After walking and stopping for several hours, they finally mustered the strength to stop digging and reached the deepest part of the forest before dark.
Deep within the Blood Punishment Forest, towering trees stand one after another, so dense that hardly any light penetrates, causing this world to be shrouded in a gray haze. The extremely low temperature and humidity keep the area shrouded in fog all day long, resulting in very low visibility.
This should have been the most dangerous place, yet there was no sign of any living creature.
But this also shows that, apart from insects, it seems that no wild animals dare to make their home here.
It was eerily quiet all around.
The two had already donned gas masks to cover their mouths and noses, because this place was covered with a kind of dark purple flower. This flower was extremely beautiful, and its leaves were also dark purple. The name of the flower was—
Half-step madness.
This was the source of the poison that Tan Lingjian was poisoned with.
The flower of the Half-Step Insanity contains neurotoxins. Even a small dose can cause a person to slowly go insane, gradually leading to death. An excessive dose at one time can cause a person to meet the King of Hell before they can even take half a step.
Half-step epilepsy typically grows in extremely cold and shady places. Where it grows, no animals will live; they will all go around it, which shows how dangerous it is.
But there is an animal that feeds on this flower. That animal is completely white and looks like a deer. It is called the "Dian Dian Deer".
Half-Step Madness contains trace elements that Mad Deer lacks but needs to supplement, while Mad Deer will not be harmed by its toxins after eating Half-Step Madness, thus creating a synergistic relationship between the flower and the beast.
All of the above is just hearsay.
It is said that there is no cure for the poison of Half-Step Epilepsy. Everyone who has been poisoned by it has died, and very few people have been poisoned by it because Half-Step Epilepsy itself is difficult to grow, and the source of the poison is very rare.
I've also heard that the Mad Deer only exists in legends, because no one has ever seen one.
And about these rumors.
A-Gu had seen the Mad Deer once, right here in the Blood Punishment Forest, a white beast that flashed by.
He knew about the large area of the Half-Step Deer when he came here before, but he didn't see any deer when he came. However, there were traces of the Half-Step Deer that had been there, and he also saw it briefly once, so he was certain that it existed.
As for the antidote for Half-Step Epilepsy, he didn't actually know what it was.
Because I've never actually had any contact with it.
Whether or not an antidote can be developed remains to be seen until he captures the mad deer.
They set a trap, and the two of them squatted in the tree, waiting for night to fall.
Because the habit of the mad deer is that it is nocturnal.
Hua Ansu had already released electric mosquitoes to search for the eccentric deer, but strangely, there was no news of him.
Are there no more Mad Deer in the Blood Punishment Forest?
That's impossible! This half-step madman has been gnawed on quite a few times. Judging from the marks, there's more than one. How could there be none?
She had no choice but to put away the electric mosquito repellent and continue to wait patiently, chatting idly with Ah-Gu, "Are you cold? Do you want to put on another layer?"
She was afraid that A-Yi-Gu would get cold.
The little pink one jumped out to make a promise, "Master, I won't let my master get cold!"
Hua Ansu remained expressionless. "Who was it that had A-Yi-Gu frozen on his very first day in office?"
The little pinky said innocently, "That snake is ice-type, and it wasn't set up to deal with ice-type energy..."
Hua Ansu, "..."
So you mean it's her fault? Is it because she didn't set it up completely?
"But it's perfectly fine for it to keep its owner warm!"
Seeing that Hua Ansu had failed with the little pink girl, A-Yi Gu said quietly, "You can be quiet now."
