Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Lin Yi, could you ask the team to stop first? If the smell comes from the ancient beast, it will be very dangerous for us to find it like this." It was rare for Li Zaoyi to speak, but his opinion was very pertinent.

"It's not necessary. We have no other method available now. We can only risk it and see if there is any turning point. Even if we really encounter the legendary beast, we may not necessarily die!" Lin Yi smiled slightly and waved his hand. It indicates that there is no need to worry about Li Zaoyi.

None of the spirit beasts who knew the legend of the giant beast took the initiative to stop. Of course, Lin Yi had nothing to worry about. The legend was just a legend. It is estimated that not many people in the spirit beast clan would really believe in the authenticity of the legend. Because of this, That's why these spirit beasts are showing great courage now.

Li Zaoyi nodded slightly and stopped talking. She would support Lin Yi's decision unconditionally anyway, not to mention what he said made sense. Staying where he was would not change the situation at all. In the end, he would just die trapped here. It's better to find some changes, whether they are good or bad, they are always much better than what they are now.

"Fire Lion, have you ever inquired about what that ancient behemoth is? If you know its true form, even if you encounter it, you can be somewhat prepared." Lin Yi was still worried about the legend of the ancient behemoth, hoping that Can get more information.

"I'm sorry, that's all I can find out, and there is no more information." The Fire Lion felt a little ashamed, although it was not his fault.

"No need to apologize. It's good that you can ask so many questions. At least we have a direction of suspicion and know that what we are facing may be an ancient behemoth." Lin Yi smiled slightly and reached out to pat the Fire Lion on the shoulder.

While he was talking, the spirit beast leading the way suddenly stiffened, and then fell straight down. In an instant, it lost all life characteristics and fell inexplicably!

Lin Yi, who had been paying attention to the surrounding situation with his spiritual consciousness, was suddenly startled. The hair on his body stood up, but there was no danger warning in the jade pendant space. Perhaps it was because the danger was not directly aimed at Lin Yi himself, so this situation occurred.

"Everyone, be careful!" Lin Yi could only warn. He didn't know the opponent's location, and he really had no choice.

In fact, Lin Yi didn't need to say anything. The leading spirit beast suddenly died. The spirit beasts nearby felt it immediately. They put on a defensive posture before Lin Yi spoke. Unfortunately, the surroundings were foggy and they didn't know it at all. Which direction should be defended? They can only be as close together as possible, back-to-back to ensure that the angle they need to face is minimized.

Wang Shiyang reacted very quickly. After realizing that something was wrong, the defensive formation talisman immediately expanded and enveloped everyone. The fog that filled the middle was affected by this and was all expelled. Everyone suddenly became clear, including those who fell to the ground. The body of the dead spiritual beast master.

"Brother Wang, thank you for your hard work!" Lin Yi nodded to Wang Shiyang. With him here this time, the safety aspect has indeed been enhanced a lot.

Wang Shiyang waved his hands and said nothing. He followed Lin Yi to the corpse of the spirit beast and examined it carefully.

Judging from naked eye observation, there were no obvious injuries on the body of this spiritual beast master. Lin Yi scanned back and forth with his spiritual consciousness and found no abnormalities.

"Brother Lin, did you see anything? How did he die?" Wang Shiyang frowned slightly, fearful because of the unknown. This is an emotion that no one can avoid.

A master died inexplicably like this. If you don't even know how he died, then who knows if you will be killed like this next? Even if Wang Shiyang is protected by a defensive talisman, he is not sure whether the defensive talisman can defend against this weird attack method?

"It's strange that he had no wounds on his body and died suddenly like this. No one around him was affected. We didn't find anything abnormal before that. The most reasonable explanation is that there was something wrong with him. Resulting in sudden death!" Lin Yi said as he raised his head and looked at the spirit beasts on both sides of the death spirit beast before, but found nothing strange.

In fact, judging from the sudden death of this corpse, Lin Yi felt that it looked very much like the soul after the soul was hooked away by the seductive hand. However, after the soul was hooked away by the seductive hand, the physical body seemed to be dead, but in fact it still retained vitality. When the soul returns, it can be resurrected immediately.

But now the corpse of the spiritual beast is really just a corpse, without even a trace of life. This is not the appearance of the spirit being separated from the body.

In addition, there is also the possibility of death by poisoning. Although there are no symptoms of poisoning on the surface of the body, Lin Yi knows that there are many poisons that can do this.

He was observing the spirit beasts on both sides just now, just to see if they had any symptoms of poisoning. If it was poisoning, there shouldn't be only one, and the two on the side were also likely to be poisoned at the same time.

"You died suddenly? At least there will be a process, right?" Wang Shiyang shook his head, knowing that Lin Yi was just saying it casually.

Li Zaoyi knelt down and did not dislike the ugliness of the corpse. He reached out and looked at the eyelids, lips, fingers, etc. As a skilled doctor, it was not difficult to judge the cause of death from the corpse.

After a while, Li Zaoyi stood up, with a very solemn expression on her pretty face, and she didn't know what she had discovered.

"He didn't have a problem with his body, but died of poisoning! But this is not a simple poisoning. The reasons are somewhat complicated. I'm not sure yet. I need to sort out my thoughts." Li Zaoyi looked at Lin Yi and whispered The situation was stated once.

The people and spirit beasts around him were all shocked. They had been together all the time. Since this guy was poisoned, they were probably poisoned as well. However, they didn't notice any abnormalities at all. This shows the horror of this poison.

Looking at the corpses on the ground, the remaining spirit beasts all felt shuddering. The toxin that could not be discovered at all, once it attacks, is instantly fatal. It is impossible not to worry about it!

"If it's poisoning, it must be the smell he smelled before!" Lin Yi thought for a moment and came to the conclusion: "Of all of us, he was the only one who smelled the smell. Maybe this is the reason for the poisoning. Although everyone is together and breathing the same air, I think toxins should be transmitted through smell. People with better sense of smell have a higher chance of being poisoned, so the rest of us have a high chance of not being poisoned."

Although Lin Yi's intention to soothe people was obvious, the effect was still very good. At least the expressions of the spirit beasts softened a lot. They only thought that what Lin Yi said made sense, but they did not expect that he himself was not responsible for the smell of toxins. It's just a matter of casual conversation.
