Chapter 40: The Poisoner

The sun shone warmly on his face, and Ryuji reached out and gently scratched his face, trying to open his eyes.

He found himself lying on the top of the pyramid where he could get the sun, the corpse Naga guarding him with his weapon.

"What happened?"

Pressing his head with his hand, Liu Zhi couldn't help but ask.

Naga didn't speak, her free hand stretched forward, and a dried mushroom appeared in her hand.

"What is this?" Ryuji's eyes froze, and he already recognized what it was.

This is clearly the common poisonous mushroom reticulosporus boletus in the jungle, but this poisonous mushroom is generally poisoned when eaten, and he doesn't remember eating this kind of thing.

Took the reticulospori mushroom from Naga, the corpse soul, which was already dry and unshaped, but there would still be some spores scattered on it.

Twisting the spore powder with his hands, Ryuji fell into deep thought.

Then he seemed to remember something, "Corpse Soul Naga, you go and collect some more leaves of the kind I have eaten in the past few days." ”

Corpse Soul Naga glanced at Ryuji, didn't say anything, and went on like this.

Ryuji, on the other hand, took out his backpack with his backhand, turned out some of the poisons he had received from York, and carefully compared the difference between the reticulospori spores collected from York and the spores in his own hands.

After a while, Naga the corpse soul rushed back, and after throwing the leaves in her hand in front of Ryuji, she stood aside and re-entered the guard state with her long sword.

Ryuji found two stones, and he didn't care about whether they were clean or not, so he put the leaves brought back by Naga the Corpse Soul between the two stones, squeezed them vigorously into juice, and put them into a small bottle.

Looking at the green juice, Ryuji wondered how he had survived by eating this for the past few days.

While complaining secretly, Liu Zhi poured the spores of the reticulosporous porcini into it.

Before he could stir it, Ryuji saw a yellowish mist rise from the bottle, and under the sunlight, the mist instantly faded to the point that it was almost invisible.

【Ding! You have developed a poison formula, unnamed (rough, can be refined and upgraded): the main material of the formula, Boletus reticulospori spores*10g, bay leaf juice*50g, auxiliary materials: undetermined ......]

[Poison Effect: After inhalation, it will produce hallucinations, leading to the things that you want or fear the most, and dance wildly in the hallucination and die. 】

[Detected sub-apothecary upgrade tree promotion criteria: Apothecary (Poisoner, Herbalist, Potions Master) - Potions Master (Poison Expert, Herbalist, Potions Master).] 】

[Detection of the deputy-pharmacist branch poison pharmacist employment criteria: master 10 poison formulas (1/10), research poison recipes 3 copies (1/3), master extraordinary poison recipes 1 (0/1)]

Seeing this situation, Liu Zhi hurriedly closed the bottle, he already knew why he was attracted by a bright light, and ran over there.

At the same time, he also understood what he was going to do during this time.

If he can't find something suitable to learn in archaeology in the Golden City, can't he study it on his own?

The current situation pointed out a new way for Yanagi.

Poison may be another path to ascension for Ryuji.

Thinking of this, Ryuji excitedly took out all the poisons that York had collected, compared them with the past, and thought about what to do in order to make new poisons.

However, Ryuji soon found out speechlessly that he had no way to experiment any further, and in such a short period of time, he used up all the several poisons that York had collected.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Liu Zhi smiled awkwardly, he was not a professional mage, and he was not very good at research.

It seems that it is unreasonable to start with making poison in the first place, and everything should start with collecting poison.

With this thought, Liu Zhi walked around the woods, the kind of laurel leaves that can fill his stomach, but will neutralize with the spores of Boletus reticulum, Liu Zhi is no longer going to eat it, then he must also find edible plants near the trees in the Golden City, otherwise in a few days, he will starve to death here.

Carrying the death staff, Ryuji headed towards the northern district of the Golden City, which was considered the slum area of the original Golden City, and the people who lived here must not have a good life, they should be the kind of people who eat everything.

Nine times out of ten, the plants that grow here are edible.

The previous laurel leaves were also found here, and if it weren't for poisoning, this sweet leaf would be a good snack.

Until then, he had eaten several kinds of leaves here.

At that time, the leaves he selected looked like they were fat and tasted heavy.

This time it was different, and Yanoji was going to try all the leaf flavors.

While thinking, Liu Zhi picked a leaf and put it in his mouth, he has a wealth of knowledge of jungle survival and toxicity, and after picking the leaves, he has already determined that this thing is not poisonous.

He chewed the leaves very seriously, feeling the rough taste, and complained: "I'm a dignified mage, why do I have to eat leaves here, this taste is not good, with a little sour, if there is fish, it can be used as a seasoning, but it is a little difficult to eat directly." ”

After trying several plants with a relatively large number of them, Ryuji's eyes lit up, and he found that among the trees, there was actually a plant that had already borne fruit.

More than leaves, the fruit attracts Yanagiji's attention.

With a hard snort, he squirted out the leaves that were still chewing in his mouth, and ran quickly towards the big tree.

As he ran forward, Ryuji had already recognized what kind of tree it was, it was a fruit tree unique to the neighborhood, this fruit was a subspecies of coffee, but it was not coffee, there was no water in it, but the flesh had a very thick fat component, and it tasted like eating board by plate of wooden chocolate, hard and unpalatable.

But as long as you eat, you can get a lot of energy, enough calories for a normal person to maintain a day's activities.

Although this is not delicious, it is enough for Liu Zhi, with the fruit of this tree, he can support it here for more than ten days.

Quickly climbing up the tree, Ryuji picked it quickly, tossing it to the ground while looking around, hoping to find another one of these trees.

His efforts were not in vain, and after a while, Ryuji found that there was the same tree not far away.
