Over the next few days, Jiang You entered the man-eating ant nest several times. She needed to verify Chen Meiyu's words in her own way.

Even after forming an alliance, she would never completely trust someone she had just met.

The saying that one should not doubt those one employed, nor employ those one doubted, was based on the premise of familiarity and mutual understanding.

To trust someone completely was equivalent to placing her own life in that person's hands.

Jiang You was suspicious by nature, so she did not abandon what she was doing just because she had received information from Chen Meiyu.

According to Chen Meiyu, the reason the staff from Four Seasons Valley were unwilling to enter the area around the mine tunnels was that the black ore contained a toxin. Those exposed to it for a long time would suffer chronic poisoning.

The toxin would not kill them immediately, but it would slowly damage their internal organs.

For ordinary survivors, only a few months passed between entering Four Seasons Valley and dying, so chronic poisoning meant little to them.

They usually died before the poison could even take effect.

Chen Meiyu was different. She had been stationed here for a long time, and to stay alive, she had to find a way to counteract the toxin.

Everything in the world existed in mutual restraint. Man-eating ants feared this black ore.

But no one knew that man-eating ant eggs could also neutralize the black ore's poison.

Therefore, Chen Meiyu needed to take man-eating ant eggs regularly to resist the toxins in her body.

The others in Four Seasons Valley certainly did not know that man-eating ant eggs could neutralize the black ore's toxins. If they did, they would not have been afraid to approach the mine tunnels.
