Chapter 768: Chapter 372: Drop Protection! (Two in One)_2
Many people had already started to swell up due to the intense torment of the poison.
Taya had personally seen a poisoned person swell up like an inflated balloon. In the end, their body exploded, and the bodily fluids that splashed out were as corrosive as a potent acid, devastating the surroundings.
Besides being extremely corrosive, these fluids contained a terrifying poison.
If even a little bit touched someone, all the grass within a one-meter radius would wither and die.
It was utterly terrifying.
Now, more and more people in the village had reached this state of bodily swelling.
If allowed to continue, they would eventually end up just like those who had been most severely poisoned previously, their bodies exploding as they died.
By then, it would truly be a living hell.
Sensing Taya’s unspoken despair, Chen Mo flipped his right hand, revealing the green monster’s inner core in front of her. He smiled and said, “I’ve already accepted the task. How could I give up? I’ve taken care of the monster you wanted to deal with. This is its inner core. What next? Should we throw this inner core into the well?”
Hearing Chen Mo’s words, Taya, who had imagined the worst and thought all was lost, looked at him in disbelief.
That monster definitely wasn’t easy to handle. But this destined person in front of her had solved the problem in less than one minute! Isn’t that too fast? Even if they had asked the Punishment Team to deal with it, they wouldn’t have been able to do it this quickly!
Taya, who had almost despaired, was suddenly bathed in the light of hope and cried tears of joy.
With moistened eyes, she looked at Chen Mo and said, “You… you really dealt with that monster?”
“The inner core is right here. How could it be fake?”
It wasn’t that she doubted Chen Mo. It was just that she had been imagining the worst, her heart filled with despair. For reality to be so wonderful all of a sudden… it was a little hard to believe.
She looked at the monster’s inner core in Chen Mo’s hands and said, “Let me test its effect first.”
After saying that, Taya added hastily, “I don’t think you’re lying to me, please don’t misunderstand. I’ve only heard about the use of this inner core from people in the Alchemy Tower, and I’ve never tested it myself. I need to see its effectiveness.”
Chen Mo nodded with a smile and placed the monster’s inner core into Taya’s hand. “Go ahead and test it.”
Taya gratefully accepted the inner core. After bowing to Chen Mo, she turned and walked towards her family’s courtyard. The door to their house had just opened, and an arm, covered in poisonous sores, its skin green and somewhat swollen, stretched out from behind it to take the food and water.
But upon seeing Taya entering the courtyard, the arm quickly withdrew.
“Xiao Ya, didn’t we tell you to just leave the things outside and leave the courtyard? Why did you come in again?”
An extremely unpleasant and strange voice came from inside the house. It was hard to tell whether it was a man or a woman speaking.
This was because the swelling caused by the poison also affected their vocal cords, making it difficult to speak normally.
Taya immediately shouted towards the house, “Dad, Mom, don’t worry! I’ve found a destined person who has taken care of the monster! I have the monster’s inner core now. People in the Alchemy Tower said that if you put this inner core in water for three seconds, it will turn the water into an antidote that can remove the poison from your bodies. Wait a moment, I’ll put the inner core into the bowl of water for three seconds, then you can take it in and drink it.”
After speaking, Taya had already placed the inner core into the bowl of water on the ground by the door.
To ensure it worked, she waited for five seconds before taking the inner core out again. She then continued to shout towards the house, “Dad, Mom, the antidote is ready! Hurry and take the bowl of water by the door, drink it, and see. I’ll leave the courtyard now.”
After Taya ran out of the courtyard and informed her parents inside, the door to the house opened again, and the bowl of water Taya had left by the door was taken inside.
As for the food at the door, they didn’t even touch it.
In their current poisoned state, they had no appetite.
If Taya hadn’t told them they needed to eat to replenish their Energy and resist the poison, they wouldn’t have wanted to eat at all.
They had only taken the food inside and eaten it each time before to not waste their daughter’s kind intentions.
This time, with an antidote clearly in sight, they naturally focused all their attention on it.
As they took the bowl of water, in which the inner core had been soaked, into the room, Taya also clasped her hands together and began to pray with her eyes closed.
Seeing her like this, Chen Mo couldn’t help but smile.
In the world of mortals, mortals pray to gods.
Yet Taya and those like her, born into a world where they possessed Divine Power—making them akin to the gods of the mortal world—still prayed to higher gods.
This showed that in this world, before one obtained absolute power, before one could solve any trouble, when faced with despair, even gods wished for the favor of external forces.
Whether they were praying to stronger gods or the elusive Heavenly Dao.
Weakness is the original sin, the root of helplessness.
Before Taya even began her prayer, the front door suddenly creaked wide open.
Previously, when the door was opened or closed, it was always just a crack, and the person behind it would only reveal half of their figure.
But now, the door swung fully open, and a remarkably good-looking young couple walked out from the room.
They looked as if they weren’t much older than Taya.
If one wasn’t told they were Taya’s parents, they could easily be mistaken for her older brother and sister.
Seeing them restored to their former appearance before her, Taya felt a surreal, dreamlike sensation.
Her parents’ previously green, swollen bodies had vanished without a trace. They had completely recovered their health.
Overwhelmed with joy, she immediately threw herself into her parents’ arms, crying.
“It’s… it’s wonderful! You’re finally back to normal!”
At this moment, Taya’s parents were also overjoyed. They, too, shed tears, embracing their daughter and weeping.
They had truly believed they would eventually die from the poison’s torment, their bodies exploding.
They had even envisioned the tragic scene of their own deaths.
Their biggest worry had been their daughter. Unexpectedly, they were miraculously and easily cured.
The water soaked with the inner core had such an amazing effect!
After calming his emotions, Taya’s father, Tahm, immediately said to Taya, “Now is not the time for us to relax. The villagers haven’t been saved yet. Xiao Ya, quickly drop the inner core into the well. We’ll draw the well water, distribute it to everyone in the village, and heal them first.”
Taya regained her senses and nodded immediately.
“Sir Destined Person, please wait a little longer. After we’ve saved everyone in the village, we will properly express our gratitude.”
Taya gave Chen Mo an apologetic look and then ran straight to the crystal.
Chen Mo didn’t mind and let them go about their business.
As Taya’s parents passed by Chen Mo, they immediately bowed in thanks, saying, “Honored Destined Person, our village’s salvation this time is all thanks to your efforts. Rest assured, once everyone in our village is detoxified, please tell us whatever you need. We will do our utmost to fulfill your requests. Our Kaqiu Clan always repays kindness.”
Chen Mo smiled and said, “It’s no problem. Go ahead and get busy. Saving people is what’s important.”
“Then we’ll take our leave first.”
After offering their apologies, Tahm and his wife also threw themselves into the rescue efforts.
A few seconds after Taya threw the inner core into the well, they quickly drew up a bucket of water, divided it into several bowls, and rapidly delivered it to each household.
Before long, the sounds of doors opening could be heard one after another throughout the village.
From them, fully recovered figures continuously emerged.
Having recovered from such a severe poison, these people all felt as if they were in a dream. Upon learning that it was Chen Mo who had helped heal them, they all gathered around him, expressing their boundless gratitude.
