Fade didn't say anything, but after Acton had recovered, he asked, "Can you tell me what happened? Why did you fall unconscious on the mountain?"

The other villagers were also full of curiosity and they all looked at him.

Acton touched his head and said, "I don't even understand what happened. I was farming in the mountains as usual in the morning. At noon, it was almost time to rest, so I packed up my things and went down the mountain to have my meal."

"When I was halfway there, my stomach became bloated, so I took one more step forward and went to the side of the slope to relieve myself."

"I felt a chill on my back before I unbuckled my belt, and then I lost my consciousness."

After listening to Acton's story, the villagers couldn't help but feel confused, and they began to talk among themselves.

"It's so strange. Is there really something supernatural there?"

"I think there really are some supernatural things there. The old man in our village said that there were gods and spirit birds in our Spirit Bird Village

before. If we have all these things, it's normal for ghosts and creatures to appear here."

"Is it going to be dangerous if we continue to live here? Why don't we move?"

"Move? Where can we move to?"

The villagers were all talking about it. Fade remained silent in thought before he thought of something. He looked at Acton and said, "Can you take me to the place where you passed out?" "This..." Acton looked embarrassed. Obviously, he didn't dare to go there.

The other villagers also began to persuade him one after another.

"Dr. Chen, that place is not safe. Don't take any risks."

"That's right. Two people from our village have also passed out near that place too. There must be something wrong since they all passed out in that place."

"Dr. Chen, we'd better call the police. It's too dangerous for you to go there by yourself."

Fade explained, "Thank you for your kindness, but I can protect myself."

Seeing his resolute expression, Jamar said, "How about this, Dr. Chen. I'll take you there. I know where it is."

"Okay, thank you, Jamar," Fade nodded.

Jamar led the way without any delay. Fade and Quin followed closely behind him and headed for the scene of the incident.

A little farther away, she asked him in a low voice, "You are so insistent on going there. Is there any problem?"

He nodded and replied, "I did find something wrong. Acton wasn't possessed, nor was he poisoned. He was injured by a martial artist."

"He was injured by a martial artist!" She exclaimed in surprise.

Fade continued explaining, "It was the positive energy of a martial artist that entered Acton's body, and that martial artist's positive energy belongs to the cold nature. Ordinary people would usually not be able to withstand it. Their bodies would freeze and their faces would turn dark. In the end, their breaths would be severed and they would soon die."

"That is to say, there are martial artists in that place. The two villagers who died in Spirit Bird Village were also..." Quin's expression turned grave. He said in a deep voice, "It's very likely to be so."

"I don't care what reason the martial artists have, but I can't sit idly by and watch them kill innocent people."

She also nodded seriously. "We have to get rid of evil for the people. Otherwise, I don't know how many more people will be killed."

Upon hearing this, he held her hand and said softly, "Quin, if there is a conflict later, you have to hide behind me, understand?"

"I'll protect myself," Quin said as she nodded.

After another 20 minutes or so, Jamar stopped and pointed to a copse of lush shrubbery hundreds of meters away and said, "Dr. Chen, President Lin, that's the place. Do you really want to go there?" Fade nodded and said with a smile, "Jamar, you can go back now. We will be alright."

"Dr. Chen, President Lin, take care of yourselves. If there's any danger, shout out and I'll bring some people to help." Although Jamar wanted to stay behind to help them, he was afraid and didn't dare to get close to the spot.

"Thank you, Jamar. You can go back now!" Fade nodded.

He and Quin approached the woods after Jamar left them.

As he approached, Fade immediately found something unusual. Even though this was a dense forest, the trees and flowers here were particularly lush, almost twice as dense as the surrounding forests.

The trees, flowers, and plants here were all exceptionally tall and robust. The both of them drew near, took a deep breath, and they could even feel the aura of the universe's energy.

"Could it be that there are some treasures here?" For a moment, his eyes lit up.

As they got closer, they pushed the dense bushes aside and walked into the forest.

Suddenly, he stopped. His face froze as he pulled Quin back.

"What's wrong?" She looked at him nervously.

He responded in a low voice, "There is a formation here."

"Now, I can be sure that there must be a martial artist here, and he has set up a formation. There must be some kind of treasure here that he's worried about being discovered. That's why he has sealed off this place."

"Then we..." She was a little worried.

Fade squeezed his wife's hand gently and said with a smile, "Don't worry, this formation is very ordinary, and from that I can see that the martial artists inside aren't very powerful. They are only at the late stage of the Black Level at most, and I can slap them to death easily."

Then, he gathered positive energy in his hands and formed a few magic spells quickly in front of his chest. Finally, he tapped on Quin and himself. Then, he took his wife's hand and walked forward. "I've set up a small formation to block the warning effect of the formation. In this case, the martial artists inside won't be able to notice us even though we have breached their formation." The two of them passed through the dense forest and continued to walk deeper into the forest.

About ten minutes later, a small cave appeared in front of them. The aura of surging positive energy was clearly emanating from the cave. They could even hear the voices of people talking. "Senior, I can't hold on any longer. Come and help me!"

"Hold on, I'll be ready soon."

"Seniors, my positive energy is about to be depleted."

Upon hearing the voices, Fade could not help but look at Quin, "There's more than one martial artist."

Even so, he still had no intention of retreating. He continued forward and headed straight into the cave.

The cave was not very spacious. The ground was wet and muddy, but the deeper they went in, the more obvious the fluctuation of the positive energy coming from inside.

"There is a treasure inside!" A thought came to his mind, and he continued to move forward with his wife quietly.

After passing through the cave for about five minutes, he finally saw a natural cavern in front of him.

He stopped at the entrance and asked Quin to hide behind him. He moved forward slightly, stuck his head out, and observed the situation in the cave.
