"Of course not. No matter how difficult this vampire devil worm is to deal with, don't forget that it has the word 'demon' in it. Now it depends on whether Xiao Yuanjing and the others can find the Soul Purifying Flower. This Soul Purifying Flower is the nemesis of the vampire devil worm. Wherever there is a vampire devil worm, there will be a Soul Purifying Flower blooming."
Meanwhile, Gu Yan and Xiao Yuanjing struggled to find medicinal herbs among the cliffs, knowing that these herbs might be the only hope for curing the plague.
"Xiao Yuanjing, be careful, this cliff is too steep." Gu Yan reminded nervously.
"Don't worry, I'll pay attention." Xiao Yuanjing climbed steadily on the rock wall with a firm gaze.
Guan Yunbai followed Gu Can's instructions and led the city defense troops to strictly implement epidemic prevention measures.
"Master Young Master, we have carried out strict inspections and disinfection on people entering and leaving according to your instructions." A soldier of the city defense army reported.
"Very good, continue to strengthen patrols and make sure nothing is missed." Guan Yunbai said seriously.
"Cancan, take a look, are these the herbs you want?" Gu Yan and Xiao Yuanjing both came back in a mess. Without caring about anything else, they immediately looked for Gu Can.
"That's right, you have worked hard, go and have a rest." Gu Can took the backpack and left.
"Great, the rest is up to Cancan."
"Miss Can hasn't slept for three days. How can her body bear it if she continues like this?" This is the doctor from Tonghua Town. They have been here since the outbreak of the epidemic. Many of them have also been infected with the disease. It was Gu Can who gave them acupuncture and saved their lives.
"Cancan." Gu Yan was also a little worried.
"This disease is serious and someone may die from it at any time. She dare not slack off for even a moment and just hopes that the medicine can be effective." Xiao Yuanjing's eyes were also full of heartache, but he knew that she would not stop unless the prescription was effective.
After getting the Soul-Purifying Flower, Gu Can immediately began to boil the medicine and conduct experiments on patients in the isolation area.
"Ms. Gu, will this prescription really work?" a patient's family member asked anxiously.
"I will do my best, but I can't be sure now." Gu Can answered, but his eyes were full of determination and hope.
After several days of hard work, the prescription finally showed initial results. Some patients' conditions began to improve, which gave everyone hope.
"That's great, Cancan, your prescription works!" Gu Yan said excitedly.
"It's too early to be happy. This is not just a simple epidemic." Gu Can still frowned.
"It's not an epidemic?" Gu Yan was puzzled.
"Uncle Gu and his team's autopsy revealed the presence of vampire worms. It seems you guessed right. The demons may really be making a comeback." Xiao Yuanjing said.
"What demon clan?" Gu Yan was confused.
"Even before in Fencheng, I felt that Chu Lingyue's affairs were very strange. Later, I sensed a strange aura from the monster army. It was very similar to the legendary demons, but I couldn't be sure."
"I originally wanted the sect to investigate the matter regarding the demon race."
"So that's what you talked about that night?" Gu Yan asked.
"Hmm? What else?" Gu Can looked at her puzzledly.
"No, nothing. I should have thought of it earlier." Gu Yan said. If Gu Canruo really got it, the happiest person would definitely be the matchmaker in heaven.
"In any case, the arrival of this vampire worm is very strange. If we don't find the real culprit behind it, no matter how many medicinal herbs we have, they will not be able to withstand the consumption." Gu Can said.
"Don't worry, I can't help you here. I will investigate the murderer behind the scenes." Xiao Yuanjing said.
"Well, my parents and I are here. Yan'er, take Xiaohua and go with Xiao Yuanjing."
"good."
Xiao Yuanjing and Gu Yan, along with Xiaohua, searched Tonghua Town for any clues they might have missed. Only by finding the source of the vampire worms could they truly resolve the plague.
"Xiao Yuanjing, look over there, there seems to be a figure moving." Gu Yan suddenly said, pointing to the woods in the distance.
Xiao Yuanjing looked in the direction Gu Yan pointed and indeed discovered some unusual movements.
"Let's go and take a look." He whispered.
The two approached the woods cautiously and found a group of mysterious people holding some kind of ceremony. They were dressed in black robes and chanted something, as if summoning something.
"Who are these people? What are they doing?" Gu Yan asked in a low voice.
"I don't know, but it doesn't look like a good thing." Xiao Yuanjing watched vigilantly, ready to deal with any possible danger at any time.
At this moment, a man in a black robe suddenly raised his head and looked directly in the direction of Xiao Yuanjing and Gu Yan. A strange light flashed in his eyes, and then a sharp whistle sounded. The other men in black robes turned and rushed towards Xiao Yuanjing and Gu Yan.
"Be careful!" Xiao Yuanjing shouted, drawing the long sword from his waist and preparing to fight. Gu Yan also took out his own weapon.
The two gradually developed a tacit understanding. After a fierce battle, the black-robed men were repelled one by one. However, just as they were about to give chase, the black-robed men suddenly disappeared into the depths of the woods, as if they had never appeared.
"Who are they? Why are they holding a ceremony here?" Gu Yan asked, panting.
"I don't know, but it seems that they are related to the plague." Xiao Yuanjing replied with a frown.
The two immediately went back to tell Gu Can what happened here, perhaps this would be the key clue to solve the mystery of the plague. They hurried back to the quarantine area and told Gu Can in detail what they saw and heard.
After listening to this, a thoughtful glint flashed in Gu Can's eyes.
"Just as I expected, we need more information about the origins of these black-robed men, their purpose, and how they control the vampire bugs." Gu Can said as he quickly recorded it in his notes.
