Chapter 272: He Must Be p.i.s.sed Off
Translator: Storm in a Teacup
The prey was poisonous? How could it be?
The point was how the prey got poisoned.
Long immediately sent some people to investigate, and soon they found that the East Mountain where the hunter had always been was suspicious.
The mountain was much frequented by the hunter and the Shadow Guardians went to that place with many other people.
The officers and soldiers found something strange there.
They found that the prey on the mountain seemed to be very aggressive.
Especially some large animals, they attacked once they saw humans!
In the past, it was not like this at all!
Some animals were even a headache for the Shadow Guardians!
After getting rid of some of them, the Shadow Guardians quickly went downhill to report the situation.
Long and s.h.i.+ rushed to that mountain in person.
After arriving there, s.h.i.+ naturally asked Long to follow him. Long didn’t plan to act on his own, either.
Besides, Long knew that he wasn’t good at martial arts and it was better not to become a burden to others!
s.h.i.+ frowned when he arrived there. “It’s a bit weird here.”
“Well, all the animals have become like this. It’s really strange,” Long said.
s.h.i.+ shook his head. “That’s not what I mean. I mean…”
“What?”
s.h.i.+ did not answer, but walked away thoughtfully.
s.h.i.+ went northeast. Long didn’t know what s.h.i.+ had found and just followed.
s.h.i.+ kept observing the ground while walking.
The Shadow Guardians followed behind.
“Qingzhou, is this place… like the mountain near the imperial city?”
What happened on that mountain was planned by Mr. Chen, so it was very likely that Mr. Chen did it again this time.
“It may be more serious than that. If Mr. Chen wants to replicate the plague in Quanzhou, the best way is to experiment on animals first. But… we have expected that and there are our people guarding every hill in Songye city… Guards here said that they found nothing strange…”Read manga at our MangaBob.com
Long shook his head. “There are many hills here. It’s normal that they can’t find anything.”
“Right…” s.h.i.+ pursed his lips. “There are many hills. It’s quite normal…”
While speaking, the two of them had reached halfway up the mountain.
East Mountain wasn’t very big. There were bushes, but not too many.
Therefore, not many people went there to hunt.
Just because of that, the wild animals didn’t need to be so aggressive to live in this mountain!
Long and s.h.i.+ almost reached the mountaintop, where s.h.i.+ finally found something.
“It really smells like that…”
Long’s expression also changed, “It’s like the so-called treasure!”
“Right.”
Just then, Liu’s voice was suddenly heard. “Yes, that’s the thing!”
Long and s.h.i.+ immediately turned to look at him.
They saw that Liu and Ouyang were running towards them quickly and Liu used his skills to transmit his sound earlier.
Moreover, his voice… was very strong and powerful. It was totally different from a few days ago when he was irritable and weak with a livid face!
Long and s.h.i.+ looked at each other, waiting for Liu’s arrival.
Both Liu and Ouyang arrived soon.
The two of them were refreshed and didn’t look gloomy at all!
Long spoke first. “Liu Suifeng, you finally came out. We thought you were going to stay in that room for a lifetime!”
“Haha.” Liu laughed. “Don’t worry. How could I stay at that place for a lifetime? Ten days is my limit!”
Long curled his lips. “It’s indeed been ten days.”
s.h.i.+ said, “Since you’ve come out, the problem must be solved, right?”
“That’s right,” Liu said with a smile, “It’s all done!”
After speaking, Liu took out something from his pocket.
That was s.h.i.+’s poisonous insect.
“Won’t you need it?” Long raised his eyebrows.
Liu nodded. “No, I won’t. Later, I’ll tell you in detail what Mr. Chen has done. Let’s solve the problem on this mountain first.”
“Do you know what’s going on here?” Long asked immediately.
“Compared to Mr. Song’s problem, the problem here is not worth mentioning. I need to find a place to burn the mountain.”
“To burn it? Why is that?” Long asked.
Liu said, “Here at this place, choose an area and burn the bushes. The smoke will restore the animals’ consciousness.”
“Oh? You mean that’s the antidote?”
“Yes, these animals are obviously abnormal. When we burn the bushes here, the smoke will blow over the mountain and make the animals recover.”
“Right, that’s a good idea,” Long nodded at once.
Since they said that, Long immediately asked the Shadow Guardians to cooperate with Liu.
Liu quickly circled an area on the top of the mountain and then set it on fire.
Liu led Long and the others to a safe place. “There is an antidote in the fire. We will set fire on every hill in Songye city. Then Mr. Chen won’t be able to do anything with the animals.”
“Good!” Long breathed a sigh of relief. “This matter shouldn’t be delayed!”
“Action now…”
Later, in less than half a day, all the hills in Songye city where there were animals were on fire.
Of course, the fire was controlled by the Shadow Guardians, so it didn’t spread across the entire mountains.
The fire was set just because it carried an antidote that ordinary people didn’t know.
Those animals would no longer be controlled and go mad!
After that, Long, Liu and the others returned to the house. “Well, hurry up and tell us what on earth is going on!”
“Yes.” Liu became very serious.
Song Qingtian was not poisoned, or broadly speaking, he was also poisoned.
But that wasn’t some ordinary poison, but an extremely powerful poisonous insect!
That poisonous insect could eat away at a person’s heart, but after his heart was eaten up, the person wouldn’t die.
The insect would continue to attack the person’s brain!
When the brain was almost finished off…
This person, from the inside out, would be controlled by the man who put the poisonous insect in his body.
Moreover, the victim wouldn’t feel anything! The special kind of poisonous insect wouldn’t make his appearance change a little bit!
Even if he went to the doctor, the doctor wouldn’t find any problems!
If Liu hadn’t checked it very carefully, he wouldn’t find anything wrong, either.
In addition, this poisonous insect had another peculiarity.
If someone had close contact or physical contact with the victim, there would be a small amount of toxin on his body.
Of course, the toxin was not fatal. At least, he wouldn’t be dead in a short time!
However, it would be a different matter if he was exposed to that for a long time.
Over time, not only would it be fatal, but it would also be contagious.
It was so serious that hundreds of people would be infected!
Therefore, after Liu discovered this serious problem, he asked everyone to be isolated.
In addition, when he was trying to make the antidote and get rid of the poisonous insect, he found his own method was useless and had to resort to using the so-called “treasure”.
Although that object was evil and could be used to make poison, it was also a good thing.
Since people could use it to make poison, it naturally could be used to remove poison, as long as the method was right.
Liu researched day and night. He even put the toxins in his own body to personally feel the power of the poison and poisonous insect. Then, he finally got it done.
Besides, he almost died. It could be seen how dangerous it was this time.
However, Liu understated the danger during the process.
Although Liu mentioned the difficulties casually, Long and the others still knew clearly how risky that was.
s.h.i.+ said, “So you’ve developed the antidote with their object.”
“Yes, and it’s an antidote to all kinds of poisons. As long as Mr. Chen’s poison was made through that object, it can be removed, including the poisonous insects!” Liu was full of confidence!
“So the poisonous insect in Mr. Song’s body has been removed?”
“Yes, but it’s a pity that the poisonous insect still took two bites of Mr. Song’s heart. I have tried my best. I’ll prescribe some medicinal materials to restore Mr. Song to health, but it is impossible for him to recover to the original condition.”
Luckily, that poisonous insect was tiny. If it were a bit bigger, Mr. Song would’ve already died after his heart was bitten!
s.h.i.+ pursed his lips. “It’s already the best result. You’ve done your best.”
Long also said, “Right, Chen Mengxing’s poison is so weird. He’s abnormal. Liu Suifeng, you’ve made a great contribution this time. We need to thank you.”
Liu waved his hand.
“By the way, Zhou Huan is here. Doctor Zhang said that the blood in her body has mutated a little, which has a miraculous effect on poisons. You can go take a look.”
“Oh? Is there such a thing?” Liu was a little surprised and nodded immediately. “Okay, I will go and see.”
After Liu and Ouyang left, Long looked at s.h.i.+ and smiled.
“Every cloud has a silver lining.”
s.h.i.+ also smiled. “Well, I bet Mr. Chen must be p.i.s.sed off.”
