Chapter 440: Chapter 440: The Antidote in the Swamp
With the power of a large tree outside and the hunter’s own skills, they were able to safely rescue everyone from the cave.
At this mont, they indeed found themselves in a jungle.
Moreover, if they were to go higher, it seed that they could reach the peak over there.
The sun was already beaming through the leaves, shining down.
Now, the whole jungle felt relatively quiet.
However, they were very aware that so things were deeply hidden.
Now it seed like a peaceful environnt, but perhaps the next mont, they could encounter so kind of danger.
“Let take a look at your wound.”
After Ling’er ca over, she pulled Lin Yi aside and carefully checked the place she had hastily bandaged before.
The swelling had gradually subsided, but it had turned a black color.
“What’s going on, why did it change color?”
“It’s because the poison stayed here too long, so it slowly enters your muscles, and over ti, it accumulates and turns this black color.”
“Is there any antidote later on?”
“Once we find that Cat Spirit Grass, your hand can still be saved.”
“Cat Spirit Grass, Cat Spirit Grass.”
“I rember this grass should grow in dark and also damp places.”
“Dark and damp? Could we be near a water source or perhaps near a swamp?”
“I’ve read in books before that failing to find abdominal muscles is indeed a very good choice. Right, where’s the map?”
“Oh, right here.”
While talking, the hunter took out the map again.
They spread the map on the ground, and Hei Lang naturally took on the duty of keeping watch.
“Do you see? We ca up from this cave, and if we go around this circuit, we should be about here.”
The hunter identified an approximate location based on his sense of direction.
But whether this specific location could be reached none of them knew.
Lin Yi nodded.
He actually had quite a lot of trust in the hunter’s sense of direction.
To be honest, ever since coming in, Lin Yi felt a bit lost.
North, south, east, and west, he still hadn’t figured them out.
His past experience in wilderness survival must have been completely forgotten by now.
Even standing here, the dense foliage blocked everything tightly, making it impracticable to determine direction using the sun.
“Hey, big brother, I suddenly rembered, like you guys who work year-round at these posts, what do you rely on to discern direction?”
“Haha, isn’t that simple? Moreover, there are things all over the ground that can show the way, look at that tree.”
“The tree, what’s with the tree?”
He looked at the tree the hunter was pointing at and asked inquisitively.
“Just look at the tree’s growth rings and its appearance, and you can estimate the current orientation.”
“You can tell the direction from this big tree?”
Lin Yi, listening, couldn’t help feeling this was all rather far-fetched.
So, he quickly walked over and circled the tree thoroughly.
But in his view, it was just an ordinary big tree—nothing else unusual about it.
He really didn’t understand how these people could use the tree to figure out the direction.
“Alright, stop wasting your ti there. I’m telling you, without several years of experience, you can’t make heads or tails of it. Even if I explained it now, you wouldn’t understand, get it?”
“Heh, okay, I understand. Looks like that is your wealth of experience, right?”
“It’s not just the trees, including the big rocks on the ground. Do you see? The moss on those rocks can also guide us in the right direction, so we don’t need to look at the sun in the sky. That ans even on a cloudy or rainy day, you can easily find the correct direction.”
“What? These rocks, the rocks can tell direction? Oh dear, what you’re saying now is all Greek to ; anyway, it doesn’t have much to do with , so I won’t think about it anymore.”
“So, regarding the matter of direction, naturally, I’m in control. You just need to tell the next step, what place do we go to, and do we keep going that way or what?”
“Big brother, we can’t delay any further, and as I ntioned just now, I must find the Cat Spirit Grass.”
Ling’er stepped forward and then spoke to the hunter.
“So, you an to say, other matters can be put on hold for now, and finding the Cat Spirit Grass is the most important task at hand?”
“Exactly, that’s what I an. And his poisoned wound cannot be delayed any longer; the dicine I gave him earlier won’t last very long.”
“Okay, I understand. Just now I roughly ntioned to you, talking about a dark and damp environnt, I tell you, in these deep mountains, if you are really talking about dark and damp, I guess it’s everywhere.”
“No, I need the darkest, dampest place.”
“You an the swamp?”
“Swamp?”
Upon hearing this, Ling’er’s eyes widened in surprise.
“Yes, only under the conditions you described do swamps indeed et the requirents.”
“Swamps, are swamps born of the Yin elent?”
“Exactly, only swamps are born of the Yin elent, and there should be a water source nearby.”
“Alright then, let’s head to the swamp.”
“But, you see…”
The hunter hesitated upon hearing this.
Clearly, the swamp was very dangerous for them.
If it wasn’t for the need to search for the item, it’s likely they would choose to skirt around the swamp and leave from this side.
“I know what you want to say, is it danger? Just tell the general direction, and then you can stop when we get there. At that point, it will be my responsibility to search for the Cat Spirit Grass.”
“How can that be okay? Let’s just take one step at a ti. Co on, if we’re going to the swamp, follow ; we’ll go up the mountain from this direction.”
With that, the hunter pointed straight ahead.
Lin Yi turned back, looked at the direction, and nodded in trust.
