Chapter 205 The Secret Forest 7
Ruan Xi looked at everyone's slightly stiff expressions and couldn't help but frowned slightly, recalling what he had said at the time... Could it be that he forgot to mention this?
"I didn't forget to say it, did I? I remember I said it..." Ruan Xi spoke the truth with an innocent face, blinking and looking at this and that. This expression and posture really looked innocent no matter how you looked at them.
"Dad said it was us... who weren't paying attention..." Holy shit, after two days of tossing and turning, the final conclusion is that they didn't listen with their brains? It felt like I'd been slapped in the face. It hurt.
"It doesn't matter. Now I remember everything and found the evidence. Let's keep looking. I only need ten of them. This is just a medicine inducer." The main medicinal ingredient is still the blue iris grass, but it has to be the complete blue iris grass that has not been eaten by the purple velvet worm. Ruan Xi didn't mention this for the time being, so as to avoid repeated mentions that would hit everyone so hard that they couldn't recover.
Although the search for the purple velvet worm did not have a particularly good start, it was successfully resolved after all. Therefore, the subsequent process of searching for herbs proceeded smoothly, which seemed to be a matter of course.
After finding all the herbs needed for the second stage of the treatment potion, Ruan Xi couldn't help but sigh, "That big monster is really a strange person. It didn't bother us again after that."
Before, they'd been worried about the monster coming back to disrupt the process. Even if it didn't cause any casualties, it would definitely delay his progress. What if the black hole suddenly opened? Wouldn't that interrupt his treatment of Xiao Hei and the others? Although he didn't want to give up halfway, who knew when the black hole would open again?
Ruan Xi always had an inexplicable uneasiness, feeling that the Yinyu Empire was also in some kind of danger. After all, the mastermind behind the scenes had not been found yet, and God knew what that mastermind would do next!
These thoughts in his mind were so chaotic that Ruan Xi frowned unconsciously. Then, he suddenly felt a little warmth on the center of his frown.
"What are you thinking about? You look so bitter and resentful?" He Ziqian stood beside Ruan Xi at some point. Seeing his frown, he raised his hand to smooth it out. His words and expression were full of deep concern.
"Tell me, has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince found the mastermind behind this? Will he cause trouble while we're away? After all, the Shadow Star Pirates incident just happened. I have a feeling something's going to happen, or has already happened."
Ruan Xi's perception of crisis is also increasing little by little as his supernatural powers are upgraded. Whenever he senses something, he will feel inexplicably panicked.
In the Yinyu Empire, there are his friends, elders, teachers, classmates, and comrades who can be trusted... He doesn't want anything to happen to anyone, but once the war breaks out, harm is inevitable. Whenever he thinks of this, he wishes he could return to the Yinyu Empire immediately, find out the mastermind behind the scenes, and completely eliminate this hidden danger.
After all, the alien races are now almost extinct due to internal conflicts. Even if there are still some troublemakers among the remaining alien races, they will not be able to invade others within a hundred years. There is no need to worry for the time being. However, what if civil unrest also occurs in the Yinyu Empire?
Ruan Xi didn't dare to think about it any further, as he was still worried no matter how he thought about it.
"I don't know. We're far away in another dimension now. It's uncertain whether we can return. Worrying too much is futile. Be good and don't think too much for now. Just do what we should do and leave the rest to fate."
After all, black holes are something that cannot be controlled by human power.
Of course, foreigners are not allowed either.
"I know, but I just feel uneasy... Oh, forget it, I'd better concentrate on making my medicine. Maybe the black hole will appear in a few days. I have to hurry to cure Xiao Hei..." Ruan Xi muttered in a low voice, his hands moving skillfully and quickly. He Ziqian didn't disturb him anymore, leaving him alone in the mecha and went outside.
As soon as he jumped off the mecha, he met Xiao Hei who was running towards him in a hurry. Seeing that Xiao Hei was out of breath, He Ziqian couldn't help but be shocked.
"What's wrong? Why are you running so fast?" He Ziqian helped Xiao Hei, who had braked suddenly in front of him. Xiao Hei then steady himself and looked up at He Ziqian.
This expression actually showed a bit of panic, which made He Ziqian frown subconsciously and asked, "What happened?"
"The force field in the cave... has changed. This is a precursor to the appearance of a black hole." When Xiao Hei said this, He Ziqian was instantly shocked.
Could it be that his little genius doctor had predicted something? Should Ruan Xi change his nickname to "Little Divine Calculator"?
"If this is really a precursor to the appearance of a black hole, then how long is the black hole expected to appear?" Thinking that his little genius doctor was obsessed with curing Xiao Hei's illness, if he really had to leave early, then this matter would probably be a knot in Ruan Xi's heart until his death.
"Ten days at most, seven days at least, depending on the changes in the force field. I will go there to monitor it every day." The aliens' perception of black holes seems to be an ability engraved in their genes. Xiao Hei has half of the aliens' genes in his body and also possesses this ability. He Ziqian would never doubt it.
But the current situation is indeed a bit embarrassing.
He Ziqian frowned unconsciously, and was caught by Xiao Hei. He suddenly said, "If the black hole opens, you should leave immediately. I think that after the first stage of treatment, our physical condition has improved a lot. It's okay..."
Xiao Hei's words were sincere, but He Ziqian felt a little sad after hearing them. At first, Xiao Hei and the little black balls just wanted to survive and take revenge on the aliens who hurt them. Now that the revenge is done, they probably think that they should live as long as they can and there is no need to force it. It seems that they don't have much desire to survive.
"No! I said I would cure you, and I won't go back on my word! Ten days... no, seven days. Hurry, I can do it!"
"Don't force yourself..."
"No need to force it! This is a promise I made, and I must fulfill it! Ziqian, I've listed all the herbs needed for the third and fourth stages, and I've written down all the key points. You lead everyone to find the medicine, and I'll stay in the mecha to make the medicine. This decision may be a bit risky, but it's worth a try. I want to combine the treatments for the last three stages. Xiaohei, do you dare to try it?"
Ruan Xi stared at Xiao Hei without blinking, his face showing seriousness and determination. Obviously, he didn't have the slightest intention of joking.
Xiao Hei was stunned for a few seconds, then laughed.
"If you dare to try, I dare to try." As long as he is alive, he actually doesn't want to die. He also wants to try more possibilities!
Xiao Hei looked at Ruan Xi who was smiling at him, then looked at Xiao Guai who had come running over at some point, and the smile on his face grew bigger and bigger.
"I want to try." I want to try, there are more possible futures.
In the next five days, He Ziqian led the team to collect medicinal materials day and night, while Ruan Xi studied the medicine formula day and night. The medicine that was originally divided into three stages now had to be merged into one stage. The span can be imagined.
However, Ruan Xi became more courageous as the battle went on, and he showed no sign of getting tired.
"What about using my leaves? Roots are fine too. You can't keep going like this. Even if you have super powers, you won't be able to endure it!" The big tree looked at Ruan Xi anxiously. You know, if Ruan Xi wants to speed up the process of making medicine, the most direct way is to use alien species to catalyze the reaction between medicinal materials to shorten the time. If he tries one formula after another, Ruan Xi's super powers will be exhausted sooner or later. That is no joke.
"Your leaves and roots are not omnipotent. The main medicinal materials have to be native to the alien planet. My special abilities and your leaves and roots can only play an auxiliary role." The Tree of Life is not omnipotent. Ruan Xi has always been clear in his heart and will never rely too much on the Tree of Life.
It's not just because the Tree of Life is not omnipotent, but also because the tree is his friend and his family. He can't and will not do anything to hurt the tree.
"Then you have to take it easy. If something really happens to you, He Ziqian and Xiaoguai will cry to death, believe it or not?" Dashu almost yelled. All his calmness and composure were thrown out of the window. He just wanted to wake up Ruan Xi, the ignorant kid!
"Don't worry, I love them and I can't bear to let go of any of them. I won't let them cry. I know my limits!" Ruan Xi said this without any perfunctory words and was very serious.
The big tree could clearly sense his emotions and suddenly fell silent. In the end, it could only continue to guard silently, ready to come up and rescue at any time.
By the seventh day, everyone was almost exhausted, but they finally persevered and found all the herbs listed by Ruan Xi.
"Leave the rest to me!"
Ruan Xi took the baton and smiled confidently.
"Is it possible?" He Ziqian sat on the ground in a mess, with unconcealable worry in his voice.
The force field outside the black hole is changing more and more violently. The black hole is very likely to appear within three days. The time they have at their disposal is too little.
"No problem!" Ruan Xi made an OK gesture to everyone, then returned to Chi Lin's body without looking back, closed the control hatch and prevented anyone from entering.
"Don't worry, I will protect you the whole time." Chi Lin said his oath of protection warmly, as if he was a flesh-and-blood person, which made Ruan Xi chuckle.
"Well, thank you Chilin."
Then, they devoted themselves wholeheartedly. Because the previous test data was accurate enough, the final pharmaceutical production did not have any twists and turns, but was smoothly advanced to the final stage.
However, it was at this final moment that Ruan Xi was under the greatest pressure.
"Big tree, are you ready?" This time, his wood-related ability alone was not enough, and he had to add the big tree's. According to his estimation, he and the big tree would have to consume at least 80% of their total energy to catalyze the drug reaction within the effective time limit. Once this effective time limit was exceeded, the drug production would fail directly.
They cannot afford any failure now.
"Let's get started."
The big tree had no intention of saying another word. Before it finished speaking, the tremendous energy unique to the Tree of Life had already been injected into the potion reaction tank. Ruan Xi also injected his own wood energy into the potion reaction tank a step slower. In this way, the process of continuously injecting energy lasted for nearly an hour, and it was successfully catalyzed the potion reaction within the effective time limit.
Ruan Xi slid down almost as soon as the potion was made, and was caught by a chair in time. "Xiao Xi, you've worked hard."
"Yeah, but the hard work paid off. The potion was prepared successfully!"
As long as his formula is correct, and as long as Xiao Hei and the others are not too unlucky, then their illness will definitely be cured by this medicine.
He can't wait to see the healthy Xiao Hei and the little black balls!
