Capítulo 271: Chapter 20 Zou Yu

Lu Qingshan pointed to the black flowers planted in the wooden building. "Is it because of those things?"

Sang Ku nodded, "Yes, this flower is called the Poisonous Spirit Flower and emits a scent most detested by demon beasts.

One only needs to pluck them and drop them into the well water that everyone drinks daily, and the scent will exude from our bodies, making the demon beasts lose interest in us."

"However, there are two drawbacks with this flower, one being that it's poisonous.

The Poisonous Spirit Flower, true to its name, contains poison.

Although the toxin isn't strong, to avoid attacks from demon beasts, we've been drinking well water infused with the Poisonous Spirit Flower for a long time, and the toxins have been accumulating in our bodies, making them difficult to expel.

Therefore, our lifespan is much shorter than that of most people."

Lu Qingshan suddenly realized why the skeleton he had discovered was covered in green spots.
