Chapter 214 Fighting Poison
Yi Shuihan is high above, and his sensory force is tracking the green poisonous insects along the tunnel. It would be great if he can save the bald guy and ask him to act as a tour guide. Now we need to see the situation before making any plans.

The bald guy is named Mario. He is a pharmacist apprentice in the fringe area of ​​human habitation on the devil star. More or less powerful poisons or strange creatures will be cultivated. The ugly man riding a fish is called Ginkgo Kiss of Death. People only remember this nickname but his original name has long been forgotten. It is really a pity that he can steal from Gook Kiss of Grim Reaper. A very dangerous thing.

Mario likes to challenge himself by nature, and he managed to steal twice.The first time Grim Reaper was refining a round of important potions, so I didn't have time to talk to this guy. Several old friends nearby have encountered this guy's patronage, so I know his name. Who wants to calculate the Poison Cliff Root Liquid every 20 days? This kid Huanhuan dared to come, Gook Kiss, the god of death, decided to use the poisonous insects.

The green poisonous insect crawled extremely fast in the tunnel, and could always detect the smell on Mario's body. After just 2 minutes, it had already found the target that was still crawling forward in the dark.

Mario's chest trembled violently, and he said in his heart, "No, the Grim Reaper must have released poison."

Although I don't know what the poison came from, I can guess that it must be very powerful, otherwise the Shiva worm would not be able to react so violently. The tunnel was dug in a hurry, the space was narrow, and it was extremely difficult to turn around.

Mario, with sensitive ears, almost heard the slight rustling sound behind him. It was important to save his life. He pulled a rope from his neck, and something was hanging on it. The shape is easily presented in the mind.The appearance of this thing is no different from that of a beetle, its body is stiff, its eight insect legs are tightly coiled, its mouthparts are hanging on a straw rope, its small eyes are like magnificent sapphires, its whole body is naturally dark green, and its breath is weak.

"It's all up to you." Afraid of being poisoned, Mario wiped the black line on his forehead with his thumb, then pressed it on the beetle, and threw it behind him without looking.

The beetle seemed to be alive, stretched its limbs, and rolled a meter away before standing upright.

The timing is just right, the green poisonous insect has just arrived, and it makes a "squeak" sound, and its small eyes are fixed on Shiva insect in the dark. Mario continues to crawl forward. If Shiva insect survives by chance, it will definitely return to its owner. If it dies, the loss this time will be huge.

He made a decisive decision and worked harder towards the exit. Mario heard the mournful chirping of Shiva insects.

That Shiva worm is not a great poison, and it is not at the same level as the green knotty poisonous insect. It is only very sensitive to the proximity of the poison, and it can be buried in the soil no matter how far away it is, but Mario forced it with the black line on his forehead. Its toxicity was comparable to that of the green poisonous insect. It flapped its wings and bit it apart. Unfortunately, it was defeated in the end and was dismembered after a short while. The green poisonous insect seemed to have not eaten meat for a long time, and it ate the corpse beautifully, so The chase slowed down a bit.

Mario has already exited the tunnel with two smacks. The exit is hidden in another cave on the wall of a ravine. There are more than a hundred caves nearby, and the caves are connected. Even if he is found by Grim Reaper, he can easily escape.

I didn’t have time to bury the entrance of the tunnel, so I hurriedly packed my luggage in the cave. I’ve settled here for half a month, so I put all my belongings here. All the items are also simple, and they are sorted into a large leather backpack. I went up and left, and my heart became more at ease. This big leather bag contains poisons, antidotes, and various powders accumulated since childhood. It is a tool for cleaning up poisonous insects. As long as the poisonous insects that come are not too powerful, they should be able to deal with them.

Even though he had some confidence in his heart, he didn't dare to stay. He put oil on his feet and shuttled between the caves. After a minute, he was already far away. At this time, the green poisonous insect poked out its body from the tunnel. "Sisi" called twice, and the short tentacles judged the direction in the air, spread the cicada wings and flew into the air, unexpectedly this thing has the ability to fly.

With the extension of Yi Shuihan's sensing power, he had already determined the position from the surface of the ground and followed the bald boy across the ravine, but his interest became more and more intense.

Mario threw some poisonous insect shells in the corner of the cave, and these shells were filled with fragrant bridle grass, which could cover up the breath and attract the attention of the poisonous insects.

Not at ease, he scattered pieces of scales casually, these are the scales of the False Shadow Snake, very rare, Mario was lucky enough to find a whole snake skin shed from the False Shadow Snake, and then grind the scales and store them, it is urgent now Well, knowing that Death God Goose Kiss is well-known among pharmacists, naturally it is not a false name, even if he has not seen the appearance of the poisonous insect that is chasing him, he has tried his best to escape.

The green poisonous insect was not attracted by the insect corpse in the corner at all, it flapped its thin wings a few times and was about to rush away when it suddenly became vigilant.

Fianying snakes are the natural enemies of most poisonous insects. It is extremely difficult to see them in ravines. They only live in abysses with a depth of tens of thousands of meters or even tens of thousands of meters. Therefore, Mario is very lucky to get the snake skin, and the origin of the green poisonous insects is also unknown. It's not easy, but after all, I realize that it is a family of natural enemies. Even though I don't know how to appear here, I have to guard against it.

After waiting for a while, there was no movement, and even the peculiar fishy smell of Feiying Snake could not be detected, why is this?

The green poisonous insect fluttered its wings cautiously and flew over, only to find that it was only a few scales that had fallen off the snake.

Along the way, Mario felt uneasy, as if there were two eyes staring at him, and he looked around carefully, but there was no one.This kid is worthy of dealing with poisonous insects all the year round, he has very sensitive senses, he can even smell a little smell change in the air, but Yi Shuihan's whole body is wrapped in an empty barrier, so he has no breath at all, and there is some air current when tracking Changes are inevitable, making the bald boy even more nervous.

The green poisonous insect's thin wings were folded under its belly, but it was a little tired after flying for so long. The knotty insect climbed on the cave wall and quickly moved towards the target.

Mario carried too many items on his back, which affected his walking speed. The black line on his forehead turned purple, and he had to stop when he was about to leave the chain cave, his eyes swept to the top of his head.

"Unfortunately, Ginkgo Kiss released this poison. If I'm not mistaken, it's the rumored worm. This thing can kill people in a matter of seconds. If it's not for an experienced pharmacist, it would be extremely difficult to deal with it." Not daring to move rashly, Mario's nails buckled inward, and scraped off a piece of gelatinous skin from the palm of his hand, which was usually well hidden, but it was only slightly bulging, and it turned out that there was a killer hidden underneath.

Under the small piece of skin was a drop of silver liquid, round in texture, covered by a transparent film so that it did not come into contact with the skin, and it was well hidden.

When the worm jumped down, the film covering the silver liquid melted quickly, and Mario's movements were also extremely fast, shooting the liquid into the air with his fingers, forming countless silver filaments to wrap around the poisonous worm.

The worm squeaked for a moment, and spit out five pale green spots from its mouthparts. When you look closely, each light spot is only the size of a needle nose. When it touches the silver thread, it turns into a poisonous cloud and dissolves each other. At that moment, the poisonous worm disappears. In the miserable green poisonous cloud, he couldn't get out for a while.

Looking at Yinsi with heartache, Mario didn't run away anymore. He took out a long dark clip from the package, wore a strange mask, and threw colorful powder into the air with shaking hands, and carefully He took out a golden box, paused for a moment, and opened the box. Inside was a circle of ancient Morgan seal carvings. In the center of the box was embedded a gemstone, which glowed in amber. I don't know what it was for.He took an antique lighter and started to heat the golden square box. Strange to say, the gemstone embedded in the center gradually melted and became a liquid that flowed into the surrounding ancient Chinese seal carvings.

The squirrel worm was too powerful, and it contained the poisonous cloud before Mario could make any further preparations. It didn't care about the colorful powder attached to the poisonous cloud, and it shot down with lightning, which was incredible fast.

"Oops, there is still one more process to go." Without thinking about using the long black clip, Mario flipped the square box down quickly with his eyesight, and suddenly there was a golden light on the ground, and bursts of fragrance permeated the surroundings, crackling. The sound spread far away, the golden square box shone brightly, and after a flash, pieces of golden mist evaporated.

Heart said: "Fortunately, it's finally finished."

The poisonous insects were almost invading Mario's mask, but he was drowsy from the aroma, and it was even worse when the golden mist dispersed. He stumbled and fell to the ground along Mario's body.Not daring to touch the insect's body, he took out some pink silk thread from his leather bag and poked it over. The bald guy was so dexterous that he even inserted dozens of times at a distance of half a meter to tie up the poisonous insect, only his head was exposed.

He took off the mask, let out a breath, the leaves he chewed in his mouth had already become rotten, spit it out, and took another piece, because he had just been exposed to poisonous insects, so he sprinkled white powder all over his body, and the powder turned into powder after a while Only then did Hei wipe it off, he was really a poisonous insect, he almost lost all his clothes after being touched a few times.

After tidying up the scene, the worm was bundled into a small box. Mario was smug. Although he lost a lot of items, the old ones did not go away and the new ones did not come. It is clear whether it is a male or a female, and if it lays eggs in the future, it will make a fortune, but this insect is quite rare, and it will take a long time to explore its habits, and I am afraid it will not be possible to use it.

I probed out of the hole to observe for a while, and found that there was no sign of the Grim Reaper's hook kiss, so I quickly jumped out, and fled, I really didn't dare to stay for a long time.

As he ran, Yi Shuihan naturally followed, thinking: I didn't expect this kid to have some skills, so worrying about him is for nothing.

Gook Kiss, God of Death, saw that the poisonous insects with him did not come back, and was anxious in his heart. He searched for clues and rushed all the way there. He was very surprised to find the scene where Mario took the poisonous insects and carefully identified it. But I can't make you feel free and easy. Although this scorpion is not a strange poison to me, it will definitely release two hundred poisonous eggs before the next coronal storm comes. It will be the medicine for the next round of medicine. There must be nothing to lose."

It was also Mario's luck that the worm was still a "pregnant woman". If it hadn't been for the gluttonous Shiva worm, his little life would have been gone if he had rushed a few steps.

The Grim Reaper chased after the fish riding a fish, and gradually penetrated into the vicinity of a human settlement. He snorted a few times, and the poisonous insects would feel the induction after staying with their owners for a long time. Moreover, every senior pharmacist would add some His own unique condiment, long-term consumption has a unique smell, even if it is sealed again, it can still transmit some odor molecules. It would be best if Mario had the ability to kill the worm, but it is extremely dangerous to bring it with him.

The human settlements are dilapidated, and most of the buildings are buried deep in the soil, with only a small door exposed. When you open the door, you can see the ladder leading to the ground.

Mario was familiar with driving, and entered an underground hut, even if Yi Shuihan didn't enter, he knew what was going on inside.

The bald boy yelled after entering the ground: "Sister, look at what brother brought you."

There is plenty of light in the room, and the insect oil lamp emits a faint blue flame. There is no smoky scene. The air is purified so that it smells fragrant, and the oxygen content is almost the same as that of a normal planet.

"Brother, you're finally back." Under the flickering lights, a girl with a petite body staggered towards her with a cane in one hand and smiled happily.

"Hehe, I've been here for more than half a month, and the little girl really misses her brother." After saying that, she picked up the little girl like a loving father.

"Brother, I'm so worried when I go out. Look at your beard growing again. I'll shave it off for you."

Mario couldn't bear to make his sister work hard, so he said with a smile, "My brother's beard is just for piercing little Kuntu, kiss."

The bald boy was completely relaxed, laughing and fighting with his sister.Thinking of the things I brought for my sister, I quickly took the backpack and rummaged through it. It was a string of colorful beads, so beautiful that little Kuntu's eyes widened in surprise.

"Brother, is this for me?"

"Of course, this is the inner bead in the sticky worm's body, but it is the most beautiful item in the surrounding area, and it has anti-virus effects, and it is also good for little Kuntu's legs!"

"Thank you, brother." The little girl couldn't help but look at her slender left leg. The skin there was shriveled and the blood was blocked, which was very ugly. Most of the reason why Mario went deep into the senior pharmacist's territory was to heal her sister's leg.

Seeing that my sister was sad about that leg again, she quickly joked: "I tell you good news, my brother caught a valuable guy this time, and it must be worth a lot of money when he goes to the city to sell it tomorrow, and then he can buy the needed equipment. and strengthening potions, my sister will definitely be able to throw away the crutches by then."

Little Kuntu was silent, nodded and said, "Brother must have worked hard, and I will become the greatest pharmacist of the human race when I grow up. I have been reading the notes left by my parents these days, but there are many things I don't know what they look like ,Pity."

Mario sighed and said, "Sister, brother will take good care of you."

At this moment, the Grim Reaper kissed him, and he shouted loudly: "Mario, come out, or I will poison all the people in this settlement, including you, and return my poisonous insects."

Hearing the sound, Mario was horrified. He had erased his tracks countless times on the road, but he was still found.The senior pharmacist really has some advantages, which cannot be dealt with by an apprentice like him.

"Sister, don't be afraid, hurry up and hide in the tunnel that brother dug in advance, and come down to accompany you after brother goes out to clean up the villains." Mario has always acted as a hero in front of his sister, and after thinking about it, he handed a manuscript to his sister and said : "This is brother's note, read more later."

Little Kuntu held the notebook tightly and cried, "Brother, are you okay?"

Mario scratched his bald head and laughed loudly: "Silly girl, why is there something wrong with my brother? Wait for me to come back." After speaking, he picked up his leather bag and walked up the ladder. Lianlian, and my sister must not be frightened.

"What's your name, isn't my young master coming out?"

Grim Reaper has already approached the door, seeing Mario come out with a leather bag, he laughed wildly and said, "You're kind, you got the poisonous bug, it's your job, if you can fight me for 10 minutes, I'll be the pharmacist." If you leave, I can come in and out of my territory at will, how about it?"

"Okay, that's the deal, but we have to leave this place to compete." Mario was afraid that it would affect his sister.

Death Goose nodded and said, "Okay. You choose a place."

Yi Shuihan looked curiously at the two people under his feet. The ugly big man's kiss of death could be considered as a leeway. He really didn't know what the competition between pharmacists would be like.

Mario chose a place, which was a low-lying land two kilometers away from the settlement, surrounded by many low ferns and patches of poisonous mushrooms.

"Come on." Mario calmed down. This is where he usually experiments with potions. The spores formed by those poisonous mushrooms are special. After self-improvement, they have become extremely poisonous. I believe it will be of great benefit in the competition.

"Hehe, a nice mushroom field." This little trick couldn't be concealed from the kiss of death, and he didn't point it out. Let's ask the other party to take advantage of it. In fact, Mario is very fond of him, and he has the intention of cherishing his talent invisibly.

As soon as the words were finished, the Grim Reaper flicked his sleeves repeatedly, and several clusters of poisonous orange flames appeared in the air, whistling towards him, startling Mario.

Whether we can resist this time is entirely up to God's will. It's too late and then it's too late. I took out a red yarn from the package and threw it over. After a block in mid-air, the poisonous flame has turned from orange to black, and it's coming continuously. , the already filthy air was covered with a layer of black smoke, and the stench was incomparable.

Mario was terrified, knowing that the poisonous fire was powerful, he touched the black line on his forehead in an instant, and shouted: "Go." A few balls of black air shot out, just colliding with the poisonous fire, and the poisonous fire was instantly wiped out, Roads of black smoke drifted away.

Death Goose kissed "Okay", rolled up his sleeves and said, "It was just a trial just now, be careful, the next chapter is the real story."
