Chapter 300 Antidote
After dealing with the black-scaled monster, Li Xiaoyi didn't dare to delay for a moment and immediately moved to Shen Xu's side to check the injuries on his back.
The wound, struck by the venom, was an eerie, jet-black color, with wisps of black energy emanating from the surrounding skin and spreading into the surrounding meridians.
Seeing this, Li Xiaoyi was extremely anxious. She continuously poured cold energy into the meridians around Shen Xu's wound, but unfortunately, her cold energy had a much greater effect on the soul than on the physical body, and it was completely unable to stop the spread of the poison.
But she had no choice but to increase the intensity of the chilling attack while stuffing various antidotes into Shen Xu's mouth.
"Xiao Yi, stop! Otherwise, I'll either be poisoned or frozen to death." Shen Xu forced a smile.
"Why were you so foolish? You could have easily dodged it!" Tears welled up in Li Xiaoyi's eyes.
"I don't know either, I just did it subconsciously. I definitely made a stupid choice." Looking at He Yu, who was lying unconscious and barely breathing beside him, Shen Xu couldn't help but smile.
It seems he really is a good person.
"But you don't need to worry too much, this little bit of poison is no match for me. But I need your help."
He used the power of blood to temporarily block the spread of the toxin, and now Li Xiaoyi needs to cut off the flesh that has been contaminated with the toxin.
The essence of blood sealed off the flow of blood, and the vitality within the storage bottle continuously nourished the damaged flesh. Coupled with the presence of coldness, Li Xiaoyi painlessly removed the toxin-stained flesh from his back.
Although some toxins inevitably entered his bloodstream, causing his consciousness to become slightly blurred, it was no longer of great importance.
The Yuanjia (a type of magical armor) did work; if the venom had penetrated his flesh and reached his internal organs, he would have been beyond saving.
However, the price was that his entire back was almost a bloody mess, and as the chill slowly faded from his soul, excruciating pain pierced straight from his back to his head, causing him to almost faint from the pain.
Only after he had gotten used to the excruciating pain did he realize that the power of blood seemed to be able to accelerate the healing of the wounds on his back. What was the reason for the wounds on Crane Feather's body?
But he could only attribute it to the fact that Tsuruha's body was too fragile to quickly provide the substances needed to heal wounds.
Their injuries were already severe enough, and they had been in the same place for far too long; the scent emanating from the two humanoid monsters was no longer enough to conceal them for much longer.
After considering their current situation, he and Li Xiaoyi both agreed that they could not continue forward. Given their current condition, even if they entered the True Blood Palace, they would probably not be able to find the World Spirit, let alone save their lives.
Just then, a loud crane cry came from above the blood mist, and then the Spirit Crane gracefully landed in front of him.
"Now I believe you really are good at avoiding danger; you don't get involved in anything risky at all!"
Shen Xu couldn't help but smile wryly, but his gaze quickly turned serious.
"I never expected that someone would bring a child to the True Blood Palace. It's quite a strange thing." A disheveled, ragged middle-aged man emerged from the blood mist.
"I didn't expect there would be any normal people here," Shen Xu replied coldly.
"Compared to you, I'm hardly a normal person."
"What do you want to do?"
"Didn't you send your spirit pet to me to save you? But now it seems you are indeed very powerful. Black Serpent and Bloodwing are considered top-tier blood demons in the Blood Mist. I never expected that they would both perish at your hands." The man's tone was somewhat wistful.
"The venom of the black snake is called 'one-day death'. Simply cutting off the poisoned flesh is useless. Even if you only get a trace of it, you will die suddenly one day after being poisoned."
I can tell you how to cure the poison, but you need to give me half of the antidote.
“Sure!” Li Xiaoyi replied immediately.
"Great! It's actually very simple. Generally, there is an antidote for highly poisonous substances within seven steps, and the gallbladder of the black snake is the antidote."
However, his snake gall is still highly poisonous; taking it alone is tantamount to suicide. But if a Cleansing Herb is added, its toxicity can be neutralized. Coincidentally, I happen to have a Cleansing Herb on hand. But what are you going to offer in exchange?"
"How about some snacks?" Shen Xu replied.
"Hahaha... I really like your joke." The man burst into laughter.
"It's just a matter of mutual benefit." Shen Xu took out a pastry he had taken before leaving and tossed it to the man. He believed that the person brought by Qi Ling Baihe was not a malicious person.
The person in front of me not only knows so much about the black snake's venom, but he has also appeared near the black snake. Obviously, someone among the people he cares about has also been poisoned by the black snake.
The man reached out and caught the flying pastry, took a deep sniff, and sighed, "What a nostalgic aroma. Only newcomers like you would have these things." He then carefully put them into his pocket.
"My name is Guo Yan. You guessed right, we did indeed get what we wanted. My wife has also been poisoned by the black snake and urgently needs its gallbladder to save her life."
This place is not safe to stay for long. If you trust me, you can come with me. I and several like-minded companions live in a relatively safe place.
"From what you're saying, once you enter the blood mist, you can't get out?" Shen Xu asked, frowning.
"Pretty much. The blood demons inside the blood mist will go crazy and stop anyone who wants to go to the True Blood Palace, and we can't find a way out. We're trapped in the middle of the blood mist, unable to go in or out, and maybe one day we'll become blood demons too."
Guo Yan's words made Shen Xu and Li Xiaoyi exchange a glance. If what Guo Yan said was true, then the Qiling White Crane had really been a great help.
“We do need a relatively safe place to recover, but the question is whether your words are credible?” Li Xiaoyi asked coldly.
“Your spirit pets have been to our place,” Guo Yan replied.
Upon hearing Guo Yan's words, the Qiling White Crane let out a short cry, which was considered an admission of the matter.
"Okay, we agree," Shen Xu said, confident that the Qiling White Crane wouldn't betray him.
“You made the right choice.” Guo Yan walked up to the black snake, sighed softly, and then conjured a sharp claw to cut off the snake’s gall bladder.
"A few years ago, Black Snake was one of us. He was a very good person. He personally told us the method of detoxification. My wife is still alive today because of the inheritance he left behind."
Unfortunately, he transformed into a blood demon during one of his explorations. Perhaps the spirit warriors within the blood mist are ultimately destined to become blood demons. I don't know how many more years I can hold on.
"Do you know Huo Yan?" Shen Xu suddenly asked.
"Huo Yan!! Have you met her?" Guo Yan asked excitedly.
"No, but her daughter asked me to come and find her."
Hearing Shen Xu's words, Guo Yan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but after a while, his eyes lit up again, "Her daughter? Then isn't that Xiao Jing's daughter!"
"Xiao Jing? Xiao Si's father!" Shen Xu was immediately shocked; he had actually found the True Blood Palace.
He hadn't read Huo Yan's letter, so how did he know that Huo Yan had visited the True Blood Palace?
"Huo Yan did stay here for a while, but she left us soon for the True Blood Palace. Not long after she left, Xiao Jing came here. He was very weak and it was lucky that he made it this far."
However, he never gave up on the idea of going to the True Blood Palace to find Huo Yan, and has been staying here to cultivate diligently ever since, now almost reaching the Blood Transformation Realm. He would be very happy if he knew you knew about his daughter.”
"What do you plan to do with this child?" Guo Yan asked, looking at He Yu, who was lying unconscious to the side.
"Of course I'll take him!" Shen Xu answered firmly, then slowly walked towards He Yu.
“I’ll carry him on my back!” Li Xiaoyi said.
Shen Xu gently shook his head. "This child is in very poor condition, and so am I. I'm afraid I can't maintain his current condition unless I get closer to him."
“The wounds inflicted by the blood beast are not easy to heal, let alone for an ordinary child.”
"I have some homemade herbs here. If you trust me, you can apply them to him," Guo Yan suddenly said.
