Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

After a while, he put his hands behind his back, turned to the direction Shen Ye and his group had left in, and said calmly, "I hope you can keep your word."

“I, the Witch King, have always kept my word. However, Your Highness, please remember what you promised me.”

"That's... natural."

……

"Brother Shen, where are we going now?"

On the way, Lu Linxuan pushed past Shi Yao, took Shen Ye's arm, and asked.

Shen Ye said, "Go find someone to remove the twin miasma from Li Maozhen's body."

"What about my dad?" Chi Meng asked dejectedly from the other side of Shen Ye. "Aren't we going to find my dad first?"

“I would like to, but since the Witch King already knew we were coming, he must have hidden your father somewhere that none of us can find him.” Shen Ye sighed. “Now the Witch King has cast the Twin Poison on my brother-in-law, and I can’t do anything about him. Even if we wanted to capture him and force him to tell us where your father is, it would be difficult. So we can only find someone who can remove the witchcraft from Li Maozhen before we can deal with the Witch King and rescue your father.”

“But that poisonous turtle said that no one but him could break the witchcraft on Li Maozhen,” Chi Meng said with a bitter face.

"That's hard to say." Shen Ye certainly knew who could solve it.

However, just as he was pondering whether to reveal the secret of the Twelve Caves in a subtle way, Hou Qing suddenly spoke up: "I know a place where the people should be able to solve it."

Immediately, everyone's eyes were focused on him.

"Disciple, do you know?" Chi Meng asked, her face full of doubt.

Hou Qing nodded: "Actually, I've been to Miao territory before. I know that inside the Ten Thousand Poison Caves of Miao territory, there is a place called Twelve Caves. There are many experts there who are proficient in all kinds of Gu and witchcraft. Perhaps someone there can cure them."

"The Twelve Caves?"

Upon hearing this, Chi Meng showed a curious expression. Although she was the Holy Maiden of Miao Jiang, she did not know that there was such a place in Miao Jiang. Otherwise, she would not have left the Ten Thousand Poison Cave to seek help from the Central Plains.

"Then do you know how to get there?" Chi Meng continued to ask.

Hou Qing nodded: "I know, but we have to go through a place called Dead Creek Forest."

Chi Meng was taken aback, and murmured, "That... forbidden area..."

……

Dead Creek Forest is a forbidden area within the Ten Thousand Poisons Cave, extremely dangerous. People usually enter alive but never leave alive. It is regarded by the people of the Ten Thousand Poisons Cave as a place they will never set foot in. Even powerful insect masters dare not enter alone and can only watch from afar.

But it was precisely because of this that the Twelve Caves were completely hidden away. As a result, most people in the Ten Thousand Poisons Cave did not know that there was a place called the Twelve Caves in Miao territory.

Although Shen Ye and his group had just fought a fierce battle, they didn't have time to rest and set off immediately.

However, Dead Creek Forest was quite far from the Miao Village of Ten Thousand Poisons. By the time Shen Ye and his group arrived at the edge of Dead Creek Forest, dusk had already fallen.

"Is it necessary to cross Dead Creek Forest to reach the Twelve Caves?"

Lu Linxuan wasn't a coward, but seeing several venomous snakes coiled on a large tree not far ahead still made his scalp tingle.

Most women are naturally afraid of this.

Except for Chi Meng.

She stepped forward and patted Lu Linxuan on the shoulder: "Oh, Sister Lu, don't be afraid, I'm here. Don't worry about any poisonous snakes or insects."

After saying that, she walked straight over, raised the jade flute in her hand, and began to play softly.

The poisonous snakes and insects on the trees immediately scattered.

Even with Chi Meng leading the way and driving away the insects, Lu Linxuan and the others still stayed close to Shen Ye, as if only in this way could they muster the courage to go further in.

Night had fallen, and because the forest was so dense that even moonlight could not penetrate in many places, the group had to light torches and proceed in the dark.

However, the torchlight was clearly insufficient in the dim forest, so the group did not move very fast. Moreover, they had not eaten dinner before entering the Dead Creek Forest. Chi Meng and her sister, who had eaten a lot but got hungry quickly, soon could no longer walk.

Seeing the two women clutching their stomachs and looking listless, Shen Ye had no choice but to stop and let everyone rest on the spot.

Soon, the campfire was lit.

Xuan Jingtian also took out some flatbread from his bag and distributed it to everyone.

After receiving the flatbread, Shen Ye used a twig to hold it up and roasted it over the fire. This kind of flatbread was very substantial and thick, but the downside was that it would become as hard as a rock when it cooled down. He didn't want to put his stomach through that, so he planned to roast it until it was softer before eating it.

The others did the same, using branches to skewer the flatbreads and roast them over the fire. But Chi Meng and her sister, who had good appetites and teeth, ate them directly and quickly finished their portions. Then they looked longingly at Xuan Jingtian, hoping she would bring out some more.

"That's all." Xuan Jingtian wasn't Doraemon; she only carried one day's worth of food with her. She patted the bundle lying to the side, which was empty.

"Eat mine."

Seeing the disappointed looks on Chi Meng and her sister's faces, Shen Ye smiled and tore the freshly baked flatbread in his hand in half, giving each of them half a piece.

"And what about you?" Neither Chi Meng nor her older sister answered.

"I have more here." Shen Ye shook his head slightly, stuffed the pancakes into their hands, then reached into his pocket and pulled out an oil paper package full of braised beef.

He bought this in the Miao village outside the Ten Thousand Poisons Cave. He originally intended to use it as a late-night snack with drinks, but he forgot about it. Now he's taking it out to share with everyone.

To be honest, he did have plenty of food in his system space, but it was mostly canned and self-heating food, which was rather inconvenient to take out. Moreover, compared to the braised beef wrapped in oil paper, taking out a bunch of metal lumps and plastic self-heating food from his pocket was obviously too horrifying for Lu Linxuan and the others.

Of course, the main reason is that we haven't run out of food to the point of not being able to survive yet. If we really hadn't eaten for several days, he wouldn't have continued to hide it.

……

(Don't worry too much about minor bugs and details; sometimes I even forget what I've written, it's heartbreaking.)

(Also, Chi Meng's mother is about to make an appearance.)

……

Next, Shen Ye opened the oil paper package and placed it on the ground. At the same time, he picked up a piece of braised beef. However, just as he was about to put it in his mouth, he suddenly stopped and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Because he sensed a pair of harmless eyes watching them from the shadows.

Of course, that's not quite right either; it should be said that their eyes were fixed on the food in their hands.

After all, the person secretly watching them hadn't had a decent meal in over a decade.

"She's a woman with a tragic fate!"

Shen Ye knew, of course, who was secretly watching them. He sighed inwardly, then casually tossed the braised beef into his mouth and said loudly with feigned regret, "This beef is really delicious. It's a pity there's no wine. Otherwise, eating it with wine would be so enjoyable."

As he finished speaking, he vaguely heard a sound of someone swallowing.

So he raised his voice even louder.

"Everyone, eat quickly, don't leave any leftovers. Here, Meng'er, this biggest and fattest piece is for you."

"Thank you, big brother." Chi Meng took the large piece of beef with both hands and gave Shen Ye a sweet smile.

However, Shen Ye then said something to her that left her completely baffled.

"Hold it tighter later."

Although Chi Meng didn't understand the meaning of those words, she still subconsciously gripped the beef in her hand tighter.

However, just as Chi Meng was about to bring the piece of beef to her mouth, the person who had been staring at her ever since Shen Ye picked out the piece of beef and handed it to her finally couldn't hold back any longer and rushed out from the shadows, pouncing straight at her.

That person was incredibly fast, leaving almost a blur behind her. Given that her strength had reached the Great Celestial Realm, apart from Shen Ye, who had already sensed her, none of the others could react in time.

However, Shen Ye did not make any move, but just watched quietly.

At this moment, it wasn't until that person had closed to within ten steps of them that Hou Qing and Shi Yao, both at the Great Heavenly Rank, reacted. However, by the time they tried to stop him, it was too late.

Ten steps is a distance that even a Lesser Celestial Realm expert can cover in the blink of an eye, let alone a master above the Greater Celestial Realm.

So, just as they stood up, the man had already stepped past Chi Meng and easily taken the beef from her hand.

Chi Meng, who was about to enjoy a delicious meal, froze for a moment. She stared blankly at her empty hands, with only one thought in her mind.

"Someone stole my meat."

Only then did she understand the meaning behind Shen Ye's words.

However, she didn't have time to question Shen Ye about why he knew someone would steal the meat but didn't tell her. She immediately got up to chase after them.

But at this moment, Shen Ye, who had been quietly watching this scene, finally moved. He stood up, raised his hand and grabbed at the air beside him. A vine appeared like a snake and flew into his hand. As he grasped the vine, he gently shook it in the direction the person had flown by. The vine made a soft snapping sound and then turned into a line, shooting straight towards the person.

All of this seemed to have taken a long time, but in reality it was just a matter of a breath. By the time everyone had fully realized what was happening, the vine in Shen Ye's hand had already wrapped around that person's ankle.

The vine, imbued with true energy, was like a steel cable. The man couldn't break free no matter how hard he tried. With a gentle pull from Shen Ye, the man fell from mid-air, letting out a muffled cry of pain.

However, the man immediately got up and turned around to untangle the vines wrapped around his ankle. In the crowd, they could vaguely see that the man also took a bite of the beef in his hand.

"Don't let him get away."

Chi Meng only cared about the piece of beef and shouted angrily.

"Don't worry, she can't run away."

Shen Ye smiled slightly, then his figure blurred and he appeared in front of the person, startling the person who hadn't yet untied the vines. But she immediately reacted, gave up on untying the vines, stuffed the large bite of beef in her hand into her mouth, raised her head, chewed vigorously, and looked at Shen Ye.

Shen Ye's lips twitched, somewhat amused and exasperated by her action. He thought to himself, "No wonder she's Chi Meng's mother; her greedy and possessive nature is exactly the same."

The person before me is none other than the Holy Maiden of the Twelve Caves, Chi Meng's mother, Xian Shen.

This is also why Shen Ye didn't stop her in the first place; it's only natural for a mother to eat a piece of her daughter's flesh.

"My flesh!"
