A Remarkable Effect
"Let me make this clear first: I am not personally responsible for the efficacy of the medicine. If you experience any problems after taking it, don't come to me for help!"
Laboratory drugs need to undergo multiple animal tests before they can be initially opened for formal human testing.
The process from theory to practical use is quite lengthy, with some drugs potentially undergoing testing for several years to more than a decade.
Normally, no one would take a drug that would absolve the provider of liability.
But it's not just Zhong Rang needs saving; a large group of ferocious beasts are also clashing in the center.
If one could be as fearless of snakes as Zhong Rang, and seemed to possess boundless power, then everyone would indeed covet this area.
Even Ren Yisheng's eyes lit up as he stared at the spot where the white elephant had been.
"It's rare for ferocious beasts to engage in a major battle, so the opportunity to intervene should be within seconds," Ren Yisheng said in a low voice.
"These ferocious beasts have the ability to disguise themselves, and I wonder if there are any Black Tortoise ferocious beasts among them," Zhou Rihui murmured as well.
The transformative abilities of tiger-shaped beasts bring too much uncertainty. No one can be sure what these beasts are really like under their tiger skins, nor can they rule out whether these beasts are what they need.
If a ferocious beast were to appear right before one's eyes and be missed, many people would undoubtedly regret it for the rest of their lives.
The choice between taking a radical and risky path and living a life of regret is not difficult.
Aside from Qimeng Haige and Changkong Luo, who weren't in need, the others were more or less driven by a degree of fanaticism.
However, the key to whether the hunt will be successful lies with Changkong Luo and Qimeng Haige.
In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to the two of them.
"You're in good health. I'm too injured to handle these stimulants. I even hunted an eight-legged spider beast for you as a way of repaying your life-saving kindness. We're even now," Chimmon Hagrid said first.
"Can this drug really keep you conscious?"
Changkong Luo frowned.
Not only Changkong Luo, but also Changkong Yinghao and Changkong Yinglian are not lacking in ferocious beast extracts.
The three of them were already quite loyal by Zhong Rang; there was no need for them to wade into the high-risk waters of fighting ferocious beasts.
Changkong Luo had seen Zhou Rihui smash things indiscriminately after being injected with drugs. Once the other party found a target, he would fight to the death, either killing the other person or killing himself.
If someone is there to protect you, that's fine, but if no one is watching over you, the risk is obviously extremely high.
Especially since these people are entering their twilight years, their mental state is generally not good, and they can't withstand this kind of torment.
However, apart from the Changkong Lineage being unwilling to get involved in the mess, and Zuo Lianguang's conservative approach after successfully hunting the ferocious beast, everyone else appears aggressive.
As the former leader of these people, Changkong Luo felt considerable pressure.
Participating in the action is risky, while not participating will draw criticism and may even disqualify one from leading the elderly residents' home.
If others manage to enter the Seventh Sequence by luck, other factions will inevitably form in the Twilight Mansion, and if someone dies in it, the cause will inevitably point to Changkong Luo.
After much deliberation, Changkong Luo could only quickly trace the origin of this opportunity to gain entry into the system.
"We've seen the reaction of Zhou Rihui after the drug injection, Zhong Rang is a prime example right before our eyes," Changkong Luo said solemnly, frowning. "If the reaction after taking the drug is one of these two scenarios, not only will our hunt not be successful, but the probability of us being wiped out by the ferocious beast group will be quite high!"
"My blood is boiling, and my mind is crystal clear!"
The first person to test continuous drug use was Zhou Rihui. Having taken similar drugs before and possessing a young and strong physique, Zhou Rihui was not hesitant about taking the drug, especially since Ren Yisheng frequently asked him to.
He swallowed three pills in succession and felt incredibly hot all over, becoming excited in a short time.
However, compared to previous medications, his mind was still very clear.
"But..."
"But what? Is it difficult to stabilize one's mind?"
Zhou Rihui felt that the oral medication stimulated his body, possibly reducing the pain and the damage from the snake venom, while also keeping him conscious. However, he vaguely sensed that something else was involved beyond these effects.
He had suffered several injuries, had been treated with Supreme Purity True Technique, and had undergone recuperation.
Zhou Rihui felt that his body was perfectly normal and healthy, but after taking the medication, he felt as if something was extending through his limbs.
This brought him a deeper sense of well-being, as if he had broken free from constraints.
He carefully savored this feeling, sensing a familiar memory in his mind, yet finding it difficult to recall.
It wasn't until Changkong Luo urgently asked a question that Zhou Rihui suddenly came to his senses.
"My dad once said that the Qinmeng Secret Stone can heal old injuries and wounds. This medicine seems to bring about the feeling of healing old injuries and wounds, those injuries that we can't usually see but that actually affect us," Zhou Rihui said, pursing his lips.
How could one drug possibly have so many effects?
Just as Changkong Luo was still in disbelief, a soft cry of surprise came from Li Qi.
Li Qi was beaten half to death a few hours earlier, but was cured by the Supreme Purity True Technique and continued to take nutritional supplements.
He felt that his internal injuries had healed, but his body felt like a dry twig, as if it were brittle.
But after taking the medication, he felt as if a vibrant life force had been injected into his body.
As Zhou Rihui said, some hidden wounds in his body are healing, and he is now fully conscious and can clearly feel these changes in his body.
"I feel my body can still handle the effects of the medicine. Can I take a little more?" Li Qi asked.
"Does it really work for you?"
Zhou Rihui's demonstration was not very effective, but Li Qi's demonstration was truly effective. Even Qi Meng Haige came over and examined Li Qi's body through the dim light.
"I'll try taking another one!"
The stability and benefits of the drug correspond to attitude. Seeing that Li Qi was still seeking more drugs, Changkong Luo reacted quickly and changed his attitude to test it himself in a short time.
He reached out and took the medicine from Zhang Xuezhou, but instead of swallowing it directly in the dark as before, he used the light of a searchlight to observe it.
It was a dark red, hard lump about the size of a fingernail, with a slightly filthy, fishy, and pungent odor.
Changkong Luo glanced at it, and after recognizing the filth, he felt a slight urge to vomit that had been lingering in his throat.
"Don't look at the ingredients when taking medicine, or you won't be able to take it!"
Changkong Luo's expression changed noticeably. Zhang Xuezhou looked up at him, then continued cutting with the knife.
Herbs grown in snake dens cannot be cleaned properly without water.
Zhang Xuezhou was unsure whether the outer skin of this stem tuber had any special medicinal effects, so he did not rashly peel it off.
However, he was certain that the medicinal herbs that had grown by absorbing the aura of the Qin Meng Secret Stone must have been blessed with Spiritual Qi, and having been affected by the snake pit, these herbs also possessed a rather unique ability to resist snake venom.
He cut it repeatedly, making sure the whole piece was completely intact. As for how everyone distributed and consumed it, that was up to them to take as they saw fit.
He opened his palm, and even Changkong Kong Yinghao silently took three pieces, swallowed them whole without looking at them.
"It really works wonders!"
Changkong Kong Yinglian whispered again. Her body had been pierced by a feather the thickness of a chopstick. After treatment, the wound was gone, but Changkong Kong Yinglian always felt a little weak. Her gene power seemed to be slightly weaker, and even taking nutritional supplements did not restore her to normal.
At that moment, she felt her body instantly fill with energy.
When the genetic power sank into her body and exerted its force, Changkong Kong Yinglian felt that the strength in her arms had inexplicably increased by two points.
This is a situation she had previously sought but could not obtain, and it also proves that her physical condition is now more robust and healthier than before.
If her body could continue to function at this vigorous pace, Changkong Kong Yinglian felt confident enough to try her luck by taking the beast extract.
