How do you know it's alive?
Ye Qingqing was very excited. If it was alive, then it might be a Gu poison, and she could treat it in another way. The antidote pill was indeed ineffective.
"I just know they're bad things. They grow by eating Grandma's blood, and then they sprout and grow even bigger. They're so wicked." Jingjing was furious, even more furious that she was too weak to eliminate the bad things in Grandma's and her friends' stomachs.
Ye Qingqing felt a chill in her heart. If it can sprout, then it's a plant, not a poisonous insect. What kind of poison is this?
Jingjing thought her mother hadn't understood, so she took the small amount of venom that she had extracted from the yam cake. On the bright green leaf, the venom was only the size of a mung bean, lying quietly without any change.
"Is this the poison?" Lu Mo asked.
Ye Qingqing nodded, puzzled, "It was extracted quietly. Venom is either extracted from plants or from animal saliva or blood. How could it possibly sprout?"
"It will sprout after it drinks blood."
Jingjing wanted to use a dagger to cut her blood to feed the venom, but Lu Mo stopped her and prepared to cut his own blood. However, Tie Dan, that silly boy, was faster than him and bit his finger, dripping blood onto the leaf.
"Use mine, I have plenty of blood."
Tie Dan's fingers were covered in blood; he was willing to give his life to save his wife and children.
"Look, it's sprouting!" Jingjing exclaimed.
Everyone looked at the dewdrops on the leaves, but couldn't see anything. Lu Mo quickly went to the study to get a high-powered magnifying glass. Under the magnifying glass, he finally understood why Jingjing had said it had sprouted.
It was indeed sprouting. That drop of venom contained many tiny buds. After absorbing blood, these buds grew rapidly, then separated into new buds, grew again, and separated again, just like cell division.
But these buds are not single-celled organisms; they are living organisms, or more precisely, plants.
Therefore, only by remaining still can one discover their abnormalities.
The venom on the leaf had grown several times larger. Iron Egg had already absorbed all the blood. Without the blood supply, the venom stopped changing and lay quietly on the leaf again.
Tie Dan was about to drip more blood when Ye Qingqing stopped him, saying, "It's unnecessary."
"Sister-in-law, can you find the antidote?" Tie Dan didn't care about stopping the bleeding from his wound; he only wanted to find the antidote.
Ye Qingqing shook her head. She didn't even recognize what that bud was, and she didn't have time to study it slowly. This kind of monster lived on blood, and if it wasn't eliminated quickly, Lin Shufang and Roubing would definitely be sucked dry.
"Don't worry, there must be a way."
Lu Mo's calm voice eased the tense atmosphere somewhat, but Lin Shufang and Roubing's condition had worsened. Even Roubing, the strongest among them, had fallen into a coma, and the youngest, Roubao, was in the worst condition, unable to utter a sound.
"Meat bun... Daddy's useless... Waaah..."
Tie Dan held his precious daughter, crying uncontrollably. He wished he could suffer in place of his wife and child. If he could save their lives, he would be willing to exchange his own for three.
But now all he can do is cry; he can't do anything else.
The phone rang, the abrupt ringing making the atmosphere even more tense. Ye Qingqing answered the phone, and the caller ID showed it was a public phone in the city. She had a very bad feeling.
"Ye Qingqing, it's been a long time."
The voice was clear and pleasant, and very familiar.
