Chapter 482: Poison (1/2)

The victory might have seemed simple, but it had truly exhausted Xue Wei. He was not sure if he would be able to withstand if the Monarch Piranha Flower would get stronger, and he knew that it was a ticking time bomb that might explode at any time.

When he was done with a battle, it would be the ideal time for the flower to make a move, and he knew that it was merely a question of time before the Monarch Piranha Flower would take over his body if he did not manage to cultivate fast enough.

Xue Wei took a step, but he almost collapsed as he felt his energy drained.

He sat down and tried to control his breathing, but black dots appeared in front of his eyes, and his body began trembling.

Although he had suppressed the Monarch Piranha Flower, the flower had managed to poison him. The last thing he thought about was how unlucky he was before losing his consciousness.

His friends looked shocked when they saw how he collapsed in front of them, his eyes were closed, and his face was pale.

Lan frowned as well, and without anyone noticing his move, he was suddenly by Xue Wei's side.

He laid him on his back and lifted his wrist to take his pulse, Lan's expression turned solemn.

”He is poisoned by the Monarch Piranha Flower,” Lan said with a frown. ”The flower is not poisonous as such, but it seems that it has consumed his essence blood and somehow mutated.”

”What should we do then?” The others panicked when hearing Lan's words; their hearts were shaking in fear.

”I am going to help him,” Lan said after contemplating for a moment, and a strange golden energy entered Xue Wei's body.

His body, which had been lying still on the ground, was now convulsing, and sweat was beading on his forehead as he kept twitching.

It was clear that Xue Wei was in pain, an internal battle was being fought within his body. The Monarch Piranha Flower had already retracted, but the poison was putting up a fight against the energy Lan had poured into his body.

Lan was also careful. He was a deity, and he used Ancestral Worldpower, an energy which was domineering and overpowering.

If he had poured too much of it into Xue Wei's body, then he would have died, but if he had put too little, it would not be able to fight against the poison.

Lan guided the energy through Xue Wei's meridians, and everywhere the Ancestral Worldpower moved, the poison was slowly being eroded.

Lan was leaning over Xue Wei for the majority of the day, his eyes were solemn and grave, but he was not giving up on trying to save Xue Wei's life, trying to ensure that the Monarch Piranha Flower did not succeed in taking over his body.
