Dongfang Wan'er's heart skipped a beat. Years of medical practice and experience in the martial world told her that the situation was extremely critical. She quickly put down the Gu Master and rushed to the medicine basket, her hands flying as she took out various herbs. These herbs were collected by her from all over the mountains and valleys, each with unique medicinal properties. She knew that to dispel the Gu worms in the villagers' bodies, she had to quickly concoct an effective powder.
She skillfully crushed and mixed the herbs, concocting a powder capable of repelling the Gu worms based on her profound understanding and precise control of their properties. With a flick of her wrist, the powder scattered like snowflakes towards the villagers. Instantly, a rich medicinal fragrance filled the air. The villagers, enveloped in the powder, paused for a moment, but only briefly before continuing their charge towards Dongfang Wan'er.
Dongfang Wan'er then realized that the villagers were numerous, and the medicinal powder was far from sufficient. While nimbly dodging the villagers' attacks, she frantically searched her mind for a solution. Sweat rolled down her forehead, dampening the hair at her temples, but her eyes remained resolute, without the slightest hint of panic.
Suddenly, a method of fighting poison with poison, recorded in a medical book, flashed through her mind. This method was extremely risky; if the dosage was not controlled properly, it would not only fail to dispel the Gu worms but could also plunge the villagers into even greater danger. But at this moment, there was no better alternative.
She gritted her teeth and decisively took out a specially prepared poison from her bosom. This poison was meticulously crafted through numerous experiments and was extremely potent. She carefully mixed the poison into the herbs, stirring repeatedly to create a new potion.
She took a deep breath, waited for the opportune moment, and suddenly sprayed the potion onto the villagers. The instant the potion touched the villagers, the Gu worms seemed to be greatly stimulated, and they all crawled out of the villagers' bodies. These Gu worms were of various shapes, some as thin as threads, others as plump as beans, and they shimmered with an eerie light in the moonlight!
Soon, all the Gu worms emerged, fell to the ground, and died. The villagers' eyes gradually cleared, and their faces showed confusion and fear.
While Dongfang Wan'er was treating the villagers, the Gu Master secretly untied his ropes, intending to escape. Dongfang Wan'er caught a glimpse of the Gu Master's actions out of the corner of her eye and was enraged. She darted forward, moving with the speed of a cheetah hunting its prey. Before the Gu Master could get far, she grabbed him by the collar, yanked him forcefully, and subdued him once again.
"You can't escape," Dongfang Wan'er said coldly, her voice carrying an undeniable authority.
She escorted the Gu Master, striding towards the government office. Moonlight bathed her, outlining her resolute silhouette. She knew that many more unknown challenges lay ahead, but she would not back down. Bearing the mission of a healer, she was determined to protect this peace and ensure that evil had nowhere to hide.
Dongfang Wan'er bit her lower lip tightly, until it turned white, her face pale with anxiety and tension. She knew time was of the essence; every second held the lives of countless people at stake. There was no room for hesitation or retreat. Without hesitation, she quickly bent down again and reached into the worn-out medicine basket. Her hands rummaged through the jumbled herbs, her eyes revealing determination and resolve. Drawing on her years of familiarity and knowledge of herbs, she quickly and accurately selected several poisonous herbs that could suppress the Gu worms.
She took a deep breath, her chest heaving as she tried to calm her inner turmoil. She closed her eyes, silently telling herself she must remain calm; only by thinking rationally could she successfully concoct the antidote and save the villagers tormented by the Gu worms. After a moment, she slowly opened her eyes, her gaze now more composed and focused.
Then, she carefully placed the selected herbs on a flat stone, picked up a pestle, and began to mix them according to the prescribed proportions. Each time she ground the herbs, she was completely focused, controlling the force precisely, daring not to be careless in the slightest. Her hands trembled slightly as she mixed the herbs, because her heart was filled with worry; she feared that a single mistake would render the powder ineffective against the Gu worms, plunging the villagers into even deeper suffering.
Finally, after a tense and meticulous process, the medicinal powder was ready. She straightened up, looking at the villagers surging towards her like a tide, her heart filled with mixed emotions. These villagers had contorted faces, their eyes filled with pain and confusion. Controlled by the Gu worms, they had lost their self-awareness and were rushing towards her recklessly. Dongfang Wan'er gritted her teeth and forcefully threw out the newly prepared medicinal powder.
The medicinal powder drifted through the air like a thin layer of smoke, slowly floating towards the villagers. The moment the powder touched them, the Gu worms seemed to be greatly stimulated, and the villagers, who were already under control, became even more frantic. They roared, waved their arms, and staggered, as if waging a fierce battle against the Gu worms within their bodies. Dongfang Wan'er's heart tightened, her throat tightened, and her eyes were fixed on the villagers, fine beads of sweat appearing on her forehead.
Fortunately, it wasn't long before the Gu worms began to emerge from the villagers' mouths and noses. Those black, wriggling Gu worms were a terrifying sight. As the Gu worms emerged, the villagers' movements gradually slowed. Their eyes gradually regained their clarity, and the pain on their faces slowly faded. Dongfang Wan'er's heart finally settled; her legs gave way, and she collapsed wearily to the ground, panting heavily.
Before she could even catch her breath, another commotion arose in the distance. The sound grew louder and louder, as if a thousand horses were galloping towards them. Dongfang Wan'er was startled and listened intently; it seemed that even more people controlled by the Gu worms were heading this way. She sighed helplessly, a trace of exhaustion and resignation on her face, but her eyes still shone with determination. She knew she couldn't give up like this; there were still many more people who needed her to save. So, she forced herself to stand up, dusted herself off, gripped the medicine basket in her hand, and prepared to face a new challenge.
