Chapter 230: Mountain Frost Lotus? Bloodthirsty Lotus!

With the help of Luo Chen and his group, everyone quickly overcame the crisis.

Many members of the mercenary group were secretly thankful that they had not done anything out of line, otherwise, everyone in this team would have given them a hard time!
Without the threat of the desert bone-eating spiders, the team moved forward very smoothly and soon reached the top of a reverse slope.

As for why we have to stop here, it’s because a flood of rocks is about to come.

After the flood, the entire desert rift became silent, and some corpses buried on the surface could be seen along the way.

It seems that the debris flow is also an unpredictable natural disaster for the creatures living here.

"There are a lot of corpses ahead." said Tommy, who was in charge of finding the way.

"There's nothing strange about the corpse." said Gavin, the regiment commander.

"It's human."

"Oh, that's nothing strange."

Gavin still didn't care. It was normal to have casualties in Tianshan. Their Mailon Mercenary Group had suffered quite a few casualties.

"These people were not killed by the flood. They should have avoided the flood like us, but we don't know why they died."

Tommy glanced at the deputy leader, Kuma, and continued.

"He was killed by some demon." Gavin said impatiently.

"No obvious signs of death were found."

"Maybe it's poison." Kuma didn't take it seriously either.

"Yeah, I think so too. Since they died on our way forward, it means we may encounter them next time," said Tommy.

After the team in front stopped, Luo Chen and his group behind had to stop moving forward as well.

"What's going on? Why did it stop for no reason?"

Jiang Yu glanced at the team in front and said with a puzzled look on his face.

"It seems like I encountered something..." Jiang Shaoxu said.

Not long after, the team continued to move forward. After they had walked for a distance, they saw some frozen bodies.

Lingling was obviously an old hand. She immediately put on gloves and a mask and went to the bodies to check them.

Wo Dang and several other members of the mercenary group saw the young loli girl running over with shining eyes, and the expressions on their faces were extremely strange.

Lingling didn't care at all, as the body contained too much information.

Information is very important. Any important information collected from this unknown Tianshan Great Rift Valley can avoid some dangers.

"Did you find anything?" Mo Fan asked Lingling.

"Very strange." Lingling's first words made everyone feel nervous.
"From the clothes they were wearing, it seemed that they had reached the meadow layer. The mosses and shady grass that were only found in the meadow layer were still hanging on their clothes."

“Since they had walked out of the desert layer and reached a canyon at a higher altitude, why did they run back here and die?” Nanyu asked.

"What was the cause of death?" Mo Fan asked.

"The cause of death was suffocation, but I can't find out what caused it," Lingling said.

"poison?"

“I thought so at first, but if it was poison, they should have stayed in the meadow layer.

Anyone with a little common sense should know that they should look for an antidote near where they were poisoned." Lingling said.

As Lingling spoke, she looked at Luo Chen with curiosity.

For Lingling, if there was anyone here who was more professional in medicine than her, it would only be Luo Chen.

There aren't many master doctors in the world...

Seeing Lingling's eyes full of expectation and curiosity, Luo Chen glanced at the corpse beside him, and then used both hands to confirm the internal condition of the corpse. "Lingling, cut open his heart, and you will know what's going on!"

After Luo Chen confirmed that there was no error between the information in the original book and reality, he pointed at his body and spoke to Lingling.

"Isn't it too cruel to dissect the heart after death?"

Jiang Yu said with some nausea.

"How can medicine progress without cruelty? Since the predecessors have died, we naturally need to find out the reasons for their death so that the later generations can live..."

"Correct!"

Lingling nodded, then used a scalpel to dissect out the heart of the corpse.

Luo Chen was a little stunned when he saw Lingling perform a series of skillful moves. He didn't know when Lingling had learned this skill.

Soon, a shrunken heart appeared before everyone's eyes.

Luo Chen used telekinesis to take the heart, and then with a thought, the heart shattered instantly!

Immediately afterwards, a bunch of green juice burst out from the heart, and a bud monster with legs also fell down!

Everyone was shocked, and Luo Chen directly picked up the bud monster!

The bud monster is ferocious, only the size of a little finger, but seems to be extremely strong and very aggressive.

After being lifted up, it quickly grew tentacles and rushed towards Luo Chen's nasal cavity, trying to block Luo Chen's respiratory tract.

Luo Chen's eyes focused, and the guy's green horns were instantly shattered.

When everyone saw this scene, they were even more shocked and frightened. It turned out that such a terrible but inconspicuous thing caused the death of so many people!

"What a horrible thing. Is this what caused so many deaths? But how did it get into people's hearts?"

“It’s simple, it’s eaten.

Many people will be affected by pollen on their way up the mountain and suffer from various pollen allergies similar to altitude sickness.

The pollen is emitted by the Mountain Frost Lotus, and the purpose is to make people eat the Mountain Frost Lotus.

The Mountain Frost Lotus can indeed cure many diseases, but this is only true for people who do not have special physical constitutions.

For people with special physiques, the Mountain Frost Lotus will parasitize in the human body, absorb nutrients, and bear fruit.

If we hadn’t come, this corpse would have become the nutrient for a new Mountain Frost Lotus in a few decades, and the above process would have repeated itself…”

Luo Chen explained calmly.

Luo Chen’s explanation instantly made everyone feel a chill in their hearts.

"This makes a lot of sense. The reason these corpses came back is to find the Mountain Frost Lotus as an antidote!"

Mo Fan nodded affirmatively.

"It's such a terrifying thing. Fortunately, Luo Ge is here. Otherwise, if we were to be attacked, I'm afraid we wouldn't be much better than the corpse in front of us..."

Zhao Manyan also spoke with fear.

The others also nodded and expressed their feelings.

"In that case, let's go and warn the mercenary group so that they don't fall into our trap and delay our progress!"

Ai Jiangtu said.

Luo Chen naturally nodded affirmatively. The fewer people who were tricked, the less it would slow down their progress.

Immediately afterwards, Luo Chen went to pick up the bud demon mother of the Mountain Frost Lotus.

This thing has high research value. Luo Chen might be able to cultivate a superior variant if he cultivates it.
