After she became a county magistrate, she took the ghost to investigate the case

Chapter 145: The Drought Demon Appears

"Okay." Li Siqi nodded solemnly upon hearing this.

At the same time, Hanba was getting closer and closer to the two of them.

The drought demon was already very agile, and now he had set his sights on Li Siqi and Xu Yingying, and couldn't wait to attack them.

Xu Yingying's pupils suddenly shrank. She didn't expect that the drought demon in front of her would be so aggressive. It was completely different from what she knew. Logically speaking, if the drought demon was not alarmed, they would not easily attack people.

Xu Yingying stared at the masked man. Hanba was extremely difficult to refine, but the masked man could not only raise Hanba, but also control it. It was conceivable how strong he was.

Li Siqi was the first to face the attack of Hanba, but Hanba put it bluntly, he was just a zombie that had practiced for many years. He would not feel tired or painful, and as long as he could still move, he would never give up. But Li Siqi was different. He was just a human being, and he was not in his prime at the moment. He was no match for Hanba in a head-on confrontation.

Xu Yingying could only watch anxiously, she had never thought of the existence of the drought demon here, so the things she carried with her did not contain any magical tools that could restrain the drought demon. She wanted to go forward to help Li Siqi, but was afraid to do so because she would become a burden to him.

Before long, the two were forced to retreat step by step by the drought demon. When they were in a desperate situation, Xu Yingying caught a glimpse of something next to them. Looking closely, it seemed to be some magical weapon.

Xu Yingying saw that Hanba's eyes were fixed on Li Siqi, so she took the opportunity to go over to check. Before she could observe carefully, Hanba suddenly rushed towards her.

"Yingying! Get out of the way!" Li Siqi shouted at her. Xu Yingying was startled and subconsciously dodged to the side. Then, Hanba flashed past her side.

Xu Yingying returned to Li Siqi's back and asked, "What's that over there?" Li Siqi asked while staring at the drought demon that might rush up at any time.

"If I'm seeing correctly, that should be the magic weapon left by our ancestors. Seeing that Hanba cares so much about it, it should be something that can restrain it." Although Xu Yingying was just interrupted by Hanba, she also saw most of it.

Li Siqi suddenly had an idea in his mind, "Are you sure?"

"I'm 70% sure." Xu Yingying made a rough estimate and looked at Hanba who was blocking the way of the magic weapon, not wanting Xu Yingying and Li Siqi to get close.

"Okay, then I'll hold Hanba back while you go get the magic weapon and try to defeat Hanba in one fell swoop. If I'm right, Hanba's master must be nearby."

"You mean, that masked man, who is he?" Xu Yingying thought of the man who had just released Hanba, and her heart was itching with hatred.

"Let's solve the problem at hand first, and take this opportunity to find that magic weapon." After Li Siqi said this, he rushed towards Hanba.

"Chahua, you go too, help Li Siqi hold back Hanba."

Xu Yingying looked at Camellia beside her, and made up her mind to send Camellia out as well. She herself decided to approach the magic weapon alone.

Hanba was attracted by Li Siqi and moved away from the magic weapon. Xu Yingying took this opportunity to pick up the magic weapon and examined it for a moment. She had an idea in her mind. Just as she was about to bite her middle finger to activate it with her blood essence, the masked man hiding in the dark could no longer sit still.

He attacked Xu Yingying without thinking. Hanba also wanted to come over here, but was stopped by Camellia and Li Siqi, and was unable to do anything.

The masked man slapped Xu Yingying with his palm. Xu Yingying's eyes flashed a gleam of light. She dodged to the side and then bit her finger as quickly as possible. The blood dripped from the wound onto the magic weapon.

The magic weapon looked quite old, but the moment the essence and blood dripped on it, a dazzling light burst out.

The masked man yelled, "Stop!"

But Xu Yingying didn't care about the masked man. She used the man's force to her advantage and kicked him aside. Then, she used the force to return to Li Siqi's side.

The magic weapon in his hand was aimed at Hanba, who seemed to have suddenly encountered something terrible. He roared and hid aside, then came in front of the masked man.

The masked man stood up from the ground, his exposed skin full of hideousness, "Hanba, tear them into pieces for me!"

However, Hanba was afraid of the magic weapon and did not dare to step forward, and the masked man did not dare to attack Xu Yingying and Li Siqi rashly, as if he was afraid of something.

Taking this opportunity, Xu Yingying and Li Siqi turned around and ran without any hesitation, not daring to delay for a moment. Only after returning to Cheng Peng's mansion did Li Siqi's nerves completely relax.

Xu Yingying also breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Li Siqi and found that something was wrong with Li Siqi's expression. His face was a little pale.

Xu Yingying's intuition told her that Li Siqi must have been injured. She went to check on Li Siqi's body immediately. Sure enough, she found a deep wound on his back.

No one knew when the wound was caused, and the surrounding skin and flesh were faintly black. Xu Yingying's pupils shrank, which was a sign of poisoning.

The drought demon itself is extremely poisonous. If it leaves a wound on a person, the injured person will surely suffer and die if it is not treated in time.

"When did you come here?" Xu Yingying asked Li Siqi.

But Li Siqi seemed to be in extreme pain, his entire body trembling uncontrollably, "...I, I don't remember, it must have been caused by...that thing."

Xu Yingying went to check Li Siqi's pulse, and the worst situation she had imagined still happened. The poison of Hanba caused the remaining cold poison in Li Siqi's body to flare up again.

At the beginning, Xu Yingying only found half of the antidote according to the clues given by Tu Anna. Naturally, it could not eliminate all the cold poison in Li Siqi's body, but it would not cause his poison attacks so frequently. But now the poison of Hanba has also stimulated the cold poison.

Li Siqi's body obviously became colder, and he could no longer stand and fell to one knee on the ground.

"Someone, help His Highness back to his room and prepare incense ash and glutinous rice. Hurry!" Xu Yingying shouted anxiously.

Before Cheng Peng's men came up, Yitai appeared first. Without saying a word, he sent Li Siqi back to the room, and then went to get the things Xu Yingying needed.

Xu Yingying followed them into the room. She had miscalculated this time when she came to Fengxian. She did not expect that Li Siqi would be poisoned. Therefore, she had no suitable things to treat Li Siqi. She could only clear the toxins in his wounds first and think of other ways later.

If you want to remove the toxin, you can only force the venom out. Xu Yingying's internal strength is not enough, and Li Siqi does not have the extra energy.

After thinking it over again and again, Xu Yingying gritted her teeth, carefully tore open the cloth around the wound, leaned over, and sucked out the poison with her mouth herself.
