140: Chapter 140: The Antidote is Complete! The Entire Audience is Shocked
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zhou Ya arrived at the test bench.
Her throat moved slightly, fine beads of sweat appeared on her nose, and her hand trembled as she placed it on the palm print area.
The palm print recognition only took two seconds, but to Zhou Ya, it felt like a very long time had passed.
Identification successful. The cover on the test bench slowly opened, and a thick white mist wafted out, scaring the surrounding Breeders into retreating.
After all, if the test result was bad, the emitted odor could be toxic.
But Zhou Ya did not retreat; she stood quietly, facing the white mist.
When the white mist dissipated, revealing the potion inside, her pupils contracted sharply, and she let out an involuntary low moan.
"How is it?"
"Little girl, did it succeed or not? You're so slow..."
"If you dawdle like this, be careful that you won't even get to eat the hot stuff."
"..."
Zhou Ya ignored them, or rather, she hadn't heard the words of the people around her at all. In her eyes, there was only that potion which had become transparent.
The potion was originally brownish-green, containing both the antidote and the blood toxin.
Now, the blood toxin had been broken down; the potion was as transparent as clear water, pure, clean, and carrying a faint, complex floral fragrance.
She grabbed the potion, and the warm sensation made her tremble slightly. Immediately, she turned her head and looked at the pairs of scrutinizing, urgent eyes.
Finally, her gaze rested on Li Yu, landing on his eyes, which held both gentleness and encouragement.
A powerful sense of pride erupted in her heart.
She took a deep breath, raised the potion, and shouted: "The test is a success! The blood toxin has been neutralized!"
As soon as these words were spoken, silence fell all around.
Director Wang and Liu Zhanxing widened their eyes, and the group of Breeders were all stunned.
"Ho-, how is that possible..."
The Bald Old Man muttered to himself and instinctively walked towards Zhou Ya. However, a tsunami-like exclamation erupted from the crowd. They swarmed and rushed towards Zhou Ya, wanting to see the result of the potion. This shoving directly trampled the Bald Old Man under their feet.
Screams echoed.
With great difficulty, and under the shouting of Director Wang and Liu Zhanxing, and the protection of Li Yu and Supervisor Song, the Breeders finally calmed down, and Zhou Ya and the reagent were able to survive.
"Li Yu, so, it really succeeded?" Director Wang's voice carried an uncontrollable tremor.
Li Yu smiled and said: "Yes, it succeeded."
Director Wang asked again: "What about side effects?"
The surrounding Breeders held their breath, wanting to know Li Yu's answer.
Li Yu blinked and asked in confusion: "What decent person researches things with side effects?"
The Bald Old Man had just been helped up from the ground by a Guardian and had just climbed to his feet when he heard Li Yu's words. His face turned flushed on the spot, and he spat out a mouthful of blood with a "pfft," his whole spirit wilting.
"Th-, that..." Director Wang was so excited that his breathing became rapid; he grabbed Li Yu tightly with both hands, unable to speak.
Liu Zhanxing couldn't watch any longer and helped him ask: "What about the production cost?"
"The material cost is about 200 yuan. They are all common materials. The key lies in the ratio, but the formulation isn't difficult; any Breeder can do it well."
"Good, good, good, that's great..."
Director Wang wept with joy, hugging Li Yu one moment, then Liu Zhanxing the next, and even Supervisor Song couldn't escape.
When he wanted to hug Zhou Ya, he was grabbed by Li Yu, only then did he apologize belatedly.
Seeing that he was a bit muddled from excitement, Li Yu ignored him and took Zhou Ya, who carried the potion, to the front of the Sky-Shattering Fire Dragon.
Zhang Erniu had been guarding here the whole time. Seeing him arrive, she hurriedly stood up, looking at him with red, swollen eyes and thick dark circles.
"It will be ready soon." Li Yu smiled.
"I am counting on you..." Zhang Erniu's voice was hoarse.
Li Yu smiled.
These past 5 days, he had been researching day and night. The others hadn't been able to get a good night's sleep either. Li Meng had been processing materials and had just fallen asleep from exhaustion a while ago. Zhang Erniu had been busy grinding medicine, her hands worn raw and wrapped in layer after layer of gauze.
Even the several beasts, the Sky-Shattering Fire Dragon, the Blazing Fire Crow, and the others, had not been able to escape the drug testing phase, and had been tortured by the poison for the past few days to the point of almost dying.
After injecting the potion into the Sky-Shattering Fire Dragon, Li Yu stepped back.
Zhang Erniu and Zhou Ya also retreated.
Other Breeders wanted to step forward to observe, but they were all stopped.
In a short while, blood-red mist emerged from the Sky-Shattering Fire Dragon. Within the churning mist, hideous ghost-face patterns appeared, twisting with the wind, full of ferocity.
A gust of wind blew by, and the mist actually emitted a "whooshing" sound, as if ghosts were crying and wolves were howling, making the group of Breeders feel numb all over.
"What a strange and vicious toxin!" all the Breeders thought to themselves.
The blood-red mist dissipated.
Thump! Thump! Thump...
A strong heartbeat sounded. Everyone looked at the Sky-Shattering Fire Dragon and saw its chest rising and falling more and more strongly. Countless spiritual energy was swallowed into its belly, emitting a sharp whistling wind.
"It's done! The beast is actively absorbing spiritual energy, and its will is beginning to dominate the demon core!"
"Not only that, the flesh is growing, and the speed is very fast. This potion is not just for detoxification, it also has impressive healing effects. It's too miraculous!"
"It's simply a miracle. A beast weakened to this extent can actually recover in such a short time, and there are no visible side effects!"
"Wonderful, wonderful..."
The group of Breeders ran circles around the Sky-Shattering Fire Dragon, using the on-site machines to observe its vital signs from afar.
Hearing the stream of good news made Director Wang beam with joy.
Li Yu sat upright on a grandmaster chair, with two people standing by his side massaging his shoulders and legs; his life could not have been more comfortable.
Finally, after about 5 minutes of checking.
All the reports summed up in one sentence: "Apart from being a bit weak, the body is completely normal."
Applause rang out~~~
Applause erupted all around. The group of Breeders spontaneously clapped, their gazes filled with fanaticism as they looked at Li Yu.
To say nothing else, in the research of blood toxin, Li Yu's results made them feel inferior.
The Golden Scale Bubble Fish seemed to like the liveliness. It had been floating in the air, but upon hearing the applause, it bubbled and came to Li Yu's side, enjoying the applause of the crowd.
In its mouth, it carried the demon core, shrunk N times, now only the size of a marble. The luster in its eyes, unknowingly, became rich once again.
Amidst the seven colors, it glowed with a cyan light.
Hum——
Just as everyone was happy, suddenly, a strange pale red airflow blew from afar, shrouding the entire Mingyue Gymnasium. The airflow carried a thick smell of blood.
The airflow formed a huge red vortex, spinning rapidly and emitting a whooshing sound.
The sudden turn of events frightened everyone.
"Careful!"
"Everyone hold your breath!"
"There's a situation, be careful..."
There were exclamations all around. Liu Zhanxing raised his hand to summon, only to remember that his beast was also infected with the blood toxin and was frozen in the City Defense Bureau.
The Breeders were in a commotion, everyone hiding behind their respective Guardians, faces full of terror.
Supervisor Song protected Li Yu, and Li Yu protected Zhou Ya.
The weak Sky-Shattering Fire Dragon walked over with heavy steps, shielding Li Yu behind one of its bat wings, emitting a low warning sound from its mouth.
Amidst the swirling pale red vortex, a bright, deep red light slowly descended within the vortex. It seemed to be looking for something.
Suddenly, it locked onto a direction, and a ray of light shot straight towards Li Yu's side.
Everyone didn't even have time to react before they saw the light bypass the Sky-Shattering Fire Dragon and land directly in Li Yu's hand.
It was a piece of jade, warm and hard in texture, deep red in color, with twisted and strange patterns.
【Blood Refining Ruins team leader identity bound.】
A strange voice sounded in Li Yu's mind.
