“You're crazy! Why are you biting people!”
“Hold him down!”
“There's one here too! Hold him! Don't let him bite you!”
The soldiers on the edge of the military camp were in turmoil.
Wang Jixuan's expression changed slightly, and he rushed out in a flash, holding down a soldier whose eyes were about to be bloodshot, and pointed his finger at the soldier's brow.
He looked up at various places. About fifty or sixty soldiers in different areas were showing signs of frenzy at this moment. Their eyes were bloodshot, their souls were restless, their heart rates were rising rapidly, and they were attacking others by biting and pouncing.
What kind of vicious術法 is this?
Was the previous poisoning to cooperate with the current spiritual energy stimulation?
Wang Jixuan was wearing the X-Armor at the moment, and his hands were also controlled by the metal structure, making it inconvenient to use sword fingers, but this did not prevent him from investigating the condition of this soldier.
No, it's Gu!
A very tiny spirit Gu is rapidly multiplying in this person's body!
Wang Jixuan's expression changed slightly, and he shouted, "Get out of the way!"
Almost as soon as he finished speaking.
Bang!
The soldier suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. His neck, heart, and forehead exploded at the same time, and scalding blood splattered outwards!
Most of the blood was blocked by the shield triggered by the X-Armor itself, and this blood emitted a little pink smoke…
Wang Jixuan quickly formed hand seals.
The mysteries of heaven and earth, disperse the filth! Cleanse!
He pointed his fingertips forward, and a faint golden light rippled out, and the pink mist was directly purified, allowing dozens of nearby soldiers to be preserved.
But shouts rose one after another.
These dozens of soldiers who suddenly went berserk had already spread the spirit Gu a second time when their bodies exploded.
Fortunately, this was on the surface, and the spread of the pink smoke was affected by the wind.
Then, what about inside the fortress?
Wang Jixuan could vaguely hear shouts.
“A team of soldiers on the third floor suddenly went crazy!”
“Commander! Riots have occurred in many areas of the central city!”
“The lower city is rioting! The lower city is rioting! These people are crazy!”
“Their bodies exploded! The blood will release poisonous gas! Get away! Everyone get away!”
“Commander, there have been a large number of casualties in the lower and upper cities!”
“Damn it, Thirteenth Institute!”
Wang Jixuan lowered his head, staring at the terrifying corpse in front of him, his spiritual sense extended towards the ground, and he did not speak for a long time.
The tragic situation everywhere was unbearable to witness, and his Dao heart was slightly sinking.
Living beings were in fear;
People were shouting helplessly;
Everywhere, there were figures who were not wearing protective gear but took the initiative to rush into the pink smoke, trying to save their frenzied counterparts.
Ling Tong and the other half-human mechs had received orders to immediately evacuate from the camp, as their human parts were also very vulnerable to this 'poison gas'.
Ling Tong did not carry out this order, but quickly rushed to the side of the silver-white mech and asked softly, "Have you found anything?"
“This is a low-level Gu poison,” Wang Jixuan replied simply.
His master was poisoned by a demonic cultivator's Gu, and then taken advantage of by a demon, and died.
“What is Gu poison?”
“It can be understood as a kind of parasite.
“They are using Gu poison on Fortress 82, and those pink mists are…”
Wang Jixuan's voice gradually turned cold:
“Get Wu Man and Zheng Shiduo over here as quickly as possible. I can only trust these two among the spirit energy users.”
Ling Tong urged, “Okay, then you evacuate from here first.”
“I don't need to. Have these soldiers form teams of thirty and come to me in turns… It's best to get me a workshop, put up screens, and have all the soldiers wear blindfolds, and say that there is a new instrument that can purify this poisonous gas.
“I can get rid of this Gu.
“Without spiritual energy stimulation, the Gu worms will not act up. As long as there is that kind of spiritual energy stimulation, the Gu worms will replicate infinitely, just like just now.
“Also, have Commander Dongfang send three hundred crystal cores over here. Bring all three of the largest crystal cores over here. Be quick.”
Wang Jixuan added:
“Also, help me tell the Commander-in-Chief… If you can't solve this Mo Feng and her subordinates, then I will do it myself, but Wu Man and Zheng Shiduo will be designated as my team members from now on, and don't transfer them from the front line again.”
“Understood.”
Ling Tong did not delay and immediately began to coordinate the people and resources that Wang Jixuan wanted.
She keenly noticed the anger hidden beneath Wang Jixuan's calm tone, and this anger seemed to have multiple causes.
Wang Jixuan looked in the direction from which the spiritual energy had just been transmitted.
He could vaguely sense that the person who cast the Gu had already left quickly. The other party was at least dozens of kilometers away from here, making it very difficult to chase.
Wang Jixuan looked at the soldier's corpse and slowly squatted down, stroking the other party's wide eyes.
…
In just half an hour, the large container Wang Jixuan wanted had been assembled.
The crystal cores and helpers were on their way.
Daoist Wang sat behind a few wooden boards, took off the helmet and hand armor of the X-Armor, and a team of soldiers wearing blindfolds and earplugs entered the container, feeling the rope to stand firm.
Wang Jixuan waved his sword fingers, and five emerald green talismans flew out, forming a pentagram array above the soldiers' heads.
He chanted incantations, using both methods at the same time, and pieces of golden light sprinkled down, and the talisman array slowly moved above the soldiers' heads.
In just three minutes, the low-level Gu worms in these soldiers' bodies had been purified.
Very crude blood Gu.
The soldiers each lowered their heads and coughed, coughing up the tiny corpses of the Gu worms.
Ding-ling!
Wang Jixuan shook the bell next to him, and Red Snake, wearing a hazmat suit, opened the container door, took the soldiers away, and let them rest.
Repeating this three times, Wang Jixuan began to meditate and rest, keeping the aura in his body full.
He had to be ready for battle at any time.
After treating almost three hundred people, Ling Tong hurried back, bringing a new video from Mo Feng.
The familiar cockpit, the familiar mask, still in that yoga pants and sports vest style.
Mo Feng spoke affectedly and calmly:
“Now, the lives of 500,000 people in Fortress 82 are the bargaining chips in our hands. If you don't want to see a fortress die cleanly in a short time, then meet our conditions.
“Next, we will kill five thousand fortress residents every day. Of course, the number may fluctuate slightly. My team members' abilities are not that sensitive, and it still needs to be amplified by me.
“The following five conditions, for each one you meet, the number of people we kill each time will be reduced by one thousand.
“Note that it is reducing the number of people killed by one thousand each day. That is, if you meet one condition, I will kill four thousand tomorrow. If you meet two conditions, I will kill three thousand tomorrow, and so on.
“Until you meet all the conditions, I will let go of this poor fortress.
“If you massively migrate the population, then I will detonate everyone.
“This is what I said before, the killing game.
“This is a counterattack against your persecution of spirit energy users. Dark Dawn claims responsibility for this matter.
“I emphasize again that I was only deliberately acting stupid before to make you relax your vigilance. I am not a big-breasted, brainless beauty. My beauty and wisdom coexist, muah.”
The last few seconds of the video were a black background with five lines of text on it.
① Hand over the military special operations team members who killed the spirit energy users in Fortress 82.
② Hand over the teenager who was taken away by the military for violating regulations.
③ The military of the D5 war zone issues an apology letter to the major war zones, admitting its crimes of persecuting spirit energy users, and acknowledging the political status of spirit energy users as protectors of the human world.
④ Hand over the military spirit energy user codenamed Black Storm and promise not to conduct spirit energy experiments again.
⑤ Unconditionally release the three outstanding spirit energy users Wei Linzheng, Feng Bangjie, and Zong Xiong.
These five conditions really made Daoist Wang silent.
Three of them were related to him, and two of them were even repeated.
The funniest thing was that Qin Qin and Hama Nagi were not included in the conditions at all.
They were even too lazy to write these two names…
Ling Tong changed into that blue and white tight-fitting combat suit, wearing a transparent helmet, her dark hair scattered behind her, leaning against the iron wall of the container, and folded her arms.
She said softly:
“The number of casualties from the first wave of attacks has been tallied, and it is about the same as what Mo Feng said, five thousand three hundred people.
“Three thousand in the lower city, over a thousand in the upper city, and the least in the central city.
“Those Gu worms you mentioned, which the military identified as some kind of spirit energy bacteria, have spread to 55% of the area inside the fortress, and about 230,000 people are facing the threat of death.”
Wang Jixuan pointed to the chair next to him: “Come over and rest for a while. It's been a long time since I massaged your head.”
“Okay, can I take off my helmet?”
“Of course you can. I'm here, so there's no need to be afraid of that kind of low-level Gu worms.”
Ling Tong took off her helmet, her long hair scattered, and sat somewhat restrainedly on the folding chair.
Wang Jixuan stood behind her, his fingers falling on her shoulders, and strands of mana permeated her smooth skin, helping her relieve the soreness and discomfort at the connection between the machine and her flesh.
Peony, who was guarding outside, poked her head in and her eyes lit up with little stars.
The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ is ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ release!
Wang Jixuan casually asked, “Doesn't the military have any countermeasures?”
“Yes.”
Ling Tong said:
“The Commander-in-Chief just issued an order to arrest twenty-five low-level spirit energy users stationed in the fortress, out of a total of one thousand. All of them had spirit energy intrusion incidents to varying degrees, or fortresses with similar signs.
“They are carrying out reciprocal countermeasures at a ratio of one to one hundred. They killed five thousand three hundred ordinary humans, and we will kill fifty-three low-level spirit energy users.
“Fifty-three low-level spirit energy users with criminal records have already been publicly executed.
“The incident that Fortress 82 is suffering is being broadcast live to all war zones around the world.”
"Tit for tat, the conflict has indeed begun to escalate."
Wang Jixuan sighed, pressing his finger against Ling Tong's forehead, and continued to mutter:
"These ordinary people are innocent. I really didn't expect Mo Feng and his gang to be so brutal."
Ling Tong whispered, "They seem to be a squad from the Destruction Group."
"She's really ranked 36th among S-class spirit users?"
"That's among the S-class spirit users we know. It's really hard to estimate how much power the Spirit Energy Capital is hiding."
Ling Tong leaned back comfortably.
Wang Jixuan subconsciously dodged backward, then immediately moved forward again, using his flat abs as a backrest for her.
Ling Tong continued, "There are now eight semi-humanoid mechs searching for Mo Feng's location. They have some abilities we don't know about, probably the abilities of some special spirit users. We can't find their traces at all."
"Remember to cremate the bodies of the dead."
"Yes, they're already being cremated."
Ling Tong agreed and closed her eyes, enjoying the moment.
Wang Jixuan didn't ask much, quietly pondering while giving her a small-scale enhancement.
Because Daoist Priest still had to continue saving people, Ling Tong didn't dare to delay him for too long.
Wang Jixuan had been busy from early morning until after nine in the morning. Most of the soldiers' Gu worms had been cleared. Wu Man and Zheng Shiduo arrived together.
Somewhat tired, Wang Jixuan perked up and had Wu Man enter the container alone.
After not seeing him for a while, the boy could now stand and walk for short periods. His originally malnourished face now had a bit of rosy luster.
"Sir, I already know about the tragedy that happened here. Is there anything I can do to help everyone?"
Wang Jixuan transmitted his voice with his spiritual sense: "Next, I'll need you to work hard. I'll impart a mantra to you, but before that, I want you to make an oath."
"Make an oath?"
Wu Man blinked:
"Sir, as an atheist, my respect and reverence for you are more binding than any oath."
Wang Jixuan's somewhat depressed mood couldn't help but ease a lot.
He patted Wu Man's head and scolded with a smile, "Not bad, you've learned to flatter in just a few days."
"This isn't flattery," Wu Man emphasized somewhat helplessly, "I'm very serious."
"Alright."
Wang Jixuan said:
"I regard you as a junior.
"If my secret methods were to spread, it would greatly increase the strength of the spirit user community, and this world would be finished.
"So, I must explain to you that if you later leak this mantra, then I will personally take action to eliminate you from the sect."
Wu Man nodded seriously, his eyes full of determination.
"This is actually just a purification mantra, not a very important secret method. It just involves the use of internal energy."
Wang Jixuan transmitted his voice:
"I'll read it to you. Remember the syllables.
"Later, you can tell everyone that this is your newly awakened ability."
"Received!"
A series of syllables appeared in Wu Man's mind.
These syllables were very unfamiliar, different from the language of this world, and reading them together didn't make any sense.
But when Wu Man whispered to himself, the mottled energy in his body suddenly became active, and a faint cyan light bloomed on his forehead, his eyes also dyed with cyan light.
When Wu Man finished reciting the last syllable, a beam of cyan light bloomed on his forehead, rushing in all directions.
Wang Jixuan was also stunned.
This effect was much better than he had expected.
Wu Man's energy only consumed about one percent. He only needed to rest for a while, take a nap for a few minutes, and the spirit energy in the air could slowly replenish his consumption.
— Sleeping is the means by which most spirit users recover their strength after battle.
"Go, young man, go purify the fortress. This mantra is the nemesis of those Gu worms."
Wang Jixuan raised his hand and pressed it on Wu Man's shoulder:
"Be sure to avoid people. There may still be spies from Thirteenth Institute here. Apart from you and me, no third person can know.
"No matter what the situation in the future, this mantra cannot be spread.
"It's not important in itself, but the meaning it symbolizes will cause us great trouble."
"Yes!"
Wu Man nodded vigorously, the reverence in his eyes undisguised:
"I will guard it with my life, sir."
"Remember, take a half-hour nap after chanting the spell three times."
"Okay."
Daoist Wang put on the helmet of his battle armor and turned to leave the container.
It was enough to leave the task of saving people to Wu Man.
He had more important things to do.
Not far ahead, plumes of black smoke could be seen rising from the desert, the black smoke from burning corpses.
The fortress was in a panic.
The weeping of vengeful spirits still echoed in his ears.
Wang Jixuan's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Commander," Peony asked considerately, "Your emotions are showing obvious fluctuations. Would you like me to play some music to soothe you?"
"No, now is not the time to listen to music."
Wang Jixuan called out:
"Old Zheng!"
Zheng Shiduo, who was squatting not far away smoking, was so frightened that he shivered and quickly jumped up and shouted, "Coming, bro!"
"I know someone who can definitely find Mo Feng. Old Zheng, Peony, and Ling Tong, the three of you come with me. We're going to kill this S-class Mo Feng."
Zheng Shiduo's small eyes widened.
"Ah? Me?"
