The vicious female Ye Youcha, who is in Shura Field every day

Chapter 348 Public revenge and private revenge
Ye Ling's lips curled into a mocking smile, and she snorted coldly, her murderous aura diminishing considerably.

As long as this insect stops coveting Yue'er and talking about becoming her eighth beast husband, he can tolerate it for the time being.

Su Xiyue breathed a sigh of relief and smiled broadly: "Great, Xiao Jin, I knew you were so understanding. Shall we begin now? Time waits for no one."

Upon hearing the word "Little Golden Silkworm King," the corner of his mouth twitched, and a hint of disdain flashed across his face.

I always felt that this nickname didn't do justice to his high-class image.

But I also felt it was a friendly way of addressing someone, so I didn't object.

He walked over to the old witch doctor's pile of animal skin scrolls, his golden eyes sweeping over them: "These prescriptions are too mild; they're practically useless against virulent plagues."

He disdainfully peeled aside a few animal hides, picked up a piece of mugwort lying next to him with his fingertips, and said, "This is somewhat useful for warding off evil spirits and uncleanliness, but it's only an auxiliary measure."

The old witch doctor's cloudy eyes were fixed on the Golden Silkworm King, full of hope: "Golden...Golden Silkworm King, what should we do?"

The Golden Silkworm King instantly looked at the old witch doctor's deeply lined face, then glanced at Ye Ling: "Go and fetch a drop of the patient's blood, and I will know what to do."

Upon hearing this, Ye Ling vanished from the spot like a ghost.

He returned shortly afterward, carrying a ceramic bowl with a few drops of dark red blood shimmering at the bottom.

His movements were clean and efficient, clearly taken directly from a patient.

"This is blood from a critically ill patient."

Ye Ling placed the ceramic bowl on the table in the main room. "However, after drinking Yue'er's detoxifying water, her condition has improved somewhat."

The Golden Silkworm King stared at the blood in the bowl, then suddenly stretched out his finger. A golden thread instantly condensed at his fingertip and, as if alive, probed into the dark red blood in the bowl.

"Lord Golden Silkworm King... what... what is this?"

The old witch doctor's cloudy eyes widened in disbelief; in all his years, he had never seen such miraculous methods.

The golden threads seemed to have a life of their own, gently stirring and probing within the blood.

The Golden Silkworm King ignored him, focusing intently on the pottery bowl in front of him, analyzing it carefully, with golden light flowing deep in his eyes.

Su Xiyue held her breath and watched nervously.

Ye Ling stood beside her, quietly watching the Golden Silkworm King's every move.

After a while.

The Golden Silkworm King withdrew his golden silk, his carefree expression vanishing completely, replaced by an extremely solemn look.

It even carried a hint of disgust.

"This thing..."

He smacked his lips, as if he had tasted something extremely disgusting. "It's not an ordinary plague at all. It's poison, an extremely domineering, living poisonous insect."

"Live poisonous insects?"

Su Xiyue and the old witch doctor exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

Ye Ling's silver eyes also sharpened instantly.

"That's right!"

The Golden Silkworm King pointed to the few drops of blood in the bowl, "Things that are ten thousand times smaller than fleas, densely packed in the blood, feeding on flesh and releasing toxins. They can cause orcs to have high fever, vomiting, diarrhea, chills and pain all over their bodies, until they are completely exhausted and die! These things are extremely contagious; you can get infected by coming into contact with their vomit, excrement, or even their breath!"

The old witch doctor's face turned ashen: "Live...living poisonous insects? Then...what can we do? Mugwort can repel insects, but..."

"Mugwort is somewhat useful; fumigation can dispel some of the pathogens, but it can't kill those that have penetrated the body!"

The Golden Silkworm King interrupted him and continued, "Moreover, these poisonous insects reproduce at an alarming rate. With you vomiting and having diarrhea like this, the ground is covered with insect eggs and corpses, polluting the water and soil. How can it not break out?"

He flicked his fingers in disgust, as if he had just touched something dirty: "Where's the source? This vicious thing didn't just appear out of thin air, did it?"

Ye Ling immediately spoke in a deep voice: "At the exit of the upstream canyon, there are a lot of rotten flesh and debris left behind after being eaten by vultures. Qingzhu has already led people to clean up the markings."

"now it's right!"

The Golden Silkworm King instantly turned to Ye Ling, “Rotting beast carcasses, especially large piles of them, are practically a breeding ground for these poisonous insects. Vultures gnaw on the poisonous carrion, and their droppings and feathers fall into the water source or directly pollute the land… Tsk tsk, your water management is practically nonexistent!”

Su Xiyue had already learned about the source of the plague outbreak through the system.

But what she was more eager to know was how to solve the problem: "Xiao Jin, the antidote is effective because it kills these insects?"

"Correct!"

The Golden Silkworm King nodded, raising his chin proudly. "The power of my golden pearl is specifically designed to counter these evil and poisonous creatures. The medicinal power in your antidote pill is also their nemesis. After drinking a bowl of water, a large number of the insects inside will die, and the symptoms will naturally be relieved."

"There is only one antidote pill. Its medicinal power is limited when dissolved in water. It can only temporarily suppress the poison, not cure it completely, and there are not enough to go around."

Su Xiyue instantly grasped the key point. She wanted to say that since the golden beads were specifically effective against evil and poisonous things, she should quickly spit out a few more to save people.

Thinking that it takes three hundred years for a single golden bead to condense, he quickly shut his mouth again.

To avoid being called stupid.

"Therefore, alternatives are needed!"

The Golden Silkworm King's golden eyes flickered slightly as he looked at the old witch doctor. "Old man, in your animal skin scrolls, do you have any records of particularly potent, insect-killing herbs? The more poisonous, the better. Like... snake-killing herbs, or intestinal-severing herbs?"

He named several poisonous plants whose mere names sent chills down one's spine.

The old witch doctor shuddered in fright: "Yes...yes, there are, will-o'-the-wisps, bone-rotting herbs...but those are all highly poisonous! Just touching them will cause skin and flesh to rot. Giving them to a patient? Isn't that just hastening their death?" "Foolish!"

The Golden Silkworm King rolled its eyes. "Who said you could just eat it directly? It needs to be mixed, neutralized, and has my 'holy water' as a medicinal guide!"

He pointed to himself, "The saliva that this silkworm spits out... cough, the secreted saliva, has the effect of inhibiting the reproduction of this poisonous insect and weakening its toxicity. Although it is not as domineering as the golden pearl, it is plentiful and filling!"

Su Xiyue's eyes lit up as she listened: "You mean, boil those highly poisonous herbs together, then mix them with your saliva... no... holy water, to make a new medicinal soup? Fight poison with poison?"

"clever!"

The Golden Silkworm King gave her an approving look. "The medicinal juice made from highly poisonous herbs can kill some of the poisonous insects. When mixed with my saliva, it can neutralize some of the toxicity to the human body and continuously inhibit the insects' vitality and reproduction! Although the effect is a bit slower than your antidote, it can definitely save lives!"

He paused, looked at Ye Ling, and added with a half-smile, "Of course, the effect would be even better if his blood were added."

Hmph, you dare to hit me, and even choke me? How can I not let you bleed a little?
Consider it collecting some interest.

Ye Ling looked a little confused. When did her own blood become an antidote?

He strongly suspected that the dead bug was holding a grudge and deliberately making things difficult for him.

"Ha, I wonder when my blood will be able to cure the plague."

He sneered coldly, then his expression turned very strange as he recalled that he had once mistakenly swallowed a golden bead.

At the time, I didn't feel much when I accidentally swallowed the golden bead, but afterwards, I seemed to never be poisoned again. Even when I was bitten by a poisonous snake, I just thought it was a mosquito bite.

The Golden Silkworm King caught his subtle expression, a playful glint in its golden eyes: "Remember now? You've benefited from my three hundred years of essence. That golden bead has seeped into your bloodline, and your blood is now a walking antidote. A single drop of your blood mixed into the medicinal soup is as effective as ten spits from me!"

The old witch doctor froze instantly, his expression one of utter astonishment. His withered fingers trembled as he pointed at Ye Ling, his voice cracking as he asked, "You...you mean his blood can...can cure the plague?"

This is practically a manifestation of the Beast God.

No, it's even more outrageous than the appearance of the Beast God.

However, even the leader probably wouldn't dare to draw Ye Ling's blood, for fear of being beaten up, since no one could defeat him.

Unless he does it voluntarily.

"if not?"

The Golden Silkworm King crossed his arms, his gaze towards Ye Ling becoming increasingly mocking: "If you hadn't had that stroke of luck back then, would such a good thing have fallen into your lap? What are you standing there for? Bring me a bowl! Put half a bowl in and test the medicine's effects!"

"Half a bowl?"

The veins on Ye Ling's forehead bulged, and the chill emanating from her body almost froze the herbs beside her.

That damned bug was definitely settling a personal score.

It doesn't matter if you put in a bowl or two.

The problem is that a plague has broken out across the entire lower realm of the Beast World continent.

Even if you drained all the blood from his body, it probably wouldn't be enough.

Su Xiyue naturally thought of this as well, and quickly smoothed things over: "Um... Xiao Jin, let's not rush the bloodletting. Let's try the effects of the medicine first. If it works, we can optimize the prescription later."

She didn't want her man to be used as a blood bank, and besides, bloodletting to save lives wasn't a long-term solution.

We need to come up with a better solution quickly.

Moreover, this news must not be spread. If people find out that Ye Ling's blood can cure the plague, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Fortunately, there were only four people in the house.

"Old man, watch your mouth."

Su Xiyue turned to the old witch doctor and solemnly gave him instructions.

This old man has a big mouth; who knows, he might just blurt something out one day.

As for the plague, isn't there also the saliva of the Golden Silkworm King?

Ye Ling's icy gaze was almost tangible, fixing precisely on the witch doctor's face.

That silent warning was more oppressive than any roar.

The temperature in the entire courtyard seemed to drop several degrees.

The old witch doctor shuddered and shook his head vigorously, "No, no! I didn't hear or see anything. I was just pounding medicine here today, I don't know anything!"

He quickly grabbed the pestle and began to pound it vigorously, as if he wanted to crush all the stones on the ground into powder, completely transforming himself into a deaf-mute.

Seeing Su Xiyue so protective of Ye Ling, the Golden Silkworm King felt incredibly jealous, but he didn't continue to make things difficult for her.

Mainly, he also knew that it was unrealistic to expect Ye Ling to bleed out the entire tribe of orcs, or even the entire lower realm of the Beast World.

I only said that to annoy the other party and teach this domineering wolf a lesson.

He coughed lightly, turned to Su Xiyue, and tried his best to adopt a serious and solemn demeanor: "Yue'er, since you've put it that way, then this silkworm will reluctantly try the effects of this medicine first. However, let me make this clear beforehand: if it doesn't work well, don't blame me."

As the Golden Silkworm King spoke, he walked to the medicine shelf to the side and began to select the herbs he needed.

Su Xiyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed to help out.

Ye Ling wasn't idle either; she started preparing the tools and firewood for brewing the medicine.

The old witch doctor quickly went over to help.
