"Can you take me to see the person who dug up the pink crystal?" Li Xiu looked at the fat man and asked.

"Who are you, and you want me to lead you?" The fat man's eyes widened, and he looked like he was making a mistake.

"Do you know what this is?" Li Xiu took out a magic core and waved it in front of the fat man's eyes.

"Tch, isn't it just a magic core? No one has seen it before." The fat man curled his lips and said.

"Lead the way for me, it's yours." Li Xiu threw the magic core to the fat man.

After the fat man caught the magic core, he immediately laughed: "I'm just leading the way. No problem, come with me."

"You guys stay here and watch. Whoever dares to come to my mine to dig for gems again must pay. If you don't pay, you will be beaten to death by me." The fat man asked the others to stay here, and he took Li

Xiu and Bandit walked outside the mine entrance.

"Brother, I think you're not bad. Brother, I have to give you some advice." The fat man said as he walked: "That guy's illness is very evil. You'd better not enter his house."

"Why?" Li Xiu took out another magic core and threw it to the fat man.

The fat man took the magic core and said with a smile: "My brother is really refreshing. Most people like me don't tell them this. Seeing that you are so cheerful, I will tell you the truth. That guy's illness is not ordinary..."

The fat man told the whole story of the incident, which made Li Xiu even more suspicious that the evil might be in that person.

The fat man spent some money to get this abandoned mine in his name, intending to try his luck to see if he could dig something more.

As a result, dozens of miners dug for several days, and all they unearthed were useless stones, not even a single inferior rough stone.

I thought that there would be no gems to be found in this poor place. Anyway, I didn't spend much money, so the fat man didn't pay much attention to this place.

Who would have known that during the period when the fat man was not here, a few miners secretly went into the mine to dig, and actually dug up rough pink spinel stones.

Of course, Fatty didn't know that at the time, but later the miners who dug up the pink spinel took out the rough stone and sold it.

Someone discovered that the miner suddenly became rich, spent money lavishly, and even paid off all the debts he owed before. The matter was reported to Fatty, who discovered the problem after a little investigation.

At that time, the fat man called a group of people, and he was going to find trouble with the miner and ask him to spit out all the rough stones he had dug up.

A group of people ran to the miner's house aggressively, only to see the miner lying half-dead on the bed with many sores on his body, and some of the wounds were infested with maggots.

The scene frightened Fatty and his group so much that they hurried away without asking anything for fear of being infected.

"Brother, why are you looking for him? No one dares to go to his house now. No one has seen him for several days. Maybe he is dead," said the fat man.

"I have something to ask him. I hope he is still alive." Li Xiu said casually.

The fat man took them to a row of wooden houses in the suburbs and said: "Originally, there were several other miners living here, but they were afraid of being infected and had moved away long ago. They would rather sleep in tents than come back. He is the only one here.

I don’t know if he’s dead or not.”

The fat man was talking, but he refused to take a step forward: "Brother, I won't go over. You can go find him yourself."

After saying that, the fat man turned around and trotted away.

"Wait for me outside." Li Xiu said to the bandit, and then walked towards the wooden house that the fat man mentioned.

I knocked on the door and asked if anyone was there, but there was no response.

The simple wooden door was not locked, so Li Xiu directly pushed the door open and walked in.

The wooden house is very simple and small. When you enter the door, you see a wooden bed on the left with a person lying on it.

The man had long since lost his human shape. He was covered with a sheet, and his exposed arms and face were covered with pus-filled sores. Waves of stench hit his face.

"Fat man really didn't exaggerate." Li Xiu saw that there were actually maggots crawling on the sores on his arms, and almost vomited them out.

"Brother, if you're still alive, just say something and I'll take you to the hospital." Li Xiu saw the man lying on his back, his eyes half-open and half-closed looking at the ceiling, motionless, and he didn't know if he was dead or not.

"No... no need..." The man's lips trembled and he struggled to say a few words. His throat seemed to be rotten, and his voice sounded strange.

"You don't want to live anymore?" Li Xiu asked.

"I'm... no longer... alive... that... that... thing... has... eaten... my... body... almost... out..." The man's words made people feel...

It feels eerie.

"What?" Li Xiu asked quickly.

"Treasure... gem..." The man wanted to cough as he spoke, but after stretching his neck a few times, it seemed as if his throat was blocked and he couldn't cough out.

"I'll take you to the hospital first." Li Xiu said and walked towards the man.

The man shook his head vigorously and refused: "It's really... no... use... I am bringing it upon myself..."

The man's energy seemed to be a little better, and he spoke more smoothly than before, slowly speaking out some of the words he had been holding back.

He didn't care who Li Xiu was, he was going to die anyway, and he just wanted to finish talking.

Li Xiu knew from his words that this guy was indeed one of the miners hired by Fatty just as Fatty said.

Later, Fatty lost interest in the mine, and the miners were sent back.

But this miner usually liked gambling and owed a lot of debt. Thinking of Fatty's mine, he found a few other miners to try his luck again.

Unexpectedly, they actually dug up some rough spinel stones, but not many. Everyone only dug up a few rough spinel stones that were not too big.

At that time, this guy actually found a very high-quality and very large spinel rough stone. At that time, he became greedy and swallowed the rough stone without hesitation, not wanting to share this extremely high-quality rough stone with other miners.

.

I originally thought that when I got back, I would take some laxatives and pull out the gem.

Who knew that after I came back, I took a lot of laxatives and was almost dehydrated, but I didn't even see the shadow of the gem.

This guy didn't take it seriously at the time, thinking that when he got better, he could use some powerful medicine to get the gem out anyway.

Who would have known that after he sold the rough stones he had been given, within a few days of living happily, he started to suffer from physical problems. Not only was his whole body slowly dehydrated, and he could not replenish it no matter how much water he drank, he also had pustules all over his body.

Within a few days, he became like this, and it became worse day by day.

He could even feel that his internal organs were about to rot.

"If you are here for the gem, I beg you to kill me and give me a happy life. After I die, you can do whatever you want. Just cut open my belly and you should be able to find the raw spinel stone.

." The miner said with difficulty.

"Okay." Li Xiu nodded.

He doesn't mind being stained with blood. The miners' current situation is indeed worse than death, and they will only suffer if they continue to live.

"Okay, then do it quickly, I can't bear it for a second." The miner's lips trembled, as if he was enduring great pain.

Li Xiu put his palm on his waist, and with a flash of red light, the Fire Lotus Sword had pierced his head, causing the miner to lose consciousness and life.

"That's all I can do for you." Li Xiu pulled out his sword, not a drop of blood staining was left on the blade.

After confirming that the miner was completely dead, Li Xiu looked at his abdomen.

Li Xiu guessed that the raw spinel stone that the miner swallowed might have "evil" living in it. After he swallowed the raw spinel stone, it was equivalent to evil parasitic in his body.

Evil parasitism is a good thing for demons, but the human body may not be able to withstand this kind of parasitism.

Therefore, what this miner has is not a virus, nor is it a curse. It is just because he cannot bear the parasite of evil that this situation occurs.

This is because the evil has already parasitized in the gem before, instead of parasitic directly in his body, otherwise the situation will only be worse.

Li Xiuxiu wanted to dissect his corpse and take out the raw spinel stones inside, but suddenly he saw his belly pushing up.

Because there was a sheet covering his body, Li Xiu couldn't see what was going on underneath. He could only see that there seemed to be a pillar inside his belly, pushing up his belly.

While Li Xiu was staring, he heard a pop, the miner's belly split open, and something rolled out.

Li Xiu took a few steps back, and when he looked again attentively, he found a pink rough stone the size of a pigeon egg rolling down to the ground.

The pink rough stone was like a dirty jelly, rolling around on the ground as if it was looking for something.

After a while, the pink rough stone rolled towards Li Xiu, as if it had found its position.

Li Xiu picked up the glass on the table next to him and slammed it on the ground, trapping the pink rough stone inside.

The pink rough stone was spinning around inside the glass, making a clanging sound when the glass was touched.

After a while, the pink rough stone suddenly became quiet, and then a clear water-like liquid was seen seeping out of the pink rough stone.

The rough stone was only the size of a pigeon egg, but the liquid that seeped out almost filled the glass. I don't know how it got into the rough stone.

"It's really it!" Li Xiu was overjoyed. Seeing this guy trying to get into the gap in the wooden floor, Li Xiu flipped the glass over and then used the base of another glass to jam the mouth of the cup.

"Little guy, don't be afraid, I will find a good host for you." Li Xiu glanced at the miner's body, pondered for a moment, and walked out of the wooden house.

"A bandit, help me hire some people to bury the bodies of the miners inside." Li Xiu said to the bandit.

The bandit responded, turned around and walked towards the village in the distance.

Not far away, I saw the fat man standing not far away, looking this way, and saw the bandit walking over. He actually wore a mask and asked from a distance: "Why did you come back alone? Where is that brother?"

?”

"The miner is dead. You go find someone to bury the miner's body. It will be of great benefit to you." The bandit said.

"I also want to make this money, but no one dares to go." The fat man said helplessly.

"Don't worry, he doesn't have any infectious diseases," the bandit said.

"I believe what you say, but others may not believe it. It's not that I won't help you, it's that no one dares to go. If you don't believe it, go to the village and ask if anyone dares to go. No matter how much money you have, you still have to go.
