Hearing Shi Lei's words, the worry in Hua Rou's heart was finally lifted.

Before leaving, he had thought that this time, his biggest enemy was not something that appeared in Nine Links Mountain, but people with malicious intents. However, when he arrived at this environment, he realized that it was safe to have a lot of people.

After walking a few hundred meters further in, the darkness gradually dissipated and a number of bright lights appeared.

"Close your eyes. Your eyes might feel uncomfortable later on."

Shi Lei reminded her out of good intentions.

Don't look at how casual she was usually, when it really came to this point, Hua Rou was just like a little girl.

Hearing Shi Lei's words, Hua Rou immediately closed her eyes.

Sure enough, not far ahead, the whole passageway immediately became different. It was extremely bright, and it didn't look like the scene from the mountain.

Hua Rou still had not yet opened her eyes, but when she was about to look around excitedly, she realized many shocking things.

There were a few corpses here. It seemed like they had just died a few days ago.

To be honest, when he saw all these, Shi Lei's heart had started to thump loudly, as he had a bad premonition.

If it was the group of archaeologists or tomb robbers from before, then after dozens of years, the corpse should have slowly turned into bones. Being able to preserve a complete corpse like this was definitely something that appeared in just a few days.

His back felt cold, and he had no idea what was happening here.

Hua Rou noticed that Shi Lei did not speak for a long time, and a bit of light seemed to have appeared in front of his eyes. As a result, he slowly opened his eyes, and just as he was about to say something to Shi Lei, he also realized that something was wrong.

"It can't be, what, what are these?"

Obviously, Hua Rou didn't know what to do when she saw these bones appear.

"What happened?"

Hua Rou looked at Shi Lei, but it was also her first time here. She simply did not know what exactly had happened here, and could only imagine it herself.

"It's fine, don't panic. Look at the wounds on their bodies, it doesn't seem like a normal cause of death. Perhaps it's because there's something special here. Follow behind me and don't touch anything. Don't go anywhere, understand?"

From the looks of it, the saying that curiosity would kill the cat was a wise saying.

"What should we do next?"

Hua Rou, who had expressed her ambitions outside just a moment ago, was now panicking and did not know what to do.

"Let's keep walking forward. We're already here. It would be a bit unreasonable if we don't continue walking forward."

Shi Lei said with a smile.

When he passed by the corpses, Shi Lei suddenly felt curious, he squatted down, planning to see what was happening, but in the end he found something strange.

These people had different colors on their lips, it was as if they were poisoned. Moreover, when they opened their eyes, their pupils would contract rapidly.

"They were poisoned?"

That's right, this was the manifestation of being poisoned. Moreover, it was extremely toxic. Otherwise, the change in his eyes would not have been so drastic.

"From the looks of it, they must have triggered some sort of switch that released a powerful poison aura, causing their lives to be taken."

Shi Lei gave a brief analysis, then quickly walked forward. This was an unknown place after all, and staying here for even a second longer could bring a large amount of danger.

Hua Rou was also aware of the severity of the problem. Just as she was about to follow Shi Lei outside with her footsteps, she suddenly felt dizzy and weak.

"Not good, Shi Lei, I feel like I can't continue anymore."

As soon as Hua Rou finished speaking, she directly fell down, and the arm that was holding Shi Lei began to slowly descend.

Shi Lei could already tell that something was wrong, he grabbed onto Hua Rou's wrist with one hand and squatted on the ground, trying to prevent Hua Rou from getting hurt. His other hand took out an antidote from his bag and placed it into Hua Rou's mouth.

"Please don't let something happen to you, this is just the beginning, you haven't even seen 'Acupuncture Jia Yi Classic', and you're already falling down like this, are you willing?"

A lot of purple marks appeared on Hua Rou's body, his lips were already showing the same reaction he had when he saw the corpse before, Shi Lei knew that the situation was bad, and knew that his antidote might not have any effect at this time.

"This is …"

Shi Lei did not have any changes, as if nothing had happened. In fact, if not for the change in Hua Rou, it was possible that he did not know that this place was already filled with poisonous gas.

Could it be the Yin And Yang Power in his body?

Shi Lei thought for a few seconds, although he did not know whether his idea was right or wrong, but at this time, he could only try it once.

Because he was already proficient in using it while he was treating Jin Fei, his proficiency was good. Only when the Yin And Yang Power began to slowly enter Hua Rou's body and wander around did the poison slowly disappear.

The purple scars gradually faded away, and the color that was lingering on Hua Rou's lips also slowly disappeared. It seemed as if everything had gotten better.

"What happened to me just now?"

Hua Rou who had come to her senses did not know what had happened to him previously. She opened her sleepy eyes and felt that her body was extremely tired.

"Am I not dead?"

If not for the Yin And Yang Power, and if it wasn't for Shi Lei taking his last gamble, he probably wouldn't even need a minute, and Hua Rou would have died on the spot just like those people.

"Nope, what nonsense are you spouting?"

Shi Lei was so anxious that tears were about to come out of his eyes. He said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "With me, the Medical Sage, here, you still want to die?"

Hua Rou was startled, she felt that the name Medical Sage sounded familiar, but she was unable to remember what it was. She could only smile and say: "Thank you."

On the way here, Shi Lei had only thought that he and Hua Rou were friends. However, he didn't think that after getting along with each other for a few days, Hua Rou's personality would make him feel like a brother.

He almost thought that Hua Rou was hopeless just now, but he was so scared that she had lost her head. Even when she was facing the helpless Old Master Jin, Shi Lei had never felt this way.

"Did you move something just now?"

In order to make this strange idea disappear from his mind, Shi Lei hurriedly changed the topic, planning to stop thinking about this matter.

"Nope. Didn't you say that you can't move around as you please? I was following you the whole time, wasn't I? "

Hua Rou looked at Shi Lei innocently and said as she spread his hands.
