A strange blood-red and black glow started to appear slowly on Mo Fan's body. His dark-brown eyes gradually turned hollow and cold. Even Mu Ningxue could sense an unfamiliar aura encapsulating Mo Fan's figure.
”Mo Fan, what are you doing?” Lingling's voice suddenly came from the communication device.
”Mu Ningxue has contracted the poison. I no longer have time to waste with these scum,” Mo Fan's voice sounded rather disdainful.
”Don't do anything stupid, considering it's the Black Vatican. If they knew who you are, not only will they not give you the antidote, it will even make the situation worse! Even if you managed to get the antidote, no one can possibly save you. We aren't at the Dongting Lake, or at the Kingdom of Undead, there's nothing you can kill recklessly to pay the price for using the power… this island only has around seven hundred thousand people. Are you sure you will be able to keep your calm and not harm them when you let the Demon Element took over?” scolded Lingling.
Mo Fan's bloodshot eyes recovered slightly when he heard Lingling's words.
When Mu Ningxue's life was in danger, the only way Mo Fan had was demonizing. It would grant him the power to defeat the people of the Black Vatican in the shortest time possible, and the poison would have no effect on him once he demonized.
However, when Lingling finished her last sentence, Mo Fan subconsciously shuddered.
She's right, there wasn't a horde of demon creatures or a nest nearby. There were only a few hundred thousand residents on Chongming Island.
The consequences of using the Demon Element did not only involve the degradation of his cultivation, but also the vast amount of blood needed for the sacrifice. The Demon Element fed on souls. Mo Fan had already experienced the pain at Dongting Lake. It would only turn him into a killing machine. He would be no different than the failed subjects of the experiment conducted on the Demon Element...
Not only would he fail to save Mu Ningxue, it would result in a greater disaster!
”Mo Fan!...”
”I understand,” Mo Fan interrupted Lingling's words.
Mo Fan took a deep breath, trying his best to calm down the restless Demon Element. If he relied too much on the Demon Element to settle his problems, he would actually turn into a real demon!
”It's more dangerous if someone else contracts the poison. It's less terrifying for her, as she can freeze herself with her Ice Domain, slowing down her blood flow...” explained Lingling at a quick pace.
”She already did,” replied Mo Fan.
”That's good, she's calmer than you are, and you call yourself a Hunter Master! You should stop being so hot-headed every time!” chided Lingling.
Mo Fan was left speechless. Did he really just get scolded by a girl who was just over age of ten?...
”Have you found the cure to the poison?” asked Mo Fan.
”No.”
”...” Mo Fan really had nothing to say.
