"That's it then."
Xiao Qiang nodded, growing more certain that the old man had been poisoned... But how could such a place be home to poison?
You must know, nurturing poison is no easy task, needing various environmental factors. And how could there be someone here who can actually nurture and understand poison?
This was really beyond Xiao Qiang's comprehension.
If this were to spread, it wouldn't be any better than the plague... Wait a minute... Xiao Qiang seemed to have thought of something, suddenly making a connection.
Could it be that the plague in Shanshui Village was due to this poison?
Those who nurture poisons generally choose the mountains, so as to avoid causing harm to the townsfolk. Poisons do carry diseases that can affect nearby people.
"This is the place."
The old man led Xiao Qiang to a secluded mountain path. Calling it a path was a bit of a stretch; it was marked only by faint trampling, making it just about passable for a mountain path.
