"Are you sure that's everything you need, Master Duyao?" Shen Rong seed to flinch every ti he spoke to the old woman. I guess his primal fears were overreacting to the point that they find this frail old lady a threat.
Considering that she could easily kill everyone here in the arena with a re wave of her hand, then I guess Shen Rong was right on his approach.
And here I was, sitting opposite of the old woman as we both faced the table. Apparently, she just wanted to test out with her Poison Elent and our competition wouldn't involve fighting. We would just exchange Poisons with each other and try to neutralize it with an antidote. If one cannot do it, then they would imdiately lose the match.
Considering all that, it's probably impossible for to lose right now... unless she knows of an out-of-this-world poison that even the System doesn't know.
Also, I just rembered sothing... she's called the Hundred Poison Lady, right? I guess I'll just call her that instead of 'old woman'.
The Hundred Poison Lady smirked at as she pulled out an old jar from her rucksack. "We'll start off with an easy one. If you can drink this without having any difficulty, then you can challenge with your poison. Now, are you going to go through all this suffering or are you willing to give up on my disciple?" The Hundred Poison Lady asked as she clicked her tongue.
Seriously, if she spat out another gum from her mouth one more ti, I might give her the most potent poison I have in my arsenal.
"It's not like I was trying to steal your disciple away from you. She was the one who wanted to co under my wing." I casually shrugged as I pulled out a bottle of water from my inventory. Well, not exactly my inventory since I bought it from the System Shop for ten shop coins.
And since I have most of the ingredients I need in my Storage Rings, I didn't have to gather herbs in the fields just to concoct one potion for the Hundred Poison Lady.
A few ters from where we were, the semi-finals were already starting. From what I heard, the match would be between Yuan Han and Wu Jia. Honestly, I don't know who the first one was, but the latter belonged to the party that won third place during our joint subjugation this morning. Sothing in my guts tells that it would be Wu Jia who will win but I didn't want to conclude just yet. I an, Yuan Han looked strong as well but I've never heard about him until now. Even his hunting party is unknown to .
"Kid, are you listening to ?" The Hundred Poison Lady looked more irritated than before so I decided to pay attention to her this ti. It would be bad news if she goes through a rampage, especially when there are thousands of people in the audience who ca from other neighboring shelters.
It would really put us in a bad light if a massacre were to happen in Red Sea Shelter.
Without further ado, I glanced at the antique jar and gave it a good whiff. Just from that one whiff alone I already knew what type of poison it was. It was the basics of the basics when it cos to poison and a lot of Poison Elent users are probably immune to it, judging by the commonness of it.
"This is a Fla Tongue Poison, one of the most common poisons found in the saliva of a Fla Tongue Lizard. This Fla Tongue Lizard is a Spirit Beast that is known for burning its victims into ashes. However, it doesn't burn them using fire, it burns them using an acid that is secreted in its tongue. The Fla Tongue Lizard got that na because the poison in its saliva makes the victim erupt into flas as soon as it touches its body." After that brief summary. I got the jar of the Fla Tongue Poison and stood up.
"When it cos to the Fla Tongue Poison, any Poison Elent user could easily obtain resistance from it. But the type of resistance they develop involves the stomach. A normal Poison Elent user would have no problem drinking the Fla Tongue Poison, to say the least." I continued.
"Yes, but that's useless knowledge. A beginner like you could never hope to " The Hundred Poison Lady comnted but I cut her short.
"BUT! A Cultivator of the Poison Elent wouldn't spread this Poison on their skin. Why? Because they could never develop a resistance to it. Sure they can drink it, but they cannot let their skin touch it. That's why the Fla Tongue Poison is a complicated type of poison."
A series of ooh's resounded all throughout the Coliseum as the audience finally realized the gravity of the situation. Simultaneously, I opened the jar in my hand and put the Poison in my hand.
