Chapter 687 Research
Chen Yang naturally noticed Gong Renli's gaze and said with a wry smile, "That black bear is fine, but the gray wolf is more seriously injured. If it's not treated quickly, it'll likely die soon."
The gray wolf lying not far away almost shed tears upon hearing this. It had thought it would die here too, but now it seemed it wouldn't have to!
Upon hearing that Chen Yang intended to save these monsters, everyone's faces showed shock.
Even Gong Renli, as foolish as he was, understood now, "Chen Yang, are you planning to subdue them?"
These monsters had attacked the village, and in everyone's hearts, including Gong Renli's, they were reluctant to save such monsters.
However, since it was Chen Yang's decision, they would do it even if they were unwilling.
Pulling Chen Yang to a secluded spot, Gong Renli said, "Although these three monsters have never come to the village before, many similar monsters have come in the past."
"If you keep these three with you, what if they cause trouble someday? You can't watch them all the time, can you?"
Chen Yang naturally understood Gong Renli's concerns. These monsters would attack humans without reason, and even if subdued, there would be great risks.
Initially, Chen Yang had intended to kill these three monsters, but during the fight, he discovered that none of them had demon cores.
This made Chen Yang feel very strange, and in the end, he didn't deliver a killing blow.
Moreover, these three monsters had come to the village after smelling that strange scent, which indicated that Saint Moon Divine Venerable was definitely involved.
"Don't worry, get these guys healed first. I have my own plans, and it won't bring trouble to your village."
Seeing Gong Renli about to speak again, Chen Yang smiled, "I could defeat them once, and I can defeat them again."
"Letting them go this time doesn't mean I'll let them go next time."
"Besides, it would be a pity to kill someone of Grandmaster level so easily."
Chen Yang's explanation left Gong Renli with no choice but to nod helplessly. Since Chen Yang had subdued the monsters, he must have his reasons.
With the whole village's busy efforts, Chen Yang reattached the gray wolf's limbs and bandaged its wounds in no time.
The black bear also woke up during the treatment. It initially tried to escape, but upon meeting Chen Yang's gaze, it immediately understood that trying to escape would cost it its life.
It could only stand with the rat, staring blankly as Chen Yang treated the gray wolf.
After everything was done, Chen Yang first asked everyone to return, and then he approached the three demonic beasts.
Chen Yang enveloped the three demonic beasts with his spiritual power and then asked, "How did you come to this forest?"
Although the three demonic beasts' spiritual power was not strong, under Chen Yang's guidance, they could establish communication with him.
With the help of spiritual power, Chen Yang also understood their thoughts.
These three demonic beasts were, without exception, originally animals from this forest.
They had been captured by someone a few years ago and, after consuming a few drops of blood, their hidden powers were awakened.
The rat's power awakened first, so it still had some memory of the experience: "It seemed to be called 'bloodline power'."
Chen Yang's brows immediately furrowed upon hearing the words "bloodline power."
Chen Yang had previously thought that "inheritors" might only refer to humans, but now it seemed that this power was not only hidden in humans but also in some animals!
Seeing Chen Yang remain silent, the three demonic beasts stood still, not daring to move. Their immense spiritual power made them acutely aware of the powerful martial artist before them. They knew that any rebellious thought would likely be crushed by this powerful spiritual force immediately.
After a long pause, Chen Yang began to examine the hearts of the three demonic beasts.
There were indeed traces of ancient seals on them, and what made Chen Yang even stranger was that these seals seemed to have been broken from the inside out!
To Chen Yang's slight relief, at least these ancient seals were not broken by Saint Moon Divine Venerable.
After the three demonic beasts nervously underwent Chen Yang's examination, they heard him say, "For the time being, you will guard the vicinity of the village and prevent any demonic beasts from attacking it."
"I will take you away in a few days. If I find out that even a single hair on the people of this village has been harmed..."
As Chen Yang spoke the last words, the icy glint in his eyes made the three demonic beasts tremble.
After dealing with the matter of the three demonic beasts, Chen Yang returned to the village. He already had a solution for the toxins within everyone's bodies.
For everyone in the village to completely clear the toxins from their bodies, a thorough cleansing was necessary, not just of the blood but also of the flesh.
Hearing Chen Yang's method, Gong Renli's eyes widened, "There's such a method?"
If it were just a simple blood cleansing, Gong Renli himself could do it, and his previous method of suppressing the toxins in everyone's bodies was similar.
But Chen Yang's method was indeed astonishing.
"Haha, it sounds terrifying, but it's just a simple medicinal bath."
"Although the medicinal bath is slower, it can penetrate deep into the skin and is very effective for removing toxins from the body."
"I'll leave you a prescription. Have the villagers soak in it daily according to the prescription, and it should take about a month to completely clear the toxins from their bodies."
After receiving Chen Yang's medicinal bath prescription, Gong Renli's nose twitched, and he almost cried.
In the past few years, Gong Renli had not had a single peaceful night's sleep.
With this prescription, he could finally give everyone an explanation.
Gong Renli also abided by the conditions he had previously agreed to. No matter what Chen Yang asked, he answered truthfully.
Many of these matters involved the secrets of the village.
Especially the method for dealing with the Blood Gu worms, which was the livelihood of Gu masters. In a way, Gong Renli had smashed his own rice bowl.
Chen Yang also promised Gong Renli that he would not reveal these methods and would only use them within the Heavenly Physician Hall.
As he was leaving, Chen Yang looked at Gong Renli with immense relief, "Once the toxins in everyone's bodies are cleared, those demonic creatures will no longer come. After that, what are your plans? Will you continue to stay in the village and research your Gu worms?"
Gong Renli was taken aback by Chen Yang's sudden question.
After all this was resolved, where would he go?
"I... I don't know. Perhaps I'll stay in the village, or perhaps I'll travel around. I haven't even left the southwest yet!"
