Chapter 519: The Antidote To the Venomous Snake
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
Cruise’s entire face turned extremely ugly, and he was on the verge of tears.
He would really die before he had even gotten the chance to succeed. How could an exploration that was supposed to be going well turn into a life-and-death parting?
“I won’t really die here, right? Is there really no antidote?”
“Why did the water snakes only bite me and not the two of you? This is too unfair!”
Klein frowned slightly as he looked at the wound on Cruise’s leg.
In fact, he also found it strange. There were so many water snakes, but they were only surrounding them. It didn’t seem like they had any intention of attacking them,
Why was there only one water snake that would attack Cruise?
Furthermore, just the toxicity of these water snakes was enough to rule the world.
However, most of the water snakes didn’t seem to have any malicious intentions of attacking humans.
It was possible that they had been angered by Klein’s violent behavior and were defending themselves?
Cruise seemed like a weak and easily bullied woman who often squatted in a corner and moaned, but he actually had the ability to destroy the world?
Klein frowned slightly and took out the first aid kit from his body. He treated the wound briefly and bandaged it properly.
Klein frowned slightly and said, “Don’t worry. I’m saying that it might be too late to send you back, but I’m not saying that you can’t be saved. I’ll think of a way to save you. Based on my experience, since there’s a venomous water snake in this place, the antidote must be nearby!”
James frowned slightly. “Although you’re experienced, the randomness of this situation is too great. If we can’t find the antidote, then Cruise will die.”
To them, Cruise’s life was the most important thing at the moment. They couldn’t just casually dispose of him.
Cruise nodded as well. “That’s right. You also said that I won’t be able to make it back in my current condition. It also takes time to find the antidote. Can you guarantee that you’ll be able to find it in a short period of time?”
Klein’s mind was already racing. He didn’t wish for anything to happen to Cruise.
However, without a powerful antidote or serum, he could only take a gamble based on his own experience.
He quickly found the Black Lotus Flower he had obtained previously from his backpack.
Cruise was taken aback. “Klein, what are you trying to do? This Black Lotus Flower was obtained by the both of us after much difficulty. Don’t tell me you plan on using it for me?”
Although his life was hanging by a thread, Cruise still knew that his life was not as valuable as the Black Lotus Flower.
Klein glared at Cruise. “Shut up first! To me, nothing is more important than the life of a living person, not to mention that you’re my partner!”
He knew that the Black Lotus Flower was priceless, but the greatest value of the Black Lotus Flower was not money, but the ability to save a person’s life.
As he spoke, Klein had already torn two petals from the Black Lotus Flower. He clenched them tightly in his hands, grabbed the back of Cruise’s neck, and forced them into his mouth.
Cruise felt a bitter taste seep into his throat, and he felt as though his entire mouth and nose were blocked.
He really wanted to spit out this disgusting thing, and an intense suffocation assaulted him.
He didn’t expect that the priceless Black Lotus Flower would taste so disgusting!
He swallowed his saliva and finally swallowed the two petals.
After Klein removed his hand, Cruise coughed violently, as though he was about to cough his lungs out.
“Damn, this thing is too disgusting. It has a pungent and thick taste, and it’s especially bitter!”
Klein rolled his eyes. “I’ve never heard of a good medicine not being bitter and beneficial to the illness. The more disgusting the medicine, the more effective it is. These two petals can guarantee that you won’t be poisoned for at least eight hours!”
In other words, although these two petals couldn’t completely detoxify the poison, he wouldn’t be in a life-threatening situation for at least eight hours.
The most important thing was that they had eight hours to find an antidote for Cruise.
Cruise instantly felt that the numbness in his entire body had lessened significantly. Although his legs were still unable to move, he wasn’t feeling as uncomfortable as before.
Klein had originally intended to use such an expensive herb to make an Immortal Divine Medicine.
Cruise asked, “Don’t you feel sorry for giving it to me so easily?”
Klein patted Cruise on the shoulder. “Don’t ask such a stupid question. I’ve already answered it just now. Furthermore, this Black Lotus Flower has a total of eighteen petals. There’s no need to use so many to make an Immortal Divine Medicine. It’s not a big deal to use two of them!”
Then, Klein and James moved Cruise to a safer place to hide. The two of them made a decision to help Cruise find the antidote first.
James began to feel vexed.
James looked at Cruise and said, “You said that there’s really an antidote nearby? Why don’t I believe it?”
This was because they had entered a space with a gurgling stream.
However, the surrounding plants weren’t lush. There were only a few weeds that looked like plants.
After that, it would be even more difficult to find the antidote.
Klein patted James on the shoulder. “Don’t harden your thoughts. Although I said that I was looking for an antidote, I didn’t say that it must be a plant. Perhaps it’s something else?”
As he spoke, Klein led James into the tree hole.
The light inside was getting dimmer and dimmer. If they didn’t rely on lighting, they wouldn’t be able to see their own fingers.
After passing through a small cave, the front suddenly opened up. A huge space appeared in front of the two of them,
The size of the space was beyond their imagination. It stretched as far as the eye could see.
James suspected that this space had even hollowed out the entire tree hole.
“Who on earth dug such a big hole in the middle of this giant tree? How big a project is this?”
If this project was all man-made, then there must be someone living here. Who would live here, in a place where there was no light and resources were scarce?
Before he could finish his sentence, the two of them heard the sound of wings flapping.
Furthermore, the sounds came one after another, and they were getting closer and closer to them.
Klein already had a bad premonition. He could even determine what the creature that made the sound was from the flapping of its wings!
Following that, a group of pitch-black things flew out from the depths of the tree hole. Their speed was astounding.
“Quick, find a place to hide. This is a group of bats!”
Just as Klein reacted, the bats had already flown in front of the two of them.
Most importantly, bats often came out during the day and at night, carrying all sorts of toxins on their bodies.
If they were bitten, the consequences would be unimaginable. It would probably be even worse than Cruise.
James was also badly frightened. He quickly took off his coat and wrapped his head and face tightly in it, finding a relatively safe place to hide.
Klein waved his coat around to get rid of these annoying guys.
