Ye Qingqing lifted the clothes on Roubao's belly, revealing her small belly, which was bulging like a watermelon. Moreover, it was not quiet inside; it seemed as if something was moving, and even the belly skin was wriggling, which looked unsettling.
"What do we do now?" Ye Qingqing asked.
"Let An'an burn them to death," Lu Mo said.
Ye Qingqing was taken aback and shook her head vigorously, "This won't work, An'an's fire will burn the meat bun."
The poisonous buds are inside Roubao's belly and cannot be removed at the moment. An'an's fire must penetrate the skin to burn the poisonous buds, but this will inevitably hurt Roubao and may even endanger his life.
This is a strategy that would harm the enemy a thousand while damaging oneself eight hundred, which Ye Qingqing felt was unacceptable.
Lu Mo, however, was confident: "Of course, you can't burn it directly; you can use silver needles."
Ye Qingqing only had a vague understanding of silver needles.
"There's no time to explain. Just tell me what to do. Insert a few silver needles into the belly of the meat bun, make sure they're deep enough to surround the poisonous buds." Lu Mo gestured as he spoke. Ye Qingqing understood; she knew how to do it.
Following Lu Mo's instructions, a ring of silver needles was inserted, circling around the writhing belly, densely packed together.
Lu Mo whispered a few words in An An's ear, and An An nodded. Like Jing Jing, he reached out and placed his hand above the little bun's belly, secretly channeling his internal energy. Lu Mo also placed his hand on An An's back to channel his internal energy, so that the little guy would not be exhausted.
Jingjing meditated on the side, having taken the elixir prepared by Ye Qingqing, which allowed her to recover in a short time.
An An closed his eyes, and the heat in his palms grew higher and higher. The flames were invisible to the naked eye, but the temperature around him was slowly rising, and the silver needles were also quietly changing.
Lu Mo stared intently, then suddenly realized something was wrong and shouted, "An'an, stop!"
Ye Qingqing and Tie Dan, who were also completely focused, were startled and looked at Lu Mo in astonishment. What happened?
An'an stopped too. The temperature suddenly dropped. She looked at Lu Mo blankly, thinking that he hadn't done something right.
Lu Mo looked serious and let out a long breath. Fortunately, he reacted in time; otherwise, not only would the meat bun not have been saved, but other problems might have arisen.
"Pull out the silver needles!"
After a while, Lu Mo gave Ye Qingqing instructions.
Ye Qingqing was puzzled, but obediently pulled them out. The silver needles were still very hot, so she put on leather gloves and pulled them out one by one. The poisonous buds in the fleshy belly started to wriggle again. When An'an used her powers earlier, these poisonous buds seemed to know that danger was coming, and they did not move at all and were very quiet.
"The silver needle has bent, what happened?"
Ye Qingqing noticed something was wrong; the silver needles had all deformed.
Lu Mo smiled wryly, "It was my oversight. An'an's flames are pure white and the temperature is at least 1500 degrees Celsius. Silver's melting point is only about 1000 degrees Celsius, so it can't withstand An'an's fire."
"Would the gold needles work?"
“No, gold’s melting point is only a little over 1,200 degrees Celsius. We need to find a pure metal with a high melting point.” Lu Mo shook his head again.
Ye Qingqing was discouraged, "Then what metal has a high melting point?"
“Tungsten has a melting point of over 3,000 degrees Celsius; it’s the metal with the highest melting point,” Lu Mo said.
Tie Dan's eyes lit up. "The light bulbs are made of tungsten filaments. I'll go take the light bulbs apart."
As he was about to disassemble it, Lu Mo stopped him. The tungsten filament in the light bulb was too thin and too few, making it unsuitable for treatment. He needed to order a set of tungsten needles.
"I'll think of a way."
Lu Mo called He Weishao; that guy had connections and should be able to help.
