The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 235 - 143: Strong Acid Demon Spider_2

"So decisive, cutting off her leg the moment it was splattered with strong acidic venom?"

Ye Hanjun remarked, casually picking up a wooden stick from the table.

The stick was only as thick as a finger and as long as a chopstick.

Using it to gently lift a piece of dressing, he could carefully observe the changes in the wound.

"It’s a pity that we were still a step too late, some scattered venom splashed onto other parts of her skin."

"Just a tiny bit, yet it turned into her death sentence?"

"You have sharp eyes."

Qin Hou’s serious face seemed capable of dripping water:

"Our village chief went up the mountain yesterday, if he could find an antidote in the form of spiritual medicine, it might give this child a chance to live."

"But he has not returned yet, if you are able to alleviate, delay, or treat... our entire village will remember this kindness, and provide you with as much assistance as we can."

Ye Hanjun shook his head:

"The venom has penetrated her organs, she has at most one hour left to live."

"Yu!"

Aunt Lin, with a mourning expression, seemed unable to bear such a death sentence, she stumbled and sat on the ground, tears unstoppable.

"I do not have the ability to save her," Ye Hanjun’s complexion was as usual, "but I can try to delay for a couple of days."

"Then we’ll have to trouble you, sir."

Qin Hou’s gaze shifted, unexpectedly changing his honorific address.

"Remind you, even if your village chief can find valuable medicine to reduce her toxins"

"Barely surviving, her vitality will be greatly damaged, living to twenty or thirty years... is already the absolute limit."

"We understand that."

Qin Hou suppressed a sigh of frustration, he couldn’t resist urging:

"Please do your best, sir."

"If you need our help, just tell us."

"Get me a separate stone house, the quieter the better."

Ye Hanjun nodded, unceremoniously.

...

Without any obstacles, Ye Hanjun obtained a twenty-square-meter stone house.

Closing the window, pulling up the animal skin curtains, he rummaged through the medicine basket provided by Qin Qiu, picking out a few usable herbs.

Then, his palm reached into the dimensional space bag, taking out a Heart-Protecting Pill and a two-hundred-year-old Water Spirit Grass.

Frankly speaking, poison resistance was also Ye Hanjun’s weakness, so he naturally had to prepare a sufficient amount of antidotes when he went hunting.

But the key issue was that the little girl was too young.

If Renwo Kuang were to be subjected to the strong acid spider poison of the Rainbow Light level, as long as it was not poured directly into his eyes, his body could even withstand it, it’s unlikely to endanger his life.

The little girl couldn’t.

She had persisted till now with the body of a mortal, with all her organs failing.

To return to a healthy state, the cost needed is not of the same magnitude.

All Ye Hanjun could do was to formulate a more useful dressing, and then use this expensive Heart-Protecting Pill to keep her alive.

As for whether the village chief could find an antidote, whether he could return within two or three days... that was not something he should consider.

...

After ten minutes, Ye Hanjun returned to the first stone house with a bowl of viscous blue paste.

He first made the little girl swallow the pill, then he scraped off the original herbs, and applied his own concoction.

Aunt Lin and Qin Qiu were watching nervously.

After waiting patiently for a few minutes, the little girl’s breathing became slightly steady, and surprisingly she stopped vomiting blood.

After a while, her naive little face relaxed, and she began to transition from shallow sleep to a deep coma, at least she no longer seemed to be tormented by immense pain on the surface.

"It’s done." Ye Hanjun confirmed, "Her vital signs should remain stable for two days."

"But starting on the third day, it’s all up to fate, it depends entirely on how long her will to live can hold on..."

"Thank you, sir!"

Qin Hou bowed, Aunt Lin also gave her gratitude with teary eyes.

Thus, after leaving the stone house, before Ye Hanjun could speak, Qin Hou took the initiative to ask:

"Are you interested in Chaos Burial Mountain?"

"To be precise, I am interested in the Fond Spirit ecology on the mountain."

Ye Hanjun said with a faint smile, "The number of demon type Fond Spirits in Giant Frog Marsh is very few, if I can collect some samples here, or capture some alive, it would greatly contribute to my research."

"If that’s the case, I honestly suggest that you should not go up the mountain."

Qin Hou sincerely said: "We didn’t originally have the Strong Acid Spiders here, but one day, this insect type Fond Spirit suddenly appeared on the mountain."

"We’ve tried many ways to exterminate it, but all have returned in vain."

"In the end, we could only watch helplessly as they continued to multiply, their numbers growing more and more, their ranks becoming stronger and stronger."

"Up to this day, the Clay Body and Rainbow Light level Strong Acid Spiders are as numerous as cow’s hair."

"We even suspect that a Jade Infant level Strong Acid Spider King has appeared on the mountain, having become a lord-like ruler, subtly changing the overall ecological balance..."

Pause for a moment, Qin Hou sighed helplessly:

"These changes have made us dare not easily go up the mountain, we rely more on the power of the old village chief."

"But the village chief is old after all, the village has discussed the matter of relocation more than once, it won’t be long before we leave here, leave this ’hometown’ that has lingered for hundreds of years..."

"Since the Strong Acid Spiders are gradually becoming the hegemon of Chaos Burial Mountain."

"What about the undead and demons... What is their situation?"

Ye Hanjun pondered for a while before asking seriously.

"Although they have not been exterminated, their number and types are indeed decreasing."
