"It seems to be the ancient one." Miria said to the two figures on horseback in the distance.

"How's it going?" Coming to the front, Gu Yiyuan and Lao Gu turned over and dismounted, and asked anxiously.

"Three of the four places have been destroyed, only here is a little late, and the surrounding area is already polluted." Miria explained anxiously.

"Don't worry too much." Lao Gu reassured, "I have already analyzed the samples retrieved by Ichihara. Although the damage is indeed powerful, it is difficult to make a potion to suppress it for a while. However, this pollution only begins to really take effect when exposed to sunlight. So we just need to sprinkle the detergent I brought with us before sunrise to purify the polluted rivers and soil. ”

"That's great!" Miria said excitedly.

So, Lao Gu hurriedly took out a large amount of potions from behind him and distributed them to everyone. When Miria and the others got the potion, they immediately scattered around and began to sprinkle the potion on the contaminated area. The milky white potion sprinkled on the dirty earth, immediately enveloping a faint white mist. But soon, the white fog dissipated, and the dirty land still showed the same as before, as if nothing had changed.

"It doesn't seem to be working very well." Miria said with a frown.

"Don't worry." Lao Gu replied confidently, "It's definitely no problem." It will also take some time for it to take effect. However, the filth will definitely disappear before dawn. You can rest assured. ”

After dealing with the surrounding pollution, Miria and the others were still a little uneasy. As a result, the scope of purification was further expanded. They walked far away, and only reassured themselves when they were convinced that all the pollution in the area had been doused with detergent.

"It seems that the direction of the water flow has also been affected to varying degrees, although it is not that serious, but it is better for me to follow the river to make sure." Lao Gu looked at the stream that flowed nearby and muttered.

"There was a powerful energy in the valley just now, and I think Jiali was fighting someone. Listen to this guy, that's the power they summoned. I'd like to go over there and see what's going on. Miria said to the old guys.

"That's right......" Old Gu touched his chin, frowned and thought for a while, and was about to reply, but Milia preemptively said, "In this way, let Brala accompany you to the other side to investigate, and I will go to the valley to see the situation." ”

"Huh? Let's go together, it's too dangerous for you to go alone. Lao Gu said.

"No problem. I'm just going to see what happens, and it's not going to be dangerous. And this side of the matter is also very important, it is better to check as soon as possible along the stream. Just in case, Blala, you follow them and keep them safe. ”

"But......," Blana was about to reply.

"That's it! Hurry up. I'll catch up with you in a moment. With that, Miria hurried them on their way, and then she mounted her mount and ran quickly towards Eugari.

Although Kemorrah relied on his rich combat experience and a variety of shadow spells, he was not fatally damaged in the battle with Yugari. But even the damage from just the staff beating had left him bruised and in unbearable pain. He had never been involved in melee combat, and under the stormy attack of Yugari, he could not even parry. As for the shadow spells he was best at, there was no chance to chant at all. Although Kemorrah would love to get rid of Yugari's entanglement with some restriction spells, ......

"Shadow Dark Binding!" Once again, Kemorash unleashed a large number of shadow tentacles that wound around Yugari. But as before, the tentacles dissipated the moment they touched Eugari.

"Bastard! What the hell is going on?! Dispel spells? But I didn't see her cast it. That's the equipment effect? Damn it! What the hell is going on?!' Kemorrah cursed as new wounds were added to Yugari's blows.

"Shadow Circle Teleportation!" With the spell cast, Kemorrah disappeared from Yugari's vision once more. Compared to Yugari's space control, Kemorrah's teleportation skill has a much shorter cooldown. As a result, he can use it more often, as a way to temporarily break free from Yugari's entanglement. But the downside is that he can only teleport to a few fixed locations, so it is also very limited.

As Kemorrah uses teleportation spells again and again to dodge attacks, Yugari has already figured out several of his fixed teleportation locations. Seeing that Kemorra had disappeared again, Yugari immediately looked back at his original position, and Kemorrah's figure appeared in her field of vision accurately. So Eugari sped forward, swung her staff, and flew towards Kemorrah like the wind.

"Damn it! What kind of spell can make her so light, like the wind! Isn't she a single professional?! How is this possible!' Kemorrah was incredibly confused. At the same time, he did not give up resistance. has been chanting shadow spells.,Continued to attack Yugari.。

Barriers, shields, staff strikes. Yugari simply wiped out the barrage of shadow energy that Kemorra had sent out. Then, once again, he came near. Sweep, punch, beat. The continuous attacks caused Kemorrah's head to be broken and he was embarrassed.

"Bastard! Don't you have a little dignity as a spellcaster when you beat someone with a staff?! Kemorrah shouted hoarsely as he stepped back.

Eugari ignored his arguments, and had no intention of stopping the attack until he had surrendered. As Kemorrah was slightly distracted by the retreat behind him, Jugari swept his staff hard over his ankles, and Kemorrah fell to the ground with a scream. Yugari had just withdrawn her staff and was about to step forward when a white light shot out in front of her eyes, and a flying knife struck her. Yugari dodged, the knife grazing her forehead, leaving a shallow scratch.

At this moment, a man of medium stature walked in the distance in the night. The man's hairstyle is unusually peculiar, with only half of his hair in a bun and the other half bald, and he wears a bright red robe that wraps his whole body.

"Seems to be the one I saw at Night Pier before." Yugari thought to herself.

"Go back! The president has something to look for you! The man said indifferently.

"Bastard!" Kemorrah cursed under his breath as he tried to stand up. But the ankle that Yujali hit just now seemed to be a bit serious, and he fell down halfway through his feet.

"What a rubbish! You've lost all your face! The man in red scolded as he reached out and put Kemorrah on his shoulder, then turned around and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute, you ......" Yugari was about to start talking, when three throwing knives struck Yugari at the same time. Yujali hurriedly dodged sideways, two throwing knives flying past her robes, and the other striking at the barrier she had just set. By the time she turned around again, the man had fled far away with Kemorrah on his shoulder.

Due to the lush woods in the distance, and the fact that she did not have any pursuit skills, Yugari had to give up the pursuit and reluctantly walked down the mountainside. She first cleaned up the wreckage of the battlefield, and then overtook the dead retinue. After everything was taken care of, he mounted his mount and headed for the mountain pass.

As soon as he walked out of the valley, he happened to meet Milia who was coming towards him.

"Huh? What are you doing here? Yugari asked in surprise, "Is it all done over there?" ”

"Well, that's it......" Miria thought awkwardly and said, "It's okay." I saw that there was a lot of fighting here, so I came over and took a look. That's pretty much the way through. Blala followed the uncle and they went to investigate the surrounding situation. It's too much of a problem. ”

"That's good." Yugari seemed relieved, "Let's go, let's go over and have a look." ”

"Alright. Hey? What's wrong with your forehead? Looking at the "red thread" on her forehead, Miria asked in surprise.

"Huh? This one. Eugarie touched her forehead and replied nonchalantly, "It's nothing." In a moment's carelessness, I forgot to keep the protective spell. ”

"It doesn't matter."

"It's okay. Let's go and see what's going on over there. With that, Eugaria urged Miria to get on her horse and hurry in the direction of Blala.

When Yujiali and the others arrived, Lao Gu, Gu Yiyuan, and Bula were gathered in front of an ancient tree, discussing something, and their expressions seemed to be relieved.

"What's wrong? Any good news? Seeing how happy everyone is? Eugari asked.

"You're back." Lao Gu held an herb in his hand and said with a relaxed expression, "It's good news." We found out that the source of the pollution they made was more or less related to this plant. Moreover, if the agent is reversed according to the characteristics of this plant, the source of contamination can be quickly decomposed. We just did an experiment, and the results are very good, and the original plague infection is also very good to cure. I think I can collect a large number of these plants and go back to make them into potions to help people fight the plague. ”

"That's great!" Hearing this, Yujiali exclaimed happily, "So, with this potion, you can cure the infected people and successfully solve this plague?" ”

"Well...... uncle smiled bitterly and continued, "I can't say that." Although these potions are very effective in curing the plague, as long as the spread of the plague continues, no one knows if there will be any mutation effects in the future. And there is no effective way to stop the spread of the plague. Therefore, in order to completely solve the problem of plague, we must first find the source of the plague and fundamentally cut off the generation of plague. ”

"That's true." Yugari nodded approvingly, "Leave it to us to investigate the source." Let's set off for Chiyan Mountain. ”

"yes. That's how it was planned. Miria chimed in.

"Don't be in such a hurry, it's already this time, it's better to go to my house to rest first, and it's not too late to go tomorrow morning." Lao Gu looked at the night that was already very deep, and said with concern.

"That's right." Gu Yiyuan, who was on the side, also said, "You can't go on an adventure without sleeping or taking a break." Besides, we'll have to send these people to the Guild Alliance first. ”

"Let's go back first." Lao Gu continued, "Tomorrow I will give you a specific explanation of the situation on the other side of Chiyan Mountain, and prepare some potions just in case. It's all ready, and then you can be more sure. Don't be so unprepared. It's dangerous. ”

Youjiali thought about it and felt that what Lao Gu said was very reasonable, and it was really difficult to refuse it in the face of such a warm family. "That's good. Then let's take a break. I'm really sorry for you. ”

"Where. Don't be so polite. If we can eradicate the source of the plague, it will be our lifesaver in Sunset. With that, Yugari and the others escorted the captured "criminals" and walked in the direction of returning to Sunset Town.

The next morning, Eucaria, Miria, and Brilla first escorted the "criminals" to the Guild Alliance in Sunset Town, and explained the situation to the person in charge there, who immediately contacted the Starlis headquarters after learning about it, saying that he would definitely find out the ins and outs of the matter. Afterwards, they returned to Lao Gu's house, had lunch, and listened to Lao Gu tell them about Chiyan Mountain.

"To be honest, I don't know much about that mountain. Because it is dangerous and mysterious for those of us here, few people have ever been there, let alone climbed to the top. Basically, people worship it as a holy mountain and don't dare to approach it. The mountain is said to have existed for thousands of years, but it rarely erupts. Everyone said that it was the source of the plague outbreak, and there were rumors that a giant dragon lived on the top of the mountain. But these are just rumors, after all, no one has ever seen them with their own eyes. The further you go to the top of the mountain, the higher the temperature, and even if you are only halfway up the mountain, the temperature is already over 60 degrees. It is estimated that the temperature at the top of the mountain is at least 100 degrees. The potion you have just given you will help you resist the heat for a while, but I don't know what else is going on. So you have to be careful. If you notice something unusual, retreat as soon as possible, and don't joke with your own life. The old old saying said earnestly.

"Understood. Thank you very much for the introduction, and such a hearty lunch, as well as these potions, it really helped us a lot, and I don't know how to thank you. Yugari politely thanked her.

"You're welcome. If you have any problems during the investigation process, or if you need help, please feel free to come to me. We will definitely do our best to help you, and this is also for the sake of the safety of the whole of Sunset. The uncle said enthusiastically.

"In the Black Forest, you just keep going south along the foot of the mountain. During the day, the temperature is hot, there are almost no wild animals, and the activity of the trees is very weak, so it is still easy to get out and not lose your way. Gu Yiyuan next to him said, "Wait, wait until I finish the herbs I have collected and deal with the plague here, I will definitely go to Staris to find you." Let's go on an adventure together! ”

"Okay. You are always welcome to come to us in Starlis. Eugarie replied heartily.

In this way, Youjiali and her party temporarily bid farewell to the old Gu family. With protective potions, they left Sunset Town, crossed the black forest, passed through Chiyan City, and arrived at the foot of Chiyan Mountain before dusk.
