Chapter 2459: Demonic Poison Insects
Demonic poison insects was a term that spanned a vast constantly changing category. All sorts of demonic poison could be created.
The categories included insects, animals, and poisonous plants.
It was frightening to imagine those insects breaking out of someone’s body.
Ning Shu really wanted to learn how to create them.
Mastering this technique could be a useful skill. Maybe it will come into use sometime.
Even if she couldn’t obtain the spirit stone, she should try to gain something.
The clan’s members lived deep in the mountains. There were many plants and animals, and all kinds of poisonous substances, which led to the birth of demonic poison insects.
The high priest sighed. “It seems that we’ll need to move as soon as we get home. We can’t stay there anymore, even though we’ve lived there for generations.”
“We won’t find a more suitable place again.”
Ning Shu comforted, “There will always be a place to stay.”
Ning Shu had been thinking that the people in this village were probably lacking something. Maybe they lacked trace elements in their bodies, so they were weak to sunshine.
There was no way they were zombies, right?
But these people didn’t look like walking corpses.
If they never had contact with sunshine, wouldn’t they lack vitamin D?
If she lived with these people, would she become like this?
Ning Shu thought about it but was simply speechless.
No one dared to stay any longer and they all rushed to the village without stopping.
They lived deep in the mountains and forests where they had cleared out an area for a village.
Despite being broad daylight, no one in the village was wandering outside.
The high priest explained, “Without the protection of the spirit stone, the villagers dare not come outside.”
The high priest arrived at a place that looked like an ancestral shrine. There was a stone statue of a squatting figure in the shrine. The carving was very rough. Ning Shu couldn’t tell what it was but looked like a person.
There was a hollow in the body of the statue. The high priest placed the spirit stone in the hollow.
All of a sudden, Ning Shu felt the shrine cool down. The warmth of the sun was no longer there.
Ning Shu left the shrine and lifted her head to look up at the sky. The sunlight had become less dazzling as if an invisible layer had blocked it.
This was the barrier.
Ning Shu looked at the stone statue. How could the stone statue cause the barrier stone to release a barrier?
There were too many unsolved mysteries in this world and many things that couldn’t be explained.
“This stone statue is like a great sage that gave us an opportunity to live. It allows us to live under the sun without being hurt by it.”
The high priest placed the mermaid pearl in a hollow on the wall, then knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the stone statue.
“The high priest is back, the high priest is back…”
The villagers who were hiding in their houses sensed that the sun had been blocked. One after the other, they came out of their houses and began to sing and dance.
The people who had gone with the high priest washed away the markings on their faces, revealing their incredibly pale faces, and their terrible sunburns. With the contrast of the red and white, they looked like they had serious illnesses.
Ning Shu couldn’t help but question how severe this really was.
If it was albinism, their skin should have been very pale, but their skin color was normal.
The high priest gathered the villagers together and said, “We need to move locations now. Li country’s general, who had stolen the stone, will be leading troops to suppress us.”
“How could this happen?”
“I don’t want to leave…”
The high priest’s expression was somewhat grieving. When they returned to the village, he had washed his face clean. The high priest was older than Ning Shu thought.
“In order for us to survive, we must move.”
