Chapter 59: Take a look at her for me
Yuan Ming pondered for a moment, bent down, and leaned the torch down to see more clearly.
The green wolf, however, seemed to be stimulated by the firelight. It suddenly let out a furious roar and rushed upwards. Its claws scraped the dirt wall and it leaped out from inside.
The nets and logs above couldn’t stop it. The green wolf directly broke through the logs and fell out from the net.
The green wolf’s limbs were entangled by the net, and it struggled several times but couldn’t break free.
Seeing this, Yuan Ming threw away the torch, drew his long sword from his waist, and leaped up, slashing towards the green wolf.
The green wolf immediately rolled on the ground to dodge the sword, and at the same time, it broke free from the hole in the net.
As it stood up, the green wolf returned to its four-legged posture and bared its teeth at Yuan Ming, revealing sharp white teeth.
But as soon as Yuan Ming saw the appearance of the green wolf, he was stunned.
At this moment, the green wolf was covered in bloody wounds, its eyes lacked the usual green light and instead had a bloody red color, and saliva dripped from its open mouth.
Although the eyes didn’t match, Yuan Ming was not unfamiliar with that appearance."Ha Gong, is that you?" he asked tentatively.
The green wolf, who had been growling softly, struggled when it heard Yuan Ming’s question, and the blood-red color in its eyes was replaced by the usual emerald green light.
But it only lasted for a moment before the blood color covered its eyes again, and it pounced towards Yuan Ming.
"He’s suffering from the backlash of the Fur Transformation Technique?" Yuan Ming thought while dodging.
The green wolf dodged past him, and Yuan Ming caught a glimpse of its two hind legs, which were unusually thick and more like human legs covered in fur than beast legs.
And the fur on those human legs was not dark green, but white.
Yuan Ming was filled with doubts and suspicions. Just as he landed, the green wolf, which had already turned back, collided with him head-on. He had no choice but to throw down his sword and cross his arms in front of his chest.
"Boom!"
Under the tremendous force, Yuan Ming was sent flying dozens of zhangs away.
In mid-air, he quickly put on the ape skin and used the Fur Transformation Technique to transform into a white ape, flipping in the air and landing steadily.
"Ha Gong, wake up!" Seeing the green wolf charging again, Yuan Ming shouted loudly, took a step forward, and met its wide-open bloody mouth with his left arm.
His strong ape arm firmly held the green wolf’s throat, keeping its body in place.
The green wolf kept biting, but it couldn’t bite Yuan Ming.
Yuan Ming noticed that the green wolf, which had only had white fur on its feet, now had both hind legs completely turned white.
"So fast..."
He thought of his deep-seated guess and couldn’t help but be surprised.
"I’m sorry, Ha Gong, you have to wake up quickly." Yuan Ming shouted, raised his right arm, and smashed down towards the green wolf’s head with a punch.
With a muffled sound, Yuan Ming’s punch was extremely powerful, directly knocking the green wolf to the ground. It struggled several times before finally standing up unsteadily.
But this time, the green wolf stood up on its hind legs.
The blood-red color in its eyes receded by more than half, returning to the emerald green color. Under the reflection of the firelight in the distance, it emitted a chilling green light.
"Yuan... Ming..." The green wolf opened its mouth and made a hoarse sound.
Its mouth opened and closed slowly, and its voice sounded somewhat muffled, as if speaking had become very difficult.
"Ha Gong, answer me, is this the backlash of the Fur Transformation Technique?" Yuan Ming quickly asked.
"Yuan Ming, I can’t... take off... the beast skin." Ha Gong, who had transformed into the green wolf, said with difficulty and bitterness.
Saying that, he actually collapsed and sat down.
Yuan Ming put away the Fur Transformation Technique and approached him, asking with concern, "How do you feel now? What can I do for you?"
"I’ve used it too many times. I can’t undo the Fur Transformation Technique... I can’t take off the beast skin... I don’t know what to do..." Ha Gong said, tearing at his face with his claws.
His sharp claws immediately cut through the fur-covered skin, revealing the bloody flesh underneath. Ha Gong endured the intense pain and forcibly tore off a piece of fur, revealing a face covered in blood.
Yuan Ming focused his spiritual power on his eyes and carefully observed. He found that there were no traces of fur on Ha Gong’s face. Instead, each strand of fur seemed to grow from his flesh and blood.
"Yuan Ming, save me..." Ha Gong trembled as he handed the torn beast skin to Yuan Ming, pleading.
"You might be turning into a Human Fiend." Yuan Ming looked at this scene and furrowed his brows.
Upon hearing these words, Ha Gong’s hand, which was raised in mid-air, stiffened, and then he began to tremble violently.
"What... did you say? Am I turning into... that kind of monster? I..." At first, he couldn’t believe it, but when he saw his own legs, his voice choked up.
When Yuan Ming saw the true appearance of the Human Fiend King, he already had some guesses in his heart, but he still held a glimmer of hope and didn’t want to believe it.But after seeing Ha Gong’s appearance today, he had to face a reality, that is, the ultimate result of the backlash of the beast slave is most likely to become a human xiao.
In other words, every person xiao who was hunted down by the Bi Luo Cave like a monster was once a living person.
He had asked Yin Mao about this, but the latter did not answer.
Now there is no need for any answer. The facts in front of him have given him a definite answer.
The erosion caused by the backlash of the beast transformation technique not only brings about changes in the mind, not only loses reason and becomes bloodthirsty and brutal, but also brings about physical changes, becoming a monster that is neither human nor beast.
Yuan Ming looked at Ha Gong’s appearance and couldn’t help but feel pity.
Since he was captured and became a beast slave in the Ten Thousand Mountains, the only person who could be considered a friend in this period of time was Ha Gong, but besides experiencing a period of hardship together, their interactions were actually not much.
Now thinking back, Yuan Ming suddenly remembered that Ha Gong had also told him that he wanted to join the Bi Luo Cave and become a named disciple, not for anything else, just to regain his freedom.
For this goal, Ha Gong was also very diligent in hunting beasts.
And it was precisely this diligence that made him progress faster on the path of rapid transformation into a person xiao.
After all, he didn’t have a censer like Yuan Ming to temporarily suppress it, and his cultivation of blood energy and the beast transformation technique complemented each other, which might be one of the reasons.
In just a moment, Ha Gong’s eyes once again turned blood red, and half of his fur had already turned snow white.
Yuan Ming frowned and was about to take action to control him, but he saw that Ha Gong actually forcibly suppressed the blood color in his eyes with his own will.
"What you said... is true... I might... not make it..."
"Yuan Ming, help me... kill me..."
Ha Gong spoke with difficulty.
His wolf mouth had already begun to shrink, becoming shorter and shorter, while the hair on his face quietly grew.
"What are you saying? How could I kill you?" Yuan Ming exclaimed in shock.
"I... don’t want to, I don’t want to... become that kind of monster..." Ha Gong’s tone was somewhat choked, and his voice was hoarse and messy, which made Yuan Ming even more sad.
But he didn’t have a way to help him.
Although his censer was a treasure, he couldn’t use it himself, it could only help himself and couldn’t help others.
The light in Ha Gong’s eyes dimmed, and he said, "Let me... die as a human. I don’t want... when I go to the netherworld, she... she won’t recognize me..."
"She?" Yuan Ming asked in confusion.
"Tu Ya... is my daughter..."
Yuan Ming was also the first to know that Ha Gong actually had a daughter.
"She was born... with a heart disease, I... I sold myself to the Bi Luo Cave... in order to treat her illness." Ha Gong seemed to recall the appearance of his daughter, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
But this smile was quickly replaced by pain.
"I thought you and I were the same, both captured." Yuan Ming sighed.
"At first... I was a servant, I offended... Elder Meng Shan, I was supposed to... die, but later... it was discovered that I had spiritual roots... so I became... a beast slave." Ha Gong said.
"What about your daughter?" Yuan Ming worriedly asked.
"I don’t know... when I left... she had just turned one month old... it’s been seven years, I haven’t seen her..." Ha Gong’s eyes were filled with sadness and tears.
"In that case, you should live on, at least... see her again." Yuan Ming persuaded.
Ha Gong shook his head repeatedly and said, "I can’t... let her see..."
"I’m already... losing my sanity... kill me, kill me..."
Ha Gong’s pleading tone made Yuan Ming’s heart tighten, and an indescribable feeling of bitterness climbed up his heart. He couldn’t help but think of the King of the Person Xiaos.
At the last moment when he regained his sanity, he also made the same plea: "Help me... kill me..."
"If... you can go, please... take a look at her for me." Ha Gong spoke again.
Yuan Ming was at a loss for words, but in the end, he asked, "Where is she?"
"Under the largest kapok tree in the Qingao Mountain Miao Flower Village." Ha Gong said this sentence smoothly, without any stumbling, that was his home.
Yuan Ming repeated it word by word and promised.
Finally, a smile appeared in Ha Gong’s eyes, as if fulfilling his greatest hope.
"Yuan Ming, thank you... accompany me for a while." After Ha Gong finished speaking, he slowly closed his eyes.
Yuan Ming heard this and held the Green Fish Sword in his hand, feeling a heaviness he had never felt before. He picked it up several times and put it down several times.
He thought and thought in his mind, trying to find a way to save Ha Gong, but he had no clue.
The process of becoming a person xiao was irreversible, or for people like them, it was irreversible, just like the fate of a beast slave, once it was put on, it was almost impossible to change.
"Uh..."At this moment, Ha Gong let out another painful groan. All the hair below his waist had turned completely white.
"Quick, do it... I can’t hold it back anymore..." Ha Gong said with difficulty.
