The Good-for-Nothing Seventh Miss Chapter 716 - Crisis (2)

Chapter 716: Crisis (2)

Qi Xia, Li Xiaowei, Yan Yu, Vermilion Bird and the two Phoenixes were dispatched to various areas of the city to care for the sick. However, they were unable to identify the underlying reason for their odd symptoms. After Jiu Shu and Yan Yu examined their conditions, they suspected that everyone had either been poisoned by a detrimental potion or they had been inflicted with a curse. As a result, they could only look for Shen Yanxiao.
Shen Yanxiao furrowed her brows and examined Du Lang’s condition.
The battle aura inside of Du Lang was very chaotic, as it frantically crashed all around his meridians. However, Shen Yanxiao sensed something extremely familiar in the chaos.
A corrosive curse!
Shen Yanxiao’s expression instantly turned gloomy and she quickly checked up on the other six wolves’ condition soon after. She came to a conclusion that all their symptoms were exactly the same as Du Lang!
“It seems like someone has done the same thing as I did.” Shen Yanxiao sneered.
“What do you mean?” Yang Xi and Tang Nazhi were slightly stunned.
“Ah Xi, do you remember the tricks I used in Saint Laurent Academy to deal with Luo Fang and Shangguan Xiao?” she asked.
“A detrimental potion coupled with curses… you are saying that someone did that to the people of the city? But how is that possible? There were no strangers that had appeared in the city for the past few days and even if they had the intentions, it was impossible for them to accomplish this feat of harming everyone without arousing any suspicions.” Yang Xi found something amiss. If someone had secretly committed the act, it was impossible that no one had realized anything. It was reasonable that the slaves had not detected anything as they were powerless in the first place. However, the seven wolves were at advanced levels, so it was absolutely impossible for someone to cast a curse or poison them without them realizing it.
Unless the opponent was an expert who had their second class promotion, otherwise it was impossible for all the citizens of the city to fall sick at the same time
“I have never misdiagnosed any patient. The condition of Du Lang and the others are more or less similar to Luo Fang and Shangguan Xiao in the past. The only discrepancy is that the poison and curse are not yet deeply rooted, but this type of poison and curse… I am unable to identify it.” Shen Yanxiao’s expression was extremely ugly. Right now, she was already an Advanced Herbalist and Warlock and yet, she was unable to identify the potion and the curse. That would mean that the potion was made by a Great Herbalist at the very least and as for the curse….
It was probably a curse that someone who was at least a Summoner could cast. Otherwise, she would not possibly have no leads.
“You are unable to identify it?” Yang Xi was stunned. He clearly knew of her current strength. The amount of curses or potions that she was unaware of were extremely few.
“This detrimental potion should be of Great Herbalist level and the curse is of a Summoner’s level. Right now… I am unable to undo it.” Shen Yanxiao secretly clenched her fist. She had never felt so helpless in her life.
Looking at the entire city being inflicted by a detrimental potion and curse, a Herbalist like her was at a loss!
“Fortunately, the poison is not yet deeply rooted so I believe they did not directly consume the potion.” Shen Yanxiao’s mind swiftly spun around. It was not the time for her to abandon herself in despair. If she were to fall into a mess now, then the entire city would truly have no hope!
“Go and investigate! Get Jiu Shu and the rest to fetch a bucket of water from every well in the city, and also bring a few bags of our grain reserves. It is impossible for such a wide-scale poisoning to be done individually.” Shen Yanxiao decisively gave an order.
