Versatile Mage - Chaos Administrator

Chapter 171 The Duality of Mountain Frost Lotus

The beating bonfire in the camp swayed in the cold wind, as if it would go out at the next moment.

Lin Xi and several other team members gathered around the bonfire, grabbing the rare warmth and keeping vigil at the same time.

In the wild, especially in high-risk areas like the Tianshan Mountains, someone is necessary to fall asleep at night.

Otherwise you may find that your teammates have been taken away the next day.

In fact, the vigil is not boring. The old hunters in this circle have been bragging about how brave they were, how powerful they were in the past, and how high their prestige was.

In order to blend in with them, Lin Xi also told the story of her life-and-death battle with the Snake Tribe's "Mr." Qin Lan.

However, they seemed to just take what they said as bragging, and just laughed and gave a thumbs up, saying, "Young man, you are very good at bragging!"

Lin Xi shook his head helplessly. If they didn't believe it, there was nothing they could do.

"Brother Lin!"

Lin Xi turned her head when she heard someone calling her, only to find two figures walking over from their camp.

It was He Ming and his brother. They first expressed their gratitude to themselves respectfully, and then explained that they were here to change their posts.

Lin Xi was naturally happy to do this. Who wouldn't want to have a good sleep in a warm tent on a cold night?

After giving a few instructions, Lin Xi was about to leave, but was stopped by He Jue. The young man who had escaped from death pulled Lin Xi aside with a mysterious look on his face.

"Brother Lin, I heard that you are here to find the contract beast?"

This guy seemed to be recovering well, and the wounds on his shoulders had recovered as before. It seemed that his sister had consumed an expensive potion.

"Yes, I have never found the right one. I want to try my luck in this sacred place of Tianshan Mountain." Lin Xi nodded and admitted.

"Then you have come to the right place. Tianshan is a very evil place. Some people just want to make a wish and it will come true when they go to Tianshan!"

He Jue smiled and was about to speak, but stopped and looked around to confirm that everyone was eavesdropping before continuing:

"A white tiger recently appeared in Tianshan. He is still a young tiger with a docile temperament. What I said before are not rumors. You can consider it."

"If I remember correctly, that guy's activity area is at the junction of the meadow layer and the mountain layer."

He Jue turned around and walked to the campfire, chatting animatedly with the new group of hunters who were keeping watch.

To be honest, He Jue's information was a little behind, but the news that the rumor was confirmed strengthened Lin Xi's thoughts.

"It looks like he is truly a descendant of a totem."

He Jue may have revealed such news to himself in order to repay his life-saving grace.

Ding!You have gained the favor of the character: He Jue and received the reward - clues to the descendants of the totem.

Lin Xi shook her head and threw away the nonsensical thoughts and got into the tent.

……

……

"Hurry up!"

"what happened?"

"Something happened! Someone is dead!"

Lin Xi felt that not long after he fell asleep, he was awakened by the noisy voices outside the tent. With his bloodshot eyes, he and Zhao Hua walked out of the tent together.

There was a lot of noise outside the tent, and clusters of torches stood in the dark night and swayed with the cold wind. Even though it was late at night, this small temporary camp was filled with a feeling of panic.

Lin Xi and Zhao Hua squeezed through the crowds and came to the three corpses.

The three corpses died in a miserable state, with green paste pouring out of their noses, eye sockets, ear holes and even their mouths, which looked quite disgusting.

"What is this?" Zhao Hua covered his mouth and nose and said with a buzz.

"Mountain Frost Lotus?" Lin Xi muttered.

"What?" Lin Xi did not respond but squatted down to check. This move also attracted the attention of the old mage who was doing the check. .

"Young man, please stay away from here, lest you get angry."

After Lin Xi obtained the information she wanted, she left the crowd with Zhao Hua.

That's right, it's the host body parasitism caused by the mountain frost lotus. The death state is exactly the same as in the original work.

"Hey, did you find something? Why are you so anxious?"

Zhao Hua followed up panting, followed by the He family siblings.

"Have you ever felt unwell, chest tightness or shortness of breath?" Lin Xi looked at Zhao Hua and called the He family siblings over.

"I don't feel anything, it's fine." Zhao Hua felt it and found that there was no discomfort.

"I, cough, I'm a little uncomfortable." He Ming covered her chest and coughed slightly, but it was not serious.

Lin Xi looked solemn as he led a few people back to the camp, woke up the others in the team, and asked about their situation.

The situation was not optimistic. Except for himself, Zhao Hua and Shen Mo, who was not a human being, everyone else felt uncomfortable.

"Could it be that it was caught by some poison? How about boiling some mountain frost lotus?" Liu Fang suggested, and Su Tieyun also expressed his affirmation.

"If you still want to live, don't drink that stuff." Lin Xi frowned and reminded.

"Young man, Mountain Frost Lotus is a very good thing. It can eliminate more than [-]% of the poisons known so far."

Perhaps because Lin Xi saved He Jue, Su Tieyun was much more polite to Lin Xi.

"Or do you have a better way?"

Su Tieyun's family has been prosperous in making a living in Tianshan for many years, and has never had any accidents.

When danger arises, he can avert the danger and even make a fortune out of it.

However, it seems that they have not been exposed to the reproduction method of Heshan Frost Lotus, just like many old farmers who depend on the mountains.

They know where Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng are found, but they don’t know how these things grow and reproduce.

Everyone turned their attention to Lin Xi, and even Shen Mo cast curious glances.

Lin Xi knew that no one would believe him if he didn't provide evidence or a solution. In desperation, he could only reveal the reproduction method of the Mountain Frost Lotus.

As soon as these words came out, everyone showed expressions of disbelief.

"How is this possible?" Su Tieyun didn't believe it the most. He would rather believe that they were being targeted by a commander-level poisonous demon.

"Senior He Ming, have you seen them boiling water with the Mountain Frost Lotus before?" Lin Xi looked at the He family siblings.

The three people who died were staying vigil with them at night.

He Ming frowned and recalled for a long time before finally giving a positive answer: "Well, they did mention that they would boil water with the Mountain Frost Lotus."

That hunter group was relatively wealthy and came earlier. It acquired most of the Mountain Frost Lotus in Pan Town very early.

I thought this would be a road to wealth, but unexpectedly it turned out to be a road to failure.

The ironclad evidence is before their eyes, and no matter how unwilling they are to believe it, they have to accept it.

"Then what should we do now?" Mr. Nian, who had been silent, finally spoke:

"If we leave it alone, I'm afraid we will die on the way before we even get out of the meadow level."

Mr. Nian pointed to other people in the distance. Their condition was more serious. Some people were already lying on the ground and vomiting violently.

"Don't worry, since I stopped you, I will find a way."

Lin Xi lowered her eyes and held her chin in thought.
