Under tension, unable to fall asleep for a long time, Jiang Zuiyao tightened the blanket around her body, and Qin Nanxian asked, "Can't you sleep?"

Jiang Zuiyao nodded. Those terrible man-eating monsters couldn't be shaken off in his mind today, so he asked, "Do you know the cause of this disease?"

Qin Nanxian shook his head: "By the time I found out about this, the epidemic in Beizhui was already out of control."

Jiang Zuiyao, who was far away in Kyoto, had never heard of this incident. Perhaps the court was afraid of causing unrest in the world and deliberately concealed the news.

Afterwards, Qin Nanxian added: "But I heard that the first injured person appeared in Jiangzhou. If he couldn't be cured in Jiangzhou, we would find famous doctors in Huaizhou to treat him. Later, the number of bites became more severe.

People, this disease has spread."

Jiang Zuiyao really couldn't figure out what could cause people to become so sick.

Generally, epidemics are caused by the natural environment or objective conditions, but among all the epidemics she refers to, none of them can make people lose their minds and cannibalism.

After thinking about it carefully, Jiang Zuiyao made a bold guess: "I'm afraid this disease is man-made, right?"

Qin Nanxian was not in a hurry to reply. It took him a long time before he replied: "This has nothing to do with us. We just want to get the key."

Jiang Zuiyao still doesn't know what that key is, but it must be something very important, so important that Qin Nanxian is willing to risk his life.

At this time, there was a "crash" sound outside the house, and Jiang Zuiyao asked warily: "Listen, what is this sound?"

Qin Nanxian said: "They should be looking for something."

"What are you looking for?"

"This is where the people live, and there is always what we need on the road."

The moon hung high in the sky, and sleepiness swept over her. Jiang Zuiyao finally couldn't hold on any longer. She closed her eyes with heavy eyelids and fell asleep. While sleeping, she did not forget to tightly hold the dagger Qin Nanxian gave her.

Until midnight, Jiang Zuiyao, who was sleeping, felt that her arms were wet. She raised her hand and touched it in a daze. It was a kind of cold mucus.

Opening her eyes sleepily, facing the moonlight, Jiang Zuiyao saw a terrifying face.

Next to her, she saw a man with a rotten face kneeling down. His clothes were in tatters and his exposed skin was also rotten. He was drooling and looking at Jiang Zuiyao, as if he regarded her as delicious food.

In an instant, Jiang Zuiyao lost all sleepiness and trembled suddenly. Just as she was about to escape, the man opened his bloody mouth and tried to bite Jiang Zuiyao's body.

"Ah!!!!" Jiang Zuiyao screamed in fright. Seeing that the man was about to bite her, Jiang Zuiyao picked up the dagger and thrust it into the man's shoulder.

The cannibal man screamed in pain, his hoarse voice was as unpleasant as if something was stuck in his throat. The man-eating man looked like he was crazy. He glared at Jiang Zuiyao fiercely, possessed him and tried to bite again, but Jiang Zuiyao raised his hand to block it.

The rotten skin on his chest was sticky and slippery, and the stench made Jiang Zuiyao just want to gag.

At this moment, the man-eating monster was kicked and turned over. It was Qin Nanxian!

Qin Nanxian took advantage of the man-eating monster to turn over and inserted the knife into his throat.

The man-eating monster was trembling with pain, but within a moment, he died and lay motionless on the ground.

Jiang Zuiyao was frightened. She had already stood up and ran to the corner, looking at everything in front of her in horror.

The noise in the house alerted the guards and Qin Feng outside, and they quickly broke in. When they saw the man-eating monster on the ground, they were shocked at first, and then they felt relieved when they saw that Qin Nanxian and Jiang Zuiyao were intact.

Qin Nanxian was also frightened, breathing heavily, took out a silk handkerchief and wiped the blood on his face, and collapsed on the ground.

Jiang Zuiyao was still standing in the corner. She felt cold all over, and she was breathing rapidly because of the fright.

Qin Nanxian glanced at Jiang Zuiyao and said: "Kill him where he is fatal, otherwise it will be useless."

Jiang Zuiyao just knew this.

Jiang Zuiyao looked at her hands, and then at her arms stained with the man-eating monster's saliva, and suddenly started to vomit in disgust.

"Ugh... vomit..." After a burst of vomiting, he sat on the ground unable to hold on.

After waiting for a while, Jiang Zuiyao walked to Qin Nanxian's side and saw that the dead man-eating monster was actually wearing official uniform!

Jiang Zuiyao immediately asked: "Is he from the imperial court?"

Qin Nanxian shook his head: "It's the imperial physician."

Jiang Zuiyao knew that it must be the imperial doctor sent by the imperial court to treat the epidemic. Unexpectedly, he also became a victim of the epidemic.

Jiang Zuiyao was no longer so scared. She knelt down and looked at the body of the man-eating monster. The skin all over her body had been festered, and there was a stench.

It stands to reason that such a person can no longer walk, how can he run? Moreover, the way Jiang Zuiyao was about to eat him just now is so strong, this is impossible!

Jiang Zuiyao took a handkerchief and dipped it in some blood from the man-eating monster's neck. She looked at it under the moonlight and found that it was black.

Is it poison?

What kind of poison can make people lose their minds and eat people like a devil?

Jiang Zuiyao thought for a while, since Qin Nanxian said that people can be infected if they are bitten, then the way of transmission is saliva?

Immediately, Jiang Zuiyao looked at the man-eating monster's mouth and said, "Open his mouth."

Qin Nanxian said: "I said, this epidemic has nothing to do with us."

"I at least want to know what the reason is and if there is any way to resist." Jiang Zuiyao said without thinking.

Qin Nanxian frowned slightly. He also found the cannibal monster disgusting and said to Qin Feng: "Open his mouth."

Qin Feng also frowned in disgust, but he listened to Qin Nanxian's words and opened the man-eating monster's mouth through the handkerchief.

Jiang Zuiyao went over to take a look, and saw a foul and hard smell. She retched twice, held back her nausea, and pinched her nose to look inside.

It didn't matter at this glance, Jiang Zuiyao was so frightened that she suddenly screamed: "Ah!"

"What's wrong?" Qin Nanxian asked nervously, thinking something had happened.

"Look in his mouth!" Qin Nanxian went over to take a look and was shocked.

I saw a foreign object growing out of the man-eating monster's throat, a ball of flesh like a flower bud. Although the man-eating monster was dead, the bud was still squirming.

Suddenly, the flower buds burst open instantly, and a stream of liquid spurted out. Fortunately, Qin Nanxian ducked in time, otherwise it would all spray on his face.

Later, the flower bud wilted and fell into the man-eating monster's mouth.

Qin Feng couldn't bear it anymore and quickly let go.

Jiang Zuiyao suppressed the fear in her heart and walked over to take a look. The liquid sprayed out was transparent and no different from ordinary people's saliva.

However, at this moment, a picture suddenly appeared in Jiang Zuiyao's mind, making her tremble in disbelief.

"What's wrong with you?" Qin Nanxian asked curiously.

Jiang Zuiyao didn't dare to say anything, so she just said: "Which of you has alcohol on you?"

A guard removed the wine bottle from his waist and handed it over.

Jiang Zuiyao dropped the wine on the transparent saliva. In an instant, the liquid changed like boiling water when it met the wine.
