Genshin Impact: Demon God of Shura

Chapter 80 The Origin of the Plague

A few days later, after confirming the condition of all the citizens of Guixiuli and the many infected Thousand Rock Army and Shura Knights, Lantian, who had just left the quarantine area with Morax, had a very gloomy expression. His fists were clenched tightly, and he seemed to be about to get angry.

"Old friend, have you already figured it out from your expression?"

Morax, standing to the side, had a face as blue as the sky.

"Um..."

Lan Tian nodded, his slightly bright blue eyes returning to normal in the blink of an eye. He turned around, looking at Morax with a solemn expression, and slowly uttered five words in a low voice:

"The Demon God of Disease".

Upon hearing this, Morax frowned, then nodded, indicating that he understood what Blue Sky meant.

Before Morax could say anything, Blue Sky shook his head and interrupted:

"Let's put aside the matter of the Demon God of Disease for now and focus on solving the plague problem in our territory. This debt will be settled sooner or later!"

Lan Tian deliberately emphasized the word "liquidation," his azure eyes burning with fury, but he managed to suppress it well.

“Let’s go, Morax. The herbs on Maxius’s side should be ready by now.”

"Yes, let's go, old friend."

Morax nodded slightly.

A few quarters of an hour later.

Lan Tian and his companion arrived at the central square of Guixiuli, where Maxius and Fucarus were located. Several Shura Knights were also there, leading their men to deliver the distributed herbs to the patients' homes.

"Marcus, how effective were the first batch of herbal remedies?"

Blue Sky stroked the head of Fucarus, who was pouring herbal soup into porcelain bowls, and asked Marcusius, who was still simmering the herbs.

"The effect is very good, Master. According to the reports from the Shura Knights nearby, this herb can greatly alleviate the patient's symptoms. I speculate that drinking a bowl of herbal soup every now and then will lead to a full recovery. But the problem is... Here, Fukaros, take this, be careful, it's hot."

Marcus answered without looking up, but was interrupted halfway through his sentence to hand a large pot of already brewed herbal soup to Fucarus. Fucarus, however, took the soup and continued as Marcus had instructed:

"The problem is that those who are almost recovered will soon be reinfected, and the symptoms will be more severe, and the effects of the herbs will be greatly reduced. Brother Blue Sky, Marcius and I speculate that there must be a source in Guixiuli that can infect the people again without their knowledge through some channel. I think we must find that source and solve it first, so as to prevent such a situation from happening again."

As she spoke, Fukaros put down the herbal soup, snuggled into Blue Sky's arms, and cuddled for a while before getting up to continue distributing the herbal soup.

Fukalos's focused expression naturally caught Lantian's attention, making him want to pinch Fukalos's cheek, but the atmosphere at the moment was not suitable for flirting.

"Morax and I already know the source of the infection. You just need to brew the herbal soup. Here, this is the herbal medicine I prepared for those citizens who have been reinfected, but remember that each person can only drink it once, and the amount cannot exceed this bowl, otherwise it will backfire and harm them."

After saying that, Lan Tian placed two bundles of herbs wrapped in different packages and a pile of smaller porcelain bowls on an empty table next to Fukalos, and then went with Morax to the source of the river in the northeast of Guixiuli.

On the way, Lan Tian sent a small portion of his divine sense to the lightning clone that had just arrived beside Gui Zhong and Luo Xue, and asked:

"Gui Zhong, is there any situation on your end?"

Meanwhile, Gui Zhong, who was far away at the western city gate, was initially confused when Lan Tian's Shura clone came to his side. However, after the clone asked him about the situation, he immediately realized that Lan Tian had something to ask him.

There's no other reason than that, apart from the previous rock clone, Lan Tian's Asura clone doesn't speak on its own initiative. This is something Lan Tian specifically told him before they parted ways.

"Hmm? Blue Sky? Nothing much has happened here. If you want to talk about anything, there are just some scattered groups of monsters wandering around, but they were easily dealt with by the Asura Squad led by Luo Xue."

Before Gui Zhong could finish speaking, Luo Xue led several Shura Knights back to the city wall and stood still.

Upon arriving at Gui Zhong's side, seeing Lan Tian's lightning clone communicating with Gui Zhong, they knew it was Lan Tian's divine sense projecting over. Therefore, they waited until Gui Zhong finished speaking before reporting:

"Lord Shura, at your request, I led a team to conduct a thorough investigation in the vicinity for a while. Apart from encountering some attacks by demons, we did not find any trace of other demon gods and their people."

"Yes, be careful. Morax and I are moving towards the suspected source of infection. We believe we'll be able to control this plague soon, and victory will be ours!"

"Victory belongs to us!"

Gui Zhong and Luo Xue replied at the same time, and then watched Lan Tian's lightning clone leave.

Let's turn our attention back to the blue sky.

"Morax, you've been paying attention too, haven't you?"

"Yes, such an ominous aura is indeed the source of the plague outbreak."

Standing on the riverbank in the northeast of Guixiuli, the two of them frowned and stared at the source of the river.

The once crystal-clear river water had become murky and thick, and black Gu worms could be seen floating on the surface of the gray water from time to time, only to sink back down and flow into Gui Xiuli with the river.

Clearly, the source of the plague was spread by these insects.

"What a demon of disease! Using such despicable means to deal with us is unforgivable! Morax, let's go to the source of this river and stop the spread of the plague at its root. As for the water source inside Guixiuli, I will leave it to my Asura clone."

Lan Tian's tone was clearly filled with uncontrollable rage, and his killing intent towards the demon god of disease intensified.

"Of course, let's go, old friend."

Morax nodded and then led Lantian toward the source of the river, which was in the vicinity of Qingcezhuang.

As for why Morax took the lead, it was unavoidable. Lan Tian was not as familiar with the terrain and environment of Qingce Village as Morax was, because it was very different from the terrain of Qingce Village that Lan Tian had seen in the game in his previous life.

Upon arriving at the vast mountain pool atop the highest peak of Qingce Village, Lantian and Morax's pupils constricted immediately upon seeing the scene within, and anger simultaneously surfaced on their faces.

What came into view was a dense mass of all kinds of Gu worms filling the entire mountain pool. Upon closer inspection, one could also discover several hundred human skeletons being gnawed on, and the deceased had been dead for no more than three days.

"Damn it! Go all out, Morax! No matter how badly the terrain here is destroyed, I can repair it! I am Shura, and Shura is me! This is—the Shura Sword God!"

"The heavens are moving!"

After summoning a barrier to envelop the entire mountaintop, Lan Tian and Morax, in their fury, simultaneously unleashed their strongest attacks on these Gu worms!

If you were to look from a distance right now, you would see that under the combined attack of Lan Tian and the other person, a huge mushroom cloud rose into the sky within the barrier, followed by a strong ground tremor, but the barrier blocked it all. The price was that half of the entire mountain peak was smashed apart, and several huge cracks appeared on the barrier itself, showing just how terrifying the two people's all-out attack was.

At this moment, the only phrase that can truly capture this scene is "world nuclear peace."
