181: More poisonous than Poison Master, Plague Messenger (Highly Rated, Extra Chapters +2)

After Sun Liancheng put away the items, he let out a heavy sigh and said to Gu Qinghan:

"After this attack, we are preparing to fully arm our warriors.

Moreover, Zhu Wenfu has clearly gone mad.

His attack on the military today was most likely to test whether you were still around.

However, I suspect he is brewing an even bigger conspiracy."

Gu Qinghan nodded. This Zhu Wenfu was already on his kill list.

He had only completed one-fifth of his current mission; he still needed eighty Demon Contractors to unlock his class transfer mission.

This guy's arrival was perfect, saving him the trouble of searching.

However, Gu Qinghan felt that there should be more Contractors in the opponent's Gathering Place.

He even had a hunch that even within the military, there were Demon Contractors lurking.

But Sun Liancheng must have already guessed this problem, so he didn't need to worry too much.

What he needed to consider was how to find these Demon Contractors and kill them.

One of the fastest ways was for Gu Qinghan to directly destroy the opponent's Gathering Place.

Killing everyone would surely include some Contractors.

But Gu Qinghan would never do that; he felt he wasn't a great Samaritan, but neither was he a deranged psychopath.

He shared his thoughts with Sun Liancheng, wanting to hear the general's opinion.

Sun Liancheng frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly asked Gu Qinghan:

"Kong Yan said that when you first met him, you weren't like this?"

Gu Qinghan nodded, using the empress veil to slightly change his appearance, becoming like Kong Yan.

A hint of surprise flashed in Sun Liancheng's eyes, followed by a sharp glint.

He thought for a moment, then asked Gu Qinghan again:

"Kong Yan also said that you seem to be able to use a skill called Mental Toxin. Can you use other toxins as well?"

Gu Qinghan nodded. He knew Kong Yan would definitely reveal all his information.

"That's great," Sun Liancheng rubbed his hands together, "If you can do that, perhaps you can quietly infiltrate the enemy's interior."

Gu Qinghan now roughly understood Sun Liancheng's meaning. He asked:

"Are you saying you want me to change my appearance and infiltrate as a Poison Master?"

Sun Liancheng nodded, then shook his head.

Gu Qinghan, however, frowned. This situation was different from the previous Time Settlement.

Firstly, the opponent should be aware of the methods the military used against the Time Settlement, and would naturally be prepared.

It was clearly impossible to join as an outsider.

Moreover, while he could imitate someone's appearance, he couldn't imitate their lifestyle habits.

Thus, Gu Qinghan couldn't pretend to be someone from the opponent's Gathering Place.

Once exposed, those Demon Contractors would likely all hide, making Gu Qinghan's search much more difficult.

Seeing Gu Qinghan's expression, Sun Liancheng seemed to know what he was thinking.

He smiled and said to Gu Qinghan:

"I know what you're worried about, but don't worry, this problem can be solved.

Among so many people in the military, there are still some who can help."

He looked at the Little Demons and the Professionals hiding in the distance; the enemy seemed to be retreating.

This probing battle ended with the military's temporary victory... The next day, Stone City seemed to return to its calm, as if nothing had happened.

The military's Professionals still formed teams to clear out the surrounding Little Demons, and incidentally, see if they could gather some supplies.

A team of Professionals in uniform military attire slowly advanced down a street, appearing extremely cautious.

They had just encountered an attack from a group of Little Demons, and their consumption seemed considerable.

Just then, figures suddenly appeared on the adjacent rooftops.

These were not monsters; they were all Professionals.

"All units, be on alert! Enemy attack!"

The captain of this team was clearly prepared for such a situation and quickly organized his men into defensive positions.

Two Shield Guards with shields protected their teammates in the middle, one in front and one behind, while Archers drew their bows, subtly adopting an attacking stance.

But as soon as they were ready, they found that a faint purple mist had permeated the surroundings.

The captain's expression changed, and he immediately said to his teammates:

"Weakening Miasma! It's that Professional from Zhu Wenfu's side!

Everyone, run! He's even more terrifying than a Poison Master! Get the message back!"

He called for his companions to retreat, while he himself threw out a scroll, summoning an ugly creature with a broken blade that charged towards the enemy.

However, this ugly creature with the broken blade only rushed into the purple mist for a moment before its steps seemed to become unsteady.

The Professionals on the rooftops sneered, unleashing several skills that instantly killed the creature.

And at the front of this group, a gaunt man with dull eyes calmly watched the scene below.

Seeing that those people still wanted to run, he raised both hands, and purple mist continuously surged from his hands, spreading downwards.

Once these mists appeared, they quickly surrounded these people.

However, among this group, one person set up a safe zone, seemingly isolating these poisonous mists.

That was a Poison Master Professional, who appeared to be struggling somewhat.

The Professionals around the silent man immediately let out sneers, and a heavily made-up woman among them couldn't help but laugh:

"A mere Poison Master actually wants to compete with our Brother Wu Hao in poison control? That's hilarious."

"Yeah, Brother Wu Hao's class is Plaguebringer, which is quite powerful even among Epic Classes.

This guy will soon find out he can't control the poison mist, haha."

The man referred to as Wu Hao didn't speak, but merely gave a look to the person next to him.

The surrounding people immediately nodded. They dispersed, guarding the perimeter of the purple poisonous mist to prevent anyone from escaping.

Their goal was not to kill these people, but to capture them and interrogate them for information.

Having staked out since yesterday, only this one team had come out; how could they miss this opportunity?

Wu Hao watched the Professionals in the purple miasma, quietly waiting for the Poison Master's mana to run out.

Perhaps feeling that waiting would only lead to a certain death, the captain of this small team looked around and plunged into the miasma.

Wu Hao showed no surprise; he had encountered people before who tried to force their way out of his skill's range.

But without exception, they all collapsed inside.

He didn't have many skills, but they were all enough to make one's scalp tingle.

This skill was called Weakening Miasma, and its effect was to gradually drain the strength of those within it, until they lost the ability to move.

And through his perception of the skill, he felt that the captain hadn't run far before his body began to sway.

After a few minutes, he seemed to have exhausted his stamina and collapsed directly to the ground.

"Hmph, another fool."

Wu Hao let out a disdainful sneer; he didn't speak, but secretly scoffed in his mind.

He jumped down from the rooftop, gradually disappearing into the purple miasma.

Although the primary effect of this miasma was to weaken strength, prolonged exposure could also be fatal.

This captain should know some information, right?
