Chapter 459: The Grass Heartchild

n the line to vouch that you weren’t a thief.” 。You found the blueprints in your room, you have to give the master an explanation so that others in the house can be convinced. The old man also has no...Following closely behind Xiaolong were three individuals from different clans, known for their high martial arts skills and quick reflexes. They were likely the elders of each family.

Over ten figures appeared around Xiao Long one after another, and the atmosphere immediately became heavy. At this moment, apart from these dozen or so people, everyone else and the camels had already fallen to the ground in the sand.

"What on earth happened" Ling's eyes were red with fury as he glared at Rong Ye, his expression clearly accusatory, as if demanding to know what vile method he had used to orchestrate this.

"Ling Su! What do you mean by staring at me like that Do you think only your Ling family has suffered losses Even if I, Rong Ye, wanted to harm you, I wouldn't use the lives of our Rong family men to exchange for those of your Ling family! Our purpose this time is to seek treasure. Having everyone die here, how can we even find it Use your brain and think about it, would I do such a thing"

Although Rong Ye desperately wanted to kill the Ling family, he also knew how to prioritize. Especially with so many of his own people entrusted here, the pain and anger in his heart were no less than Ling Shu's.

Hearing this, Ling Su's suspicious look eased slightly. However, he turned to Li Yunfan and growled, "Li Yunfan, it seems that the people from your Li family have suffered the least casualties..."

Although Li Yunfan is young, he is the head of his family after all. He was not intimidated by the menacing aura of Ling Zhuo, but only let out a cold snort and said: “Head Ling, don’t bite people indiscriminately. Look carefully, although our Li family suffered the fewest casualties, it was because our people were at the back that we had an extra minute to retreat. Besides, wasn't it your two families who agreed to let our Li family walk at the back Don't forget, last night we reached an agreement: those at the front could also prioritize selecting their cave dwellings in the Treasure Source Ground.”

In the treasure trove, there must be more than one cave with treasures. It's unrealistic to divide all the treasures equally, so the three major families reached an agreement. The team at the front faces the greatest danger, so they have the privilege of choosing the cave first. The teams in the back face less danger, so they choose the caves last.

The positions at the front and middle were already decided by Rong Family and Ling Family's people, Li Yunfan had no chance to choose. Luckily, he didn’t argue with those two families about this matter, because Qin Luoyan's attitude made him more wary in his heart, always feeling that something was unusual about this situation.

After Li Yunfan's mention, Ling Shu and Rong Ye both felt a little awkward, and there was nothing more to say.

"Now, now, please stop arguing. This is not the time for disputes. What matters most is to figure out what really happened. Your men are still struggling in the sand. If we can quickly understand what happened, perhaps we can save their lives." Qin Luoyan spoke at the right moment, stopping the three from continuing to argue.

Rong Ye let out a cold snort. There were only four or five elders left behind him now. He frowned and asked the elders, "Do you know what's going on"

Those several elders simultaneously shook their heads, also with a look of bewilderment. Looking at those people who were already beginning to breathe more out than in, and whose faces were starting to gradually turn black, someone tentatively said: “Their symptoms seem somewhat like poisoning.”

Lin Shu was also asking the people around him, his situation wasn't much better than Rong Ye's. He only had a few martial arts experts left behind him, and those people couldn't explain what was going on either.

There were about ten people left behind Li Yunfan, but the people he brought this time weren't as skilled in martial arts as Rong Ye and Ling Shu's group. They also seemed younger, making it even more confusing.

"Uncle, what do you think" Li Yun asked Li Hai. Among these people, Li Hai was the most familiar with desert terrain, as he had once lived in an oasis in the desert.

Li Hai cautiously took a few steps forward, leaned in to take a closer look, then frowned and said heavily, "They look like they were hurt by grass seeds."

"Grass seed" Li Yunfan seemed not to have heard of this thing. However, the expressions on Ling Shu and Rong Ye's faces changed slightly.

After all, he was a man who had lived most of his life. As the head of a hidden family, he was well-traveled and knowledgeable. His clan's library housed countless books that recorded all sorts of strange and unusual things.

"You're saying the Devil's Thorn, a plant that vanished from the desert decades ago, has reappeared" Róng Yè seemed unconvinced, his tone wavering.

Ling Su also scoffed and growled, "Don't talk nonsense here. That grass core disappeared decades ago. How could it suddenly appear here"

"What Headmaster Ling said, that no one has seen Grass Core for decades, doesn't mean it's completely extinct! Besides, don't forget, those who are poisoned by Grass Core can't possibly survive. It's very likely that many people have seen it, but they all died." Li Hai showed no fear towards Ling Shu and Rong Ye. After all, he was an elder of the Li family. In terms of status, he had every reason not to be inferior.

Rong Ye shook his head, his tone sour. "You say they were poisoned by the grass core Did you actually see a real grass core"

Li Hai let out a cold snort, his tone even more aggressive than Rong Ye's. "It's just bad luck," he said, "I've actually seen someone poisoned by grass thorns once before." He pointed to the person closest to them, who was lying face down on the ground. "Look at his eyes. Those poisoned by grass thorn poison will have slightly yellowed eyes and their lips will be purplish-red with hints of red. Also, look at his boots. Do you see those tiny grass balls"

Following his direction, everyone saw that the people lying on the ground each had several grass balls on their bodies.

Li Hai said again, "Look ahead, isn't there a giant rock there"

"Between the stones, there are grass hearts, and the grass heart body opens to become a ball." Rong Ye couldn't help but read out a passage from an ancient book he had once seen that described grass hearts. A sense of fear finally appeared between Mei Yu and him.

"Master Rong is truly erudite," Li Hai praised, then slowly explained: "Yes, the Grass Core Tree grows between giant rocks. After maturity, if a strong wind blows, the tree trunk will burst, and Grass Core Balls will roll out from within, as small as grains of rice. If touched, it is poisonous, and there is no antidote."

Rong Ye and Ling Shu's eyes were sharp, seemingly seeing the bursting trees from between the giant rocks far away. For a moment, everyone gradually accepted Li Hai's explanation about the grass core.

"If it really was the Grass Core, then… this is truly just an accident." Qin Luoyan sighed, her face full of pity for those lying on the ground, one after another, their breaths extinguished.
