Xinghe, who had sorted out his mood a little, quickly stood in front of the last door in the corridor, and the lock on the door was the same as the previous doors, and it was not complicated.

After hearing the crisp sound coming from the lock cylinder, Xinghe put away his tools and pushed the door open, a strong smell of medicinal herbs came to his face, he and Kayla looked at each other, nodded, and finally found the right place.

The flowing blue flame in the wooden cup in the center of the room only ensured minimal illumination, and Xinghe didn't like the gloomy feeling.

The four walls of the room had been converted into bookshelves, filled with books, and directly under the bookshelves in front of them was a huge workbench filled with bottles and jars.

Xinghe stepped forward and picked up a few jars of things, although they were all marked with neat handwriting, but most of the words on them he didn't recognize, and Hedong had told him that there were many languages to learn for a spellcaster, but he didn't have a chance to teach them all to him.

"Are these antidotes?" asked Kayla, picking up a small brown bottle filled with liquid.

"I don't think so. Xinghe glanced at the bottle, and the label of the bottle said Giant Spider Venom.

"And what about this?" Kayla picked up another bottle.

"I don't know. ”

"Where's this?"

"I don't know. ”

"This, and ...... That?"

“......”

Kayla picked up one bottle after another and asked Xinghe what was inside, at first she was still waiting for Xinghe to answer, but in the end, she just picked up one bottle after another with liquid and put it in front of her eyes to look at it, but she was just an ordinary human girl, she had never been exposed to this kind of thing, and it was impossible to read those words that even Xinghe didn't understand.

"Xinghe, it's useless, there are no clues here at all. Finally, she put down all the bottles and cans, propped her hands on the counter, lowered her head, and her back shook uncontrollably.

Xinghe walked up and patted her on the back, "Don't worry, there will be clues." ”

Kayla pushed his hand away, "Of course you're not in a hurry, you're not poisoned!"

The two met each other's eyes at this moment, the tips of their noses were only a finger apart, and Xinghe could clearly see the beads of sweat on the tip of her nose, the fear in her eyes, and her slightly undulating body due to irregular breathing.

Xinghe was a little at a loss, he was silent for a while, and then said, "Yes, I wasn't poisoned, but I'm as anxious as you, really." ”

Kayla took a step back, propped her left hand on the countertop, and used her right hand to pick up her dangling bangs, "I'm sorry." ”

Xinghe spread his hands and signaled that it was okay, Kayla stared at him for two seconds and asked, "Is it Lanyue?"

"No, it's Anton, he took a big bite. Xinghe replied as he surveyed the room as he began to remember what Saint had said to him, if it wasn't a hallucination.

Lloyd obeyed the Holy Order, he had been training these children for the Holy for a long time, so he would not poison them for no reason, this was a test, just like the first time they woke up in the dungeon, the difference was that this time it was more difficult and more people would die.

But correspondingly, there must be a clue to the detoxification in this building, and before the poison occurs, they have time to find this clue and get the antidote, and at the same time, in order to play the role of screening, this time may not be sufficient.

The foundation is the most important thing, and the saint has given him such a reminder.

Xinghe rubbed his temples and asked casually, "Kayla, what do you think is the foundation?"

Kayla tilted her head for some reason, "Foundation, what foundation?"

What basis?Xinghe bit his index finger and frowned.

They need an antidote, either they can find a ready-made antidote, or they have to make their own antidote, so what is the basis for configuring the antidote?

The answer is the recipe of the antidote, and the more basic thing is the knowledge of dispensing.

Yes, knowledge. Xinghe's brow gradually relaxed, people often say that books are carriers of knowledge, and these books have what they are looking for.

"Kayla, find all the books on medicine. ”

"All of them?"

"Yes, you start from that side, and I start from this side. Xinghe said and threw himself into the work, Sheng's collection of books is very rich, not to mention hundreds of volumes, but thanks to Shengyou's good sorting and categorization, Xinghe's work will not be too difficult.

When Galaxy climbed onto the bookshelf and took down a book called "Toxicity Analysis of Common Plants", Kayla screamed, nearly causing him to fall.

"Xinghe, look, there's something in this book. Kayla ran over with a book in her arms.

Xinghe jumped down from the bookshelf and leaned up, it was a piece of parchment, written on both sides, Xinghe took it to his hand and looked at it carefully, this is a recipe, the front of the paper records a lot of medicinal materials and dosage and usage, and also marked in detail the effects of all medicinal materials, one of which caught Xinghe's attention, 10 grams of belladonna juice, used to produce hallucinations and photophobia.

On the back of the parchment is another recipe, which is also very detailed, Xinghe carefully compared the annotations on the back of various medicinal materials, and found that it is the antidote to the previous recipe, he quickly glanced at the name of the book with the parchment, "Fundamentals of Potions".

It's as simple as that?

Xinghe felt a little incredulous, he carefully compared the prescriptions on the front and back of the parchment, they were indeed a poison and an antidote, in order to confirm, he also deliberately compared the effect of the herbs recorded on the prescription with a copy of the "Illustrated Book of Medicinal Herbs" he found, and found nothing wrong.

"What's wrong with you?" Kayla, who was standing on the side, looked at Xinghe and flipped through the book, compared again, and asked.

"I think we've found an antidote. Xinghe looked up at Kayla.

"Have you found the cure?"

The sudden sound at the door startled Xinghe and Kayla, Xinghe hurriedly stuffed the parchment behind him, and after seeing that it was not Lloyd but a few children standing at the door, Xinghe breathed a sigh of relief, "It's just the recipe for the antidote." ", he told them.

"Show me the recipe. Leviathan walked out from behind, the line of sight here was not very good, Xinghe didn't notice him just now, when he was in the dungeon before, he used magic to take out the things that were blocked in the lock cylinder, which means that his knowledge of magic is at least stronger than his own.

"You can dispense medicine?" Xinghe didn't hide it, and handed him the parchment.

Leviathan took the parchment and bit the nail of his thumb for a moment, "Understand a little, this recipe doesn't look very difficult. ”

"Can you match it?" Kayla's eyes sparkled strangely, not only her, but also the children standing in the doorway of the room staring at him with fiery eyes.

Leviathan nodded, "There should be all in the material storage room above, and the pot in the kitchen can be used to dispense medicine." ”

"Then let's go. Xinghe casually took the parchment from Leviathan's hand, not noticing the subtle expression on his face, and without pause, led the children along the same path, climbing the rope back to the hall on the first floor.

Anton's condition also seemed much better, standing in the middle of the hall with Arazuki, and when they saw Xinghe coming down, they immediately came up.

"Brother, how is it, did you find anything?" Lan Yue grabbed his arm, looking a little excited.

"Well, I've found the recipe for the antidote, now I just need to dispense the medicine. Xinghe nodded, his tone was very ordinary, not deliberately lowered, so many children heard it, but Xinghe didn't intend to hide it, so when they stood in front of the door of the storage room, almost all the children had already gathered.

According to Leviathan's request, the children moved out the cauldron that Lloyd used to cook in the kitchen, and according to the requirements of the prescription, the division of labor in the storage room to find the needed materials, in order to avoid mistakes, Xinghe deliberately went to the third floor to bring the "Medicinal Herb Illustrated" to everyone for comparison, with the joint efforts of many children, the collection of materials went very smoothly, this time the test seemed to be able to pass so smoothly, the previous sense of uneasiness was probably just an illusion, Xinghe thought.

As Leviathan threw another ingredient into the pot according to the recipe, the soup in the pot suddenly changed color, and at the same time, a somewhat pungent medicinal smell wafted out, making the Leviathan who was grabbing the next medicinal material pause, he covered his nose with one hand, frowned and looked at the children who were full of expectations in the watery eyes around him, "Can you all spread some of it, this smell is really bad!"

"Okay, let's all spread out and give him some space!" Xinghe began to act as Leviathan's assistant, helping him disperse the children blocked here, "Such a big cauldron, everyone must be able to get a share, everyone retreat a little, don't be stuck here!"

Under Xinghe's persuasion, although the children reluctantly looked at the cauldron, they still cooperated and retreated, and then Xinghe walked towards the Leviathan, who was dispensing medicine, to see how he was doing.

When he was about to walk to the edge of the pot, Xinghe caught a glimpse of Leviathan's left hand secretly throwing something into the flames at the bottom of the pot, and Xinghe, who was puzzled, walked up quickly and found that it was actually the parchment with the prescription written on it, he didn't have time to think about it, and he didn't care about the danger of being burned, so he snatched the parchment out of the fire.

"What are you doing?" Xinghe shouted at Leviathan with a large piece of blackened parchment, and Leviathan behaved quite unusually, carrying a cloth bag into the boiling potion that was jumping as if it had come to life. He stared at Xinghe very vigilantly, without saying a word, Xinghe stared at him for a few seconds, and found that he was not only vigilant against himself, but also against all the children behind him.

Suddenly, the thick color of the potion changed, and Leviathan's expression softened slightly.

His unusual performance forced Xinghe to look down at the already somewhat vague recipe, the last line of which said to put the dragon heart fruit in after the potion boiled, and take it out after the potion faded.

The prescription stopped here, and it didn't seem that there was any problem, Xinghe raised his head and looked at the medicinal soup that had gradually become close to transparent, as well as the cloth bag containing the dragon heart fruit soaked in the medicinal soup, and suddenly he figured it out, he asked in a somewhat trembling voice: "The antidote is not these medicinal soups, but the dragon heart fruits that have been soaked in the medicinal soup .......?"

Xinghe finally understood where the trap left by St. and Lloyd was, the antidote formula was not the key, the real key thing was the dragon heart fruit, the bag of dragon heart fruit was found by him and Lan Yue together, he clearly knew that there were only about fifty or sixty dragon heart fruits in it, and this number was far less than the number of poisoned children, and even one for two people was not enough.

This is the real test, Xinghe finally figured it out, but he also found that he knew it too late, Leviathan did not answer Xinghe's question, but what Xinghe asked just now was heard by some children, and they also figured out what was going on when they saw the cloth bag that Leviathan was clutching tightly, so soon, the cauldron was full of children again, and they all stared at the cloth bag in Leviathan's hand.

"Calm down, everybody! Xinghe shouted, using those words that he didn't believe to reassure everyone, but as you can imagine, it didn't work at all, there was a heavy breathing sound everywhere, this oppressive atmosphere almost made Xinghe gasp, and his sideburns were already covered with sweat.

"Don't worry, everyone, let's look for it again, there must be a missing dragon heart fruit. Xinghe shouted, but this sentence finally had some effect, and there was a sound of rustling in the crowd, and some people even turned around and began to rummage through the contents of the storage room.

Xinghe breathed a sigh of relief, and things seemed to ease a little. However, before he could wipe the sweat off his forehead, an accident happened, a girl let out a scream that attracted everyone's attention, and then Xinghe saw a scene that made him creepy.

A girl, running from behind, the children along the road avoided her, when she rushed to the front of the crowd, Xinghe saw her face, her skin became loose like a dying old man, black blood flowed from her eyes, nose, she ran towards the cauldron, but in the middle of the road as if she had lost all her strength, she threw herself on the ground at once, rolled a few times, fell to the ground and tried to continue to crawl forward, but her completely decayed body could not exert a little strength, she stretched out her right hand with difficulty, which was already skinny and bone, towards the cauldron that was still boiling dragon heart, and made a muffled sound in her throat, like a roar, like a wail.......

The girl's hand soon hung limply, and she died......

This terrifying scene crushed everyone's hearts, including Xinghe, maybe they could find some more dragon heart fruits, but the medicinal effects of the poison have already begun to work, if they can't get the dragon heart fruit now, Anton is afraid that it will become like this.

Xinghe didn't hesitate, turned and pounced on Leviathan, but his reaction was even faster, he quickly lifted the cloth bag in the cauldron, grabbed a reddened dragon heart fruit from it, and threw the big cloth bag into the distance, and then he fell to the ground with the dragon heart fruit in his arms, allowing Xinghe to pounce on his back, and when Xinghe tried his best to turn him over, he had already stuffed all the dragon heart fruits into his mouth.

"Bastard!" Xinghe kicked him angrily, turning and running in the direction he threw the bag.

Several children were scrambling for the cloth bag, and a Snow boy took advantage of his obvious reminder, retreated several children, grabbed the corner of the cloth bag, and wanted to pull it to his side, but he didn't expect the cloth bag to withstand the pull, and it broke all of a sudden, and the dragon heart fruit in the cloth bag was spilled out at once.

The reddish fruits like dragon's hearts splashed all at once, causing even more commotion, and in the process, some of the children were poisoned.

"Bastard!" Xinghe didn't have any reservations, kicked away the two children in front of him, and squeezed towards the center, almost all the children who grabbed the fruit immediately stuffed it into their mouths, but not all of them succeeded, some people were knocked down, the lucky ones were just knocked to the ground, and the unlucky ones were picked up by the people around them to make weapons of wooden sticks, bricks and the like knocked the ground and flesh flew sideways, a purgatory-like picture quietly unfolded here, and even some blood was splashed on Xinghe's face, for the first time in so many years, he didn't tremble because of this kind of thing, or he just forgot his fear for a while at this moment。

Physically, Xinghe doesn't have any advantage at all, but he knows something else, he has been a thief for a long time, he can do more than just pick locks, he stole a dragon heart fruit from two people who were fighting, and hid it in his clothes, out of inadvertentness, he didn't look at the faces of those two people, and the dragon heart fruit that was taken away had already sentenced them to death.

The rest of the matter is to find Anton and Lanyue in the chaos, although Xinghe was anxious, he didn't dare to shout their names loudly, he was afraid of attracting the attention of others, he walked through the chaos and ran to the corridor on the second floor, with the help of height, he found Anton and Lanyue, the two of them gathered together, looking lonely, they didn't grab the dragon heart fruit, but thankfully, they were safe!

Xinghe breathed a sigh of relief and was about to go to them, but as soon as he took a step, he found that his feet did not obey the call, and he tripped himself all of a sudden, and he wanted to get up, but found that not only his feet, but also his hands, and his whole body were unconscious.

"Galaxy... I'm sorry, I have to live!" Kayla walked up from behind, holding an open jar with the label "Giant Spider Venom" on the surface, and the contents of the jar were empty and had been splashed on herself.
