Chapter 386 This Gu poison was not an accidental infection, but a deliberate act.

"Strange illness? What kind of strange illness?" Xiao Tang was intrigued and naturally wanted to get to the bottom of it.

Since we're already here, we definitely need to resolve this properly.

Qi Chen secretly glanced at Di Jingling.

She is, after all, someone else's wife.

What if something goes wrong, like contracting a strange disease...

He'll be the first person to snap his neck.

Di Jingling simply raised his chin, signaling him to speak quickly.

Xiao Tang didn't hear him say anything for a while, "Why aren't you saying anything?"

[And hey, why do you keep looking at the main villain? Does his dark complexion mean you'll know how to deal with him if you look at him too much?]

"People infected with this strange disease will bite others when it gets dark, and those who are bitten by them will become like this."

Upon hearing this explanation, Xiao Tang's eyes widened slightly.

"Oh, that's it?"

[This thing, isn't it just a zombie...? ?]

[Zombie state.]

"That's it?" Seeing Xiao Tang so calm, Qi Chen couldn't be so calm anymore. He raised his voice excitedly, "You have no idea how exaggerated this is. Now these infected people can only be shackled to prevent them from doing whatever they want."

"Where are they all being held?" Di Jingling, who had been silent, finally asked.

He was quite curious.

What kind of Gu poison could be so contagious?

Based on Qi Chen's explanation, it must be a Gu poison.

Did that idiot Di Yanhen want him to come here and get bitten by these villagers who are infected with Gu poison?

Xiao Tang looked at him expectantly, waiting for his answer.

Qi Chen was both amused and exasperated by their curious state. "Alright, I'll take you to see it."

Xiao Tang immediately stood up, and just as Di Jingling was about to leave, she grabbed his wrist and said solemnly, "You are not allowed to go. Wait here."

Di Jingling frowned.

[The book mentions that the Gu poison is particularly sensitive to the main villain.]

What if those villagers saw the main villain and pounced on him like madmen? That would be terrible!

Although the poison in the main villain's body has been cured, it's still uncertain whether there will be any problems.

Xiao Tang met his fierce gaze without flinching, her expression even more ferocious than his.

His eyes were wide open.

He's fierce, even fiercer than him.

Di Jingling: ...

Qi Chen, who was watching from the side, was completely dumbfounded and found it unbelievable.

"Hehe... those patients are all locked up, so you don't need to worry too much. I'll take the princess to see them and then we'll be back."

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting tense, Qi Chen had no choice but to bite the bullet and explain to Di Jingling.

Little did they know, this explanation was just stirring up hatred.

The man's cold, knife-like gaze swept across his face, as if he harbored an overwhelming hatred for the man.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Tang tiptoed and patted his head.

"Sweetie, wait for me to come back."

It's like coaxing a child.

Qi Chen was dumbfounded.

Everyone says you shouldn't touch a tiger's head, but this woman not only can touch it, she does so as if it's perfectly natural and without any pressure.

In the end, Di Jingling compromised.

He watched Qi Chen and Xiao Tang's retreating figures, pursing his lips.

Yan Shi was also kept behind.

Ruyi, however, went with Xiao Tang.

Yan Shi said weakly, "Wang... Hao Xian."

The man glared at him, displeased.

"Actually, the princess is also worried about your safety. If something happens to you, the princess will definitely be heartbroken."

"Yan Shi, can't you speak properly?" the man suddenly said, looking at him with disdain.

If you can't speak properly, then don't speak.

Yan Shi awkwardly touched the tip of his nose.

He clearly wanted to tell the prince not to worry about the princess... The princess was doing it entirely for his own good, so how did he end up being the one the prince disliked?

...

In the camp where the patients were imprisoned, they were all placed in cages one by one to prevent them from causing trouble.

Their hands and feet were bound by chains.

Xiao Tang was shocked when she saw them.

Because it's not dark yet, the people in the iron cages are huddled in a corner, looking very pitiful.

She pursed her lips, her gaze sweeping over the patient in the iron cage.

It's a form of poison.

If it's a regular poison, the system will sound an alarm.

Even so, she felt very heavy-hearted.

The male protagonist is utterly devoid of moral values. In order to harm the main villain, he laid a trap that would sacrifice the lives of so many innocent villagers.

I don't know how someone like that became the male lead?

If it were her, she would have been furious.

She walked past each of the iron cages, then suddenly stopped in front of the last one.

A little girl, probably only six years old, was huddled in a corner, her tiny face tucked into her arms, looking very weak, helpless, and pitiful.

Qi Chen explained, "She was bitten by her mother, and that's how she ended up like this. It was unavoidable."

Xiao Tang looked helpless. "What did they eat? What did they drink? Is there anything unusual about them?"

Faced with Xiao Tang's doubts, Qi Chen explained earnestly, "There's a black hole on your neck."

Xiao Tang saw it too.

The little girl heard the sound and looked up.

At first glance, the black hole on her neck looks like a mole.

Xiao Tang pursed her lips. "Okay, I understand."

The Gu worms must have crawled in from there.

"Who was the first person to fall ill? Let me see."

Qi Chen paused slightly, his expression turning somewhat unpleasant.

"What's wrong?"

“They were burned to death by the villagers,” Qi Chen said in a low voice. “After all, they thought it was the work of a snow monster, or perhaps the snow monster possessed them, so… they burned them to death.”

The Yeti is impossible.
