Chapter 396: Poisonous Mushroom Strain 'Red Umbrellas'

"It's useless, no matter how hard you try, you're only injuring me, with your methods there's fundamentally no possibility of killing me."

"I can invade your mind once, then I can invade it twice, three times, and countless times! Just wait, I will take up residence in your mental world, and then torture you every single moment!"

Speaking up to here, Xin Tianle grinned.

As if the injuries on his body were nothing at all, he threatened Lan Qingyou.

However, Lan Qingyou didn't even glance at him, just continuously fiddling with the new clothes she only put on today.

"Bacteria."

"!!!"

The two words Lan Qingyou spoke lightly made Xin Tianle's grinning, sinister expression freeze on the spot, and those slit-like pupils also contracted sharply.

"Indeed, the Demon Race's Undying attribute combined with their hard skin does make it very difficult to be killed, but you aren't invincible."

"At that time I was wondering why you would have such a big reaction."

"Later I understood, because expired food and drinks easily produce toxic bacteria, and if they enter the body, it might become some kind of potential threat to you Demons, which is why you had such a big reaction."

Lan Qingyou leisurely recounted her 'discovery'.

Yes.

Originally these things were all analyzed after seeing them through the Demon Eye, but in order to disclose it better, Lan Qingyou combined it with Xin Tianle's exaggerated reaction yesterday.

Although it was slightly far-fetched.

It also made sense.

As for why she had to disclose it...

"Bastard! What is this Tower Witch trying to do!"

"Is this something that can be said during a nationwide live broadcast!"

"This Witch, does she want us to die!"

"Haishida, if I had known, we should have acted earlier!"

At this time, the Demon Race across the Karim Continent who were also watching the competition had their mental defenses broken.

After all, their weakness was exposed to the public view just like this by Lan Qingyou.

From now on, anyone who had watched the live broadcast would know the Demon Race's weakness is toxic bacteria, so how the hell were they supposed to play anymore!

However, although these Demons were very angry now, they really couldn't do anything about Lan Qingyou.

And as the initiator, the source of this disclosure, Xin Tianle naturally didn't know these things.

Now he was already worrying for himself.

After all, with one's weakness being known by others, it was believed that not many people could still remain calm.

But now, regardless of whether Xin Tianle could stay calm or not, he had to calm down.

Because the battle was still ongoing.

"Hmph, heh! Even if you know, so what?"

Xin Tianle stubbornly squeezed out such a sentence.

"Didn't you drink?"

"Hmm?"

"So I'm saying, didn't you drink just now."

Lan Qingyou pointed at the broken glass fragments of the wine bottle Xin Tianle casually threw aside earlier and said to him.

"Before you guys came, I quietly put the spores of the toxic mushroom strain 'Red Umbrellas', personally cultivated by our Witch Race's genius mushroom cultivation master Ursula, into all the drinks. If nothing unexpected happens, they should already be in your stomach, absorbing your magic power to thrive and grow now."

"What!!!"

Hearing Lan Qingyou say this, Xin Tianle panicked at once.

Using his only movable hand, he felt himself up and down, and finding no abnormality, he finally relaxed.

What's this, so it was just this Witch spouting nonsense... wait...

Inside the body! Absorbing magic power!

Xin Tianle immediately opened his Personal Information, and this time he finally found the place that was amiss.

His Mana Value was dropping at a rate of one point per second.

For him who hadn't activated any magic at all, this way of dropping was very abnormal.

Which meant that what the Tower Witch said was true!

Poisoning before the match, who the f*ck can guard against this!

At this time, Xin Tianle recalled some of his previous actions and found that he had drunk both today and yesterday. Perhaps it was because of this that he was caught by this damned Witch!?

But... this is too bold!

"You... aren't you afraid other people would drink it too?"

Xin Tianle couldn't care less about the sweat and blood seeping from his forehead, asking Lan Qingyou with a face full of terror.

That's right.

Just to set a trap for him, she contaminated all the drinks with toxic mushroom spores, what if Ursula and Elisa also touched them?

Uh...

Ursula seemed to be the cultivator, eating them should be fine.

As for Elisa... she's an Alchemist, maybe she could mix an antidote herself?

So in other words, among the three of them, only he had no means of treatment after eating it?

Right! Antidote!

Thinking of this, Xin Tianle immediately took out the antidote from his card, and regardless of anything, stuffed it all into his mouth in one go.

A perfectly good Potion being eaten by this guy with the feeling of a chewable tablet, there was really no one else like him.

However...

"Do you think this kind of universal antidote will be useful against growing toxic mushrooms? Of course, if what you drank was some weed killer or something, then pretend I didn't say anything."

Lan Qingyou shrugged.

And Xin Tianle, who was originally a little relieved because he caught a life-saving straw, had his last trace of hope extinguished after being rebuffed by Lan Qingyou's words.

"Please... please, give me the antidote, you definitely have the antidote, right!"

Knowing he was going to die, Xin Tianle, after being stunned for a moment, immediately crawled towards Lan Qingyou with tears and snot, begging for mercy while crawling.

That appearance, it was as if the threats and stubbornness from just now no longer existed.

The speed of his face-changing was laughable.

But Lan Qingyou didn't laugh at him.

"Then are you willing to surrender?"

Lan Qingyou asked.

"I'm willing, I'm willing to surrender!"

Isn't it just surrendering, isn't it just a racial bonus, what do these small things count for compared to his little life?

"Referee, you heard it too."

Having received a reply, Lan Qingyou turned to look at the transparent person beside her who was called 'referee' but was actually 'watching the show'.

[The win... winner! Tower Witch Lan Qingyou!]

The reminded transparent person immediately raised its hand and announced Lan Qingyou's victory.

Although she won, Lan Qingyou didn't feel anything real, as if she had done something perfectly natural, very calm.

But Xin Tianle breathed a sigh of relief.

"N... now you can give me the antidote, right?"

"Hmm? Oh, sorry, I don't have any antidote either, it's a newly cultivated thing after all."

Lan Qingyou sighed at the other party, then picked up the large glass bottle on the ground containing her blood.

Looking at the bloodstains on the ground, a trace of pain flashed in Lan Qingyou's eyes.

Sigh... so many milliliters of blood... all wasted.

If only that High Priestess guy was here, she should have the ability to separate it.
