Chapter 1270 Some People Began Mining!

The Hippo tribe was traditional in Africo, just like those traditional villages in Huaxia.

The tribe was located in the depths of the Africon Savannah and was next to the river. Like members of other tribes, people in this tribe rarely had contact with outsiders, but they were very enthusiastic every time they met outsiders.

But…

When Fang Qiu arrived…

The Hippo tribe had lost their enthusiasm, unlike in the past.

The whole tribe was very quiet, which gave him the spooks.

After traveling fast for more than an hour, Fang Qiu reached the site where this tribe was located. Because there was no one around, Fang Qiu went straight in and checked the village, house by house.

As a result…

This tribe had been infected with a new kind of Ebala virus, just as the news had said. It was not just a few of them, but everyone in the tribe was infected.

Under the virus attack, everyone in the tribe was lying in their rooms. From old to young, they all had a high fever and didn’t even have the strength to get up.

It looked like…

All the people in this tribe were waiting for death!

It was not that they did not want to get up, but after having been on the brink of death for a long time, they had nearly exerted all their strength.

However, the variant of the Ebala virus in their bodies was still frantically and mercilessly draining the vitality out of them!

After examining the whole tribe’s situation, Fang Qiu gained some understanding of this new type of Ebala virus.

He was deeply concerned about the situation…

He then hurriedly left the tribe to look for herbs around.

Of course…

Because of the different geographical features, no herbs growing in Huaxia could be found on this grassland, but many herbs had the same effect.

After all, he had already found herbs with the same effect when he treated malaria.

“I can only use the counter-toxin prescription to buy these people more time.”

Fang Qiu decided in his heart.

It was obvious…

There would be no cure for the new variant of the Ebala virus for the time being. However, the people in the Hippo tribe had been infected with the new virus for a long time. In this case, Fang Qiu could only use the counter-toxin prescription to help them stay alive for the moment. Maybe they could survive after a cure was found.

“Honeysuckle, cape jasmine, coptis, Kuh-Seng, unprocessed rehmannia root, wrinkled giant hyssop, and plaster stone.”

Exactly!

The counter-toxin prescription was the Chinese patent medicine prescription from the Renze Company, which announced their donation on Weibo. Fang Qiu knew that the prescription was effective. It couldn’t remove the virus, but it could repair the damage caused by the Ebala virus.

The Ebala virus was, figuratively speaking, boiling water. Then the effect brought by the counter-toxin prescription was like ice water!

However, there was no way to put this ice water directly into the boiling water to cool it down. Instead, it could only be applied to the skin burnt by boiling water to ease the pain.

This was also why Fang Qiu couldn’t help shaking his head when he saw the news that Renze Company chose to donate the medicine.

Simply put, their tablets were treating symptoms and not the root cause!

However, this medicine could play a significant role under certain circumstances. For instance, Fang Qiu could use it to deal with the problem he was facing.

He left the tribe.

Fang Qiu did not hesitate and immediately began to look around, searching for herbs with the same effect.

Although Renze Company promised they would donate, their medicine had not been delivered yet. Even if their medicine reached this place, it might not be handed out. Anyway, their medicine could not be delivered in time for this tribe.

Therefore, Fang Qiu could only look for substitutes.

Luckily…

There were numerous types of herbs in the Africon Savannah.

After all, he had a knowledge background of Chinese Medicine and inner sight. As long as he found a similar herb, he would try it by observing and eating it.

He searched for more than an hour.

Soon, Fang Qiu finally collected all the herbs he needed.

He returned to the Hippo tribe with enough medicine.

Fang Qiu stir-fried the herbs before decocting them.

In the end, he got the medicinal potion.

Fang Qiu fed the potion to the tribe members, one by one, and began to observe them.

As a result…

These people in the tribe gained some strength and could talk to him. However, this medicinal potion couldn’t eradicate the variant of the Ebala virus in these patients and could only lessen their pain.

After he finished giving them the medicine…

Fang Qiu went to the room of the chief of the Hippo tribe.

“Are my clansmen still alive?”

As soon as he entered…

An old man lying on the bed asked weakly.

“They are all alive.”

Fang Qiu nodded and promised, “I will try my best to keep them alive, as well as you.”

“Thank you, my benefactor.”

The elder thanked him.

“Let me examine you.”

Fang Qiu walked to the bed and began to examine the old man. After confirming his poor physical condition, he tried to save him by using his internal Qi.

Strangely…

Even the internal Qi had no effect on the new kind of Ebala virus that people were infected with.

This situation surprised Fang Qiu.

He had never expected this to happen.

In the past, no matter what kind of disease he encountered, he could cure it as long as he used his internal Qi. However, his internal Qi couldn’t do anything to this new virus, which was a little unexpected to him.

“Like that black substance, this virus is immune to internal Qi!”

Fang Qiu frowned.

He sat in front of the bed and thought for a long time.

“It seems that I can only change the prescription.”

Fang Qiu muttered to himself…

If he wanted to wipe out this virus, he could only deal with the disease, not the symptoms. Moreover, the focus of the treatment shouldn’t be on repairing human bodies: it must be concentrated on killing the virus.

An idea flashed across his mind.

Fang Qiu changed to another prescription.

Then, he left the tribe and went to the grassland to pick more herbs again.

This time…

With this changed prescription, Fang Qiu walked to a place that was further than where he had gone before. There were a few medicinal herbs that were pretty hard to get.

Ultimately…

Fang Qiu came to the depths of the grassland.

He searched until the evening but still couldn’t find the right herbs.

Fang Qiu had wanted to continue searching when a tribe came into his view.

People in this tribe were quite lively. It didn’t look like they had been infected with the virus.

At this sight…

Fang Qiu intended to find lodgings there.

In passing, he wanted to ask the people in the tribe if they knew where to find the herbs with certain properties he was looking for.

However…

When he was about to ask…

Suddenly, there came a flurry of hurried footsteps.

Hearing that, Fang Qiu immediately looked over.

There…

On the grassland, two black shadows suddenly appeared near the tribe.

The two figures seemed to have come from nowhere and sneakily approached the tribe. Then they took out a transparent glass container that looked like a lampshade.

He took a closer look.

There were actually a dozen or so mosquitoes in the glass container.

Under Fang Qiu’s gaze…

The two men secretly opened the container that looked like a lampshade and released all the mosquitoes into the tribe.

At this sight…

Fang Qiu immediately frowned.

He didn’t act rashly and alert them.

Instead, Fang Qiu directly released his Divine Consciousness and carefully observed the position of each mosquito flying out of the glass container.

When the two men left…

Fang Qiu immediately ground all the mosquitoes into powder with his internal Qi before they could enter each room!

After he did all this…

Then, Fang Qiu secretly followed the two men.

They covered a long distance.

He noticed that…

The two visited many tribes along the way and secretly dropped some mosquitoes when they passed each tribe.

Their act appeared more and more suspicious in Fang Qiu’s eyes.

And every time he passed a tribe, Fang Qiu would squash all the mosquitoes!

In the end…

It was over three o’clock in the morning.

After releasing the mosquitoes in the last glass container, the two figures clapped their hands and left quickly.

Fang Qiu killed the last batch of mosquitoes.

Right away, he caught up with the two and followed at a discreet distance.

In less than a few minutes…

To his great surprise, the two men led him to the place where the jade mine was.

They took another passageway.

It was an excavated tunnel that led right to an underground ruin!

Fang Qiu hid in the dark.

Quietly, he got a little closer to them.

“How did they know about the ancient ruin? Do they work for the Egyptt government?”

Fang Qiu was shocked.

He had never expected that the relic hidden 15 meters underground had already been discovered by someone else.

He quietly went underground.

Fang Qiu found a rock that could shield him completely. Then, he used his Divine Consciousness to check and observe. The result of the survey surprised him even more!

They were mining.

They were mining the jade mine!

What was going on?

Fang Qiu was shocked to the marrow.

How could anyone discover this jade mine?

If the ancient relic were discovered, Fang Qiu wouldn’t feel surprised. After all, this place would be found out as long as it existed there, just like fire cannot be wrapped up in paper.

But…

How could this jade mine also come to light?

The jade mine was hidden deep under the ancient ruin!

Most importantly…

Even if some people found the jade mine, they wouldn’t know its value and would only take the jade as ordinary stones.

That was to say…

Only those who knew the effect of the jade would explore and mine in this place.

So, how did these people know about the benefits of this jade?

He hit upon an idea.

Instantly, Fang Qiu scrupulously observed everyone on the scene and soon found a leader.

It was a young man.

He looked like a supervisor. While pacing back and forth inside, he kept looking around and constantly urged the miners to speed up, not to slack off.

He was someone with a higher status here.

Fang Qiu stared at him for more than ten minutes.

Suddenly, the young man left the ruin, and he followed him quietly.

Soon…

Fang Qiu saw the young man entering a solitary room not far away on the grassland.

Through the window…

Fang Qiu saw a person sitting in the room.

After careful observation, Fang Qiu recognized the person in the room; he seemed to be one of the two people who had helped the gurus from various countries escape.

Whether it was in terms of figure or aura, he looked rather like that person.

Under these circumstances…

An idea came to Fang Qiu’s mind. He completely covered his aura, lowered his body, and quietly moved forward for a distance. Then, he began to eavesdrop on their talk with the greatest care.

Inside the room…

“All done?”

As soon as the young man arrived, the person who had stayed in the room asked.
