Chapter 567: The Solution
Chapter 567: The Solution
"Iron Jade, you must remember to be extremely cautious when researching this type of fungus. Not only is it dangerous for ordinary people, but even Awakened ones can be in grave danger if they're not careful and come into contact with its toxins."
Inside the medical station, Lindsey assigned Iron Jade to conduct the corresponding drug research.
He chose the first treatment option, and the materials he needed were old friends he had acquired during his adventures.
【Fungus: Luminothorn Mushroom】
【Contains highly dangerous, rare, and corrosive toxins.】
【A rare fungus of high value.】
Lindsey took out several pale-colored 【Luminothorn Mushrooms】, and Iron Jade, wearing gloves, carefully took them from him.
With just a bit of his medical knowledge, Iron Jade immediately recognized the danger:
“This… the toxin is so terrifying!”
“Sir Lindsey, this can definitely cure the Corruption Toxin, but if it were to leak accidentally, it might be even more dangerous than the Corruption Toxin itself…”
Clap!
Seeing Iron Jade's reaction, Lindsey patted the young man's shoulder:
"So, you must be very careful when researching it."
"I trust you, do your best!"
Lindsey's words instantly energized Iron Jade!
The 【Luminothorn Mushroom】 indeed lived up to its reputation, capable of eroding even the residual Awakened skills of High-Rank Awakened. Naturally, this low-level Corruption Toxin was not an issue.
The only problem might be its excessive toxicity.
Iron Jade's task now was to dilute the toxin as much as possible and then research how to cleanse the toxin while keeping people alive.
Lindsey bid farewell to Iron Jade and returned to his residence.
With no one disturbing him, Lindsey sat down on the iron chair of the fishing platform, and his thoughts gradually drifted back to the past.
"The Abyss School, are they also involved in what's happening here?"
"And what are Deformants?"
Lindsey clearly remembered that among those Awakened with Quintessence Techniques, there were descriptions of corpse deformation properties.
The information provided by the 【Game Player】 skill was often highly accurate.
Since they were not called Deformants but were the original Revivers, it indicated a relationship between the two, but fundamentally, they were not the same.
"The Extinction Crown follows the path of 【Carnage】, a power of all-out slaughter; that Dark Commander follows the path of 【Darkness】. So now, the Abyss School has a third path, Corruption Toxin? Deformation?"
"Those who have revived from the past, due to their ancient grudge, have come to the City of Laws for revenge."
Lindsey's thoughts were logical.
In the past, the Lawful Ones and the Extinction Crown had destroyed each other.
Now, with these individuals possessing revival abilities reappearing in the world, it made sense for them to take action here.
"Sir Lindsey, I heard there's been a breakthrough at the medical station?"
At this moment, Hammer happened to arrive.
Lindsey nodded to the middle-aged man and made space for him beside him:
"Yes, there's been a significant development at the medical station."
"It won't be long before we establish contact with the Insect Tribe. For this matter, I need you to select some people skilled in communication beforehand, who will act as messengers for both sides."
Hammer immediately tensed up and stood straight:
"No problem, I guarantee I'll complete your task!"
"I'll select the most skilled communicators in the territory and definitely build a good relationship with them!"
After making his promise, Hammer also updated Lindsey on the progress of the day's work.
As Lindsey was about to leave, Hammer suddenly spoke up, "Lindsey, hold on. I have some questions for you."
Hammer's expression became serious. "Please, go ahead."
Lindsey asked, "In this Barren Land, or as it was once known, the Tearmoon Mountain Range world, did a plague occur? A highly infectious one that could even corrode human flesh?"
Hammer lowered his gaze, carefully recalling what he had heard in his childhood.
After a few minutes of deep thought, he slowly raised his head and replied, "A highly infectious plague, I believe there was such a thing."
"But I heard from my mother—that terrifying disease suddenly disappeared after some time, without causing a major stir in this world. What truly brought about the destruction was the depletion of the world's vitality."
At this point, Hammer realized, "Ah, you mean the plague that infected the Insect Tribe, the one from back then?"
Lindsey nodded.
"Yes, it should be that. Do you have any other information about this?"
Hammer shook his head. "I'm sorry, Lindsey, this is all I know."
"If you need more information, I can search within the territory. Perhaps others have heard something about this."
Lindsey nodded in agreement. "Good, I'll leave this matter to you. Go ahead."
Hammer left Lindsey's courtyard.
Alone on the fishing platform, Lindsey began to summarize the information he had gathered.
"The plague that occurred was related to the Abyss School and could corrupt life."
"But they suddenly disappeared..."
Lindsey immediately thought of the explorer's notes.
According to Silude, the explorer who once roamed these lands was at least a Stage Six existence.
With such power, they could have potentially resolved many crises.
"He went south to find the source of the plague. Did he truly resolve the issue?"
"But why didn't he return to address the Insect Tribe's plight... Perhaps he met his end with the Abyss School?"
"..."
Lindsey was perplexed, unable to find a solution.
The reason was that he had too little information to draw effective conclusions.
Moreover, the source of the plague was in the south of the world, and the ruler of the Green Marsh there was likely problematic.
"Saving the world is far more complicated than I imagined."
"..."
"Lindsey, Lindsey!"
That day, Lindsey, who was at a loss, heard a voice calling out from outside his home. It was the voice of the wildland hunter Dune.
The hunter, who was supposed to return in two days, had returned early!
"Dune?"
Lindsey opened the door and stepped out.
He immediately saw Dune's excited figure on the street, and the hunter had even left his two subordinates behind, rushing ahead alone.
Moreover, his hands, filled with joy, were holding a bag from behind.
The bag's surface was constantly twisting and deforming, as if something inside was struggling vigorously.
Lindsey was curious, "Dune, what have you got there?"
"Lindsey, look!"
Dune excitedly opened the bag.
Accompanied by wailing screams, a young wild boar, its body dark and shiny, struggled and ran out.
