The big man is not normal, but he is very kind.

“Hehehe...you guys are...lost too?” The big man took out a jar from the camp familiarly, “Are you hungry? There’s food...hehehe...delicious...mushroom meat...hehehe...for you..."

What he took out of the jar was the same mushroom that Sue and Paimon had eaten.

Su and Paimon looked at each other, horror written all over their faces. "After eating that kind of mushroom...will we slowly become like this?!"

Su looked at the big man's gray-purple skin, then at his completely black whites of the eyes, and finally at his crazy behavior. Imagine yourself becoming like this...

Don’t do this!

Feeling Su's hands trembling, Kong couldn't help but hug her tightly and comforted her: "It's okay! You just ate a little, it won't turn out like this! I will definitely find an antidote to save you."

Su buried herself in his arms and whispered a string of numbers.

null:"?"

Su: "This is the password for you, Paimon and Tuo Tuo's accounts at Northland Bank, woooo..."

"Well, interrupt me." As an alchemist, Kritov also has knowledge of plants and pharmacology. He judged: "This person must have taken these mushrooms for a long time to become like this."

The tragic drama of the Travelers came to an abrupt end.

Su took out a hemp rope and prepared to tie the purple-skinned man back to the camp so that the Xumi scholar who was familiar with mushrooms could take a look at the situation.

But this man was unexpectedly strong and struggled hard, "Dark evil demon!... Don't catch me... Big mushroom!"

But then he seemed to hear some guiding voice, slowly stopped struggling, and followed the crowd obediently.

A group of people encountered a pool of sticky black liquid on their way back to the camp.

Paimon covered his nose, "What a terrible smell, is this oil?"

Sora glanced over there and said with certainty, "No, that's not oil."

Although it was very thin, he felt the breath of the abyss.

In addition, there are very unpleasant emotions lingering.

A group of people avoided the ominous liquid and quickly headed towards the camp.

Jin Wu was very excited when he saw the big man, "Old He?! You're still alive!"

Lao He has been a senior in Jinwu for many years. He takes good care of the young people in the mine. Many people recognize this honest old brother.

Not long after he disappeared, the mine was closed due to frequent accidents. Lao He's family felt there was no hope, so they built a tomb for him and held a banquet. Many people from the mine went to mourn him.

Lao He no longer recognizes people. He keeps giggling and muttering about mushroom meat.

Kong handed Lao He's miner's diary to Jin Wu, "He must have been out of food and ate mushrooms in the mine for a long time, so he became like this."

Su and Paimon only took a bite, so it wouldn't turn out like this!

Jin Wu flipped through it and said decisively: "I'll go call Haidifu to check on Lao He's condition."

Haidifu carefully checked Lao He's condition and his diary. "It's okay, nothing serious."

Su: "You call this not a big deal? He has become a fool." His whole complexion is weird!

"There are many Xumi mushrooms, and the adverse symptoms after eating them are so diverse that they can be used to make up a collection of jokes." Haidifu looked knowledgeable. "But it is still rare for long-term consumption to cause abnormalities. We are worthy of being a traveler team. We always encounter magical things."

Hedifu began the treatment by using tweezers to pull out a long and thick mass of flocs made up of thin filaments from Lao He's ear canal.

"This is mushroom hyphae, parasitic on Lao He. These are the things that cause Lao He's ears to itch. This hyphae can grow small mushrooms, and slowly the holes will..."

Su and Paimon turned their heads away from the scene over there, "Ah! Don't explain in detail!"

They will never eat mushrooms again!

······Those produced from the Layered Abyss are not edible.

Hedi spent some time mixing a tube of bubbling potion. Soon after he forced Lao He down his throat, his skin was no longer purple, and the whites of his eyes were no longer pure black, but had turned a bloodshot red.

Although he has not fully recovered, Lao He's condition has improved visibly.

Jin Wu breathed a sigh of relief, "As expected of a scholar from Xumi, how much is this medicine? How many doses do you need to take?"

Haidifu said casually: "The raw materials of the medicine are still very cheap. It's only enough for me to take it for a month in Xinyuexuan. It's not a lot of money. In his condition, he can take it ten more times."

Paimon took a deep breath, feeling extremely envious and at the same time wanting to hit someone.

That super expensive Xinyuexuan! Eating there for a month! It’s not a lot of money!

Even though their Traveler Team was able to make so much money, they still couldn't afford to eat out for a month at Xinyuexuan!

Jin Wu had never eaten at Xinyuexuan, but he had heard of its reputation and price. Hearing this, he felt a headache. "The He family and I will find a way to raise money..."

Haidif waved his hand and said, "You don't have to pay this little money. Instead, I can add something to my report." He will definitely exceed the research target of the Institute of Religious Orders this year!

Su was very interested in Khaidifu's medicine, and felt that it was very effective in detoxifying mushrooms. "Do you still have that medicine? Sell it?"

"It is still possible to prepare it, but this medicine is made from herbs and cannot be preserved for a long time. The efficacy will disappear. I wonder if Mr. Tinari, who invented this medicine, has published a new paper to announce a longer-lasting formula..."

Khediv went back to his shed muttering to himself to continue his research.

Jinwu settled Lao He and returned to notice Kritov, "The kid who sold fake syrup medicine?"

Zhiqiong told Jinwu about the collusion between Qianyan Army and the Treasure Stealing Group to engage in smuggling.

"I will write a report and submit it about this matter. As for this kid..." Jin Wu looked at Kritov.

Kritov managed a pathetic, ingratiating smile.

He could no longer stay in the treasure-stealing group. If he was caught by those "former colleagues" who escaped, he would be dead.

Jin Wu sighed, "Please help me first. There are many equipments in the mine that need maintenance, and I need an assistant."

This guy is not a purely bad guy. The "Da Han Potion" he sold in the past as a scam was actually a delicious fruit juice.

It was specially chilled, which made it more cost-effective than buying drinks specifically, so many miners bought his "potion" even though they knew he was a liar.

It is normal for young people to go astray in a fit of anger. Let's put her in labor reform for a period of time and see if she can turn around.

If you can, that would be great.

If not, then just hand him over to the Qianyan Army.

Everything was almost arranged, and the Traveler Team and Zhiqiong set off again.

Paimon muttered, "I hope everything goes well next." There is still no clue about what they are going to investigate.

Su saw Kong holding his forehead as if he had a headache, and hurriedly asked, "Kong, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to rest for a while?"

"It's okay," Sora managed a smile, "I just started preparing for the worst."
