Several Otherworldly Demon who were enjoying the humans in the mountains and forests suddenly saw a strange companion running towards them. Although they were somewhat surprised, they were not particularly wary.
One of the stronger Otherworldly Demon stood up and shouted a few words at the virus's mother, as if asking for her identity.
However, the virus's parent organism did not answer. Instead, it immediately sped up, instantly pouncing on the strong Otherworldly Demon and biting at its neck like a wild beast.
This sudden change startled the other Otherworldly Demon around them, who all drew their weapons and attacked the virus's mother.
However, the Otherworldly Demon infected with the T1 Virus is incredibly agile and possesses an extremely strong self-healing ability, making ordinary Otherworldly Demon no match for it.
A few breaths later, the strong Otherworldly Demon on the ground, which had been bitten by the virus mother, suddenly stood up and, like the virus mother, let out a beast-like growl.
Following this, the strong Otherworldly Demon also joined the Virus Mother's ranks, helping it attack the other Otherworldly Demon.
In the air, Chen Mu and Lu Xiaoyun hid using Invisibility Talisman runes, quietly observing how things would unfold.
Less than an incense stick's time had passed since Chen Mu released the virus source, and all the dozens of Otherworldly Demon below were infected by the T1 Virus.
"Go! Head to the barracks, to raise more children!"
Through the mother body, Chen Mu could easily control these Otherworldly Demon Zombie. After issuing the orders, he turned his gaze to Lu Xiaoyun.
"Let's go! Let's go to a farther place and continue deploying the mother cells."
"Strive to unleash the virus's full power in the shortest possible time, preventing the higher-ups of the Otherworldly Demon from having a chance to react."
After watching the changes in the Otherworldly Demon below, Lu Xiaoyun suddenly felt a chill run down her spine and couldn't help but ask a question.
"Master Chen Kingdom, this... virus you mentioned, it's ineffective against humans, right?"
Chen Mu glanced at her, seemingly knowing what she was thinking, and smiled.
"Currently, this virus is harmless to humans."
"Oh... that's good."
Lu Xiaoyun carefully considered the word 'currently' and quickly understood his implied meaning: if needed, he could also cultivate a virus that was effective against humans.
Thinking of this, she felt a little heavy-hearted, but since the crisis facing the Otherworldly Demon had not yet been overcome, she couldn't say anything more.
"Then let's go over there. That direction is where the Otherworldly Demon's wounded soldiers' camp is located, which should be conducive to the spread of your virus."
Although Lu Xiaoyun had never heard of a virus, she knew what a plague was. In the past, there had been wizards on the Pan Emperor Continent who could spread plagues in battle, but such a profession was against the natural order and was later wiped out by the righteous sects.
"The wounded soldiers' camp? Excellent, let's go there."
Upon hearing what Lu Xiaoyun said, Chen Mu's eyes lit up, and he urged Lu Xiaoyun to go over.
Although the T1 Virus can be transmitted through the air, for it to cause disease in the Otherworldly Demon, the virus in the air must come into contact with the Otherworldly Demon ' wounds.
Normally, the only way to infect them with the Otherworldly Demon Otherworldly Demon to have them attack them, exposing their wounds to the air.
However, if it were a wounded soldiers' camp, even a single infected Otherworldly Demon Zombie entering the camp would likely infect most of the Otherworldly Demon inside.
After a short while, Chen Mu arrived in the forest near the Otherworldly Demon wounded soldiers' camp and left behind another virus host.
This is the territory of the Otherworldly Demon, and even Chen Mu has to be careful. After all, there must be more than one Creation Realm expert lurking in the Otherworldly Demon camp. If he is discovered and attacked by them all at once, it would be extremely dangerous.
After the original virus was released, the population continued to grow. Chen Mu did not stay there to continue observing, but instead went with Lu Xiaoyun to find a third location to release the original virus.
The third deployment location is near the dam. The Otherworldly Demon also need drinking water. After the mother virus is deployed here, it will be accidentally ingested by the soldiers below along with the water source, which will likely increase the spread of the virus.
After the virus matrix was deployed, Chen Mu took Lu Xiaoyun back to Suspended Sword Pass. In any case, there was no point in them staying in the territory of the Otherworldly Demon, and they might even arouse the Otherworldly Demon ' suspicion.
Whether this plan will succeed, and how effective it will be, depends on whether the higher-ups on the Otherworldly Demon side are decisive enough, or rather, intelligent enough, to understand the characteristics of the virus immediately and then use iron-fisted measures to prevent its further spread.
However, according to Chen Mu's estimation, although the Otherworldly Demon are ruthless enough, their usual management is very lax. By the time they discover the harm of the virus, the situation will probably be out of their control. At that time, even if they are willing to cut off an arm to survive, that arm will not be so easy to cut off.
In the afternoon, inside the command hall of the Otherworldly Demon Army camp.
A Otherworldly Demon Emperor with wings on his back and purple markings on his forehead sat on the throne, with more than a dozen Otherworldly Demon King sitting on his left and right below him.
The Otherworldly Demon Emperor at the head of the table is none other than Luo Peng, the overall commander of this attack on Suspended Sword Pass.
In the center of the hall stood a huge sand table, where the various Otherworldly Demon King presented their tactics one after another, each one full of vigor and high spirits, a stark contrast to the Suspended Sword Pass command hall inside the Hanging Sword Pass.
"Very good! The siege ships will arrive the day after tomorrow. Everyone, launch a full-scale attack and don't give the humans a chance to breathe."
The attacks over the past few days have been quite effective. Luo Peng can already sense that the firepower of Suspended Sword Pass is weakening, and he believes that victory is not far off.
Just then, a messenger rushed in from outside the door.
"Report!"
Seeing the messenger's hurried manner, Luo Peng had a bad feeling.
"Explain!"
" Emperor Peng, a large number of soldiers have mutinied within the camp, biting anyone they see, like wild beasts."
"It bites anyone it sees?"
Luo Peng frowned, quickly associating it with witchcraft.
" Shineika, go and check on this quickly, and give me an answer as soon as possible."
"Yes!"
Shineika, being the Shaman Demon King and possessing the greatest knowledge of witchcraft, quickly left the military camp.
Seeing Shineika leave the military camp, Luo Peng felt much relieved and continued to work out the sand table with the other Otherworldly Demon King to ensure that tomorrow's general offensive would capture Suspended Sword Pass.
More than an hour later, Shineika walked in from outside, covered in blood and looking very disheveled.
" Shineika, what's wrong with you?"
Luo Peng frowned and questioned Shineika.
" Your Emperor Peng, I am incompetent and willing to accept punishment!"
Shineika knelt on the ground, his face filled with shame.
"You mean, you can't resist the other party's witchcraft?"
Luo Peng stood up and questioned him sternly.
"Yes! Emperor Peng, I have tried everything, but I cannot stop the spread of the enemy's witchcraft!"
The only way now is to set up an altar and ask the gods for help, but I'm worried it's too late. Given the speed at which the enemy's witchcraft spreads, our soldiers will probably all be dead before the gods grant their blessing."
Shineika knelt on the ground and spoke tremblingly.
"Waste!"
With a snap, Luo Peng angrily broke the armrest on the seat with his palm.
"No need to ask the demon god for help!"
Issue the order: kill every single soldier who has been bewitched!
