"Lin Yi, can you tell the team to stop first? if the smell is coming from the ancient beast, it'll be dangerous for us to continue our search." It was rare for li Zao Yi to open her mouth, but the opinions she raised were very pertinent.
"There's no need for that. We don't have any other methods at the moment. We can only take the risk and see if there's any turning point. Even if we encounter a legendary beast, we might not necessarily die!" Lin Yi smiled and waved his hand, telling her not to worry.
The spirit beasts who knew about the legends didn't stop, so Lin Yi didn't have to worry. Legends were just legends, and not many people in the spirit beast clan would believe in the truth. It was because of this that these spirit beasts were very brave.
Lizao Yi nodded slightly and didn't say anything else. She would support Lin Yi's decision unconditionally. Plus, what he said made sense. Staying in the same place wouldn't change the situation at all. They'd just be trapped here. It was better to find some changes. It didn't matter if it was good or bad, it was better than this.
"Great Fire Lion, have you found out what that ancient giant beast is? If I knew its true form, I would be able to prepare myself even if I were to encounter it. " Lin Yi was still worried about the legend of the ancient beast and hoped to get more information.
"I'm sorry, that's all I can find out. There's nothing else. " The Great Fire Lion was a little ashamed, even though it was not his fault.
"No need to apologize. It's already good that you've asked so much. At least we have a direction of suspicion and know that we might be facing an ancient giant beast." Lin Yi smiled and patted the lion's shoulder.
While they were talking, the spirit beast leading the way suddenly froze and fell straight down. In an instant, it lost all signs of life. It had actually died inexplicably!
Lin Yi, who had been using his spirit sense to observe the situation, was shocked. His hair stood on end, but the Jade space didn't give him any warning. Perhaps the danger wasn't directed at Lin Yi himself, so this situation appeared.
"Be careful, everyone!" Lin Yi could only remind him. He didn't know where his opponent was, so he couldn't do anything.
In fact, Lin Yi didn't need to say anything-the spirit beasts at the side felt it immediately when the spirit beast in the lead died. They were in a defensive position before Lin Yi even spoke, but it was all foggy and they didn't know which direction to defend. They could only stay close to each other and back to back to minimize the angle they had to face.
Wang Shiyang's reaction was extremely fast. As soon as he noticed that something was wrong, he immediately expanded the defensive talisman and enveloped everyone in it. The fog in the middle was affected by this and was all expelled out. Everyone's vision became clear, including the body of the dead spirit beast expert.
"Brother Wang, thank you for your hard work!" Lin Yi nodded to Wang Shiyang. It was indeed much safer with him around.
Wang Shiyang waved his hand and didn't say anything else. He followed Lin Yi to the beast's body and started examining it.
There weren't any obvious injuries on the spirit beast's body, and Lin Yi scanned it with his spirit sense, finding nothing unusual.
"Brother Lin, do you see anything? How did he die?" Wang Shiyang furrowed his brows slightly. Fear was born from the unknown. This was an emotion that everyone could not avoid.
An expert had died so inexplicably. If he didn't even know how he had died, who knew if he would be killed in the same way? Even though Wang Shiyang had a defensive talisman to protect him, he wasn't sure if the talisman would be able to defend against such a strange attack.
"It's very strange. There were no wounds on his body, and he died so suddenly, but the people around him were not affected. Before this, we did not find anything unusual. The most reasonable explanation is that something happened to his body, which led to his sudden death!" Lin Yi said as he raised his head to look at the spirit beasts on both sides of the dead spirit beast. He didn't see anything strange.
From the way the body died, Lin Yi thought that it looked like the soul Reaper hand had taken away the body's essence. However, even though the body looked dead, it still had life. As long as the essence returned, it could be revived immediately.
But now, the spirit beast's corpse was really just a corpse. It didn't even have a trace of life. This wasn't what it looked like when the primordial spirit had left the body.
Other than that, there was the possibility of death from poisoning. There were no signs of poisoning on the surface, but Lin Yi knew that there were many poisons that could do that.
Just now, he had observed the spirit beasts on both sides to see if they had any symptoms of being poisoned. If they had been poisoned, there shouldn't have been only one. It was very likely that both of them had been poisoned.
"He died on his own? There should at least be a process, right?" Wang Shiyang shook his head, he knew that Lin Yi was just saying it casually.
Li Zao Yi squatted down. She didn't mind the ugliness of the corpse. She reached out and looked at the eyelids, lips, fingers, etc. As a brilliant doctor, it wasn't difficult to determine the cause of death from the corpse.
After a moment, li Zao Yi stood up, her pretty face extremely serious. It was unknown what she had discovered.
"It's not that there's something wrong with his body, he died from poisoning! However, this isn't a simple case of poisoning. The cause is a little complicated, and I can't be sure at the moment. I need to sort out my thoughts. " Li Zao Yi looked at Lin Yi and explained the situation to him.
The surrounding people and spirit beasts were all shocked. Everyone had been together the whole time, and since this guy was poisoned, then they were most likely poisoned as well. However, they did not notice anything unusual, which showed the horror of this poison.
Looking at the corpses on the ground, the remaining spirit beasts felt a chill run down their spines. The poison that could not be discovered at all could be fatal in an instant once it took effect. It was impossible for them not to be worried!
"If he was poisoned, then it must be the smell he smelled before!" Lin Yi thought about it and came to a conclusion,"Among all of us, only he smelled it. Maybe that's the cause of the poison. Although we're all together and breathe the same air, I think the poison should be transmitted through smell. The better the sense of smell, the higher the probability of being poisoned. So, there's a high chance that the rest of us are not poisoned."
Although Lin Yi's intention to calm people down was obvious, the effect was still very good. At least the spirit beasts "faces looked a lot better. They thought that Lin Yi was right, but they didn't know that he was just saying that he could pass the poison through the smell.
