Xu Yuehuai smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, we will definitely come back."
They left Beixuan Kingdom and embarked on their journey back to Dazhou Kingdom. Along the way, they admired the beautiful scenery and discussed their plans for the future.
"Where are we going next?" Qi Guze asked.
Xu Yuehuai thought for a moment and replied, "We still have a lot to do. There is still much darkness and evil in this world that we need to expose and eradicate. We will continue to move forward and fight to the end for justice and peace."
Qi Guze nodded, his eyes shining with determination: "No matter how many difficulties and challenges lie ahead, we will face them together and overcome them together."
They walked side by side, their hearts filled with anticipation and confidence for the future. They knew that as long as they upheld their beliefs in justice and peace, they would surely overcome all darkness and evil.
The setting sun cast its golden rays upon them, draping their figures in a halo. Their steps were firm and powerful; their faith and courage will forever remain in people's hearts.
They are heroes of the Northern Xuan Kingdom, the pride of the Great Zhou Kingdom, and guardians of justice in this world. Their stories will be forever told, inspiring more people to pursue justice and peace.
However, they unexpectedly encountered a group of people suffering from a strange disease. These people had distorted faces, eerie bluish-purple skin, and eyes filled with fear and despair.
They brandished their weapons and charged madly towards Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze without regard for their own safety.
Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze exchanged a glance, both showing surprise. They had never seen such a bizarre illness, nor had they ever encountered such a frenzied enemy. But at this moment, they knew they had to remain calm and not let fear and panic take over.
"Ah Huai, watch out!" Qi Guze shouted, dodging an attack from a patient in a flash. He then struck the patient with his sword, knocking him to the ground.
Xu Yuehuai reacted swiftly, her movements agile as she weaved among the patients, each sword strike precise and powerful. However, the patients seemed oblivious to the pain, continuing their frenzied attacks even when wounded.
"What's wrong with these people?" Xu Yuehuai asked breathlessly, his forehead covered in sweat.
Qi Guze shook his head: "I don't know, but we must find a solution as soon as possible. Otherwise, we're afraid they'll exhaust us."
They continued their battle with the patients, but gradually, they began to feel overwhelmed. The number of patients seemed to be increasing, and their attacks were becoming more ferocious. Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze started to feel exhausted, and their movements became sluggish.
Just then, a patient suddenly rushed in front of Xu Yuehuai, his weapon aimed directly at her vitals.
Xu Yuehuai was startled, but her reaction was already a beat too slow. Just when she thought she was about to be hit, Qi Guze suddenly appeared beside her and knocked the patient back with a single sword strike.
"Ah Yue, are you alright?" Qi Guze asked with concern. Xu Yuehuai shook her head: "I'm fine, but if this continues, I'm afraid we won't be able to resist any longer."
They stepped aside and began to discuss countermeasures. Xu Yuehuai carefully observed the patients' symptoms, trying to find the cause. Qi Guze, on the other hand, vigilantly observed their surroundings to prevent more patients from rushing in.
“I think these people’s symptoms are somewhat like poisoning,” Xu Yuehuai suddenly said. “Their skin is bluish-purple, and their eyes are filled with fear and despair, which is very likely caused by some kind of toxin.”
Qi Guze nodded: "You're right. But the problem is, how do we find the antidote?"
Xu Yuehuai pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps we can find clues from them. These patients must have come from somewhere, and we can follow their trail to find the source."
They decided to split up; Xu Yuehuai was responsible for tracking the patient, while Qi Guze was responsible for protecting her. They cautiously followed behind the patient, afraid of being discovered. After some tracking, they finally found the patient's origin—an abandoned village.
The village appeared to have been abandoned for a long time; the houses were dilapidated, and a foul odor permeated the air. Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze cautiously entered the village, where they found patients everywhere. Some were groaning in pain, while others were frantically attacking everything around them. The entire village seemed like a living hell.
"What exactly happened here?" Xu Yuehua asked, frowning. Qi Guze shook his head: "I don't know, but we can be sure that it's all related to that mysterious toxin."
They continued deeper into the village, searching for clues. In a dilapidated house, they discovered some strange marks. These marks looked like a special kind of rune, covered with eerie patterns and characters.
"What do these runes mean?" Xu Yuehuai asked curiously. Qi Guze shook his head: "I don't know either, but I'm sure these runes are closely related to that poison."
They decided to continue their investigation, hoping to find more clues about the toxin. However, just as they were about to leave the house, a strange sound suddenly rang out. They immediately looked around warily and saw a group of patients rushing towards them. These patients were more numerous than those they had encountered before, and their attack was much more ferocious.
Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze reacted swiftly, drawing their weapons and engaging the patients in fierce combat. However, the patients seemed even stronger than before, and their attacks left Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze feeling somewhat overwhelmed. After a fierce battle, they finally managed to repel the patients, but by then they were exhausted and covered in wounds.
"We need to find an antidote as soon as possible," Xu Yuehuai said, panting. Qi Guze nodded: "That's right, otherwise we probably won't be able to withstand the attacks of these patients anymore."
They decided to venture deeper into the village to search for clues to the antidote. After some searching, they finally found some strange medicine bottles in a secluded house. These bottles were covered with complex runes and medicine names, and looked very mysterious.
"Could the antidote be in these medicine bottles?" Xu Yuehuai asked excitedly. Qi Guze shook his head: "I'm not sure, but we can try."
They carefully opened the medicine bottle and took out the pills inside. The pills emitted a strange smell that made their noses itch.
“We need to be careful; these pills might be poisonous,” Qi Guze warned. They decided to have one person try the pills first and observe the effects before making a decision. Xu Yuehuai volunteered. She took a deep breath and placed the pill into…
