The Elixir is for You, The Poison is for Me

#766 - Moon in the Well

"Could it be that Supervisor Jiang has already fought that blood corpse?" the one-eyed Taoist asked.

"That's right, I saw that thing attacking a civilian residence and rushed to save them. Then I fought it. Actually, in terms of skill alone, it's not too strong. It only has a few moves. Just be careful of the corpse poison it releases from time to time, and the rest is just reacting to its attacks."

"The real trouble is its speed. It moves extremely fast in the blood mist. Although I can injure it, I can't keep it down. Moreover, it can quickly recover from its injuries with the help of the blood mist."

"I saw with my own eyes that a half-inch deep wound on its body healed in just a few breaths. Then it pounced on me again, full of energy."

"I knew that I would definitely lose if this continued, so I used the earth escape technique to temporarily get away from there. Then I heard the sound of fighting here and rushed over."

Jiang Yuenü paused, "Supervisor Wu, you've come at the right time. In fact, if we can first trap that blood corpse with a large formation, I can take the opportunity to get rid of it."

The one-eyed Taoist hesitated slightly upon hearing this, "Supervisor Jiang, how confident are you?"

"I'm at least seventy percent confident," Jiang Yuenü said without hesitation.

"Why don't we find some more helpers and work together? That way, we can be absolutely sure," the plump female supervisor suggested.

This was also the plan they had discussed beforehand.

"But if we do that, I'm afraid we won't have enough time," the supervisor surnamed Ren reminded.

Although the battle with that giant spider went smoothly, it took up a lot of their time. Almost an incense stick's worth of time had passed since they entered the blood mist.

And Jiang Yuenü and the others had entered the blood mist even earlier. A little less than half an hour had already passed.

If they went to find people now, it would be great if things went smoothly. But if they encountered two or three more battles like this, or were entangled by those strange creatures that had also entered the blood mist, even if they gathered everyone, they might not have enough time to fight that blood corpse.

Jiang Yuenü didn't urge them upon hearing this, but stood aside and waited quietly for the four of them to make a decision.

Lu Jing remained outwardly calm, but he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

The reason he risked entering the blood mist was to warn Kui.

If he just followed the one-eyed Taoist and the others to kill that blood corpse, when the blood mist dissipated, Kui would not be able to escape the Sitianjian's dragnet outside, even if she had three heads and six arms.

At that time, her disguise as a strange creature would probably be exposed.

Not only would she not be able to continue as a supervisor, but she might even be thrown into prison.

So, while Lu Jing was following the others forward, he was constantly thinking about what excuse he could use to break away from the main group and sneak off to find Kui.

But no matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't find a suitable reason to "desert" at the last minute.

After walking for a while, he suddenly heard Jiang Yuenü say, "We're here. This is the place. I fought that blood corpse in this house last time."

The one-eyed Taoist and the others looked in the direction Jiang Yuenü was pointing and saw a small courtyard.

The front door of the small courtyard was wide open, and half of the east wall had collapsed. Besides that, the remaining half of the wall was also covered with traces of battle.

Even many of the stone bricks on the ground were broken, which was enough to prove that Jiang Yuenü was not lying, and the previous battle was indeed very fierce.

Because Jiang Yuenü had fought the blood corpse before, she wasn't too afraid. She took the lead and walked into the courtyard.

The one-eyed Taoist held the array disk in one hand and the lantern in the other, carefully following behind her.

Lu Jing, the plump female supervisor, and the supervisor surnamed Ren kept a little distance from them, which made it easier to provide support at the first time in case of encountering the enemy, and at the same time avoided being wiped out by the enemy because they were standing too close.

However, after the group searched the courtyard, they couldn't find any trace of the blood corpse.

The one-eyed Taoist frowned, "Could it be that it's already run away?"

Now things had become a little tricky, because according to Jiang Yuenü, the blood corpse was very fast. Once it started moving around in the blood mist, it would not be easy to catch it.

Thinking of this, everyone's hearts began to sink.

Perhaps only Lu Jing was an exception. Lu Jing was wondering if he could take the opportunity to suggest a separate search, so that he could reasonably slip away to find Kui.

But just then, he suddenly heard Jiang Yuenü say, "It's here. I found it!"

At this time, Jiang Yuenü was standing in front of a well in the backyard, looking down.

She transmitted these words directly into the ears of the four people using a secret technique.

After hearing her words, the one-eyed Taoist, the supervisor surnamed Ren, and the plump female supervisor all used their light skills and came to the well together.

Only Lu Jing was still trying to find an excuse at this time, so he was half a step slower.

As a result, the one-eyed Taoist and the other two looked down into the well, but only saw the mossy well wall and the well water under the well wall.

"Where's the blood corpse?" the plump female supervisor asked.

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a red moon shadow reflected on the water. Then her head was in pain, and she quickly took half a step back.

The one-eyed Taoist and the supervisor surnamed Ren next to her were the same.

Only Jiang Yuenü was still standing by the well without moving, as if she had seen the moon shadow before.

"What the hell is that?" A ominous premonition rose in the heart of the supervisor surnamed Ren.

Jiang Yuenü did not answer, but looked at the three of them, a sneer appearing on the corner of her mouth.

Sweat was also oozing from the one-eyed Taoist's forehead at this time. He had hardly doubted Jiang Yuenü along the way before, because the other party's familiarity with the Sitianjian and him was almost impossible for an outsider to impersonate.

But at this time, the one-eyed Taoist thought of another deadly question. He asked Jiang Yuenü, "What are you most afraid of?"

"Me?" Jiang Yuenü finally spoke, her tone somewhat grim, "At the entrance examination of the academy, in order to stay, I made some decisions that went against my heart, but I know that I am not as pure-hearted as other people. What I am most afraid of is… not being able to suppress the evil thoughts in my heart and becoming a completely evil person."
