Chapter 201 Approaching the Gods (Twenty-three)

He originally thought that his childhood friend was just suffering from hysteria, or perhaps he was just unwilling to admit the horrible truth and chose to ignore all the signs.

However, after taking the medicine for a few days, my childhood friend's condition did not improve at all. Instead, he looked less and less human.

Instead, there was brutal bloodlust.

On this day, he still went to Fuxiantang.

But from passers-by, we learned that the people in Fuxian Hall had left the city early because of the recent strange disturbances, and their whereabouts were unknown.

So he had to return empty-handed and continue to make medicine for his childhood friend that seemed to have no effect at all.

During the day, childhood friend could basically stay awake, especially on this day, he was inexplicably more awake than at any time in the previous few days. He could even joke and chat with Tian Shikang, and even take out the scriptures to review.

"Although the academy is closed now and the imperial examination is cancelled, there's no telling when it will be resumed, so it's better to make preparations early." My childhood friend said with a smile.

Tian Shikang was particularly happy, thinking that the medicine from Zhongyuantang had finally worked.

However, no one expected that the situation would deteriorate drastically once the sun went down.

His breathing became heavy and rapid, his skin became redder, and his whole body felt like it was burning like charcoal.

Tian Shikang thought his childhood friend had a high fever, so he used his hand to test the temperature of his forehead.

As a result, the childhood friend dodged, his whole body trembling, a low groan came out of his mouth, and he tried hard to squeeze out a broken sentence: "Stay, stay away from me..."

Then he covered his head in pain and fell heavily to the ground.

Tian Shikang observed his childhood friend's changes in panic and hurriedly asked, "Are you okay?"

Tian Shikang, who was kneeling beside his childhood friend and trying to help him up, suddenly heard a low, beast-like throat sound.

Before he could react, his childhood friend's face slowly rose from between his arms.

This is not the childhood friend he knew!

This is the first thought that flashed through my mind.

Second thought, run!
And that's exactly what he did.

As he ran towards the gate, he looked back and saw his childhood friend's face right in front of him.

On that red and bleeding face, the deep dark eyes only showed bloodthirsty desire, the corners of the mouth were cracked wide, and saliva with blood dripped from the corners of the mouth.

Tian Shikang could see that this strange creature in the disguise of his childhood friend had only one emotion.

That is, longing for the flesh and blood of the person in front of you.

At this point, they were already too close, and the breathing of their childhood friend was almost heard.

Tian Shikang's heart was beating wildly and a chill ran up his spine to the top of his head.

Suddenly, there was a sharp pain on his back and Tian Shikang cried out in pain.

He didn't know whether he was bitten or scratched by his childhood friend, but he didn't dare to look back and just ran away.

However, his speed was completely inferior to that of his childhood friend who had transformed into a strange creature. The next moment, he felt a sharp pain in his legs and fell to the ground...

"Don't do this! Let me go!" Tian Shikang was in so much pain that he couldn't get up for a while. Looking at his "childhood friend" who was approaching with a roar, he could only cry out weakly, his voice filled with fear and anxiety.

"Run...quickly." Suddenly, these words were mixed in with the irrational roar of a wild beast.

Tian Shikang opened his eyes in shock, which he had just closed out of fear, and saw that his childhood friend's eyes had regained a bit of clarity.

"Hurry..." My childhood friend gritted his teeth and squeezed out a word.

Then he suddenly became ruthless and slammed himself against the wall, dislocating his arm. Then he looked at his legs, as if thinking about how to make himself crippled.

Tian Shikang felt a sharp pain in his heart when he saw his childhood friend controlling himself in such a self-harming way. He originally thought that if there was really no other way, he could only find a knife...

But now it seems that there is still a glimmer of clarity deep in my heart. I don’t know how long it will last, but this is also a glimmer of hope.

As long as there is a glimmer of hope, he doesn't want to abandon his childhood friend.

At this critical moment, he inexplicably remembered what the strange woman said.

"Generally speaking, I am in this temple at night. If you encounter any trouble, you can come to me."

Tian Shikang climbed up with difficulty, and facing his childhood friend who was struggling in pain, he did not hesitate, and quickly ran to the beam, found the rope that was used to tie up his childhood friend every day, and quickly returned to his side.

At this moment, the childhood friend was struggling to stand up, the rage in his eyes reappeared, but he suppressed it: "Why... don't you run..."

Tian Shikang didn't say anything. He took advantage of his childhood friend's momentary clarity and quickly tied his hands and feet with ropes.

Fortunately, he was used to doing this, and it was quick and firm, making it difficult to break free.

As for whether his childhood friend, who had now changed, could still be controlled in this way, he was not sure, but he had no choice but to do so.

"I'm sorry, I have to save you..." Tian Shikang said to his childhood friend whose eyes were gradually becoming cloudy and who was about to lose himself, his voice full of trembling apology.

Then he locked the door and ran hurriedly towards the secluded mansion he had seen that day without looking back.

A few drops of cold rain fell, dripping on Tian Shikang's head and face.

It started with a few drops, but soon turned into a heavy downpour that soaked him completely.

But Tian Shikang couldn't care less, he had to hurry up...

……

At this time, Tian Shikang in Ginkgo Village still felt a lingering fear when he recalled what happened that day.

He just went to ask for help by grasping at the last straw, without actually holding out much hope.

But what was unexpected was that the Earth Mother Priest was so powerful. With the power bestowed by the Earth Mother, he used the terrible tentacle monster to extract all the weirdness from his childhood friend, successfully reversing the "weird" disease that everyone said was incurable.

The childhood friend never thought that he could actually turn back into a mortal body. He was so excited that he immediately knelt down in front of the Earth Mother Priest and spoke incoherent words of gratitude.

From then on, both of them became believers of Mother Earth.

In these troubled times, only Mother Earth can lead them out of the darkness.

Ever since Tian Shikang witnessed the extraordinary divine power of the Earth Mother Priestess, he has felt an unprecedented desire in his heart.

Just as once one has seen Gaochuan, how could one be willing to stay at the bottom of the mountain and look up? Tian Shikang's desire for power gradually rose to the extreme.

Especially when he saw that the young widow named Song Yanran was able to pass the assessment and become a new trainee priest, he finally could not hold back his desire one day and knelt before the Earth Mother Priest, begging to be able to learn from her and become a priest who could serve Her Majesty the Earth Mother.

Fortunately, the Earth Mother Priestess was kind and willing to give him a chance.

So, he concentrated on studying the sacred books, helping to repair the temple, and serving the Earth Mother Priest...

Finally, he became the second newly promoted apprentice priest and received the power bestowed by the Earth Mother...

"Priest Shi Kang, are we going back now?"

Tian Shikang was walking on the ridge of the field when he suddenly heard the faint voice of a cowardly man.

The sound was weak and muffled, as if it was covered by the soil.
