Vice General Yin felt guilty for a while and immediately went back to help the other soldiers clean up the grain again.

At this moment, a thin man passed by. He looked at the chaotic scene and asked curiously, “What are you guys doing? We set off after resting for a while. Why did you unload all the rations?”

Deputy General Yin turned around and glanced at the person who had come. He casually said, “Oh, it’s General Song. This is the mission the General gave me. We suspect that those things have been chasing us because there’s something in the army that attracts them. We should be able to solve this problem once we find that thing.”

General Song was stunned for a moment, then said as if nothing had happened. “Oh, I see. Then you have to look for it. I’ll help you guys pack up.

That way, it’ll be faster.”

“Thank you, Brother.” Vice General Yin laughed heartily.

General Song shook his head and helped to move the grain onto the carriage.

He pretended as if nothing had happened and said. “Do you have any clues

Vice General Yin shook his head in distress. “Not yet. I thought it would be in the provisions, but I didn’t find anything after searching through it. I’ll go to the luggage of the soldiers to see if there’s anything.”

“Then I’ll go with you. The sooner we find it, the safer we’ll be.” General Song smiled.

Vice General Yin grinned. “No need. I can find it myself. It’s not good to trouble others with the General’s orders.’

“How did the General know that there was something in the team that attracted the poison?” General Song asked curiously. “l didn’t even think of this possibility. I just thought that there were a lot of poisonous creatures here.’

Vice General Yin shook his head and said, ” I don’t know either. Maybe General is just guessing. After all, it’s only been a morning and there are so many poisonous creatures here. Even if there are a lot of them here, it’s too unusual. General, you should be suspicious.”

General Song smiled and said with an unfathomable expression, “1 see.”

Deputy General Zhong walked to Ming Zhiyan’s side and secretly reported, “General, now that General Song is looking for that thing with Old Yin, do you think Old Yin can find it with him around?”

“We can’t find him without him,” Niing Zhiyan said lightly.

“General, what do you mean?” asked Vice General Zhong. “Why can’t we find it? Do you know where he put his things?”

Ming Zhiyan shook his head. “l don’t know. But he definitely won’t keep such important evidence with him. Moreover, he might even temporarily restrain his actions.’

Vice General Zhong was enlightened. “I see. Then how are we going to find it? Moreover, it’s not good for the people I sent to follow him at close range. It’s easy to be discovered.”

Ming Zhiyan shook his head and said, “A fox will always reveal its tail. Just wait and see. Just watch where he goes. You don’t have to watch what he does.” “Yes!” Vice General Zhong replied solemnly.

In the afternoon, the number of poisonous creatures they encountered was indeed much less. Moreover, they basically ran away the moment they encountered them, unlike in the morning, when every one of them rushed forward with fervor.

When they were resting at night, Vice General Yin asked curiously, “It’s really strange. Why are those poisonous creatures afraid of us again in the afternoon? Could it be that that thing is gone?”

“Maybe. Otherwise, they’re afraid of our killing intent and don’t dare to provoke us again.” General Song smiled.

Vice General Yin laughed out loud. “What you said makes sense. Those in the morning are like newborn calves that are not afraid of tigers. After they know our power, they won’t dare to come again..”
