Chapter 66 The Whereabouts of Realgar Powder

The next morning, Ethan sat up from the bed.

He was used to getting up early before the sun shone into the room.

After stretching, Ethan was attracted by the muscles on his body.

The lame craftsman summoned by the bodybuilding technique has been chiseling his right arm for a while.

And yesterday, the lame craftsman finally started chiseling Ethan's right wrist.

This means that Ethan's right arm will be carved soon.

He turned his wrist left and right twice, and there seemed to be no difference.

But the right arm was angular, and the muscle texture was very clear.

Touch it, it was hard.

goodjob~

After packing everything, he went downstairs.

The results of Flo University will be announced in three days.

There will be a special messenger to deliver the transcript and admission letter.

And Ethan plans to cultivate the first batch of mice during this period of time.

Entering the quality inspection room, the five mice fed yesterday were lying in the cage with dull eyes.

There was a layer of gray mouse hair at the bottom of the cage.

Some mice have a small bald spot on their bodies.

This is in stark contrast to the other mice that have not eaten the secret medicine of white mice.

Do they need to shave their hair again?

There are only 5 experimental subjects this time.

But unfortunately, Ethan found one that was already dead in the corner.

It seems that this secret medicine of white mice is not 100% successful.

After cleaning up these garbage, Ethan asked Bryant to transform into a physical body in an empty corner.

The most critical part of making snake venom potion is the selection of snake venom.

Generally speaking, the composition of snake venom is similar. The venom of pit viper and black mamba can make the receptor produce antibodies.

But because the venom of black mamba is too strong, even a small amount can threaten the life of the experimental subject.

In this way, the experimental subject will die before the body can produce antibodies.

Then the meaning of the experiment will no longer exist.

The pit viper is different. The toxicity is relatively mild, which allows the venom to have a buffer zone for the damage to the experimental subject.

Enough for the experimental subject to produce antibodies, and gradually become immune to snake venom over time, which means that antibodies have been produced in the body of the experimental subject.

Especially this time, the experimental subject Ethan chose was a small white mouse, which is relatively small and has poor resistance to snake venom.

A little carelessness will kill him.

However, the strong sensitivity to snake venom is conducive to rapid experimental conclusions.

So next, Ethan will look for snake venom with suitable toxicity.

It is best to have an individual with less toxicity but a larger amount of venom.

This depends on Bryant.

After saying hello to Old Occam, Ethan rode on Xiaobai and walked towards the wilderness closest to Turing City.

Not far south of Turing City is the entrance to the foggy world.

Because the foggy bandits of the Sons of Chaos have been rampant recently, Turing City has opened a curfew.

The federal government's police department has set up checkpoints on the road leading to the foggy world.

That means Ethan must return to the city before dark.

This is enough for him.

After all, he knows snake language, and Bryant is there to help him.

Stepping into the mist again, Ethan felt a long-lost joy in his heart.

Looking at the world on the other side of the mist, the same beautiful mountains and rivers, although full of dangers, made Ethan feel a sense of freedom and comfort.

I don't know when it started, the misty world was no longer a fear in Ethan's eyes, but a yearning instead.

Enjoying the ease of the misty world, Ethan swore secretly.

One day he will have his own ruins.

In an unmanned corner, Ethan raised his right hand, and Bryant came out slowly with a snake tongue.

It knew the purpose of Ethan's trip.

So it took the lead and walked in front.

After hunting in the misty world for a period of time, it found a nest where snakes gathered.

It was nearby, and there were all kinds of snakes in the snake group, so it was sure to find the right snake venom.

After walking for about half an hour.

A three or four meter wide road appeared in front of Ethan.

After walking along the road for a while, Ethan found the nest Bryant mentioned in a low-lying valley.

This is a valley formed by a collapsed hill. Because it is backed by a high mountain road, it is dark and humid all year round.

And in the place where there are rocks, Ethan saw a cave half a person high.

When they saw Ethan appear, the two cobras at the entrance of the cave stood up immediately.

"Hiss~"

Ethan made a calm gesture.

Perhaps they heard the movement, and when several snakes saw Bryant, they were like a great enemy and swam away very restlessly.

Not long after, the snakes appeared densely at the entrance of the cave.

To be honest, it was the first time that Ethan faced so many snakes, and his scalp was numb.

The leader of the snake group was a black viper as thick as an arm, and the length was more than two meters.

Ethan stated his purpose, and the group of snakes was still very wary.

After Bryant's negotiation, they let down their guard a little.

The other party did not directly reject it, but just asked Ethan to agree to one of their requests.

Get their holy object back.

It turned out that this group of snakes had been living in a tomb on another mountain not far away. The holy object they had guarded for generations was a bead that glowed faintly in the dark night.

But not long ago, a group of uninvited guests suddenly came.

They seemed to be looking for something in the tomb passage.

A yellow powder was scattered all over the mountains, and the smell was very unpleasant. They couldn't stand it and moved here.

When Ethan heard this, his heart suddenly tightened.

Yellow powder?

Could it be realgar powder?

Snakes are afraid of the smell of realgar, which is well known.

Ethan was in a state of panic, and it was most likely the Misty Mountain Bandits of the "Chaos Disciples".

But I haven't heard that the "Chaos Disciples" also work part-time as tomb robbers.

What you fear will come true.

Ethan was almost certain that the yellow powder was the finely ground realgar powder that Occam bought from Dante City.

But why did they go to such great lengths to drive all the snakes out?

And Viper also said that although the other party was not very familiar with the tomb passage, he seemed to be looking for something.

Is there any secret there?

The more I thought about it, the more I felt there was a problem.

What was more surprising was that the cemetery had collapsed over the years, and a crack appeared on the tomb passage. These snakes found the cemetery from there and settled there.

Later, the snakes deliberately covered the entrance of the crack with bushes.

That is, the group of people would not find the crack, and Ethan could quietly avoid contact with them.

This was exactly what Ethan wanted.

This trip was to find the sacred objects of the snakes first. If we could find out the details of the other party, it would be the best.

After Ethan asked about the location and the location of the secret passage, he rode Xiaobai and took Bryant to the mountain.
