Chapter 568: Chapter 540: The Law of Detoxification

A deep, dark forest.

In these ancient and remote woods, encountering anything wouldn’t be surprising.

Because in such places, there are always too many things hidden away from the knowledge of mankind.

At this moment, Andy was rapidly moving through this forest.

In his hand, he was dragging the long and bizarre Red Moon, transforming into a gust of wind as he swiftly weaved through the trees.

Occasionally, some short-sighted animals took notice of him, and with a casual strike from Andy, they all turned into shriveled carcasses.

"According to the map, it should be just ahead," Andy said, looking at the map with a somewhat solemn gaze.

"Soon, very soon!"

Eventually, Andy stopped in front of a cave that looked quite ordinary.

Without much hesitation, he stepped in.

The cave seemed to be naturally formed, and around it, there lay many oddly shaped rocks.

However, these were not the focus.

What was truly chilling was the multitude of corpses that could be seen all the way into the cave.

Most of these corpses were of animals, and on occasion, human remains could also be seen.

However, it seemed due to the passage of time, these bodies had all turned into skeletons.

Walking over these skeletons, an uncontrollable look of excitement appeared on Andy’s face.

Finally, Andy reached the deepest part of the cave.

Seeing what lay before him, his eyes shone with brilliant light.

"It’s... it!"

Before Andy lay a dead wolf.

The bloodstains on the wolf hadn’t yet dried, and unidentified liquid mixed with blood kept dripping down from the carcass.

But this wasn’t what Andy was focusing on.

Andy was fixated on the black figure on the carcass that would frighten most people into immobility.

It was a centipede.

A pitch-black centipede.

But unlike ordinary centipedes, this one was much, much bigger.

Just its length was close to one meter, and its pitch-black scales emitted a metallic luster.

Excitement flashed in Andy’s eyes, and in the next instant, he lunged forward.

The Red Moon in his hand flashed with a cold light.

"Shhh—"

The black giant centipede let out a piercing scream before it could react.

"Squeak—"

The sharp sound was almost unbelievably emitted by an insect.

In this forest, it had always been a hunter.

And as a hunter, it had always stood at the apex, revered even by the rulers of the woods when facing it.

But today, it encountered an existence even more terrifying than itself.

The Red Moon pinned the centipede firmly to the ground, and as the giant centipede twisted frantically on the ground, Andy’s eyes were filled with ferocity and undeniable ecstasy.

"Soon! Success is within reach! King of the Netherworld, prepare to die!! Hahahaha!!"

...

After the previous events, everyone in the village had fallen into a state of weakness.

Fortunately, An Cheng had found a way to remove the toxin, which was to use the bodily fluids of Super Gu to make an antidote.

But after collecting all the Super Gu, An Cheng said somewhat helplessly to Li Chen, "Well... the fluids of these Super Gu are indeed for researching the antidote, it’s just that, because it’s unclear how the toxin of the Super Gu works, to formulate the antidote, if left to me alone, it might take two or three days..."

Hearing An Cheng’s words, Li Chen couldn’t help feeling a bit speechless.

Two or three days, what about these people then? Are they expected to just wait here for that long?

It wasn’t just the villagers that were affected; even those college students had been contaminated by the toxin, and now, after being woken up by people beside them, they had regained consciousness but remained too weak to move.

Hearing from the villagers how Li Chen had dealt with a group of men in black, their eyes lit up with admiration as they looked at Li Chen, and some of the girls even had stars in their eyes.

"So... what do we do now?" the group asked, looking helplessly at An Cheng.

If An Cheng couldn’t create the antidote, were all these people really going to lie in bed for days?

After all, in the entire village, only Li Chen and An Cheng were able to move. Were they expected to take care of everyone else?

Then what the hell is the point of their research...

"Forget it, I’ll think of a way myself," Li Chen shook his head.

"That’s right! Not only is Brother Cheen a martial arts expert, but he’s also a medical expert. Isn’t it Brother Cheen who woke Zhang Jing up when we arrived?"

"Brother Cheen must have a way!"

A group of college students started chattering excitedly.

"Don’t label me just yet," Li Chen looked at them helplessly: "I can’t say for sure that I have one hundred percent confidence, I can only try first."

With that, Li Chen stepped forward to the front of one person, placed his hand on the person’s chest, and his True Qi surged, causing a shockwave within the body.

"Pu!"

That person immediately spat out a mouthful of fresh blood tinged with a hint of green.

After spitting out the blood, the person’s complexion noticeably paled, but their body regained mobility and they slowly stood up.

"It’s really effective," Li Chen nodded to himself, secretly relieved that the poison wasn’t too deep in these people, and it hadn’t been inside their bodies for too long, so using True Qi to create a shockwave inside could still expel the toxins.

Seeing that the person had actually stood up, many looked at Li Chen as if they were looking at God himself.

"He really managed to..." One of the village elders looked at Li Chen, incredulous.

Li Chen himself not worried about Gu Poison was one thing, but to be able to so easily detoxify others was nothing short of miraculous in their eyes.

After all, they had never witnessed the wonders of True Qi before.

Next, Li Chen sought out several of the village elders: "With their help, you should be able to quickly develop an antidote, right?"

This sentence was addressed to An Cheng.

Seeing Li Chen’s actions, An Cheng roughly figured out Li Chen’s intention and nodded: "With their constraints, half a day’s time should be enough."

"Also, Xiuxiu is very skilled in researching medicines too, if she could help, maybe we could be even faster," An Cheng spoke up.

At this time, the other village elders also nodded in agreement: "Xiuxiu has been studying medicine since she was a little girl and indeed is a rare genius. If she helps, it could surely speed things up significantly."

Li Chen nodded, slightly surprised inside. He hadn’t expected An Xiu to be so capable.

"Where is she now?" Li Chen asked.

"She should be... in her room, I guess?" An Cheng replied hesitantly.

Li Chen nodded, and in the next moment, he ran towards An Xiu’s room.

At this time, the entire village was afflicted by the Super Gu’s poison, and Li Chen believed An Xiu was no exception. Therefore, he skipped the step of knocking and went straight through her door.

However, the moment Li Chen entered, he stopped dead in his tracks.

An Xiu was lying on her bed motionless.

But her eyes were open.

And what Li Chen found somewhat unbearable was that An Xiu was only wearing her underwear.

The presence of warm water indicated that An Xiu had been bathing just before.

It was just that, after the bath and before she could change, she had been stricken by the Super Gu’s poison.

"Brother Li Chen..." Seeing Li Chen burst in suddenly, An Xiu was so embarrassed she could barely speak.

"What do I do, I’m dying of embarrassment!!" An Xiu mentally screamed, but now she was indeed unable to move.

Although she didn’t know what was happening, she guessed something must have occurred outside.

"Uh..." Seeing An Xiu’s state, Li Chen also felt awkward, especially at a time like this...

Li Chen sighed helplessly but continued, "Enemies have attacked outside, and everyone in the village has been poisoned. I only have the power to help some people detoxify. Your father needs your help to research the antidote, so I came to find you."

After saying everything in one breath, Li Chen took a deep breath and began to carefully observe An Xiu’s expression.

He definitely didn’t want to be mistaken for a pervert for something like this. He was a man of pure heart.

Still a virgin today.

"What am I thinking all this nonsense for!" Li Chen vigorously shook his head.

At this moment, An Xiu’s complexion turned even more flushed as she looked at Li Chen, especially noticing that his gaze was locked on her body, she felt a growing heat over her.

"Then... Brother Li Chen, please come and detoxify me first," An Xiu said with a blush.

Perhaps due to her emotions being affected, An Xiu’s voice involuntarily became much more seductive. Hearing her voice, Li Chen couldn’t help but swallow.

Unlike Lin Yi, An Xiu’s skin was a healthy wheatish tone and extremely smooth. When Li Chen’s hand touched her chest, he could clearly feel the softness beneath the smooth surface.

"This girl really has it going on!" He mentally exclaimed as True Qi surged from his hand.

"Pu!"

An Xiu also spat out a small mouthful of green-tinged blood. Perhaps due to being in her room, she expelled far less poisoned blood than the others and looked much better after the detoxification.

After helping An Xiu detoxify, Li Chen immediately turned his head and thick-skinnedly said, "Xiuxiu, put on some clothes, don’t catch a cold!"

Then came the rustling sound of clothing, and while Li Chen was somewhat restless, An Xiu finally got dressed.

"Brother Li Chen, I’m ready, let’s hurry over," An Xiu urged.

"Okay!" Without another word, Li Chen scooped up An Xiu and dashed towards where An Cheng was located.
