"Young Master, be careful!" The Great Elder, who had been resting not far away, leaped to his feet and slapped Hu Po.
From his point of view, Lu Ye's natal beast had undoubtedly gone mad. Faced with such a situation, the only way to deal with the beast was to kill it as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would surely devour its master.
The fiery red glow of the blade flashed. The Great Elder hurriedly withdrew his hand and looked at Lu Ye in astonishment. "Young Master?"
"Wait!" Lu Ye shouted, his expression grave.
Hu Po had actually been infected by that madness. This was something he hadn't expected. Hu Po had been fighting alongside him all this time and had never left his side. There were no signs of injury either. How did it get infected?
However, it was different from other demonic beasts that would immediately go berserk after going mad. At this moment, although its amber eyes flashed with a scarlet color from time to time, and its throat was constantly emitting threatening roars, it could be seen that it was trying its best to maintain its rationality, suppressing the desire to recklessly attack its surroundings.
After all, it was a pet that had gone through life and death with Lu Ye for more than two years. It was also bound by the pet contract bestowed by Tianji. Even if it had been infected by the madness, it hadn't gone completely berserk like other beasts. It still retained its last shred of rationality.
A message came from the battlefield imprint. Lu Ye hurriedly checked it. As expected, it was a message from Yiyi.
After reading Yiyi's message, Lu Ye abruptly raised his head. Hu Po, who was standing in front of him, lowered its head to Lu Ye.
There was a flash of light on the Mountain Blade as Lu Ye stabbed forward. The long blade accurately pierced three inches behind Hu Po's neck. This stab was too sudden. Xia Qianqian and the others stared at Lu Ye in astonishment. They hadn't expected him to make a move himself after stopping the Great Elder's actions.
But in the next moment, they realized that something was wrong.
If Lu Ye had really wanted to take Hu Po's life with this stab,
He wouldn't have stabbed at that spot.
There was a faint, peculiar chirping sound, like that of a cicada.
However, the noise on the battlefield made it difficult to hear clearly.
The long blade that had pierced through Hu Po's neck was lifted up. Blood splattered everywhere. Everyone's eyes were fixed on Lu Ye's Mountain Blade.
At that moment, at the tip of the blade,
Something that looked like a cicada had been pierced through and was being pulled out.
It was struggling and squirming, but before anyone could see what it was, the cicada suddenly exploded and turned into a pool of black liquid!
Lu Ye hurriedly circulated his spirit energy to envelop the black liquid.
He didn't let it spread.
Everyone stared at the black liquid that was wrapped in spiritual energy.
His expression was indescribable.
On the other hand, Hu Po, who had the cicada removed from the back of his neck by Lu Ye, calmed down. He shook his head, and the scarlet in his eyes had long since receded.
Blood flowed from the back of his neck.
However, for a demonic beast like it, this kind of injury was nothing to it.
It was only a flesh wound. It raised its eyes and stared at the black liquid wrapped in spiritual power. It cautiously circled around it and hid behind Lu Ye.
Lu Ye turned his head.
She looked at Xia Qianqian.
Their eyes met.
"I've found the reason why the Demonic Beasts went crazy!"
"What?" Xia Qianqian still hadn't recovered from her shock.
After subconsciously replying to him, he said,
Only then did he suddenly realize, "Are you talking about the things you picked out just now?"
"It's not the Demonic Beasts going crazy. Something has entered their bodies.
He's controlling them! "
Parasitism, control …
Xia Qianqian was stunned. "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure."
If he was alone,
He wouldn't have been able to detect the source of Hu Po's illness so quickly.
Because the parasite on the back of Hu Po's neck had completely merged with Hu Po's aura.
Even if he circulated his spirit energy to examine Hu Po's body inch by inch, he might not be able to detect anything unusual.
This was also why the cultivators of the Realm of Beasts still hadn't figured out the reason why the Demonic Beasts went crazy.
They had also caught some crazy Demonic Beasts and carefully studied them.
However, they found nothing.
But there was still Yiyi in Hu Po's body!
Ever since they entered the secret realm of the Realm of Beasts …
Yiyi hadn't shown up.
When Hu Po didn't have an attack, she didn't pay much attention to it. However, as soon as Hu Po had an attack, she immediately checked Hu Po's body and found the strange bug. She hurriedly sent a message to Lu Ye.
This kind of bug parasitism was silent. Even Lu Ye didn't know when Hu Po had been infected.
What was certain was that when Hu Po was parasitized,
This bug should be very, very small. It was so small that even Lu Ye didn't notice it until it parasitized Hu Po's body.
That was why it grew so quickly. When Lu Ye jumped out of the bug, it was already the size of a cicada.
Unfortunately …
After Lu Ye picked it out with his saber, the bug immediately exploded. Perhaps this was the bug's natural way of hiding to avoid being discovered by cultivators.
At this moment, the black juice that had exploded was wrapped up by Lu Ye's spirit energy. Everyone looked carefully and was shocked to find that there were some tiny bugs swimming in the black juice. As expected, these bugs were very, very small. If one didn't specifically check, they would really miss them.
Lu Ye activated his spirit energy, and a fiery red spirit energy burst out, burning the juice clean.
"Awoo!" Hu Po returned to the size of a cat and jumped onto Lu Ye's shoulder, growling softly.
Lu Ye nodded pretentiously as he checked the information from Yiyi in the battlefield imprint.
Yiyi and Hu Po were companions, so Yiyi was the clearest about Hu Po's thoughts. Even Lu Ye, the master, couldn't compare to her in this regard.
Even with the pet contract bestowed by Tianji and the Life Origin Technique and Beast Mark they had formed before, Lu Ye could at most communicate with Hu Po. He couldn't see through everything as clearly as Yiyi.
"What did it say?" Xia Qianqian was surprised. Even she had never seen such a human-like monster before.
Lu Ye was still nodding …
A moment later, after checking the information from Yiyi, Lu Ye said, "It said that when it was being controlled by the bug, it vaguely felt something in that direction!" As he spoke, he pointed in a direction.
"What did it feel?"
"I'm not sure, but there is an invisible connection with the bug controlling it."
"The source of the madness?" Xia Qianqian's eyes lit up.
The monster's madness wasn't caused by the monster itself, but by the bugs that parasitized their bodies to control them. Those bugs were closely related to some distant existence. Naturally, she would make such a connection.
If this was true, then everything that had been difficult to figure out before suddenly became clear.
"Do you know where exactly it is?" Xia Qianqian asked.
"I only know that it's in that direction …"
"That direction …" The first elder, who had been standing to the side and hadn't said anything, looked pensive.
Lu Ye looked at him. "First Elder, what did you think of?"
"That's the direction of the Black Tortoise Sect." The first elder frowned. "The monster's madness began in the Black Tortoise Sect, and then it swept through the entire Realm of Beasts."
When they heard this, Lu Ye and Xia Qianqian couldn't help but have the same thought. That's right, the location that Hu Po sensed was most likely where the Black Tortoise Sect was.
"But the Black Tortoise Sect has already been destroyed. We all went there to investigate, but there was nothing there."
"You also investigated the monster's madness, but didn't you find the bug as well?" Xia Qianqian asked.
The first elder's face instantly filled with shame.
From his point of view, if it weren't for his Young Master's telepathic connection with his Life Source Monster Beast, the bug probably wouldn't have been discovered.
The cause of the monster's madness had been found. Although the source hadn't been determined yet, it was close. Lu Ye and Xia Qianqian looked at each other and understood what the other was thinking.
Two World City couldn't be defended any longer. Based on the monster's momentum, even if Two World City went all out, it wouldn't last more than a few days. When the time came, the city would fall, and the Realm of Beasts would follow the path set by history. When that time came, whether it was the cultivators of the Realm of Beasts or the visitors from the Nine States, they wouldn't have a good end.
Therefore, for Lu Ye and the others, there was only one way to survive.
They had to go to the source of this incident and solve the problem from there. Only then would they have a chance to survive.
"We need some manpower." Lu Ye quickly said.
"I'll contact someone." Xia Qianqian said and began to send out a message.
A Cloud River Realm Ninth Order cultivator like her naturally had more connections than a rookie like Lu Ye. She knew some of the cultivators from the Nine States who came this time.
"Young Master, you are …" Great Elder didn't understand.
Lu Ye thought for a moment and said, "Great Elder, we are going to the Black Turtle Sect! There should be a solution to the problem there. "
"Go to the Black Turtle Sect now?" Great Elder's face changed. Now was the time when the monster beasts were attacking the city. If they left now, they would have to fight their way out of the encirclement.
"If we don't go now, we won't have a chance. Staying here is just waiting for death!"
Great Elder heard this and wanted to say something, but after careful consideration, wasn't Lu Ye telling the truth? He immediately nodded, "Young Master is right. Staying here is indeed waiting for death! I'll go see that old fart Liu Wu Zhai and see if he can send some people with us! "
Lu Ye was delighted, "That would be for the best!"
For this trip to the Black Turtle Sect, the more people the better. The more people there were, the more successful it would be.
"Young Master, please wait for a moment!" Great Elder said and rushed into the sky, heading straight for the City Lord's Mansion.
A moment later, a stream of light flew over and landed in front of everyone. Then, a lazy voice sounded, "Xia Qianqian, do you know that leaving your post at a time like this will result in a deduction of merit?"
When the voice sounded, Lu Ye was stunned for a moment because this voice … sounded familiar!
He turned his head and saw a round fatty at a glance. This fatty's face was full of fat and his eyes were narrowed into slits. He had a big belly and a big smile on his face.
Lu Ye was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect to meet this person here! Moreover, when he entered the Realm of Beasts' Sealed World, he didn't notice this person at all.
As if sensing Lu Ye's gaze, the fatty glanced at Lu Ye. His narrowed eyes flashed with a trace of light, and his smile became even more hearty.
