Chapter 5718: Sleight of Hand
Even Zhang Yifeng couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable under this evil aura that was almost condensed into substance.
But Yan Jin beside him seemed to be unaware of it, and quickly ran to the stew pot in the room to continue cooking the processed rabbit meat.
Zhang Yifeng, who noticed this, condensed his eyes slightly, and walked towards the figure lying on the bed not far away.
"Friend Jin, I check your mother's condition, you shouldn't mind, right?"
Zhang Yifeng asked in a calm voice, and the answer he got was naturally Yan Jin's excited response.
After all, he had been thinking about asking Zhang Yifeng to save his mother before, so how could he refuse at this moment.
Zhang Yifeng walked to the bedside of Yan Jin's mother and looked down at the woman's condition.
But he saw that the woman's condition was far more serious than the patient he had seen before.
The skin on her body had shrunk into a ball, and the whole person looked like a mummy, with no moisture in her body.
But what surprised Zhang Yifeng the most was that the woman's eyes were locked on him.
Even though she couldn't move at all, the woman seemed to still maintain a clear perception of the outside world.
This feeling was different from the man he had met before.
Under the torture of illness, the man's consciousness had long become turbid and unclear, and he could not stay awake like this woman.
Just from this one difference, Zhang Yifeng felt that it was extraordinary.
Zhang Yifeng might be able to find more useful information from Yan Jin's mother.
With this thought, he immediately probed his magic power into her body, trying to find out what was different from the previous man.
However, when his magic power patrolled a circle, he found that the situation in Yan Jin's mother's body was exactly the same as that of the man.
The only difference is that her vitality is stronger, like a towering tree that continuously provides vitality to the body.
"This... Jin Xiaoyou, when did your mother get this disease?"
Zhang Yifeng frowned slightly, turned around and asked Yan Jin.
"My mother... started to get sick a month ago."
"At that time, I was seriously ill, and my mother went out to the forest to collect herbs for me. As a result, she became like this after she came back."
Yan Jin lowered his head, his tone full of self-blame.
Obviously, he thought that if it weren't for him, his mother wouldn't have contracted this strange disease.
"Well, can you tell me where she went?"
Zhang Yifeng nodded slightly and asked in a concentrated voice.
He had a hunch that there might be many secrets in the dense forest that he didn't know.
"Of course, my mother was..."
Yan Jin didn't refuse, and directly told Zhang Yifeng the route his mother took when she went out.
After all, there were more than one person who went out at that time, but it turned out that only his mother contracted the disease after returning.
After getting the information he wanted, Zhang Yifeng comforted Yan Jin and walked out of the house.
Seeing this, Yan Shi, who was waiting outside the house, immediately wanted to ask Zhang Yifeng something.
As a result, Zhang Yifeng rushed straight out of the village, stood there for a long time, and finally left in disappointment.
After leaving the village of the Yan clan, Zhang Yifeng returned to the dense forest again and followed the route Yan Jin said.
According to Yan Jin, this route is the safe route for the Yan clan to go out for gathering and hunting.
Basically, there will be no monsters.
Since the soul cannot be dispersed to explore the surrounding situation, Zhang Yifeng must concentrate on it if he wants to find any clues.
Walking slowly forward step by step, Zhang Yifeng has unknowingly returned to the dense forest.
I don’t know if it’s because of the dense vegetation in the deep forest or other reasons, the scorching sun above the head can’t shine into the depths of the dense forest.
After walking for a long time, Zhang Yifeng didn’t feel any strange evil atmosphere.
Until he suddenly heard a very weak groan of a beast in his ear.
With doubts in his heart, Zhang Yifeng approached the place where the sound came from and lifted the grass to find out.
He saw a wild boar lying on its side under the grass.
But the most eye-catching thing was not this, but that its body had shrunk too much.
Zhang Yifeng also saw that it was a wild boar from its appearance and its mane.
"This situation..."
Zhang Yifeng's heart trembled, and he probed the body of the wild boar with his magic power.
Sure enough, like other members of the Yan clan, there was nothing unusual in the body of this wild boar, on the contrary, its vitality was very strong.
He lowered his eyes and took a deep look at the wild boar. He couldn't be too ruthless to the people of the Yan clan.
But this wild boar was different. It might provide considerable help to Zhang Yifeng's research on this strange disease.
With this thought, Zhang Yifeng's palm rose with dark blue magic energy and pressed it on the shriveled head of the wild boar.
As the evil spirit penetrated the brain, all the experiences of the wild boar in this life emerged in Zhang Yifeng's mind.
After easily eliminating all useless memories, Zhang Yifeng's eyes paused, and the picture in his mind froze.
In the picture, the wild boar was walking in the dense forest and suddenly stopped beside a pond.
The water surface of the pond was extremely clear, and the wild boar subconsciously approached it and licked the water.
And the change happened at this time. A hand like a skeleton stretched out from the bottom of the pond and pinched the wild boar.
The frightened wild boar moved wildly, trying to break free from the control of the hand.
However, this skeleton-like palm seemed to have a huge force, and it easily dragged the wild boar directly into the pond.
And the wild boar's memory was also disconnected at this moment.
It was not until a long time later that the wild boar was thrown out of the pond, fell to the ground and fled madly.
At first, the wild boar was still very energetic, until a night passed, and the skin on the wild boar suddenly began to tighten.
As if all the water in the body was drained, the wild boar could only lie here and groan unconsciously.
After reading all the memories of the wild boar, Zhang Yifeng took back the magic energy in his palm.
"It seems that the source of this strange disease is the owner of the skeleton palm under the pond."
"But why did he do this, and why did he release this disease indiscriminately."
After muttering for a while, Zhang Yifeng temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart.
In any case, now he has found a target.
When he finds the pond, he will definitely learn the truth from the person himself.
Zhang Yifeng made up his mind, but he did not leave directly. He looked down at the wild boar that was still groaning at his feet.
"But before we set off, we need to figure out what consequences this disease will bring."
Zhang Yifeng narrowed his eyes and leaned over to pick up the wild boar.
