Before he could finish speaking, Hyuga Kagami realized it himself. His face immediately darkened as he muttered, "That guy was a pig to begin with!"
The venom sacs in the snake carcasses were lethally poisonous to beasts that could not use chakra. There had been no chakra flowing through that scruffy little boar's body at all, so if it ate the snake corpses, it would surely die!
But whether the snakes poisoned the pig or the pig ate the snakes, it was all part of the natural cycle.
Hyuga Kagami had no time to worry about such trivial matters. After putting away the venom sacs he had just acquired, he immediately began searching for other poisons.
After working for an entire morning, Hyuga Kagami had collected venom sacs and poison glands from more than a dozen poisonous creatures.
On his way home with a full haul, he also bought some white mice at the market.
Creating compound toxins was not as simple as mixing every poison together.
Different poisons had different properties. Mixing them carelessly could sometimes fail to increase their toxicity and instead neutralize part of it, reducing the toxin's lethality.
Therefore, compound toxins often required extensive data from live-subject experiments before they could be formulated.
Formulation...
Experimentation...
Recording...
Hyuga Kagami spent nearly the entire afternoon painstakingly occupied with these tasks.
Yet the results were far from satisfactory.
The poisons of the creatures in the Forest of Death were still somewhat too weak. They could not instantly kill even the experimental white mice, let alone chakra-wielding ninjas.
Still, Hyuga Kagami had not gained nothing. At the very least, he discovered that one species of moth possessed a toxin with an extremely powerful paralytic effect, while another species of venomous scorpion had venom that accelerated blood circulation.
If those two
