Chapter 203 The Secret Forest 5

One question, straight to the point. Ruan Xi didn't act pretentiously and immediately took out the syringe and medicine.

"Then I'll start."

The action of injecting medicine was repeated continuously. Except for the two strongest ones, Xiao Hei and Feng Xue, who were injected with three units and two units of excess dose respectively, the remaining little black balls only needed to be injected with one unit of medicine. The whole injection process lasted less than half an hour. Including Xiao Hei and Feng Xue, there were a total of 132 little black balls in the team, which was a little different from the number brought out at the beginning. This meant that there were casualties among the little black balls along the way, but no one had ever told him directly.

But Ruan Xi knew that this was all out of everyone's good intentions, and he didn't want him to think too much, let alone be sad. Even the little black balls had the same idea, so Ruan Xi couldn't ask them hypocritically why they kept it from him. He really couldn't do such a thing.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the medicine will take effect within an hour. Don't hide any abnormalities in your body from me, understand?" Ruan Xi said these words to all the little black balls.

"I'll keep an eye on them."

"I can do that too!"

Xiao Hei gave the order and Feng Xue quickly followed. Then, they took the little black balls and started to set up camp as usual, exploring the environment and bringing back some wild fruits and prey.

The work is really efficient!

Ruan Xi: “…” He always felt that the medicine he made was ignored… He felt inexplicably discouraged!

If this medicine were in the Yinyu Empire, it would definitely be a milestone. It can completely cure even the most serious genetic diseases in minutes. Shouldn't it be given due attention?

For a moment, a strong aura of depression emanated from Ruan Xi, and this aura was almost condensed into substance. If He Ziqian couldn't feel it, he would probably be a piece of wood.

He Ziqian asked with concern, and then the depressed Ruan Xi carefully introduced this medicine to him, and explained in detail how this medicine would have an amazing effect in the treatment of genetic diseases. The excited little look really made He Ziqian a little uncomfortable to be serious.

His Xiaoxi becomes more and more childish in front of him. She is so cute and he loves her to death!

"So, this genetic drug can be used universally and has the same good effect on humans?" Ruan Xi was naturally excited, but he still managed to maintain his calm composure.

"Of course it's different. Humans are definitely not as strong as aliens. Xiao Hei and his companions are a new species that has integrated alien and human genes. Those who survive are stronger than both aliens and humans. The medicine that works well on them will be twice as effective when used on humans. As long as the genetic disease is not too serious, it can even be cured in one go!"

Ruan Xi finally had the opportunity to explain the power of the new medicine. She talked incessantly and couldn't stop. He Ziqian listened carefully, nodding from time to time and asking a question occasionally. He was a very good listener.

When Ruan Xi finally finished talking, the vague feeling of depression in his heart disappeared without a trace. Their camp had been built long ago, and even the barbecue fire had been set up.

These little black balls have made quite good progress in learning cooking, and their chef Ruan Xi is quite satisfied with it.

"How long has it been now? Has it been an hour?" The little black balls worked very efficiently. After a busy period of work, they almost finished everything, but it didn't take them more than an hour, only forty-seven minutes. If the rhythm was well enough, Ruan Xi could even finish eating the barbecue before considering observing the little black balls' reactions to the medicine.

This was indeed the case. Almost at the moment when Ruan Xi finished eating the barbecue and washed his hands and face, Xiao Hei and Feng Xue came to Ruan Xi, each carrying two little black dumplings. "They were dizzy and couldn't walk."

Xiao Hei explained the situation briefly and concisely. Ruan Xi immediately went forward to check on the four little black balls. There was no major change in their physical condition, but the activity of their cells was gradually being activated. They were moving and colliding violently in their bodies, as if they were trying to find an exit to leave this dangerous place.

"It's a normal reaction. After about fifteen minutes, the dizziness will subside, and the heartbeat will suddenly accelerate. Remember, this stage will last at least half an hour. Have them rest where they are and don't move. Don't exercise in any way. Try to breathe as slowly as possible. It's a little uncomfortable, but I believe it won't be a problem for you."

At this time, more little black balls showed symptoms of dizziness, and Ruan Xi immediately became busy. Xiaoguai and He Ziqian followed them to help, numbering all the little black balls and recording their reactions and time in the first stage. Only in special cases would Ruan Xi check them personally. Fortunately, there were no problems in the first three stages. The only one who was in a hurry was Xiaoguai, who was helping for the first time.

"Xiaoguai, are you okay?" Ruan Xi glanced at Xiaoguai from time to time. Seeing his panic-stricken appearance, he felt both amused and distressed. He almost asked Xiaoguai to go aside to rest several times.

But the little guy seemed to be able to read his mind. Every time he was about to speak, he would make a face and shut him up, "Dad, don't say it!"

Ruan Xi: "..." Okay, he should respect his son's choice.

However, just as Ruan Xi had originally expected, this genetic medicine, although safe enough and even extremely effective for humans, was far from enough for a new species like the little black ball, and it only completed the first stage of treatment.

After Xiao Hei, Feng Xue and all the little black balls had safely passed the first stage of treatment and had at least basically achieved the expected therapeutic effect, Ruan Xi finally told them the second stage treatment plan.

Everyone: “…”

Oh shit, so this is just the first stage of treatment?

"Dad, how many stages are there? How long will it take?" Xiaoguai was filled with joy, thinking that as long as he could get through this treatment, Xiaohei would be completely healed and he could play with him freely. After all, even if the black hole was found, it was still unknown when it would be opened. There were so many interesting things in the strange forest, and they were far from having enough fun! Even if the presence of the big monster brought more danger, it couldn't completely stop their curiosity and playfulness.

"There are four stages. The first stage is activation, the second stage is replacement, the third stage is fusion, and the fourth stage is rebirth. If they can successfully pass these four stages of treatment, the genetic environment in Xiao Hei and the others' bodies will be completely stabilized." Genetic stability means health, longevity, and the continuation of the race.

Everyone was stunned. Even He Ziqian, who knew Ruan Xi best, couldn't help but sigh in shock. His little miracle doctor was keeping this a secret. Was he planning to keep pushing until the first stage didn't go well, and then announce the second stage of treatment? Thinking of Ruan Xi's stubborn personality, He Ziqian had every reason to believe that if no one asked, Ruan Xi would complete each stage and announce the next one until he finally succeeded.

"That sounds like it'll take ages..." Xiaoguai murmured in disbelief. Would he even have time to play with Xiaohei? After all, Xiaohei was going to stay here and be the king, and he was definitely going to go home with his dad and his father! It would be hard to see them again!

"The success of the first stage has laid a solid foundation for the next three stages. Let's not waste time." Ruan Xi said, and took out a purple-blue herb with clusters of bell-like fruits growing on it.

"This herb is called the Blue Kite. It has a companion insect called the Purple Velvet, which looks like a caterpillar and is only the size of my little finger. It likes to eat the fruit of the Blue Kite and lives in the soil. The holes dug by the Purple Velvet will be stained with purple fluid. You need to look carefully for it, as it is the main ingredient of the second-stage potion. Remember, don't let the Purple Velvet bite you, because the Blue Kite fruit reacts with the Purple Velvet's saliva to produce a highly toxic reaction. Be sure to wear gloves when handling the Purple Velvet."

After saying that, Ruan Xi took out a bunch of protective gloves and distributed them to each person, each little black ball, carefully and with concern.

"Remember, when you can't guarantee your own safety, you must give up first, because I haven't developed an antidote yet, and poisoning is almost certain to be fatal!" To find an antidote or something, he would have to catch a purple velvet worm to study it.

"Understood." Everyone answered in unison. Xiao Hei and Feng Xue rushed out immediately, and the little black balls quickly followed.

Xiaoguai forced himself to suppress the urge to follow Xiaohei, and urged his father to set out to look for insects.

Ruan Xi: "..." Okay, it was him who dragged his little girl down, he is guilty.

However, the process of searching for purple velvet was not smooth at all. The living habits and appearance range of purple velvet were easy to find, but the holes of purple velvet were really hard to find. After finally finding one, the hole was still empty. Everyone turned over the ground almost inch by inch, but could not find a single purple velvet worm. This was a bit abnormal.

"This isn't right. It doesn't make sense that there aren't any purple velvet worms to be found. Where did they go?" The blue iris grass grew there, and the purple velvet's range was confined to within a fifty-meter radius of the blue iris grass. Furthermore, they had indeed found the purple velvet's cave, so why were there no purple velvet worms? Was it an accident, or was it man-made?

"Dad, could it be that a big monster has taken away all the bugs?" Xiaoguai's words woke everyone up, but Ruan Xi frowned slightly after hearing it.

"Both the blue iris and the purple velvet worm were medicinal herbs confirmed by my research. I only told them once, so I can understand him eavesdropping. However, after eavesdropping, he immediately captured all the purple velvet worms. This is something I really cannot understand."

Can purple velvet worms gather together and wait for the big monster to catch them? I always feel that there is something weird about it.

"You guys continue to search around, let me think about it alone, there must be something I have overlooked..." Ruan Xi muttered and fell into deep thought. Nothing in the outside world could disturb him, and he entered a state of selflessness.

He Ziqian knew this situation too well, and had no choice but to stay by his side. To be on the safe side, he summoned Chi Lin directly, and the two of them entered the control cabin, so that Xiaoguai could go crazy with Xiaohei for a while, otherwise the hyperactive kid would be bored.

Ruan Xi pondered over this until late at night. His brain could not stop working at all. He did not feel tired at all, either physically or mentally. After all, there was a big tree to protect him and replenish his energy at any time.

"Dashu, is Ruan Xi okay?" He Ziqian could only see whether there was anything wrong with Ruan Xi's body, but his mental power could not perceive it accurately.

"Don't worry, I'm here. I also feel like something's wrong. I'll extend my roots out to look around and see if I can find any clues." The big tree fell silent after saying this, and was obviously busy looking for clues.

He Ziqian stayed with Ruan Xi like this until daybreak. Suddenly, Ruan Xi clapped his hands and shouted excitedly, "I know!"
