Chapter 88: The Thunderwolf Clan
Luo Qingfeng soon sent someone to secretly send the animal plague patients to the Chen family's mansion.
The patient was not exposed, but was wrapped in a thick white cloth, and when carried over, it looked more like a dying man, with only half of his face exposed, but the part below his nose was also covered by a veil, and he could only breathe rudimentarily.
And the guards of the City Lord's Mansion who escorted this patient were also Jindan Realm monks, and since their cultivation was not low, they were all able to resist the infection of the beast plague, so they did not wear any protective clothing.
And in order to prevent Duan Jianxue and other monks with low cultivation from being infected (after all, it was already known from the Heavenly Dao Scroll that this kind of animal plague would spread through the air), so Chen Anning let everyone go to the backyard and closed all the doors of the house.
Although Xiao Nianqing seemed to have some objections to this, at Chen Anning's insistence, she still went to the safer backyard.
- Chen Anning doesn't want his wife to have any accidents.
After everyone went to the backyard, Chen Anning overturned a black leather mask from the cabinet full of medical equipment.
This is a simple version of the gas mask that Chen Anning used to concoct, the general style is similar to the shape of the wild boar's mouth, and there are many herbs inside that can absorb poisonous gases and filter and purify the air, but because Chen Anning did not find a cheap and suitable thing similar to rubber and silicone, he can only use hard-shell metal to make the body of the mask, so it will be a little uncomfortable to wear on the face.
Chen Anning put on the uncomfortable full gas mask, took out the rough and too cold gloves (he also couldn't find the right material to give up comfort in exchange for practicality), and after being fully prepared, he slowly looked at the patient in front of him who was lying flat on the ground and tightly wrapped.
Let's get started.
"Can you lend me the scabbard?"
Chen Anning didn't start directly, but looked at one of the City Lord's Mansion guards who was escorting the patient.
When the guard heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then he didn't hesitate, and handed the scabbard at his waist to Chen Anning.
Chen Anning pulled out the sword in the scabbard, a little heavy, and returned the object to the guard.
All he needed was a scabbard.
"Help me rip the cloth off his body."
The janissary gave Chen Anning a worried look, he obviously didn't think that the strange-looking mask could withstand the invasion of the virus.
"Dr. Chen." He hesitated, but still spoke: "If you don't take precautions, this beast plague will be easy to ......."
"It's okay."
Chen Anning knocked on the mask on his face: "I'm wearing this, although it's not a bird's beak, but the effect is almost the same." ”
The guards glanced at each other, and they all saw a deep worry in each other's eyes.
Obviously.
The mask on Chen Anning's face didn't even count as a magic weapon in their eyes
How could this beast plague, which only monks above the Jindan realm could resist, be stopped by this little mask?
"Doctor Chen, I advise you to take precautions, we can go back and ask a few formation cultivators to condense a few formations for you."
"No." Chen Anning glanced at the guard: "Tear the cloth off." ”
“……”
Seeing Chen Anning's attitude, the guard also sighed helplessly.
He had already thought in his heart, if the city lord blamed him, they would say that it was what Doctor Chen wanted.
With that in mind.
The four guards stepped forward and peeled off the thick white cloth from the patient's body.
An extremely strong stench and the smell of decay suddenly permeated.
The four guards immediately activated the True Qi in their bodies, forcibly suppressed and crushed this breath with True Qi - this was the reason why the Jindan Realm cultivators would not be infected, their True Qi was already so arrogant that they could directly crush the virus gas.
Chen Anning, on the other hand, was breathing unhurriedly, and through the Heavenly Dao Scroll, he had already learned the relevant information about the beast plague, and he was also convinced that the simple gas mask he made could filter out these viruses.
Inside the field.
The four guards all looked at Chen Anning quite nervously, for fear that this famous doctor Chen would be hit and fall to the ground in the next second.
They had seen the horror of the beast plague, which showed a slight reddish-black spot on the surface of the skin after infection, and a cough began to occur in a short period of time, and then became more and more severe.
However.
Chen Anning showed no signs of this.
His eyes remained fixed on the patient in front of him, who seemed to have fainted.
"Tut-tut, it's miserable enough."
Even from Chen Anning's eyes, the patient's appearance is quite miserable.
The flesh under the skin was already festering, some parts were twisted and bulging due to excessive bruising, and the whole person looked like a puddle of flesh, not only that, but there were three sharp claw marks on his chest, which looked like they were left by the pounce of a jackal beast.
Chen Anning held the scabbard in his hand, picked up the patient's clothes with the end of the scabbard, and slapped the patient's face twice with this object.
He took the scabbard in his hand, stabbed the patient in the heart and lungs occasionally, and when he was convinced of something, he slowly leaned down and approached the patient.
He reached out and carefully took the patient's pulse.
As time passed, the expression on Chen Anning's face became more and more solemn, and after a stick of incense, he slowly withdrew his hand to check the pulse.
"What's the deal with the claw marks on his body?" Because of the mask, Chen Anning's voice was very muffled.
"The city lord said that if Dr. Chen needs to see a doctor, it is best to find the nearest source of infection." The janissary replied honestly: "He is a little famous hunter in our Hundred Flowers City, a little skillful, he often goes to hunt in the black wood forest outside the city and a surrounding area, many demon beasts inhabit this place, this claw mark should be left by the attack of wolf demon beasts." ”
Wolf monsters?
Chen Anning's brows furrowed.
If I am not mistaken, the name of this beast plague in the Heavenly Dao Book is [Wolf Plague]
His gaze fell on the claw marks that were already about to scab over, and Chen Anning then asked, "Have you ever guessed that these wolf-type demon beasts are the possible source of infection?" ”
"This ...... Seems unlikely, right? The janissary looked at the wound on the patient's chest: "This wound is almost scabbed, and it has been too long...... Moreover, the lord of the castle said that the source of infection came from the side of Dongluan Castle. ”
Truly.
With such a huge wound, it will take at least a month for the scab to form.
But considering that this person is also a monk, it may be reduced to half a month or even a week.
Perhaps the condition has an incubation period.
Thinking of this, Chen Anning suddenly asked, "What kind of wolf demon beast is there outside the city?" ”
Faced with Chen Anning's inquiry, the guard thought for a few seconds, and then replied:
"A small number of black-clawed wolves, very rare sword white wolves, and most of them are very ordinary fierce demon wolves of about two to three grades."
Chen Anning lowered his head and pondered: "Are there three categories......
It was just when Chen Anning was thinking about it that another guard suddenly spoke.
"But I've heard lately that a group of thunderwolves seem to have come to our vicinity."
"Thunderwolf? Aren't they on the east side? ”
"I don't know, anyway, I've heard that a group of thunderwolves seem to have migrated suddenly."
Migration?
Chen Anning's heart trembled slightly.
If that were the case, he might have to make another trip.
