Chapter 978: Chapter 239: Poisonous Chain Traps_2

Moore glanced up and down at his own boss, slightly confounded. He really couldn’t understand what could frighten his formidable boss into such a feeble state so suddenly.

"Oh? Have you already learned about the characteristics of ’Bloody Mary’ through other means?" Master Puskas was slightly surprised, astonished that Piegel, the Overlord, could accept this so quickly, as those who knew about "Bloody Mary" were very few: "Since you’ve heard of it, then I’ll make a long story short. If you want to control an unruly subordinate, ’Bloody Mary’ is the perfect thing for that—it’s simpler, more direct, and more effective than any mental control magic."

"My dear Richard, the extraction of ’Bloody Mary’ can rely on ’Pandora Rose’." Master Puskas gave a slight smile: "’Bloody Mary’ is not only purified through ’Pandora Rose’; it can also be extracted from a variety of plants such as coca leaves and Black Feather Cactus. The highest quality source of what can truly be called ’Bloody Mary’ comes from a type of mushroom known as ’Mary Phantom Mushroom.’ This large mushroom releases a red spore gas with strong hallucinogenic effects, and one hundred pounds of ’Mary Phantom Mushroom’ can yield about ten ounces of ’Bloody Mary’—that is the real Bloody Mary."

"Haha, which beast came up with this thing?" Liu Shock chuckled bitterly, shaking his head. Extracting around ten ounces of Bloody Mary from a hundred pounds of mushrooms was sheer boredom to him.

"Elves," interjected the Elder of Andulan.

"Elves?" Liu Shock was stunned.

"The Elves have always sought a refined lifestyle and supremely aesthetic pleasures; ’Bloody Mary’ provides a sensation of floating ecstasy unmatched by any sensory stimulation," the Elder of Andulan shook his head and gave a bitter smile: "The Elves did not deliberately create ’Bloody Mary’ to harm others. It is merely a byproduct of their excessive pursuit of personal pleasure."

"Strictly speaking, ’Bloody Mary’ extracted from ’Mary Phantom Mushroom’ only produces an extremely potent hallucinogenic effect after being mixed with blood through a series of biochemical reactions. This toxin doesn’t have rapid lethal properties; it is simply a strong addictive poison. However, due to this deeply malicious characteristic, similar to bone-gnawing maggots, calling it the most deadly poison on the Aegean Continent isn’t at all exaggerated," Master Puskas gestured as he made an additional explanation. "The most terrifying aspect is, because this hallucinogenic poison is a neutralizing type, it is essentially undiagnosable in the early stages. Even if detected during the early stages, it’s useless; once someone is exposed to this toxin, it is extremely difficult to eliminate—or rather, it’s impossible to eliminate..."

"This must have been about ten thousand years ago, right?" Liu Shock suddenly understood and guessed who had tampered with the little parrot and Moore.

"The Moore Blood Elves are the originators of ’Bloody Mary,’ and they were banished to the Underground World precisely for this reason," Elder Andulan shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands: "Ten thousand years ago, the prisoners banished to the Underground World consisted of the vilest villains from various races of the Aegean Continent. Compared to the lasciviously natured Dark Elves and the Beamon Valenbuer Clan’s batmen who feed on blood, the Blood Elves’s preference for drawing magic power from blood shouldn’t be summarily judged as villainous. The key issue was that ’Bloody Mary’ they created was simply too evil. Its immense addictiveness can easily turn a heroic figure into a complete scoundrel. Once anyone is afflicted with ’Bloody Mary,’ their dignity no longer exists; all that remains is selfishness. To achieve that illusory pleasure again, even a god would not hesitate to sell everything sellable."

"’Bloody Mary’ originates from the depths of the abyss. It’s a substance that governs desires, and its very essence must stem from demonic temptation," said Master Puskas, the atheist whose statements took on a religious hue because he felt only such a description was fitting.

"Lucky to have several members of the Dragon Clan and a Saint Chiao by my side, otherwise I really wouldn’t understand the subtleties here," Liu Shock scratched the back of his head, gently rubbing his ear with the ring on his right hand: "But there’s still something I don’t get, no matter what, ’Bloody Mary’ couldn’t just fly into the body out of nowhere, right? I’m puzzled now; how did ’Bloody Mary’ really get into the little parrot’s and Moore’s systems?"

"Could it be poisoned in the food?" Fat Luo frowned and asked in a broody tone.

"Nonsense!" As soon as Rodman spoke, two Hobbit Halfling chefs jumped three feet high. Each grabbed two shiny large kitchen knives and charged at Fat Luo, driving the recklessly speaking Mammoth Knife Saint to flee disgracefully.

"Rodman, you big-nosed old mucker, how dare you slander our chefs! From now on, you can gnaw raw potatoes with cold water, but don’t expect to touch our cooking!" The two Hobbit Halflings fiercely pointed at Fat Luo’s retreating figure, cursing wildly.
