Chapter 817: A Plan to Lure the Enemy
Li Yang nodded:
"Yes... maybe these monsters have this parasite in their bodies."
"They can survive even if their host dies."
Zhang Hui took a breath:
"Wouldn't that mean..."
"If we don't dispose of these corpses thoroughly," Li Yang said solemnly,
"These parasites are likely to spread and infect more organisms."
Yunyouzi's face became extremely serious:
"In this way, even if the man in black robe temporarily retreats, his conspiracy may continue."
The three of them looked at each other and saw solemnity in each other's eyes.
At this moment, Zhou Mu hurried over with a group of soldiers.
"Three immortals."
Zhou Mu looked anxious.
"A few more monster corpses were just discovered outside the city... I don't know what to do with them?"
Yun Youzi took a deep breath and said:
"Lord Zhou Mu, the situation is more serious than we thought."
"It's best to take immediate action and clean up these bodies."
Although Zhou Mu didn't know what was going on, he still nodded and said:
"Everything depends on the instructions of the three immortals."
Yun Youzi turned to Li Yang and Zhang Hui:
"You two, let's split up."
"One is responsible for searching for the remaining monster corpses, and the other is responsible for researching how to completely eliminate these parasites."
Li Yang and Zhang Hui nodded in response.
Yun Youzi said to Zhou Mu again:
"In addition, I also ask Master Zhou Mu to order a thorough investigation of the entire city. If anything suspicious is found, report it immediately."
Zhou Mu nodded solemnly:
"I'll go and make arrangements right now."
Just like that, a complete cleanup operation began.
In the next few days, the whole city became busy.
The soldiers searched everywhere for possible missing monster corpses, while the people reminded each other to pay attention to abnormal situations around them.
Li Yang led a team of people and carefully searched every corner.
They not only have to find all the monster corpses, but also make sure there are no living monsters hiding in the city.
At the same time, Zhang Hui was busy in a side room of the state government office.
He used his knowledge of toxicology to constantly try various methods, hoping to find a way to completely eliminate those parasites.
Yunyouzi was running around, coordinating the actions of all parties, and thinking about how to prevent similar incidents from happening again.
Finally, on the evening of the fifth day, Li Yang came back with the last monster corpse.
"Barely..." he said to Yun Youzi who was pacing in the yard.
"All the bodies have been found."
Yunyouzi nodded:
"Thank you for your hard work, little friend. How is the situation with Zhang Hui?"
Just as he was talking, Zhang Hui also walked out of the side room.
There was fatigue on his face, but excitement shone in his eyes:
"Good news."
"If nothing else, I think I have found a way to eliminate those parasites."
Yun Youzi and Li Yang both looked happy.
Zhang Hui continued to explain:
"Although these parasites are tenacious, they are extremely afraid of high temperatures."
"As long as the temperature is raised to a certain level, they can be completely killed."
"Then how exactly should it be done?"
Li Yang asked.
Zhang Hui said:
"I have prepared a special potion. As long as this potion is applied to the corpse, it will prevent the parasites from leaving the body."
"We gather the bodies together, set them on fire, and burn them all!"
Yunyouzi nodded:
"That's fine, let's start taking action now."
So, the three of them took the medicine prepared by Zhang Hui to an open space outside the city.
Under the arrangement of Zhou Mu, all the monster corpses were transported here.
Zhang Hui carefully applied the medicine to each corpse.
After finishing, he took a few steps back, took a deep breath, and said:
"Ready."
Yun Youzi nodded, raised his hand and shot out a flame.
"boom!"
With a loud noise, all the corpses burned at the same time.
Raging fire soared into the sky, lighting up the entire night sky.
The three of them stood in front of the fire, watching the corpses of the monsters that had once caused panic gradually turn into ashes.
"It's finally over."
Zhang Hui breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Yang shook his head:
"I'm afraid it's still early."
Yunyouzi nodded in agreement:
"That's right... Although this crisis has been temporarily resolved, the man in black robe obviously won't let it go."
"We must find a way to stop his conspiracy once and for all."
"But..." Zhang Hui said doubtfully,
"We don't even know who he is, so how can we stop him?"
Li Yang thought for a moment and suddenly said:
"Maybe... we should take the initiative."
Yun Youzi and Zhang Hui both looked at him.
Li Yang explained:
"Since the man in black robes can travel through time and space, can we too?"
Yun Youzi thoughtfully said: "You mean..."
Li Yang nodded:
"Whatever that guy wants to do, he clearly has what we need."
"Maybe we can use this to go back to our own time."
"From this, we should take the initiative to design and try to capture that guy."
Yunyouzi thought for a moment, nodded slowly and said:
"Little friend Li Yang is right."
"Passive defense is not a long-term solution after all. We should really take the initiative."
Zhang Hui hesitated:
"But...how do we lure the man in black robes to show up?"
"He is so elusive that we can't even keep track of his whereabouts."
Li Yang smiled slightly:
"It's not difficult."
"The black-robed man's attack is nothing more than an attempt to sow the seeds of chaos in this era."
"In that case, why don't we treat others the same way they treat others?"
Yunyouzi's eyes lit up:
"What I mean is..."
Li Yang nodded and said:
"Yes... we can deliberately create some 'visions' to attract the attention of the man in black robes."
"When he shows up to investigate, we can take advantage of the situation and set a trap to capture him."
After Zhang Hui heard this, he couldn't help but clapped his hands and applauded:
"Wonderful! This way, we can take the initiative."
Yun Youzi muttered:
"This plan really works."
"However, we still need to consider one issue..."
"With our capabilities, how can we create a 'vision' that is enough to attract the man in black robes without affecting this era?"
The three of them fell into deep thought.
After a moment, Li Yang suddenly said:
"I do have an idea, we can use the Golden Crow relic."
Hearing this, Yun Youzi couldn't help but be startled:
"Golden Crow relic? You mean..."
Li Yang explained:
"That's right...although that jade pendant is not of high grade, it was transformed from the Golden Crow after all."
"We can use its characteristics to create some illusions like an 'invasion from another world' in a specific location."
Zhang Hui's eyes lit up:
"This is a good idea! The man in black robe will definitely be interested in this 'vision'."
Yunyouzi nodded in agreement:
"Indeed, if you use the Golden Crow relic, even if it is discovered by people of this era, it will not cause too much panic."
"After all, in their eyes, this is just an 'immortal magic weapon' whose provenance can be traced..."
