Verse 31: The truth about poisoning

Needle looked around, seeing that everyone's emotions had stabilized, and there was a light of hope in their eyes, which made him feel a little relieved.

Then, he ordered Huang Zao to command everyone to start rebuilding the camp, while forming a cordon and laying defensive traps.

Inside the tent, gold, whiskers, purple stems, and cyanobacteria gathered together again.

Cangxu spoke first, ashamed and admitting his mistake: "It's all my fault! I didn't expect the flesh and blood of the goat to be poisonous, and I blinded my sanity for the benefit in front of me. When I find that the size of the flock is too large, I should be aware of the strangeness and be wary of the possible risks!"

Needle shook his head slightly and said with relief: "This island is dangerous and weird, and we all want to get more food. It's not your fault alone, Mr. Cangxu." As the leader, I am even more to blame. However, it is worthless to dwell on these faults now. Think about it, how do we solve this problem?"

Cangxu sighed and expressed his opinion: "Now everyone is poisoned by cold poison, and this cold poison is very peculiar. On the surface, as long as you stay a distance from here, the cold poison will attack. But in fact, I think it's because of the temperature."

"This place is close to the snow peak, the temperature is low, and the cold poison does not attack. After we turned away from the snowy peaks, the farther we went, the higher the temperature. After reaching a certain level, the cold poison on the body will be triggered."

"There is the most direct evidence of this view, and that is shearling! When we take off the shearling coat on our body, the temperature of the body drops rapidly, and the symptoms of cold poison are greatly reduced."

"The above is everything I know about cold poison."

After Cang Xu finished speaking, his eyes turned to Zi Di.

Not only him, but also Needle Gold and Cyanobacteria all looked at Purple Stem.

In fact, everyone knows that the problem involves toxins, and Zidi is the one who has the most say as a pharmacist.

Since Zidi regained her mobility, she began to test potions using mutton, her own blood, etc.

At this moment, she was holding a glass test tube in her hand and was carefully pouring a kind of particle into it.

The test tube originally contained a liquid similar to blood, but after the particles were integrated, it suddenly seemed to be boiled water, and a large number of bubbles popped out.

Finally, with a soft bang, the entire test tube exploded directly.

The bright red liquid inside spilled on the carpet in the tent.

Zidi didn't care about the liquid, she leaned down, her bright purple eyes widened, and carefully squeezed the small particles on the carpet with her fingers.

After a dozen breaths, she collected a lot of particles and gathered them in the palm of her hand.

She examined the small particles carefully.

Immediately, she keenly discovered that there were various cracks on these small particles, and these cracks were not transparent and simple cracks, but had a clear gray color.

Seeing this, Zi Di's eyes lit up: "Everyone, I think I found the real reason."

"Oh? What kind of cold poison?" Needle inquired.

Zidi shook his head slightly: "In fact, goat meat is not poisonous. Before consuming lamb, I have tested it in a variety of ways to be safe. The result is not wrong, mutton is indeed non-toxic."

Everyone wondered: "Then what happened to us? Could it be something else that poisons us?"

Zidi shook her head again: "It's the problem caused by these goat meats."

The doubts on the faces of Needle and Cyanoalgae became even stronger.

But Cang Xu had a flash of inspiration in his mind and blurted out: "Is it an imbalance of magic?"

"Yes, that's exactly why." Zidi sighed, and then explained in detail.

"This place is close to the snow peak, and the concentration of frost elements in the surrounding environment is very high."

"The goat herd survives and thrives here, and the frost element in the air penetrates into their bodies. If these goats are natural creations, they can coordinate magic in their bodies and accumulate orderly magic power. When this stable magic power accumulates more and more, it will change and condense to form magic crystals."

"But according to what we guessed before, these goats are all man-made, and although their flesh and blood structure is stable, they do not have the function of magic coordination. They have always been protected by the Forbidden Demon Environment."

"The frost element in the goat's body cannot be perfectly and naturally digested and absorbed, although it can be transformed into magic, but this magic is very chaotic and contradictory. Not only can it not form magic crystals, but it also has a characteristic, that is, when the temperature is low, it is relatively stable and quietly lurking in the body. When the temperature reaches a certain level, it will suddenly erupt, forming symptoms similar to cold poison."

"I thought I was poisoned by cold before, so I took the antidote potion mainly made of fire elemental materials, but the magic of the fire attribute in the potion stimulated the magic of the ice attribute even more. Under the two conflicts, I passed out on the spot."

Zidi paused and continued: "Because of this, after we take off our shearling coat, our body temperature drops rapidly, and the magic of the ice attribute tends to be stable and restrained again, so our condition will improve quickly."

"So that's how it is." After hearing this analysis, everyone couldn't help but suddenly realize.

This situation is actually very common in the practice of transcendent people.

For example, when the mage was meditating, there was a mistake, the ice element did not succeed in converting mana, and after eroding the whole body, it was cold poison in the body, and even the whole body was frozen.

Fury practitioners, such as warriors, knights, swordsmen, etc., eat the meat of magical beasts or take potions, but they cannot digest the huge magic in it, and they will also form a backlash.

Not only in practitioners, but in nature, this phenomenon is more common.

If a fishman who has lived in the sea for a long time enters the desert in broad daylight, his skin will dry or even crack, and he will be sluggish. This is because the desert during the day is full of fire elements, light elements, etc., and the fishmen are immersed in such an environment and inevitably absorb the light element and fire element. Although these elements are not actively absorbed, they form magic in the surface layer of the skin. These magic powers clash with the water element magic built in the fishman's body, which will cause symptoms of dry and cracked skin and lethargy.

In the north, a lush sycamore tree suddenly ushered in a snowstorm. After the blizzard, all the leaves of the plane tree fell, leaving only bare branches, and frostbite occurred in many places. This is the sudden surge of the ice element, causing the erosion of magical power.

Correspondingly, there are many ways to combat magical erosion in nature.

For example, the green pine in the snow can maintain the stability of its own wood magic in an environment rich in ice elements.

For example, rhinos in the savannah, in order to resist the scorching sun, often roll in the mud to build mud armor to resist the scorching sun. It also prevents mosquito bites. This is to construct a layer of earth-based magic power, replace one's own skin, and conduct a war of attrition to defend against the erosion of magic from the outside world.

"Wait, according to Master Zi Di's explanation, aren't these muttons all good things? On the surface, these looked like ordinary animal meat, but in fact they contained magical power, and they could be regarded as magical animal meat. Warcraft meat is an expensive cultivation resource!" As a grassroots bronze elite, cyanobacteria were very sensitive to cultivation resources, and quickly exhaled in a low voice.

Indeed, in the process of fighting qi cultivation, there is a great demand for the flesh and blood of demonic beasts.

For example, people who practice fire fighting qi usually have to eat fire-attribute magical beast meat.

On the one hand, magical beast meat is rich in nutrients, and long-term consumption will enhance the practitioner's own life foundation.

On the other hand, the magic of the fire attribute is contained in the flesh of the demonic beast. After the vindictive practitioner ate the magical beast meat, the magic in the food also penetrated into the practitioner's body. If left unchecked, these foreign magic will bring harm. But when practitioners use the fire-type fighting qi technique, they can quickly absorb and transform these magical powers, which not only eliminates hidden dangers, but more importantly, allows their fighting spirit to increase.

Hearing cyanobacteria's words, Cangxu nodded slightly and agreed: "According to what you said, this possibility does exist."

"The difference between magical beast meat and ordinary meat lies in whether it contains magical power."

"It's just that compared with normal demonic beast meat, the magic contained in these muttons is more special. When the temperature is very low, the magic is quite restrained and lurks deep in the body, which is relatively stable. When the temperature reaches a certain level, the magic will show the nature of chaos, and the magic will burst out, which will pose a threat to the life of the eater."

"If an ice-type fighting spirit technique is quite good and can withstand and transform these ice-type magical powers, then these goat meats are valuable magical beast meat for these people."

"It's just...... These people are probably not many." Needle Jin looked thoughtful.

The Fighting Qi Technique is a method of building the coordination, balance, and circulation of magical power in one's own body in the form of fighting qi.

There are many fighting techniques, and the quality is uneven.

Excellent fighting skills not only require the talent of the pioneers, but also need to be perfected from generation to generation. Those that occupy the best fighting qi technique on the top of the tower, and are recognized, are extremely few, and ten fingers can count them. For example, the Holy Ming's cultivation of the Holy Emperor, the polar blizzard fighting spirit of the Ice Roar Duke, and the fiery fighting spirit of the Curved Sun Knife Saint.

The better the fighting qi technique, the more efficiently it can absorb the magic power in the transformation of demonic beast meat.

Under normal circumstances, the magic power in the flesh of the demonic beast is relatively balanced and stable, and after processing, the speed of escape is not fast. These magical powers are easy to perceive and easily absorb and transform.

But goat meat is clearly not normal.

Goats themselves are not a natural product. The richness of the magic contained in their bodies far exceeded their life level. The structure in the goat herd was also chaotic, the vast majority were ordinary beasts, and only a few were bronze-level beings.

Continuing to dig deeper, once the magic in goat meat explodes, it can make bronze-level cyanobacteria and yellow algae immobilized. But when they are silent and restrained, neither needle gold, cyanobacteria nor purple stems can be sensed by others.

These two characteristics of the magic structure respectively raised the requirements of the ice fighting spirit by a large margin.
