Poor girl is hated by everyone, villains drive her crazy

As Zhong Xian stared at his surroundings, he noticed that some hair-like plant seeds were approaching them. In order to avoid being poisonous, he raised his hand and swung out a ball of magic energy, burning them all.

Who would have thought that he was distracted for just a moment, and when he turned back, Xiao Xier was gone.

"Xiao Xi'er!"

He immediately jumped off the spirit boat and prepared to look for someone. Just as he rushed a few steps in the direction where Yu Xi disappeared, he saw Yu Xi's fox head emerging from a bunch of gathered bushes, with two fallen leaves shaking off its ears as it stood up.

When seeing him, Yu Xi's eyes lit up, and he jumped and waved, as if signaling him to come over.

Zhong Xian hurried over and saw Ji Zhi squatting next to Yu Xi, and Ji Zhi was staring at a person who had only half of his body left.

"Brother, look at this man."

When Yu Xi saw Zhong Xian coming over, she hurriedly pulled him closer to the person who was about to attack her and said:

"He has no sense of pain, can't communicate, and keeps trying to attack me. I just checked his body with my magic energy and found that his heart is still beating, so he's alive, but the rest of his internal organs have rotted away."

Zhong Xian was a little surprised when he heard this: "Except for the heart, all other internal organs are rotten?"

As he spoke, he also checked the man and found that judging from his physical condition, he should have been dead, but his heart was still beating very weakly and was very aggressive.

Zhong Xian vaguely felt that he seemed to have heard of such a person somewhere before.

He thought carefully and suddenly remembered his mermaid friend from the past. He once drank with him under the moonlight by the pond and the friend talked to him about mermaid flesh while drunk.

According to legend, mermaid flesh can make people immortal, so mermaids were hunted on a large scale.

But in fact, mermaid flesh cannot make people immortal, but it can indeed bring people back to life.

However, this kind of resurrection does not bring people back to life, but only makes their hearts beat again. Most people who come back to life in this way are unable to move, and are no different from the living dead. After a long time, their bodies will rot, so it is better for them to die and suffer less.

The condition of the person in front of him was no different from someone who had eaten mermaid flesh. Except for the heart, all other organs were rotten.

But people who have eaten mermaid flesh are unable to move, while the person in front of them is very aggressive.

What's more... the mermaids have long been extinct.

Zhong Xian was not sure what was going on with the person in front of him who had lost his limbs and was still biting people, so he simply called Su Xianyun.

Su Xianyun examined the mottled moss on the man's face, raised his hand and touched his rotting body, and quickly confirmed:

"He's a medicine man."

Hearing this, Ji Zhi almost jumped up: "Same as me?!"

"Different."

Su Xianyun pursed his lips, organized his words several times in his mind, and then said, "He has been dead for a long time."

As he said that, Su Xianyun directly used the magic thread to cut off the man's neck. The man's movement of wanting to bite people suddenly froze, and then he slowly closed his mouth and stopped moving completely.

At the same time, the man-eating grass growing around began to bloom, and the colorful flowers with small thorns filled the field of vision.

A large number of man-eating bees swarmed over and dragged the long-rotten corpse towards the nearby man-eating grass.

Su Xianyun watched the man-eating bees drag the corpse away, then looked at Ji Zhi again and said, "He is a medicine man, but the effects of the medicine on his body have all disappeared. Only a piece of rotten meat is left."

I don’t know what the people from Xuanxing Sect are doing.

Yu Xi was puzzled: "If he was just a dead man who could move, why would he attack me?"

Hearing Yu Xi's question, Su Xianyun gently lowered his body and said softly:

"His body was soaked in various poisonous plants, some of which were toxins that were difficult to excrete. These toxins made his body move, and at the same time made him want to bite and devour people."

As he spoke, he saw Ji Zhi blinking his clear eyes and looking at him, so he added rigorously: "Although both of them want to eat, Ji Zhi is just greedy and only has food in his mind, so it's completely different."

Jizhi couldn't help but pout. He felt like he was being scolded, but he couldn't wrap his mind around it.

When Zhong Xian heard what Su Xianyun said, a thought suddenly occurred to his mind, and he subconsciously asked, "If the poison you just mentioned is added with mermaid meat..."

At this point, he suddenly exhaled, laughed and interrupted himself, "What am I talking about? How do you know about mermaids..."

"It is said that mermaid flesh can restart a person's heart. Combined with the effect of poison, it is indeed possible to create a living corpse."

Su Xianyun thought and spoke aloud.

He didn't notice at all that Zhong Xian's expression changed in an instant.

"How do you know the real use of mermaid flesh?" Zhong Xian asked.

Isn’t this the secret of the mermaids?

Su Xianyun was puzzled and said, "It's written in the book, haven't you read the "Record of Demons and Ghosts"? "

Zhong Xian had a photographic memory, so he knew this: "The content about mermaids in the Record of Demons and Ghosts is not about resurrection, but about immortality."

"What you are reading is something that Master has not commented on."

Su Xianyun said seriously, "In the library, there is the Demonic and Ghost Record annotated by our master."

Yu Xi also nodded at this time and said, "Brother, it is true. Mother did make a revision in the "Record of Demons and Ghosts" and wrote that mermaid flesh was misunderstood by the world."

Zhong Xian had read the book "Record of Demons and Ghosts" before, so he had not read the "Record of Demons and Ghosts" annotated by Luo Chunxi. He was speechless for a moment when he heard this. He did not expect that Luo Chunxi even knew the secrets of the mermaids.

But because it was Luo Chunxi, it seemed reasonable for her to know this.

"I'll read it when I get back." Zhong Xian held his neck, laughed, and showed his enthusiasm for reading in the past: "No, I want to read all the books in the library."

Yu Xi also smiled, but soon stopped smiling and said, "So there are still mermaids in this world?"

Zhong Xian shook his head: "No, the mermaids should have been extinct, but maybe the immortal sect has found other ways to replace mermaid flesh."

After all, his friend had said at the time that mermaid flesh was not irreplaceable, nor was it rare enough to be called a treasure.

When Zhong Xian mentioned this, Su Xianyun suddenly remembered that when he and Gu An went to Fengya Pavilion, they heard that the cultivators of Yuanshan Sect wanted to find mermaid blood, and it seemed that this was not the first time they were looking for it.

He was just about to tell Zhong Xian this when Gu An came over from the other side and said from a distance:

"Senior Sister, I found the source of the ancient giant vine's growth!"

As he spoke, he walked over quickly. When he saw Su Xianyun and the others were there, he was stunned for a moment, but he quickly put it aside and continued:

"But it's very narrow, with only various plants. I don't see any signs of human life there, and it doesn't look like a place where people can live nearby."
