…
On the wide surface of the lake, a wooden boat was moving quickly along with the waves.
The boat soon approached the shore. The Foehn Hunter Squad finally felt a little safer when they were on the shore. They leaned against a rock to rest.
"It's my first time being so close to a Carnage Poisonous Salamander!" Xie Hao exclaimed.
"Zhong Li, what are you doing!?" Gu Ying demanded.
"I'm digging out its poison glands. I can sell them for a lot of money. Speaking of which, why is its skin so thick? I can't even cut its stomach open with my Deathstrike Magic Equipment!" Zhong Li said.
"Cut through its wound, you idiot!" Gu Ying scolded him.
"That's right!"
Zhong Li soon discovered a claw mark on the Carnage Poisonous Salamander's stomach. It was a lot easier to cut through the Carnage Poisonous Salamander's stomach.
Slash!
The Carnage Poisonous Salamander's stomach was cut open. A huge pile of filth poured out of its bulging stomach. A foul smell immediately filled the air!
"How … how disgusting!" Gu Ying turned her head away.
Only Zhong Li would do this sort of work. However, Zhong Li had indeed obtained a considerable amount of wealth from dissecting the corpses of demons. Otherwise, with his laziness and stupidity in cultivation, he wouldn't have been able to reach the middle level!
"Boss, come and take a look!" Zhong Li blurted out in surprise, as if he had discovered something from the pile of filth.
"Do you have a death wish?" Gu Ying snarled.
"I'm not kidding. Boss, you have to come and take a look. We might have discovered something incredible!" Zhong Li was overjoyed.
While speaking, Zhong Li didn't mind the filth in the slightest as he fished out some shell eggs from their stomachs.
"Why are there so many hatchlings of the Salamander Demons in its stomach? Aren't these shells the hatchlings of the Salamander Demons?" Gu Ying asked in confusion after recognizing some of the shells.
"Is the Carnage Poisonous Salamander eating the hatchlings of the Salamander Demons?" Xie Hao wondered.
"No, these hatchlings have complete shells," Zhong Li said.
"Then why are there so many shells in its stomach?"
Gu Ying stared at the creatures. She said after a moment of thought, "It's a female venomous salamander carrying a lot of eggs."
"This is a huge discovery! Hurry up and inform Fan Mo! Maybe we've figured out the secret behind the Salamander Demons' reproduction!" Zhong Li said excitedly.
"Mm, mm!" Gu Ying smiled too.
"Wah, what is this thing!!" Xie Hao suddenly shouted.
Xie Hao was also inspecting the debris and found a human leg inside!!
This person's leg was stained with a sticky substance, but the corrosion was not serious. It was obvious that it had not been digested for too long.
"Did … did the Carnage Poisonous Salamander eat someone?" Zhong Li was quite bold. He picked up the leg and inspected it.
"There should be other parts. It looks like they haven't been eaten for too long. The flesh hasn't been digested yet."
"You guys are so disgusting. Can you stop doing that?" Gu Ying said, covering her mouth.
Zhong Li did not mind at all. He tried to piece the body together. Unfortunately, he could only piece the body together, but it was so blurry that he could not recognize it.
"Let's bury it!" Big Nose said.
"Hang on, we might know this guy …" Zhong Li suddenly said sternly.
"My God, how do you know him in this state?"
"Look at this," Zhong Li took out a dirty badge and washed it with water.
The badge was made of metal, so it was not easy to digest. The pattern on it was still clear. Even the color had not faded.
"It's the badge of the Cangjin Hunter Squad!" Gu Ying recognized it immediately.
The Cangjin Hunter Squad was quite close to the Foehn Hunter Squad. Their captain, Lan Jin, was an old friend of Gu Ying's. To Gu Ying's surprise, the person that the Carnage Poisonous Salamander had eaten was from the Cangjin Hunter Squad.
Strange, wasn't the Cangjin Hunter Squad with Lu Zhuo and Li Yumei? How did they end up in the mouth of the Carnage Poisonous Salamander? Did they run into some kind of danger?
"Should we go and take a look? It looks terrible!" Xie Hao said.
"Are you out of your mind? We were almost eaten by that thing too, and we're still going to a dangerous place … Besides, do you know where the Cangjin Hunter Squad is? The guy must have been eaten somewhere else!" Big Nose said.
"I do know where they are," Zhong Li said.
"How do you know?" Gu Ying asked with a confused face.
"The Carnage Poisonous Salamanders have Ghost Water Leaves in their stomachs. My mentor told me that there's only one place with Ghost Water Leaves in the Thousand Islands Lake. It's the Cave Island. The Cave Island is connected to the lake below. The Ghost Water Leaves will only grow in an environment like that." Zhong Li pulled out some strange-looking leaves that had been digested from a huge pile of filthy things as he spoke.
It was easy to identify the Ghost Water Leaves. Xie Hao and Gu Ying had seen them before. The Ghost Water Leaves were sold at a high price on the market, but not many people knew where they grew and where they were distributed. No one dared to venture into the Cave Island, either.
"Let's go and take a look. The Cangjin Hunter Squad was the one that gave us a quest when we were in dire straits. We can't just leave them in the lurch now that they are in danger," Gu Ying said.
"Captain, we can't even protect ourselves. The Carnage Poisonous Salamanders are there!" Big Nose immediately objected.
"Hey, Big Nose, what are you afraid of? Did you forget that we still have the wolf ancestor? Did you forget how he tortured the Carnage Poisonous Salamanders to death? "Zhong Li said.
"That's right, maybe we can get more benefits from it!" Xie Hao blurted out excitedly.
The Foehn Hunter Squad was a lot bolder now that the Flying Creek Snow Wolf was on their side.
They were not too far away from the Cave Island. It would not take them too long to reach the island by boat. Zhong Li wrote a letter about the eggs of the Salamander Demons in the Carnage Poisonous Salamander's stomach. He tied the letter to a tree branch and smeared the letter with the scent that the Messenger Eagles liked.
This was also a relatively simple way of transmitting information. When the mobile phone was not working, the messenger eagle would sniff out the scent to find the hunter and deliver the letter back.
Gu Ying was worried that the Cangjin Hunter Squad would all die if they went back to the Minghu Outpost now. She decided to go there first and inform Mofan of her discovery through the Messenger Eagles.
…
Zhong Li was like a living map of the Thousand Islands Lake. The Cave Island was a well-hidden place, yet he had managed to find it. The Foehn Hunter Squad tensed as they approached the Cave Island.
The scent of blood was easy to spread.

(Explanation: In terms of time, the incident with Lu Zhuo on the Cave Island happened first, followed by the Foehn Hunter Squad's encounter with the Carnage Poisonous Salamander. I've mixed up the order and timing of the plot when I wrote the story. Some readers might understand, but some readers are confused, so I'm trying to explain!)
