Oh my god! The goddess secretly gave birth to three obedient daughters for me

"Did you see it? This red thing here, this is its heart location, and what's more, it's detected by body heat, so it's actually quite accurate."

"Holy cow, this, this is amazing, with this thing, we're practically invincible."

"That's why I wanted to show you the real power of this device today, Hei Lang, let me handle it."

As he spoke, Lin Yi reached out his hand.

He had dealt with such gadgets before.

Therefore, he had control over how to operate it.

And finally, Lin Yi held it in his hand.

He simply aimed for the heart location of one of the beasts and then pressed the launch button.

The launch was incredibly fast, and they could hear a sound like a screech in the air.

Following that, they heard a dreadful scream from that direction.

In the end, everyone felt as if the whole mountain shook with the sensation of an earthquake.

He quickly picked up the scope again and looked over, he saw that one of them had fallen, but the other had disappeared without a trace.

Subsequently, he held the scope in his hand, searching around, but couldn't catch a glimpse of the other beast.

"Damn it."

He muttered under his breath.

Just now, he was too busy showing off and hadn't anticipated such a strong reaction from the other beast.

"Quick, everyone be on alert, and if you spot any prey approaching from that direction, let me know immediately."

After he finished speaking, the group huddled tightly together and began searching the area.

Normally, his eyes should light up, so if a light appeared nearby, he would be able to see it.

After all, the cave environment was rather dim, so even with a torch, it wouldn't affect the brightness of the light.

"Nothing on my side."

Hei Lang was first to report.

"I don't have anything on my side either."

"Same here, nothing."

"Right, my direction is clear too."

As they spoke, he nodded, confirming that all four directions were clear and that the prey hadn't appeared.

However, this presented a great danger to them.

The beast could leap out from the darkness at any moment, and with such a massive creature against their group of four, it would be incredibly easy for it.

"We've already taken down one of the animals, and if I'm guessing right, it was a pair, one male and one female. I don't know about the other, but if it's a male, its desire for revenge must be very strong, so we absolutely shouldn't linger here long, we need to get away quickly."

The hunter led them on as he spoke, continuing forward.

Following the river's flow, they moved on, and although the path became rugged, they felt as if danger was receding step by step.

If they went any further, the path would become even narrower.

Hei Lang stood guard at the rear, with his back to them.

He was always alert, fearing that prey could attack suddenly. In that case, a quick press of the button should suffice to take down the brute.

"Look, there really is a river."

On reaching the front, they crossed the path and indeed saw a small river.

Although the river was narrow, it seemed to have a very fast flow.

He looked in the direction pointed by his hand; the river was right before them, apparently flowing in from another direction.

"Do you mean we should continue upstream?"

"Yes, we must go upstream because the further up we go, the more it proves we are deep within Xi Lian Mountain. Otherwise, heading downstream will only take us further away."

"Alright, since you have experience in this area, you lead the way. In your estimate, how long might this stream be?"

"Well, that's hard to say. With these mountain streams, sometimes they can stretch for nearly several kilometers, but some, I'm afraid, are only a few hundred meters short. It's really up to luck."

As they talked, they continued walking forward.

Just then, as they followed the river upstream, Lin Yi suddenly stopped.

He looked down and saw that the water here was incredibly clear.

Moreover, as he walked here, the chill emitted from the water seemed to penetrate directly into his ankles.

He subconsciously reached out his hand and touched it.

The water was indeed ice-cold.

"What are you doing?"

Suddenly, the hunter seemed to realize something and turned back to look.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to see how cold the water is."

"Are you crazy?"

"What's the matter?"

Lin Yi was just curious.

All he did was squat down to touch the river water. What's so crazy about that?

"Do you know that these secluded mountain streams can be mixed with a large amount of poison, and by sticking your hand in there, you could very well be allowing poison to enter your body?"

"What? Poison?"

This was something Lin Yi had never considered.

It seemed to him like a tall tale.

"I... I didn't hear you wrong, did I?"

"You heard me right. Quick, stretch out your hand."

As he spoke, he quickly grabbed Lin Yi's hands that had been soaking in the river.

Then, he lifted the torch and took a look.

The hunter saw that Lin Yi's four fingertips that had been submerged were beginning to show some swelling.

"See that?"

He pointed to the spot on his hand and then explained to Lin Yi.

Only then did Lin Yi notice.

He gasped in shock, not expecting that just a brief contact would lead to this condition.

"Give me your torch, let me use it."

Lin Yi extended his other hand and snatched the torch.

He bent down and held the torch over the river.

He clearly saw that, while the river was crystal clear, it was now visibly green.

"What is this?"

He turned back and looked at Ling'er.

Ling'er didn't speak. In fact, she had been observing the river water all along.
