Chapter 581 - Carmela Viper
James was lucky that he didn"t get washed ash.o.r.e. Instead, he directly entered a pitch-black cave downstream.
Macbeth"s eyes widened. "What? We can enter this s.p.a.ce just by going downstream?!"
They had spent a lot of effort to crack the mechanism to enter this place, but James found it by accident. It didn"t sound very fair, did it?
James shook his head gently. "It"s not that simple. The terrain downstream is completely different from the upstream. My entire body is full of injuries from the impact. You can see it from the injuries on my body."
It turned out that the entire river downstream would become unusually rugged. It was very, very dangerous for people to float in it. If they were not careful, they might be smashed into pieces.
James was considered lucky. He only suffered some minor injuries.
However, he was washed to a completely unfamiliar place. He could not get out at all.
"At that time, I wanted to wait for you guys at the same place. When you realized that I was gone, you guys would definitely look for me. However, after waiting for a long time, I felt a little bored. I could only open one of the s.p.a.ces to see what was inside..."
Unfortunately, he had forgotten about this place. It wasn"t completely safe. Any random s.p.a.ce could produce something extremely dangerous!
"After taking a step in, I felt an intense pain in my ankle. My entire body began to feel numb. At the last moment when my consciousness disappeared, I realized that the s.p.a.ce wasn"t safe, so I used all my strength to retreat and collapsed in this place."
After that, James lost consciousness, and when he woke up, he saw Klein.
Klein sighed softly. "Should I say that you"re lucky? Or unlucky? Don"t act rashly alone in the future!"
This place was indeed very dangerous. One wrong step could lead to eternal d.a.m.nation.
The snake that bit James was a snake called Carmela. Although it was poisonous, it wasn"t fatal.
It can cause paralysis and loss of consciousness.
Carmela has been used as a medium anesthetic for surgery for many years, and is relatively safe in controlled doses.
But if a Carmela were to bite him, the situation would be different.
If someone had not used the serum for first aid, he would have slept for three days and three nights.
At this moment, James felt that he was still dizzy, but he could barely stand up.
Macbeth was a little surprised. This person"s physical strength and recovery ability were indeed quite good.
"You"re all teammates. The three of you moving together really have a tacit understanding!"
At this moment, James realized that there was one more person in their team. It was most likely a companion they had met on the road.
However, Gray"s sarcasm made the atmosphere a little awkward.
"This person isn"t our companion. He"s just thick-skinned enough to climb up on his own, so there"s no need to pay attention to him!"
James was a little curious. From Klein"s description, he basically knew the ins and outs of the matter.
It seemed like there were indeed many people who had entered this area other than them.
The rumor that the people who had entered the forbidden area had mysteriously disappeared and never came out seemed to be a lie.
At least, Macbeth was an exception.
Recently, they had entered the forbidden cave purely for the sake of treasure hunting. There was a high probability that they would hide the fact that they had taken action, in case someone came to find trouble with them or even wanted a share.
After a short break, the few of them continued to explore. During the search, they discovered that the s.p.a.ce James entered seemed to be some rare resources there.
However, because it was all over Carmelas, the danger factor had also increased in a straight line. It was indeed a difficult problem to choose between them.
"You guys aren"t planning to enter that s.p.a.ce again, right? Although I was attacked right after I entered, I didn"t even get a clear look at the situation inside. This means that the Carmela"s movement speed is very fast, and it"s good at sneak attacks. As long as a person enters, they will definitely be bitten!"
James suggested that they explore other places. Once the few of them fell unconscious, even if they used the serum, they would lose most of their strength and would be unable to continue moving.
Klein was somewhat conflicted. He had discovered it when he used the system to explore.
Although this place was like a beehive, with one catacomb next to another, it was very close.
However, there was actually only one correct path, and this was also the only shortcut.
Although there were still no clues about this shortcut, the other paths were clearly dead ends. There was no way to take it.
Klein reached out and patted James on the shoulder.
Klein smiled and said, "Don"t worry. Not only do we have the serum, we also have a very powerful antidote. Don"t forget that I have the Black Lotus Flower."
James widened his eyes at the mention of the Black Lotus Flower.
There was only one Black Lotus Flower, but its usage rate was limited to begin with. They had already used two pieces to detoxify the poison the last time. If they were to continue using it, then the raw materials to refine the Immortal Divine Medicine would be gone!
Klein clearly didn"t put the refinement of the Immortal Divine Medicine on the agenda. He looked at all of this in a Buddhist manner.
Furthermore, it was a matter of urgency. Of course, he had to consider the matter in front of him.
Klein took out a petal and placed it everyone"s hands, including Macbeth.
As long as this thing was placed under their tongue, it would temporarily form a protective mechanism. It would be impervious to all poisons and wouldn"t be affected by anyone"s poison.
Macbeth was somewhat shocked. He was rather knowledgeable, but he never expected Klein to possess the legendary Black Lotus Flower.
Not only that, Klein didn"t seem to treat the divine herb as a precious item. Instead, he casually gave it to his other teammates.
"Boss, how did you obtain this thing? It"s said that this petal can be sold for a sky-high price in the black market. Wouldn"t it be a loss for you to just casually give it to us?"
It was unknown when he began to address Klein as "Boss", but he suddenly became "Boss".
It was as though he was bent on being Klein"s lackey.
Klein remained noncommittal as he pointed in front of him.
"It"s best to be careful when entering a s.p.a.ce that has already been cut open. Although we are now in a state of invulnerability, the Carmela"s speed should still be shocking..."
Once bitten and injured, it would affect one"s movement, especially Macbeth, who had very low defense.
Macbeth stretched out a hand and acted like a good student.
"Don"t worry, I"ll follow behind you. You guys clear the venomous snakes in front while I"ll defend myself from behind. There"s definitely no problem!"
Klein and Gray walked in front while Macbeth was in charge of taking care of the injured James. The four of them worked well together.
They carefully walked into the legendary s.p.a.ce that belonged to the Carmela.
The moment they stepped into the s.p.a.ce, Klein heard a very soft sound coming from beside his feet!
