Wizard: I Can Extract Everything

One hundred and seventy-seven: plague

This plague first started two weeks ago, and suddenly one day, a large number of residents in the city fell ill, and there were no symptoms before that, as if the virus had been negotiated.

Heath asked, "Are there any signs before the plague? Like a sick man entering the city or something."

Beagle shook his head and said, "No, my lord."

"We also considered whether it was the season and the weather at the beginning, but the weather has been good recently, and the seasons have not changed."

"After that, we also considered looking for the source of infection, but we couldn't find it. These patients seemed to appear overnight. A large number of patients poured into the church that day, and it was confirmed that they had never seen it before."

Heath asked, "Have you tried giving them holy water?"

Beagle said: "We used holy water to rescue the patient when the patient first appeared, but it had no effect."

Heath frowned.

Holy water is a therapeutic potion specially formulated by him using a variety of materials. In theory, it should have a very good effect on these plague diseases.

Beagle sighed: "I didn't expect the hyena disaster to come to us!"

Heath asked, "The plague of hyenas?"

Beagle nodded and said, "Yes, my lord, this is not the first time this plague has appeared. It has erupted in many places in the past two years."

"They are like hyenas, they erupt in one place, bring disaster to the place, disappear suddenly after the person is almost dead, and then erupt in another place..."

Listening to Beagle's narration, Heath narrowed his eyes.

He frowned a bit...

If his guesses are correct, the plague may...

The carriage drove all the way to the city, and finally stopped in front of the newly built cathedral in the city, and Heath and his entourage got off the carriage.

There are only a lot more patients here than in the city, and there are people lying everywhere on the stone steps in front of the church.

The howls resounded continuously.

"Ah...Save...Save me...Sacrificial Lord...Save me..."

"I am so miserable... I am so miserable..."

"Who can help me... Who can help me..."

Heath walked up to a patient, observed it carefully, and called a cleric next to him to inquire about his condition.

There is nothing special about the appearance, it is not much different from the common cold, fever and sick humans, pale, hot, weak and so on.

A little bit special is that red spots will grow all over the body after the disease.

From the appearance of erythema, it indicates that the patient begins to develop the disease, and the current observation period from the onset to the death is about three days.

"...There's only so much I know so far, my lord." The priest asked Hiss.

Heath nodded: "Okay, I see."

Immediately, he lowered his body, opened the patient's eyelids and stared at the eyeball.

After some observation,

He suddenly took out a bell from his space pocket and shook it slightly.

This is a negative element particle detection bell, a magic tool specially used to detect negative elements. It has excellent effects on toxins, dark elements, corrosive elements, etc., and can find many deeply hidden things.

"Ding bell!" The crisp bell rang.

With this voice, a strange scene appeared.

However, under the patient's skin, a dark green worm-like thing suddenly appeared.

Heath immediately stretched out his finger and stroked the patient's skin lightly.

Only a 'puff' sound was heard, and the opening naturally cracked, facing the direction of the worm.

After the skin was cut open, it could be clearly seen that there were little bugs hidden in the flesh and blood below.

It's just a worm, similar in appearance to an earthworm, but at the top is a tiny upper body that appears to be some kind of cat, with a pair of small, pointed claws.

"This... what kind of monster is this?"

"How can there be such a thing?"

The bishops and clergy who accompanied him were all taken aback, seeing the dense worms wriggling in the skin, it only made the scalp feel numb.

After these little bugs were exposed, they hurriedly wanted to escape to the sides or sneak into deeper muscles, but they were blocked by the wizard force field that Heath had deployed in advance.

Immediately, Heath gently picked with a dagger, picking out a monster.

The exposed monsters immediately bared their teeth and claws at Heath, showing a fierce look.

His eyes lit up when he looked at the monster: "Akhtar Abyss Worm!"

This is the same as the abyss female worm he saw in the Demon Worm Forest. It is also a thing from the abyss.

This kind of worm has a super reproductive ability. They like to erode into the body of animals, especially humans, to lay eggs and reproduce. One such abyss worm can multiply dozens or millions of times in just a few days.

Heath asked, "Has there been any suspicious people in the city recently?"

Bishop Beagle pondered for a moment: "There are no suspicious persons, but speaking of strangers, a few did come a few days ago. They claimed to be wizards, and those adults were very enthusiastic at the time to help treat patients."

"They also said that the plague was spread maliciously."

Heath was surprised: "Wizards? Did they say where they came from?"

Bishop Beagle shook his head: "No, my lord."

Heath thought for a moment.

Immediately, he put down the patient: "Give him a bandage."

Bishop Beagle stepped forward and said, "That lord... Those bugs... don't you need to deal with them?"

Everyone just saw the dense insects.

Heath shook his head: "Not for the time being."

After a pause, he continued: "The two wizards were right, this plague was indeed not formed naturally, but someone maliciously poisoned it."

The crowd was startled.

"what?"

"What... what? Someone poisoned? Who did it, it's so abominable!"
