Chapter 5: Perseus' Treatment Method

  Behind them, a group of brothers with distinctive features and tattered robes appeared, far surpassing the disciples of the Beggar Gang in martial arts films.

  These strangely shaped monsters were making strange gestures towards the giant scorpions, while muttering some inaudible bird language. But what's weird is that those giant scorpions actually all quieted down obediently.

  Everyone who had just gone through the intense battle was panting and staring at these strange guys who had just appeared, all with serious expressions. Because it's not clear yet whether they are enemies or friends, if they are enemies, that would be troublesome. However, Muxu Xing knew clearly that these guys were not enemies, and they would also join his group of people.

  "What are they?" a soldier subconsciously muttered as he stared at those strange guys opposite him.

  "Evil spirit!" an old soldier in the team immediately replied.

  "The legion I used to be in fought against them, this is their desert!" The old soldier turned his head tense and loudly said to the crowd beside him.

  It seems that he has a rather deep impression of these uniquely shaped evil spirits. Maybe he was once beaten badly by them.

  "Is it an enemy?" Perseus asked anxiously after shaking off the dust on top.

  Indeed, the scorpion in front didn't know how to deal with it yet. Now, behind their group of people, another group of possible enemies appeared. This is not a good omen at all. If they're not careful, this team will be annihilated.

  "I suppose so!" said Captain Drako, the old veteran, resignedly.

  "They haven't been human for a long time, but are desert wizards and killers." The old soldier who had seen evil spirits before continued to say.

  Although he had already known the other's identity, when the old soldier said they were no longer human a long time ago, Muxin Xing couldn't help but think that humans could also evolve into this kind of ghostly appearance, and this world was indeed full of wonders.

  In the eyes of Mocheng Xing, Karipos's mad dog appearance was already shocking enough. Unexpectedly, these evil spirits in front had even more distinctive appearances, with emaciated bodies and tree-bark-like skin, as well as a pair of eyes emitting blue light. They looked just like extraterrestrial visitors, it's really unknown what kind of environment humans would need to evolve into such a form.

  "They really are quite special!" Murong Xing couldn't help but laugh as he said.

  "Especially! But never underestimate those evil spirits, they possess very special powers." The old soldier reminded after hearing Mu Chen Xing's words.

  Perseus turned around and looked at the giant scorpion that had stopped in its tracks, saying "I think we should thank them!"

  "What did you say?"

  Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but stare at Perseus in shock, clearly thinking that his idea was utterly crazy for wanting to thank those evil spirits. Of course, there were two exceptions - one being the omniscient Mudan Xing and the other being the mysterious woman Aio who seemed to understand the language of the evil spirits, which was far more difficult to learn than any other language.

  As Perseus was about to walk over and express his gratitude, the arm that held the sword suddenly began to rot and turn black, followed by a severe pain. It seemed that the poison from the bite of Cerberus' mad dog had finally taken effect.

  Perseus, that unlucky child, although a demigod, the poison carried by Caripos was given to him by his sinister uncle Hades himself. The power is not something that can be compared to the venom of other creatures in the world, and even a demigod can be poisoned to death.

  Mudu Xing estimated that if it were him or his group who had been poisoned, they would have long since kicked the bucket and gone to see Hades. But someone like Perseus, after being poisoned, could still run around wildly and fight a big battle with scorpions before finally showing signs of poisoning - truly, the physical quality of mortals and demigods cannot be compared.

  Perseus fell to the ground with intense pain, constantly making painful cries. When Io rushed over to check on Perseus' injury, she was immediately scalded by the toxin on his hand. She immediately determined that this was a poison set by Hades, that old guy.

  As everyone gathered around to check Perseus' injuries, Muxin Xing took out a collection tool from his backpack and began collecting cell tissue from the scorpions that had been killed nearby. Anyway, this guy Perseus has a protagonist halo, he won't be finished off so easily, otherwise if the protagonist dies then there's no show to watch anymore.

  At this time, the old soldier Drako heard that it was Hades' poison, and he wanted Perseus to pray to his heavenly father Zeus for strength to cure the severe poison in his hand. However, this kid didn't know about asking his great father god for help. Seeing this situation, everyone else had no way out either. Aio rushed to negotiate with those evil spirits and informed everyone that they could temporarily rest at the evil spirits' residence first.

  Although some are not very willing, Perseus, the main character, has now been poisoned and become a half-dead appearance. They have no choice but to follow the evil spirits together, and Muxin Xing sees that the current plot has not changed at all, so he is also happy to follow along easily.

  Shortly after arriving at the cave where the evil spirits lived, Mochizuki looked over and saw Aria taking care of Perseus who was lying on a blanket with a fever and suddenly walked over to speak up.

  "Let me try!"

  "Will you treat it? This is poison from Hades!" Ai Ou asked in doubt, looking at Mu Chen Xing who was standing on the side.

  As for the divine poison that God has laid down, Aria is very clear about it. It's not something that ordinary people can possibly know how to lift, and this outsider doesn't seem like someone who knows medicine either.

  "I won't be treating you, but I do have some tools. Let's see if we can suck out the toxins from Perseus' hand. Want to give it a try? The process might be quite painful." Mu Chen Xing said bluntly, though in fact he wasn't so kind-hearted as to save this poisoned brother of his. He had other reasons for doing so.

  "Come on, I can hold on." Perseus, who was lying weakly on one side, didn't know when he woke up and was speaking very seriously at this moment.

  It seems that as long as it's not asking for help from the main god, Perseus is willing to try any other method. Indeed, a young man in his rebellious youth, Muxin Xing thought to himself as he looked at him.

  Although he is not very old now, it's good that Mu Chenxing himself has gone through so many movies and especially spent five years in the X-Men world, and people have become much more mature. Therefore, I also understand Perseus' current mood, young people just want to fight for a breath of air.

  Under the gaze of everyone, Muxin Xing took out a sampling collector with a needle from his backpack and lightly pierced Perseus' arm that had completely turned black.

  In an instant, Perseus felt a severe pain coming. But the little guy really gritted his teeth and didn't make any screaming sound.

  The collector began to work, and the black blood was constantly sucked out of Perseus' wound. At the same time, a foul smell also spread around, and everyone who saw this process felt a chill down their spine.

  Mudu Xing's initiative to undergo detoxification for Perseus was also his own idea, and these toxins were personally concocted by Hades, the King of the Underworld. Even demigods couldn't withstand them. From this, one can see how potent the toxins are; if brought back to reality, probably no living being could resist them.

  If applied to the Edman knife, the attached lethality will be multiplied. For future encounters with troublesome opponents in other movie worlds, these toxins will be a very useful killer trick.

  Everyone saw that the blackened part of Perseus' arm had indeed shrunk a lot, and they urged Muyin Xing to continue drawing out all the toxins from his arm.

  Without heeding the crowd's proposal, after extracting about 500 milliliters of blood from Perseus' arm, Muyun Xing stopped further extraction. He didn't want to accidentally suck the protagonist Perseus to death.

  In ancient times, people's understanding of the human body was not much. Normally, a person's total blood volume is about 8% of their body weight. A normal adult has between 3.8 and 5.6 liters of blood in their body. If the amount of blood lost within a short period is within 15%, the body will not quickly produce adverse reactions. Exceeding this value, people may experience rapid heartbeat, dizziness, irritability or feeling cold. When the amount of blood loss reaches 40%, a person's blood pressure becomes too low, and blood cannot flow back normally, easily leading to tachycardia, thereby threatening life. If the body loses 50% of its blood, it will directly lead to death.

  He has now extracted about one-tenth of Perseus' blood, and the impact on his body is not significant. Although this guy is a demigod, he is not a god after all. If he accidentally sucked him to death, it would be troublesome. Muyan Xing doesn't want to face Hades, the king of the underworld, and the monster Kraken under his command.

  "Why don't we continue to draw out the poison? Perseus' arm is clearly showing some improvement!" Old soldier Drako urged loudly from the side.

  After all, their task is to assist Perseus, and seeing this method has some effect, of course, they can't let it go. However, they don't know that just drawing blood or not can't fundamentally solve the problem, and people can't lose a lot of blood either.

  "Look at his hand, the toxin has already entered his muscles. Even if I drain all the blood from his body, it would be useless, and might even cost him his life." Mu Chen Xing said bluntly.

  "How can we completely eliminate these toxins?" Perseus asked weakly.

  "I'm out of options, why don't you go ask those evil spirits if they have any ideas?" Mudan Xing said to Aiyue, pointing at the evil spirits not far away.

  Following the direction of Muxun Xing's finger, the leader of the evil spirit also looked over at this time. He knew that in the movie, it was these alien-like evil spirits who used a very special method to cure the unlucky Perseus.

  For the blue flames in Xie Ling's hands that can cure the poison set by Hades, Muxin Star was very interested. After all, that thing can even solve the poison of the gods, it's just unknown whether humans can use it or not.
