I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong

Tian Lin listened to Rain Real person's plan and started to feel tempted.

"According to your explanation, these tree demons have absorbed the Spiritual Energy from the underground veins to grow so tall;

If this speculation is confirmed, it proves that the roots of these tree demons must be very close to the stone layer of the spirit mine, perhaps even penetrating it.

So as long as we dig out the roots of this tree demon, we can follow the tunnel bored by the roots to reach the spirit mine."

According to Rain Real person's intention, in fact, these tree demons all over the mountain have already dug holes for them in advance.

And what they have to do now is to use the holes dug by the tree demons to approach and continue digging into the spirit mine below.

"This method is feasible, but it can't be done alone or with just one or two people. Here's what you can do, go back up the mountain and tell Lang Guan your speculation and ideas."

Rain Real person got up, completely forgetting the dangers of the night, and really plunged into the forest up the mountain.

Before long, Tian Lin saw Lang Guan and the second boss bringing Rain Real person down from the mountain.

Lang Guan approached and asked Tian Lin: "Down the mountain is there a spirit mine, is this reliable?"

Tian Lin shook his head: "This is still just speculation, it's hard to say whether it's reliable or not."

He didn't want to give a definite answer, but Rain Real person, who usually avoids responsibility, suddenly showed great determination and said:

"There must be a spirit mine below; if there isn't, how did these tree demons grow?"

The second boss frowned and said to Rain Real person:

"Even according to your plan, it would take us at least a month to dig down below. If after a month there's no spirit mine, we've wasted a month traveling here and will face the prospect of starving to death."

Rain Real person obstinately said: "What's the point of enduring hunger like this? If the future is destined to be this way, there's nothing to fear in death."

The second boss fell silent, and Lang Guan decisively said: "Old Seven's speculation is highly likely; as long as there's this possibility, it's worth risking everything."

He turned to Rain Real person and said: "You think carefully about the strategy, I'll go find Old Four and Old Three."

The third and fourth bosses were already nearby, so they joined quickly.

They agreed with Lang Guan's idea, thinking that Rain Real person's speculation made sense.

To strengthen everyone's belief, Lang Guan added: "Think carefully, this place is too far from Central State; reaching Central State is a big issue.

But if we can dig up the spirit mine, we will have cultivation and spirit stones, making it easier to travel to Central State."

The second boss added: "But just with our few people, even if we spend a month digging the mine, refining the ore into spirit stones won't be easy."

"Are there not over twenty strong youths over there on the hillside?"

At this moment, Rain Real person suddenly interjected.

Everyone looked at the old man, whose eyes appeared to glow green: "These twenty or so strong youths, working day and night, can dig through the vein in no time. Then, I'll organize them to refine the ore into spirit stones; what is there to fear?"

"Those twenty or so people are unfamiliar to us; is cooperation even possible?"

"A snake can't survive without a head! We have no foundation of trust with them, even if trust develops, who will lead?

I think that with the dark night and strong winds tonight, it's a perfect time for murder. As long as we take out a few cultivators among those twenty people, it'll be manageable."

The second boss asked Rain Real person again: "As of now, we aren't sure how many cultivators there are among them, how can we dare act rashly? Even if there are only four or five cultivators, twenty youths are numerous and difficult to deal with."

"More people mean more consumption of food and drink. I see that judging by the weather, there's definitely no rain in the short term. Without rain, they'll have to search for water—

Since this place is the Demon Forest, there are naturally poison trees. Just poison the water they find, and even if they have many people, they can't withstand poisoned water."

Tian Lin silently glanced at Rain Real person, thinking if it weren't for taking an oath before Houtu, this guy might have poisoned Lang Guan and the others long ago.

Before taking the oath, he and the old man were the ones carrying the rations, making tampering far too easy.

"There isn't a stream here, how can we poison?"

"No stream, then create a stream. Isn't the third boss a Water Spirit Root? As long as the third boss expends True Qi to create a pool of water, I doubt they can resist thirst and not drink."

The third boss frowned upon hearing this, saying: "True Qi is incredibly precious, and to create a pool of water, I'd be afraid I'd expend all my True Qi."

"Once we dig up spirit stones, will we still lack True Qi?"

Rain Real person's determination was so strong that it was a bit hard to adjust to.

But although Rain Real person's plan wasn't entirely foolproof, it certainly wasn't impractical.

The group finally decided to observe the situation of the people on the hilltop.

After two days passed as Rain Real person said, there was indeed no rain.

After another two or three days, the Hua Hua Lang team was really out searching for water sources.

On the following afternoon, Tian Lin and the others were all guarding the pool just created by the third boss.

"They're coming!"

After guarding by the pool for most of the day, just as the group was growing impatient, the fourth boss suddenly spoke up.

The group sat upright, hiding behind a big rock, watching the two people approaching from afar.

"Indeed, I sensed water vapor, there's really water here."

A young man sprinted to the pool and was about to scoop up some water to drink.

"Little Tiger, this pool is suspiciously rare, it might be poisoned."

A burly man behind the young man stopped him.

The young man said: "There are nobody here, who would poison it?"

Although skeptical, the young man listened and didn't drink the water.

"Don't forget this is the Demon Forest; things here can't be good, better to be cautious. Let's take the water back; if some mortals drink it and there's no issue, then we drink."

After discussing, both filled a jug of water and left.

"Thank goodness it wasn't poisoned!"

Once those two left, the third boss couldn't help but admire Rain Real person with a glance.

Rain Real person's expression remained unchanged, looking at the fourth boss saying: "Now we can poison it."

The fourth boss, upon hearing this, slipped out from behind the big stone and dumped a bag of poison into the pool.

At this moment, the pool was now filled with Medicine Powder that could cause people to fall into a coma. The Medicine Powder was scraped off Poisonous Thornapple plants; mortals who drink it will sleep for a day and night, and even Qi Refiners who drink it won't be able to resist drowsiness.

After stirring the poisonous water in the pool, the fourth boss returned behind the big stone.

Soon, a large group poured over from the hilltop, the very Hua Hua Lang members trapped on the slope.

These Hua Hua Lang eagerly rushed to the pool, scooping water up to drink with abandon.
