Su Ruotang glanced at the dozens of vultures on the edge of the cliff: "In the mass graves, there are the most vultures."
Leaving behind a sentence, she looked at Mo Ronyan, "Go back to the capital first."
According to what Mu Feng said, the people in the capital must have been poisoned.
Mo Ronyan nodded, hugged her and quickly rushed towards the capital.
The Zilin guards carried everyone and followed closely.
In an instant, only Duke Dingguo and Shang Tian were left on the edge of the cliff, as well as the guards of Duke Dingguo's mansion who had stopped working for some time.
The vultures stared at the corpses of Prince Dingguo and Shang Ruyan, their round eyes filled with desire.
Duke Dingguo and Shang Tian shouted angrily: "Go away!"
"Get away! Don't touch Yan'er!"
"Beasts, if you dare to touch my son, I will kill you!"
However, species are different and unable to communicate.
The vultures tilted their heads and looked at them for a while, then stepped forward and pecked at the rotting corpses of Prince Dingguo and Shang Ruyan.
Vultures love to eat carrion.
The most common mass graves are vultures.
Duke Dingguo and Shang Tian watched helplessly as more and more vultures gnawed at the corpses.
Not long after, the bodies of Shang Ruyan and Prince Dingguo were chewed up until only scattered bones remained.
After gnawing on the rotten corpse, the vultures turned to gnaw on the guards of the Dingguo Palace.
The vulture, which was up to no good, pecked Shang Tian and Duke Ding several times.
The exposed skin of the two men was pecked until they were bloody, and the wounds were so deep that their bones were visible.
The vulture held the meat of the two people in its mouth, and the expression in its round eyes was obviously stunned.
Then they shook their heads in disgust.
The eyes showed brightly——
Bah, it tastes terrible!
Not as delicious as a corpse!
When Duke Dingguo and Shang Tian saw the disgust in the vulture's eyes, they were so angry that they both spat out a mouthful of old blood and fell to the ground on their backs.
...
Beijing.
Countless beggars poured into the city from outside the city.
A large number of panicked people fled from the city or rushed to the tower.
The imperial guards and some Zilin guards protected the people while trying to control the beggars.
A large number of beggars dressed in rags poured into the city from outside the city on their hands and feet, and chased the people who escaped from the city out of the city.
They have scarlet eyes and bite anyone they see.
Like a hungry jackal, he gets even more excited when he encounters blood.
The smell of blood spreads, but the people who were severely bitten will soon become like them.
They not only bite normal people, but also bite each other.
Wherever he passed, the corpses left behind were all bitten and bloody.
When many people saw this scene, their faces turned pale and they ran out of the city in an even more panic.
"Run!"
"Help! Don't bite me! Ah!"
"Run to the tower! They won't go upstairs!"
"Child, my child, let go of my child..."
Cries, screams, and roars mingled together.
The people frantically pushed aside the Imperial Guards and Zilin Guards and ran towards the tower.
The scene was extremely chaotic.
A man ran out while protecting his wife and daughter.
Because of the crowd, the little girl was pushed away.
"Dad, mother..." The little girl was pushed to the ground and cried in fright.
Behind her were beggars rushing toward her.
The man pushed his wife to the side of the imperial guard, ran to his daughter's side without hesitation, and held her daughter firmly in his arms with his body.
He closed his eyes.
I prayed silently in my heart.
He had done good deeds throughout his life, and he did not ask for anything else at this time, but that God would appear and keep his wife and daughter safe.
The beggar's roar rang in his ears, and the strong smell of blood hit his nostrils.
The man was extremely disappointed.
The woman who was held by the guards tried her best to lean out towards the father and daughter: "The boss, Bao'er!"
She watched with a sad expression as the beggar pounced on the two of them and fell to his knees in despair.
The man hugged his daughter tightly.
However, the expected pain did not come.
Instead, there was the sound of something heavy falling to the ground beside him.
The roar in his ears also turned into a roar of pain.
There seemed to be a few drops of warm liquid splashed on the face.
His eyes shot open.
I saw a man wearing a black robe holding a sword in front of the father and daughter.
The beggar who jumped towards them was writhing on the ground in pain.
On the thigh, there was faint blood oozing out.
Fu Beixian frowned and ordered the Zilin Guards, "Take them to a safe place."
After finishing his words, he looked around with a cold look on his face.
The beggars and the common people bit each other.
The streets were bloody and body parts were everywhere.
He solemnly ordered the imperial guards: "Protect the people who have not been bitten."
After a pause, he took a deep breath, "If the people who were bitten are really unable to control...kill them!"
The last word is heavy and sad.
The Imperial Guards and Zilin Guards responded solemnly.
Fu Beixian flew up to the tower.
On the tower.
Mu Chen was directing Changfeng and others, as well as the imperial doctors from the imperial hospital, to bandage the Zilin Guards and Imperial Guards.
"What's going on?" Mo Jinming, who hurried over, nodded to Fu Beixian and looked at Mu Chen.
Mu Chen's expression was extremely solemn: "It's Gu."
When Fu Beixian and Mo Jinming heard this, they looked at each other with ugly expressions.
Mo Jinming: "Can you solve it?"
Mu Chen shook his head: "I can only rely on medicine to temporarily control it, but it cannot be cured."
This is why he only cares about the Zilin Guards and Imperial Guards being accidentally bitten by the common people.
Mo Jinming looked at the bloody street like a battlefield and frowned tightly.
After a while, he ordered the imperial guards with difficulty, "Kill all the civilians who are bitten..."
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Second brother, if you can control it, first..."
Before Fu Beixian finished speaking, he was interrupted by Mo Jinming, "As long as you get bitten, can you still control it?"
Fu Beixian lowered his eyes and looked at the body of the child below that was torn apart into only the skeleton, and clenched his hands tightly.
Mu Chen took the words: "Master Fu, His Highness's choice can save more people."
Fu Beixian breathed out gently, raised his sword and jumped down from the tower, "I'm going to help."
Mo Jinming looked at Fu Beixian who jumped into the crowd with a cold expression on his face, "What kind of poison is it?"
Mu Chen shook his head: "I don't know."
He couldn't bear to look at the people below: "If my sister is here, maybe it can be solved."
Speaking of this, he felt a little ashamed.
No one in the Mu family could refine Gu Butterfly, and it only took my sister a month to refine it.
If the ancestors of the Mu family knew about it, they would probably be so happy that they would lift up the coffin board and take a look.
When he meets the ancestors of the Mu family in the future, he will be able to walk with his head raised.
Just as Mu Chen finished speaking, the cry of an oriole suddenly sounded.
The clear and melodious cries of warblers passed through the screams of the people and reached everyone's ears clearly.
The sound was very short, no more than three breaths.
When the orioles' cries fell, the common people and beggars who were biting each other in the streets and alleys all raised their heads.
Mu Chen's expression suddenly changed: "Back away! The Gu worms in their bodies are under control!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the people who were infected with the poisonous insects gave up biting each other and ran towards the city tower.
Inside the city tower, there were people who had been temporarily rescued and were not infected.
At this time, they looked at the person infected with the Gu, slowly climbing up the stairs using their hands and feet, and their eyes suddenly went dark.
Didn’t you say you can’t climb stairs?
