Chapter 188 Upgrading the Thunder Dragon Armguards
After giving the information he had gathered to Leng Qing at the West City Fortress, Leng Qing obtained identity documents for Mo Fan and Lingling so they could enter the West City Fortress and follow the batch of blood serum that was being transported into the fortress.
Not long after Mo Fan and Lingling arrived at the West City Fortress, Chief Judge Li Tian summoned Zhu Meng, Tang Zhong, Luo Mian, and Yun Feng, the military commander guarding the fortress, to the West City Fortress's conference room. As soon as they entered the conference room, Zhu Meng frowned and asked, "Chief Judge Li Tian, the White Demon Eagles have launched a large-scale invasion, and we are preparing for war. Why have you called us to the conference room?"
"Have any of you considered why the usually calm White Demon Eagle would recklessly attack the West City Fortress?" Judge Li Tian did not answer Zhu Meng's question, but instead posed another one.
"It's common knowledge that high-level demons are intelligent. It seems they intend to take advantage of the large number of people in Song City infected with the plague, which greatly weakens their fighting capacity, to breach the West City Fortress and storm into Song City to slaughter the people," Military Commander Yun Feng stated his opinion.
Faced with Military Commander Yun Feng's answer, Judge Li Tian shook his head and then nodded, which made Zhu Meng extremely anxious.
"Chief Judge Li Tian, if you know anything, just say so. Don't keep me in suspense," Zhu Meng said.
"Yes, Li Tian, you should just say it directly," Tang Zhong also said.
Judge Li Tian took out a bag of blood serum and said solemnly, "My subordinate Leng Qing has learned the truth about this plague from several young and accomplished mages. This plague is not a natural disaster, but a man-made one!!!"
Judge Li Tian's words echoed in the conference room. Tang Zhong, Zhu Meng, and Military Commander Yun Feng were all astonished. Luo Mian's eyes flashed with anger. He did not expect that the problem with the blood serum would be found out so quickly. Were Wang Yi and the others just sitting around doing nothing?
"Chief Judge Li Tian, what do you mean by that?" Military Commander Yun Feng asked in surprise.
"As you all know, the news from the Ninth Outpost indicates that the disease outbreak in the West City Fortress was caused by the Lingzhao Plague Rat that was recently brought in. The plague outbreak in Song City was caused by this blood serum. The foreign blood in the serum was replaced with the diseased blood of the Lingzhao Plague Rat. When the serum is used, the diseased blood will break out in the human body, causing the plague."
Just as Judge Li Tian was about to continue speaking, he was interrupted. Luo Mian stroked his beard and said, "Judge Li Tian, the most important thing now is how to defeat the White Demon Eagle, not to waste time on the plague."
It has to be said that Luo Mian is a real old fox. Even after all this, Li Tian didn't see a trace of panic in his eyes.
However, the chances of bringing down Luo Mian, whom he suspected, with just the problematic blood serum were extremely slim. Judge Li Tian glanced at Luo Mian and sneered, "You all don't know this, but the reason why the White Demon Eagles launched a full-scale attack on our West City Fortress was because of the plague."
"The Lingzhao Plague Rat is the White Demon Eagle's favorite food because the diseased blood in the Lingzhao Plague Rat can enhance the White Demon Eagle's bloodline. Therefore, once the White Demon Eagle smells the blood of the Lingzhao Plague Rat, it will frantically hunt it down. Since so many people in our Song City are infected with the plague, their blood contains the diseased blood of the Lingzhao Plague Rat. Therefore, the White Demon Eagle treats those infected people as Lingzhao Plague Rats. I don't need to say more, right?"
The people in the conference room were utterly shocked. They never expected that the reason for the White Demon Eagle's attack on the West City Fortress was like this. What angered them the most was the person who had stolen the blood serum and replaced it with the blood of the infected. If it weren't for him, Song City wouldn't have been plagued, and the West City Fortress wouldn't have been attacked by the White Demon Eagle.
"Now that the source of the plague has been found, is there a way to end it as soon as possible?" Military Commander Yunfeng asked.
Judge Li Tian nodded and said, "Yes, your men are already on their way to find the antidote. As for what the antidote is, I can't say for now, since it's a matter of great importance. It would be terrible if someone found out and sabotaged it."
"Yes." Tang Zhong and Yun Feng both nodded.
Those who have risen to their level are no ordinary people. Just by replacing the abnormal blood in blood potions with diseased blood and selling it on a large scale, one can guess that there must be corrupt officials in the higher echelons of the Magic Association or the Inquisition, and their positions must not be low.
After the meeting, Tang Zhong, Zhu Meng, Yun Feng, Li Tian, and others went to arrange their own work, while Luo Mian pretended to visit the wounded soldiers.

Inside a cave in Baishan, Jiang Han was sitting cross-legged at the entrance, meditating. He had only woken up from his coma the night before, but a large amount of lightning power remained in his body. If he didn't get rid of the lightning power, the damage to his body would not be able to recover.
To help Jiang Han recover from his disappearance as quickly as possible, the Thunder Pearl from the system shop was recommended. The Thunder Pearl could allow the Thunder Dragon Armguard to undergo a transformation. After the transformation, the Thunder Dragon Armguard could not only store more energy, but the skills it released would also become two high-level Thunder Death Rays and a super-level Thunder Ring Punishment. However, it would take a lot of energy stored in the transformed Thunder Dragon Armguard to release Thunder Ring Punishment once.
Most importantly, after the Thunder Dragon Armguards transform, they can absorb the raging thunderous power flowing within the body into the Thunder Dragon Armguards.
The price of the Heavenly Thunder Pearl in the system shop is a bit expensive, almost enough to clear out most of his system points. Jiang Han sometimes wonders if Xiao Shi is deliberately ripping off his system points.
However, Jiang Han gritted his teeth and spent a huge sum of money to buy the Heavenly Thunder Pearl. His body's lightning resistance had reached 5% after such a long time. Continuing would not improve his lightning resistance much. To put it bluntly, the lightning power of the Nine Commandments Punishment was not good enough. If it were the lightning he had experienced during his previous "tribulation", he and the Xuan Snake would have been reduced to dust.
"Ding, Thunder Dragon Armguards upgraded." The little master's voice rang in Jiang Han's mind.
Upon hearing the little master's prompt, Jiang Han slowly opened his eyes. The thunder dragon arm guard on his left arm appeared. Jiang Han felt that the thunder dragon on the arm guard seemed to have gained a trace of sentience. Strands of violent thunder power began to be drawn out of his body, and the pain became more and more obvious. When the violent thunder power was completely drawn out, Jiang Han directly spat out a mouthful of blood.
When the violent lightning power raged within his body, a peculiar force gradually eroded it, temporarily suppressing the injuries. However, once the violent lightning power was completely withdrawn, that peculiar force also disappeared, which is why Jiang Han coughed up a mouthful of blood when his injuries flared up.
Hearing the commotion inside the cave, Tang Yue rushed in. Upon seeing Jiang Han covered in blood, she panicked and hugged him, saying, "Jiang Han, what happened to you? Don't scare me."
As Tang Yue spoke, her eyes began to redden. Seeing that Tang Yue was about to cry, Jiang Han weakly said, "It's okay."
"You've vomited blood and you say you're fine, but I don't have any healing potions on me! What do I do?! What do I do?!"
Tang Yue was in a state of utter confusion. Without healing potions, Jiang Han's life was in danger. Just as Tang Yue was wondering what to do, a small, greenish-blue sprite flew out in front of her and landed on Jiang Han's head, continuously scattering green light. As the green light fell, Jiang Han's external wounds began to slowly heal.
"This...this is a healing spirit using healing magic??" Tang Yue said, somewhat surprised.
While Tang Yue was still in surprise, Jiang Han kissed her alluring red lips. You know, after being unconscious for so long, she was a little hungry and wanted some meat. After noticing Jiang Han's increasingly intense gaze, Tang Yue quickly got up and said, "You're not fully recovered yet, let's talk about it when you're better."
Jiang Han sighed as he watched Tang Yue leave. Then, under the healing elf's care, he recovered from his injuries. In addition to his external wounds, Jiang Han also had some serious internal injuries, so his recovery was not troublesome.
