When Ji Yang's roots penetrated into the underground blood spring, the originally calm blood spring instantly began to surge in waves.
Countless blood-colored bubbles emerged from it, and the water underground splashed, but no water vapor condensed out.
In just a moment, the blood fountain became as hot as magma.
When the blood spring reached a certain temperature, several wisps of black smoke emerged from the blood spring.
Ji Yang's consciousness condensed slightly. The blood spring was pure, and with the filtration of soil, there should be no foreign matter even if it was burned at high temperature.
And these black smoke are the poisons.
But now they have all been wiped out by Ji Yang.
But this is not enough. The blood spring tributaries are still flowing, and the outside tributaries have not been purified yet. He needs to purify all the blood springs once.
Ji Yang maintained this temperature, and the bubbling blood spring was fully revived. The boiling spring water flowed along its original trajectory all the way to various places, merged into the original tributaries, and eliminated the toxicity in them.
When Ji Yang was purifying the blood spring, the entire mass grave mountain also changed.
Countless ice and snow melted, and some parts of the ground were even slightly hot, which was where the underground tributaries were.
After Ji Yang purified the entire blood spring including its tributaries and confirmed that there was no remaining poison, he withdrew his magical powers.
As the Chen family returned to normal, Chen Xingzhen also came out of prayer.
The strange vision just now must have been the work of the sacred tree, but Chen Xingzhen had no idea what the effect would be.
Chen Xingzhen did not stay any longer and immediately led his people to the fertile fields again.
Coming to the field, looking at the blood rice which had not gotten any better, Chen Xingzhen's face became gloomy and he sighed.
It seems that even the sacred tree cannot save the poisoned blood rice.
Is it possible that all the hard work done by the family has been in vain?
Seeing this, many tribesmen became depressed.
They planted the blood rice with their own hands, but were unable to harvest any.
At this time, Chen Yihu stepped forward and said:
"Chief, the blood rice has improved. The red threads have not spread any further."
"Um?"
Chen Xingzhen's eyes lit up when he heard this.
The sacred tree has just taken action. Although it has not solved the problem of blood rice, the problem of the underground blood spring has definitely been solved.
If the natural blood spring returns to normal, combined with the blood rice's own resistance, perhaps they can really come back to life.
After all, the poison spreads quickly and over a wide area. Even if it was originally highly toxic, the effect will definitely be weakened after being diluted in this way, and the natural blood spring itself has a certain purification ability.
At least now these blood rice are not dead, which is good news in itself.
As to whether these ten acres of blood rice can survive, we will need to observe for a few more days to know the outcome.
But this is good news.
night.
The tribesmen who were sent out during the day have also returned one by one.
Chen Tianlu took the lead and said:
"Chief, according to the tribe members' tests, this is indeed a poison, but the toxicity is complex and we cannot solve it here. We can only try to find some antidote herbs to see if it works on this poison."
Chen Xingzhen nodded slightly after hearing this and turned his gaze to the side:
"Tianquan, how about you?"
Chen Tianquan shook his head:
"Everything has been normal at the Mass Burial Hill recently, and nothing unusual has happened. I have also checked the fields next to the fertile fields, and found nothing else. There are some people in the surrounding villages who are proficient in pharmacology, but they are not much different from the tribesmen."
"I see."
Chen Xingzhen replied calmly, and then told a few people about Xuemi's current situation.
Hearing that Xuemi's condition had improved, the faces of several people relaxed a little, and Chen Tianquan said:
"Chief, I will bring some more warriors with me tonight to guard the fertile fields. Maybe the person who poisoned them will come back."
Chen Xingzhen thought for a moment, then nodded:
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
The next day, at daybreak, Chen Tianquan, who was stationed in the fertile fields, was already running towards his family.
After finding the clan leader, Chen Tianquan said with joy:
"Chief, the situation of the blood rice in the fertile fields has changed. The red silk threads are becoming less and less!"
Upon hearing the news, Chen Xingzhen rushed to the fertile fields again.
After Chen Xingzhen's investigation, he soon discovered that after a night of settling, the condition of the blood rice had indeed improved a lot. It was estimated that in a few days, the blood rice would be able to recover and continue to grow.
The ability to recover so quickly is most likely due to the effect of the underground blood spring.
This is also great news for the family.
On the side, Chen Tianlu said:
"Chief, since the blood rice situation has improved, do we need to withdraw the tribesmen we sent out and use them all to guard the fertile fields?"
After hearing this, Chen Xingzhen shook his head and said:
"No, not only can we not withdraw, we need to send out more warriors. Besides looking for people who are proficient in pharmacology, we also need to have them investigate the suspicious people near the mass grave mountain."
After hearing this, Chen Tianlu couldn't help but ask in confusion:
"Patriarch, why is this?"
Chen Xingzhen replied slowly:
"There aren't many people who have grudges against the family, but being able to poison the family's blood rice without being noticed by the family, probably only the four major families have this ability. The other three major families can obtain blood rice from the family, so it probably won't be like this. The most suspicious one is none other than the Shi family. After all, the family and the Shi family have had a grudge for a long time."
"Since it was the Shi family who did it, they would definitely send people to observe secretly. If the family leaks the news that Xuemi is fine at this moment, the Shi family will never give up and may continue to poison."
"It's easy to dodge an open attack, but it's hard to guard against an arrow from the dark. The underground blood spring covers a wide area, and the clan members can't take care of it all. If the Shi family poisons again, how should the family deal with it?"
"What the family needs to do now is to conceal this news and pretend that they have no way to deal with this poison, so as to confuse the people in the Shi family who are secretly spying on them."
Chen Tianquan seemed to be thinking about something after hearing this.
…
In a secluded place not far from the mass grave mountain, Shi Pojing was sitting quietly on a big rock. In front of him was another member of the Shi family.
At this moment, the Shi family member clasped his fists and said:
"Uncle, the Chen family has discovered that the blood rice is poisoned. Yesterday, they dismissed the slaves who were growing the blood rice. At the same time, they set up strict guards around the fertile fields. The members of the family lurking in the mass grave mountain cannot get close for the time being."
"In addition, the Chen family is sending people everywhere to look for someone who is proficient in pharmacology. Some members of the Chen family are even heading towards Yong'an City, probably looking for something to detoxify..."
Shi Pojing showed a faint smile as he listened to the report from his tribesmen.
The bigger the Chen family's reaction, the more anxious they are, and this is exactly the scene he wants to see.
When Shi Pojing heard that the Chen family had sent people to look for someone who was proficient in pharmacology, he even chuckled.
How could the poison of Red Lady be easily detoxified?
However, all things are interdependent and mutually exclusive, and there are indeed things that can detoxify, but they are rare. The family did get some by chance, but they were not for the Chen family, but for the family to use after taking over the blood spring.
