Chapter 586: Huaxing Village Plague (2)

(Unedited)

…

Four young people walked towards a village hidden deep within the woods. Shin Jiao shows toughness but is also showing that he is afraid. The two young doctors also are showing the same reaction. Although they tried their best to show a manly attitude towards the gang, as pampered young men their fear would still show on their faces. The only one who shows real bravery and has steadfast look among the four is Daixa Fengdi.

Soon the four arrives in the village after a few minutes of walking in a maze-like formation of trees and rocks.

In Shin Jiao's mind, he is a bit amazed at the defensive layer of formation that this gang of bandits has made in these parts. It is really intricate and complex. But as a formation expert himself, Shin Jiao has already seen some of the flaws of the formation.

But he also learned that the formation in this place does not need to rely on Qi if it is completed. And this is what amazed him.

"Who is the ancestor of these people?… This is an almost complete camouflage array that does not rely on Qi or mana to activate. The only weakness of this array is this place…" Shin Jiao said as the group arrives at an entrance.

Soon they saw multiple wooden houses that look disorganized and poor. He can also see some people sitting outside their houses with weak bodies and some black patches on their skin.

"This is the effect of the dark Qi on normal mortals. It is slowly eating their vital energy up and then their whole flesh." Shin Jiao thought as he observes his surroundings.

"Someone or something has found a way to cultivate in this place. And that is by using human essence… what a horrible way to cultivate." Shin Jiao thought to himself as the Shadow Being and essence siphon appear in his mind.

"Doctors, this is the situation in my village. If you can help us, I promise to give you everything you needed…" the burly man named Liaoxi Hun said as the group arrives in the center of the village.

With a nod of her head, Daixa Fengdi turns towards Shin Jiao and the two.

"I… I will check the patients. The… The three of you should stay here and don't go off alone…" Shin Jiao said with a trembling voice.

Hearing Shin Jiao's words and his trembling tone, the gang leader sneers in his heart. As someone who works in the underworld and has encountered many such types of people, he is aware of the doctor's feelings. Hence he didn't want to intimidate him and risk the chance that the doctor might poison them. So he put up a front of magnanimity and kindness.

As Shin Jiao began checking the bodies of the people, he also began absorbing the dark Qi inside their bodies and gave them some of the herbal supplements and decoction inside his medical pouches hanging on his belt.

He didn't want to waste time in this place. The dark Qi is also a source for him to gain Qi in this Qi barren place hence he didn't waste it and just absorbed them indiscriminately.

After hours of checking the villagers and going from house to house, it is already around 8 pm before he is done with everything. As the village is not that big, he is able to finish up everything really fast.

"Haha… you truly are a miracle doctor, Doctor Ji. I hope that you could stay in our village and assist us." Liaoxi Hu suddenly said with a sheepish smile on his face.

"You… you flatter me too much, boss Hu." Shin Jiao said with a trembling voice.

"But… But I still have to leave to the… to the capital tomorrow… so… so I must continue towards the next village." Shin Jiao said with a stuttering voice as he lowers himself.

Liaoxi Hu sneered.

Since he saw that his people have regained their vitality after being cured by the young doctor, how could he let the person go? Although they are not yet fully healed, the black patches on their skin have already slowly faded.

"Doctor Ji, you have already seen our hideout… why not stay in here… for good."

As soon as he said those words, a few people suddenly surround Shin Jiao and his group. Many of these people are the people he helped and now that they are already fine, they wanted to bare their fangs on the person who helped them?

"Shameless…" Daixa Fengdi said with an angry look on her face.

"Hehe… miss you cannot blame us for this. We live in a world where the strong devours the weak. This is the kind of life we have, and soon will be yours too… Hehe…" suddenly the man who escorted the group said on the side with a sly look on his eyes.

As soon as the group of bandits encircled them, Daixa Fengdi immediately went on a fighting stance. From inside her sleeve, she took out some thumb-size beads, and then she grabs the belt hanging on her waist which suddenly turns into a whip.

Crack!

Her quick movement made the bandits a bit taken aback as most of them jumps back in fright. Their boss Liaoxi Hu has his eyes widen in disbelief. Although he was informed that the woman might be a martial cultivator, he is confident that she is not a strong one.

This is because she went down to the city and bought something with her friends. This only means that she is a lowly marital cultivator without any power, but he was wrong.

From the sound of that whip, he knew that she is very strong.

Without saying another word, Daixa Fengdi suddenly threw the thumb-size beads on the ground. Then with a loud bang, a thick gray smoke immediately filled the air.

"Shit! Smoke pellets… don't let them escape! " shouted Liaoxi Hu as he rushes towards the group.

However, it was too late. Before he could do anything, the four young people were already gone.

"Go and find them quickly. They can't escape the array formation…"

"Boss… I can find them… but… but I want the woman." Suddenly a sly looking person from beside Liaoxi Hu said in a low voice.

With his eyes squinting, Boss Hu just nodded his head. He knew how capable that subordinate is. He is even able to suppress the plague and went out of the village. How could he not know the true ability of that sly guy?

While the gang of bandits are scrambling around, Shin Jiao and the rest have already escaped through the maze. As a strong martial cultivator, Daixa Fengdi has already memorized the way to the maze. However, her next concern is how to navigate through the array formation.

"How do we get out of here Miss Fengdi?" a courteous tone from Bailao Di was heard.

"I… I don't know… have anyone of you memorize the path?" she asked as she looks at the two.

But to her dismay, they showed confusion in their eyes.

Rustle! Rustle!

The three suddenly heard the rustling of twist and branches and saw Shin Jiao doing something at the entrance of the maze.

"Doctor Di, what are you doing?" asked Jie Ming who suddenly approached from behind.

"Just wait for a second. I have some knowledge when it comes to natural formation… Hehe… trust me with these guys." Shin Jiao said as he continues working on covering the entrance.

Soon the group can hear many footsteps coming towards them. And this made the three became anxious. But Shin Jiao pointed them in a direction.

"You guys stand to that side, now!"

Feeling a bit confused, Shin Jiao pointed them again in a direction.

"If you want to get caught then don't move. But if you wanted to escape this formation please follow my words…" he said as he continuously works on covering the entrance.

 Soon a voice was heard from the bandits.

"There they are!"

"We found them! They are at the main entrance!"

"Get them! Get them!"

The frantic shouts of the bandits made the hearts of the three young people behind Shin Jiao almost jump out of their chest. Anxiety is clearly written all over the faces of Bailao Di and Jie Ming. However, Daixa Fengdi showed a resolute gaze on her beautiful face. She is ready to fight these bandits with all her strength.

Shin Jiao, on the other hand, didn't stop. Soon a small hole is the only remaining space and Shin Jiao looks into it and saw a large group of people coming towards them.

With a smile on his face, he finally covered that hole with a leaf. Upon covering he suddenly felt the atmosphere inside the maze suddenly change.

"This is it… Haha… I'm right! It is an array that doesn't need Qi or mana. It could use the natural force in its surrounding… this is amazing…" he thought as he suddenly runs towards the group who still didn't move and follow his command.

He dragged them three still confused people and run towards a spot. The three didn't know what is happening, and they have no clue as to why they are just standing in a spot without running away. However, they trusted the young doctor in front of them for some reason and stayed.

As soon as they arrive, a loud crash was heard as a bandit suddenly slashes his blade towards the twigs and leaves that Shin Jiao uses to cover the entrance of the village.

However, as soon as that bandit broke through the covering, something seems to have been activated in the surroundings as the trees seem to emit some cracking sound which seems that they are breaking apart. Even the bushes sounded like they are breaking.

The strange sound and eerie atmosphere made the three people who are standing behind Shin Jiao felt a cold shiver run their spine.

Then suddenly, in front of their eyes, they saw something strange and magical.. It is something that they have never seen before which is almost impossible to happen in a forest with many big rocks and trees.
