Everyone stood at the side and watched as the Apothecary checked Junior Brother Liu's condition. The Apothecary's face became uglier and uglier. When he lifted Junior Brother Liu's shirt, he stood up in shock and hurriedly took a few steps back.
"Blood plague … It's the blood plague!" The Apothecary's voice changed instantly.
The Apothecary's words caused everyone's face to turn extremely ugly.
On Junior Brother Liu's upper body, there was a patch of densely packed red dots all over his skin. As his body trembled continuously, the red dots became even more eye-catching.
In an instant, Zhou Xuan's face was covered in cold sweat.
The blood plague was an extremely ferocious plague. It would often break out in disaster areas during natural disasters. The accumulation and decay of corpses would cause the plague to descend.
Zhou Xuan was still worried about this previously. He did not expect that … the plague would really happen.
The disciple who helped Junior Brother Liu earlier turned pale when he heard about the blood plague. He fell to the ground with a thud and could not stop trembling. "I … I touched him just now … Senior Brother Zhou, I touched him …"
The blood plague could be transmitted through skin contact, and it spread very quickly. Once infected, the blood in one's body would be contaminated in a very short period of time. It was extremely difficult to cure it. What cultivators feared the most was the damage to the spirit root. During the period of the blood plague, the poisonous blood would corrode the spirit root in one's body. Even if it was cured in the future, it would be difficult to restore the corroded spirit root.
The spirit root was the foundation of a cultivator. If it was damaged, the future path of cultivation would be cut off.
Zhou Xuan's mind was buzzing. At this moment, he could not help but secretly rejoice that he did not touch any corpses today. Otherwise … the person lying there would very likely be him.
"Apothecary, can I trouble you to take a look at my Senior and Junior Brothers?" Zhou Xuan took a deep breath and looked at Ye Qingtang thoughtfully.
They did not have much contact with the corpses today. Junior Brother Liu only touched it slightly. The closest contact was probably the dagger that Ye Qingtang passed to him, which was stained with the mucus of the dead.
If Junior Brother Liu was infected with the blood plague, then Ye Qingtang …
Viciousness flashed across Zhou Xuan's eyes. If he did not have to do anything to get rid of Ye Qingtang, he would be happy to see it happen.
Moreover … it would take some time for the blood plague to die. He could let Ye Qingtang continue investigating during this period of time. That would be the best outcome.
The apothecary obeyed Zhou Xuan's order and examined the other three.
As expected, the red spots of the Blood Plague were found on the arms of the disciple who was paralyzed from fear and Lin Long. However, compared to Junior Brother Liu who was lying on the ground, the two of them were not as infected.
On the contrary, Ye Qingtang, who had been in contact with the corpses the most, did not show any signs of the blood plague.
Zhou Xuan was shocked by the result, but he did not forget to take a look at himself. Fortunately, there were no red spots of the Blood Plague.
However …
Out of the five of them, three of them were infected with the blood plague. This was not good news. Zhou Xuan could not help but frown.
When Ye Qingtang saw the inconspicuous red spots of the Blood Plague on Lin Long's arm, a look of surprise flashed across her eyes.
In her previous life, after the Spirit Condensation Mountain Village was exterminated, there was no news about the blood plague.
