Verse 31: The truth about poisoning
Needle Jin looked around left and right, and saw that everyone's mood had stabilized, and the light of hope flashed in his eyes, and he was a little relieved.
Then, he ordered Huang Zao to command the group to start rebuilding the camp, and at the same time set up a cordon and laid defensive traps.
Inside the tent, needle gold, blue beard, purple pedicle, and blue-green algae gathered together again.
Cangsu was the first to speak, ashamed to admit his mistake: "This is all my fault! I didn't expect the goat's flesh and blood to be poisonous, and I blinded my reason for the immediate interests. When I find that the flock is too large, I should be aware of the oddity and be wary of the possible risks!"
Needle Gold shook his head slightly, relieved: "This island is dangerous and weird, we all want to get more food. It's not your fault, Mr. Aosu. As the leader, I am even more responsible. However, there is no value in dwelling on these mistakes now. Think about it, how do we solve this problem?"
Cang Xu sighed and said his opinion: "Now everyone has cold poison in their bodies, and this cold poison is very peculiar. On the surface, as long as you get away from here for a certain distance, the cold poison will attack. But in fact, I think it's because of the temperature. ”
"It's close to the snow peaks, the temperature is low, and the cold poison doesn't attack. After we turned away from the snowy peaks, the farther we went, the higher the temperature. After reaching a certain level, the cold poison on the body will be triggered. ”
When we take off the woollen coat, the temperature of the body drops rapidly, and the symptoms of cold poison are greatly reduced. ”
"That's all I know about Cold Poison. ”
After Cangsu finished speaking, his eyes turned to Zidi.
Not only him, but also needle gold and cyanobacteria all looked at Zidi.
In fact, everyone knows that the puzzle involves toxins, and Zidi, as a pharmacist, is the one who has the most say.
Since Zidi regained her mobility, she began to experiment with the potion using mutton, her own blood, etc.
At the moment, she is holding a glass test tube in her hand and is carefully pouring a particle into it.
The test tube originally contained a liquid similar to blood, but when the particles were fused, it suddenly seemed like water was boiling, and a large number of bubbles bubbled out.
Finally, with a soft bang, the entire test tube exploded directly.
The bright red liquid inside spilled onto the carpet in the tent.
Zidi didn't care about the liquid, she leaned down, her bright purple eyes widened, and carefully twisted the small particles on the carpet with her fingers.
After a dozen breaths, she collected a lot of particles and gathered them in the palm of her hand.
She scrutinized the tiny particles.
Immediately, she keenly noticed that various cracks appeared on these small particles, and these cracks were not transparent and simple cracks, but with a clean gray color.
Seeing this, Zidi's eyes lit up: "Everyone, I think I found the real reason. ”
"Oh, what kind of cold poison?" asked Needle Gold.
Zi Di shook her head slightly: "In fact, goat meat is not cold and poisonous. Before eating lamb, I have tested it in a variety of ways to be safe. The result is not wrong, the lamb is indeed non-toxic. ”
The crowd wondered, "So what's going on with us? Could it be something else that poisons us?"
Zidi shook her head again: "It's the problem caused by these goat meats." ”
The doubts on the faces of the needle gold and cyanobacteria were even thicker.
But Cang Xu had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and blurted out: "Could it be that the magic is out of balance?"
"Yes, that's why. Zidi sighed and explained in detail.
"It's close to the snow peaks, and the surrounding environment has a high concentration of frost elements. ”
"The goats live and thrive here, and the frost element in the air permeates their bodies. If these goats belong to natural creations, they can coordinate their magic and accumulate orderly magic in their bodies. As this stable mana accumulates more and more, it will become qualitatively condensed and form a magic crystal. ”
"But as we had guessed, these goats are all man-made, and although their flesh and blood are stable, they don't have the ability to coordinate magical power themselves. They are always protected by the Forbidden Spirit. ”
"The frost element in the goat's body cannot be digested and absorbed perfectly and naturally, and although it can be converted into magic, this magic is very chaotic and contradictory. Not only can it not form magic crystals, but it also has a property, that is, when the temperature is low, it is relatively stable and quietly lurks in the body. When the temperature is high to a certain level, it will suddenly erupt, forming symptoms similar to cold poison. ”
"I thought I was suffering from cold poison, so I took the antidote made by the fire elemental material, but the magic power of the fire attribute in the potion actually stimulated the magic of the ice attribute even more. Under the two conflicts, I fell unconscious on the spot. ”
Zidi paused and continued, "Because of this, after we took off our woolen leather coat, the temperature of our body dropped rapidly, so that the magic of the ice attribute tended to be stable and restrained, so our condition will improve quickly. ”
"I see. After listening to this analysis, everyone couldn't help but suddenly realize.
This kind of situation is actually very common in the practice of transcendent beings.
For example, when the mage was meditating, there was a mistake, and the ice element's mana transformation was not successful, and after eroding the whole body, it was cold poison in the body, and even the whole body was frozen in ice.
Dou Qi cultivators, such as martial artists, knights, swordsmen, etc., who eat demonic beast meat or take potions, but they can't digest the huge magic power in them, they will also form a backlash.
This phenomenon is more prevalent not only in the practitioners, but also in nature.
If you enter the desert in the middle of the day, you will have dry skin and even cracks, and you will feel sluggish. This is because the desert during the day is full of fire elements, light elements, etc., and the fish-people are immersed in such an environment, and they inevitably absorb the light and fire elements. These elements are not actively absorbed, but they form a magic force in the surface of the skin. When these spells clash with the water elemental magic built up in the fish-man's body, they will cause symptoms of dryness, cracking, and malaise.
In the Northland, a lush plane tree suddenly ushered in a snowstorm. After the blizzard, all the leaves of the plane trees fell, leaving only bare branches, and frostbite occurred in many places. This is the sudden explosion of the ice element, causing the erosion of magical power.
Correspondingly, there are many ways to combat the erosion of magic in nature.
For example, the green pine in the snow can maintain the stability of its wood magic in an environment with abundant ice elements.
For example, the rhinoceros in the savannah, in order to resist the scorching sun, often rolls in the mud to build mud armor to resist the scorching sun. It also prevents mosquito bites. This is to construct a layer of earth-based mana, replacing its own skin, and waging a war of attrition to defend against the erosion of mana from the outside world.
"Wait, according to Lady Zidi's explanation, aren't these mutton all good things? Demonic beast meat is an expensive cultivation resource!" "As a bronze elite at the grassroots level, Cyanoza is very sensitive to cultivation resources, and quickly exhaled.
Indeed, in the process of Dou Qi cultivation, there is a great demand for the flesh and blood of demonic beasts.
For example, people who practice fire fighting qi usually have to eat fire-attribute demonic beast meat.
On the one hand, Warcraft meat is rich in nutrients, and long-term consumption will enhance the cultivator's own life heritage.
On the other hand, the flesh of the Demon Beast contains the magic of the fire attribute. After the Douqi cultivator ate the flesh of the demonic beast, the magic power in the food also penetrated into the cultivator's body. If left unchecked, these alien powers can be harmful. However, when a cultivator runs the Fighting Qi Technique of the Fire System, he can quickly absorb and transform these magical powers, not only eliminating hidden dangers, but more importantly, allowing his Dou Qi to increase.
Hearing the words of Cyanobacteria, Cangsu nodded slightly and agreed: "According to what you said, there is indeed such a possibility. ”
"The difference between Warcraft meat and ordinary meat is whether it contains magical power. ”
"It's just that compared to normal Warcraft meat, the magic contained in these mutton is more special. When the temperature is very low, the magic is quite restrained, hidden deep in the body, and relatively stable. When the temperature is high to a certain level, the magic will show the chaotic nature, and the magic will burst out, causing a life-threatening threat to the person who eats it. ”
"If an ice-type Fighting Spirit is quite good and can withstand and transform these ice-based magic powers, then these goat meat are valuable Demon Beast meat to these people. ”
"It's just...... These people are not estimated to be many. Needle Gold looked thoughtful.
Dou Qi is a method of using Dou Qi as a form to build the coordination, balance, and circulation of magic in one's own body.
There are many fighting spirits, and the quality is uneven.
Excellent fighting spirit not only requires the talent of the pioneer, but also needs to be perfected from generation to generation. Those who occupy the top of the tower, and are recognized as the best fighting spirits, are very few in number, and they can be counted on ten fingers. For example, the Saint Ming Emperor's cultivation of the Saint Ming Dou Qi, the Ice Roar Duke's Polar Blizzard Fighting Qi, and the Blazing Fighting Qi of the Curved Sun Sword Saint.
The more excellent the Dou Qi technique, the more efficient it will be to absorb and transform the magic power in the flesh of the Demon Beast.
Under normal circumstances, the magic power in the flesh of the monster is relatively balanced and stable, and after processing, the speed of escape is not fast. These magical powers are easy to perceive and easily absorbed and transformed.
But goat meat is clearly not the norm.
Goats are not natural products on their own. The abundance of magic in their bodies far exceeds their life level. The structure in the goat flock is also chaotic, with the vast majority of them being ordinary beasts, and only a few are bronze-level lifeforms.
Continuing to dig deeper, once the magic power in the goat meat explodes, it can make the bronze-level cyanobacteria and yellow algae unable to move. But when they are silent and introverted, neither they can sense it, nor can it be felt by people such as needle gold, cyanobacteria, or purple di.
These two characteristics of the magic structure have raised the requirements of the ice system Dou Qi by a large margin.
