Chapter 1182 The Antidote.
“Is this the person you mentioned over the phone? Is he the one who completed the challenge twice as fast and can teleport?”
the old woman asked, casting a glance at Alex as she addressed the young man.
The man standing before her appeared to be in his twenties, bearing an ordinary appearance that did not. distinguish him from
any other person. There was no apparent indication that he had practiced any powerful entomology.
The young man quickly nodded and said, “Yes, madam, that’s him. If you don’t believe me, I can get him to demonstrate for you
right now. I’m telling the truth.”
With a faint smile, Alex promptly appeared before the old woman, inquiring, “Do you believe me now? I’m the first person to
reach the destination. Can I proceed to the Holy Land and serve as a guardian?”
Hearing the urgency in Alex’s voice, the old woman’s cloudy eyes seemed to intensify, and her gaze toward Alex carried a subtle
complexity.
Having lived for nearly a hundred years, the old woman had never come across such a remarkably talented young man in that
area. Furthermore, Alex did not appear to possess expertise in entomology. Instead, he seemed akin to martial artists from the
outside world.
Considering all these factors, along with his urgent desire, the old woman grew even more suspicious of Alex’s hidden intentions.
“No, I won’t take you to the Holy Land. I want to make something clear while you’re here in front of me. Why did you come here
in the first place?” the old woman asked in a solemn tone.

Realizing his performance had drawn too much attention, Alex acknowledged that others could see through him. Normally, he
would have opted for a more discreet approach, but with his daughter’s life hanging in the balance, he felt a sense of urgency
and disorientation.
Since his true identity had been revealed, Alex saw no reason to continue hiding it any longer. With a determined expression, he
explained, “I’m not from this village, and my intention in participating in the challenge was not solely to become a guardian of the
Holy Land. If I must state my purpose, it is merely to meet the Holy Maiden and ask her a few questions. This matter concerns
my daughter’s life, so I have no choice but to resort to such means. I hope you won’t hold it against me.”
The old woman stared into his eyes when he was speaking and could discern a sincere tone in his voice, believing he was not a
liar. She continued asking. “What is your purpose in coming to this place? Tell me everything. Otherwise, I won’t allow you to see
the Holy Maiden.”
With a helpless sigh, Alex recounted his daughter’s situation to the old woman in front of him. He did not conceal anything in his
words and even mentioned the Insect Codex.
“What, how did you come to possess that evil book!” The old woman’s face registered shock as she gazed
at Alex.
The Insect Codex held a significant place in her memory. Once safeguarded within the Holy Land of their village, it had been
stealthily stolen without anyone’s knowledge, leaving no trace or updates since then.
The cultivation methods in the stolen Insect Codex were excessively violent and merciless, involving the sacrifice of numerous
innocent lives for rapid progress. Despite this, the villagers opted not to adopt these practices, out of ethical considerations.
However, in reverence for their ancestors, they refrained from destroying the book.

including
“Yes, there was a person who practiced the mentioned entomology and committed heinous acts, the murder of children. They
sought to kill me in retaliation for dismantling their secret bases, but I overcame them. It was during that encounter that I found
the book on the person’s body. I briefly examined it before placing it in my study, unaware that someone with ulterior motives
would later steal it,” Alex explained.
The old woman sighed. “Perhaps all of this is destined by fate! I have the antidote to cure the poison from the poisonous insect in
your daughter’s body. Come with me!”
“Really?” Alex’s face lit up with excitement. He realized that his decision to come to this place was indeed. the right one, as he
held hope that he could find the antidote he desperately needed.
