Poison Experiment
“Old man, I suggest you wise up. I’ll exterminate their entire race if that’s what it takes to be rid of this poison. Now, how much blood do you need?”
Jade Wyrm threw the doctor through a chair, prompting the doctor to hold the two baskets on his chest so that the children wouldn’t be harmed. The doctor crawled to his feet to answer, “These two are too young to possibly provide you with enough blood when the poison has infected you for so long! Send them back to the valley, and ask Elder Tiantu to replace them. I believe he’d be willing to supply you with blood.”
Jiao Guanwen stole a glimpse of the doctor as he entered and then bowed to Jade Wyrm, “Your subject has brought them back.”
“Bring them over.”
Jade Wyrm’s subordinates shunted Elder Tiantu’s family into the building. Jade Wyrm then turned to the doctor with a simper. “I believe we have enough blood now, Doctor.”
“My babies!”
Elder Tiantu ran over to find his kids in the basket as still as corpses. Concerned for his children, he forgot he was kidnapped and, in a raspy voice, pleaded, “Doctor, please check on my kids.”
“They’re just unconscious. They’re fine,” assured the doctor.
“Thank you. Thank you,” expressed Mrs. Tiantu.“How did you end up kidnapped?” quietly asked the doctor.
“We were just sleeping last night. Next thing we knew when we woke up, we were already here.”
Annoyed, Jade Wyrm discharged his Ascension Realm energy, putting Elder Tiantu on his bottom. “Enough drivel. Doctor, how much blood do I need? Two adult bugs will suffice, right?”
Elder Tiantu didn’t need much effort to compute what was going on when Jade Wyrm was notorious for his ruthless ways and ambitions.
“Show me where the herbs are,” demanded the doctor.
Jade Wyrm gestured for Jiao Guanwen to show the doctor the way to his tremendous herb collection that he prepared to cure himself.
The doctor concocted an antidote specific to Jade Wyrm’s needs and easily obtained some blood from Elder Tiantu without the necessary long-winded explanation. When he served it up, however, Jade Wym accused, “You think I’d trust an antidote you concocted?”
“Why’d you ask me to prepare it if you’re not going to trust me?!”
“You expect me to trust a lowly fiend, not to mention a human’s formula? Drink it. What if you’re feeding me poison?”
“I’m leaving it here. You decide whether you will take my word or not!”
Candidly, the doctor did consider just poisoning Jade Wyrm to death. Nevertheless, that would jeopardise Sunshine Valley as Jade Wyrm’s minions would avenge their leader.
“Your provocations won’t work. We just need someone to test it.”
“Test it?”
“As a doctor, you’d be willing to test a concoction for your patient, wouldn’t you?”
“You want me to test it?”
“If your concoction can neutralise ruins poison, why are you afraid? If you can’t save even yourself, don’t blame me for retaliation.”
“Who’s going to save you if I don’t live through it?”
“Don’t die, then. Else, I’ll have to seek out Mu Yu.”
Jade Wyrm would have hunted Mu Yu if he wasn’t busy alleviating the symptoms of the poison over the last few days.
Jade Wyrm dragged the doctor and Elder Tiantu’s family off to the ruins, with his three henchmen following along. They came to a halt at a kilometre away from the mist, and then Jade Wyrm shoved the doctor forward. “Keep going. I believe you know how to stay alive.”
Even though he knew how to concoct and antidote for the poison, the doctor still feared the mist that had been engraved in his bones that it was something to be terrified of and rightfully so. After all, if the poison spread faster than he could produce an antidote, all the knowledge would be for naught. Nonetheless, he forced himself to trudge forward for it was the only way to survive. He chose to go where the mist was thinnest and fell back as soon as he noticed the mist approach.
Upon returning to Jade Wyrm, Jade Wyrm presented the doctor with the antidote concocted earlier. “Drink it. If it can neutralise the poison in you, I’ll believe you. Otherwise…”
Already succumbing to the poison, the doctor quivered as h took the bowl. He added some extra herbs to ensure the dosage was enough for his scenario, prompting Jade Wyrm to point out, “I knew you were deceiving me.”
“I never had any reason to. Believe what you want!”
The doctor felt the burning sensation the antidote produced and soon hurled up black blood, all of which Jade Wyrm watched intently.
“Hahahaha, you haven’t let me down,” remarked Jade Wyrm, casting his gaze onto the trembling divine silkworm family.
“Now that you know it works, I can concoct your serve back at your place, and then you better release us!”
“Release you? Pfft. You tried to harm me with a fake formula, and now you want to be spared? As for the divine silkworms, I’ll raise them as domestic pets.”
“Kill me, and you’ll suffer forever.”
Jade Wyrm looked Jiao Guanwen’s way. “You remember?”
“I remember the herbs, volume and procedure, My Lord.”
“In that case, we can get rid of him in case Fiend King Phoenix gets on our case.”
