Chapter 301 It can even eat people!
When a poison-type superpower appeared next to his son, Zuo Shan felt for the first time that he needed to study detoxification techniques.
Back at their lodgings, Fathead Fish was the first to jump off Ah Chen's neck and circled around him many times, clearly looking very worried.
They had a contract. Ah Chen inhaled hallucinogenic pollen and was also poisoned by the little poison woman's contracted plant, which infuriated Fathead Fish.
But Ah Chen had repeatedly told him before he enrolled that it was not allowed to appear in the academy at will, otherwise it would be left at the old house during the next vacation.
It couldn't act in front of everyone today, so the fathead fish decided to find a secluded spot and give her a good beating with its tail.
Mao Li and Panda didn't come either, because Zuo Shan felt that having just her accompany him while he studied was already quite extravagant, and there was no need to make it seem like he was accompanying a prince to study, requiring a whole group of followers.
Mao Li plans to use this time to collect more information to fill his database, and also to experience the local customs and culture of Green Algae Star.
Panda decided to join the Central District Gene Research Association. Although there has been some interruption in gene research over the past three hundred years, new achievements have been made in some areas.
Lele and Xiaobao have decided to open a weapon-refining shop in the city. Once she passes the weapon-refining qualification exam, she will be eligible to apply for an assistant immigration quota. At that time, she will invite Master Liu to come over, and the two of them will open the shop together.
This was something she had discussed with Master Liu before leaving District 48. If any other apprentice had said this to him, Master Liu would definitely have been angry and refused without hesitation.
However, he had watched Lele grow up, and in just over five years, her weapon-refining skills had surpassed his, a fact he truly admired.
Over the years, he has gotten used to taking care of Lele in every way. To be honest, he was very worried about her going to the central area with her sister.
So when Lele made this request, he agreed without hesitation.
Zuo Shan felt gratified that all her family members had something to do. She herself also had a lot to do, such as systematically learning how to use her superpowers and close combat techniques.
Now she has found a new goal—to research antidotes.
Since the little poison girl's contracted plant is datura, she will start by detoxifying datura.
After entering the central area, Zuo Shan activated the city's internet service with his local residency certificate. The internet fee here was not low, at 500 silver coins per month, but the amount of information he could access was well worth the price.
For example, right now, after Zuo Shan entered the four words "mutant datura" into the search engine, dozens of related articles appeared.
She patiently browsed through the articles one by one, and then found a link at the end of one of them.
After clicking, she found an academic forum for the formulation of natural plant medicines. Out of curiosity, she registered an account and randomly chose a nickname—"Mom Who Braves Through Thorns and Harps".
After entering the forum, she didn't bother to look at anything else and first searched for posts related to datura. One post titled "The King of Poisons - Datura" caught her attention.
After clicking, all I saw was:
"Before the Great Cataclysm, the datura plant was listed as the most poisonous plant in the Encyclopedia of Plants on the Green Algae Star."
Because all parts of it, including the flowers, stems, leaves, seeds, and roots, contain highly toxic substances such as datura...
In severe cases, hallucinations, delusions, convulsions, coma, or even death may occur.
In this era, death is not a very scary thing, so even if someone is poisoned by datura, it is not terrible.
After the cataclysm, the datura plant, which was originally thought to be extinct, underwent a premature mutation because some of its plants grew in areas where cadmium-contaminated wastewater was discharged.
When the cataclysm struck, they underwent a second mutation, thus surviving. Some of these plants even developed sentience and were able to successfully form contracts with extremely special poison-type ability users.
Recent discoveries have revealed that the mutated datura plant actively absorbs cadmium from the soil, adding a new toxin—cadmium—to itself.
Evidence suggests that even small amounts of this new toxin can cause extreme suffering. Below is a video of a mutated wild boar cub infected with a mutated datura toxin.
With trembling hands, Zuo Shan clicked on the video. In the video, a mutated wild boar cub was playing near its nest when it accidentally stepped into the territory of a mutated datura. The datura first turned its large trumpet-shaped flower mouth towards the wild boar cub, causing it to inhale the pollen and fall into a hallucination.
Then, as if drunk, the wild boar cub staggered to its plant, and the mutated datura raised its branches and leaves, striking the wild boar cub's most vulnerable eyes.
Soon, it was poisoned, and then rolled around and howled pitifully. The sow returned to the burrow, found the piglet in a terrible state, rushed to the datura plant, but was directly sprayed with poisonous pollen from the trumpet-shaped flower and inhaled into her mouth.
The sow was also poisoned. She cried out pitifully and collapsed next to her piglets. The two corpses, one large and one small, were wrapped by the dense branches of the mutated datura and dragged to its roots.
In just a few hours, they all turned into its fertilizer, and the video ends with even more vibrant datura flowers swaying in the wind.
Zuo Shan was horrified. She thought this thing was just poisonous, but she never expected that it would eat people after it mutated!
She quickly sent a private message to the author, whose nickname is "A Word of Life and Death": "Is this video absolutely real?"
Soon, a reply came through the private message: "Hehe!"
