"It's good. This medicine can stimulate our immune systems and help flush the potent poison from my body."
Shark Fin Head spoke comfortably. He was the oldest of the three adult Lizardmen in Great Serpent Valley, and most of the young Lizardmen here were his children.
But for some unknown reason, large amounts of toxins had accumulated in his kidneys over the past few years and could not be expelled. Symptoms such as fever, rapid heartbeat, and difficulty breathing occurred from time to time.
At first, he had not paid much attention to it, because his body was strong. It was only when the toxins accumulated further, the symptoms worsened, and even his immune system could not clear them out that he realized the severity of the problem.
He also discovered that he was not the only one. All the Lizardmen had the same symptoms. Their health was being eroded by an undegradable toxin.
It was a chronic poison. After enough time passed, it caused declining intelligence, memory loss, and an inability to concentrate.
All the Lizardmen realized that this had to be the work of humans—targeted poisoning.
But there was nothing they could do about it, because their medical knowledge was practically nonexistent. They had survived in nature purely by relying on their powerful physiques.
Now, when he caught the pungent smell of the liquid Huang Ji had scattered around, he immediately felt that it could help him detoxify.
Just smelling it had greatly eased the tightness in his chest. A cool sensation rushed from his nasal cavity to his brain, instantly clearing his muddled, sluggish mind.
That was why, when he saw Huang Ji holding the medicine jar and nearly getting both his head and the jar pierced through, Shark Fin Head acted instantly and saved the jar.
