Chapter 147: Chapter 117: Teng Jiao Saliva and Poison Source [Two-in-One]_2

...

The group quickly returned to the camp.

"There’s a large snake!"

"It’s huge."

"The leader hunted three of them?"

"Not three, just one. It was cut into three parts."

"So terrifying..."

As soon as they carried the three parts of the serpent into the camp, it drew a crowd of onlookers.

The adults were unfazed, just pointing and commenting.

Some of the children, however, hid behind the adults, scared yet eager to look; some of the younger ones were even frightened to tears.

"Leader, leave it to us to handle!"

Shi Ping walked up through the crowd and, after Xia Chuan gestured, took the serpent’s body from Luo Yuan and the others.

The Hunting Team now handed over all the game they brought back to the Camp Supply Station for processing.

Xia Chuan was the Camp Supply Officer, but he was also a member of the Hunting Team, so he usually let Shi Ping and others handle these chores.

However, before Shi Ping could leave, Xia Hong called him back.

"The serpent’s body is dangerous. Wait for me to handle it."

Shi Ping nodded immediately. Though the Camp Supply Station had plenty of experience processing prey, the serpent was a new type of game, so Xia Hong’s special instructions were to be followed.

Xia Hong didn’t rush to handle the serpent’s body but first returned to the second floor of the wooden house with Xia Chuan, Luo Yuan, and others.

Upon reaching the second-floor main hall, Xia Chuan put Yuan Cheng, who was on his back, down.

Xia Hong moved closer, examined his back, and saw that most of the sores had scabbed over. He breathed a sigh of relief and took some Teng Jiao Saliva from his pack to apply.

"Have someone specially take care of him here and wait for him to wake up!"

Xia Chuan nodded, knowing he didn’t even need to find someone himself.

Yuan Cheng’s mother, Xu Lan, had already been waiting anxiously nearby with a worried face.

While others were focused on the game, Xu Lan’s eyes were only on her severely injured and comatose son. With so many people downstairs, she hadn’t been able to get close. Now she finally heard Xia Hong wanted someone to care for her son, so she rushed over immediately.

"Auntie, don’t worry, Cheng is okay. He should wake up soon."

Seeing Xu Lan gently stroke Yuan Cheng’s scabbed wounds, wiping away tears.

Beside her, Xia Chuan quickly offered some comfort.

Meanwhile, Xia Hong, holding that lump of slime, had already gone to the second-floor Alchemy Room alone.

The Alchemy Room was empty, with only a Medicine Decoction Pot in the middle and a large array of neatly categorized wooden cabinets against the wall.

Xia Hong went to the Medicine Decoction Pot, opened the lid, scooped a bit of the slime, and put it in.

[Unknown item, usable for medicine, appraisal cost: Coal 50]

Tsk...

Seeing the appraisal price, Xia Hong couldn’t help but click his tongue.

"Last time, Cheng Feng’s appraisal of Blue Frost Grass cost only 20 units. Yet this slime’s appraisal fee is this high!"

50 units of coal resources convert to a thousand pounds of coal stone.

[Camp: Great Xia (Level 0)]

[Lord: Xia Hong]

[Population: 1096]

[Resources: Wood 28275 Coal 322 Iron 120 Silver 0 Gold 0]

[Activated Buildings 4: Iron Refining Furnace (Level 2) Wooden Mannequin (Level 1) Medicine Decoction Pot (Level 1) Polishing Stone (Level 1)]

[Inactive Buildings 5: Green Bamboo Fence, Marking Stone, Yellow Earth, Small Wooden Table, Rough Iron Chain]

The resources were not unaffordable. As the Earth-digging Realm’s population grew and the new buildings were completed, the aggregation speed of coal and iron resources had increased significantly.

If not for forging that giant axe yesterday, which used 280 units, the surplus of iron resources would still be a bit more than coal.

"The new house has only been built for three days, and now we have two Chewing Teeth Chisels. The coal and iron income will only increase moving forward. 50 points it is then. The more it costs, the more useful it is likely to be. Moreover, it might even be the key to dealing with the Rodent swarm!"

Although it hurt a bit, Xia Hong still promptly invested 50 units of coal resources into the Medicine Decoction Pot.

As the coal stone went in, the Medicine Decoction Pot radiated a burst of light, and information about the slime also surfaced in Xia Hong’s mind.

[Name: Teng Jiao Saliva]

[Usable as a supplementary material for preparing Dan Medicine; can be applied to cure external wounds caused by Teng Jiao Poison; can be sniffed to alleviate Teng Jiao Poison Mist in the body]

As expected, the first and second uses of the Teng Jiao Saliva were as Xia Hong had guessed.

This slime had a peculiar fragrance, so it wasn’t surprising it could be used as a supplementary material to prepare Dan Medicine. Its application on Yuan Cheng’s back resulted in the immediate healing of his festering wounds, which confirmed the second function.

Only the third had Xia Hong furrow his brows slightly. fгeewebnovёl.com

It could merely be sniffed to alleviate, not cure.

In other words, it only slightly improved the effect of covering one’s face with a damp cloth, allowing someone to endure the Teng Jiao Poison Mist for a longer time.

It couldn’t completely block the poison mist’s effects on people.

"It seems like other supplementary materials are needed to refine it into a Dan Medicine!"

Xia Hong’s expression slightly tensed as he looked at the medicinal resources recorded by the Medicine Decoction Pot, which had already reached over forty kinds. Yet, currently, the only formed formula remained the Golden Sore Powder. He couldn’t help but shake his head in resignation.

The Medicine Decoction Pot automatically synthesized formulas based on appraised materials.

"Luck sure isn’t on our side. Cheng Feng has collected over twenty types of medicinal materials during this time, and yet no formula can be synthesized!"

Xia Hong didn’t blame Cheng Feng. Judging from the over twenty types of medicinal materials he had brought back in this period, it was clear the Collection Team wasn’t shirking their duties. The main issue was that there weren’t many with pharmaceutical knowledge in the team.

If there were some pharmacological knowledge, they could possibly bring back related medicinal materials through association, which might slightly increase the probability of synthesizing a formula.
