The Black Mountain Cave was leaderless for a while, and there was no suspense. There was no need to worry about the spread of the plague for the time being, because they had finally found the corresponding object that could restrain it, that is, those black magic-suppressing stones. As long as they existed, things like the evil moss would retreat from the body, just like what Hu Lingshang had just shown, it would be directly discharged from the body.

Therefore, anyone infected with tinea can be treated with the magic stone, which means rubbing the stone around the body and the disease can be basically expelled. In this way, the source of the plague that we had to control before is basically under control. Moreover, with the "vaccine", even if you are infected, it is not a big deal and you can just report it in time.

After this battle, almost all the uninvited guests with bad intentions were wiped out. There should be no more clues on the West Island for a while, but now there is a question, can this side still be handed over to Song Bailu to manage? She has been playing both sides again and again, and I am afraid that my trust in her has long been wiped out.

But from what Hu Lingshang said, it seemed that she had other circumstances. Since there was a country now, she couldn't just act on impulse. She had to follow the rules and do things in an impartial manner. Otherwise, it would be bad if she couldn't convince the public. Therefore, this matter could only be discussed after she returned.

Almost all the experimental facilities in this Black Mountain Cave have been abandoned and turned into a pile of black matter. This cave was originally the territory of the mice, so now we should return it to them and we should set off to go back.

Yunwen and I rode Sanfu, Hu Lingshang went back by herself, while Song Bailu and Su Yuexi rode the big iron man back. The cave smelled extremely bad and the air quality was poor, so we didn't stay there for too long. When we got outside, I saw a giant octopus covered with black scabs lying dead on the ground. Judging from the characteristics of its death, it should have died from having its head stepped on and exploded.

As for someone with such strength, perhaps only the big tin man could do it. Its head was facing the cave, and judging from the traces left on the ground, it simply rushed out of the cave, then sensed the danger and rushed back into the cave, but failed. Some torn tentacles also showed that it tried to break free but was held back, and then was stepped on and exploded.

I also remembered what happened when we were about to enter the cave. At that time, we thought we could just go straight into the cave. However, with several hostages, we entered from the secret passage on the left. Now it is clear that if we had gone directly to the depths of the cave, what would be waiting for us would be this giant squid with countless evil mosses. If this was the case, Su Yuexi and I would not have been so successful.

Fortunately, I had figured out Cheng Feng's personality at that time, so I avoided a disaster.

But later, the Tin Man also came from the coast. He was too big a target, so the giant squid wanted to kill him. So it rushed out of the cave, but was killed in return. It can only be said to be a tragedy.

In order to prevent the lichen on its body from becoming a source of infection and infecting nearby creatures, we burned its corpse clean. As for the cave, we have buried a magic-repelling stone to achieve the effect of purifying the entire cave.

After everything was basically done, we started to go back to the post station according to my arrangements.

In the air, Yunwen and I also talked about Song Bailu. Basically, I still think that she deceived Hu Lingshang, but Yunwen has another point of view. She thinks that Hu Lingshang has lived longer than the rest of us and is more vigilant than the two of us. She is the only one who deceives others, and there is no reason for others to deceive her. Therefore, in this regard, we both temporarily maintain different opinions and will continue chatting when we see the post station.

Of course, in addition to this, I also talked to her a lot about the Cheng Feng we dealt with this time. She couldn't help but sigh with emotion after listening to it, but at the same time she also told me about her understanding of the Death Curse. She said that this thing actually came from not only the resentment of the dead and other folk rumors, but also another origin, which is that it is said that wherever this thing grows somewhere in the deep sea, there may be some kind of strange mysterious substance underneath.

She said that she had accidentally seen this mysterious report in a magazine a long time ago, which said that a substance that had never existed on Earth was discovered, and many elements were brand new elements that had not yet been discovered. It originated from under the sea, and its arrival would breed many strange viruses under the sea. When they encounter dead objects, they will use them as carriers and multiply and grow rapidly.

Therefore, she believed that it was not just caused by resentment, but also because the people who died at the bottom of the sea attracted those parasites.

If they just hide in the seabed, they cannot reproduce, but if they come inland, the situation will be different.

I also remembered that the situation just now was enough to prove this point. After all, the Demon-Subduing Stone was also some kind of foreign thing to some extent. This could be known through Dr. Lola Brown's report. The entire mysterious space was caused by a meteorite that fell here. In other words, including the Dark Lord, they were all caused by the chain reaction caused by this foreign meteorite falling on the earth.

Since the Demon-Subduing Stone itself is an alien substance, it makes sense that it can resist another alien species that exists under the sea. After all, if they are all alien, it is very likely that they originated from the same place, or they may have a counteracting relationship, and the current substances on our earth cannot resist them.

This is just like the lobster infestation in Australia but not in China. When an invasive species arrives, it is rare for it to have a corresponding natural enemy. Unless the alien visitor encounters a natural enemy from home, it is possible to suppress it.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but recall the cave walls covered with wooden boards when I entered the secret passage. It seemed that there was some kind of story hidden there. Perhaps it was related to these things, because this cave was fully equipped with facilities and traps, indicating that Cheng Feng had lived there a long time ago, and covering it with wooden boards meant that he had learned something from there and was wary of others knowing about it.

This can be inferred that the records must contain events related to the origin of the Death Curse in the Sea. Only after he knew this could he sail away to look for the existence of the Death Curse and then start his own journey to death.

Therefore, if we want to explore these alien species next, we have to find a way to understand the limited information to prevent the emergence of something we didn't expect, such as another Cheng Feng or a derivative of the Dark Lord. Taking precautions is something we should always keep in mind in the wilderness world.

On the way back, since this time we were traveling in the air instead of from the bottom of the sea, we could still see the pirate ship. There were axes and skulls painted on it, which really gave a creepy feeling. It was a pity that the ship was parked there, but its owner was no longer there.

But if everyone wants to go on a boat trip someday, you can use it and just take it as a trophy.

"Zhou Bo, when you go back, try to understand Bai Lu's situation as clearly as possible and give her a chance to fully explain. Then we can make a decision, okay?" Yunwen said.

"That's good. She has the deepest understanding of the Netherworld Gang. She also hid in their laboratories and conducted many experiments before. I think she knows the most about these things. So we'll have to see how much she can reveal this time. It all depends on her performance." I said.

Yunwen nodded, and as we passed the coast, Sanfu led us back to the post station. At this time, the hyena people were still on their way back, and the city was empty.

After we came back, I tied up Sanfu, then called all the girls into the house and sat them at the dining table. Song Bailu sat at the seat opposite. This time, I seriously asked her to tell me the whole process without lying, and said that if I discovered any lies again, she would be dealt with seriously and would not be neglected.

So Song Bailu, with a little nervousness and guilt, began to tell the story of what had happened, and as she spoke, she also began to restore the real version. But as Yunwen said, she did intend to put on a show in front of me at that time, cooperating with Cheng Feng's plan to capture me, make me surrender to the Netherworld Gang, and then she could successfully become my queen.

These words were all said truthfully, and everyone frowned when they heard them. However, when they talked about how they were taken away, it was very strange. They said that a group of pirates suddenly came and surrounded the castle in an instant. Hu Lingshang added that when they came, a dark shadow flashed by outside.

When I heard this, my face turned pale. Could it be that besides the Netherworld Gang, there was someone else behind this?
