Demon King, Don’t Run Away Chapter 435: Father and son on the Gobi Desert
Getting the address from the tavern owner, Yang Yu found a remote adobe house and knocked on the door. A young man in his early twenties opened the door for them.
The young man's name is Qingshi. He has short, delicate hair and broad, honest eyebrows spread over an extremely ordinary face. He is wearing a beige loose robe often worn by desert residents, clean and tidy.
Qingshi asked Yang Yu and the others about their purpose and learned that they got the news from the tavern owner, so Qingshi let Yang Yu and the others into the house.
Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. The adobe house is in a remote location, but it has all kinds of daily necessities. There are also dried meat hanging on the wall and naan baked by the stove.
The most eye-catching thing in the room is a spacious bed, with a thin middle-aged man lying feebly on it. His face is haggard, the black hair is half dyed by the late white, and the long beard has been combed for a long time. It became a slightly curled goatee.
Looking closely, the middle-aged man’s exposed right calf turned purple and blue, extending upward along the outside of his thigh.
Using the system, Yang Yu could see the middle-aged man's status at a glance.
His name is Jiao Sha, he is level 12, and his attributes are extremely ordinary. Except for intelligence, none of them exceeds 50. There is indeed a poisoned icon on his status bar.
The poisoned icon is not ordinary. At a rough glance, it looks a bit like an eight-legged facehugger.
Click the poison icon and Yang Yu can see the effect of this poison.
This kind of poison loses blood very slowly, but it can greatly weaken the poisoned person's attributes and put him into a weak state. It will also cause paralysis at regular intervals, making the poisoned person unable to move or use skills, which is equivalent to Tricky.
Qingshi was not happy about the arrival of Yang Yu and the others. The tavern owner had introduced many people, but a week had passed and his father's condition still had not improved.
Qingshi once looked for desert doctors who were passing by, but even the experienced desert doctors said they had never seen this kind of poison and were helpless to do anything about it.
The hope of ridding his father's body of toxins was extremely slim.
If he could find out what kind of creature bit his father and catch that creature, it would be possible to combine toxins with herbs and ores and continuously blend them to create a specialized antivenom.
It’s just that when Qingshi’s father came back, he didn’t see clearly what bit him. He could only guess that it was a golden venomous snake.
Looking at Jiao Sha's wound, the shape of the wound indeed looks like it was left by some creature with fangs.
After obtaining Qingshi’s consent and verifying that ordinary antidotes were useless, without much hesitation, Yang Yu decided to hunt down the dangerous snake,
"Let me confirm again, as long as you can catch that dangerous poisonous snake, you do have a way to make a special antidote, right?"
Qingshi nodded affirmatively, "I got a special formula from the desert doctor. As long as I can successfully catch the poisonous snake that bit my father, I can use the knowledge I learned from him to make a special antidote.
Because we don’t know the toxic characteristics of that biological toxin... After killing it, the toxin on his body will most likely become ineffective. So, bring them back alive as much as possible. ”
After saying this, Qingshi looked at Yang Yu motionlessly. In the past, after he made this request, the people who came to visit would look embarrassed.
Even the desert guide who is most familiar with the desert is not sure what kind of creature it is, and it was bitten like this. It is too risky to catch that thing alive.
After thinking about it, the people who come to visit will give up one after another and no longer stick to the injured desert guide, but look for someone who can really help them get out of the desert.
Yang Yu's young face came into view. This time, Qingshi also thought that Yang Yu would just roll up his sleeves and leave like those people in the past.
Unexpectedly, Yang Yu didn’t flinch at all and said with a smile:
"I accepted this commission. If we can successfully bring back the poisonous snake that injured your father, don't forget to take us across the desert."
Brows furrowed slightly, Qingshi shook his head, "It's true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. The dangers in the desert are far beyond your imagination. It's not like you can bring that thing back with just one or two words. Maybe you can also bring it back." I'll take you in."
"Maybe it's what you said, but now apart from us, you can't find anyone else willing to go to the desert to look for venomous snakes."
It is undeniable that now Yang Yu is the only one who is willing to take risks and go to the desert after hearing about his family.
"I have some things I want to ask about. Please answer me truthfully. This is related to your father's life." After receiving the acknowledgment, Yang Yu collected intelligence while the iron was hot. "We hope to understand the route and events that your father took when he came back. You should find out the location, time and details if you go there again. ”
After hearing Yang Yu's question, Qingshi fell silent, not knowing how to answer these questions. His father had never told him the details of the injury.
Just when Qingshi hesitated, Jiao Sha, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes. With his eyelids a little swollen, he tried to sit up from the bed, but his weak body could not support him at all. Halfway through, his body felt like It was a kite with a broken string, unable to stop leaning backwards.
Seeing this, Qingshi quickly approached, grabbed Jiao Sha's shoulders, and gently put him back on the bed, letting him have a good rest.
Jiao Sha raised his bony hand and pushed Qingshi's hand away,
"I know my body well. While I can still speak now, I have something to tell you.
If my condition continues to get worse, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to talk anymore. ”
Halfway through speaking, Jiao Sha looked at Qingshi apologetically,
"Sorry, Qingshi, I never told you the details of my injury before. I was afraid that you would go deep into the desert alone for me..."
"Father..."
"Now I think about it, if I don't tell those things, and my condition continues to deteriorate and becomes irreversible, you will definitely be as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, seeking medical treatment indiscriminately, and you will be so busy. In the end, we got the same result.
Now is an opportunity, maybe we can change this outcome.
This group of people may be more reliable than you think.
I have been working in this industry for almost thirty years, and I have met all kinds of people who want to cross the desert. What a person is like can be seen in his eyes. ”
After hearing what his father said, Qingshi finally made up his mind to believe Yang Yu and the others. He supported his father and sat up.
Jiao Sha breathed hard, and then calmed down as if nothing had happened, trying his best to put a kind smile on his tired face,
"The rest is all your trouble. I will tell you everything I found in the desert now."
