Volume 2: The Demonic World Chapter 443: Blood Epidemic
In an instant, Lin Qianxing realized that there was a strange creature among this group of people.
After hesitating for a while, Lin Qianxing gave up the idea of blocking the road and robbing.
He doesn't know the specific situation of the strange creature yet, so it's better not to expose it too early.
During this period, Lin Qianxing also suffered losses from strange creatures.
Some strange creatures themselves do not have much killing power, but they can restrict Lin Qianxing and make him unable to live or die.
This is what Lin Qianxing fears the most.
Death is not scary. What is scary is that you want to die but others don't want you to die.
Then he'd really be in trouble.
The people of Wukong Sect shouted slogans and marched quickly. Soon, a town appeared in front of Lin Qianxing.
The three words "Daishan County" were written on the archway in front of the town.
At this time, the gates of Daishan City were closed, and outside the city were countless refugees, at least thousands of them. They were all pale and thin, with hunger and numbness in their eyes. This scene reminded Lin Qianxing of Nongshan City, so he couldn't help but frowned.
The grain production in Fuyao is not low.
Moreover, taxes and so on are not high.
Since Fuyao Country had almost no external enemies, it only needed to resist the strange beasts that occasionally emerged from the devouring fog, or suppress the local chaos.
The strange beasts usually only move around in the fog and are not interested in places with a lot of people.
Therefore, the daily life of the people in Fuyao is still very healthy and positive.
The occurrence of such a thing can only mean that a large-scale natural disaster has occurred in a certain place, or that a man-made disaster has occurred.
However, Lin Qianxing couldn't understand why Daishan County didn't open the city gates to provide relief to the victims?
Could it be that there is no food here, or is there some other hidden story?
Lin Qianxing didn’t quite understand, but he didn’t think about it too much.
At this time, people from the Wukong Sect also appeared in the eyes of the victims.
The victims ' eyes instantly turned to them, and then they rushed up to ask for food.
The strong men of Wukong Sect immediately blocked them outside and prevented them from getting close to the big shots inside.
What surprised Lin Qianxing was that those strong men only pushed and blocked the victims outside, but did not really hurt them.
At this time, a man in bright yellow clothes walked out of a carriage. He had a kind look on his face, and seemed to feel sorry for the situation of the victims around him.
Immediately, after he gave an order, several strong men came out carrying a huge pottery jar that was more than one person tall.
It's so big, maybe it shouldn't be called a jar, but a vat?
Lin Qianxing noticed that the jar seemed empty, but after the man in bright yellow clothes reached out and patted the jar, countless grains of rice suddenly poured out of it until the entire jar was filled.
Afterwards, the people of Wukong Sect shouted out their doctrine in unison, and the people around them were shocked and knelt down in worship.
"Gan Lishi, quickly take some people to set up a big pot, cook the rice into porridge and distribute it to the people." Liu Bing said to a strong man.
"I understand."
The strongman named Gan returned the salute and immediately asked people to do the work quickly.
Soon, they set up pots and started cooking porridge.
Lin Qianxing's eyes were always on the big vat.
There is no doubt that this is definitely the strange thing.
Did the Wukong Sect receive the news and bring this strange object to help the victims?
Lin Qianxing felt weird.
From the information he obtained, the Wukong Sect seemed to be an evil sect that was eager to create chaos in the world.
But the scene before him made him feel that this sect was not as the rumors said.
Just when Lin Qianxing's eyes fell on Liu Bing, he seemed to be aware of something and looked in the direction of Lin Qianxing.
But he didn't see anything.
Lin Qianxing used his mind to construct a layer of material that could refract light, hiding his figure.
He learned this technique from Ning Yi, but he made some improvements to make it more suitable for him and more efficient.
Now that he was hiding, even some monks with high cultivation levels could not detect his existence with the naked eye, not to mention that he was at least two thousand meters away.
At this distance, if Lin Qianxing did not have the powerful eyesight after being reborn many times, he might not be able to see clearly what was happening.
Liu Bing, who didn't find anything, didn't investigate further.
During the process of providing relief to the disaster victims, the senior officials of Daishan County also opened the city gates to welcome the people of Wukong Sect in.
Some people outside the city wanted to follow, but were stopped by the strong men and soldiers.
With a bang, the city gate closed, and the people from the Wukong Sect completely disappeared from Lin Qianxing's sight.
Lin Qianxing moved slightly, and soon he came among the victims.
He still remained hidden, and most of these people were just ordinary people, so they did not notice his presence.
"Lord Liu Bing is such a good man. I used to believe the rumors and thought that no one in the Wukong Sect was a good person. I was wrong about them..."
"When can we enter the city? I just want to have a meal. I can do anything..."
"Forget about it. We can't enter the city. We are infected with the blood plague. The magistrate of Daishan County has shown mercy by not sending troops to strangle us directly. Do you still want to enter the city?"
…
Perhaps it was his luck that came into play. As soon as Lin Qianxing arrived, he heard the conversations among the disaster victims and learned a lot of information he wanted.
For example, the victims are from Wenchang County. They were forced to flee their hometown and come here because of the blood locust plague.
There is also the leader of the Wukong Sect whose name is Liu Bing or something like that.
Of course, the most critical point is the blood plague.
This is a disease spread by blood locusts.
Once bitten by a blood locust, you will be infected.
The skin of the infected person will gradually turn red. If the skin turns completely red, it will explode directly, causing widespread damage and generating a large number of blood locusts.
The scariest thing is that this disease can spread.
Once you are injured by someone infected with the blood plague, or accidentally exchange saliva with the person, the disease may be transmitted.
Lin Qianxing carefully looked at the victims around him and found that their skin was a little red.
At first he thought it was a special race, but he didn't expect it to be this case.
From the current perspective, this blood plague seems to be a means of reproduction for the blood locusts?
They bite people in order to spread the eggs in their bodies to other organisms, and then reproduce and grow with the help of the energy of other organisms.
During this process , their numbers multiply so much that the entire body of the host turns blood red. Finally, when it can no longer hold on, it explodes, allowing the parasites to hatch out.
Of course, this is the assumption under normal circumstances.
There is another possibility, that is, they are strange beasts.
However, Lin Qianxing still planned to investigate the specific situation first.
Lin Qianxing found a disaster victim who had fallen ill. Several hesitant disaster victims gathered around him. Looking at the hunger in their eyes, it was obvious that they were considering whether to do something uncivilized.
However, the next moment, the body of the disaster victim in their eyes suddenly disappeared.
The victims were so frightened that their expressions changed and they ran away one after another.
Lin Qianxing used his mental power to lift the victim's body and brought him to a remote and shady place.
Immediately, Lin Qianxing began to check his physical condition.
Hunger, cold, fatigue... Under the accumulation of various conditions, he is already in a dying state, and no one knows how long he can live.
Lin Qianxing's spirit directly penetrated into his body, checking the details.
Sure enough, Lin Qianxing soon found countless blood-red cell particles that were rapidly multiplying.
These cell particles are different from the cells in this person's body. They are foreigners and are madly absorbing the energy in his body to proliferate and multiply.
Lin Qianxing felt that these should be the eggs of the blood locust.
Use your spirit to wrap up some of the blood locust eggs and try to move them out of the human body.
But Lin Qianxing failed in the first step.
His spirit could not touch these blood locust eggs.
After careful sensing, Lin Qianxing discovered that these blood locust eggs seemed to be in an energetic state. Lin Qianxing's spiritual particles were not condensed enough and passed through their bodies directly, so he was unable to wrap them up and expel them.
Lin Qianxing then tried using his internal energy, but found that it didn't work either.
After thinking about it, Lin Qianxing's mind moved, and a strange blood-red color spread between his fingers.
After the power of pain entered this person's body, it was like a whirlwind, destroying everything without leaving any chance of survival.
After a while, the red color on the person's body disappeared, and his overall physical condition became much better.
"It turns out that the power of pain is the real thing." Lin Qianxing sighed.
As a strange power at the rule level, the essence of the power of pain is ultimately much higher.
Ordinary and common strange beings have to take detours when faced with painful divine powers.
Lin Qianxing immediately had a plan.
Afterwards, Lin Qianxing sent the disaster victims to the Wukong Sect members who were distributing porridge, and he went straight into Daishan City.
After entering the city, Lin Qianxing went straight to the county magistrate's residence in Daishan County.
Then he hid his body and entered.
In the living room, Daishan County Magistrate Ren He and Liu Bing were conversing.
"If Mr. Liu can come to help, the 100,000 people in Daishan County will have nothing to worry about." Ren He said.
Liu Bing shook his head and replied, "I can't do anything about the blood plague of the victims. In order to avoid a major disaster, we should move them to a safe place and isolate them."
"Is there nothing Envoy Liu can do? You are one of the Ten Spirit Guards of the Wukong Sect!" Ren He asked in confusion.
"The blood locusts are too special. They are strange beasts spawned by the power of the blood moon. Unless you are a cultivator of the inner realm or a spiritual master who can generate a spiritual god, I'm afraid you won't be able to drive them away." Having said this, Liu Bing paused and said, "And the blood plague is a small matter. What I'm really worried about is the Blood Moon Alliance. What if the Blood Moon Alliance is behind this? Those people are probably just testing it first."
"Blood Moon Alliance!!!" Ren He raised his eyebrows, his face was obviously shocked, and then he fell into silence, and then said: "Then let's do as you say, sir."
"Wait a minute." Suddenly, Lin Qianxing showed up and said, "I can handle the blood plague."
