I will burn books and slay gods.

"Get out of there quickly!"

A rough voice shouted loudly towards Chen Ye.

After hearing the sound, Chen Ye looked in the direction from which it came.

A middle-aged man dressed as a hunter, holding a bow and arrows in his hand, with fletching on his back.

The wave he sent in this direction, a warning that made Chen Ye realize that this place was dangerous.

"Wang Xiaoming, get out of here!" Chen Ye shouted.

The three exchanged a glance and then ran together toward the middle-aged man.

The movements were fluid and seamless, without the slightest slackening.

Behind them were miners wielding pickaxes.

This forced them to quicken their pace and escape from there as soon as possible.

Soon, Chen Ye and his two companions successfully reunited with the middle-aged man, and under his guidance, they left the place safely.

The three were taken to a village by the hunter's elder brother.

This is the village hidden in the stone forest that Chen Ye saw from the cliff.

Upon arriving at the village entrance, the hunter stopped in his tracks.

"Who are you?" the hunter asked. "What are you doing here? What's your purpose?"

The hunter's tone carried a hint of anger and doubt.

Chen Ye did not hide anything, but told the hunter brother about the origins of the three of them.

The hunter's expression changed instantly, shifting from suspicion to joy, happiness, and excitement.

"You've finally come," said the hunter. "I asked for your help a month ago. I never expected you would actually come!"

"A month?" Chen Ye asked. "Brother Hunter, do you mean you already sent a request to the 'White Tower'?"

The hunter nodded.

"Yes. But you haven't given any reply yet," the hunter explained.

After listening to the hunter's words, Chen Ye glanced at the two people behind him, his eyes already showing a hint of anger.

The same was true for the two people behind him.

The three then realized that the "White Tower" had known about the incident all along, but had not taken any action.

Chen Ye turned to look at the hunter and assured him that he would help everyone.

When the hunter heard that Chen Ye was willing to help, he was so happy that he almost knelt down.

Chen Ye, noticing this, quickly helped him up.

"Brother Hunter, can you tell me what happened just now?" Chen Ye asked. "Those miners?"

The hunter replied, "Sir, those are all original villagers from the village. We don't know what happened to make them like this."

Chen Ye suddenly realized the situation was serious. "How many villagers like this have appeared now?"

"Sir, those you see in the mines are all of them," the hunter said. "To prevent them from harming other villagers, we had no choice but to settle them in the mines."

Lin Su, standing behind them, spoke up at this moment, "We must treat the symptoms directly, otherwise there's no way to find out the existence of the disease."

Chen Ye nodded, "That's true."

The hunter behind him listened attentively to the conversation between the two men in front of him. "Sir, I can find some villagers and bring back some of the villagers who have been settled in the mine."

Chen Ye asked, "Is it okay? Won't it affect other people?"

The hunter shook his head. "It's alright. Those miners were originally villagers. Finding a way to treat them will be a great help to their grieving families."

After finalizing the plan with the hunter, he immediately called out at the village entrance, "Everyone, 'White Tower' has sent someone to provide assistance. Come and greet them!"

Upon hearing the hunter's actions, Chen Ye couldn't stop them and shouted them all out.

Soon, the sound of running footsteps came from the village, as villagers appeared at the village entrance.

There were also some older people with rough hands, who held Chen Ye's hand tightly.

"Thank you. We've been waiting for you for so long," the old man said, his voice trembling.

Chen Ye grasped the old man's hands and assured the other villagers that he would do his best to treat them.

Upon hearing Chen Ye's assurance, some villagers could not hide their emotions and burst into tears.

Chen Ye walked up to each of them one by one, comforting them with words of reassurance.

Before long, the hunter told some of the strong and healthy middle-aged men about the plan.

They left the village and came to the edge of the mine, watching the miners who were once their own relatives.

"Everyone, listen to my command!" Chen Ye shouted.

"three"

"two"

"one"

"superior!"

At Chen Ye's command, the villagers rushed toward the miners in unison, some carrying ropes and others carrying cloth bags.

The group worked together to subdue and bind the crazed miners one by one.

But Chen Ye discovered that after being tied up, these miners became quiet and did not resist at all.

Lin Su also noticed this situation.

Lin Su then walked up to a miner and checked on his condition.

After conducting a series of examinations on the miners, Lin Su was surprised to find that these miners...

More or less, they all retain some conceptual elements.

After Lin Su said those words, Chen Ye realized that the incident was not as simple as he had imagined.

Subsequently, Lin Su's inspection was conducted to determine what type of conceptual erosion it was.

Because of Lin Su's Nirvana Fire, when she came from Morning Star, she told the instructor of the compass about her affinity and gained another ability.

Whether by coincidence or fate, Lin Su's ability is: "Nirvana - Erosion Fire".

They can enter the bodies of ordinary people in the Night Watchman Fire to seek out or harm concepts.

The primary scope of its use still depends on the Night Watchman's own control.

Lin Su stretched out her palm, facing upwards, and a ball of dark red flame condensed in her hand.

He then slammed the ball of flame into the chest of the miner in front of him with a palm strike.

Those who were gathered around couldn't help but show expressions of worry when they saw the ball of flame again.

But no one tried to stop them, because everyone believed that the person in front of them could save them.

They searched carefully inside the miner's body as the flames burned.

Suddenly, Lin Su froze, and Chen Ye noticed the change in her expression. "So, did you find it?"

Lin Su looked at Chen Ye and nodded, saying, "Found it. But..."

Chen Ye sensed something was wrong. "What's wrong?"

"This is a conceptual erosion I've never seen before; it's like a worm coiled around the miner's heart."

"Insects?" Chen Ye asked, puzzled.

Lin Su then extinguished the flames and stood up.

Chen Ye realized that Lin Su had nothing to say about this.

Chen Ye then walked up to the hunter and said, "Hunter, could you please ask the villagers to leave? We need to discuss the reason for this problem."

The hunter nodded, "Okay."

Subsequently, under the hunter's arrangement, all the villagers returned to the village, while the miners were taken away.

Seeing that all the villagers had left, Chen Ye walked up to Lin Su and asked, "What exactly happened?"

"I don't know," Lin Su explained. "This kind of conceptual erosion is something I've never seen before! It's like a centipede, coiling around the miners' hearts, but without making any response. It's as if it's sucking away at the miners' life force, leaving them numb."

After listening to Lin Su's explanation, Chen Ye also fell into deep thought.

At this moment, the hunter, having seen the villagers off, returned and approached the three men, asking, "Can it be cured?"

Instead of directly answering the hunter's question, Chen Ye asked his own, "Hunter, how did this happen? It couldn't have just appeared out of nowhere!"

When Chen Ye saw the hunter, his eyes began to dart away, as if he had something to hide, and he remained silent for a long time.

Chen Ye patted the hunter on the shoulder, "If you have anything on your mind, feel free to speak."

The hunter looked at Chen Ye's determined eyes.

He then stopped hiding anything and told Chen Ye the reason behind it.

After hearing the hunter's explanation, even Chen Ye found it hard to believe whether what the hunter said was true.

This is unbelievable! "How could this happen?"

An idea exploded in Chen Ye's mind, leading him to have an unrealistic idea.

Then Chen Ye asked the hunter to return to the village chief first, as Chen Ye needed to confirm something.

Although the hunter was puzzled, he completely believed Chen Ye's words and turned back to the village.

Lin Su understood what Chen Ye wanted to do, but Wang Xiaoming beside her was full of questions.

Then, led by Chen Ye, the three of them arrived at the familiar mine. The moment Chen Ye saw the mine, he saw the bottomless pit in the middle of it.

Perhaps to others, this deep pit would not arouse any suspicion.

However, after listening to the hunter's explanation, Chen Ye no longer doubted the deep pit.

Standing on the edge of the deep pit, a cold wind blew up from below.

Just then, Chen Ye seemed to smell a strange odor.

The smell was familiar. Chen Ye suddenly realized that this smell was the "Mist of Foolishness".

The other two immediately tensed up upon hearing the name.

"Unbelievable, I never thought such a thing existed here." Chen Ye's face was full of excitement.

This brought Chen Ye's desire to go down to its peak!

After exchanging a glance with Lin Su and Wang Xiaoming, Chen Ye did so in the blink of an eye, before the two could react.

Chen Ye then leaped into the deep pit of the mine, disappearing from their sight.

When the two of them reached the edge of the deep pit, they were utterly shocked by Chen Ye's actions.

"So fierce, it just went down like that." Wang Xiaoming's face was full of disbelief.

Lin Su was the same at first.

But after a while, I stopped worrying.

"Let's go!" Lin Su said, "Let's go down too."

"ah?!"
