Chapter 438: Chapter 438: Has the Heavenly Eye Failed?
“Actually, when I first ca in, I slled a special scent, and I’ve been trying to figure out where exactly it’s coming from. Now, I finally understand.”
“You an, the scent is coming from this stream?”
“Yes, it’s emanating from this river water. And judging by what you’ve just co into contact with and the current state of things, I suspect that you, you have been poisoned with Seven-Star Toxicity.”
“What? Seven-Star Toxicity?”
“Put simply, Seven-Star Toxicity is caused by a plant called Seven-Star Grass. This plant usually grows above rivers, soaking in the water for prolonged periods. The longer it soaks, the more poison is washed down by the water, and the entire river becos poisonous.”
“So, what do we do now?”
“Fortunately, I have so dicinal herbs on that can provide you temporary relief.”
“What, temporary?”
“Yes, the effect of these herbs will last for about six hours at most. But, if we can’t find an antidote within six hours, then this hand of yours can be considered completely useless.”
Ling’er spoke seriously, her expression stern and seemingly no joke.
Lin Yi felt his heart clench.
Just one touch had caused this severe reaction. If he had actually ingested the water, he’d probably be dead by now.
“What kind of antidote do we need?”
“A herb called Cat Spirit Grass. It’s a very precious dicinal herb. I’ve only read about it in books before, and I hope that we can find it here.”
“Alright, then let’s not waste any ti and get moving.”
After Ling’er’s bandaging, she had tightly bound the area around his veins.
In this way, the poison could be effectively prevented from spreading through the bloodstream throughout the body, which would otherwise lead to death by poisoning.
Since soone had already been poisoned, their pace naturally quickened.
Ling’er’s ankle was already swollen and red, but even so, she continued to endure the pain and followed closely behind the others.
“Quick, dodge to the side!”
Suddenly, they heard Hei Lang shout loudly.
Since Hei Lang was always facing away from them, now, he must have spotted so danger.
Imdiately after, they heard a loud roar.
Lin Yi instinctively pulled Ling’er, and with his other hand, he grabbed the hunter and retreated a couple of steps backward,
When they turned around, they saw Hei Lang act decisively, pressing the electronic button with a swift movent.
Suddenly, there was a scream, and the prey fell to the ground.
After seeing this, Lin Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Since entering, there had been two ferocious beasts inside this cave, and now, they had eliminated them both.
That ant that for the ti being, the cave should be relatively safe.
“Hei Lang, how is it, is it dead?”
“Big brother, don’t rush it, let go and check,”
“I understand, but you have to be really careful, got it?”
“Don’t worry, I’ve now used this Life Detector and it seems he should no longer show any signs of life.”
Upon hearing these words, Lin Yi’s heart finally settled down.
The Life Detector was a highly precise instrunt; if it couldn’t detect life, then there generally wouldn’t be any more life signs.
“Big brother, rest assured, it’s completely dead, my god, what, what is this thing, is it a bear?”
Hei Lang had never seen such a creature before.
Although it appeared furry like a big bear, he felt that it looked even more ferocious than a bear.
It was hard to define exactly what kind of hybrid it was.
However, these animals lived in the mountains all year round, and it was normal for so of them to undergo mutations.
“Forget it, stop looking at that thing. I reckon, the deeper we go, the more creatures we’ll encounter, so let’s not waste any more ti.”
“Okay, big brother, are you alright?”
“No, I feel a bit numb and tingly in my whole arm. Ling’er, what’s going on?”
After he asked this, he suddenly paused.
“This, this isn’t right, is it?”
He supposedly had the Heavenly Eye, and just by opening it, he ought to clearly see everything including his own bones and blood flow.
Why did he see nothing today?
He rubbed his eyes hard, then continued to look at his fingers.
Other than the black wounds wrapped in bandages, he saw nothing.
“Heaven, could it be malfunctioning?”
He was puzzled.
“Are you okay?”
“Yeah, it’s nothing, let’s go. We should hurry and leave this cave. The poison should have dissipated by now, right?”
After saying this, the hunter simply raised his wristwatch to check the ti, using the faint light of the torch.
“No, it’ll take at least half an hour more for the poison to fully dissipate, so if we go out now, we’ll still be trapped there.”
“Well, then, it looks like we can only resign ourselves to our fate.”
Having said this, he casually leaned against the wall and sat down.
Since they had already dealt with the two monsters, he believed there should be no further danger inside the cave.
“This won’t do, big brother, aren’t we just sitting ducks? No, I must go out, damn the poison! I’ll just run out there, find the dicine you need, won’t that solve everything?”
Hei Lang had always had an impulsive character.
And especially when Lin Yi was in danger, he would disregard his own life to save him.
“Nonsense, do you realize if we encounter real danger outside, who will co to save you? It’s already trouble for Ling’er to take care of just , do you want to cause more trouble?”
“Big brother, but…?”
“But what? Didn’t I tell you the dicinal effect can last a full six hours? It’s barely been half an hour since it started, so there’s no need to worry. Rest assured.”
