Chapter 127 Plague
After showing off, Gong began to slack off. He continued his life of defecating. In Gong's eyes, this seemed more interesting than practicing.

His previous desire to practice was just a momentary thought, probably just for showing off.

But you know what, Gong is quite serious about his work, and the tribe no longer has the pungent smell that Liu Xun had when he first arrived.

Li dragged his sick body around the tribe and gradually showed signs of exhaustion.

Liu Xun was quite satisfied with Li's performance during this period. He managed all the chores in an orderly manner, which at least did not make Liu Xun worry.

Liu Xun naturally couldn't let such a good talent in internal affairs die from disease.

Originally he planned to wait until he returned to cure Li's illness, but Liu Xun discovered that if he didn't take action, Li might not live long.

Liu Xun currently does not have many means, he can only start refining a few disease-curing pills. These pills can cure many diseases and can be considered a kind of pill that ordinary people often have on hand.

Liu Xun also added a drop of auspicious beast's blood to improve the quality.

In the absence of other high-quality auxiliary materials, these disease-curing pills actually reached the point where two bird patterns appeared.

However, what Liu Xun did not expect was that the Erwen Disease-Curing Pill was unable to eliminate Li's symptoms, but only slightly alleviated them.

Liu Xun couldn't help but frown, it seemed that Li had a serious problem.

I don’t know what kind of stubborn disease it is that even the disease-curing pills are helpless.

Li paused, and said with a nonchalant smile: "Li is lucky to be alive, Immortal Lord, don't worry about it."

Liu Xun patted his shoulder, motioning Li to take a break, but he had some guesses in his mind.

"This stubborn disease has the characteristics of a plague." Liu Xun tapped his fingers lightly, wondering, "Could it be that the congenital plague is causing the problem?"

In his previous life, Liu Xun ascended to immortality through the Yellow Springs Path, which contained a little bit of the inheritance of the Plague Path, so he also had some understanding of the Plague Path.

Most of the celestial immortals who practice the way of plague will travel through the wilderness, looking for traces of the way of plague in the secular world, and deduce various diseases into corresponding cloud methods of the way of plague.

The reputation of the Plague Dao is mixed, because some evil ways like to spread the Plague Dao, using cruel methods that are not tolerated by the righteous ways, while there are also righteous ways that use the Plague Dao to practice medicine and save lives, and are respected by people.

A few diseases will develop plague effects on their own, which are called congenital plague.

For the immortals in heaven who practice the way of plague, the innate way of plague is a treasure.

But for those infected with the disease, congenital plague is like a knife hanging over their heads, threatening their lives at all times.

Liu Xun suspected that Li's illness had developed into congenital plague, because disease-curing pills were almost useless against Li.

There is only one way to solve this problem, other than asking a celestial being who practices the way of plague to take action.

That is to practice martial arts related to the plague, and then cooperate with the essence and blood of the plague beasts. The two will work together to subdue the innate plague in Li's body. This can not only eliminate hidden dangers, but also allow Li to master a strong plague method.

Even if it's not as good as the plague cast by the immortals in heaven, Li still made a big profit.

"Martial arts related to plague, and plague-related beasts." Liu Xun's brows, which had just relaxed, frowned again.

He knew several kinds of strange beasts that could cause plague, some strong and some weak. He had collected several of them in his previous life, so he just had to try his luck in this life.

The only thing is the plague-related martial arts, which is hard to find!
In his previous life, Liu Xun had never seen any martial arts related to plague. He only knew about some inheritances from the immortals in the plague realm.

But Li could not take the path to heavenly immortality, and this became a problem that could not be circumvented.

Liu Xun dropped his sleeves and shook his head, saying, "Well, let's find a chance to see!"

Although the laws of the people on earth are not as profound as those of the immortals in heaven, they are not closed channels or streams. They also have complex branches.

It’s not that there are no martial arts techniques related to the plague, it’s just that Liu Xun hasn’t encountered them.

Speaking of this, we have to mention the origins of the two roads.

The Heavenly Immortal Method originated from the ancient times. At that time, the Cloud Immortals observed the stars, mountains, rivers and spirits of the heavens and the earth, and created countless strange visualization methods. From the heavens and the earth to the ants and grass stems, they could all be visualized as souls. The methods of the earthly people appeared a little later. At the end of the ancient times, a great man simplified the Heavenly Immortal Method, removed the soul, changed the physical body route, and created the martial arts method.

Therefore, martial arts retain the shadow of the methods of heavenly immortals.

Since there is the Plague Cloud Method, there must be a similar martial art.

In ancient times, there was no distinction between immortals and ordinary people, but after several sudden changes in heaven and earth, the path of ordinary people on earth appeared. At that time, the ancient cloud immortal path had declined, and what emerged instead was the current path of heavenly immortal cultivation.

Liu Xun sighed quietly: "The ancient times were indeed a time of great conflict, it's a pity that I was born too late."

There is no immortal in heaven who does not want to be born in ancient times, when the earth was full of treasures and the vitality of heaven and earth was not as dissipated as it is today.

It was just a thought and Liu Xun put it out of his mind.

Just take care of the present!
After Li swallowed a few disease-curing pills, his illness was temporarily relieved. After he arranged all the matters, he took a rest.

There are several more waves of beasts coming up, and he needs to give Liu Xun advice.

The busy craftsman wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the city defense equipment piled up in front of him and cheered.

He called over some idle villagers and asked them to move all the equipment onto the top of the giant beast's skull.

The beast was so huge that the surface of its skull was very flat, so it had no problem placing down these city defense equipment.

Due to material limitations, the city defense equipment made by craftsmen is different from ordinary ones.

Ordinary city defenses are mainly based on bows and arrows, and crossbows, but the craftsmanship is extremely sophisticated and cannot be achieved with just the tools in the hands of a craftsman.

Moreover, the process is complicated and it may not be completed before the second wave of beasts arrives.

The craftsman had to settle for the next best thing and chose a rare city defense device.

Spear thrower!
A fixed base with a groove made to place the spear, and the spear is fully stretched with a rectified animal tendon. When using it, just knock on the baffle at the animal tendon to shoot out the spear.

Its killing power is not as great as that of a crossbow, but it is also a good city defense weapon.

However, its disadvantage is also very obvious, that is, its accuracy is very low.

To this end, the craftsman modified the base to make it adjustable in angle, and the front end could be rotated left and right and up and down to adjust the direction of the spear.

The accuracy of this operation can only be judged by the people themselves.

Although spear throwers wear out quickly, they are quick to make and new ones can be made at any time.

The materials used by the craftsman are all animal bones. The base is made of hard spines tied together, and the baffle is made of shoulder blades. It looks like a bone instrument and is a bit creepy.

Such a simple device actually boosted the morale of the people.

Being able to stand on the bones of a giant beast to defend against the enemy without having to fight personally naturally makes one feel less afraid.

Liu Xun looked at the spear-thrower for a moment and exclaimed in admiration.

I didn't expect that Jiang had such a talent in weapon making. Of course, this was inseparable from Wu Dinggu's initiation.

The one whose skills and knowledge were devoured by the illiterate must be a master craftsman who has been immersed in this art for a long time.

Otherwise, the craftsman would not be able to make complete city defense equipment with simple materials.

Once again expressing his gratitude for the contribution made by the illiterate, Liu Xun instructed: "Adjust the direction of the spear thrower and replace it when the beast tide comes."

As the direction from which the second level of beast tide would attack was not known for the time being, Liu Xun could only ask the folks to arrange a few more positions first.
