Chapter 1729

"Otherwise, how else are we to explore this world?"

"It is just that one must be careful of safety while exploring."

"If someone is bitten or scratched, there is likely still a chance for salvation if they jump into the water within a short time."

"Just be extremely careful, that is all."

Ying Ying Zi Ye did not stop them; on the contrary, he even approved of this idea.

If they were not curious about anything, then how could they discover any new continents?

Perhaps there is still a chance for salvation if one jumps into the water immediately after being bitten?

Upon hearing this, the crowd was stunned.

Is such a thing even possible?

Some were puzzled, not knowing the principle behind this.

But since His Highness agreed to let them catch a few to examine closely,

if they wanted to understand, they would have to research it themselves.

"Your Highness, since that is the case, let this general go first."

Seeing that things had reached this point, Meng Tian knew he certainly had to take the lead.

He was also extremely curious, but he could not do so before.

Catching an infected person was too dangerous.

But now that His Highness had said as much, what else was there to worry about?

The remaining deputy generals also looked at Meng Tian with anticipation.

Meng Tian looked toward the opposite bank, a distance of three meters away.

There was still a continuous stream of infected falling into the water and being washed away.

Not a single infected person could reach them here.

The three-meter distance was not short, and Meng Tian pondered how to catch an infected person and bring them over.

One had to know that once an infected person fell into the water, they would stop moving.

He certainly could not let the captured infected fall into the water, otherwise, the effort would be in vain.

Meng Tian's gaze turned to the long spear at his side.

The length of the long spear was about four meters; as long as one had enough strength...

Thinking this, Meng Tian took the long spear from the hands of a soldier nearby.

He thrust it toward an infected person on the opposite bank.

With a *puchi* sound, the long spear pierced an infected person.

With such a dense crowd of infected, there was no need to aim at all.

"Up!"

Meng Tian let out a great shout.

The veins on his hands bulged.

The infected person rose in response, being hoisted up by Meng Tian just like that.

He performed a direct fishing maneuver, throwing the infected person behind him.

Just as the infected person landed and tried to get up,

they were immediately pierced through the body by the long spears of the surrounding soldiers.

Even if they wanted to get up, they could not.

They could only be pinned to the ground, hissing and roaring.

The generals crowded around, unsure of how to proceed for a moment.

This infected person was waving their hands and feet at them.

Finally, someone suggested trying to splash water on the infected person.

But once this method was tested, it felt like the effect was minimal.

The infected person seemed to be in fear, becoming even more agitated.

But there were no obvious changes.

"How about we try soaking them in water as well?"

Someone suggested this.

But there were no wooden barrels or anything of the sort here.

If they wanted to soak them in water, they could only dig a pit.

Otherwise, one could not see clearly if they were placed in the water channel.

Thinking it, they did it; soldiers immediately began to dig a pit.

Before long, they had dug out a human-shaped pit.

Someone used a wooden bucket to fetch water from the channel.

But they discovered that the water was mixed with mud, so murky that one could not see anything at all.

This method would not work for the time being.

Later, someone thought of taking animal hide to line the groove in the ground.

In this way, the water fetched would be clear and visible.

Very soon, someone tested this method.

It was indeed effective.

Finally—

The infected person was pinned into the water trough by soldiers using their weapons.

They did not use their hands to touch them, avoiding being scratched and infected.

Ying Ying Zi Ye watched Meng Tian and the others work with great interest.

He did not say much, having no intention of intervening.

These people were not stupid; they thought of these methods immediately.

Sometimes, curiosity really can drive many things forward. ===== CHAPTER 1731 =====
