What suddenly occurred to me was that although piranha flowers do not eat people, they can cause hallucinations in people. This is well documented.
Could it be that what I experienced just now was an hallucination caused by the smell of piranha affecting me?
If this is the case, and the smell has disappeared now, does that mean that the illusion is disappearing due to the influence of the blood on the tip of my tongue?
Although a mouthful of blood spurted out from my tongue, I still didn't dare to take it lightly.
The environment I am in is very strange. In such a place, one could lose his life if he is not careful, so I must be cautious.
After having this idea, I decided to take a double insurance approach to continue to prove whether what I just experienced was an illusion.
Next, I quickly took out a knife.
Raising the knife, I swiped towards the tiger's mouth without hesitation. With this swipe, I pierced the tiger's mouth.
The reason why I cut the tiger's mouth was because Ding Jiuye once told me that if you are really confused by dirty things, it is best to take double insurance, bite the tip of your tongue and then cut the tiger's mouth, so that you can quickly restore your clarity.
As the tiger's mouth was scratched, I felt nothing at first. After a while, I felt a pain from the tiger's mouth.
Having pain is a good thing. It means that all the functions of my body are functioning. If there is no pain after the body is damaged, it means that I have been deeply bewitched.
At this time, there was a sudden loud noise in my ears. This noise was like the chirping of countless birds, and then the air in front of me fluctuated, as if I was seeing waves in the wind.
This situation lasted only briefly. As the birdsong disappeared and the air in front of me stopped fluctuating, I looked around in shock.
At first glance, I found that there was no trace of Huangyue Lake and Bai Ze at all, and I let out a sigh of relief.
This means that I guessed it right, it was just the smell of piranha that brought me hallucinations.
I didn't see Huang Yuehu and the others, so I continued to look around. I couldn't help but be shocked when I saw that I was still in the place where I had just entered the cave.
Looking down again, he found that Lang Nier, Bai Ze and others were all lying on the ground. It seemed that everyone had been poisoned by the piranha just now, had severe hallucinations, and passed out.
Since Huang Yuehu and the Miao wizard might be hidden in this cave, I didn't dare to neglect, so I quickly took out the knife and wanted to pierce their tiger's mouth and let them wake up quickly.
I first came to Lang Ni and looked at her unconscious face, and then I put my heart in my stomach.
After piercing her tiger's mouth with a knife, I followed the same method and pierced the tiger's mouth of Bai Ze and everyone in the Huang family.
It didn't take much. After Lang Ni trembled, she was the first to open her eyes. After looking around suspiciously, she asked me in surprise: "Cheng Yi, what's going on? Why did I dream about us just now?" Are you fighting the zombies?"
When I was about to answer her question, I heard other people around me starting to wake up. After everyone woke up, their first reaction was shock.
"Hey, why did we faint all of a sudden just now?"
"Let's just say, not only did I pass out, I also had a terrible dream!"
"What the hell is going on?"
The people of the Huang family were the most shocked at this time, because they were all Huang Daxian's children. When it came to the ability to confuse people, if they, Huang Daxian, were second, no one would dare to say they were first.
But even so, they were still unconscious without knowing it. How could this not shock the Huang family, whose specialty is to confuse and confuse people?
After everyone woke up, the scene was in chaos, with their eyes wide open and doubtful expressions on their faces. Finally, their eyes all fell on me.
"Cheng Yi, what is going on? Why are we all unconscious but you are okay?"
A member of the Huang family asked me suspiciously.
Hearing his questioning tone, I couldn't help crying or laughing.
I heard that this guy still doubted me.
I wonder in my heart, if I were the one who confused you, would I still save you?
"Just like you, I fell into a coma just now, but I woke up earlier than you."
As I said that, I pointed to the piranha on the wall and continued: "This is the thing that confused our minds just now."
After being stunned for a moment, Lang Ni stood up: "It's actually it?"
I nodded and said: "Yes, this thing is not owned by us locally, but produced in southern Xinjiang. Now that it appears here, then the Huangyue Lake and the wizard we are looking for may really be hiding in this cave."
"Did it confuse us? No way, how could we, the Huang family, not notice anything when we were deceived? This is impossible!"
"Yes, it's possible for one person not to notice. Now that more than a dozen of us Huang family members are here, we are all confused at the same time. This is incredible."
The Huang family members were talking a lot, not believing that this piranha flower could confuse them.
Looking at the confused and confident Huang family in front of me, I thought to myself, these Huang family members are really arrogant. Are you the only ones in the world who can confuse people?
After frowning, I continued to explain.
"This kind of piranha comes from southern Xinjiang. The way it confuses people is to rely on the smell it emits. By the time we smell the smell, which is similar to that of a corpse, we have actually been tricked."
My words stunned all the Huang family members. They opened their mouths, but no one could say anything.
Because just now, before everyone saw any trace of the piranha, they had already smelled the stench similar to that of corpses. From this point of view, we had no way of guarding against it.
After all, we have learned before that a dozen villagers accidentally entered this cave. After they entered, they never came out and they probably died inside.
Since they were dead, it was natural for their bodies to rot and emit a stink, so when we entered the cave and smelled the smell of corpses, no one cared about it.
Even these Huang family members subconsciously thought that this was the smell emitted after the corpse decomposed.
"Actually, we were already tricked from the moment we entered the cave and smelled the smell. Even your Huang family didn't realize this, so you were deceived and fell to the ground without any awareness of precautions."
After I said these words, the Huang family were stunned and instantly understood what was going on.
"If it's really a matter of breath, then we're not wronged."
"Yeah, I'm really depressed. We, the Huang family, are actually collectively confused by people. If this spreads out, our Huang family will be completely embarrassed."
"That's right, if this kind of piranha really spreads through breath, then we wouldn't be too embarrassed."
Seeing that these confused and confident Huang family members understood what was going on, I let out a sigh of relief.
Who would have thought that before I even took a deep breath, I felt the eyes of the Huang family all looking towards me...
