Xiao Han introduced Xiao Ling`er and Xiao Chen's situation. His face was full of smiles as he spoke, feeling satisfied and gratified.
After Ji Tianxing heard that, he also nodded with a faint smile. "That is good. Lord Xiao guiding them can be considered unearthing talents.
The two of them are working for the people, proving their talents and repaying Lord Xiao's kindness. "
"That's right!" Xiao Han nodded in agreement and said, "At first, this Great One was worried that bringing them out of the Xiao Clan and directly assigning positions to them would cause dissatisfaction among the soldiers under my command.
After all, this Great One was also worried that people would slander me behind my back, saying that this Great One appointed people based on favoritism, placing relatives in the army.
Fortunately, the two of them are very outstanding and did not disappoint. That was why the soldiers had nothing to say … "
After talking about Xiao Ling`er and Xiao Chen, Ji Tianxing withdrew his smile and asked Xiao Han, "Lord Xiao, when I came, I saw a terrible stench outside the city. Black Qi drifted about.
The citizens in the city were nowhere to be seen. All the doors and windows were tightly shut, and even the city-protecting formation was activated.
What exactly is going on? I heard that there seems to be a plague? "
Xiao Han was stunned for a moment. The smile on his face gradually faded, and he frowned deeply.
Xiao Han's aura quickly changed from relaxed and joyful to heavy and solemn.
Obviously, the happy smile just now was all an act. The frown on his face at this moment was the true portrayal of his mood.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Han said in a solemn tone, "Tianxing, if you did not mention it, I did not want to tell you about this matter. It is because this matter is very troublesome and dangerous.
You are just passing by and will be staying in Black Rock City for a few days. I do not want to trouble you and delay your companions' recuperation. "
Ji Tianxing raised his eyebrows and said, "Before I came to Black Rock City, I met the Imperial Tutor. He told me some information about the disaster and the plague.
How troublesome and dangerous is this matter? If you are helpless, the people in the coastal cities will be the ones to suffer.
Even if I have matters to attend to in the Eastern Sea's Sinkhole and am only passing by Blackrock City, it's impossible for me to ignore this matter since I've encountered it. "
Hearing this, Xiao Han's eyes immediately lit up. He quickly asked, "Tianxing, you actually met the Imperial Tutor. Did the Imperial Tutor tell you the relevant information?"
Xiao Ling`er's eyes lit up as well, and she revealed a gaze filled with shock and adoration.
To her, the Imperial Tutor of the human race was an unreachable existence, like a celestial being.
On the other hand, Ji Tianxing and the Imperial Tutor seemed to be very close.
This undoubtedly meant that Ji Tianxing's status was extremely high, and his status was extremely revered!
She stared fixedly at Ji Tianxing, her heart secretly excited.
"That's right." Ji Tianxing nodded and said with a solemn expression, "Lord Xiao, what exactly is going on? Please tell me in detail. Perhaps I can help."
Xiao Han hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "Tianxing, it's not that I don't care about the lives of the commoners. I just don't want to implicate you.
Since you care about the commoners of the Eastern Sea and are willing to help, then I won't hide it from you.
It's like this. On the morning of a month ago, the City Lord of Spirit Flood City suddenly sent me an urgent report, saying that there was a disaster in a fishing town outside the city.
A large amount of black-red fog surged out of nowhere and enveloped the entire fishing town.
Within a short two hours, over twenty thousand commoners in the town were all dead. Their corpses were corroded into bones and blood.
Even the chickens, ducks, pigs, dogs, and other livestock in the town, as well as the marine fish stored by each family, were all turned into pools of blood and rotting bones. The entire fishing town was truly wiped out. "
At this point, Xiao Han's expression became even more solemn, and his tone became even lower.
"When the City Lord of Spirit Flood City received the news, he sent people to the fishing town to check on the situation. However, the people he sent were all poisoned to death by the black-red fog and turned into blood and rotting bones like the commoners.
Later, the sea breeze blew away the black-red fog, and the highly toxic fog spread out and eroded the two surrounding towns.
The commoners and living creatures in the two towns were all killed and corroded by the poisonous fog.
The poisonous fog continued to spread and even invaded Spirit Flood City and the bay, killing countless marine fish.
The situation was uncontrollable, and the poisonous fog continued to spread, turning into a terrible plague that began to spread to the surrounding cities.
All the commoners in the towns and cities that were infected by the highly toxic plague were killed by the plague.
Spirit Flood City was the place where the plague broke out, and now it has become an empty city. More than half of the commoners were killed or injured, and the lucky survivors have all fled.
The same thing happened to the commoners in the other cities. When they heard the news of the plague spreading, they were all scared out of their wits and fled with their families ….
Now, all the cities in the Eastern Sea are in dire straits. Corpses are everywhere, and the commoners are homeless …. "
When Ji Tianxing heard this, his face became very unsightly. He asked in a low voice, "The highly toxic plague has spread to Blackstone City in just a month.
Is that why you closed the city and activated the Great City Defense Array, so that the commoners can hide in their homes and are not allowed to go out? "
Xiao Han nodded and said in a helpless and pained tone, "Yes, I really have no other choice! The coastal cities are in chaos, and the commoners are in a state of panic.
Blackstone City is the main city of the Eastern Sea, and I am the overseer here.
If the commoners of Blackstone City run away, then the billions of commoners in the Eastern Sea will no longer have any support and will collapse. "
Ji Tianxing nodded slightly to show that he understood. He asked in a low voice, "Have you calculated the losses and casualties caused by the highly toxic plague in the past month?"
Xiao Han nodded. His tone was heavy as he said a number that made one's heart sink.
"So far, the highly toxic plague has eroded thirty-five cities and killed more than two million commoners. It has forced more than twenty million commoners to flee their homes and become homeless.
The five hundred thousand elite soldiers under my command have been comforting the commoners and helping them to move their camps to avoid the plague.
In the past month, more than forty thousand soldiers have died.
In addition, I have sent a large number of experts to investigate the origin of the plague and discuss a solution to the highly toxic plague.
Unfortunately, until now, I have not found the origin of the plague, nor do I have a solution to the plague.
I only know that the highly toxic plague should be related to the Demon Race. It seems to be some kind of evil secret art passed down from ancient times.
After the commoners killed by the plague turn into blood and rotten bones, they will quickly condense into a blood cloud and disappear mysteriously.
The weaker warriors and commoners would turn into a pool of blood within two hours after being infected by the plague.
Only experts of Yuan Dan Stage and above can hold on for ten days.
Experts of the Heavenly Origin Stage can hold on for about a month before they die from the poison and turn into blood. "
Hearing this, Ji Tianxing frowned and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
