The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 2978 Experimental Products

"Stop! Those venomous snakes aren't chasing us anymore, we're safe for now," Chen Mo shouted to the group after seeing that the red streak that had been chasing them had disappeared.

After the three women stopped, Ouyang Nan turned around and came to Chen Mo's side. She looked at Qian Zhenghao and asked him, "Amo, how is Qian Zhenghao?"

"It's alright now. I gave him an antidote pill, and he should be fine in a while." After saying that, he released the pressure point that had silenced him and then threw him on the ground.

Qian Zhenghao naturally heard Chen Mo's words and immediately felt relieved. He lay down on the ground and didn't get up, trying to calm his fear.

However, he had just been unable to make a sound, and his heart tightened again. He blurted out, "I'll talk..."

Hearing himself speak again, he breathed a sigh of relief, but his fear of Chen Mo only intensified. He hadn't expected this young man, a mere tenth-level expert in the Acquired Realm, to possess such abilities; it was truly unheard of.

You should know that the Qian family has several innate masters, but they have never heard of any innate master elder being able to restrict anyone's speech.

Therefore, Chen Mo's method of restricting his ability to make a sound made him even more awe-inspiring.

However, despite his awe, he still harbored a suppressed anger. He was no match for Chen Mo now, so he dared not do anything. But once he returned, he would definitely go to Elder Qian and say more about this guy, hoping to get revenge through his own elders.

He himself was only a martial artist at the eighth level of the Acquired Realm, so it was impossible for him to take revenge. Only his own Elder Qian Ying had the ability and strength to take revenge.

"Huh? What's going on? Didn't you say the poison had been neutralized? Why is my leg still numb and immobile, and I can't control it?" Qian Zhenghao was planning how to get his elders to deal with Chen Mo when he got back, but when he tried to get up, he found that he had lost control of his leg.

"Captain, Captain, my leg, the leg that was bitten, I can't control it, it feels very numb." Qian Zhenghao became anxious and shouted to Ouyang Nan.

There was nothing he could do. The bitten leg was numb, which meant the poison hadn't been neutralized; he was still poisoned. He didn't want to die, he really didn't want to die, so when he spoke, his voice was already choked with emotion.

"What happened?" Upon hearing this, Ouyang Nan immediately squatted down, pinched Qian Zhenghao's leg, and asked, "How do you feel?"

"No, no, is it because the toxins haven't been completely eliminated that I'm like this? Could it be..." Qian Zhenghao really didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Amo, what's wrong with Qian Zhenghao? Didn't you say the snake venom had been neutralized?" Ouyang Nan turned to Chen Mo and asked.

Chen Mo chuckled and glanced at Qian Zhenghao. He thought to himself, "As expected, if the Red Thread Fruit is taken, its detoxifying effect will be reduced. However, the toxins from the First Line Red Fruit should be neutralized."

After squatting down, Chen Mo lifted up Qian Zhenghao's clothes covering his legs. Hmm? Since this guy was wearing special mountaineering pants, the calves were quite narrow, so he couldn't push the pant legs up. Therefore, Chen Mo didn't delay and directly took out a dagger and cut open the pant legs up to the thighs.

The special mountaineering cage has functions such as warmth, cold protection, and moisture protection. It is made of special materials, so under normal circumstances, it would take some effort to cut it open. But for Chen Mo, it was as easy as cutting tofu.

With a casual flick of his wrist, the pants were already slashed open. Since the outer pants were already cut open, Chen Mo had nothing more to say and simply used the dagger to cut open the inner thermal underwear as well, finding the location of the bite.

This also makes it easier for him to observe the wound.

After all, although Chen Mo knew about the Red Thread Fruit and its detoxifying effects, these were things that Qingxuan Zhenren remembered, and he had never seen them with his own eyes. Therefore, after feeding Qian Zhenghao the Red Thread Fruit, he could observe it to see the detoxifying effect, or whether the Red Thread Fruit had the same detoxifying effect as he remembered.

Additionally, observe how long it takes for the red thread fruit to completely detoxify if it has detoxifying properties and is taken internally only.

Although I remember that after being bitten by a red thread tree, it might take the time it takes to drink two cups of tea to completely remove the toxins simply by taking the red thread fruit internally, these are all things from my memory. I've never seen it with my own eyes, so they don't really count.

Now that we have such a good experimental subject as Qian Zhenghao, why not make the most of him? Why do we need to find another one?
Two small, black holes were visible on Qian Zhenghao's calf where he had been bitten, with black blood slowly oozing out. Around the bite wounds, thin black lines extended towards his thigh.

However, these black lines are now slowly and gradually dissipating. Judging from the pace, it may take some time. This also indicates that the red thread fruit has good detoxifying effects; it can eliminate toxins in about half an hour after consumption.

The three women, including Ouyang Nan, also gathered around to examine the bite. Their recent experience had left them shaken, and without an antidote, how to continue their investigation would be a problem.

"How is it?" Ouyang Nan asked worriedly when she saw that Chen Mo was only observing and not speaking. Of course, she wasn't concerned about Qian Zhenghao; after all, he was a member of the Qian family, and his life or death wasn't really her concern. Accidental injuries or deaths during the exploration were something everyone could accept. Even if Qian Ying wanted to cause trouble, she wouldn't have an excuse.

What she was concerned about was that if the detoxification was ineffective, then she, Ouyang Ruoxi, and others, including Chen Mo, would be in danger.

"It's alright, the antidote fruit I just fed him is working. Look here, the black blood vessels are fading, but the fading is a bit slow, it may take about half an hour to completely disappear," Chen Mo said, pointing to the black blood vessels on his leg.

The three of them looked closely and indeed found that the black lines were slowly fading, and they all breathed a sigh of relief. If the poison could be neutralized, then there wasn't a major problem.

"Amo, if you can detoxify him, why is his leg still not reacting?" Ouyang Nan continued to ask.

"Oh, that's because this kind of detoxifying medicine is taken internally, so it takes a certain amount of time to detoxify, and the symptoms won't disappear during the detoxification process. The symptoms will only disappear after the detoxification is complete," Chen Mo said.

"That's good!" Qian Zhenghao suddenly felt that the sky had turned blue. Yes, although there was no sun in the sky of the small world, there was still a blue sky. From here, although you could only see a little bit through the gaps in the leaves, it still felt very nice.

At this moment, Ouyang Nan realized what was happening and asked, "Amo, are you very familiar with those poisonous snakes and the antidote?"

Chen Mo nodded and said, "Yes, I know. The venomous snake you just saw is called a 'One-Line Red'. It's not very big, about the size of a chopstick, and it's extremely venomous. If bitten, the person will die within ten breaths. Because it's as fast as lightning, most people can't avoid it. However, this venomous snake likes to eat a plant called 'Red Thread Fruit,' so if there's a 'One-Line Red', there will definitely be Red Thread Fruit nearby. And Red Thread Fruit can cure the venom of the 'One-Line Red'."

After saying that, he took out a red thread fruit and showed it to everyone.

"Is this the Red Thread Fruit?" Ouyang Nana took it and examined it closely. It was a fruit about the size of a soybean, with fine red lines on it; it was quite pretty.

"Yes, this is the Red Thread Fruit. Actually, when it comes to detoxification, the Red Thread Fruit should be taken internally and applied externally; that should make the detoxification effect faster," Chen Mo said.

"What? Then why did you..." Qian Zhenghao shouted immediately after hearing this.

But after Chen Mo glanced at her, she shut up immediately, only looking at him with some resentment.

"Why? We were just being chased by a bunch of top-tier heroes. Are we going to stop and give you fruit to apply externally and take internally?" Chen Mo asked.

"I, um, no. What I really wanted to say is that since there are no more venomous snakes now, why not use this fruit to apply it externally again? After all, it would be faster to detoxify, wouldn't it?" Qian Zhenghao stammered, unsure of what to say when he heard Chen Mo's question, and could only offer a forced and tactful explanation.

“Hehe, there’s no need. After all, internal consumption can detoxify, although it takes a little longer, and the symptoms will only disappear after detoxification. So, there’s no need to waste another Red Thread Fruit,” Chen Mo said.

For a moment, Qian Zhenghao was at a loss for words.

“Besides, I also want to see how long it takes for the Red Thread Fruit to detoxify when taken internally. After all, I’ve only heard of it before, but I’ve never seen it with my own eyes. Also, everyone else will be passing through here, and knowing the effects and process of the Red Thread Fruit’s detoxification will serve as a reference,” Chen Mo said.

The other three women nodded, agreeing with Chen Mo's assessment. Only Qian Zhenghao was truly heartbroken. He hadn't expected that a martial artist at the eighth level of the Acquired Realm, a powerful figure in his family, would now be reduced to a subject of experimentation. The thought was painful.

Looking at Chen Mo, the resentment in her heart was almost overflowing.

Chen Mo could naturally sense Qian Zhenghao's resentment, but he didn't care. He stood up and said, "Let's rest here for a bit and see if it will take half an hour to detoxify. Then we'll observe the effects."

“Okay.” Ouyang Nan nodded in agreement, but asked with some concern, “Rest is fine, but is it safe to stay here?”

Chen Mo said, "There shouldn't be any problem. The Red Thread Fruit has a very strong sense of territory and won't stray too far from the Red Thread Fruit plants. There are no Red Thread Fruit plants nearby, and the vegetation is relatively sparse, so it should be safe."

"That's good." Ouyang Nan nodded, gestured to Ouyang Nana and Ouyang Ruoxi, and walked over to sit down and rest, and have some water.

Chen Mo did not leave Qian Zhenghao's side, intending to carefully observe the black blood vessels on his legs and check the time to see if his deduction was correct.

As for Qian Zhenghao's wishes, they are not important.
