Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor Chapter 1412 - 239: He Takes the Risks
Previously on Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor...
The closer they got to Dihong City, the more anxious Yun Sheng and the others felt.
None of them had anticipated that Dihong City would be in such a state. In their memories, Dihong City was a paradise on earth,
but now, Dihong City had completely become a wasteland.
Along the way, they encountered several berserk Dihong City residents, but thanks to Ye Beiming and Yun Canglang, those residents didn’t manage to harm them.
"Father, Mother!" Yuan Shahu arrived at the City Lord Mansion, only to find the tragic scene of the City Lord and his wife having both committed suicide within.
"Shahua, calm down." Seeing his wife desperately wanting to rush forward, Yun Canglang held her tightly, refusing to let her take another look.
"It seems the City Lord got infected by the Blood Mist Poison. To prevent harming others after becoming berserk, he took his own life. The City Lord’s wife probably couldn’t bear it, so she went with him." Yun Sheng, after examining their wounds, shook her head.
"Why... Why didn’t you listen to my warnings?" Yuan Shahu choked with sobs.
"Ugh—" Yuan Bupo, who was already restrained by Ye Beiming, also let out a cry like a trapped beast.
"Aunt, please hold your grief. Now is not the time for sorrow. I’m sorry, but the City Lord couple’s bodies cannot be buried temporarily. We must search the city these few days, identifying the living and the dead residents. Remember, try to capture residents alive without harming them. Also, I need some berserk Demon Beasts." Yun Sheng instructed the accompanying doctors and mages.
After about three days, Yun Sheng and the others finally managed to gather all the Dihong City residents who were still alive.
To prevent the residents from killing each other, Yun Sheng had to use the Thorny Sky Prison to separate and confine them. After counting, there were approximately more than two hundred Dihong City residents still alive.
Fortunately, besides the City Lord couple, Yuan Shahu’s sister Yuan Shanshan was found.
"The people have been captured, Yun Sheng, what do you plan to do next? Is there still hope for Bupo and Shanshan?" Yuan Shahu knew that grieving now would be futile, so she volunteered to assist Yun Sheng.
"I need to draw their blood and then..." Yun Sheng hesitated for a moment. "Then inject it into normal humans and Demon Beasts. I’m going to test it on myself first."
In modern medicine, small animal testing is used as a method for clinical treatment of various diseases.
But currently, on Wuji Continent, plants, Demon Beasts, and the Human Clan are all infected with the unknown Blood Mist Poison, so Yun Sheng had to resort to the most extreme experimentation method, which is direct testing on humans and Demon Beasts simultaneously.
"What?" Although they knew Yun Sheng’s style was different from that of typical doctors, Yuan Shahu and the others were still shocked.
"No way, Sheng’er, what if you become berserk too?" Yun Canglang resolutely disagreed.
"Yun Sheng, Uncle is right. If you really want to test it, test it on me." Ye Beiming stood up.
"No." Yun Sheng had previously discussed with Ye Beiming about possibly self-testing the Blood Mist Poison, but she hadn’t promised Ye Beiming he could substitute for her.
"I’m a man, I can’t let my woman take the risk. Leave the risky stuff to me. I have the Life and Death Talisman in my body, and I have experiences with berserk, my resistance is much stronger than ordinary people." Ye Beiming tried his best to persuade Yun Sheng.
"Yun Sheng, you should agree with Beiming. After all, you’re the best in medical skills among us. If you get infected by the Blood Mist Poison too, the rest of us would be helpless." The accompanying doctors and mages all persuaded Yun Sheng together.
"Everyone said so, Little Wildcat, rest assured, I will definitely get through this." Ye Beiming said softly.
"Alright, Ye Huli, trust me, I will definitely find a cure." Yun Sheng took a deep breath and finally made up her mind.
Within the Eight Desolate Beast God Altar, Dugu Xiu gazed at the desolate sky.
The Eight Blood Stars had vanished for ten days already.
"Rest assured, the Blood Mist Poison is incurable. When the Wuji Continent becomes a dead land, we can easily invade it." The Great Witch Doctor said excitedly beside him.
This Blood Mist pollution was a result of the Great Witch Doctor combining Bahuang Continent’s witchcraft, refined over several decades.
The Great Witch Doctor believed that even if a Divine’s presence came, it would be impossible to resolve Wuji Continent’s calamity this time.
"Are you certain the Blood Mist Poison is incurable?" Dugu Xiu asked.
"Well... I must admit, the Blood Mist is not entirely without a cure, since it’s made from your blood as the poison’s catalyst, the solution must be drawn by the one who tied the knot, and the antidote catalyst is on you, sir." The Great Witch Doctor said cautiously.
"Understood, you may leave." Dugu Xiu said indifferently.
Once the Great Witch Doctor left.
"A dead land, haha, is this really what I wanted?" Dugu Xiu questioned himself.
"Regretting it?" The High Priest appeared behind Dugu Xiu like an apparition, staring at him with a sinister look.
"Regret? Why would I regret it? Revenge on Wuji Continent has always been my vow, remember, I’m no longer the Dugu Xiu you knew." Dugu Xiu suddenly turned around, his face cold.
Damned old geezer... Ye Xiu looked at the High Priest with disgust.
He’s already seen it, the High Priest has special feelings for the Hei Qilin Clan Leader Ye Xiu, every time he uses that gaze on him, it makes his skin crawl.
He is Dugu Xiu, not Ye Xiu.
But for now, he cannot split with the High Priest.
"Yun Sheng, this time you’ve forced me, but I know you won’t just back down. I’m waiting for you to come find me again."
Looking once again at the pitch-black night sky, Dugu Xiu’s eyes seemed to turn into a sea of blood.
Days passed, those residing in Sky Wing City continued anxiously waiting for news from Dihong City.
"Still no news? It’s been over half a month now, could the master and her companions be in danger?" After returning from the Netherworld, Bo Bo temporarily separated from Yun Sheng and the others.
She waited in Sky Wing City for a while, but no news ever arrived.
"The situation in Dihong City is very complicated, we have no means to contact them right now. Bo Bo, please calm down, we must all have faith in Yun Sheng." Donghuang Lingling patiently advised Bo Bo.
"I can’t wait any longer, I’m planning to go to Dihong City." Bo Bo couldn’t bear her impatience anymore, despite Donghuang Lingling and the others’ attempts to stop her, she insisted on leaving the relatively safe Sky Wing City, heading towards Dihong City.
