I traveled through time and became the Queen of Ancient Dian

Wumeng Tianlong grabbed the villager's wrist and his face changed drastically: "What...what is this?!" The villager's wrist was covered with terrible pus, emitting a disgusting stench.

"Plague! It's really a plague!" Wumeng Tianlong exclaimed and quickly took a few steps back.

Baona's heart sank. This was more serious than she had imagined.

The village was filled with grief.

The air was filled with a strong stench of decay, making it suffocating.

The patient, Dugu, was lying on a worn straw mat, his body covered with festering wounds, dying, and groaning in pain.

There are many patients like him in the village.

"It's over, it's all over..." An old woman collapsed on the ground, crying in despair.

Doctor Changsun was sweating profusely, holding a few herbs in his hand, at a loss as to what to do.

"These herbs... are useless!" He sighed in despair, "I... I can't save them..." Even the usually calm Pharmacist Yuwen frowned and remained silent.

Priest Yuanhong hid in the house, muttering to himself, saying that he wanted to pray to God and drive away the plague.

Although the Da Xi warriors were strong, they were helpless against this invisible enemy and could only maintain order in the village and prevent chaos from spreading.

"No, we can't just sit there and wait for death!" Zhaoyang Ruyue broke the silence, "We must find a solution!" Wumeng Tianlong also nodded: "That's right! After all, we are top students of the 21st century, how can we be scared by such a small difficulty?" Regardless of the danger, the two began to go deep into the village, carefully observing the symptoms of the patients and recording every detail.

Their bravery rekindled a glimmer of hope in the eyes of some villagers who had originally despaired.

"You...you be careful..." Doctor Changsun said tremblingly.

At this moment, Baona suddenly discovered that around the abscesses of some patients, there was a strange blue flower growing.

"What is this?" She picked one and looked at it carefully.

"Wait..." Baona suddenly thought of something and her face changed suddenly. "This kind of flower... I seem to have seen it somewhere..." She raised her head suddenly and looked at the mountains in the distance. A glimmer of surprise flashed in her eyes. "Could it be..."

Baona suddenly remembered that she had seen records of this blue flower in ancient books of the ancient Dian Kingdom!

It is called "Xingxiu Blue" and is said to have magical medicinal value that can cure all kinds of poisons!

Could it be... that this is the key to solving the plague?

Her heart was pounding with excitement, and she couldn't wait to verify her idea.

At the same time, Zhaoyang Ruyue and Wumeng Tianlong went deep into the epidemic area, as if walking on the edge of a knife.

The stench in the air is nauseating; the shocking scene is even more terrifying.

But they did not back down. Instead, they recorded every detail more firmly, trying to find a glimmer of hope to defeat the plague.

The Queen watched the two of them going deeper into danger, her brows furrowed and her eyes filled with worry.

She sewed simple masks and gloves by herself, soaked them in strong liquor to disinfect them, and gave them to them, reminding them: "Be careful and protect yourself!" This care made Zhaoyang Ruyue and Wumeng Tianlong feel warm in their hearts, as if they were injected with infinite strength.

They looked at each other, their eyes full of determination.

However, the rescue work was not smooth sailing.

Priest Yuan Hong, this mysterious guy, actually jumped out to oppose them!

He insisted that the plague was a punishment from God and a warning from the gods to the villagers!

Any attempt to save the patient is a blasphemy against the gods!

He incited the ignorant villagers to resist the rescue work of Zhaoyang Ruyue and others, making the already difficult situation even worse.

"You outsiders, don't interfere with the will of the gods!" Priest Yuan Hong roared at the top of his lungs, "Only sincere prayers can calm the wrath of the gods!" Many villagers were bewitched by him and cast hostile eyes towards Zhaoyang Ruyue and others.

The rescue work has almost come to a standstill.

At this critical moment, the usually taciturn doctor Changsun suddenly stood up... Doctor Changsun, this usually taciturn doctor who seemed like a non-player character (NPC) in the game, suddenly burst out with amazing energy.

He took a step forward, and his momentum was like the return of a king, with his own background music (BGM).

"Priest Yuanhong, are you pretending to be a god here? The epidemic is a disease and needs to be cured! It can't be cured by your magic tricks!" Doctor Changsun retorted without any hesitation, and his tone was that of an eternal god (YYDS)!

Priest Yuanhong was stunned by this, and his inner monologue (OS) was probably: Did this old man take the wrong medicine today?

He retorted fiercely, "You...you are disrespecting the gods!"

"If the gods are really so powerful, why don't they take you in first?" Doctor Changsun smiled coldly and made a precise complaint, which was not very harmful but extremely insulting.

He pointed at the villagers who were suffering from illness and said, "Look at them! What they need is medicine and treatment, not your empty prayers!" Doctor Changsun's words were like a heavy hammer, waking up some of the villagers.

They began to waver and start to think.

Yes, instead of waiting to die, it is better to trust the doctor, maybe there is still a glimmer of hope.

Seeing that the situation had taken a turn for the better, Zhaoyang Ruyue and Wumeng Tianlong quickly struck while the iron was hot and began to organize the villagers to be isolated and treated.

The Da Xi warriors were responsible for maintaining order and preventing chaos.

The Queen watched from the side and felt a little relieved.

Fortunately, this group of villagers is not too difficult to lead.

At the same time, Yuwen Pharmacist, the solitary herbal collector, was traveling through the mountains and forests like an old Chinese doctor, looking for herbs that could fight against epidemic diseases.

His eyes were sharp, as if he could see through everything.

Suddenly, he stopped and fixed his eyes on a strange herb that was completely green and exuded a faint fragrance.

"What kind of herb is this? I've never seen it before..." He carefully picked the herb and observed it. With years of experience, he had a vague feeling that this herb might have an inhibitory effect on the epidemic.

When the news spread back to the village, everyone was suddenly excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

Could this be the key to defeating the epidemic?

Baona looked at the strange herb, and suddenly an idea flashed through her mind... She suddenly grabbed Yuwen Pharmacist's hand, "Do you still have this kind of herb? Where did you find it?!" Yuwen Pharmacist was startled by Baona's sudden action. He pulled his hand back uncomfortably and subconsciously hid the herb behind his back, like a little squirrel protecting its food.

"What? This is a treasure I found with great difficulty!" He stared at Baona warily, his eyes full of distrust.

"This thing is hard to come by, there's only this one!"

Baona realized that her action was a bit abrupt, and quickly explained: "I don't want to steal your herb, but... I think this herb is very special and I want to ask about its origin." She tried hard to suppress her inner excitement. This herb was exactly the same as the one she dreamed of!

Could this be God's will?

Pharmacist Yuwen looked at Baona suspiciously, and after a while he slowly said, "I found this herb under the Cliff of Broken Souls. There is miasma there all year round, and no grass grows. Only this herb grows tenaciously, as if... it possesses some kind of mysterious power." As he spoke, his eyes revealed an indescribable awe.

Soul-breaking Cliff?

That is a forbidden area that even birds dare not cross easily!

Baona took a breath of cold air. It seemed that this herb was indeed not simple.

"Soul-Breaking Cliff... that place is too dangerous. Is there any other place where I can find this herb?"

"Haha, do you think I don't want to?" Pharmacist Yuwen rolled his eyes, with an expression that said, "Why don't you go to heaven?" "I almost died in that damn place called the Cliff of Broken Souls once! If it weren't for this herb, I wouldn't have gone there!"

Zhaoyang Ruyue came over, patted Baona on the shoulder, and comforted her, "Don't worry, Baona, there will always be a way out. We will definitely find a way!"

Wumeng Tianlong also echoed, "That's right! If all else fails, we can just go explore the Cliff of Broken Souls! We'll just treat it as team building!"

The queen looked at their high morale and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

This group of people is really...interesting.

Doctor Changsun carefully observed the herb with a frown on his face.

"I've never seen this kind of herb before... Its medicinal properties require further research. However..." He paused, his tone becoming serious, "Even if we find enough of it, preparing it will be a big problem. This herb is very potent and requires special utensils and methods to prepare it. Otherwise, not only will the medicinal effect not be fully exerted, but it will also become highly toxic..."

Baona's heart sank again.

Could it be that this is just a false joy?

At this moment, she suddenly thought of someone... "Wait! Maybe, I know someone who can help us!" She turned around suddenly, looking into the distance with a firm gaze.
