The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 3023 Hopeless

In the morning, before Chen Mo could check anything, some noise came from both the camps of the Han family and the Ouyang family.

"Amo, what happened over there?" Ouyang Ruoxi, who was inside the tent, unzipped her pants and peeked out, asking curiously.

Meanwhile, Ouyang Nan, who was standing next to him, also crawled out of the tent and looked towards the Ouyang family and the Han family, seemingly lost in thought.

"I don't know, shall we go and take a look together?" Chen Mo stood up and looked in that direction as well, wondering if Han Chengye and Ouyang Min were dead.
“Let’s go take a look,” Ouyang Nan said. After all, it was the Ouyang family’s territory. Although he had already given up on these people, it was still necessary to go and check if anything happened.

Yesterday, on her way back, she heard that Ouyang Min and Han Chengye were still unconscious from poisoning and had been taken back to their respective family residences. Now, with all this noise early in the morning, perhaps they've woken up?

The four of them didn't pack their luggage and went straight there without even washing up.

As they got closer, the four of them gradually realized what had happened.

Han Chengye and Ouyang Min were not dead, but due to the excessive toxins they had ingested the previous night, they were still unconscious in the morning. Therefore, the guards outside the tent opened the tent flap to check on them and see what was wrong and why they hadn't regained consciousness.

When they were brought back last night, I told them that they had taken honey and red thread fruit. They were still somewhat unconscious, but they should wake up in a while.

But by morning, there was still no feedback from the tent, so they decided to check on their elders to see what was going on.

Upon entering the tent, they discovered that their elder's face was dark, white foam was coming out of the corners of his mouth, and his whole body was stiff. His eyes were also tightly closed, but fortunately, after testing, there was still a slight breath coming from his nose.

Upon discovering this, they immediately went to report it to others, hoping someone would come and see what was going on.

As a result, after observation and various means, it was discovered that Ouyang Min and Han Chengye seemed to be on their last legs, barely hanging on, and who knows when they would just die.

This naturally caused an uproar between the two families.

Originally, when they were brought over at night, they were told that they would wake up after resting for a while, but now they are about to die. What's going on?
Besides, with honey and red thread fruit, how could such a situation occur?

Last night, the two martial artists who participated in the operation included not only Han Chengye and Ouyang Min, but also several others. Furthermore, during the mission, several people were poisoned, bitten by the Red Bees and the First Line Red Bees.

However, when they returned, the other poisoned individuals, apart from the two, were already standing there, accepting the honey distributed by Qian Wantong, and then happily returning to the temporary camp to cultivate.

However, the fact that Han Chengye and Ouyang Min are now facing imminent death naturally caused some uproar.

At that moment, Elders Qian Ying and Zhou Zixing also received the news and rushed over.

The two martial artists also put Han Chengye and Ouyang Min together, and everyone gathered around them, quietly discussing and exploring what was going on.

"Elder Qian, what's going on with these two?" When Elder Zhou came over, he saw Qian Ying squatting down beside the two, checking on their condition, so he stepped forward and asked using telepathy.

He didn't want other martial artists to hear if there was any problem, so it was safer to transmit the message.

Upon hearing Zhou Zixing's question, Qian Ying naturally understood that it was impossible to draw conclusions before the matter was fully understood. Therefore, she also used telepathy to say, "I'm not very clear either. Judging from their condition, it seems that they have been poisoned. But we clearly gave them red thread fruit and honey yesterday. How could this be the result?"

When Zhou Zixing heard that Qian Ying also couldn't make a judgment, he squatted down and began to observe carefully as well.

Upon discovering the two individuals' condition, it was truly difficult to say. They were now exhaling more than inhaling, but were not yet dead, still managing to breathe.

"Whether it's bee venom or the venom of the Red-lined Snake, many people in the team have been poisoned, but none of them have experienced the symptoms these two are in now. Could it be the venom of the Red-lined Snake or the Red-lined Bee?" Zhou Zixing transmitted his voice.

Qian Ying shook her head, indicating that she was unsure.

Since they couldn't understand it, they called over a martial artist in the group who was knowledgeable in medicine to make a diagnosis.

As a result, after examining them, the two medical personnel diagnosed them with poisoning. This was strange; since they had already taken an antidote, why were they still showing signs of poisoning?

Qian Ying couldn't figure out the reason, so she turned around and saw Chen Mo in the group. She then gestured to Qian Wantong, asking him to call Chen Mo over. After all, Chen Mo had told her about the characteristics of both the Red Bee and the One-Line Red Bee, and she also learned about the antidote from Chen Mo. So she wanted him to come and assess the situation of Han Chengye and Ouyang Min.

Upon hearing Qian Wantong's message, Chen Mo turned and gestured to Ouyang Ruoxi and the other two before following Qian Wantong over.

When the other martial artists saw Qian Wantong leading Chen Mo away, they began to discuss among themselves. Could it be that this guy named Li Mo was responsible for the situation of Han Chengye and Ouyang Min?

That can't be right. Han Chengye and Ouyang Min shouldn't have anything to do with Li Mo, right? Suddenly, the surrounding noise grew louder.

Hearing the sounds around him, Chen Mo frowned, went to Qian Ying's side, and said to him, "Elder Qian, please have someone remove these irrelevant people from the surrounding area so they don't linger and affect our judgment. Just leave a few relevant personnel at the scene."

Qian Ying also disliked being watched, so he gestured to Qian Wantong, telling him to drive the other martial artists away and go do what they were supposed to do. It wasn't like they had nothing to do so early in the morning, and all of them were just watching, like watching a monkey show, which was very annoying.

Qian Wantong immediately summoned a few people and ordered the Ouyang and Han families to leave a few people behind, while all the other martial artists were to leave and do what they were supposed to do, and not to crowd around.

Upon hearing this, the many martial artists could only slowly disperse, but the discussion continued, and some even continued to observe the situation from a distance.

“Li Mo, you should be the person here who knows the habits of the First-Line Red Bee and the Red Red Bee the best. Why don’t you come and see the situation of Han Chengye and Ouyang Min? After all, you participated in the operation last night, and you should know the details of how these two were poisoned. But why are they still like this even after taking the antidote?” Qian Ying asked Chen Mo.

Chen Mo nodded without speaking, then squatted down and pretended to observe, even pulling open their clothes to examine the bite marks and injuries. He thought to himself, 'Should I tell these two old men that they tried to harm me but ended up getting themselves killed? Their injuries are actually quite simple; I caused them.'

However, Chen Mo would not tell the two old men about these thoughts.

After pretending to look around and observe for a while, he stood up and said, "Elders, I really can't judge the situation of these two. After all, my understanding of Yixianhong and Hongchifeng comes from a book. I only saw Yixianhong and Hongchifeng here, and they recovered in time when others were poisoned. But the situation of these two is really..."

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Mo continued, "I believe the two of them are still suffering from poisoning."

“But these two have already taken the antidote. Especially when they came back, because they were unconscious, I had someone feed them again. They took twice the amount of antidote as others, so how come they are still poisoned?” Qian Wantong said with some disagreement when he heard this.

Chen Mo nodded and said, "That might be where the problem lies."

In his heart, he thought: 'You haven't experienced the Red Bee's stinger transforming into a tiny electric motor; that stinger pierces hundreds of times per second. And then there's the Red Thread Bee's fangs—I personally placed them on two people, and they immediately became jet-powered warriors after biting. If taking honey and Red Thread Fruit twice can cure the poison, that's truly laughable.'

Actually, the simplest and most direct way to save these two people is to administer royal jelly from red bees both internally and externally, and to give each of them two pills of red snake gall. This could potentially save them.

But how could Chen Mo possibly tell Qian Ying and the others about the rescue methods?
Last night, those two guys ambushed us. If it were anyone else, they would be in a similar situation to us now.

Therefore, both of them deserved to die, and there was no need to save them.

"What's the problem?" Qian Ying asked curiously. He wanted to learn more about things he didn't understand.

“I just examined their wounds. Not only were there multiple stings, but also several bite marks from the first line of red venomous fangs. So I judge that there was too much toxin in their bodies and too little antidote, which is why they ended up like this. Of course, this is just my personal guess, and it’s really hard to say whether this is the case,” Chen Mo said.

"Possibly!" Qian Ying agreed with Chen Mo's assessment, saying, "If we follow your judgment, is it still too late to give them more honey and red thread fruit now?"

Seeing the condition of Han Chengye and Ouyang Min, everyone had the same conclusion: it might be too late to take the antidote now.

Chen Mo shook his head and said, "It may be too late. The two of them are already on the verge of death. If they take the medicine, it will be the best they can do."

Qian Ying nodded, agreeing with Chen Mo's point of view. She hesitated slightly, but then said to Qian Wantong again, "Give Ouyang Min and Han Chengye a bottle of honey each, apply honey to their wounds, and give them some red thread fruit. Let's try to save them."

Before Qian Wantong could say anything more, Qian Ying said again, "There are plenty of red thread fruits. As for honey, the two of them should each have seven bottles. Go on."

Qian Wantong naturally nodded in agreement and turned to get the honey. He had placed the honey for Han Chengye and Ouyang Min, and he had to be the one to retrieve it. Fortunately, the distance wasn't far, and the round trip wouldn't take long.
