Chapter 39, Drug Addiction

When Lines opened his eyes in a daze, he saw a starry night sky. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Unlike Noxus, which was cloudy, the sky of Crystal Marks had been restored to its original appearance after years of no crystal extraction, and might have been a good holiday destination without the terrible radiation and magical turbulence.

But Lines remembered that he had just been injected with Barraken's venom, and then he was unconscious after a bout of nausea.

Do you say that you are not dead?

"Yes, that's right, boy, you're dead now, and the guy with the bow and arrow will soon be coming to you with his own wolf. ”

A familiar voice rang in my ears, and Hadias's foul voice was always so iconic.

Hearing Hadias's words, Lines couldn't help but be startled, and as soon as his body moved, he felt that he was lying on someone else's back.

Bang!

Before Lines could say anything, he felt himself suddenly thrown to the ground.

"Just ...... This kid seems to have moved just now. ”

Lines opened his eyes in a daze, and found Caterina looking at him with a wary expression.

"Big ...... Miss, that ...... Did something happen?"

Tyrone next to him also noticed something strange at this time, and came up with a surprised face.

Lines ...... Are you still alive?"

Lines was also confused at this time, it stands to reason that he should be dead?

"Don't bother thinking, boy, you just need to know that it was Uncle Ben who saved your life again. ”

Hadias said proudly at this time.

"The liquid that entered your body is in a sense the blood of that monster, and if it weren't for my quick action to absorb it, you would have been sealed in crystal as a specimen like that monster by now. ”

At this time, Caterina seemed to finally accept the fact that Lines was not dead, but alive and well, put down the dagger, stepped forward and struck Lines on the head.

"Stinky boy, it looks like you really lack a lot of things, and I have to think about whether to throw you in this hellish place and drag us down. ”

"Miss, didn't you just ask me anxiously if he was still saved?"

Tyrone came up at this time out of place, and the words made Katerina's face turn red at once.

"Less...... Less nonsense, this servant has a lot to learn, and ...... Besides, if the Kekao family didn't sweep the floor......"

Looking at Caterina with a flushed face and making a lot of noise, Tyrone, who grew up watching Caterina since he was a child, naturally knew the temper of this eldest lady, and didn't say anything, but squatted down to check Lines's body and wounds.

"There are no lumps, and there are no bright spots on the surface of the body, not like there is any crystallization"

Tyrone muttered to himself and couldn't help but frown.

Each Barakan eats almost twice as much as a juvenile Baraken, and all of their excess energy is used to feed the tail to grow a crystal spike that symbolizes the Baraken warrior.

This crystal spike is extremely difficult to develop, and it takes decades for an adult baraken to condense one.

The poison contained on this crystal spike exceeded the knowledge of every alchemist on Valoran today, and those who were stabbed by this crystal spike would be infected with severe crystallization, and within a few seconds, their whole body would crystallize, turning into a large lump of crystal.

And what just pierced Lane was supposed to be the uncondensed spike of the mad Baraken.

Sensing that his life was imminent, this Baraken forcibly launched the crystal spike that was still liquid in his body, but for some reason, Rains, who was hit by this solution, looked like he was fine, which would make all the scientists in Valoran laugh.

"Lines, you're ...... now Is there anything uncomfortable?"

Looking at Lines in front of him, Tyrone asked tentatively.

It doesn't matter if you don't ask, after Tyrone asked, Lines suddenly felt a sense of hunger and thirst welling up in his heart.

Unlike the feeling of being hungry or thirsty, what Lines felt was a spiritual craving, like ...... Drug addiction in general.

At the thought of this, Lines shuddered.

Lines had seen a lot of victims of the Phantom Crystal Powder, and in the gloomy alleys of the slums of Noxus, he could often see scrawny figures sitting on the ground smirking.

They are all people who have been lured by local gangsters into taking the magic crystal powder and become addicted to drugs, they have been drained of their money by the gang, and they have been drained of their bodies, and they have been turned into a skin that can only wait to die in the alley.

"By the way, there's something I need to explain to you, boy. ”

At this moment, Hadias spoke as if suddenly remembered something.

"The venom you've just absorbed from the creature called Barakhan isn't unconditional, and you need to pay a little price for it, or rather...... Inherit a little habit. ”

What Hadias said Lane could no longer hear at this time, his heart was completely filled with hunger and thirst.

And Tyrone had already discovered Lines's abnormality at this time, and just wanted to reach out, but suddenly found that on the surface of Lines's body, a layer of crystals was slowly condensing.

"You now need to regularly absorb the magical energy of the crystals to satisfy your Barraken bloodline, and to put it bluntly, crystals are now as important to you as water and food. ”

Hadias said it lightly, but Lines couldn't take it anymore and cried out in pain.

"Crystals, crystals, give me magic crystals!"

Seeing this scene, Katerina and Tyrone looked at each other, not knowing what was happening at this time.

Tyrone reacted, taking out a runestone from his pocket - the currency was mixed with crystal powder, in a sense a low-purity magic crystal.

When Lines saw the rune stone in front of him, he suddenly had an uncontrollable desire in his heart, and picked it up, and then he felt a chill coming out of the rune stone in his hand, calming the hunger and thirst in his heart, and the whole person was like taking drugs, and slowly slumped to the ground.

Seeing this, Tyrone walked up and helped Lines up.

"Looks like something happened to you. ”

Lines nodded, not seeming to wake up from what he had just felt.

"I seem to ...... In the future, if you don't smoke crystals, you won't be able to survive. ”

"Drug addiction?"

Hearing this, Tyrone frowned.

Crystallization is often accompanied by strong psychedelic crystal dependence, also known as drug addiction, and in his opinion, Lines was lucky enough not to get it, but he was entangled in it

"Okay, okay, drug addiction has been earned compared to losing your life. ”

Caterina stepped forward at this point, carefully examined Lines's body, and after making sure that there was nothing unusual about him, she got up and picked up her luggage.

"It's just a little crystal, and the Quekao family can still pick it up. ”

Caterina knocked the tip of her shoe and pointed to a pit that had just been dug at her feet.

"Since it's okay, hurry up, the trick I left behind can't fool the tail behind, let's try to get rid of her before the crystal scars come out. ”

After saying that, Caterina picked up the burden and motioned for the two to go with her.

Lines recovered at this time, and followed, and suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the back door where Caterina had just taken his place, and another deep pit that was obviously dug by a man, and there was obviously a stone tablet standing next to the pit.

What's that for......
