Bro, who had recovered, seemed still dazed, as if he had lost a large part of his memory. Li Ge also examined his soul carefully and found it pitted and hollowed out, as if it had been eaten away by parasites, which was quite horrifying.
But this was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune. At least he still remembered most things, even though his soul was riddled with holes and he had forgotten many things, including his experience of dying once. But at least he was saved.
"It's alright, brother. Although you wanted to release the patient before, I know that wasn't your intention," Li Ge said to him. This moment left him still shaken.
"Who is it? A ghost?"
Then, Li Ge slowly emerged from his body, leaving only a phantom image with the Heavenly Revelation Wheel on its head. In that instant, his breathing became rapid, his heart pounded, and then... he fainted on the ground with a thud.
Li Ge: "..."
Forget it, I'll just ignore him.
“My adaptation can indeed adapt to the thirst for blood disease, but his soul is already riddled with holes, perhaps he himself doesn’t even know it, he’s forgotten many things. This kind of soul pollution is truly terrifying,” Li Ge said.
"Is it like a cavity? Even if you remove the worms, the cavity won't be fixed?" Xiaoye asked rhetorically.
“Yes, that’s right,” Li Ge said.
However, if Li Ge were to rely solely on possessing one body after another to clear away the thirst for blood disease, it would be far too slow.
So now, Li Ge wants to experiment with an even simpler method. But to be honest, this might take a lot of time, and time is exactly what they lack right now.
"I want to test whether people who have adapted to the blood-thirsty disease and returned to normal will be reinfected with it, and whether they have corresponding antibodies in their bodies or souls," Li Ge said directly.
Xiaoye was taken aback and asked, "Can people develop antibodies to this kind of soul pollution? How do you get tested?"
"I don't know either, so it's just a guess right now," Li Ge said.
For him, all the data on hemorrhagic disease has been obtained little by little through testing.
But soon he said, "I want to cure these people, as well as the other blood-thirsty soldiers in the principality who are not imprisoned. I still have the ability to cure them."
The Duchy's frontline soldiers are all at least Tier 1 elite level. Although their numbers are small, their quality is very high, unlike the Empire, which treats ordinary people as cannon fodder. The Duchy's soldiers follow an elite path, which may be why they have survived the Bloodthirst Disease longer than the Empire.
Soon, Li Ge discovered a problem. Among the people suffering from blood thirst, after he saved the first person, the others would instantly become hostile towards the cured individual, as if some kind of bullying code had been triggered.
This discovery intrigued Li Ge, so he quickly conducted several other tests and found that patients with blood thirst could indeed instantly sense that those who did not have blood thirst.
Perhaps in the eyes of blood-thirsty patients, normal people are some strange monsters, and they are all there to save normal people.
Within ten minutes, Li Ge had healed nearly a hundred people who had been imprisoned. Most of them had their souls riddled with holes, but this did not actually affect their original lives much. They might just be less resistant to illusions or mental attacks in the future, and more forgetful.
However, a small number of people had their souls almost completely devoured, reduced to ashes. Their vanished souls seemed to have been transformed into something else entirely...
In this situation, Li Ge is truly beyond saving.
After they recovered from the blood thirst disease, they seemed to have completely lost their souls, becoming like empty shells of zombies.
"Is this the soul that becomes a bloodthirsty monster?" Li Ge said.
Xiaoye could only sigh; they had already done their best.
Soon, Li Ge took out this remnant of the soul, until it was collected into a large pile of aggregated remnants.
“This thing might have antibodies against thirst disease,” Li Ge said.
These remnants were the strangest thing Li Ge sensed. Many people had clearly been completely eroded by the Blood Thirst Disease, the kind of thing that Li Ge found after possessing someone's body, only to discover in an instant that their souls were empty, devoid of anything. The Blood Thirst Disease had completely ravaged this place.
But precisely in this empty area, there remains this last trace of blood-thirsty disease that it can never eradicate.
These remnants are extremely small, like the ashes of a flame, but no matter how much the blood disease contaminates them, these last remnants are very difficult to erase and can only be slowly worn away bit by bit.
These remnants can hardly be called a soul anymore; they are more like the embers after the soul has burned out.
“So I think this thing might be effective against blood thirst disease,” Li Ge said. “I also have another guess: a soul riddled with holes is only the initial stage of blood thirst disease; the late stage is when the soul is burned out; and only after the last embers of the soul are extinguished will it become a blood thirst monster.”
Xiaoye nodded in agreement with this discovery.
Then, Xiaoye activated her Golden Eyes. In her field of vision, every blood-thirsty patient on the Duchy's side was within her sight. As long as she reported their locations one by one, Li Ge could instantly possess them and then use the Apocalypse Wheel, after adapting, to instantly eliminate the blood-thirsty disease from their bodies.
Soon, they cleared the area one by one and arrived at the front line.
The front lines were incredibly horrific, with corpses piling up at the city gate. Then, slowly, those bodies that had fallen, their heads bursting open like watermelons, began to slowly reassemble, eventually standing up again as new monsters.
Valerie was covered in blood, and she seemed to have gone mad with killing. The way she cleared away these bloodthirsty monsters made Li Ge feel like he was playing Fruit Ninja.
Li Ge didn't say much, but under Xiao Ye's guidance, he directly entered the body of a bloodthirsty monster.
Sure enough, there was nothing left in his soul; even the last embers of his soul seemed to have vanished.
The moment Li Ge left this body, the other bloodthirsty monsters around her immediately abandoned the city gate and the military formation in front of her, and attacked this body, which no longer had a soul but had also broken free from the bloodthirsty disease, like madmen.
Then, they easily tore it to pieces. Meanwhile, these blood-thirsty monsters, now freed from the blood-thirsty disease, no longer had the ability to revive after being torn apart.
Li Ge smiled too; this was the second way to completely kill the bloodthirsty monster.
But as I said before, relying on Li Ge to be possessed by ghosts one by one is just too inefficient.
Is there a more efficient way?
Yes, brothers!
Li Ge tried to attack the Bloodthirsty Patient with the embers of his soul that had been adapted by the Wheel of Revelation.
In that instant, the embers of the souls that had entered the soul body seemed to erupt in a final struggle, causing the blood thirst disease to run rampant in those souls that were originally hollow due to the blood thirst disease.
Li Ge didn't know what the Blood Thirst Disease was, but it was certainly not intelligent. This adapted ember seemed to them like some kind of intolerable "traitor," so in an instant, the Blood Thirst Disease reacted and all rushed into it.
This might be the same underlying logic as the Bloodthirsty Monster prioritizing attacks on units that have been cured of Bloodthirsty Disease.
Then, taking advantage of this opportunity, the blood-thirsty monster will be easily killed. Because at this moment, all the blood-thirsty disease has flooded into the remnants of the soul, and Li Ge only needs to use the Wheel of Revelation to purify the blood-thirsty disease in the remnants once again.
Furthermore, because it may itself be a product of the Apocalypse Wheel's adaptation, the remnants of the soul also have a high resistance to blood thirst disease.
The ground at the front line was covered with layers upon layers of corpses, the remains of bloodthirsty monsters mixed with the bodies of fallen soldiers, forming a bloody carpet of carnage. The air was thick with the stench of blood and decay.
"I have revealed the truth about blood thirst!" Li Ge said with a smile.
This sentence seemed to give these numb soldiers a glimmer of hope for victory.
"Give me some time, and I'll give each of you the ability to kill those with the Bloodthirst Disease," Li Ge said, then immediately added, "Xiao Ye, prepare some water!"
Xiaoye had no questions, and soon they arrived at a reservoir.
This reservoir, located near a stream in the valley, was used as a drinking water source for the troops stationed at the front. However, Xiaoye has now blocked off the area in contact with the stream, turning the reservoir into stagnant water.
Is this enough?
"enough!"
Li Ge completely submerged the collected soul fragments in the water.
Then I completely submerged myself in the water and began to adapt!
Soon, the soul remnants that were originally impossible to mix with water began to adapt and merge into the water under Li Ge's active guidance.
“Give it a try!” Li Ge said directly.
Xiaoye didn't hesitate either. She immediately immersed the short sword at her waist in water, then rushed to the front line and slashed into the head of the bloodthirsty monster. While the short sword was still embedded in the flesh, she used her shadow to tear it into pieces.
Then she hid in the shadows and waited quietly.
Ten minutes passed, then half an hour passed...
In this chaotic battlefield, the bloodthirsty monster that she had just killed using this method did not revive!
The bloodthirsty monster, which was originally torn to pieces, would have its shattered torso slowly wriggle back together like a slime with legs, and eventually reassemble itself, thus reviving.
But now, there's absolutely no sign of it!
Indeed, the soul can develop antibodies. Those remnants of the soul are the last struggle and counterattack of the human soul against the thirst for blood disease. Unfortunately, these antibodies come too late.
By the time antibodies appear, the body has already given up. And this last, unwilling remnant of the soul, like a lone army without any support, is slowly worn down by the blood-thirsty disease until it is completely eradicated, becoming one of that blood-thirsty monster.
But having undergone Li Ge's Apocalypse Wheel adaptation, this antibody will become the final weapon against the bloodthirsty monster!
"Everyone, come over here in batches and soak your weapons in water. Then you'll have the ability to kill the Bloodthirsty Monster!" Li Ge roared.
At that moment, all the soldiers shuddered as they felt the power emanating from within them.
That was the dawn of victory!
"Back row, raise your shields! Front row, step back! Immediately soak your weapons!" Uncle Saint Gluck roared.
"Be careful, weapons soaked in this water cannot be used indefinitely; they may need to be soaked again after a few uses. Also, while the weapon is piercing the monster's body, another person must sever its head and limbs to kill it!"
Li Ge kept giving instructions.
Even so, it's still very difficult to kill the Bloodthirsty Monster. The method is very complicated, but this is the best Li Ge can do, providing everyone with a method to kill the Bloodthirsty Monster.
Thus, under Uncle Saint Gluckiah's arrangement, each team was able to gradually soak their spears and greatswords in the water of souls.
And soon they learned that those bloodthirsty monsters would also die!
With just two people working together, one person plunges a weapon soaked in soul water into the bloodthirsty monster's body, while the other cuts off its head and severs its limbs, and the bloodthirsty monster will die instantly.
At this moment, morale soared.
Their despair and numbness stemmed from their perpetual battle against an undead horde of monsters.
But now, the immortal monsters had lost their divinity and could be killed like livestock. The previous resentment completely dissipated, transforming into anger and power.
Even more heartbreaking, the soldiers discovered that if a weapon soaked in the water of souls pierced the body of a bloodthirsty monster, without the need for another person's help, the other bloodthirsty monsters around would go berserk and prioritize attacking the bloodthirsty monster that had been infiltrated by the water of souls, tearing it to pieces.
This kind of stress at the low-level code level has ironically become their weapon!
Soon, stepping over the corpses, they recaptured the city gate and used the thousands of tons of refined iron to firmly block the dense horde of bloodthirsty monsters outside.
At this moment, Li Ge and Xiao Ye stood on the city wall, watching the soldiers cheering for victory, and the corners of their mouths turned up slightly.
"The bloodthirst disease prioritizes attacking its own kind that has already been cured, and then attacks other units that have not been infected with the bloodthirst disease. This is their underlying code. It is because of this underlying code that the bloodthirst disease can spread more easily," Li Ge said.
"Can the human soul itself adapt to blood thirst disease and thus develop antibodies?" Xiaoye asked.
“Yes, a long time ago, I heard a saying,” Li Ge said. “The human soul is like a spring. You can easily bend it, flatten it, make it unable to lift its head, or even crush it into thin sheets or grind it into powder.”
"However, this last bit of dust will unleash unparalleled resilience. No matter who it is, no matter how much you crush it, it will still stand tall, and no one can erase it."
"Even if it's a god?" Xiaoye asked.
“Even if it’s a god!” Li Ge replied.
"Perhaps the underlying code that makes bloodthirsty monsters prioritize attacking their own kind that have already been healed is to prevent this situation?"
