Qin Renhuang just became an immortal, and you told me this is the prehistoric time

Xiaotian slowly reached out his hand, and the moment his fingers touched the bottle, it shattered without warning. A thick, pungent black mist instantly filled the entire cave; it was an extremely potent corrosive poison.

"Everyone, get out of here immediately!"

Seeing that something was wrong, Xiaotian shouted.

All the soldiers immediately withdrew.

But Xiaotian only felt a blur before his eyes, and before he could react, a sharp pain came from his left arm.

He looked down and saw that his left hand had been rapidly corroded by the poison. The flesh was rotting at a visible speed, and in the blink of an eye, the white bones were exposed. The ghastly white color looked particularly gruesome against the backdrop of the black mist, and the pungent smell of burning mixed with the stench of decay filled the air.

"Captain!" his teammates cried out in terror, their voices filled with despair and helplessness. Their eyes were wide open, staring intently at Xiaotian's poison-corroded arm, their feet seemingly nailed to the ground, at a loss for what to do.

Large beads of sweat rolled down Xiaotian's forehead. His jaw was clenched, the muscles in his cheeks bulged, and the veins in his neck stood out like earthworms.

A resolute and ruthless glint flashed in his eyes. He knew clearly that if he did not take immediate action, the poison would spread throughout his body in an instant, and he would lose his life.

He looked around, his eager gaze finally landing on a sharp stone.

He staggered forward, bent down to pick up a stone, infused it with powerful magic, and then raised his right arm high. His right hand trembled slightly from the exertion, and the veins on his arm bulged like intertwined tree roots. He closed his eyes tightly and slashed down hard at his left elbow.

With a heart-wrenching scream, the severed arm fell to the ground, and blood gushed out like a fountain, splattering onto the surrounding ground and forming a glaring pool of blood.

His teammates then snapped out of their daze and rushed forward, frantically bandaging him with strips of cloth to stop the bleeding. Their faces were ashen.

Just as everyone was in a panic, Xin Sheng arrived like a ghost.

With agile movements, he scooped Xiaotian up on his back in a few leaps, shouting loudly, "Go quickly!"

As if waking from a dream, everyone followed Xin Sheng and ran wildly.

Their footsteps were hurried and chaotic, kicking up a cloud of dust on the wilderness as they rushed toward the palace, leaving behind a trail of messy footprints and a cave filled with the aura of death.

Inside the palace, Ying Xuan was extremely anxious upon hearing that Xiao Tian was injured and rushed over.

When he saw that Xiaotian's severed arm was bleeding profusely and the bleeding couldn't be stopped, he realized that although he had cut off most of the poisoned parts during the crisis, a small amount of poison still remained inside.

Although the remaining toxins posed no threat to his body, the pain still ravaged his entire body.

His expression was solemn, and he held tightly in his hand a pill that was entirely green and radiated a warm luster. The pill faintly shimmered with a mysterious halo under the light, as if it contained endless vitality.

"Xiaotian, quickly take this pill. It's a bone-healing and muscle-regenerating pill; it might save you." Ying Xuan said, then held the pill to Xiaotian's lips.

Xiaotian weakly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with pain and exhaustion, but when he saw the pill, a glimmer of hope instantly ignited in his eyes.

He opened his mouth slightly, and Ying Xuan gently placed the pill into it.

The pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth, and a cool, sweet sensation spread throughout his body, like clear mountain spring water flowing into his parched heart, clearing Xiaotian's chaotic consciousness. Immediately afterwards, a warm current rose slowly from his stomach, like the warm spring sun, gradually spreading throughout his body.

Wherever this warm current reaches, it feels as if countless gentle hands are softly moving through the body, repairing damaged meridians and muscles.

He could clearly feel a tingling, itchy sensation at the site of his severed arm, as if countless granulation tissues were growing and wriggling wildly, seemingly eager to rebuild the mutilated limb.

The bones are also slowly extending and reshaping, making a slight "clicking" sound, each sound like a cry of life's tenacious struggle.

Time passed second by second, and Xiaotian's complexion gradually regained its rosy hue. The flesh and blood at the severed arm had been vaguely connected, and new skin was growing like bamboo shoots breaking through the soil, fresh and full of vitality.

The bones gradually returned to their original shape with a series of "crackling" sounds, becoming hard and strong.

He tried to move his newly grown arm. At first, it was a little stiff, and his fingers trembled slightly uncontrollably. But as the blood flowed more smoothly, his joints gradually became more flexible, and his fingers were able to bend and stretch freely.

"Success!" Xin Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, a smile of satisfaction spreading across his face.

Unexpectedly, they fell into someone else's trap this time. Damn it, they never expected that the other party would use so many traps to lure them in, almost causing them all to perish in the cave.

This made Xin Sheng a little anxious, as it seemed that this opponent was going to be difficult to deal with.

Xiaotian stood up, vigorously waving his arm a few times, feeling the limb he had regained. His eyes were filled with determination and gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will remember this great kindness! Once I recover my strength, I will definitely find the mastermind behind this and make them pay a heavy price!"

Ying Xuan then instructed the monster investigation team led by Xiao Tian to temporarily withdraw and rest, and to resume their investigation after the two had recuperated for a few days.

While Ying Xuan arranged for Xiaotian's monster squad to rest, the hidden mastermind, a disciple of the Ancient Buddha of Burning Lamp, quietly contacted his master.

In a dimly lit room in the military camp, the disciple quietly set up a barrier, then took out the token for communicating with Dipankara Buddha and placed it on the ground.

After he channeled his magic power, the figure of Dipankara Buddha suddenly appeared before him.

At this moment, the disciple's voice contained a hint of self-satisfaction: "Master, your disciple has been strategizing in the Immortal Qin army camp. Now, chaos is gradually emerging in the army, and morale is about to collapse. Your disciple has won the first battle, but now the Immortal Qin army has begun to investigate my affairs and has sent out a monster squad. I made a slight mistake and injured one of them. Currently, this squad is in a state of rest and reorganization."

The voice of the Ancient Buddha of the Burning Lamp was like a booming bell, carrying a hint of approval: "Excellent, disciple, you have done well. Your master has not misjudged you. From this day forward, I bestow upon you the Dharma name Kunming. You shall remain hidden in the military camp and do not act rashly or reveal your whereabouts. Remember this well. It is not too late to continue your actions after the storm has passed."

"Thank you, Master. I understand."

Kunming was secretly delighted. After the Dipankara Buddha left, he picked up the token and clipped it to his waist. He was especially happy.

At the same time, he was also very proud. It seemed that the Immortal Qin, which could destroy the Three Realms, was not so great after all. He had only made a slight mistake, but the entire Immortal Qin was put on the defensive and could not find his fault after all this time.

This gave Kunming a surge of confidence, but he was also very shrewd, knowing that if you walk by the river long enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet eventually.

At this stage, all we can do is obey our master's orders, refrain from any outrageous actions, and return to our duties as soldiers, behaving like normal soldiers. (End of Chapter)
