I am a living immortal.

"Rat?" Xiao Yang, the old man from the Toad Tribe, turned his head and looked at the two of them and asked.

"It's just a nickname. You've been here for so long, you don't think this plague is naturally occurring, right?" Su Mu asked back.

Xiao Yang was silent for a moment, then waved his hand and had the rest of the people taken away, leaving only Su Mu and Li Peng.

"It seems that your purpose for coming here is not simple. Are you here for the members of the Eclipse Society?"

Xiao Yang asked simply and clearly without beating around the bush.

"Yes." Su Mu nodded.

"Haha, the people from the Eclipse Society have made quite a lot of enemies. Since you two are so straightforward, I'll be frank: you can't touch the people from the Eclipse Society yet."

"You may not know this when you come here, but this plague is much more serious than you imagined, and so far, we don't have a good solution."

"This plague is a little different. Perhaps there's some kind of sorcery involved. Those infected won't experience any symptoms for the first two or three days, but after that, their necks will itch intensely. After a while, a tumor will develop on their necks. At this point, the person's mind becomes increasingly hazy. By the time the tumor has fully formed, their consciousness has completely dissipated."

"The brain dies, and the extra growth takes over. The people of the Erosion Society call this tumor a parasitic skull."

"Parasitism? That's quite appropriate." Li Peng nodded.

"We need to save the ninety thousand people of Qingshangang. These members of the Eclipse Society cannot die, at least not now. This will alert the enemy. Their purpose in creating this plague is still unclear."

"Ninety thousand?" Li Peng was a little confused.

He had heard of Qingshangang. Although it was not a big county, its population had doubled.

Xiao Yang explained, "The Qingshangang County Chronicles record a total of 167,321 people, but 70,000 of them have developed a double skull and are incurable. Furthermore, this number is constantly increasing. The Toad Tribe has tried their best, but so far they can only alleviate the situation, not completely cure it. The time is too short, too few people have arrived, and the plague is too strange."

"You'll know once you see it."

As he spoke, Xiao Yang led his men to Daqiao Village, where the plague was most severe.

Halfway through the journey, you can see teams of Black Armor Guards pouring oil and lighting fires.

"Out of 70,000 people, 1,369 have already shown symptoms of frenzy and have been killed and burned by the Black Armor Guards."

"This is one of the reasons why we dare not act rashly. Just over 1,300 plague zombies have already exhausted the Xuanjia Guards. If more than 70,000 people go berserk at the same time, these are not ordinary villagers, but more than 70,000 tireless and powerful plague zombies. The more than 3,000 Xuanjia Guards stationed outside Qingshangang will not be able to stop them. Even if we increase the number tenfold, we can't guarantee that we can stop this army of plague zombies."

"If I hadn't stopped it."

"Around here, Cheng Wei, Lan Zhi, and Du Panjin will bear the brunt of the disaster. If one of them isn't handled properly, it could be a natural disaster that spreads across several states."

"With the infectiousness and rapid maneuverability, you can understand how much pressure we are under," Xiao Yang said.

Li Peng compared the number of plague corpses killed that day to more than 70,000... It makes my scalp tingle just thinking about it.

"this…………"

"Of course, there's no need to despair. If we can't control it, the Eclipse Society will certainly not be able to control it either. They dare not and will not do so. Even rebels don't want a country full of zombies," Xiao Yang comforted.

Is this really the case?

Su Mu, who knew the nature of the old conservative behind the Eclipse Society, and Li Peng, who knew some of the truth, were not comforted by Xiao Yang's words. They never thought that things would be so serious.

"This incident happened suddenly, and support from the five departments is on the way."

In fact, Xiao Yang didn't say a word. If he wasn't afraid of disturbing the plague corpses, there might be no survivors in the entire Qingshangang. Not to mention Qingshangang alone, even if all the people in the three surrounding counties were killed, the Xuanjia Guards would dare to take action as long as the order was given from above.

…………

On the other side, in the Imperial Observatory.

The supervisor and his team are already extremely worried.

Compared to the emperor's Ganoderma lucidum, the turbulent events affecting the country were more important. The Imperial Observatory no longer cared about the monsters who were trying to steal the Ganoderma lucidum, and immediately turned around and rushed towards Qingshangang.

At this time, the Eleventh Prince was not there at this critical moment, which made everyone uneasy. The Eleventh Prince had never said that there would be such a big disaster. No, it seemed that he had said that the Eclipse Society... He just mentioned it casually at the time, and that we should pay attention to their movements.

Then the Ganoderma lucidum was stolen, and they looked away and forgot about it.

But once they moved away, the Eclipse Society launched a big attack.

Now everyone is regretting it so much that they can only try to remedy the situation. Hopefully, this time the plague will not spread.

Everyone looked at the stars and divined, and there was good news. This group of people were able to reach this position, so they must have some strength. At least the stars showed that this time they would not endanger the foundation of the country.

Based on this, we can infer that even if it cannot be controlled, it will at most be a matter of one continent.

As for the eleventh prince who was closely watched by the Imperial Observatory.

At this moment, they were lost in the endless snow forest. There were cedars all over the mountains along the road. Looking ahead, they could see mountains covered with snow. There was thick snow under their feet. Several strong men were stepping on the snow, and the young man in red was as confused as the vast snow.

"Isn't this a bit outrageous? I remember seeing him at the southern border. Where did you bring him to now..."

Golden Turtle said cautiously: "Ah? Really? You didn't tell me. If you had told me earlier, I would have pointed in that direction..."

"What do you mean, are you pointing blindly??"

"It's not blind pointing, it's just intuition, intuition. As someone who can only possess such an innate magical power, my intuition should be very accurate."

"So, you didn't use your innate magical power?"

"It's better to be cautious. Don't you want to give him a surprise? Otherwise, if he notices you and I are useless."

“Hey…Hey…what are you going to do…”

The boy cursed and then threw the golden turtle out with force.

He was truly blind: "Turn around and head towards the southern border."

At this moment, the boy's situation was like a driver who was used to it. Even if the navigation was wrong, even if he realized something was wrong, he still had his reasons for pointing out this road, so he went in the opposite direction.

The four strong men turned around immediately.

The golden beetle, bouncing back and forth among the trees, was disoriented. Seeing that his old master had abandoned him, he immediately ran on the snow with his short and stubby limbs to catch up, shouting as he ran: "Wait for me... wait for me..."
