Chapter 2416: Poisoned to Death_1
Xie Xie saw Tang Wulin standing still in a daze and reminded him, "Wulin, don't just stand there foolishly, quick, check to see if your uncle is alright!"
Those words immediately snapped the latter back to reality, and he rushed to Tang Ziran's side, pulling the cloth from his mouth...
"Father, you..."
But the latter cut him off without hesitation, anxiously saying, "Wulin, quick, have the passengers on the Soul Guidance Train evacuate immediately—the Holy Spirit Cult has placed tons of soul cannonballs here!"
"Once detonated, everything within a kilometer will be reduced to flat ground!"
This declaration startled everyone from Shrek Seven Monsters, "What??"
They all chose to trust what Tang Ziran said because the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Master had used explosions to cut off the Soul Guidance Train!
Yue Zhengyu fiercely punched the wall, cursing, "Damn it! These heartless evil Soul Masters never planned on letting any of the passengers on the Soul Guidance Train survive!"
Ye Xinglan forced herself to remain calm, "We must evacuate the passengers on the Soul Guidance Train immediately, or... everyone will die here!"
Xie Xie narrowed his beautiful eyes, "I'll take care of informing the other passengers, you guys start evacuating right away!"
With his speed, getting beyond a kilometer in a short amount of time was no problem at all!!
Yuanen Yehui refuted, "No, you alone won't be fast enough!"
Xie Xie, however, gave a thumbs up, "Ye Hui, trust me, with my speed, it's enough!"
Despite the critical situation, feeling Yuanen Yehui's concern for him still warmed his heart...
Without waiting for the others to reply, Xie Xie immediately dashed out of the private room...
Xu Xiaoyan took a deep breath to soothe him, "Ye Hui, don't worry, if Xie Xie says so, he must be confident. Let's start by evacuating the Soul Guidance Train!"
Xu Lizhi nodded in agreement, "Yes, if we delay any further, it might be too late!"
Tang Wulin nodded slightly, then crouched down, "Dad, get on my back quickly, I'll take you away from here!"
Tang Ziran, however, weakly spat out some words, "Cough cough... Wulin, there's no need, right when the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Master kidnapped me, they had me ingest a strong poison, by now it's likely penetrated deep into my bones..."
After speaking, purple-black blood started to seep from the corner of his mouth...
Seeing this, Tang Wulin's eyes reddened as he reached out to grab the former's shoulders, "No, dad, you'll definitely be alright, Lizhi, quick, the Recovery Meat Bun!"
Tang Ziran was his last relative on the Soul Land, he absolutely couldn't let something happen to him!
Xu Lizhi quickly nodded, released a soul skill to create a Recovery Big Meat Bun, and had Tang Ziran eat it...
However, the latter's complexion remained deathly pale, his skin rapidly deteriorating, and in the blink of an eye, a putrid smell began to emanate...
Seeing this, Xu Lizhi clenched his teeth and said, "Wulin, it's no good, the Recovery Big Meat Bun can only slow the spread of the toxin, your uncle's poison has already spread throughout his body, I'm afraid it won't work!"
Although he was a support-class Soul Master, he had no soul skills specifically for detoxifying!
Naturally, Tang Wulin refused to believe it, and grabbed Xu Lizhi's collar in agitation, "What?? That's impossible! Lizhi, keep making more Recovery Meat Buns, it has to alleviate the poison!"
The latter hung his head in guilt, "Wulin... I'm telling the truth, with your uncle's condition, no amount of Recovery Big Meat Buns will have an effect!"
Tang Wulin roared, "Impossible... it's absolutely impossible, I don't believe it, dad is my only family, nothing can happen to him!"
Yue Zhengyu immediately intervened to stop him, his voice harsh as he scolded, "Wulin, calm down. Lizhi wouldn't lie; the Recovery Big Meat Bun really had no effect on your uncle..."
Merely by probing with spiritual power, one could detect that Tang Ziran's condition had reached a frightfully dire state!
Tang Wulin seemed to drift into a trance, "No... it can't be. I must be able to save Dad. Yes, if we find Elder Ya'li, she is the Saint Soul Douluo..."
Yet, Tang Ziran coughed up another mouthful of purple-black phlegm, "Cough, cough... Wulin, your companion is right. I am well aware of the state of my body; there's no saving me now..."
"So, don't worry about me, hurry and leave this place..."
Naturally, Tang Wulin would not give up because of this; he forcefully hoisted Tang Ziran onto his back, word by word he said, "No, I absolutely cannot just watch as you, Dad, die before my eyes!"
Having not saved his mother before, was he now to lose his father as well?
Having said that, he disregarded everything and began sprinting towards the outside of the Soul Guidance Train...
The Shrek Seven Monsters looked at each other, sighing helplessly before quickly following him...
...
After the Shrek Seven Monsters had successfully distanced themselves from the Soul Guidance Train...
Tang Wulin breathed a sigh of relief, and spoke to the person on his back, "Dad, we've successfully escaped. Just hold on a little longer, and we can save you from the poison!"
Little did he know, the Tang Ziran on his back had, during the tumultuous escape, reduced to nothing more than a skeleton, not even a whole body remained...
Upon seeing this, Yue Zhengyu couldn't help but speak up to remind him, "Wulin, your uncle, he has already..."
Yet his gesture was stopped by Yuanen Yehui beside him, "Uncle was Wulin's last kin. Let him have a moment to himself."
By now, Tang Ziran had become a mere skeleton, weighing less than one-tenth of a living person...
Tang Wulin must have noticed, but he likely wanted to numb himself to the reality!
Xu Xiaoyan said with a face full of anger, "Damn Holy Spirit Cult, first they killed Wulin's mother, and now they won't even spare his father!"
Xie Xie felt deeply the same, "Hmm, if I had known, I would have torn those Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters limb from limb earlier. Otherwise, it doesn't feel satisfying at all!"
Xu Lizhi voiced some self-reproach, "It's my fault, as a support-class Soul Master, I lacked a soul skill to detoxify; otherwise, uncle might not have..."
In his view, Tang Ziran's death was inextricably linked to him!
Ye Xinglan pursed her lips slightly and sighed, "Lizhi, don't overthink it. You can't blame yourself for this. The poison had spread throughout uncle's body; even with a detoxifying soul skill, the chance of saving him was very slim!"
Yue Zhengyu nodded, "That's right. Given that it's a poison from the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters, it's definitely not something that can be easily removed!"
"If there's blame to be laid, it should fall on the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters. We must wipe them out in the future!"
After a pause, he continued, "It's just, the impact of uncle's passing on Wulin, I don't know how long it will last!"
Yuanen Yehui's beautiful eyes began to flicker, "No matter how big the impact, as members of the Shrek Seven Monsters, it's our responsibility to help Wulin get over this hurdle. He's the Sea God Pavilion Master and the keystone of our Shrek Seven Monsters; he cannot fall into disarray over this!"
