Douluo Continent: Reincarnated as Buyer, Creating the Terrifying Sumeru

Demon scale disease?

Dead Zone?

Two completely unfamiliar words, like two heavy hammer blows, slammed into the minds of Liu Erlong, Flander, and Zhao Wuji, leaving them completely blank.

What the heck?

The three looked at each other, each seeing a clear sense of bewilderment in the other's eyes.

"What...domain?"

"What illness?"

After exchanging a clear look, Liu Erlong looked at Yao Qing and subconsciously asked.

Simultaneously.

Flander and Zhao Wuji also looked at Yao Qing with blank expressions.

They wouldn't dare say they know everything about the mainland, but they are certainly well-informed.

but……

What is this Demon Scale Disease? What is this Dead Zone? What is this thing?

This is unheard of!

"May I ask, Dean Yao, what... is this Dead Zone?"

After a full two and a half minutes of silence, Flander finally spoke, asking, "What is Demon Scale Disease?"

"Cover the person up first."

Because of the two steps she had taken back earlier, Yao Qing was now completely outside the meeting room. She frowned, looking warily at Yu Xiaogang, who was wrapped up, and said in a deep voice.

"this……"

Liu Erlong hesitated, but Zhao Wuji couldn't stand the stench. He snatched the sheet from her hand and covered Yu Xiaogang with it again.

Seeing this, Yao Qing finally let out a long sigh of relief, but still did not enter the waiting room. "It seems that you know nothing about the current situation in Sunset Forest."

talking.

She took out three brand-new booklets from her soul tool and handed them over. The three of them subconsciously took them. The booklets were the same "Sunset Forest Survival Manual" that they had seen from Li Yusong earlier.

of course.

Compared to Li Yusong's book, the one Yao Qing had had a newer cover and still smelled of printing, indicating that it had just been printed not long ago.

"Dean Yao, what's this?"

Flander hesitated for a moment, "May I ask about Demonscale Disease? What exactly is the Dead Zone?"

Liu Erlong, who was standing nearby, quickly added, "Yes, Dean Yao, please tell us, what exactly is this?"

"Is there any hope for Xiao Gang?"

Seeing her anxious expression, Yao Qing sighed and patiently explained, pointing to Yu Xiaogang on the stretcher, "What he has on his arm is called 'Demon Scale Disease,' an irreversible and unknown type of physical deformity."

"Calling it an illness isn't entirely accurate, because it's essentially a deformity or mutation caused by some kind of stimulus to the body, and it's a mutation of unknown origin."

"The root cause of this disease is a forbidden area in Sunset Forest known as the 'Dead Zone'."

After a pause, Yao Qing said, "The Dead Zone is what you see there, the area where all the plants have turned grayish-black."

"Within the dead zone, a terrifying pollution permeates everything."

"Under normal circumstances, as long as you don't actively touch the plants in this dead zone, you will basically be fine. At most, your soul power will be disrupted."

"Someone like him... must have had direct physical contact with the 'plants' in the dead zone, otherwise he couldn't have been infected so quickly."

Her few words accurately reflected all of Yu Xiaogang's previous experiences.

Upon hearing this...

Flander's face immediately turned extremely ugly, because... every single word of it was true!

Liu Erlong almost collapsed to the ground. She should have listened to Flander and not let Yu Xiaogang touch that thing!

"Then...how do we treat it?"

As if struck by a sudden thought, Liu Erlong grasped at the last glimmer of hope and asked in a trembling voice, "Dean Yao, since you know the cause of the illness, you must have a way to treat it, right?"

However, Yao Qing's next words plunged her into despair.

"Feel sorry."

Yao Qing slowly shook her head, a hint of pity in her eyes, "There is currently no cure for Demon Scale Disease."

"impossible!"

Liu Erlong screamed, "How can there be an incurable disease in the world? This…"

"We contacted the Soul Master of the Nine-Hearted Begonia, she..."

"Nine-Heart Begonia?"

Yao Qing interrupted her, her tone carrying a hint of indifference and self-righteousness, "I said, there is currently no cure for Demon Scale Disease."

She paused, then explained further: "You need to understand that this is an unknown aberration originating from the very foundation of the body."

"Admittedly, the Nine-Hearted Begonia is the strongest healing-type martial soul, but this cannot be considered an injury at all!"

"Using Begonia 'Nine Hearts' to treat it will only stimulate its growth and may even cause a backlash."

As she spoke, Yao Qing's gaze sharpened as she stared at Liu Erlong before her. Suddenly, she laughed and said, "If we're not mistaken, you must have sought out the physician of the Nine-Heart Begonia, and that Ye family soul master suffered a backlash, right?"

Flander and Zhao Wuji's pupils dilated in shock!

How did she know?!

Liu Erlong exclaimed in surprise, "How...how did you know?"

"So what do you think...?"

Yao Qing chuckled, pointed to the "Sunset Forest Survival Handbook" in the hands of the three, and instead of answering, asked, "How did I write this handbook?"

The three were speechless.

"Then... what should we do now?"

After a long silence, Liu Erlong spoke, his voice trembling, "Dean Yao, you...you must have a way, right?"

Yao Qing paused for a moment.

Then, she glanced at Yu Xiaogang.

Although her arms were covered by a sheet, it was only her arms.

Currently, the gray-black scales have spread across the entire shoulder, and a large, deformed tumor resembling a skull has even grown on the shoulder, covered with gray-black scales.

From a distance, it looks like it has an extra head, but the scales on it are so ugly they make your scalp crawl.

Even a normal child would probably be terrified and have nightmares if they saw this scene.

It's too grotesque, too disgusting, too ugly!

Even though she was already outside the waiting room, Yao Qing couldn't help but take a half step back upon seeing this scene.

Even if it was her.

This is the first time I've ever seen Demon Scale Disease in such an abnormal state!

Taking a deep breath, Yao Qing looked at the three of them and said, "A solution..."

"Actually, it's not that there aren't any!"

Upon hearing this...

The three of them were simultaneously startled, almost instantly looking up abruptly, "What!?"

Meeting the gazes of the three, Yao Qing slowly spoke, "It's just... I don't know if you're willing."

"But...it might not work!"

"What method?!"

Like a drowning man grabbing onto a piece of driftwood, Liu Erlong suddenly looked up, a glimmer of hope rekindling in his eyes, "We're willing to try anything to help Xiaogang get better!"

"Yes, yes, Dean Yao, whatever the method, please tell me!"

Flanders quickly echoed, his heart pounding in his chest.

Zhao Wuji was also quite curious.

I just heard Yao Qing say that this disease is incurable, but now that I see it... it seems like there is a solution?

Is it that the left brain is attacking the right brain, engaging in a free-for-all between them?

however.

When Yao Qing spoke again, Zhao Wuji was stunned!

All that was heard was Yao Qing's light, airy voice, "The whole arm..."

"Chop it up!"

"What!?"

Zhao Wuji, who had just been wondering if Yao Qing was trying to extort money from him, widened his eyes and gasped upon hearing this, "Chop off the whole arm?"

Are you kidding me?

In the Douluo Continent, once a Soul Master loses an arm or a leg, to some extent, it is impossible to recover.

Just like now.

The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex clan was wiped out, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was severely damaged.

Zhao Wuji had seen Sword Douluo Chen Xin before, and he was still in the state of having a missing arm.

Obviously.

Even the incredibly wealthy Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was helpless against this severed arm!

If Yu Xiaogang's arm were chopped off, then... it would be even more irreversible!

"What did you say?"

After Yao Qing uttered the word "chopped off," the three people in the waiting room were all stunned!

Especially Liu Erlong!

The glimmer of hope that had previously appeared on his face froze instantly!

The thought that Flander and Zhao Wuji had earlier had that Yao Qing might be trying to blackmail them was instantly extinguished, replaced by... utter bewilderment!

No!

What kind of solution is this?!

"What...what did you say?"

Liu Erlong stammered, somewhat unable to believe his ears.

Chop it up?

How can this be considered a solution?

"You mean...chopped it up?"

"That's right."

Yao Qing nodded. "Your friend's situation is a stroke of luck amidst misfortune."

"All the deformities and abnormal lesions are concentrated in the arm area."

"Now, before it spreads to the heart, we should chop off the entire arm with one stroke and seal the wound with our soul power. That might save our lives."

She paused, then added, "Of course, this method currently only exists in the theoretical stage."

"Most of the patients with scaly disease I've seen have distributed lesions, making this kind of procedure impossible."

"So whether it can be cured completely, I'm not really sure."

As she spoke, her gaze swept over Flander and Liu Erlong, who seemed hesitant, knowing that these two were the ones who would make the decision. She added, "However, if you're going to make a decision, please do so as soon as possible!"

"Once this demonic scale disease spreads to the heart or brain, then there's really nothing you can do but wait to die."

Upon hearing this,

Flander and Liu Erlong's expressions both froze, and they looked at each other, both hesitant for a moment!

at the moment.

Because of Tang San's ninth-grade purple fungus, Yu Xiaogang was able to break free from the shackles of his life and successfully cultivate to the level of Soul Master, which is over forty.

But what if this really meant chopping off the entire arm?

Then it's likely that Yu Xiaogang will be stuck at this point in his life and unable to advance any further!

For Yu Xiaogang, this was worse than death!

Can……

If we don't save her, it's a life at stake!

"Second Sister, how about we..."

After hesitating for a full two and a half minutes, Flander looked up at Liu Erlong, whose expression was uncertain. He tentatively began to speak, but upon seeing the murderous glint in Liu Erlong's eyes, he ultimately swallowed his words and weakly said, "After all, life is more important!"

"Moreover, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex clan is now extinct, and the martial spirit still needs to be passed down through your inheritance..."
