NOVEL NEXT Chapter 446 Closing Reaction
"Perhaps it's a kind of closure reaction. Maybe, all these years, no one has ever experienced it inside this swamp, so it must have formed a sealed vacuum inside."
"A sealed vacuum layer, which means that there are such things beneath us, right?"
"Exactly, that's the idea, but you might not have noticed, at the front position of this isolation layer."
As he spoke, he pointed in that direction.
"Hmm, I see it, what next?"
"Next is the fact that this place has shown signs of destroying the vacuum layer, and moreover, it could cause that enormous pulling force to suck things back in again. So, by the time they crossed this spot, they had already awakened them."
"I get it, that must be the reason. But now that I think about it, I really had some thoughts. If we were a little slower in our actions, could she have fallen through here completely?"
"Yes, as long as her entire body, including her neck and everything below, were to sink further in, then basically there would be no place to dissipate it, because beneath, a vortex space has already started to form."
It seems that a grave danger was indeed encountered, but there was no choice, since they had just gone through it, they felt there was no need to linger on it here. In the end, they still managed to escape this calamity successfully.
"I think we ought to avoid these swamps next. They seem far too dreadful."
Lin Yi said, took a glance back, and then gestured with his hand.
The hunter seemed to understand his intention and subsequently pulled out the map again.
He roughly checked the swamps marked on the map. They were supposed to be recorded, but it was unclear whether this area belonged within their currently defined range.
"Older brother, can you check if this swamp is marked on there?"
The hunter hadn't really looked at the map and just helplessly shook his head.
"What do you mean? Are you saying that this swamp isn't marked on the map at all?"
"When I saw the swamp just now, I compared it with the map. The swamp shown here and its location are completely different, so this place must not have been charted."
"So, to your knowledge, aside from this spot, are there many more swamps within Xi Lian Mountain that haven't been discovered yet?"
"Yes, that's right. Furthermore, the vast number of swamps are also very well hidden." Read exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire
"I've counted roughly on the map, and there should be a record.
It's not just a few. Let me tell you, there must be many more, so we need to be extremely careful on the road ahead, and we must absolutely avoid getting close to this area, understood?"
"Don't worry, after all we've experienced. But some things really are well hidden. If you hadn't been so quick to pull me back just now, I might have been the one to fall in by now."
"That's why you can't continue on this path, you have to stay close to them."
"Okay, I got it. Which direction should we take next?"
"Do you see that? This area here completely blocks that way, we can't get through. If we could get past here, I feel it would indeed be a very sharp weapon."
"So if this route is impassable, do we have to backtrack and then take another direction?"
"Yes, that seems to be the case. Don't hurry, let's first treat your wound, but we must be prepared to spend the night in the wilderness. Looking at the situation, we can't leave the mountains."
While speaking, Lin Yi glanced upward. According to the sun's position, it was clear that it was around 12 noon.
"Alright, I'm ready over here. Lin Yi, come here,"
Ling'er suddenly spoke. Lin Yi nodded and then quickly moved to her side.
Truth be told, Lin Yi was very nervous at this moment.
It wasn't that he didn't believe in Ling'er's medical skills; he knew that for many years, she had been studying these medicinal herbs. Therefore, he understood that she should be clear about the medicinal effects and their applications.
However, it was his first time experiencing such special medicinal herbs in the deep, old forests, which made Lin Yi quite nervous.
He walked over and looked down to see that Ling'er had divided the medicine into two portions in front of her.
One portion was placed in one corner, while the other was set aside. From the outside, however, there didn't seem to be any significant difference.
"Why do you need to divide it into two portions?"
"The medicinal effect of Cat's Claw Herb is very potent. I can only try and see if one portion works. If one isn't effective, we might have to use all of the medicine."
"Are you saying that even if I take all of this medicine, it may not have a decisive effect?"
"No, it will definitely be effective. But as for the dosage, I am still exploring. Additionally, I can tell you that Cat's Claw Herb is actually a poison."
"What, what did you say? Cat's Claw is a poison?"
Lin Yi truly hadn't considered that. When he heard it, his eyes widened in surprise as if he couldn't believe it.
"That's right, it is indeed a poison. Normally, its medicinal effect requires special usage. If there isn't anything else, this medicine would definitely not be used."
"So that's how it is. Then, could this medicine cause other side effects in me?"
"Don't worry, you're poisoned right now, and this poison can neutralize the toxins in your body. There's a saying, 'fight poison with poison,' but I can't guarantee the proper dosage."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi just smiled.
