Chapter 209: Chapter 84: The Right Heart Appears for the Third Time
For example, Sisi only eats meat and not vegetables.
She cannot digest vegetables, so whatever she eats comes right back out.
Also, she sleeps with her eyes open, so on the way here, she had already slept plenty, but Ree Shil and the others didn’t notice at all.
Of course, he didn’t know which insect habitually sleeps while walking.
Anyway, since someone else said it, he’ll just believe it for now.
It didn’t take long for Mossy Mushroom and Andrew Hill to fall into a deep sleep.
However, Ree Shil wasn’t able to sleep that well.
One reason was that he wasn’t that tired and was still quite energetic.
Another reason was that these two were competing in snoring, which was quite noisy.
At this time, he sat with Sisi beside the bonfire, watching the flames dance and the sparks jump.
"Ah, I really miss the days when we lived in harmony with Mother Nature. Since the outbreak of the corruption disease, those cute little animals aren’t so cute anymore. It was such fun when I used to ride a tiger chasing after a bear."
After a long silence, Sisi suddenly spoke out.
"...Are you sure those were cute animals?"
Ree Shil’s expression was somewhat speechless, and then he continued, "By the way, can you tell me more about the corruption disease here?"
Now that their identity is that of adventurers drifting along the Great River, it is understandable that they do not know the situation.
"Sure, no problem."
"In fact, the first infected patient appeared half a year ago."
"No, to be precise, it wasn’t a person, or even an animal."
"It was... a tree."
Sisi paused here.
"Didn’t you say before that plants can’t get the corruption disease?"
Ree Shil timely raised his doubt.
"Yes, only that tree is an exception."
"And I heard that it was an unknown tree that no one had ever seen before."
Sisi said.
"So, is it the source of the disease?"
Ree Shil felt like this was a clue.
"You could say that, or you could say otherwise."
"Because the second case appeared in a small town resident thousands of miles away."
"After the incident, the town’s guard team specifically investigated this resident’s movements. He hadn’t left the 10-kilometer range of the small town for at least a year."
Sisi said so.
"Unable to find the source, unclear about the principle of infection, and with the disease constantly emerging, it’s really hard to start..."
Ree Shil felt that he still couldn’t grasp the main point.
Maybe he should listen to Andrew Hill’s advice and focus more on treating the disease than finding the source.
"Huh? Somebody seems to be approaching."
Just then, Sisi suddenly turned her head to one side.
Indeed, as an insect spirit, her hearing was quite sharp. It took quite a while before Ree Shil heard plant rustling noises coming from that direction.
"Wow! There’s light here!"
Before long, a white figure emerged from the bushes.
He initially thought it was a corrupted monster, but when he saw the other party’s appearance clearly, Ree Shil breathed a sigh of relief, and was not so vigilant anymore.
In front of them, this guy looked like a gnome, about the same height as Mossy Mushroom.
His whole body was almost snow-white, with a pair of dark insect compound eyes.
There was a ring of white fur around his neck and wrists.
The most obvious characteristic was the pair of moth-like wings and a large insect abdomen connected to his lower back.
He should be a mothfolk spirit.
Fire Rush Moth.
The first four words that came to Ree Shil’s mind were these.
"There are people here! Hello, everyone!"
As expected, the moth spirit was standing by the fire, talking and dancing excitedly, seeming to be quite thrilled.
However, when he was speaking, he didn’t look at them, but stared at the fire.
"Hello, which small town are you from?"
But as Sisi asked, she secretly nudged Ree Shil with her hand.
As far as she knew, there was no other populated area in this direction from Tree Disk Town.
So this guy’s identity, with a greater probability, was a wander thief.
Wander Thieves are those who wander in the wilderness, living outdoors.
They have no fixed abode, and, to avoid being hunted down, they usually commit crimes wherever they go.
Before the emergence of the corruption disease, these kinds of guys were the biggest threat in the wilderness.
Although the guy in front of them seemed harmless, who knows?
Ree Shil, who was tipped off, realized that there might be a problem, so he became vigilant again.
He secretly tried to wake Andrew Hill, who was propping up his body behind him.
However, it was impossible to wake him so easily through the doll costume.
So, he had to grope around based on his memory and put his finger into the hole of the doll costume.
If he remembered correctly, that should be the nostril of the doll costume.

Before Ree Shil even felt what he had poked, Andrew Hill suddenly sat up with a start on the bed made of leaves: "?!"
"You’re asking where I’m from?"
At this moment, the Mothman finally looked at Sisi.
Then he swiftly turned to Ree Shil with a strange smile, "I come from the right side."
The answer was incomprehensible to Sisi, but it made Ree Shil’s pupils contract.
Could it really be such a coincidence?
A card player?
Right Heart Sect?
After encountering other card players last time, Ree Shil studied the rules carefully.
When other card players meet, they can sometimes easily recognize each other’s identity.
The method is simple, to use the naked eye to see.
The hypnotic effect of the Instance Rule only works on natives, not between card players.
In other words, if this Mothman is a card player, then in his eyes, Ree Shil is a human, not an insect spirit.
As for why he couldn’t see the flaw while looking at the other party.
Is it possible... that this guy’s original form is actually a Mothman? ƒreewebɳovel.com
With that thought, Ree Shil immediately stood up.
"Come out, minions!"
At this moment, the Mothman waved his arm and shouted, and two figures suddenly jumped down from the trees.
These guys also looked like Mothmen.
But they were different Mothmen, with ordinary human height and moth heads.
Bang!
Immediately afterward, the gnome Mothman took out an unknown object and smashed it onto the ground.
A burst of white fog exploded, choking Ree Shil and Sisi, who coughed continuously.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough!"
"Cough, cough, cough... Ah!"
