119: Poison testing

On the square where the giant gate of calamity stood, a vast sea of poisonous mist covered the ground.

However, in this sea, a small black mountain stood, pushing away some of the surrounding poisonous mist.

Looking closely, this seemed to be a black bear magnified countless times.

Gu Qinghan was currently on Bear King's shoulder, waiting for the Poison Master beside him to slowly recover his mana.

In the time just now, this Poison Master used his poison control ability to clear away some of the surrounding poisonous mist.

It was precisely because of this that Gu Qinghan was able to level up to 18.

The level 18 soul fire reduced Bone Spear's cooldown to 6 seconds, and Gu Qinghan could also summon up to 36 Skeletons.

At this moment, the Skeletons were still fighting in the cleared space below, and Poison Spiders constantly rushed out from the surrounding poisonous mist.

The level 18 Berserker Skeletons could kill these Poison Spiders in two or three hits, but they still couldn't stop the Poison Spiders' enthusiasm for suicide.

Yes, Gu Qinghan felt that these Poison Spiders were committing suicide.

The purpose of these Poison Spiders seemed to be to fill every corner with this poisonous mist, even if the cost was their lives.

If the current trend continued, this ten-meter-square cleared area might fall within two hours.

Thinking of this, Gu Qinghan glanced at the Poison Master next to him and urged,

"You've rested for half an hour. You should have recovered some mana, right?"

The Poison Master glanced at Gu Qinghan and said weakly,

"I have recovered some, but being injured makes me very weak now. I need to replenish my energy."

Gu Qinghan looked at him; his face was indeed somewhat pale.

Although Healing-type Professionals can heal injuries, lost blood cannot be regenerated quickly.

However, if he wanted to extort him this way, this guy probably picked the wrong person.

Gu Qinghan pointed to the Skeletons below and said to this guy,

"Those Poison Spider corpses below should be to your liking. Go eat and replenish your energy."

However, what Gu Qinghan didn't expect was that this guy actually nodded, asking Gu Qinghan to put him down.

"You can eat these Poison Spider corpses?" Gu Qinghan was somewhat incredulous.

The Poison Master nodded, then shook his head and said,

"Saying 'eat' isn't accurate. Poisonous things are a threat to you, but to me, they are tonics. Can I absorb some poisonous gas?"

Gu Qinghan gave him a deep look, but in his heart, he began to ponder the other party's motive for doing so.

During such a long time here, the other party had not suggested absorbing poisonous gas.

But now, he suddenly said he needed to absorb some poisonous gas. If there was no trickery in this, Gu Qinghan would be the first not to believe it.

His brain whirred, and Gu Qinghan suddenly remembered that the other party had previously said he wanted to refine Luo Mu and the others into poison people.

From the situation at the time, poison people seemed to require poisonous gas to erode the human body.

"Could it be that this kid wants to turn himself into a so-called poison person and then try to escape?"

Gu Qinghan was not afraid of the other party escaping; after all, after his Skeletons transformed into Extreme Ice Wizard Skeletons, keeping him would still be very simple.

The problem now was how much poisonous mist the other party needed to absorb, and whether it was worth the risk.

Immediately, Gu Qinghan asked this question.

The Poison Master glanced at Gu Qinghan and asked cautiously,

"I'll just absorb for five minutes, okay?"

Gu Qinghan immediately grasped the other party's deeper meaning: he could absorb for longer.

"If you can absorb all the poisonous mist in this square, I don't mind you absorbing for a bit longer."

"Okay, hehe..."

The Poison Master immediately chuckled again. This guy's mental state was clearly a bit off, so Gu Qinghan simply ignored him.

Gu Qinghan had Bear King put him on the ground, then watched him walk towards the edge of the poisonous mist.

The Poison Master looked back at Gu Qinghan, then suddenly took a deep breath, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.

He extended his somewhat dirty left hand and used a sharp little fingernail to cut a gash on his right wrist.

Immediately, blood seeped from his skin, slowly forming a small vortex.

A moment later, this vortex began to absorb the surrounding poisonous mist.

The visible poisonous mist was drawn in, flowing towards the vortex on the Poison Master's wrist like a dragon sucking water.

The skin nearby turned green at a visible speed, then spread like a plague to the surroundings.

However, the Poison Master's eyes held a hint of excitement, and he subtly glanced in Gu Qinghan's direction.

"Faster, faster..."

He kept praying, afraid that Gu Qinghan would notice something amiss and interrupt his absorption process.

The reason he previously wanted to refine other Professionals into poison people was because poison people could refine toxins, producing a potent poison that even he couldn't completely ignore.

But now, he was a prisoner, and it was almost certain that Gu Qinghan would not let him go.

He had no choice but to choose this method of harming the enemy a thousand times while damaging himself eight hundred times, turning himself into a poison person.

His vitality was slowly decreasing, and the Poison Master felt that the absorbed poisonous gas in his body was gradually liquefying.

Some of this liquid had merged into his body, and some could be controlled by him at any time.

"This fool actually let me absorb for so long."

He almost laughed out loud, but decided to continue absorbing a bit more.

Although he was somewhat deranged, he wasn't stupid and knew that Gu Qinghan was immune to the previous poison damage.

Therefore, he needed to collect more poisonous mist to convert into venom to defeat Gu Qinghan in one fell swoop!

Time passed by minute by minute, and the Poison Master already resembled a goblin, emitting a green glow all over his body.

Gu Qinghan, looking at the greatly dissipated poisonous mist around him, was somewhat amazed by this guy's absorption ability.

This speed must be hundreds of times stronger than the air purifiers sold online!

He glanced at the Poison Master, whose eyes were flickering with excitement, and couldn't help but curse him as an idiot.

This guy, could it be that the poisonous gas had invaded his brain?

Even a child seeing that expression would know he wasn't up to anything good.

However, Gu Qinghan still planned to let him continue absorbing the poisonous mist; after all, such a free air purifier was too rare to encounter.

Aside from stronger toxins, Gu Qinghan couldn't think of any other means for the Poison Master's abilities.

He was keen to test his own poison resistance; anyway, he wouldn't die.

With his Skeletons sharing the damage, plus Bear King's damage transfer,

at this stage, if there truly was a poison that could kill Gu Qinghan, then this Poison Master wouldn't have been captured by him.

Finally, just as the Poison Master's face was almost dripping green, he suddenly burst into laughter:

"Idiot! You caught me, watch me poison you to death!"

As his words fell, the Poison Master suddenly spat out a large mouthful of green liquid.

When these liquids encountered the dark golden glow on Bear King's body, their direction changed.

However, a large portion of the venom still fell towards Gu Qinghan's body.

Even from a meter away, Gu Qinghan could smell the foul, fishy odor!
