Chapter 90: Detoxification

  McDonald's, Day 5. Noon.

  The entire fortress was still the same as in the past few days. The monster attack was fierce, but it didn't last long. The soldiers were already used to it and were repairing the various wounds on the city wall caused by the monsters in an orderly manner. The civilians under the city wall also spontaneously organized to provide logistical support for the soldiers.

  However, in the residence of the highest official of McPhee Castle, several people's faces looked extremely solemn. Prince Bedi was poisoned and his life was at stake with just one misstep.

  Chen Le is now a head two sizes bigger. The soldier that Maddy found has not been found yet, and the progress of Aegir's light magic tool is also unknown. Moreover, Queen Bedy's poisoning symptoms are getting heavier and heavier, and she may die at any moment.

  Chen Le thought it was necessary to take some life-saving measures now.

  Chen Le held a scorching hot knife and said to Bodi, "Prince Bodi, I'm going to give you some emergency treatment now. First, let me ask you, are you afraid of pain?"

  Bai Di, although weak, shook his head. Chen Le said solemnly: "Alright, I'll cut a wound on my body now and let out some toxic blood to buy some time. If it really hurts too much, then hand it over."

  Bai Di nodded and closed his eyes at the same time.

  "Chen Le took a deep breath and said: 'Alright! I'll take action!'"

  The knife in Chen Le's hand was already red-hot. When the blade approached Bodi's skin, the hairs on his skin all shrunk together.

  There are two regular circular marks on the wound, but they are of no use in judging the toxin. The knife cuts directly from the wound.

  "Ahh!!!" Badi let out a miserable scream like a slaughtered pig, while his body began to shake continuously.

  Chen Le stopped the movement of the knife and said to Bodi: "Wait until you get used to it, this knife will be very long."

  The scorching knife lingered in the body, not only stimulating Bodi's flesh but also Chen Le's courage, as this was Chen Le's first time performing such a surgery.

  Gradually, Bodi's cries stopped, and he opened his eyes to signal Chen Le to continue.

  Chen Le slowly moved the knife, and the sharp blade easily opened Bodi's skin and flesh.

  Soon, the bleeding stopped and the dark blood flowed out of the wound at a moderate pace. Bedi's complexion also improved slightly.

  Chen Le stood quietly beside them, praying for those two people to hurry up.

  Ten minutes later, Aegs rushed in first, holding a shining scepter in his hand. As he walked in, he looked at Maddie's bloody face and stared at Chen Le in surprise.

  Chen Le shook his head and stretched out his hand, Aegys held out both hands and handed the scepter to Chen Le, who took it and began to examine it.

  Chen Le spoke in a low voice to Aegrys: "Let me explain my treatment process. First, let's talk about the role of light magic equipment."

  "Holy magic has the effect of repelling evil things, and snake venom just happens to be one of those things, so I need something related to holy elements."

  "The second step is actually quite simple, understand what the snake looks like and then configure the antidote. Just now I did some emergency treatment for Prince Bedi, plus this staff of light, I think it should be able to get through tonight."

  "So what do I need to do now?" Aegir asked with a nod.

  "Go help Maddy find someone, the key to the entire treatment is on him. Remember to hurry, our time is precious!"

  Aiges didn't say a word, he directly pushed open the door and ran out again. To be honest, Chen Le was also somewhat helpless towards this bold prince. A good prince shouldn't sit in his own palace enjoying himself, but instead came to the front line of the war. If that's not enough, he even went to command at the most dangerous place.

  Chen Le lowered his head and muttered: "Zha Zha Ben, quickly tell me what kind of snake-shaped demon beast caused this?"

  "Master, I'm very sorry,"

  I don't know. I can only scan if things exist, there's no way for me to parse them in detail."

  "Alright, Xiaozha, you continue resting."

  Chen Le ended his conversation with Zha Zha Ben, then looked at Badi with a helpless expression and let out a long sigh, saying: "Badi Wang, this time if you make it through, consider yourself lucky, but if you don't, I can only say I did my best. Once we're in the Underworld, don't think about coming to find me for revenge!"

  Bai Di smiled wryly, but his eyes were very determined. Chen Le felt a sense of despair about this, what kind of thing was this.

  "Cough! Cough! Cough!" Bedi started a frantic coughing fit. Chen Le shook his head and raised the staff.

  Light, dazzling light, that radiance filled the entire room. Bodi was completely covered in the radiance, and so was Chen Le.

  Chen Le thought to himself as he basked in the light: "Wow, this thing is really comfortable! No wonder those people from the Church of Light have so many followers. With something like this, how could they not have a lot of followers?"

  Bei Di, after being illuminated by the holy light, miraculously stopped coughing. Chen Le also slightly put his mind at ease, and it seemed that what was said was not wrong.

  But unexpectedly, this unexpected blow destroyed Chen Le's fragile heart.

  "Unlock Emergency Quest: Rescue Brightstone Bedi! Quest Reward: Randomly draw a Human Hero. Quest Failure Penalty: Lose the right to build Human structures!"

  "Damn it! Don't play like this!" Chen Le thought of scolding loudly, if he had known that this guy would appear with such a task, he would have given up treatment early. However, considering the hero's strength, Chen Le still gritted his teeth and went on.

  Even if I gritted my teeth now, it would be useless. If anxiety could save a person, then what's the point of having medicine?

  －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

  It was dusk when Aegys and Madi arrived with three people.

  Chen Le said to Madi and Aikes: "You take this staff, if Bedi coughs, infuse magic or spiritual power."

  "What's with the spiritual power?" Maddy was puzzled, but he didn't bother to pursue it further.

  Chen Le asked with a few ordinary dressed soldiers: "Do you know who was bitten?"

  Several soldiers shook their heads.

  Chen Le sighed and said: "Since you don't know, it means Aegys doesn't want you to know, so you have to keep the things here confidential, do you understand?"

  Several soldiers nodded.

  Chen Le began to ask the main question: "Did you guys take a good look at what that serpent-like demon beast looks like? From the left side! I want details! Just tell me whatever is on that serpent-like demon beast's body!"

  The first person on the left was an archer, who stood up straight and said: "Lord Arthur, that lord was bitten by a red-bodied triangular-headed venomous snake. I remember that there was a yellow scale on the snake's body."

  "Has yellow scales on its body? Good, now there are only ten snakes left. Next one!"

  The second man was a gunner. He saluted and said, "Master Arthur, I remember that snake had some brown spots on its tail! Those spots were very dense!"

  "Are there dense brown spots on the tail? Great! There are three more snakes!" Chen Le felt a glimmer of hope.

  The last person was a warrior and also the closest person to Bedy, who witnessed Bedy being bitten throughout.

  "Lord Arthur, the snake-like demon's tail is curved! It's about thirty degrees or so."

  Chen Le thought for a moment and said: "Thirty degrees curvature? Alright, you guys go ahead, I'll think carefully about this. This matter is of great importance, remember not to mention what happened here."

  After the three men left, Chen Le began to guess what kind of snake it was. There were two possibilities for the remaining snakes: one was a cold-blooded venomous snake called a hook-tailed snake, and the other was a diurnal snake called a yellow-scaled snake.

  Suddenly, Chen Le thought of something and immediately understood what kind of snake had done it! He exclaimed loudly: "I'm really a bloody genius!"
