Versatile Mage: One evolution point per second

Chapter 90 The demon’s warning!
After hearing these words, Tang Yue and Ling Ling's expressions changed slightly, and they quickly stepped back.

Demon soldiers!

Now that it has come to this, this person is basically beyond saving.

This parasitic demon must have noticed the changes in the village and is now testing it.

If any traces of their own were exposed, the parasitic demon would wipe out all the demon soldiers without hesitation.

This is both a temptation and a threat!

"What should we do? Should we deal with him directly?" Tang Yue asked with a hint of reluctance in her tone.

Ye Qiu shook his head. "Subdue him first. We need to find more clues from him."

Since comforting the soul is no longer effective, then naturally we have to be decisive.

The next moment, a mental shock hit, and the villagers who were still frantic fell down immediately.

Seeing this, Tang Yue and Ling Ling quickly stepped forward and suppressed the opponent to prevent him from going crazy again.

Ye Qiu also quickly stepped forward and carefully examined the man's body.

Sure enough, his neck and arms were also covered with black lines, exactly the same as the corpse in the ancestral hall.

"These lines... seem to be spreading." Lingling pointed at the man's arm and said in a low voice.

Ye Qiu nodded, his brows furrowed even more.

"It seems that these lines are not just traces of parasitism, they are constantly eroding the host's body and mind."

"Then what should we do now?" Tang Yue asked with a hint of anxiety in her tone.

Ye Qiu pondered for a moment, then said, "We need to split up. Tangyue, continue investigating the village to see if there are any other unusual villagers. Lingling, come with me to the outside of the village."

After saying that, Ye Qiu didn't care whether Tang Yue agreed or not, and left directly with Lingling.

……

Ye Qiu took Lingling out of the village, and the two walked along the path outside the village towards the woods.

"Do you know where the demon is? Why did you leave so suddenly? There are many things in the village that need to be confirmed." Lingling asked as she walked.

Lingling did not object to Ye Qiu's decision.

But after leaving the village, he still asked directly to understand Ye Qiu's intentions.

Ye Qiu let out a long sigh and shook his head helplessly.

"Huh, as soon as we arrived, demon soldiers appeared. This is a warning from that demon. I guess this parasitic demon is quite intelligent. The whole village is probably under surveillance."

Sometimes, even if Ye Qiu is very powerful, it is difficult to deal with.

For example, this is the case right now.

Ye Qiu clearly knew that there were parasitic demons here and that it could be dealt with with just a high-level magic spell, but he had no way to deal with it.

Very simple!
If this place is destroyed, all the villagers here will surely die.

Because anyone can be the body of a parasitic demon, and once they leave, all previous efforts will be wasted.

Therefore, if the army really wants to overthrow the enemy, the entire village will be buried with it to prevent this parasitic demon from causing more harm.

but!

Out of humanitarianism, Ye Qiu cannot do this. He must catch the parasitic demon.

Don't give the other party any time to react and kill them directly.

So, Ye Qiu simply left the village and avoided the sight of the demon.

Hearing this, Lingling was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, at this moment, it is best to get out of the other party's sight."

"Have you found the mode of transmission? We must catch it as quickly as possible."

"If nothing unexpected happens, this demon will be doing its final resource collection."

Originally, if Tang Yue and the others hadn't discovered it, this place would have most likely become the lair of this parasitic demon. But!

Now that it has been discovered, this parasitic demon will most likely take action.

For example, parasitic demons might resort to mass suicide.

This kind of collective suicide is actually an act of transferring energy to the main body. In addition, if this suicide ritual is completed, the person being parasitized will have all his life drained away and die directly.

That’s what happened to those demon soldiers who died before!
Ye Qiu naturally knew the urgency of this matter, but he shook his head helplessly.

"I'm not sure either, but since it can infect the villagers, its body is likely near the village."

"Let's look around here first and rule out factors outside the village."

Ye Qiu’s idea was very simple.

The spread of demons is limited to this one village.

That represents the way the demon spreads, and there are only two possibilities.

Or you can enter the village through a fixed way, but the chance of that is very small.

Or there may be changes within the village that are spreading in a way that permeates the villagers' daily lives.

Ye Qiu first determined whether the first type existed.

Lingling, the demon hunting master, understood Ye Qiu's idea immediately.

The two of them quickly ran around the village.

The two quickened their pace and soon arrived at the woods outside the village.

The forest is not dense, but the trees are tall, with luxuriant branches and leaves, blocking out the sun.

Along the way, Lingling used some special instruments to detect, and Ye Qiu used his mental power to scan and confirm bit by bit.

However, no trace of any excess, not even energy, was found from beginning to end.

Even if there are some traces of demons, they are all slave-level demons.

However, there is no way.

This is what a village is like!

Located on the outskirts of the city, there is no special protection.

In this era, it is normal for slave-level demons to appear near villages.

The demon hunting team also prioritizes the areas near the village during their daily patrols.

The two of them continued on their way, searching carefully in the woods.

As Ye Qiu walked, he released his mental perception, trying to capture the trace of the parasitic demon.

Suddenly, he felt a weak energy fluctuation coming from deep in the woods.

"Something's happening over there!" Ye Qiu's mind moved, and he immediately rushed towards the direction of the energy fluctuations.

Soon, Ye Qiu followed the wave and quickly came to an abandoned ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall was in a dilapidated state, with cracks all over the walls and half of the roof collapsed.

Ye Qiu walked into the ancestral hall cautiously and found a dry well in the center. The well was surrounded by weeds, making it look extremely desolate.

"Something's wrong here." Lingling's voice sounded behind Ye Qiu.

Lingling's eyes swept around and finally stopped at the dry well.

"This well..." Lingling frowned, as if she had discovered something.

however……

Facing Lingling's doubts, Ye Qiu's tone became a little serious.

"Phew, don't look at that place for now. It seems we underestimated that demon. We seem to be surrounded!"
