Poison.

This was a word that made people feel helpless and fearful.

Hearing that, Bai Ruyue immediately went closer to one of them to look, and noticed that her face was green, her lips were purple, and her breathing was weak.

"I see a bird!" At this time, Elder Qiao suddenly shouted and threw away Junior Qiao's hand, before running deeper into the cave. Bai Ruyue immediately stopped him: "Don't go in!"

Just as Bai Ruyue shouted, Ye Yi ran out and quickly carried Elder Qiao back.

"Bird, the bird is inside!" Elder Qiao patted Ye Yi's arm emotionally, and Ye Yi completely ignored him, handing him over to Junior Qiao.

Junior Qiao twisted his mouth but did not say anything.

Bai Ruyue said with an ugly expression, "Elder Qiao, you can't run around without permission in the future! If we are in danger, we'll be in trouble! "

Elder Qiao turned his head and said: "Hmph!"

"Do you have any antidotes on you?" Feed it to a few people and give it a try. " It was impossible for Bai Ruyue to be angry at a child, so she immediately expressed that she would go into the depths of the cave to look for herself.

The deeper into the cave, the weaker the flow of air was. If the poison spread, or even if the gas spread, the chance of being hit by the poison was greater.

Because those people from the Pill Sect had come out from the hole, not only would Bai Ruyue feel danger from the hole, the inside of the hole … She felt that from a cautious point of view, it would be better if she went deeper.

After all, ever since she started to collect pill poisons, her body had no reaction to ordinary poisons.

Bai Ruyue went deeper into the cave under everyone's concern. Looking at the reactions of the people lying on the surface of the cave, the deeper she went, the worse the situation looked.

When Bai Ruyue walked in front of the Dark Back Bird, the bird was not afraid of at all. It tilted its head and looked at her a few times, then turned around and wiped its feathers with its beak.

But right next to the bird, Bai Ruyue could see a person dressed like a villager, but the clothes that this person wore were much more complete than the others, it was obvious that he had some sort of identity.

Bai Ruyue did not care about the bird, and immediately went to check on the man.

This person was on the verge of death!

Bai Ruyue didn't even think as she immediately took out a stalk of Gold Mushroom Grass from her spatial ring that could detoxify poison, chewed it until it was rotten, and then stuck it between the man's eyebrows, and then began to drag him out.

After dragging it for only a short while, Han Yu and Ye Yi stepped forward to help. Just as they were about to pull the person up, the Dark Back Bird flapped its wings and cried out.

Han Yu's expression immediately became ugly, leaving the man, and dragging Bai Ruyue with one hand, and pulling Ye Yi with the other, they ran back to the cave entrance.

"What's wrong?" Noticing that the situation wasn't right, everyone ran out as well.

"That bird is the source of the poison!" Han Yu said nervously as he swiftly took out the pills, "All of you, quickly take these, lest you get poisoned!"

Everyone naturally swallowed their pellets, but Bai Ruyue held the pellet in her hand and looked at the cold jade: "Speak clearly."

Han Yu's face was extremely unsightly, "I've learned about poison somewhere else before. There is a poison that is colorless, tasteless, and even intangible, but it can be transmitted through birds like a plague."

"You mean, that bird …"

"It must have been implanted with this plague like poison. However, it's hard to say how it was implanted, but the villagers were all poisoned because of it!"

When Bai Ruyue heard this, she immediately turned her head to look at the few people who had been electrocuted. Then, she quickly walked to Tu Feiya's side and stuffed a medicinal pellet into his mouth.

In a moment, Tu Feiya woke up.

When he saw Bai Ruyue squatting beside him, he was stunned for a moment, and then, instinctively crawled backwards.

"Tu Feiya!" Bai Ruyue called out to him softly, "I won't hurt you!"

Tu Feiya's body stopped for a moment, and he turned to look at her.

"Tell me, what happened to the people in the cave?"

A hint of panic appeared on Tu Feiya's face: "I, I don't know."

"You know that." Bai Ruyue stared into his eyes: "That bird's body was poisoned by you, right?"

Tu Feiya's eyes revealed a hint of shock, and he shook his head with all his might, but he could not say a single word out of his mouth!

Seeing that, Bai Ruyue took two steps forward and crouched beside him: "At that time, whether or not I was a traitor you have your own plans, you did not stand up for me, I do not blame you, because you have your own plans and decisions."

She pointed at the cave and said, "But the people here are all innocent. What difference is there between this and the murder by the demons? You are harming your compatriots! "

"I didn't!" Tu Feiya explained excitedly: "I am not a demon, and I don't care about doing matters of the demon clan, nor would I do actions to harm my compatriots! By doing this, we are only trapping them here so that the sect master and the others can gain more time. "

"What did you say?" Give Sect Master and the rest more time? " Bai Ruyue looked around, "Could it be that Sect Master is here as well?"

Tu Feiya covered his mouth with his hand but Han Yu had already walked up to him: "Don't cover your mouth anymore, you've already said what you should say. Just tell us a bit more! What is Sect Master and the rest doing? "

Tu Feiya looked at Han Yu with a somewhat awkward expression, but after a few breaths of time, he gritted his teeth and said, "There's a lake to the west, and there's a demon inside. The grand master wants to capture that demon, but that demon is too cunning.

Bai Ruyue rolled his eyes, "So we let you trap everyone here?"

"Yes!" If no one is caught and used as food, the great demon will definitely come out to look for food when it's starving. At that time, the Sovereign and her men will be able to capture the great demon! "

Bai Ruyue pointed to the cave after hearing that, "Other than the villagers, who are the rest of the people in the cave?"

"We'll deal with the villagers like you, but if they protect the villagers and leave this place, they will have to pass by the lake, the demons will eat the humans, and the sect leader will not be able to catch the demons. So we ordered our men to sneak in and feed the bird a medicinal pill, letting it release the poison, to numb those people …"

"How long have you been paralyzing these people?"

"Five days!"

"Have any of the lesser demons been here before?"

"Two days ago, he came out in two waves and was killed by the Sovereign's men. After that, he never came back to see the Little Demon Empress again!"

Upon hearing these words, Bai Ruyue and Ye Yi immediately looked at each other, and said: "Are you sure that no Little Demoness has appeared before?"

"I'm sure!"

"How long are you going to be paralyzed by these people?"

"The grand master said that this poison can be administered for seven days. They will awaken in seven days, so there are still two days left!"

"Humph!" Nonsense! Seven days later, it would be great if only ten of them could survive out of this cave! " Bai Ruyue said as her face darkened, "Do you know that the village elders in the depths of the cave might not even be able to hold on for twelve hours?!"

"It can't be …" Tu Feiya had a face full of suspicion, but Bai Ruyue said with an angry look:

"If I'm not mistaken, these people aren't trapped here to buy some time at all, but are currently being turned into a poisonous food. Your Sect Master wants to use them to poison that greater demon!"
