Chapter 337 News from Subordinates
Fang Qingyou was about to make an excuse to escape when she saw Luo Qianmo say seriously, "Youyou, I just received news from Kyoto. I wonder if you want to hear it?"
"Huh? What news?" Fang Qingyou asked subconsciously, but Luo Qianmo did not answer her and walked back to the tent on his own.
Fang Qingyou wanted to leave, but it was rare to see Luo Qianmo with such a serious expression. She wondered if something had happened in Kyoto.
Of course, what she cared about most was the current situation of the Ren family and the Cheng'an Medical Clinic.
In the blink of an eye, it has been almost a month since I left Kyoto.
It was just something I was thinking about, but Luo Qianmo's mention of it amplified that longing many times over.
So, Fang Qingyou gritted her teeth and followed Luo Qianmo into his tent.
This time, Luo Qianmo was unusually serious, simply sitting and talking to Fang Qingyou for a while.
Having obtained the information she wanted, Fang Qingyou thanked Luo Qianmo and left, and he readily agreed to let her go.
Even after leaving, Fang Qingyou still felt a sense of unreality.
It's rare to see Luo Qianmo so serious today.
Realizing what she was thinking, Fang Qingyou immediately berated herself. Really, did she have a bit of a masochistic tendency?
Does she actually want Luo Qianmo to take advantage of her?
Fang Qingyou shook her hand, banishing these chaotic thoughts from her mind, and immediately returned to her tent.
She needs to study these Gu worms carefully and prepare the antidote as soon as possible.
Sleepless night.
After nightfall, the Xuanlan group got busy.
They lit a ring of fires around the tent. These Gu worms seemed to be afraid of fire as well, but they were clearly much more advanced than the Gu worms they had encountered a few days ago. They seemed to have a certain degree of intelligence, and every now and then, some of the bolder Gu worms would try to break in.
With a bold leader taking the lead, some Gu worms followed and charged into the fire circle.
Whenever these Gu worms ventured and attacked, the Xuanlan group would step in and kill them.
I was so busy that I ended up working all night.
As dawn broke, this busy period finally came to an end, but there were still scattered Gu worms trying to sneak in and attack, but they were always killed by Xuanlan and his group.
Luo Qianmo, Fang Qingyou, and their group remained stationed on the hilltop, waiting for Fang Qingyou to prepare the antidote.
Otherwise, rashly advancing will only increase casualties.
A day later, Fang Qingyou concocted an antidote to counteract the Gu poison, but the result was mixed.
The good news was that the poison had been neutralized, but the bad news was that the most important "medicinal ingredient" to neutralize the poison was actually Purple Spirit Water.
Fang Qingyou couldn't help but worry, because the seepage of the Purple Spirit Water was completely beyond her control. Since the last time in Lingnan Mountain, no more Purple Spirit Water had seeped out of the water droplet mark. And after preparing a portion of the antidote for the Gu poison in the past few days, she had very little Purple Spirit Water left.
However, considering that tomorrow is the fifteenth, she might be able to collect Purple Spirit Water again?
Two days later, Luo Qianmo, Fang Qingyou, and their group resumed their journey.
Just like last time, they lured and killed the Gu worms within a radius of several miles.
After setting off again, Luo Qianmo, Fang Qingyou and their group rushed towards Jingzhi County, but stopped once more when they were still a hundred miles away from Jingzhi County.
This time, they didn't encounter any Gu worms blocking their way, but rather accidentally discovered the sword belonging to Luo Qianmo's subordinate.
Xuanlan gripped the filthy sword, his fingers trembling as he wiped away the thick layer of dust from the hilt, revealing the two characters "Ling Chen" on it.
"Your Highness, Ling Chen and the others disappeared in that direction."
Around where Ling Chen's sword was found, Xuan Lan easily found the marks left by their people.
Seeing the messy markings, clearly left in a hurry, his heart suddenly tightened, wondering what was going on with Ling Chen and the others.
Luo Qianmo's gaze swept over Ling Chen's sword and the intricate markings, his deep black eyes now tinged with a thick layer of frost.
"Let's set off immediately." Luo Qianmo turned his horse towards the direction where Ling Chen and his group had last disappeared, and galloped away.
Xuanlan and the others immediately followed.
More than an hour later, more and more of the weapons abandoned by his subordinates began to be found on the road, which made Luo Qianmo's dark eyes turn into deep darkness, and his body was cold and icy, like the winter wind, cold and bone-chilling.
More than an hour later, a beast's roar suddenly rang out from somewhere.
"Roar—" The sound seemed to be many things piled up one on top of another, making the ground beneath their feet tremble.
In an instant, everyone's expression became solemn.
As they traveled south, they all knew very well that the sound was the sound of Gu worms.
Moreover, judging from the sound, there seem to be quite a few Gu worms ahead.
Thinking about how the Gu worms they had encountered along the way had become increasingly advanced and difficult to deal with, everyone became extremely vigilant.
"Roar—" Before long, a large group of black Gu worms appeared in front of everyone.
Compared to the bizarre Gu worms before, the Gu worms encountered this time have a more normal beast-like shape. Although the appearance is still rather strange, the left and right halves of the body have relatively symmetrical features.
Having gained experience in dealing with Gu worms, the group immediately took off from their horses and engaged in battle with the horde of Gu worms as soon as they appeared.
The only people who didn't move were Luo Qianmo, Fang Qingyou, and Yue Fei.
Luo Qianmo was about to join the fighting team, but Fang Qingyou stopped him.
Fang Qingyou pulled Luo Qianmo back without saying anything, but gave him a look.
Following Fang Qingyou's gaze, Luo Qianmo's eyes suddenly narrowed.
Because among that group of Gu worms, there was a Gu worm with a slightly reddish body. Because its red color had a hint of black, it was not very conspicuous when it was crowded together with these black Gu worms.
However, noticing the Gu worm gives one a rather dangerous feeling.
This Gu worm had clearly developed some intelligence. While the other Gu worms pounced on them, it hid itself to observe the battle and then decided to make its move when the opportunity arose.
If this Gu worm's sneak attack succeeds, anyone who doesn't react in time will likely suffer.
Fang Qingyou was able to discover this different Gu worm not because of her good eyesight, but because she sensed a somewhat familiar aura.
If she wasn't mistaken, this Gu worm might be the same type that bit Ling Feng, or even the same Gu worm.
Fang Qingyou stared at the Gu worm for a while, then her eyes flickered, and she silently said a few words to Luo Qianmo.
