West Fortress …
Many young men were holding mops and buckets, trying their best to clean the bloodstains on the road.
"I want to go to war, I don't want to be a janitor!" said a young man angrily as he tossed the broom aside.
"We have to clean up the corpses in time. It's easy to spread the plague when they are piled up. Hangzhou is already covered in a terrifying plague. If West Fortress is the same …" said Wang Xiaojun.
As soon as he finished the sentence, a cry of agony suddenly came from the barracks.
The young men were stunned. It took them some time to collect their thoughts.
Wang Xiaojun quickly ran into the barracks. He saw a bunch of Battlemages running out of the barracks as soon as he reached the entrance, as if they had just seen a ghost.
"What's wrong, what's going on?" asked Wang Xiaojun.
"Plague, plague, Big Li is covered in rotten wounds!" yelled one of them.
Wang Xiaojun squeezed into the crowd and saw a young man with his upper body naked crouching in a corner, scratching at the wounds under his skin. His fingernails had already broken through the wounds. Blood with a foul smell was leaking out from the wounds. It was a terrifying sight.
Everyone in the barracks was scared out of their wits. They immediately ran for their lives.
Everyone knew how contagious the plague was. If a patient was found in the barracks, it was very likely that the whole place would be infected!
"Big Li, are you alright?" asked Wang Xiaojun as he approached the man timidly.
"What are you doing here? Stay away from me!" yelled the young Battlemage at the young man.
"I … I just want to bring you to the medical office. It's not necessarily a plague. Maybe you were bitten by a poisonous rat. I think your blood smells like it," comforted the young man, Wang Xiaojun.
"Wang Xiaojun, it's none of your business. Piss off, the medical staff will be here soon!" A soldier came up and kicked the young man away.
The soldier stayed close to the sick young man, not daring to go any closer.
Wang Xiaojun rubbed his aching butt as he walked out of the barracks. He mumbled to himself, "If it's not a plague, then I must have been bitten by a poisonous rat!"
While he was mumbling to himself, a girl in a black and red cheongsam with plum blossoms quickly walked toward him. Wang Xiaojun's eyes almost popped out of their sockets when he saw the beauty.
When had there ever been such a beautiful little girl in the fortress? Look at her adorable twin ponytails, then look at the cheongsam girl's tender and long legs. She would definitely grow up to be a great beauty!!
"Hey, what did you just say?" The little loli walked over and asked with a hint of arrogance and coldness.
"How rude! You should call me brother!" Wang Xiaojun said.
"Cut the crap, hurry up and tell me what you just said. Why do you think it's not a plague?" Ling Ling questioned.
"It's not a plague to begin with. It happened to me when I was catching rats in the past. I have quite a lot of it on my hands. I just need to apply the juice of the Red Falcon Grass on them, and they'll be fine!" Wang Xiaojun said honestly after sizing up the smug little Lolita.
"Are you telling the truth?" Ling Ling asked seriously again.
Lingling had been in the Stronghold the whole time and had been observing the blood serums.
She was initially confused as to how the blood serums were related to the plague, but she finally understood the reason now!
The source of the plague was the blood serums that were used to treat injuries. The young man who had contracted the plague was the best proof. Ling Ling had witnessed the Battlemage who had just returned from the battlefield receiving the blood serums with the problem, and the disease was acting up after he consumed them!
West Fortress had always been under strict surveillance. The plague had never spread to the fortress, eliminating the possibility that it had been accidentally infected.
Ling Ling had obviously come to check on someone who had contracted the disease.
Unfortunately, the bold young man had caught her attention. Ling Ling immediately asked him about it.
"Why would I lie to you? I'm raising a gray eagle. Its lineage isn't pure, so the Beast Tamers don't like it because it doesn't have enough to eat. Therefore, I always sneak into the woods to catch some big rabbits and rats for it to eat. There were a few times when I stumbled into a poisonous rat monster. When I was afflicted with the poison, the gray eagle would give me the Red Falcon Grass that only grows in the West Ridge. I recovered in no time, as if nothing had happened to me. Besides, the next time I stumbled into a poisonous rat monster, I didn't get any more poison, "said Wang Xiaojun seriously.
"Do you still have the Red Falcon Grass?" asked Ling Ling.
"No, the Red Falcon Grass doesn't grow in our area, but it's as common as weeds in the West Ridge. Normally, we could still find some Red Falcon Grass, but it's no longer possible now. The White Magic Falcons are as violent as a bunch of devils, occupying the West Ridge. They might even attack us at any second … "said Wang Xiaojun.
"Come with me," Ling Ling did not hesitate. She grabbed Wang Xiaojun's sleeve and led him to an observation deck.
Mofan was sitting at the edge of the observation deck. His eyes were fixed on the West Ridge in the distance, which had turned from blue to white.
The number of White Magic Falcons seemed to be increasing. They had long filled up the mountain range, just like how humans would gather their army …
It was hard to tell when they would attack again. It was hard to tell how many deaths the White Magic Falcons would bring to Hangzhou City.
"Mofan, I've found something," Ling Ling dragged the young man Wang Xiaojun over to Mofan.
Wang Xiaojun saw that Mofan was wearing a military uniform. He quickly brought his feet together and saluted at Mofan, "Greetings, sir."
Ling Ling told Mofan what she had seen.
Mofan was still doubtful. He asked for more details.
"The Red Falcon Herb is in the West Ridge. Look at the West Ridge … the feathers of the White Magic Falcons have covered the green color of the ridge like leaves. If we can't find the Red Falcon Herb, how are we going to prove that he's telling the truth?" said Mofan.
Ling Ling saw Mofan shaking his head and sighing. She immediately poked Mofan's head with her finger and scolded, "Are you stupid? If we can't get close to the West Ridge, we can ask the kid to catch a Poison Rat Monster and dissect it. If we can prove that the poison of the Poison Rat Monster is the same as the plague sores, we can prove that the Poison Rat Monster is the source of the plague!"
Mofan's eyes glittered. He scooped the soft Ling Ling into his arms and kissed her on the cheek, "HAHA, why didn't I think of that … kid, what's your name? Go and catch a Poison Rat Monster. No, I'll go with you. With your strength, it'll take you half a day to kill it."
"It's in the woods ahead. Come with me, I have a way to lure the Poison Rat Monsters out," said Wang Xiaojun.
Mofan nodded. He summoned the Swift Star Wolf without hesitation.
If the young man was right, they had found a way to solve the plague that had caused a huge uproar in Hangzhou!
