I rushed up to the old chief and was startled. The old chief was only about fifty years old, but in front of me, his white hair was like frost, his face was full of wrinkles, and he looked like an eighty or ninety-year-old man.
I bent down to listen to his heartbeat and feel his pulse, but there was no response. I repeatedly cast healing spells on him, but his body showed no change, and even under my control, the old chief's body was clearly cold.
A dead person's body can't be this cold. Clearly, the old chief had been dead for at least two hours.
So, what did I see just now...
A sudden event interrupted my thoughts: My wolf king suit vanished silently and turned to dust. The skin of the clear skin also fell off a few pieces.
After being bitten crazily by mosquitoes and severely bitten by the powerful pestilence god, the wolf king suit that had accompanied me in countless battles finally exhausted its durability, leaving me with no chance to repair it, and it disappeared just like that.
Although it was just an outfit, I still felt a sadness like losing a friend. However, such sadness I had experienced in one day was already too much.
Struck by one after another, the system warned: "You have contracted 'malaria', you have contracted 'plague', you have contracted 'leprosy', you have contracted 'AIDS'..."
My god, the console was too cruel. These diseases weren't transmitted through the air, yet it got them all at once!
The onset speed of the disease was even more abnormal. My body was suddenly invaded by a nauseating sensation of alternating cold and heat. My throat became extremely dry, my brain felt like it was about to explode, my body seemed to be being burned up, the internal organs were all compressed by gravity, and my mouth and nose couldn't breathe. Suddenly, I started shaking all over and spitting out foam.
I had to cut off all my senses, but my intuition was also affected. I seemed to feel that the blood was full of dirty bubbles, like dirty dishwater; the internal organs seemed to have turned into rotten flesh, falling piece by piece; bones, muscles, and skin seemed to be occupied by all kinds of insects. At this moment, all I thought of was: "Let me die!"
No, I quickly suppressed my thoughts. The death of the pestilence god doesn't mean success. The task is not yet completed. I still need to seal the body of the plague god!
With great effort, I took out two pieces of clear skin and replaced the previously broken ones. Finally, I cut off the various bacteria that were still invading my body. I struggled to open my eyes and reached out my hand towards the old chief's body. I saw that the skin on my hand was already covered with various red spots and sores, almost making me want to vomit.
I slowly took off the god of the shepherds' outfit from the old chief and looked at the corpse covered with pus and small insects. I finally vomited, and the vomit was also crawling with small insects, and there seemed to be pieces of my internal organs. I couldn't help but close my eyes.
Putting on the god of the shepherds' outfit, a sacred power enveloped my body. I let out a long sigh, and the various viruses in my body seemed to feel the power of the god of the shepherds and no longer ran rampant.
Just at this moment, the system warned me: "The 'smallpox' antibody takes effect, the 'pig streptococcus' antibody takes effect..."
Surprised by these warnings, when did I have antibodies? The vaccines I received as a child were valid in the game? Even so, I haven't received so many vaccines. Besides, some diseases' vaccines haven't been researched yet.
I suddenly thought of a possibility: the blood of the pestilence god.
The hall was filled with various viruses, but the pestilence god was completely healthy, indicating that his body had antibodies against these viruses. I sucked the essence of the pestilence god's blood with the suction tube and simultaneously received all the antibodies!
I slowly opened all my senses, and the illness was indeed rapidly subsiding.
I slowly sat down and cast a healing spell on myself. Since there were no magic potions, I could only slowly restore my mana. It was really frustrating.
Each time the treatment was administered, I felt that the self-repair of my internal organs was accelerating. After perhaps two hours, all my symptoms finally disappeared.
I stood up and checked repeatedly, confirming that the old chief and Chaahu and Manmuhe had died. Then I gathered their bodies together and cremated them with fireballs.
I didn't know if this Kazakh tribe in the game was related to the real Kazakhs. If they were Kazakhs and Muslims, then my cremation of them would be against the rules. If that were the case, let Allah impose the punishment on me. But I believed that they wouldn't want their bodies to remain here to spread viruses.
However, observing the life of the herdsmen, there were no features of Islam. Also, if these customs were really brought in to the game, it would indeed be a bit complicated. Moreover, the setting of this game, including the geography and ethnicity, was all fictional.
Collecting their ashes, I picked up the equipment on the ground. Then I discovered that the body of the Plague God had already disappeared. It was a pity. I still wanted to get some benefits from it.
Recalling, although the Plague God was very powerful, it was impossible for him to kill the six of us experts by himself. Even if all six of them contracted the disease after entering the hall, with the special guard in place, they should have been able to temporarily contain the illness.
From the situation of the monsters in the cave, the three levels should correspond to the three gods of this hall. Besides the Plague God, there should also be the "Malaria God" and the "Raccoon God". The first two gods were probably killed by them.
I checked my own condition. When the Plague God fell down, I reached level 30 and this time it gave me the maximum points, four attributes increased by 5 each, and 1 point of burst power. And the disease probability in the game had become 0.
Now my attributes are: HP 310, MP 97, Strength 89, Constitution 87, Agility 86, Spirit 95, Burst Power 5...
The Terracotta Turtle soared to level 10, and the armorization added 200 HP, 20 MP, 40 defense, and 30% resistance to water.
The Golden Sword of the Tiger King "Shi Ri" is now available for me to equip. Attack 60, burst power increased by 10%.
The necklace I got from killing the Terracotta Turtle is the "Life Necklace", which adds 20% HP and charm +1.
The arm guards are a bronze-level defense adding 5 and a silver-level defense adding 10 (got from Honey's drop).
The bronze-level cloak was dropped by the Malaria King, with defense +3 and agility +2.
The Priest God Set of Armor: A growing equipment, including Priest God Hat, Priest God Robe, Priest God Boots, Priest God Double Rings.
Since I'm only 30 levels now, the Priest God Set automatically drops to silver level, adding physical defense 80, magic defense 100, spirit 34, agility 10, HP 30, MP 50.
Wind resistance 10%, earth resistance 10%, it can automatically generate a primary protective shield to resist some low-level attacks that cause abnormal conditions.
The set's four advanced spells are all unavailable, and even the spell used by the Chief to summon the grassland that he used to use is not visible, probably because my level is not enough.
"Hassan Warrior Medal" Strength +2, Burst Power +1.
"Village Chief Badge" Charm +1, Magic Effect +10%.
To my surprise, the "Hassan Chief Badge" attached to me also worked on the Terracotta Turtle: Charm +2, earth magic effect +30%.
Could it be that I automatically inherited the position of the Hassan Chief? I couldn't be sure. Maybe it was just that I received the badge.
Putting aside distractions, I walked towards the front of the hall, towards the throne covered in darkness.
"The Priest God Set" is currently a silver-level set, but due to the very bright protective shield surrounding it, I quickly reached the deepest part of the hall. Along the way, there were many corpses of the Kazakh people. It seems that in that grand hall, apart from various plague gods, there were also quite a lot of mechanisms and monsters. Among these corpses, the female and child bodies accounted for a very large proportion. In fact, this trend already existed when we were in the outer cave.
Although the Kazakh people came as a whole, during the earlier battles, it was still the men who led the charge. Later, as the men died off, women, children, and the elderly began to enter the front line.
At the same time, the number of silver-level equipment dropped by the side increased, reaching over thirty items. It seems that there were many high-level deceased individuals here.
I couldn't cremate these brave people one by one, but I picked up the silver-level equipment on the ground. Among them, I also found several of the magic wands I had been longing for. The best one had a spirit power of +8 and a 20% increase in magic casting speed.
I had some doubts. Why did the Kazakh people defeat the plague god but didn't retrieve these corpses and equipment?
Along the way, the Kazakh people left so many corpses. The people continuing to move forward must have thought that after the victory, they would come back to collect their corpses, or they simply didn't prepare to return alive.
But in fact, including the chief, at least several dozen of the people were still alive at that time. For some reason, they didn't come back to collect them.
The throne was getting closer, and faint light could be seen. At this moment, a low crying sound reached my ears, making me involuntarily shiver. It was a woman's crying sound...
