Chu Jinjin instantly understood where the familiar feeling came from: this half-human, half-corpse Northern Desert soldier was related to Mu Wei.
No wonder they are so fearless.
Several imperial physicians had already arrived. Hearing Wang Feng's shout from afar, they squatted down, conducted a brief examination, and then took out silver needles to prick the blood flowing from the wound.
It did not turn black.
According to later scientific explanations, silver needles have the effect of detecting poison, but only when the poison contains sulfur, so that a chemical reaction can occur and the needle turns black.
Of course, the technology of that era was limited, and the extraction was not pure; most of the toxins contained sulfur.
The imperial physician did not relax his efforts and reached out to touch the blood to verify the diagnosis in another way, but was stopped by Chu Jinjin.
The zombies' powerful attack capabilities are terrifying, but the virus's contagiousness is even more terrifying. Until we understand the situation, we not only cannot touch them, but we also have to temporarily put Wang Feng in a difficult position and isolate him.
The imperial physicians looked at each other in bewilderment.
Chu Jinjin earnestly sought his opinion: "Should I go see the Emperor?"
Wang Feng waved his hand: "No need, do as Miss Chu says."
He trusts Chu Jinjin.
Wang Guangchen is getting ready to go on stage.
After two consecutive defeats, with only a few people remaining, his only hope lay with Chu Jinjin.
"Wait a minute. When you make your move, watch out for his nails and teeth. Be careful not to break his wounds." With the nation in peril, Chu Jinjin temporarily put aside her personal grudges and solemnly instructed, "This person probably has a deadly virus in his body."
Wang Guangchen had previously wanted to seek Chu Jinjin's opinion.
He noticed it too.
The Northern Desert soldiers weren't actually that strong. If it were a normal sparring match, he was confident he could take on several of them, but what was strange was their reaction.
For example, if you are punched in the eye, you should normally cover your eye and temporarily lose your fighting ability.
The soldiers in the northern desert did not have the reaction that a normal person should have. They were even more terrifying than Li Dahua. They did not feel pain and were like self-aware mechanical beings.
Wang Guangchen knew what to do.
He immediately delivered a simple and brutal straight punch to the opponent's eye.
Chu Jinjin nodded secretly as she read it.
It should be stable now.
Wang Guangchen is strong and fast, making him very suitable for fighting zombies.
The Northern Desert soldiers had no chance to escape; they only had time to turn their heads slightly.
With a muffled thud, the Northern Desert soldier's face was covered in blood. Without any reaction, he threw a punch at Wang Guangchen as well.
Just as his arm was halfway out, Wang Guangchen twisted it behind his back with a slight force, producing a teeth-grinding crunching sound.
My arm is ruined.
Mu Wei's expression changed slightly. Suddenly, he covered his mouth and let out a strange howl. Then, a chilling scene unfolded. The Northern Desert soldiers, who had already lost most of their fighting strength, went berserk and opened their arms to hug Wang Guangchen.
Wang Guangchen landed several punches and kicks in succession, none of which missed, but the Northern Desert soldiers were completely unaware. If you looked closely, their eyes had a strange pale red color.
Only a few people, including Chu Jinjin, noticed the real change.
The strength and speed of the Northern Desert soldiers increased dramatically at the same time, and they surpassed Wang Guangchen in a short period of time.
Chu Jinjin: "......"
Berserk mode?
There is indeed a theory that zombies can go berserk, but the reason for this has never been clearly explained. It is only known that it is influenced by the environment, such as biological tides caused by a full moon.
Wang Guangchen retreated repeatedly.
During sparring, at most minor injuries are allowed; killing is prohibited, and weapons are not permitted.
Chu Jinjin stood up and shouted, "We have lost. General Wang, step down."
This is an unfair contest.
If Wang Guangchen had weapons and was allowed to kill, he would have gotten hard long ago. But now, the half-human, half-zombie soldiers of the Northern Desert are like they've mastered the Iron Shirt and Golden Bell, and they're not afraid of being hit at all.
"The battle is clearly not over yet, so why are you admitting defeat?" Mu Wei laughed heartily. "Your Majesty, why don't we stop here?"
Xiao Huai's face was gloomy.
He was publicly humiliated and hesitated to speak.
But that's just how it is.
The remaining experts could not bear such a humiliation and wanted to attack, but were stopped by Chu Jinjin.
"Prince Mu, how about we make a bet?" Chu Jinjin already had a plan. She said calmly, "Let your soldiers all come at me, but on one condition: life or death is irrelevant."
The crowd erupted in commotion.
Yuan Tianyou was also there, and stood up before anyone else could speak: "No, the Northern Desert delegation is a guest from afar, how can we engage in a life-or-death battle?"
Regardless of his past actions, he chose Zhanqin at this moment.
If anything were to happen to Chu Jinjin, he wouldn't be able to explain it to her.
“Since Miss Chu has spoken, how can I disagree? How about this, Miss Chu can go all out. If they die, then it is their fate.” Mu Wei stood up and glanced at the delegation. “You must remember, under no circumstances shall you harm Chu Jinjin in the slightest.”
If it were someone else, they would probably think this was an insult.
I can do whatever I want as long as the other party doesn't hurt me, but this is Chu Jinjin, so why not take advantage of the situation?
Chu Jinjin nodded quickly: "Thank you very much, Prince Mu."
Xiao Huai beckoned her over and said in a low voice, "Miss Chu, are you sure you can handle this? If not, then forget it."
He had great confidence in Chu Jinjin, but after a series of defeats, and also because he knew a bit of martial arts, he noticed the strange behavior of the Northern Desert soldiers.
Chu Jinjin smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, my greatest fear is death."
For some reason, Mu Wei did not do as Chu Jinjin said. The soldier who seemed to have gone berserk was dismissed and replaced by a new one.
Chu Jinjin walked to the center of the arena and stretched her wrists: "Prince Mu, let your soldiers come at me all at once."
Mu frowned: "Are you sure?"
“Even Prince Mu said not to hurt me, so what do I have to worry about?” Chu Jinjin slowly pulled out the gold hairpin from her hair and said with a smile, “Then how about this, I’ll make another request: how about using this gold hairpin as a weapon?”
The delegation was not just Mu Wei alone. The minister in charge of the specific matters sneered: "What a big mouth, Your Highness. Since that's the case, then let's satisfy this Miss Chu. However, we must add a condition."
Before Chu Jinjin could answer, he said with a deep gaze, "Miss Chu, do your best. The game ends when Miss Chu is unable to move. If you lose, Miss Chu, you should marry our Prince. Hahaha, when we met at the tavern yesterday, our Prince fell in love with Miss Chu at first sight."
The expressions of Chu Jinjin's group immediately changed.
This bet is absolutely unacceptable.
If Bei Mo really joins forces with the Northern Army, Chu Jinjin and Li Dahua are two trump cards, but they didn't expect to be waiting for them here.
Chu Jinjin had already noticed the look in Mu Wei's eyes, but she couldn't be sure if it was because of her or the impending war.
But whichever one it is, they'll make their move sooner or later.
Chu Jinjin narrowed her eyes: "Okay."
Wang Guangchen came to deliver a message, saying in a low voice, "Chu Jinjin, the Emperor's intention is that we don't need to agree. We should find out what's going on with the Northern Desert soldiers before making any further plans."
He had just fought a battle and knew Chu Jinjin's strength. One person might be able to win, but against so many Northern Desert soldiers who were not afraid of pain, even if they risked their lives, there was no chance of victory.
