But... none of that works, he hasn't gotten the key yet.
Inside the room, the man's body was swollen beyond recognition, writhing and rolling on the floor in agony. Now Mu Nanxun finally understood how those huge blisters on his body had come about.
"Help me...help me..."
The man, his face contorted with rage, pleaded for help from Mu Nanxun, his entire body writhing on the ground like a coiled snake.
Mu Nanxun quickly squatted down.
How can I help you?
"Medicine...medicine."
medicine?
The man pointed vaguely to his waist.
His hands were bent involuntarily, and he could no longer hold things freely.
Mu Nanxun searched for a while in the tattered clothes around his waist, and finally found a small pill in the only intact lining, which she held in her palm.
Is this it?
"Yes...yes..."
The man nodded repeatedly, his mouth agape.
Mu Nanxun threw the pill into the man's mouth, and the man swallowed it with difficulty.
After taking the medicine, the man seemed to feel much better. He gradually calmed down after a short while. It appeared that the pain in his body had subsided considerably.
Her body was no longer twisted so violently, but instead lay quietly half-reclined against the wall.
"Is this the antidote?"
Upon hearing this, the man shook his head in despair, "No, this spider's venom is extremely potent and there is no antidote. It can only temporarily relieve the pain so that I don't die in such agony."
So that's how it is. So, this man is destined to die after all.
Why don't you find a chance to escape?
Judging from the man's appearance, he seems to be free. Escaping from this underground palace shouldn't be too difficult for him.
Hearing this, the man raised his eyelids and glanced at him, then gave a self-deprecating laugh. "Escape... do you think I can escape? Don't be fooled by my apparent freedom in this place. I've been poisoned for a long time... In fact, rather than feeding these spiders with my blood, I'm relying on them to survive..."
What does this mean?
"These spiders also contain potent venom. Perhaps it's a case of fighting poison with poison. Only by letting these spiders suck my blood can I barely cling to life. Besides, with my wretched appearance, I only deserve to spend my life in a place like this. Even if I manage to escape, I won't be accepted by the world. It's better to stay here, keep company with these spiders, and gain some freedom."
I see.
No wonder he preferred to stay in such a dark and gloomy place.
It takes a lot of courage for someone to want to break free after living in such a desperate environment for so long.
"You and Arnold..."
Mu Nanxun couldn't help but ask.
This man who appeared out of nowhere is too strange, too eerie. Many answers seem obvious, yet something just doesn't feel right.
The man didn't answer Mu Nanxun's question for a long time this time. Even though his eyes were still open, the light in them gradually disappeared.
Mu Nanxun noticed that his breathing began to become barely perceptible, and eventually, he could only exhale and not inhale.
In the end, the man's pupils could no longer focus, and he collapsed limply to the ground.
"Hey, is he... is he dead?"
Mu Nanxun: "..."
"Hey, I'm asking you a question. Is he dead? He's finally dead! He scared me to death! How could there be such a disgusting and ugly human being..."
