Soon after, Antonius recovered his vital signs, and his breathing and heartbeat became much stronger. The coconut water finally had some effect.
But he still didn't wake up, and Ansen couldn't wake him up even with Artemisia cross.
In fact, after Ansen relieved Snake Heart Stone of the anesthesia effect on Antonius, Antonius almost died...
The fact that he didn't wake up was not because Ansen's medical skills were incompetent, but because he was suffering from severe pain. It should be due to the body's self-protection that he remained comatose.
But even in a coma, it can still be seen that Antonius is enduring unimaginable torture.
His teeth were clenched, and he was breathing like a wounded beast. He kept making slight hissing sounds, and his body was shaking instinctively. Just looking at it made people feel uncomfortable.
Ansen and Li Ang have both seen this situation, and Red Death's late-stage patient had this reaction. The severe pain will make people still tremble in a coma. The only difference is probably that Antonius's skin does not seem to continue to ulcerate.
Fortunately, Li Ang still has a Snake Heart Stone in his hand - the one he got from Risadiran was given to Milgan Kilik, and the Snake Heart Stone he got from Misfortune Bringer in the Three Prophets camp is still here with Li Ang.
Only Snake Heart Stone can restore the painful Antonius to a sleeping state with the lowest consumption.
It seems that the person who used Snake Heart Stone on Antonius was actually trying to save him.
Obviously, I'm afraid I won't be able to communicate normally with Antonius in a short time. At the moment, he can only be regarded as a semi-vegetative state.
Faced with this situation, Ansen was helpless. He could only wrap Antonius's whole body and apply some ointment to try to treat his broken and pus-prone skin.
Although Antonius's condition has not deteriorated, it seems that his life can be saved. But since we can't wake him up and communicate with him, we can only rely on guesswork.
Just in time, Risadiran came back with Julia.
In order to verify his idea, Li Ang took Risadiran to Erudition City to find Red Death who was about to die of illness, and conducted a cruel human experiment.
Mainly I want to try and see if I can suppress Red Death with Noldo blood.
As a soldier, Noldo Elves does not refuse to shed a little blood, not to mention trying to save others.
But this experiment failed.
The patient had no reaction after being injected with Risadiran's blood, and died of Red Death one day later.
Perhaps, it is not a bad thing that this attempt failed - if it is determined that Noldo blood is a life-saving medicine for mankind, then the consequences may be more serious than Red Death itself...
And it is likely to have extremely twisted and perverted serious consequences.
However, although this human experiment was unsuccessful, a small episode after the experiment led to another breakthrough in the research on Red Death.
This experiment was conducted in an isolation area sealed off by the deportees. The isolation area was full of confirmed Red Death people.
And when Li Ang was sure that the experiment had failed and was riding out of the quarantine area, he and Risadiran were attacked by several guys infected with Red Death.
The patients who launched the attack recognized Risadiran as Noldo Elves, and they claimed that Red Death was brought by Noldo Elves - Ebony Gauntlet Knights has insisted for a long time, and Noldo Elves is indeed not susceptible to the disease, so many people thought that Red Death was created by Nodo.
Although the attack quickly ended with swords slashing the desperate patients to death, Li Ang and his party were all greatly affected.
Li Ang, Risadiran, Julia, and the two accompanying horses were all stained with the blood of those guys.
One of the horses is Alice, the mount of Li Ang.
Li Ang and Risadiran are not affected by a little blood on them, but Julia and Alice are not affected!
Although Alice is smart, it is just a horse after all. It does not know how to protect itself from viral infections, and horses cannot wear pants or shoes. There is a lot of Red Death human blood on its body.
As Risadiran's newly recruited guard, Julia followed the lord and Risadiran to Erudition City to complete the experiment. Although she took relatively complete protection, her hands were still soaked in blood when she tried to kill an enemy who rushed behind Li Ang during the battle.
There was nothing we could do about this. No one expected that the Red Death people would launch a sneak attack.
Risadiran almost planned to cut off Julia's hand in order to save her life. Fortunately, his sword had just cut an enemy and was covered in blood, so he didn't do it - of course, a sword stained with poisonous blood could not be used to complete the feat of a strong man cutting off his wrist.
But a few minutes later, Julia said that there was nothing wrong with her - in fact, her body showed no symptoms at all and she was still not infected.
Risadiran has indeed seen people who survived after being infected with Red Death, but Julia's situation is completely different, which is equivalent to not being infected at all.
In other words, Julia is a human without elf blood, but she is still completely immune to Red Death.
On the contrary, Alice developed obvious symptoms. Red spots appeared on the bloody horse's butt, and then it began to lose hair and develop sores.
A few hours later, a lot of abscesses appeared on Alice's buttocks. When the sores ruptured, pus and blood would flow out. Poor Alice kept moaning in Li Ang's arms.
However, Alice has always been raised to be fat and strong, and his resistance is probably very good. It seems that his condition has not deteriorated rapidly.
"Sir, what should I do? Alice looks like this..."
Hearing that something happened to Alice, Wendilf rushed over. She was usually very nice to Alice, although Alice always refused to talk to her because she was scared by grenades.
"I wonder if it will get better after drinking my blood..."
Li Ang was almost in tears, and was gesturing with a knife on his wrist to try to draw some blood for himself - he himself was immune to Red Death.
After making two gestures, he turned to look at Wendy's eyes, probably thinking that Wendy's blood might be more effective...
However, after looking at it for a few times, he finally gave up on this unreliable idea. He was also reluctant to let Wendy bleed... So he turned around and still looked for the angle of the knife on his arm.
Alice has rescued him several times and followed him on his expeditions to the north and south. The winds and waves have come. Unexpectedly, an accident happened to such an unworthy enemy. The lord is now going crazy with anxiety.
Li Ang is also a human being after all. When Alice is in danger, people like him will inevitably encounter times when their IQ temporarily drops.
"This is impossible... Sir, blood transfusion is useless, let alone drinking blood? Don't mess around, I don't want to treat your injuries."
Ansen snatched the trembling knife from Li Ang's hand and threw it aside.
However, although Ansen is a doctor, he is not a veterinarian. He cannot cure horses. Besides, Red Death has not found a suitable method yet...
"But I can't kill it, can I? It will be contagious! My poor Alice..."
Li Ang also knew that the idea of bloodletting was probably unreliable, but he was anxious... so he had to hold Alice's huge head and stroke the horse's neck to comfort him.
"Sir, why do I think there is nothing wrong with Alice... its butt seems to be scabbed."
Wendy observed closely for a while and suddenly said, "I don't think Alice is screaming in pain now? She used to jump around when she was in pain or frightened... Now she is screaming like she is hungry..."
"Huh?"
The lord took a half step back, held Alice's head and looked left and right, then stretched his neck and looked at the horse's butt.
Alice licked Li Ang's face twice, whined twice, and started to nudge his hand with his nose.
"Eh... yeah? Alice Are you okay?"
The lord has always fed the horses with his own hands, so of course he knows what Alice cupping his hand means - this really means he is hungry...
The horse's butt has indeed begun to scab, and Alice also wants to eat. It is obviously not a big problem. Horses are indeed more resistant than humans, and Red Death can also bear it...
Now that Alice was fine, the lord's IQ regained the high ground. He looked at the small scars on Alice's butt for a moment, then kissed Alice fiercely, and screamed excitedly.
"Ansen! Ansen... I may have found a way to deal with Red Death!"
Li Ang feels that he should have thought of it a long time ago, but because he has been disturbed by ideas such as cults, magic and witchcraft, he has never considered the scientific way that he should have considered most.
Julia is a normal human being who has never interacted with elves or other races for several lifetimes, but now she has no reaction to Red Death. Why is this?
The only difference between her and other humans is probably that her hands were once contaminated with the poisonous blood of Antonius, right?
Anyway, that's what the lord guessed.
In order to verify this guess, Ansen tried it with his own hands - this kind of experiment can only be tried on healthy people, and people like Lord Lord who are inherently immune will definitely not be able to do the experiment, but there are only so many people who have been contaminated with Antonius's blood.
So Ansen decided to go on it himself.
For this reason, he tied his wrists tightly so that the blood could not flow temporarily. He also specifically told the lord that if there was anything wrong, he would immediately cut off his hand.
If there are signs of infection, you may be able to save your life as long as you cut off the hand quickly enough so that the poisonous blood does not have time to flow to other parts of the body.
But this time, the experiment was successful.
Ansen I waited until my hands turned blue and swollen due to lack of blood circulation, but I still didn't have any Red Death symptoms.
"I roughly understand...Antonius is the antidote! His blood is the vaccine! The Red Death Virus in his body has lost its activity, but it can stimulate the body's immune system to resist Red Death Virus..."
The Lord Lord excitedly said words that no one could understand, but his expression was extremely exciting. "Ansen, I know how to control Red Death!"
"Sir, are you planning to use that Antonius... hiss... he has already lost a lot of blood. If everyone is infected with his blood... isn't it a bit too cruel?"
Although Ansen didn't know what smallpox was, nor did he understand words like 'immune system', he still understood the meaning of the Lord's words.
"No...Ansen, I haven't reached that point of being completely inhumane...Alice is also infected with Red Death, but Alice is as strong as But the war horses will not die from Red Death...Red Death is very similar to smallpox! Vaccines can be made from large cattle or horses! I should have thought of it earlier, but I have been thinking about magic and magic..."
Being infected with Antonius's blood is not contagious. This situation only gave Li Ang a reminder. What really prompted him to think of a solution was the acne that appeared after Alice was infected with Red Death.
Li Ang finally found a way to deal with Red Death using the method used by humans in another world to control smallpox - vaccination.
However, he did not use oxen, but horses.
That is to use those larger horses to actively infect Red Death, and then extract body fluids from the scabbed horses and drip them onto people.
The main reason why he didn't use oxen was because he had more horses - for this reinforcement trip south, he brought more than 2,000 horses.
Although the blood on Antonius's body can also have the same vaccine effect, it is a living person after all, and there is not much blood on his body...
Jocelyn That horse Gato Beast was recruited to serve as the first batch of vaccination carriers. That big guy has stronger resistance. The only impact Red Death had on it was that there were a few small bumps on the horse's body like mosquito bags...
The first human to try horsepox was also Jocelyn.
The former Twilight Knight has a more adventurous spirit and is quite active in things that can benefit all mankind - according to his own words, he believes that this can atone for the not-so-kind things he has done in the past.
After being inoculated with horsepox, Jocelyn developed some minor sores on his skin and had a low fever all night.
The next day, the sores on my skin scabbed, the fever went away, and I felt completely fine.
Then he tried to touch the Red Death person's blood in the Ansen way.
They succeeded.
Horsepox does make people immune Red Death.
The Lord has probably accumulated unimaginable merit this time - countless people will be protected from Red Death, if this vaccination method can be quickly promoted.
Speaking of rapid promotion, this reflects the role of Amy and Sarah...
The beautiful Princess Knight is very popular even in Bax. In places such as Erudition City and Calundru Castle, the popularity of Amy's team even exceeds that of Radiant Cross Knights.
Although they did not contribute much in controlling Red Death, in terms of promoting horsepox, all the troops under Li Ang plus Creon's exterminators, thousands of people, may not be as good as any team under Amy.
No matter where you are, most people are members of the appearance association after all...
With an all-female army, coupled with Sarah's affinity and persuasiveness, Amy and Griffin Claws easily convinced all the surrounding lords and tribunes. Not only did they quickly spread the method of making a vaccine using horsepox, they also helped the lords change their reputation.
The name Li Ang, around Erudition City and Calundru Castle, quickly changed from the big devil who eats children to Goddess of Order Eunomia's messenger--Sarah was very smart not to mention the protection and Goddess of Harvest Damia. After all, Li Ang is Lord Lion Territory.
Perhaps the publicity effect of Amy and Sarah is better. Li Ang soon heard this merit with his own ears...
Just after the effects of horsepox were quickly spread, a very familiar female voice appeared in Li Ang's ears, or in other words, appeared in her mind.
"Well done... boy, but beware... a more sinister enemy is peering into our territory."
This is the voice of Goddess of Order Eunomia, the same gentle female voice that originally told Li Ang to be careful behind you.
At the same time as this voice, there was also a reward. This reward came very obviously. Not only Li Ang, almost all the partners found that they seemed to become stronger at the same time.
Several other people thought that this was a physical manifestation of immunity to Red Death. They thought that the vaccine could make people stronger, so they had another reason to spread the vaccine.
But Li Ang knows that this is the encouragement given by Goddess of Order to people like him, and this is also the first time he has truly experienced the actual role of Goddess.
'Your Iron Bones skill has been improved and is currently level 10';
'Your First Aid skill has been improved, currently level 5'.
This is a long-lost system reminder. If it hadn't been for finding a way to prevent Red Death this time, Li Ang would have almost forgotten that he still had a system. Iron Bones directly rose to the highest level by 2 levels, while First Aid directly rose to 4 levels - this is probably because of Antonius.
'Your teammates' skills have been improved, you can check your teammates' skills'.
Several teammates' names lit up at the same time.
What Ansen has improved is healing, and the current level of healing is 9! It seems that treating diseases has also been classified as a healing skill, and finding a solution to Red Death is obviously extremely important to Goddess, and the increase is not small.
Ansen's Iron Bones has also increased, but it is still only level 2. The foundation is really too poor...
And Jocelyn Julia has been upgraded to Iron Bones, which is currently level 9 and level 6 respectively.
Amy and Sarah did not improve Iron Bones. They mainly improved their persuasiveness, and Amy also increased their command... It seems that Goddess is fair. Whatever he does will be improved.
Of course, Amy's command is not high, only level 4, but its persuasiveness is level 7;
And Sarah now has level 9 persuasiveness. It is obvious that the way they spread Eunomia's beliefs probably received extra care from Goddess...
Li Ang's own improved attributes are not many, but these improvements are unexpected gains, which are always a big surprise. And as long as everyone involved in this matter has basically improved, Goddess does seem to be fair.
It's just that Risadiran didn't get any benefit from having his blood drawn - probably because Noldo Elves is not under the control of Goddess of Order...
In fact, the lord feels that Alice should also receive a reward, but Li Ang's system is incomplete, the horse has no panel data, and no changes can be seen for the time being - Li Ang feels that Goddess may not use his divine power on the horse...
In fact, the lord is more concerned about the wording of Goddess Eunomia than improving his skills.
'A more evil enemy', and...
'Our territory'.
