Zhou Xuan was stunned a little when Ye Qingtang suddenly spoke .

“Junior Sister Ye, there are three hundred skulls here . We need further investigation to understand the situation . You should not be so certain with your judgment . Our investigation is closely related to the three hundred lives here . We should examine every single skull . You cannot just conclude with a few sentences . Take this seriously . ” Zhou Xuan sneered .
The other two disciples also showed unpleasant expressions . They would not believe that Ye Qingtang could investigate the three hundred skulls within such a short period of time and reach a conclusion .
Ye Qingtang smiled when the rest challenged her . Her white fingers swiped through the pus on the decayed flash . She forced open the mouth of the skull and pulled out the rotten tongue .
“Senior Brother Zhou, look carefully . Is there anything abnormal with the tongue?”

Zhou Xuan frowned as he felt disgusted by the rotten tongue . However, he did not show anything on his face and pretended to be calm . “Just a rotten tongue . ”
Ye Qingtang chuckled and pulled out the dagger from her waist . She used the dagger to scale down a layer of mucus from the tongue and put it in front of Zhou Xuan .
Zhou Xuan almost vomited when he suddenly saw the disgusting mucus in front of his eyes .
“Senior Brother Zhou, the tongue is severely rotten indeed . But the residue of the Duanyuan Grass is well preserved . ”

“Duanyuan Grass?” Zhou Xuan’s face changed . He controlled his impulse to vomit and took a closer look at the mucus .
It was true that there was some dark green plant residue among the mucus . The residue was very tiny, and it was easily neglected if one did not examine carefully .
“Duanyuan Grass is a type of poisonous grass grown at the edge of the cliff . It is not fatal, but it will cause people to faint within a short period of time . The person will lose all senses and will not wake up no matter how noisy the surroundings are . ”
“Furthermore, it does not contain any smell . If it is crushed and put into tea, people will only treat it as tea leaves . No one will be able to detect that . ”

Ye Qingtang smiled and explained .
“The night when the people of the Spirit Condensation Mountain Village were murdered was the village master Wu Chengze’s birthday celebration . They were busy for the whole night and were definitely exhausted in the morning . It’s absolutely normal for them to drink some tea to quench their thirst . However, the tea that was mixed with Duanyuan Grass was enough to make everyone in the village faint . I’m afraid they didn’t even know how they died when they were murdered . ”
Ye Qingtang spoke slowly . However, Zhou Xuan and the rest were pale when they heard what she said .
They had noticed earlier that all the victims did not fight back before they were murdered . They suspected that someone poisoned them and tested the corpses with a silver needle . But the silver needle did not turn black .
They thought that their direction was wrong as even the most basic drug could turn the silver needle black .
They had never thought that the murderer would use Duanyuan Grass, which did not need any extraction processes .
Duanyuan Grass could make people faint, but it was not poisonous . Thus, no matter how they tried, they would have never found out the conclusion by using the silver needle . Furthermore, Duanyuan Grass was crushed to powder . If it entered the stomach and was mixed with the flesh, no one could find out anything!
