    This chapter is the climax and turning point of the story, and the plot is tense and exciting. Ling Yue and Su Qinghuan's investigation in the mass graves was thrilling at every step. From discovering the truth about the corpses of the refugees, to the thrilling confrontation with the zombie poison and the poison mother, to Xuan Jizi's crazy counterattack, the rhythm was tight and exciting. The two people's tacit cooperation and firm belief are the highlights of this chapter. They have the trust to fight side by side and the warmth of protecting each other. Details such as the guidance of the mysterious bone pendant and the use of the poison-killing liquid enrich the setting of "identifying poison". At the end, the mystery was caught, but the conspiracy between the Bronze Mask remnants and the Wei vassal king continues, leaving suspense for the follow-up. This chapter not only promotes the main plot, but also deepens the image of the protagonist and lays the foundation for the next adventure.
