Black blood slowly came out of Ge Ming's mouth. Either his cultivation was stronger, or because he did not contract much poison, his symptoms were not as ridiculous as the rest of the victims.

”It's...it's my turn,” Ge Ming tried very hard to utter the words. His face was filled with pain and helplessness.

It was finally his turn to pay the price for his reckless operation. When the poison struck the first time, Ge Ming already knew things were getting out of hand. He did not expect the Black Vatican's methods to be so frightening, so much scarier than he had imagined, to the extent that even a powerful Advanced Magician like him had no chance of escaping.

”Leader!”

”Leader, you can't die!”

”Quick, call Gray Hand!”

”It's useless, the Healing Magic is useless against it.”

The members of the Golden Battle Hunters gathered around their leader in fear and shock.

Even their leader Ge Ming, the strongest among them, had fallen victim to the poison. How could the rest of them survive?

The poison had thoroughly shattered their line of defense in their hearts. They fell hopelessly to the ground with blank looks in their eyes, not knowing what to do anymore.

”I told you, we shouldn't bother taking on those demons. It wouldn't have come to this if you listened to me!” said Sun Rong.

”Who is the asshole that set us up by giving us false information? If we managed to survive this, I swear I'll tear him into pieces!” yelled another Hunter furiously.

”Enough!” snapped Pan Jin.

Pan Jin clenched his fists once again, his eyes were full of red lines.

It was meaningless to abandon themselves to despair, as it would not help anyone survive in the current situation. Even their leader was trying to keep himself together after he was poisoned. It simply meant they had to rely on themselves!

”What's the point of venting our frustration on one another? Our enemy is the Black Vatican. If we are going to die either way, we might as well try looking for the members of the Black Vatican, and kill as many as we can. Otherwise, we are just a bunch of idiots that they played like a damn fiddle!” said Pan Jin.

”Captain is right. If we keep condemning one another here, none of us will survive until the end. The people of the Black Vatican must be hiding somewhere in these ranches. There are lots of places that we haven't searched yet. Leave a few people behind to maintain the order. The rest of you, turn this place upside down. I won't believe that we are unable to find the Black Vatican's vest!” exclaimed another captain of the Golden Battle Hunters, Hou Ting.

”Everyone, stick with your team. Don't move on your own. Report in if you find anything suspicious. Don't turn around even if someone is poisoned!”

Pan Jin realized that they could not stay here and wait for their death any longer; even their leader had contracted the poison. They had to make a move.

------

The remaining members of the Golden Battle Hunters soon split into several teams and conducted a blanket search around the ranches.

The people of the Black Vatican had most likely anticipated that the Golden Battle Hunters were determined to break the cauldrons and sink the boats when the poison struck again. Those who were hiding among the ordinary people immediately reported back to their base, updating them with the latest situation.

”Liu Pingsheng, who are you talking to?” a cleaning staff turned around looking at a yellow-faced man and asked.
