You made all the streamers on the internet kneel before you when you were asked to make a game.

Brother Long was instantly brought to his senses by Liu Yedao's shout.

He froze on the spot, cold sweat pouring down his face.

He then remembered Professor Chen's warning.

I almost triggered the rule-based kill!

The "human-face mushroom" that he kicked began to undulate violently after being touched, as if something was about to crawl out from inside.

And in the soil around it, the dozens of "dregs" all stopped groaning.

They all turned their murky eyes toward Brother Long.

Oh no, Brother Long has really messed up this time!

In places like this, one wrong step and you're dead!

Look at the expressions on those medicine residues! They're about to mutate!

Brother Long stood frozen in place, not daring to move an inch.

He could sense that if he made any further unnecessary movements, the hundreds of "dregs" around him would instantly transform into the most terrifying monsters and tear him to pieces.

What should I do?

At this moment, Liu Yedao slowly released his grip on Brother Long.

Then the action was unexpected.

She crouched down, reached out, and gently stroked the still-undulating "human-face mushroom."

It's like comforting a frightened child.

The "human-faced mushroom" gradually calmed down after being touched by the scalpel.

The malice in the eyes of the surrounding "dregs" gradually faded away.

They lowered their heads again and continued to groan in pain without end.

Brother Long's legs went weak, and he almost knelt on the ground.

"Big...Big sister...what's wrong with you...?"

Liu Yedao stood up and said calmly.

"Although they have been refined into medicine, they still retain a trace of their plant instincts."

"You kicked it, and it felt threatened, so it retaliated."

"I comforted it and told it that I meant no harm, and it calmed down."

The viewers in the live stream were stunned for a moment before they reacted.

Are all forensic scientists' brains this bizarre? Are they treating ghosts like potted plants?

[Brother Long: I'll take care of causing trouble, Sister Liu will take care of cleaning up the mess.]

[The leader of the Scientology cult: No, she's not just flattering. She's exploiting a logical loophole in the "medicine protection mechanism." This mechanism should be triggered by "malicious harvesting," but her actions are being interpreted as "protection."]

Lu Zhixing's analysis was incisive.

The procession continued forward.

This time, everyone was much more careful.

However, they didn't go very far.

A series of heavy, dragging footsteps suddenly came from the dark depths of the cave ahead.

The footsteps, approaching from afar, were a very strange sound.

It looked like someone wearing straw sandals was dragging one leg across a gravelly surface.

Each strike was heavy and oppressive.

Everyone immediately stopped in their tracks, held their breath, and looked warily in the direction from which the sound came.

The ghost bride once again shielded Brother Long and the others behind her, her blood-red wedding dress fluttering without wind.

soon.

A huge, hunched figure slowly emerged from the darkness.

That was a "person" who was over three meters tall.

He wore a tattered gray Taoist robe and carried a huge medicine basket made of vines that was taller than himself on his back.

His back was hunched high, like a small mountain.

His entire being exuded a strong, almost tangible, rotten smell of herbs.

On her face, where her eye sockets should have been, were two smooth, healed dents.

Judging by his appearance, is he the caretaker of this medicinal herb garden?

He has no eyes! How did he find us?

"It's the pharmacist who guards the garden," Professor Chen said in a low, serious voice.

"According to ancient records, some heretical Taoist temples would specifically train these 'medicine people'."

"They were blinded from birth and spent their days surrounded by all sorts of insidious and poisonous herbs."

"Although their vision is impaired, their sense of smell becomes a hundred times more sensitive than that of a hunting dog."

"He can smell the...living scent on us."

The voice just fell.

The enormous, hunchbacked pharmacist stopped in his tracks.

His eyeless face slowly turned toward the direction where everyone was.

Then, he raised his nose and took a deep breath.

The gesture was as if they were savoring some exquisite delicacy.

A naked, blatant greed and malice instantly locked onto everyone.

"Oh no!" Professor Chen's expression changed.

"He's found us! He sees us as 'human-shaped medicinal herbs' to be harvested!"

"Damn it! What are we waiting for! Wife, let's get him!" Brother Long shouted instinctively.

But the ghost bride shook her head.

"This pharmacist is enveloped in the 'earth energy' of the entire medicinal garden."

"To make a move here is tantamount to making an enemy of the entire cave..."

In other words, even the ghost bride wasn't sure.

A chill ran through everyone.

The pharmacist seemed to become somewhat excited after "smelling" them.

He threw down the medicine basket on his back, let out a deep roar, and strode towards the crowd.

With each step he took, the entire cave seemed to tremble slightly.

The "dregs" on the ground also let out even more mournful howls, as if cheering for the upcoming feast.

"Quick! Find a way to cover up our scent!" Lancet made a decisive decision.

To mask the smell?

This place is nothing but mud and rotting herbs, how can it be covered up?

"Use those medicine dregs!"

Professor Chen, in a moment of inspiration, pointed to a piece of "medicinal residue" at his feet that had completely rotted and turned into a puddle of black mud.

"Smear his rotting fluids all over your body!"

"Use an even stronger aura of death and medicine to mask the presence of our living beings!"

This is undoubtedly an extremely disgusting method, but it may be the only effective one.

"quick!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Liu Yedao was the first to squat down and plunge his hands directly into the pool of foul-smelling black mud.

Then, without hesitation, he wiped it on his face, neck, and clothes.

The intense stench, a mixture of the smells of corpses, decay, and medicine, instantly enveloped her.

Brother Long felt a wave of nausea wash over him, but now was not the time to be sentimental.

He gritted his teeth and, imitating Liu Yedao, grabbed a handful of black mud and smeared it haphazardly on himself and the old driver on his back.

Professor Chen also endured the discomfort and got himself covered in filth.

A ghost bride is a spirit and has no living aura, so she is not needed.

The instant they finished their disguise.

The huge, hunchbacked pharmacist had already rushed to within ten meters of them.

He suddenly stopped, and a look of confusion crossed his eyeless face.

He lifted his nose and sniffed hard again.

The alluring "scent of life" in the air had vanished.

Instead, he was greeted by a smell of rotting herbs that he found all too familiar.

He tilted his head and hesitated in place for a few seconds.

They seemed to be wondering why the "top-grade medicine" they had just smelled had suddenly disappeared.

Everyone held their breath.

Especially Brother Long, he felt that the pharmacist's "gaze" swept over him several times.

at last.

After his search proved fruitless, the hunchbacked pharmacist seemed to lose patience.

He let out a low growl of resentment, picked up his medicine basket again, and with heavy steps, turned and walked back into the dark depths of the cave.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if they had just escaped from the brink of death.

[Awesome! Professor Chen's "fighting poison with poison" approach is brilliant!]

I almost threw up just watching this on screen; these streamers are real men!

Wait a minute, did you guys notice? That pharmacist seemed to be staring at the experienced driver the whole time?
