Chapter 360: Chapter 244 Poisoning

Ten meters, if placed on a flat surface, doesn’t seem like much—it’s just the distance of four or five standing long jumps.

However, when you convert it to height, the sensation it provides is completely different.

In movies, the immensely huge Tyrannosaurus Rex is actually only about three to four meters tall, and humans appear like toys in front of it.

Now this vine, standing upright at over ten meters tall, is almost as high as three Tyrannosaurus Rexes combined.

In this environment, it truly wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it a monster.

Chu Liang was pushed by Zhang Xiaoman and fell to the ground, initially bewildered.

It wasn’t until he saw the terrifying giant vine behind him that he suddenly realized what was happening and let out a scream before scrambling to his feet and running away as fast as he could.

Zhang Xiaoman’s actions were even quicker—he had already stood up and was dragging Lin Sisi away from the vine’s potential attack range.

However, they couldn’t run any further from this point on because the crowd had already congested together again, blocking the path.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

A series of intense whooshing noises came as the huge vine swung in the air a couple of times before suddenly sweeping across the surrounding area.

Seeing this, everyone started shouting and scrambling to get away.

Just from the terrifying sound alone, one could guess that being hit by it would have unimaginable consequences.

Fortunately, the vine was ultimately limited in length, and since there were no people in its range anymore, and it was fixed to the ground and unable to move directly, these few sweeps didn’t cause any casualties.

In the distance, the police had also noticed the commotion here.

It couldn’t be helped; the vine’s huge form stood out sharply, impossible to miss.

They clearly already knew about certain things before arriving, and now, suddenly encountering this situation, they didn’t panic too much and immediately responded, running towards the center of the incident.

"Command center, command center, this is Squad Seven, located at No. 24 Jiangnan Road, we have a monster attack, please send immediate support! Please send immediate support!"

Within the crowd, a young police officer in a black SWAT uniform was reporting the situation through his walkie-talkie while he and his brothers faced the panicking crowd heading in the direction of the vine.

This group was all armed with guns. It was clearly their first time experiencing such a situation, and although they were afraid, the responsibility they bore compelled them to be at the forefront of the charge.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaoman had already taken Lin Sisi to a spot about thirty meters from the vine, ensuring they were temporarily safe from attack before stopping.

Observing the scene before him, he knew the situation was tricky; it would take some time for the police to push through.

After all, there were too many people around, and everyone was running outwards, undoubtedly severely impeding their speed.

However, Zhang Xiaoman felt that even if they managed to get here smoothly, it might not be very effective, as the vine was tall but only as thick as a bowl.

This diameter would be considered exaggerated under normal circumstances, but asking the police to shoot from a distance in such a densely populated area would certainly be difficult.

And now, the uncertainty was that they didn’t know how many more vines there were, or whether they might retreat back into the ground and launch a stealth attack from below, which was the most troublesome part.

As Zhang Xiaoman was considering how to respond, he suddenly heard a cry of pain from Lin Sisi beside him.

He quickly turned his head and saw the young girl clutching her arm, blood continuously seeping through her fingers.

"Uh... uh... it hurts so much..."

Lin Sisi bit her teeth hard, struggling not to let out any sound.

The little prize box she had been clutching had disappeared somewhere, and her lips were devoid of color, even slightly tinged with purple.

Zhang Xiaoman’s heart suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly examined the girl’s wound.

It turned out that Lin Sisi hadn’t been able to completely avoid the vine’s attack just now, and her arm had been deeply slashed by the plant’s spikes.

"Sisi, don’t be afraid, I have a Four-leaf Flower here, let’s get to this place first," he said.

Zhang Xiaoman forcefully made his way through the crowd, pulling Lin Sisi to sit by the nearest wall, and immediately exchanged for a Four-leaf Flower from the System Store and handed it to her.

The girl’s arm was severely wounded, already soaked with blood in just a moment, and with the crowded place, he simply didn’t have time to take her to the hospital for treatment.

Fortunately, after these days of lottery draws, he had accumulated 11 points, which was enough to exchange for a Four-leaf Flower.

Zhang Xiaoman no longer cared if there were people around, all he could think about was to heal Lin Sisi quickly; otherwise, if she lost too much blood and couldn’t speak, it would be too late for everything.

Fortunately, the attention of the people around was not here; they were either frantically running for their lives or focusing on whether the monster behind them was catching up, and nobody had seen his actions just now.

Lin Sisi was clearly familiar with the Four-leaf Flower, and she immediately ate it despite the pain.

As the Four-leaf Flower was ingested, the girl’s complexion returned to normal, and the ghastly wound on her arm began to heal at a rate visible to the naked eye. In just a few breaths, it appeared to be completely restored.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoman finally breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the girl’s gradually flushing complexion, he thought to himself that the Four-leaf Flower was indeed powerful; in a crisis, it was much more useful than a Baozi.

"How do you feel? Are you feeling better?"

Lin Sisi nodded, trying to push herself up, but halfway through the movement, she suddenly paused and fell back to the ground.

"I... I feel so uncomfortable... so cold..."

Lin Sisi began to shiver, and Zhang Xiaoman noticed that the trace of purple on the girl’s lips was becoming increasingly intense.

This discovery made his heart skip a beat.

"Could it be, it’s not just excessive blood loss? This looks like... poisoning...?"

Zhang Xiaoman broke out in a cold sweat; the Four-leaf Flower might be magically effective, but it was only for healing wounds and absolutely not for detoxifying!

"So... so cold..."

At this time, Lin Sisi was starting to become delirious, her complexion was getting paler, and it seemed as if her life force was fast slipping away.

"Damn it! How can that thing have such strong poison! No, I must find a way... quickly, come on!"

Seeing the girl’s condition, Zhang Xiaoman felt an immense sense of urgency. He was desperately searching for a solution.

System Store, Skills, Dark Energy Technique, even the Gang Store, he recalled them all one by one, but still couldn’t find any item for detoxification.

"Damn! How can this be, with so many items I have, how come there’s not a single one that can detoxify! No, there must still be a way, calm down, calm down, think carefully..."
