"Everyone, please stay calm. I'm not yet familiar with your current conditions. So I hope everyone can quiet down and let me conduct a detailed examination on you," Feng Yuqin's gentle voice reached everyone's ears. "Only by identifying the illness can we find a solution, and right now I need complete silence."
As soon as she finished speaking, the whole place fell completely silent.
Everyone from the Tianxia Alliance: "..."
The Gu poison was truly terrifying.
Before, these people had behaved like madmen.
Especially those who were more severely affected by the Gu poison.
During an attack, they would roll on the ground.
Some would scratch their own skin with both hands.
In just a few breaths, one could see streaks of blood, indicating how hard they had scratched.
Each person's symptoms during an attack were different.
Moreover, the attacks occurred approximately once every two hours.
Half an hour before Feng Yuqin arrived, they had just had an attack.
So now these people looked rather disheveled, but since they weren't having an attack, they could stay calm.
Seeing that these people were quite cooperative, Feng Yuqin walked towards the nearest tent.
Inside the tent were people from a small force.
When they saw Feng Yuqin approaching, they were extremely excited.
Generally, those who shared a tent were either family members, friends, or from the same sect.
"Divine Doctor Feng, we..." A middle - aged man standing in front of the tent rubbed his hands excitedly, eager to speak.
Feng Yuqin looked at his scratched face and the exposed skin, knowing that this man should be one of those who felt itchy during an attack and needed to scratch hard to feel better.
"Let's go inside first. I'll take a look at your situation," Feng Yuqin said.
The middle - aged man immediately stepped aside and said respectfully, "Divine Doctor Feng, please..."
After Feng Yuqin went inside, the others watched them eagerly.
It had been a day and a night since their last attack.
At first, the vice - leader had informed the Alchemy Guild and other alchemists to come and take a look.
Then they tried to research an antidote.
But later, they couldn't figure it out, so the vice - leader had to go and find Feng Yuqin.
However, during this period, some people had already had an attack, so they were now physically and mentally exhausted.
"Daddy, these people are so miserable," Xiaolinger said sympathetically after seeing this scene in the space.
"Your mother has already started looking for a solution," Mo Xuanye actually didn't feel much about it.
He only answered like this because his daughter had asked.
If it were someone else, he would either not answer at all or just say, "What does it matter to me?"
"Xiaolinger, don't worry. Mother will definitely find a way," Dabao comforted his younger sister.
Xiaolinger nodded vigorously. "Yes, mother will definitely find a way. I want to be as amazing as mother when I grow up."
"Sister is already amazing," Xiaobao flattered.
Hearing this, Xiaolinger smiled happily.
Although she knew that her second brother was just trying to make her happy, she still felt delighted.
After Feng Yuqin finished examining the people in the first tent, she asked the alchemists from the Tianxia Alliance to record the situation she had observed.
Among the dozen or so people, there were five different symptoms.
It was indeed a mutated Gu poison.
Moreover, it mutated according to the individual's condition.
She noticed that one person's symptoms were relatively mild. From this person's overall physical condition, they had a good constitution and were also the strongest in terms of strength.
She already had a guess in mind.
To prove her guess, she successively examined several more tents.
In total, she had examined about a hundred people, and there were ten types of Gu poison.
From the fiftieth person on, no new types were found.
If her guess was correct, then there were probably only these ten types of Gu poison.
She didn't have time to examine everyone one by one.
"Did you all record everything clearly just now?" Feng Yuqin looked at the few alchemists from the Tianxia Alliance who had been recording and asked.
"Divine Doctor Feng, we recorded everything exactly as you said, without missing a single word."
"Good. For those I haven't examined yet, you can conduct the examination based on these records. If there are new symptoms, record them carefully. I'll examine them in detail later. For those with the same symptoms as the ones I've already examined, just include them in the count of the previously examined people," Feng Yuqin explained the matters to be noted clearly and then asked the Tianxia Alliance to arrange an alchemy room for her.
As soon as she entered the alchemy room, Feng Yuqin immediately set up a barrier.
Then she asked Mo Xuanye to add another one.
As soon as Feng Yuqin entered, Xiaolinger rushed over, chanting, "Mother, mother..."
"Are you really going to take care of this, Qin'er?" Mo Xuanye still didn't want Feng Yuqin to suffer.
His men could investigate this matter.
Anyway, it was Feng Yi and the others who usually did such investigations.
But researching the antidote would make Feng Yuqin suffer.
Comparing the two, Mo Xuanye of course didn't like it.
"I've already taken on this task," Feng Yuqin knew that this man was worried about her. "Moreover, it can help improve my medical skills, so I'm willing to do it."
"If it weren't for this reason, I would never let you do it," Mo Xuanye said.
But every time there was a conflict with Feng Yuqin's opinion, he had never won.
"Also, I always feel that something is off. We had already controlled the situation, and it's impossible for the Gu worms to mutate without any warning. So there must be something more to this," Feng Yuqin frowned slightly as she thought about today's examination. She suspected that someone must have interfered.
"Do you think that someone deliberately caused the brain - eating Gu worms to mutate?" Mo Xuanye was in the space and was well - aware of the situation outside.
"That's right," a trace of doubt flashed in Feng Yuqin's eyes. "However, the Tianxia Alliance blocked the area from the very beginning, and the people inside were under control. During this period, no one entered or left."
"Most people were resting in their respective residences. The only normal event was a weapon - refining competition. But after the results were announced, these people didn't leave, and no one entered from the outside either. Yet, there was a mutation in the Diyan Continent..."
"No one left or entered, so it must be someone inside..." Mo Xuanye said calmly. "Don't worry about this. I'll ask Feng Yi and the others to investigate."
"I was worried about alerting the enemy, so I didn't tell the leader of the Tianxia Alliance. I don't know when they will discover this mutation," Feng Yuqin said, feeling a headache just thinking about these troublesome Gu worms.
"The leader of the Tianxia Alliance and these alchemists know nothing about Gu poison. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been completely helpless when this happened," Mo Xuanye accompanied Feng Yuqin into the alchemy room. "So this time, it might really trouble you, Qin'er..."
Feng Yuqin said helplessly, "There's no other way. After all, if I want to go to the Divine Realm, I have to pass through the Shenyue Continent in the Xuanyu Realm. So before that, I can't let these Gu worms turn the Xuanyu Realm into a living hell."
