29: Chapter 29 Trivial Skills, Useless Against Me, Daoist Master

Su Chen was the first to react.

He shook his head violently, forcing himself to wake up, then hurriedly checked on the others.

"Captain Song! Wake up!"

Su Chen gripped Captain Song Lei's acupoints, and the man's eyes instantly became much clearer.

"What happened? I just felt like I fell into an illusion; it seemed like I saw those explorers who died earlier!" Captain Song Lei still seemed shaken.

"There's something wrong with the eyes of this Blue-Eyed Fox Corpse; making eye contact with it will trap you in the illusion it creates."

"I see everyone else has been hit too; we need to wake them up quickly!"

As Su Chen said this, he had already reached Tang Xiao's side, only to find that she had already woken up on her own.

"Are you okay?"

Tang Xiao shook her head.

"I-I'm fine. I was just too scared earlier; I only glanced at it and didn't dare to look closely."

Captain Song Lei rushed to Wang Yi's side first, only to see him smile brightly, pat his chest, and say in an exaggerated tone,

"Fortunately, I sensed something was wrong and kept reciting the heart mantra; I was just a hair's breadth away from being hit."

Captain Song Lei breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness you're okay. If even you had been hit, things would have been truly serious."

"Heh, small tricks, completely useless against this Daoist master!"

However, not everyone was so lucky.

The expressions of both Cao Hua and Ye Xing had clearly become sluggish, and their eyes had turned vacant.

"Cao Hua, wake up!" Captain Song Lei slapped his face hard with his palm, but he showed no reaction.

"Ye Xing! Ye Xing!" Su Chen gripped Ye Xing's acupoints, attempting to wake him up just as he had with Captain Song Lei!

Unfortunately, Ye Xing was trapped too deeply in the illusion and could not be woken up at all.

Just then, Cao Hua suddenly let out a roar, startling everyone.

With eyes wide with rage, he lunged at Ye Xing.

"Damn it, you dare touch my head! I hate it most when people touch my head!"

Ye Xing also looked ferocious.

"Cao Hua, you've gone too far! Today, I'll fight you to the death!"

The two instantly started brawling, and the scene became chaotic.

Captain Song Lei hurriedly went to break up the fight, but instead of stopping them, he accidentally took a punch himself.

Tang Xiao trembled in fear.

"Stop fighting! Stop fighting! You'll kill someone if you keep this up!"

Wang Yi frowned, his brain working at full speed as he muttered to himself.

What mantra should be used in this situation... It's too obscure; why can't he remember it right now?

"Golden Light Mantra? No, no, it has no effect."

"Soul-Suppressing Mantra... why isn't it working either!"

Meanwhile, Su Chen's eyes searched the space.

The saying that there must be an antidote within a hundred meters is not just empty words.

The method to wake them both up must be right here in the vicinity!

"Oh my, what's going on? Why are they fighting?"

"Ye Xing is usually such an easygoing guy; how did his personality change so suddenly, and his expression look so ferocious?"

"Don't have internal strife! It's crucial to preserve our strength now. Don't exhaust ourselves before the crisis inside the Ancient Tomb even appears."

"I'm so anxious; can't they be separated? Can Ye Xing's small frame withstand a few punches from Cao Hua?"

"Are they... being controlled by that male corpse?"

"This method is too vicious, making our own people kill each other while they sit back and reap the benefits!"

"Hahahaha, good! Fight well! Make it more intense."

"The Dragon Kingdom's livestream is indeed interesting, haha. You can't see such a famous scene of our own people beating each other up in other countries."

"I said it, how could the Dragon Kingdom change so thoroughly and suddenly become so powerful? It turns out it was all an illusion, so I'm relieved."

"The Dragon Kingdom's ancestors have some tricks up their sleeves; they really know how to pit their own descendants against each other!"

"Hahaha, they won't be wiped out here, will they? This Cao Hua's muscles aren't being put to any use; they're just being used to harm his own teammates. Maybe this squad will be buried by his hands."

"That would be too interesting. The Dragon Kingdom will become the first squad to be eliminated by infighting; that would truly go down in history!"

"Su Chen, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and think of a way!" Captain Song Lei said anxiously.

"I'm thinking," Su Chen replied.

Finally, his gaze fixed on the belt around the Blue-Eyed Fox Corpse's waist.

In the middle of the belt was a black object with the four characters "Yin Xi Bao Di" engraved on it.

Su Chen had an intuition that this black object was unusual.

He hurried over, leaned in to sniff it, and his eyes lit up immediately.

This is it!

Sure enough, the antidote was nearby.

He snatched the black block, broke off two tiny pieces, walked over to Cao Hua and Ye Xing, and stuffed one piece into each of their mouths.

Then he lifted their chins and forced them to swallow.

As the stuff went down, a miraculous thing happened.

The movements of both men stopped in unison.

Then their eyes widened, and they fell straight down.

"What happened to them?" Captain Song Lei asked anxiously.

"It's fine, the medicine is taking effect; they've fainted. They will wake up once the medicine is fully absorbed; it won't take more than a few minutes," Su Chen said calmly.

"Medicine, the medicine's effect?" The eyes of Captain Song Lei and the others landed on the object in Su Chen's hand.

"You mean this pitch-black thing is medicine?" Wang Yi asked.

"Yeah, this thing... is qilin gall," Su Chen said, holding it up.

"qilin gall... what is that again?" Tang Xiao blinked her innocent big eyes.

"It is an extremely precious medicinal herb. After being ingested, it spreads through the blood throughout the body, thereby giving a person the ability to repel mosquitoes and insects."

"Repel mosquitoes and insects? Isn't that a bit like your blood?" Wang Yi was the quickest to react.

"That's right," Su Chen nodded.

"The reason my blood has such magical effects is indeed due to the qilin gall; it's just that the purity in my body is higher, so the effect is better."

"And the way they ingested it, it can only temporarily break the illusion of the Blue-Eyed Fox Corpse. As for other effects, they vary depending on individual constitution."

So that was it.

Unexpectedly, by sheer coincidence, the mystery of Su Chen's special blood was solved.

And from his tone, one could tell that this ability of his was not obtained by simply swallowing qilin gall; it should be a family inheritance.

"Su Chen, if this thing is so useful, can we eat it too?"

"That way, we won't have to worry about being surrounded by insects." Captain Song Lei suggested.

"I agree," Wang Yi chimed in from the side.

"I-I agree too, I guess." Tang Xiao hesitated a bit. After all, that thing looked pitch-black and rather disgusting.
