Chapter 1171 Holy Land

There were hundreds of people not far from Alex. They were dressed in their village's unique attire, making the overall scene quite pleasing to the

сус.

Alex went there to replace someone knowledgeable about poisonous insects so he could ask for information about the insects. Those people before him looked like locals of the area.

Alex approached an elderly man with gray hair and asked, "Excuse me, sir, may I inquire about some concerns I have about poisonous insects?"

The elderly man looked up and narrowed his eyes at Yusheng. When he noticed that Alex wore a different attire than the people in the village, he paid Alex no mind and continued to watch the ongoing event. Only then did he realize that his question was somewhat abrupt. Every place had its own closely guarded secrets, and for the Venenum Clan, the most mysterious of all was their poisonous insects. How could they possibly reveal such a secret to others?

However, Alex's daughter's life was in grave danger. He needed to replace a way to cure the poison in Emmalyn's body, no matter what it took.

He patted his backpack and realized that he had left so quickly that he didn't bring anything valuable with him. All he had was the five hundred thousand cash that Jack had prepared for him before he left. Alex took one hundred thousand from his backpack and told the elderly man, "Sir, I just want to ask you some questions. If you're willing to answer, this money is all yours. If you don't want to, I'm sure others. would tell me for this amount."

Sure enough, the elderly man's eyes widened when Alex took out such a large amount of money. After all, no one could resist the temptation of money.

After some consideration, the elderly man felt what Alex said made sense. If he didn't speak up, someone else would. It would be better for him to do it himself, and then all the money would be his.. "What would you like to know?" the elderly man asked.

Seeing the elderly man smile as he compromised, Alex explained, "Well, my daughter has been poisoned. by something related to a poisonous insect. She's in critical condition right now. Her stomach has rotted, and the poison has spread into her blood. After being poisoned, she fell into a coma and developed a high-grade fever. Most importantly, her blood has turned somewhat green. Sir, do you happen to know what's going on?"

Alex recounted Emmalyn's situation in detail as he stared at the elderly man with anticipation.

"I've been dealing with poisonous insects since I was young. It's been decades, but I've never heard of such a situation. I may not understand it, but I know who might," the elderly man responded. Upon hearing that no one had seen such a case, Alex felt disheartened. However, when the elderly man mentioned that someone might know about it, Alex regained hope and eagerly asked, "Sir, do you know anyone who can treat this condition?"

The elderly man didn't answer Alex's question immediately. Instead, he averted his gaze to the stack of money in Alex's hand. He chuckled and said, "I can tell you, but you'll have to give me this money!" Without hesitation, Alex handed the one hundred thousand cash to the elderly man and asked, "Can you tell me now?"

The elderly man weighed the stack of money in his hand. His lips curved into a grin as he replied. "We only deal with the most ordinary poisonous insects, so we know as much as the average men do. However. our Holy Maiden is different. She was chosen to grow up in the Holy Land at a young age. The vast collection of books in the Heather should contain a solution to cure the poison in your daughter" Holy Maiden?

Alex never expected that the Venenum Clan still worshipped a Holy Maiden. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, he needed to go.

"Young man, your timing is quite fortuitous today. It's the Holy Ceremony held once every five years, where the guardians of the Holy Land are chosen. Once you've gone to the Holy Land, naturally, you'll be able to meet the Holy Maiden," the elderly man explained with a smile.
