Chapter 125

He Zhiran did not know the reason why Mo Jiuye stopped her from taking action, but she obediently did not move.

Mo Jiuye naturally wanted to keep that man in black alive.

She could also see that Mo Jiuye had been evading all along. Even though the other side's moves were lethal, he had no intention of fighting back.

In order not to put Mo Jiuye in danger, she decisively switched her crossbow arrow to a tranquilizer gun.

She aimed at the left shoulder of the man in black and fired with a "bang". The man in black swayed and fell backward.

Mo Jiuye dashed forward in a flash, grabbed the arms of the man in black, gently put him on the ground, and at the same time, reached out to uncover his mask.

Seeing this familiar face, the eyes of this strapping man began to well up.

"Eighth Brother, it really is you, you are still alive..."

Upon hearing this, He Zhiran hurriedly walked over, her eyes full of incredulity.

"This person is your eighth brother?"

Mo Jiuye nodded with difficulty: "When I fought with him just now, I realized that his moves seemed familiar. So while fighting, I tried to probe, and I can completely confirm that the martial arts he used came from the Mo Family.

I don't know why, when I asked who he was, it was as if he didn't hear me at all. He kept attacking me like a puppet without any reaction."

Hearing this, He Zhiran reached out and took Mo Chuhan's pulse. Her frown grew tighter and tighter.

Mo Jiuye stared closely at He Zhiran's expression. f𝚛e𝐞𝐰𝚎b𝚗o𝚟𝚎l.c𝗼m

"What exactly happened to Eighth Brother?"

He Zhiran slowly stood up: "His pulse is very strange. I can't determine the specifics now. I need to take him into the space and use those medical devices to check before I know more."

Mo Jiuye looked deeply into He Zhiran's eyes, his tone pleading,

"I beg you, you must save Eighth Brother. Eighth Brother is upright and will not reveal the secrets of your space."

He Zhiran was not worried that the space would be exposed at all.

When she diagnosed Mo Chuhan's pulse just now, she could roughly determine one thing - this person should have lost his self-awareness.

Besides, she could completely use some drugs to control Mo Chuhan and prevent him from regaining consciousness before leaving the space.

"That's no problem. As long as you want, I can take him into the space to check at any time." As she spoke, with a wave of He Zhiran's hand, Mo Chuhan instantly disappeared on the spot.

At this time, Liang Hao and the others had also returned. Seeing the corpses of the men in black on the ground, they knew Mo Jiuye was no longer in danger here.

"Ninth Master, none of those men were kept alive."

"Um, thanks for your hard work." Mo Jiyue just absentmindedly responded. Then he pulled He Zhiran toward the team.

Liang Hao and the others tactfully returned to their original positions.

The Mo Family women were worried about He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye's safety, and they still remained in position gripping their guns. They came over to greet them.

Seeing both of them return safely, they let out of sigh of relief.

The second sister-in-law angrily scolded: "I really don't know what these people want to do. Our Mo Family has already declined to the point of exile, yet they still want to kill us."

This time, the other sister-in-laws didn't remain silent as usual. Following the second sister-in-law's words, they continued to curse those who wanted to harm Mo Jiuye.

He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye knew the sister-in-laws were upset in their hearts and did not stop their behavior.

On their way back, they had already discussed that He Zhiran would pretend to sprain her ankle, then use it as an excuse to ride in the mule cart, so she would have a chance to enter the space and help treat Mo Chuhan.

So after walking out several meters away, He Zhiran deliberately stepped on a rock.

"Ow..."

Mo Jiuye rushed forward to support her. "What's wrong?"

"I sprained my ankle a little."

Just as the sister-in-laws were about to come over to show concern, Mo Jiuye suddenly picked He Zhiran up in his arms.

"Go back and tell Peng Wang that you will ride in the mule cart to travel today."

Mo Jiuye strode away quickly, soon leaving the sister-in-laws behind.

Back at the camp, after Mo Jiuye explained the situation to Peng Wang, he carried He Zhiran onto the mule cart.

Peng Wang came over again to inquire about the situation. Knowing the matter was resolved, he began to arrange the journey to continue.

After He Zhiran entered the compartment, she immediately flashed into the space.

Even though Mo Jiuye was anxious about Eighth Brother's condition, he couldn't follow He Zhiran into the space. His current task was to drive the mule cart.

Upon entering the space, He Zhiran gave Mo Chuhan a full examination.

The result shocked her tremendously.

Mo Chuhan's condition was actually caused by Gu poison!

This was no trivial matter. She immediately came out of the space and told Mo Jiuye about the diagnosis results of Mo Chuhan.

Mo Jiuye was equally surprised. He had also heard about Gu poison, but it was rarely seen in the Da Shun Dynasty, so he had only heard about it and never seen it with his own eyes.

He couldn't figure out why Eighth Brother was poisoned by Gu.

"Can you determine what kind of Gu poison is in his body?"

In her previous life, He Zhiran had read some books about Gu poison in the Miao areas. Based on the scan just now, she could roughly make out the shape of the Gu worm.

"According to Eighth Brother's symptoms and the shape of the Gu worm, I can preliminarily determine that he is infected with Puppet Gu."

"Puppet Gu?"

He Zhiran nodded, "Yes, this is my initial judgment. To truly confirm it, I want to buy a related book for reference."

After speaking, she used her mind to purchase a book called The Compendium of Gu Poison.

The mule cart that Mo Jiuye was driving moved at the same speed as the rest of the team on foot. He Zhiran simply sat on the edge of the cart compartment, holding the book for Mo Jiuye to look over together.

Considering that Mo Jiuye couldn't recognize simplified Chinese characters, after flipping to the page describing Puppet Gu, He Zhiran read it out softly for him to listen, while taking out the images from the space scan of Mo Chuhan earlier for comparison.

Sure enough, the Gu worm in the images completely matched the picture in the book.

The book also introduced that Puppet Gu survives in the host's body at the axillary artery of the arm, relying on the host's blood to sustain its life.

There is one mother Gu worm and multiple child Gu worms.

There is only one mother Gu worm, held in the hands of the controller. The number of child Gu worms is unlimited. The one who carries the child Gu in the body loses autonomous consciousness, with all behaviors determined by the mother Gu controller.

Moreover, the controller obtains the survival status of the child Gu carrier based on the condition of the mother Gu in hand.

That is to say, once the child Gu carrier dies, the mother Gu will instinctively summon the child Gu back.

Mo Jiuye frowned.

"As far as I know, Gu breeders are all in the southern border areas. To remove Eighth Brother's Gu worm, we still have to find a way when we go there."

He had already decided that as long as He Zhiran could preserve Eighth Brother's life for now, after arriving in the northwest as free people, he would immediately set off for the southern border with Eighth Brother to remove his Gu poison.

He Zhiran smiled faintly, "Why haven't you asked if I can remove the Gu poison?"

He was very clear about He Zhiran's superb medical skills. But after all, what was in Eighth Brother was a Gu worm, and there was no one in the entire Da Shun Dynasty who knew Gu techniques. Mo Jiuye hadn't thought of her at all.

Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows, somewhat uncertain as he asked, "You can remove Gu poison?"

He Zhiran nodded, "I should be able to, but I need your cooperation."

"That's no problem. If Eighth Brother has no major issues with his body, let's go into your space together tonight to operate."
