When the first ray of light fell from the sky, everyone could see that the hillside where they were standing was completely destroyed by the mad wolves' sneak attack. Besides the smell of the air that was covered by the guards, the ground was covered in black blood, and even the soil was black. From the night before, the soldiers in the army couldn't help but groan. These soldiers were not ordinary cultivators who had experienced hundreds of battles, because the places where they had been bitten or scratched by the wolf tribe were beginning to become red, swollen, and festering. Most of the seventy-one soldiers had these symptoms, even Xiao Zhengtai was no exception. Xiao Zhengtai's expression was also very heavy. Even though cultivators could use their Soul Power s to wrap around their own bodies and use them as armor when they were fighting, his right hand was still scratched by the sharp claws while fighting against the huge wolf. Xiao Zhengtai's wrist was so red and swollen that he couldn't even wear a wrist guard anymore, let alone pick up his knife. Xiao Zhengtai's cultivation was higher than the other soldiers, he felt his body turning cold, and he could not help but to shiver a little. With difficulty, he was able to use the Soul Power to maintain his consciousness. He could not help but drink his wine and scold: Li Chang Shan, you stinking brat! Why didn't you come out earlier to save your father!

Drinking alcohol in such a condition was extremely harmful to the body. The army often used strong alcohol to numb the pain on the body. How could these men who had walked through mountains of corpses and oceans of blood possibly continue to drink strong alcohol to injure their bodies?

Good, good, good! As long as you don't die this time, I'll make my move earlier next time. Li Chang Zai was still smiling, but his expression was not too good. His smile looked extremely strange, with his left hand grabbing the bottle of wine from Xiao Zhengtai's hand, he placed his right hand on Xiao Zhengtai's forehead.

Do you really hope that your father will die soon? Pui! I'm in high spirits. Xiao Zhengtai spat, these soldiers kept the matter of life and death at their mouths, they did not mind at all. Which soldier didn't put his head on his belt all day? However, when it comes to death, one would still spit a few times out of habit, treating it as though the word 'death' one had just said was not counted. Xiao Zhengtai was actually not afraid of death, he was only afraid of being killed by a group of beasts like this. What kind of scene hadn't he seen before? In the future, if someone were to ask his son, "How did your father die?" Was he bitten to death by a wolf? Xiao Zhengtai secretly shook his head. He did not wish for himself to die in such a useless manner.

Li Chang Zai walked out of the tent, his face became extremely gloomy, but his young and handsome face still remained smiling. He did not know if these soldiers who had been bitten by wolves would die. Would it be contagious? He said in a firm tone, Now, all the men check themselves for wolf bites or scratches. If there are injuries, those who have been bitten or scratched by wolves must all gather together, and those who have died must immediately move out of the camp and burn and bury them.

Even though the soldier was heavily injured, Wei Grand Commandant still did not walk out of his tent.

Soon, the seventy-one people who were about to be bitten were placed in one area. The disease spread very fast, but fortunately, the disease wasn't contagious. Some of these people were already unconscious due to the high fever, and even began to twitch. The stubborn military doctor thought that all drugs were toxic, and he didn't know what poison these injuries were inflicted on them, so he didn't dare to rashly give out the prescription. He was afraid that the wrong prescription would cause the situation to worsen, but facing a large number of injured military doctors, he had no idea.

Seeing the wounds of the soldiers, Ming Prince Wu Ming heaved a sigh of relief. He didn't get bitten by any wolves yesterday, but he quickly asked Sun Xuanqing: "Sir, why are the injuries of these people so severe?

This type of wolf must have been fed poison since it was young, so any animal or human that was bitten by it would be infected with this poison. Sun Xuanqing took the chance to carefully examine their wounds. From his experience, he believed that they were symptoms of being infected by poison.

Feed poison? Why didn't these wolves die? Ming Prince Wu Ming felt that ever since he had brandished his sword, he had become completely ignorant of it. There were many times where he had always been asking questions, while Sun Xuanqing had always been able to answer questions for him.

They started feeding the pups a small amount of poison when they were young, and only increased the amount when they became used to it. This way, not only would the wolves raised would not be poisoned to death, but they would also carry some poison with them. Like some nobles in the palace, they would take a small amount of arsenic and gradually increase the dosage because they were used to it, so that they wouldn't die from the poison.

Will these soldiers die?

The army doctor was a pedantic man. He could cure these people by prescribing some antidotes, but that would not cure them. I still don't know what kind of poison they use to raise these wolves, so I can only give them something to drink. When he found the brush and paper, Sun Xuanqing quickly wrote a prescription. "I have seen a lot of these herbs in the mountains when I was here. I can order some people to pick some of them." As long as he could take it, he would be safe.

Couldn't he be better?

Only by knowing what poison these wolves were fed with would they be able to come up with a cure for their illness. This could only be known after Grand Commandant took down the Wild Wolf Camp.

In order to not attract attention, Ming Prince did not immediately give the prescription to the soldiers to consume. The military doctor did not manage to get a clue even in the afternoon. Seeing that the patients were getting more and more sick and helpless, Feng Jian took out the prescription Sun Xuanqing gave him and secretly found the Military Doctor, who was forced to give it a try. Luckily, the soldiers did not continue to get worse, as long as they did not continue to get worse, there was a possibility for them to improve. The army began to gather large amounts of herbs for the wounded to use. Since the prescription was a good method to clear away the heat and remove the poison, even the soldiers who weren't bitten by wolves drank a bowl each. The entire hillside was burning with firewood and was suffused with a strong smell of medicine.

In the evening, perhaps because of the relief from the injuries, the entire camp began to quiet down. Ming Prince Wu Ming was standing outside his own tent. He was very curious to see if those beasts called wild wolves would launch another sneak attack tonight. Ming Prince Wu Ming felt himself becoming distracted, a bad premonition surfaced in his heart. Just at this moment, with a pu sound, an ice cold arrow appeared in front of Ming Prince Wu Ming.

All sorts of disorderly shouts immediately sounded from the army camp: Protect His Highness Ming Prince!

Be careful of the assassin!
