C74 (2/2)

While the two of them were speaking, Yao Yun's room door was suddenly pushed open. The little girl rushed in from outside. She was wearing only a set of sports underwear and her hair was still in a mess. It seemed that something had scared her out of her half-bath.

He reached out his hand to grab those guys. Wei Wuji grabbed his own clothes and put them on, asking her what was wrong. The little girl signaled them with her hand, telling them it was Ashley. She suddenly went crazy!

Without waiting for her to finish, the little girl grabbed the two of them and ran into the room she shared with Ashley. When she entered, she didn't see anyone, only that Yao Ling heard the sound of running water in the bathroom and hurriedly pushed open the door to find Ashley squatting in the corner, his body completely drenched from the shower. She firmly grabbed her right arm with her left hand and fiercely cursed at her right arm.

Blood was continuously flowing out of Ashley's right forearm. A knife Yao Yun gave her for self-defense was lying on the ground. It seemed like she had cut her own arm.

Yao Yun rushed over to help her out while Wuji brought out some medicine and gauze to bandage her wounds. However, everyone was surprised to find out that there seemed to be something growing on her right arm.

Chen Chou Sheng and the others also heard the news and rushed over. He unscrewed a bucket of drinking water and scrubbed Ashley's arm clean, and the red and swollen marks on her arm became more and more clear. The girl was so scared that her mouth was wide open.

On Ashley's arm, a human face had actually grown!

”Elder Chen, this. ”What's going on?” Cold sweat broke out on Yao Ling's forehead.

Wei Wuji suddenly said: ”About that. The woman I met at the seaside, Ashley. Did you also get the plague? ”

Yao Ling thought for a moment and said to everyone, ”During the day, when we went to buy fruits, she was bitten by bugs. The part where she was bitten was right here. Could that be the reason?”

Chen Changsheng raised her arm and looked at it for a long time. He said, ”This looks like a sore, but the organizations that grow out of it are very similar to human faces. I've never encountered such a situation, so this is going to be difficult.”

Wei Wuji recalled what had happened during the day and said: ”Back then, she was given two drugs that could treat poisonous insects' stings. Both of them had miraculous effects. Could it be that the woman who was buried in the water was bitten as well? ”

Speaking of bugs, Yao Yun suddenly thought of Old Hu's memento, his life's work and effort, < The Classic of Insects >. Thus, he ran back to his room, took out his notes, and looked for the strange insects in the world according to the list Old Hu had created. He had heard Ashley say during the day that it was a spider bug that had bitten her, so he turned to the chapter on spiders, only to find out after a little reading.

The spider that bit Ashley is called the Yin-Yang Man-Faced Spider.

This spider had black-and-white patterns on its body, making it look like a human face. Hence, its name. There was another reason why it was given such a name. It was because this spider had a ferocious temperament, but was only deadly to humans.

After the Man-Faced Spider bit other creatures, it would only feel red, swollen, and itchy for a while. The more nourishment the body has, the more it will grow, and the more tissue that is born from it will become more and more like a baby. At first, it will be just a face, but it will slowly turn into a head, and when it is fully formed, the person that is bitten will die because of organ failure.

This type of spider's venom had no antidote, so cutting off the poison was useless. Not long after, new venom would sprout, and the only way to cure it was to cut off all four of its limbs that had been bitten. However, if one bit another part of their body, they could only wait for death. Moreover, the poisoned person would often hallucinate, and before death, one would go completely crazy, and anything could be done.

Yao Yun explained the results of his investigation. The little girl anxiously gestured, meaning that Ashley should not be amputated. That way, it would be no different from killing her.

Yao Ning thought, ”Of course I don't want to do that. Furthermore, given the conditions here, there isn't even the possibility of amputation. However, I can't just watch as she goes crazy and waits for her death.”

The little girl stamped her feet in worry. Suddenly, she turned around and ran out. Chen Xiaohua reached out to pull her away, but he did not stop her.

At this time, Wei Wuji suddenly said to everyone: ”I do have a way to suppress her poison. If there's really no other way, I can give it a try.”

Yao Yun replied anxiously, ”Even if we find a helicopter here now, it might be too late to take her to a suitable place for surgery. Besides, if we cut off one of her arms, she might really commit suicide. I think it's fine. Fourth Bro, you can try it.”

Wei Wuji nodded his head and went back to get a cedar box. Then, he looked at Yao Yun and waited for his opinion.
