Chapter 173: Pharmacology

In the midst of the long grass, Yi Chen saw the target he was looking forβ€”the leader of the mutated boar.

This big guy had only experienced a fierce battle during the day, and he was seriously injured, but at night, he was fine, and he looked leisurely, and he was so healthy that he couldn't do it.

Ordinary mutant boars definitely don't have such self-healing ability, so it can be seen that this big guy must have some adventure.

Yi Chen continued to walk forward while thinking, and at the same time pressed Chen Lao Wu, telling him to be careful, not to make too loud footsteps, lest the group of brutes on the opposite side find out early.

Although Chen Lao Wu is a relatively cowardly person, he has been used to running in the mountains since he was a child, and this common sense is not without it.

The two of them sneaked cautiously, and after a while, they came to the place where the boars gathered.

Separated by a distance of dozens of meters, Yi Chen squatted down and began to observe the situation on the other side.

Several giant boars were eating, biting at the carcass of an animal that couldn't tell what it was, and the rest of the dozen or so mutant boars were resting on the ground, and a few more were looking around the periphery, responsible for keeping guard.

As for the leader of the boar, he had eaten and drunk well early, and was leaning against a big tree at this time.

This is the nature of pigs, they like to grind their own skin, which is used to form a hard protective layer to protect themselves.

The big tree in front of me is called "Iron Pine", which is a less common tree that can only grow in some specific soils.

They are called iron pines because their torso is so hard that it resembles steel, hence the name.

This boar leader likes to rub on the iron pine, after a long time, the mane on his body is mixed with pine oil, and it will form a layer of hard shell, no wonder its defense is so high, Lu Er's dart does not hurt or itch when it flies, it is really very set. ~

Just thinking about it, the rest of the boars also came over, and after the boss finished grinding, he consciously stepped forward and grinded his skin in a similar way.

Yi Chen couldn't help but be happy when he saw it.

No wonder, no wonder these guys are not afraid of slashing and stabbing with swords, but they are afraid of fire attacks, it turns out that they have such living habits.

"Hey, Brother Dumbo, look over there. Chen Lao Wu suddenly patted him on the shoulder and pouted towards the right front.

Yi Chen followed his gaze, and saw the leader of the boar walking in front of a mound, arching in the long grass while digging with his hooves from time to time, digging in the ground, and in a short time he dug out a few spherical plant rhizomes.

"That'...... Isn't that taro grass?" Chen Lao Wuyi patted his head and said excitedly: "It's it, it's it, this thing is poisonous, Xiaoliu must have been poisoned by taro grass." ”

"Be quiet. Yi Chen covered his mouth, and at the same time quickly made a mute note, and then let go: "It's not sure for the time being, let's see." ”

"What, why?" Chen Lao Wu looked puzzled.

"Brother, your pharmacological knowledge is good, but caring is messy, and some places may not have thought of it. Although it is toxic, it is not very big, and if you want to kill people, you need a large dose, and you probably forgot that this thing will only be poisoned if you eat it, and it will not hurt if it is mixed into the bloodstream. ”

"Oh, yes, yes, I forgot that, look at my brain. When Chen Lao Wu heard this, he couldn't help but feel annoyed.

Yi Chen smiled slightly, and said, "Brother, you studied medicine before?"

"Well, after studying for a while, there is a Li Langzhong in the east of our village, and his medical skills are very good, and he taught me all this ability. ”

"I see, then why didn't you and Sixth Brother stay in your hometown, but followed Second Brother Lu so far? If I'm not mistaken, you didn't know each other before, right?"

"Hey, this, that's a long story. Chen Lao Wu smiled awkwardly, his expression obviously a little unnatural.

Seeing this, Yi Chen didn't continue to ask, but said, "Brother, you keep an eye on this side first, and I'll come when I go." ”

"Hmm...... Hey, wait. Chen Lao Wu was just about to agree, but suddenly his eyes lit up, and he pointed ahead and said, "Brother Xiaofei, look at it!"

"What?" Yi Chen followed, only to see the boar leader pull away another piece of grass, revealing a dark green thing hidden in it.

It looked like a fern, and it looked very unremarkable, and from a distance, it looked like a lump of green, brown bird droppings.

I don't know what the boar leader thinks, such a disgusting thing, it can still eat with relish, it seems that it is really not picky.

"Hairy leaf fern, there are actually hairy leaf ferns here. Chen Lao Wu lowered his voice and said cautiously: "Brother Xiaofei, you say, will there be ...... around here?"

"Perhaps. Yi Chen smiled and didn't continue the discussion on this topic.

Chen Lao Wu understood what he meant, although the hairy leaf fern itself did not have much effect, it had a strange characteristic, that is, it was often accompanied by other spiritual grasses around the place where it grows.

This means that when you see a hairy fern, as long as you look around, you may have some unexpected surprises.

But Yi Chen didn't have time to think about this now, what he was thinking about was something else entirely.

After a while, he suddenly opened his mouth: "Brother, I have roughly figured out what is going on, the poison on the little sixth brother is actually nothing, and he can be saved." ”

"Really?" Chen Lao Wu was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "What the hell is going on?"

"Let me explain to you that this poison is not actually a single poison, but a mixture of several things that are not toxic or not obvious or strong. ”

"Hmm...... I've heard this kind of saying before, I don't know what my little six is?"

"Ha, I can't name it, but I read it in a book, it is said that the pine oil of the iron pine, plus the rhizome of the taro grass, and then mixed with the leaves of the hairy fern, grind together into juice, with black sand, can make a very good runic ink. ”

"Fu ...... Fu Mo?"

"Yes, I'm a talisman master. Yi Chen smiled slightly, and said: "If this kind of rune ink is used to draw armor-piercing talismans, sharpening talismans or something, the effect will be very good, and it is poisonous, and the one who is in it will be killed immediately." Therefore, it is often used to make arrowheads, darts and so on, and it is also used to engrave symbols on swords and axes in order to obtain this effect. ”

"I see. Chen Lao Wu nodded, and said with a worried face: "But you said that the middle one will be killed immediately......

"Don't worry. Yi Chen immediately comforted: "It was specially deployed by the talisman master, and it was specially used for yin people, so the effect is naturally very vicious." But this boar leader is just a beast after all, it is not poisonous in itself, and the reason why it can be poisonous is entirely because of the accident caused by living habits and environment. ”

"This ......"

"Believe me, its poison is just because it usually eats taro grass and hairy leaf fern, so the blood contains some related components, and then as it grows, it enters the mane, and then rubs on the iron pine, mixed with the pine oil of the iron pine, and it will inevitably merge some of it back and forth, making its mane poisonous. ”

"Original...... I see. Chen Lao Wu was so dizzy that he had to admire Yi Chen's pharmacological knowledge.

"Don't worry, this poison is not worth mentioning at all compared to the rune ink specially prepared by our talisman master, it is impossible to kill anyone immediately, and if it is completely attacked, it will take at least three or five days. ”

"So, how are we going to get rid of this poison? Sounds so complicated......"

"It doesn't matter. Yi Chen smiled faintly, pointed to the distance and said, "In a while, we will take local materials, make some herbs, and prepare the antidote." ”

"Good, good. Chen Lao Wu smiled happily, his heart was settled, and then asked, "May I ask what kind of kind?"

"It's very simple, just hairy ferns, loquat berries, iron pine needles, and the rest I have, so I don't have to risk collecting them. ”

"Alright, I'll go. Chen Lao Wu said that he was about to act.

"Slow. Yi Chen grabbed him, "There are many beasts here, there are groups of spirits, and there are ......"

"And what?" Chen Lao Wu waited for a long time and couldn't wait for the next step, and couldn't help but wonder.

"It's nothing, you just wait. Yi Chen hesitated for a moment, but still swallowed the sentence "And there is always a demonic aura permeating the surroundings".

This kind of feeling is not something that others will have, but as a half-demon, he is naturally very sensitive to demonic energy.

There are no traces of monsters in this vicinity, only some mutated beasts, although they also have demonic energy, but this demonic energy is very faint and mixed.

And the demonic aura that Yi Chen felt was very pure, a bit like Su Mei'er's feeling, but the strength level seemed to be slightly worse.

Anyway, Su Mei'er is a big demon with six hundred years of cultivation, even if this guy is a little worse than her, he is still a very strong existence!

At least, in this barren mountain range, such strength is definitely the existence of dominating the mountains and wilderness!

After thinking about it, Yi Chen still let Chen Lao Wu stay where he was, and he ran out for a walk, collecting some hairy leaf ferns, loquat berries, and iron pine needles.

These are relatively common things, and it is not difficult to find, the key lies in the white crystal sand - as long as you have it, you can prepare an antidote, and everything else is just an auxiliary ingredient.

This key white crystal sand, Yi Chen already has, when he was in Dongping County before, he didn't remember which sect had come to give gifts, he couldn't use it for a while, so he threw it into the gourd, and he didn't think that it would come in handy now.

After the collection was completed, Yi Chen returned to the original location, handed the things to Chen Lao Wu, and told him to put them away and go back to prepare the antidote in a while.

Chen Lao Wu was grateful, if it weren't for the special situation, he was afraid of noisy to the mountain boar herd opposite, it is estimated that he would have hugged Yi Chen's leg and cried bitterly at this time.

Another quarter of an hour passed, and there was still no movement on the other side.

Considering Chen Xiaoliu's situation, Yi Chen was embarrassed to drag it any longer, so he could only pat Chen Lao Wu on the shoulder, signaling that he could go, and his steps should be light.

The two of them got up and were about to leave, when suddenly, a tiger roar came from afar, shaking through the mountains!

Yi Chen was shocked and immediately stopped.

This howling sound is so loud that ordinary tigers will never be able to roar, it must be a mutated or spirited tiger to do it.
