When the regional economic alliance of Shang State began to enter the second half of the negotiations, Demon Lord Dong Shu finally arrived in Shang State.
However, ever since Demon Lord Dong Shu discovered that there were sick people in the place where he and Bixia Yuanjun had fought, he began to fly towards the Shang Kingdom. It should have taken Demon Lord Dong Shu half a day to reach the Shang Kingdom with his level of cultivation. However, when passing by the borders of Hanwu Fairy Kingdom and Fuyao Fairy Kingdom, he discovered a large number of sick people!
This immediately aroused the curiosity and attention of Demon Lord Dong Shu. Demon Lord Dong Shu understood at a glance that the condition of these people was very similar to that of the 'patients' in Jiuyuan before.
So, the Demon Lord Dong Shu started to circle around the Shang State, and checked the patients carefully. He even transformed himself into a doctor (barefoot doctor) to treat some people.
After careful research, Demon Lord Dong Shu discovered that the illness of these people was the same as that in Jiuyuan; however, there were only two types of viruses causing the illness here, while there were more than a dozen types in Jiuyuan.
Then Dong Shu focused on checking the physical condition of the patients. Most of them had suffered varying degrees of damage to their bodies, but their souls and cultivation were intact. However, no one was willing to give up their bodies.
This new disease is very strange, it looks like poisoning, but it is not poisoning; it looks like witchcraft, but it is not witchcraft. Instead, it is more like a physical mutation.
The Shang Kingdom has generally accepted the concept of viruses, but Dong Shu Mojun still doesn't quite understand this existence. Viruses are something between life and non-life, so they look like poisoning, but they are not poisoning; and the reproduction of the virus itself and the damage it causes to the body make the patient look like a physical mutation.
This sudden outbreak of the virus caught the fairy world off guard.
Those with rich family backgrounds temporarily used Peiyuan Dan and other elixirs to maintain their lives; but those who did not have enough wealth had already suffered greatly, and their bodies had been damaged to the point of being almost withered and decayed.
What would happen if the number of viruses in the body exceeded the number of cells? If it were a mortal, he would have died long ago, and his body would have turned into ashes—no, it would have turned into a thick fog of viruses flying all over the sky. In fact, when the number of viruses in the body exceeds one thousandth of the number of cells, I am afraid that the person will not be able to survive.
But immortals are immortals after all. Even if the virus occupies half of their bodies, they can still maintain their lives. It's just... too hard and too wasteful. It's hard work, but as for the waste, it's all supported by the pills that strengthen the body and nourish the essence.
Demon Lord Dong Shu circled around the Shang Kingdom and conducted an investigation, and finally determined the damage capability of this new method.
If it was just an ordinary virus, it wouldn't be so powerful. There are two main reasons for this situation. The first is, of course, that the biochemical virus of Shang is too powerful. The virus can cultivate, and even the gods can't stop it; the second is that the fairy world and the heaven have never had viruses targeting practitioners, and everyone is not prepared, whether it is consciousness, the body's immune system, or even the skills, elixirs, etc.
The combination of the two caused horrific killing power. The so-called plague was nothing more than this.
