We settled them all in the castle area and asked them to pack up and live here recently. Unconsciously, this entire castle has become a sanatorium in our minds. This is enough to surprise us. First, I was left in the basement to treat "schizophrenia", and then everyone was isolated and recuperated here. It was a veritable hospital setting.

Yunwen was carried here by Lingshang who transformed into a fox. As for Su Yuexi and I, we flew here by ourselves using the floating witchcraft. After helping Yunwen to the middle room on the second floor, Su Yuexi was in a hurry to go to Bauhinia Cave to look up relevant books, while Lingshang stayed to take care of Yunwen and also stayed in the house for the time being in isolation. I was also going to pick up Bailu to prevent her from infecting other Kunks.

However, before we left, we sat around the dining table on the first floor and discussed our next arrangements.

"Zhou Lang, now we are all poisoned, and we don't know how to cure the poison. You always know how to deal with crises. Why don't you tell us how we should solve the dilemma next? Now we can only rely on you." Ling Shang said.

"My arrangements are as follows. First, we need to control the source of infection. So everyone should stay in this place as much as possible recently and don't touch other living things. Then, Lingshang, while the toxicity is not too strong, try to use treasures such as the Yinxi Pot and the Zhenming Umbrella to see if you can adjust it. Yuexi, you should check the information to see if there is any solution. I have to find a way to go back to Longcheng first, find Sanfu, go to the mountain village, pick up Song Bailu, and then let her try to condense the antidote using the herbal preparation method. If it doesn't work, I can only beg for mercy from the people in the Black Mountain Cave and ask for the antidote for you." I said.

"This is the best way at the moment. I will send you to Longcheng later. After that, I will go back to Zijing Cave to ask my adoptive father, and then find some books and we will discuss them together. Since Brother Zhou Bo can overcome the disease, we can certainly do it too." Su Yuexi said.

"Yes, don't be too negative. We have gone through all kinds of difficulties. We have experienced all kinds of monsters and ghosts, and we have survived, haven't we? So relax, everything will pass." I said.

"Zhou Lang, how come you're okay?" Ling Shang asked.

"I think it is related to the magic stone in my body. Speaking of this, I forgot that I should tell you in detail what happened to me in West Island." I said.

After that, I told them about what I saw and heard in West Island, mainly about Mr. Lan and the masked man, and the information Song Bailu told me, such as the Demon-Subduing Stone and the pirate ship that appeared on the sea. Those people with bad intentions all came from there, and I guessed that the ratmen also had dealings with them, and other such information. I told them all and stated all my guesses.

The two girls listened and asked some questions. For example, when I said that the so-called captain was most likely a member of Su Yuexi's "Exorcist Division", she asked about some details and made some possible assumptions. She said that there was a most timid member at the time, named Cheng Feng. It was said that on the day of the butcher roundup, he was so scared that he peed his pants on the spot, and seemed to be mentally ill afterwards.

There was also a rumor among the members that Cheng Feng had really gone crazy.

Based on this inference, he is most likely the one who escaped from the island by boat. However, she did not expect that after so many years, he would come back again and become a villain, a sea plunderer, which really surprised her.

I also mentioned the masked man's attack method and so on. Lingshang also asked some other questions and deduced other details. She said that it was impossible for the poisoned person to control the pathogen and achieve changes in some parts of the body. This was obviously inconsistent with the development of the disease. Lingshang said that she was very impressed by the source of the poison. Therefore, unless there is some way to suppress it, it is almost a paradox to achieve the ability to control the pathogen.

Finally, we are puzzled as to the two people who had their heads chopped off but suddenly disappeared. It was so strange and incredible. If they were taken away by wild beasts, there would definitely be traces of blood, but there were no traces. Moreover, the wild beast could not have dragged them too far. A wild beast usually feeds around its territory. If it is too far, doesn't it mean that its territory is too large?

There is no such possibility in West Island, which is full of strange creatures. Even the top predators, those earth monsters, only occupy a jungle area. So since I looked around and there was no sign, and there was no flying equipment, it means that Lao Qi and Mr. Lan were not taken away at all, and they are not dead.

This was also confirmed by Su Yuexi's words. She said that when she met Cheng Feng, this guy was obsessed with using herbs and poisonous insects to achieve some kind of physical immortality. This might be difficult to achieve in other places. Even Qin Shihuang, Emperor Wu of Han, and Emperor Jiajing could not achieve immortality despite trying every possible way. However, on this island, due to the overlap of dreams and reality, everything became possible.

Thus, the fellow named Cheng Feng really found the formula, and relying on experiments, he could make himself immortal. By keeping his body cells immortal, he could live longer and longer. However, Ting Su Yuexi said that Cheng Feng was not good at socializing, and he would hide when he met anyone, and he had a deep inferiority complex. This was because the formula for immortality was not friendly to the body, and it was poisonous, not to mention that it was made with herbs and poisonous insects.

Therefore, the final result is that he is ugly and always needs to wear a strange mask.

I remember that when he asked his subordinate, Mr. Lan, to go to Song Bailu as a lobbyist, he praised himself for being handsome and elegant. It seems that it was all nonsense. Only when people lack something, they will hope to be recognized in this aspect. This is a kind of psychological inertia. Now I finally understand it.

The conclusion of all this is that the man called Cheng Feng is good at preparing various medicines. The spread of this plague is probably due to some of his achievements. In addition, he also mastered some method that allows people to control this virus, which is why there is a strange appearance like the masked man and the fingers attack like worms.

As for being able to escape alive after being beheaded, it is easy to imagine that this mentally deformed alchemy fanatic must have used some formula to make his subordinates "unkillable" and survive in the world. Otherwise, a pirate ship would have been fine for hundreds of years. Isn't this more amazing than Tristan Buck's Black Ghost? This must be his ability. He used his own advantages to create a group of humanoid monster slaves for him to dominate the sea.

This is the pirate ship with the axe and skull flag. This is where their power lies at sea.

I don’t know how many people died because of the spread of the plague. Thinking of this, I can’t help but feel a chill in my heart.

After each of us finished analyzing the information, we were silent for a long time, but now there are obviously more important things for us to do. After all, someone has come back with the intention of ruling and destroying the entire island. Before the plague spreads, we have to hurry up and do what we can. Now is definitely not the time to chat.

So according to my instructions, Lingshang went upstairs to study the way to detoxify the treasure, and Su Yuexi went out of the house with me. After she took me to Longcheng, she was about to go back to Zijing Cave. Before leaving, I gave her some instructions, such as going back early to take care of Yunwen. After she nodded obediently and left, I rode Sanfu to the mountain village again.

After returning to the village, I was about to tell Song Bailu about the virus, but I saw that she was already lying limp on the sofa. She was the same as when I left. I had no choice but to quickly pick her up. In order to prevent her from being infected with the dog days, I used the Hidden Evil Knife to cut a lot of "Lingbu" and wrapped her hands, feet, neck, and all other parts that might be exposed to isolate her.

Then they carried her onto the horse's back. She was infected starting from the back of her neck, no wonder she couldn't move all of a sudden. I heard that by the time she could move again, it would probably be because the virus had already invaded her body and started to mutate into a monster like a mud paddle. By then, I think people who are sick won't be able to move.

She sat in the front and I sat in the back. I hugged her tightly and we took off in a sprint and headed towards the castle area.

Now, what lingers in my mind is, damn, that guy just made one move, but we are already in such a mess, what will Cheng Feng do next?
