Chapter 804: Deep Cave, Clear Spring

However, given the current situation, this Life-and-Death Grass held no attraction for him whatsoever.

After all, Lin Yi was still in deep water and fire; should anything truly happen, he might regret it too late.

Thus, he did not carefully observe the Life-and-Death Grass before him and immediately left.

Not knowing how much time had passed, a figure finally appeared ahead.

And that was Lin Yi, sitting there.

What is meant by "searching until one's iron shoes are worn through without finding it, only to find it effortlessly when it appears"?

Just now, searching so hard yielded nothing, yet at this very moment, it appeared here.

"Lin Yi!"

Did Ning Chen could not help but shout loudly, and at the same time, he sprinted fiercely toward that direction.

"How are you?"

After coming before Lin Yi, he showed no expression, even when Did Ning Chen pulled him.

"Have those Life-and-Death Grasses been cleared?"

Huh?

Did Ning Chen suddenly froze; this sound was completely not Lin Yi's voice.

Yet the face was exactly Lin Yi's appearance.

"Are you alright?"

Did Ning Chen felt somewhat baffled, yet he could not articulate the reason.

However, what surprised him even more was that Lin Yi had just mentioned that Life-and-Death Grass.

When the Life-and-Death Grass was discovered, Lin Yi was not by his side.

So where had he heard of this thing?

Did Ning Chen was somewhat dazed, yet the Lin Yi before him did not stop rambling despite his lack of response.

"This child, Lingling, cannot be reasoned with; he insists on handing this Life-and-Death Grass to those inspecting the mountain. Once contaminated, it could wipe out our entire clan."

Did Ning Chen listened carefully to the words spoken by the Lin Yi before him.

Suddenly, he seemed to understand what was being discussed.

If his guess was correct, what he was speaking of now was likely the reason why Mantis People appeared in this village.

"How can this Life-and-Death Grass have such great effects?"

Did Ning Chen could not help but ask, only to see Lin Yi suddenly widen his eyes and look toward him.

"This Life-and-Death Grass is attached to those strange parasites; once infected, it spreads from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred."

What?

Did Ning Chen could not help but pause; this matched exactly what was happening now.

As long as the Mantis People touched a human body, the infection spread extremely fast.

So he had indeed predicted it correctly.

Who would have thought that this Mantis Virus was actually released by one of their own.

"What about those rescue teams that arrived?"

After Did Ning Chen asked this question, he did not know whether the other party would answer.

However, he had now roughly guessed.

Lin Yi was likely possessed by the former leader of this village.

Although extremely reluctant to admit this matter, it had indeed occurred right before their eyes.

"They are already infected; what use is keeping them? Drive them all into the cave and let them live or die on their own!"

After all these words appeared, Did Ning Chen finally understood the fault in the middle.

It must be said that most people in this village brought this upon themselves.

And that Life-and-Death Grass just now might not be as powerful as described on the wall.

If it were truly as the Lin Yi before him claimed, then it might not be that he could resurrect the dead.

Rather, it turned the dead into terrifying living corpses.

Only that every rescue team sent down was harmed for no apparent reason.

Thus, Si Shiya developed an especially strong desire to aid this place.

"If that is the case, then what method can stop the invasion of the Mantis People?"

Lin Yi coughed twice and continued to tremble while looking toward the position ahead.

"Inside the cave, there is a pool of clear spring water; there lies everything that nourishes the human soul. Even those who have mutated can be purified upon arriving there."

After hearing Lin Yi's words, Did Ning Chen also understood what to do next.

【What is wrong with this little brother? Why has his speech become so strange?】

【According to my analysis, he must be telling Brother Shiguang the solution.】

【Who would have thought these two journeys would be so perplexing, like solving a mystery; we need to sharpen our minds.】

【The one adventuring is Brother Shiguang, not us; why do we need to bring any minds?】

At this moment, the people in the live stream were also rambling about all this.

Unaware that Did Ning Chen had resolutely walked outside.

He had Lin Yi find a spot to hide first.

After all, resolving this in a moment would not be easy, and no one could be certain of success when facing so many Mantis People.

Just now, he had gone to the depths, and a large pool of clear spring water had indeed appeared at that location.

Did Ning Chen walked outside.

At this very moment, he also understood why these mantis people dared not enter the depths of this cave.

It turned out to be because of that clear spring Lin Yi had mentioned.

As long as one enters the clear spring, one can be purified.

The meaning of this statement was too obvious: if they entered, they could turn back into normal humans.

Perhaps even if they did not become normal humans, they could cleanse the poison from their bodies and no longer go out to harm others.

Of course, this was only Ning Chen's own thought.

But what he needed to do now was to lure those mantis people into that clear spring.

He took a deep breath.

Ning Chen also slowly walked forward; at this moment, the sunlight outside had already shone through.

It sprinkled over his body as if gilding him with a layer of golden robe.

The mantis people inside the forest had already surrounded him from all directions.

They took Ning Chen as their sole target.

Ning Chen carefully observed these mantis people before him.

These were the mantis people evolved from everyone in the village, including the rescue team.

It was already impossible to distinguish who was the first one infected.

And now they had become exceptionally united, with the sole goal of eliminating Ning Chen.

If he had been eliminated blindly without understanding the situation, Ning Chen would have said nothing.

But he now knew the solution.

How could he be eliminated at their whim? Thinking this, Ning Chen directly gathered his spiritual energy into one.

Subsequently, mist began to appear around him.

Those mantis people slowly approached this side.

They surrounded Ning Chen in the center; their appearance was extremely terrifying, as if they intended to strike to kill.

Since that was the case, Ning Chen was already prepared.

Subsequently, he slowly looked toward that position; the distance to the cave entrance was not far anymore.

If he went over now, those mantis people might not follow completely.

Therefore, he had to give them a little bit of interest.

Thinking this, Ning Chen suddenly drew out a dagger and then slashed it across his own palm.
