold on for long now because of the illness, so I might as well help you in the end, so that even if I die, it won't be a loss."

As he said, Zhang Ming smiled.

"Don't worry, we Candle Spirits can also be resurrected."

Sekasi was silent for a while, but finally nodded.

After that, Zhang Ming whispered a few words to Yan Tong, and then he and Sekasi slowly walked into the healing cave.

Yan Tong stared blankly at the two people leaving until they could no longer see their backs. The gray dust around him became thicker and thicker, and he became alone again.

After searching around for a while, Yan Tong came to a corner, leaned against the cold stone behind him, and slowly squatted down.

“…All the pain in the world comes from the sin in our hearts… Repent to God, cleanse the sin, and the pain and disease will disappear…”

“He sent down this holy object that can heal the pain, and fight against the pain, just as our piety fights against sin…”

“The pain is just the manifestation of sin, wash away the sin, and the pain will be cured…”

“Follow the prophecy in the ancient books…”

“Follow the will of Chief Yinlar…”

“We…will eventually be healed!”

Not long after entering the healing cave, a very contagious voice came into the ears of the two.

Looking up, they saw a man in a white robe waving his arms on the central platform of the healing cave, speaking loudly with a high voice and a rhythmic tone.

“Heal… Heal!”

As his voice fell, a tsunami-like roar came from the front.

And in front of the two were groups of Zeros like zombies.

Their bodies were swaying, as if they would fall down at any time, and some of them were twitching, as if they were in so much pain that they would fall down in the next second.

But even so, they were extremely excited, waving their hands wildly and shouting at the top of their lungs.

The man in the white robe seemed very satisfied with this situation.

"So, all patients, today's treatment... begins!"
