Versatile Mage: Shadow of Dimension

Chapter 142 Demon Poison Ghost Object, Test Poison (4k)

"Brother Chenran, come on, come on!"

Feng Zhoulong excitedly pulled Zhang Chenran to the fire-eating seed, showing off:
"Did you see? I said that my technology is not limited to theory, as long as I have enough resources to ensure that the devouring species is made!"

"This is the flame devouring the seeds?" Zhang Chenran observed carefully, and couldn't help saying:
"The flame energy is thin, and it doesn't look as mysterious as you said."

"What do you know? The reason why it is called Devouring Seeds is that it evolves by devouring other seeds. Now that it has just been created, of course it has no energy. You will know if you let the girl Yinyun absorb it!" Feng Zhoulong said angrily.

"Uncle Feng, I'm here!"

Jiang Yinyun's voice came from behind, and Feng Zhoulong discovered that in addition to Zhang Chenran, there were two sisters, Jiang Yinyun and Jiang Yinyu. He had been too excited to ignore these two before.

"Girl, quickly, quickly, absorb this fire-eating seed." Feng Zhoulong said quickly. He couldn't wait to witness the effects of the fire-eating seed.

"Ah?" Jiang Yinyun was puzzled, as if she didn't understand what he meant.

"This Devouring Seed was made for you by Brother Chenran who specially took out expensive Najing." Feng Zhoulong explained.

Jiang Yinyun and Jiang Yinyu looked at Zhang Chenran at the same time. The former was a little overwhelmed with joy, while the latter showed a happy smile.

Seed-eating is one of the magic theories created by Feng Zhoulong. To complete it, you need rare and precious nanocrystals.

Unfortunately, this kind of treasure is extremely expensive, and even if there is 100% certainty, no one is willing to invest in Feng Zhoulong's research.

After all, the cost of a Devouring Seed is higher than the natural Soul Seed!

"Uncle Feng, there is something important that I need your help with," Jiang Yinyu said.

"Is it important?"

During the process of Jiang Yinyun absorbing the Devouring Seed, Jiang Yinyu recounted what happened in Longhua Town.

"Is there such a strange thing?" Feng Zhoulong frowned, and immediately took out some needed things from the laboratory and said:
"Let's go, first go to the Magic Association Hospital."

.........

Magical Society Hospital.

The hospital beds were filled with patients, who were as motionless as lifeless corpses.

"Old Feng, you are finally here!"

Xiao Anzhi, the association's strongest healing mage, finally relaxed a little when he saw Feng Zhoulong arriving.

In addition to him, there were several medical mages with higher cultivation levels, all of whom seemed to be waiting for Feng Zhoulong's arrival.

"Old Xiao, don't you even understand what's going on?" Feng Zhoulong couldn't help but ask.

He knows Xiao Anzhi's accomplishments in the healing department better than anyone else, and even a healing mage like him can't find out the source.

"This incident is too weird, and it's the first time I've seen it in the Awakening Healing Department in decades." Xiao Anzhi shook his head helplessly.

"Is everything ready?"

"It's all ready. Several corpses have obtained the consent of their families and have been placed in the autopsy room."

Feng Zhoulong walked directly to the anatomy room, skillfully took out his own instruments and started working.

About half an hour later.

"Strange, so strange!" Feng Zhoulong stood next to the corpse and frowned.

"What kind of weird method?" Zhang Chenran, who had been standing by silently, asked.

Now he is a high-level undead mage, but his attainments in this area are still too shallow.

This follow-up is also a learning opportunity.

Just the way Feng Zhoulong dissected the corpse and explored the corpse had benefited him a lot.
"All problems are caused by the demon poison. If the deceased was killed by the poison or the things contained in the toxin, the medical mage would have removed those things long ago. If the poison is not the key to death, then the problem is not here.

This man's body has suffered almost no damage, and the toxins causing death have been eliminated. If there are some parasitic poisonous insects hidden in the toxins, they will not be able to stick to the body without leaving any trace after the human body loses its vitality."

Feng Zhoulong kept staring at the corpse, his distracted eyes seemed to be thinking about something.

"So, the real cause of death is not the body, but the soul?" Zhang Chenran said.

"Old Xiao said that the soul of the deceased still had a clear sense of self and had a strong desire to survive."

Feng Zhoulong murmured in a low voice, as if he was talking to him, or talking to himself.

Walking out of the autopsy room, Xiao Anzhi and the others were already waiting outside.

"How is the situation? Have you found the reason?" Xiao Anzhi asked.

Feng Zhoulong shook his head slightly.

At this moment, he also understood why even a healing mage of Xiao Anzhi's level could not find out the source.

The situation is tricky!
Jiang Yinyu and everyone present frowned.

They thought that Feng Zhoulong, who had profound knowledge in the undead and poison systems, could find out some clues, but they didn't expect that the matter was more serious than they thought.
Things are at an impasse.

Feng Zhoulong carefully observed the comatose patients, trying to find some clues.

"By the way, are those who died ordinary people?" Zhang Chenran asked inexplicably.

Feng Zhoulong didn't respond to him, nor was he distracted, his eyes were still on the unconscious patient.

"Not only ordinary people, but even some low-level mages have been infected with demon poison." Jiang Yinyu on the side responded to him.

"So, people infected with demon poison are not very strong, they can even be said to be very weak." Zhang Chenran said involuntarily.

"Is this question important?" Jiang Yinyu asked him with an expressionless face.

Zhang Chenran shook his head slightly, did not speak any more, and called out in his mind:
"Xiao Jiu, can you see what's going on?"

"King~ You are so evil, you actually call me that!" Empress Jiuyou complained delicately at first, and then said:
"The causes of death of these people are very normal, Xiao Jiu can't tell!"

The cause of death was very normal. The corner of Zhang Chenran's mouth twitched. What did he say?

"King, can't you see? They died normally, but they died at the wrong time!"

"If you have something to say, just say it!"

"Wang, I can't tell. Anyway, it's normal for them to die, but something hastened their death!"

"It's normal to die. In your perception, it's normal for you to lie still and then lose your soul for no reason?"

"Of course that doesn't include the body. The old mage said that their souls have a clear self-awareness. How long do you think ordinary people's souls can stay in the world without their bodies?"

Hearing this, Zhang Chenran was stunned:
"You mean their souls were sucked out by something?"

"It's just a guess. After all, if there is something strange about their souls, it's impossible for several necromancers here not to notice it. However, with your methods, do you still need to go to such trouble to find out the ins and outs of the matter?"

"I just don't want to use this kind of tactics on my countrymen."

"I remember you said that strictly speaking, you are not a human being!"

"."

.........

In the ward, probably at night, Zhang Chenran finally waited for the first 'deceased'.

During the whole process, the 'dead man' did not move at all, but his soul strangely separated from his body and floated towards a wider world.

Sorry, Zhang Chenran muttered silently in his heart, and a black tentacle stretched out from the shadow behind him, grabbing the soul that was about to fly away and dragging it into the shadow.

Under normal circumstances, the shadow will directly assimilate the soul, taint the soul with darkness and sign a contract to become a shadow soldier.

But this time, the shadow world forcefully pulled the soul into two parts.

One of them disappeared in the shadow world strangely, and the other was assimilated by the shadow world and turned into a soldier!
"What's going on?" Zhang Chenran's consciousness penetrated into the shadow world.

Those who have just been assimilated by the power of darkness are just the souls of ordinary people, even if they become shadow-born soldiers, they don't have much fighting power.

Zhang Chenran forced his way into his soul.

As long as he wanted to forcefully explore everything about the Shadowborn soldiers, no one would refuse.

In the memory of this new soldier, Zhang Chenran saw his struggling before death. Before his soul left his body, his soul consciousness seemed to be occupied by something.

Fear gradually silenced his soul and consciousness, and his memory was cut off
"His soul seems to have been suppressed by something, so he cannot control his body. That thing will make the soul feel scared, and eventually seize control of the soul and pull the soul out of the body."

Zhang Chenran narrated everything he 'saw'.

The Queen of Nine Nethers not far away floated over and said:
"Ordinary people's souls are very weak. If there are any ghosts living in their souls, they have no way to resist. They can only wait for death!"

"After all, Lao Feng is also a highly skilled necromancer mage. If there is a ghost parasitic soul, there is no reason why he can't detect it."

Zhang Chenran frowned when he recalled the scene when the shadow pulled out the things hidden in the soul just now.

If the Shadowborn's original consciousness hadn't noticed what was hidden in his soul, he would have thought like Feng Zhoulong that this was just the soul of an ordinary person and wouldn't notice anything strange at all!
The Nine Nether Queen lay behind him and breathed out quietly:
"King, the ghosts you define are very powerful and can annihilate the souls of ordinary people at any time, but what if it is also as weak as the souls of ordinary people?"

"That's why it takes several days for the ghosts lurking in the soul to completely occupy the soul, otherwise the soul will not be able to leave the body, and the soul will be scattered?" Zhang Chenran understood what she meant.

After Jiuyou continues to add:
"More than that, if it's just an ordinary ghost lurking, any high-level necromancer can detect it by grabbing the soul and studying it.

But it's different if the ghost has special abilities. You didn't notice the ghost's existence when you sensed the soul before! "

Zhang Chenran nodded without denying it.

"My lord, I can't blame you, after all, the ghost caught from the soul is exactly the same as the soul of this ordinary person!
If I'm not mistaken, this evil ghost has the means of assimilation, which you are very familiar with."

After Jiuyou Empress said this in a meaningful tone, she looked at his side face intently.

It can be said that Zhang Chenran understands the assimilation method very well. Isn't this why his summoning system is so powerful?

But his method of assimilation is different from that of a complete ghost. He assimilates his soul into his own soldiers, not assimilated into a target!
"Are they the work of the ethnic group, or are they caused by a certain big demon?" Zhang Chenran asked.

"King, you are embarrassing me. The ghost that was pulled out by your shadow earlier had a weak soul, and it died as soon as I sensed its breath." Jiuyou wrapped his arms around his neck and said slowly.

The souls of ghosts are weak and cannot be forced out by forceful means, and the souls of ordinary people cannot withstand soul attacks.

If the soul dies, the ghost will die with it.
Zhang Chenran's consciousness left the shadow world.

"Have you found anything?"

When Feng Zhoulong walked into the ward, his eyes flashed with surprise. He didn't expect Zhang Chenran to be superior to him, and he had been observing from afternoon to night.

"I suspect that it may be the work of some kind of ghost."

Zhang Chenran stated what he detected in the shadow in the form of speculation.

After listening, Feng Zhoulong shook his head slightly:
"I have never heard of this kind of ghost. If such a thing really exists, then ordinary humans will not be spared."

This is also unexplainable and difficult for you to accept. Zhang Chenran also has a headache.

.........

As soon as he walked out of the ward, Jiang Yinyun, who had been waiting outside, came up to him, held his hand, and said softly:
"Let's take a break!"

Zhang Chenran nodded and sighed helplessly.

"Three more comatose patients have died. Why do you think this evil poison is so evil? Even a super-level mage can't cure it?"

"Sigh~ In just a short time, thousands of people have fallen into coma, and dozens have died. If this continues, not everyone will be like this?"

"Senior Xiao Anzhi tried poison with himself, but this kind of demonic poison has no effect on a mage with a high level of cultivation. Senior Xiao Anzhi didn't even use magic, and the demonic poison disappeared by itself. Do you think it's strange? "

"Only ordinary people and low-level mages with low cultivation will become unconscious and eventually lose their souls. It's too weird."

Several medical and nursing mages passing by whispered, and their dignified expressions never let up.

The last time this troublesome phenomenon was two years ago was the problem of Kraken toxin infection.

That time Feng Zhoulong extracted the poisonous antibody from the Kraken to resolve the crisis.

But this time, I have no clue what is causing the trouble!

The Tribunal, the Magic Association and other official powers were unable to do anything. They even asked for help from foreign aid and expert folk medicine doctors, but they couldn't find even a single clue!
This incident caused a sensation in the medical community. The last time this happened was the plague incident at HZ, and the final result of that incident was hidden.
"Coma only occurs among ordinary people and elementary mages. Rather, it only occurs among people with weak souls."

Zhang Chenran thought about it carefully, then found Jiang Yinyu and asked straight to the point:
"The Trial Council should have collected that weird poison, right?"

"Yes, several pharmacists, pharmacists are all studying the demon poison, trying to find key clues from the demon poison." Jiang Yinyu said.

"Can you get me some demon poison?"

"Okay!" Jiang Yinyu agreed directly, and then asked in confusion:
"But what do you want the demon poison for?"

"Test the poison."
