SFS Chapter 1056 Thorns
Chapter 1056 Thorns
"Look at this."
As he spoke, Lin Dong carefully lifted the clothes on Feng Ji's chest.
There was a knife wound about an inch long clearly visible on Feng Ji's chest.
The skin and flesh at the edge were curled up and appeared a dead black color, obviously caused by the poisoned dagger.
But what really makes your scalp tingle...is the scene around the wound.
The black poison did not spread evenly, but instead gathered and condensed towards the center of the wound like a living thing!
Finally, an extremely strange pattern clearly emerged on Feng Ji's chest skin:
A ring-shaped mark composed of countless twisted black thorns!
The thorns were sharp and prickly, interlocking with each other and tightly binding the vital area of the heart.
"Hiss... Boss, this... this thing can grow patterns on its own?"
Du Hai's scalp tingled as he watched.
Lin Dong also frowned, his fingers tapping the thorn ring mark, puzzled, "Master, this thing is a bit... weird. My previous acupuncture skills made the needle tip feel stagnant even when I got close to it!"
The moment Jiang Xiaochuan saw the hideous thorn ring mark, he was stunned.
On the way here, he repeatedly thought about Feng Ji's symptoms, trying to find the key features that could connect all the clues, but he still had no clue.
And the thorn ring mark in front of us is undoubtedly the key to solving the mystery.
In an instant, the vast inherited memories in his mind surged like a tide.
An ancient and ferocious name suddenly jumped into my mind.
Jiang Xiaochuan's eyes narrowed instantly, and he whispered, "Thorns!" His voice was filled with realization after a moment of shock. "No wonder it's so overbearing and strange. It turns out to be this legendary poison!"
He glanced at the shocked faces of Lin Dong and Du Hai, and explained in a deep voice, "This is no ordinary poison. It's a curse poison from ancient times, specially used to deal with powerful monks!"
"The most insidious aspect of it is that it doesn't target the body, but rather the 'source of power'."
"Once you're poisoned, the more you try to mobilize your strength to resist and force the poison out, the more it will become like real thorns, wrapping around you tighter and tightening, squeezing you deeper and deeper, and the more ferocious the backlash becomes!"
"The higher your realm and the more powerful your cultivation, the faster and more miserable your death will be! Because it is designed to 'lock' your ability to save yourself!"
Lin Dong seemed to understand what he heard, but he was still vague about the concepts of "cultivation" and "origin".
After seeing Jiang Xiaochuan take action, he vaguely felt that this world was far more vast and mysterious than he had imagined.
Du Hai's face turned pale as paper, and he had obviously realized the terrifying meaning of this. He asked in a trembling voice, "Then... can it still be saved?"
"Usually using detoxification methods, whether it's using medicinal herbs or using Qi to force out the poison, is just adding fuel to the fire and will only make the thorns tighten faster!"
Jiang Xiaochuan's eyes were as hard as steel. "To deal with this kind of poison, you can only 'lure' it, not 'force' it!"
Fortunately, the method of detoxification was recorded in the inheritance. Although Jiang Xiaochuan looked solemn at the moment, he was still calm.
He quickly ordered, "Du Hai, immediately prepare warm water and a clean towel. Then find some quicklime powder and some wine. The stronger the wine, the better. Pour it on the towel. Act quickly!"
"understand!"
Du Hai didn't dare to delay for a moment and turned around and rushed out.
"Lin Dong,"
Jiang Xiaochuan said seriously, "Next, you must open your eyes and watch carefully. How much you can comprehend depends on your own luck."
Before he finished speaking, several silver needles appeared between his fingers.
He did not directly touch the core of the hideous thorn ring seal, but moved his fingers quickly, and the silver needles turned into cold lights!
At an extremely fast speed, he used the tip of the needle to scratch the skin outside the thorn ring, leaving countless extremely fine, shallow marks that were almost indistinguishable to the naked eye!
These shallow marks were not random, but slowly formed a reverse spiral pattern, tightly surrounding the thorn ring mark.
"Master, what are you doing..."
Lin Dong was horrified by what he saw; this technique was completely beyond his understanding.
"Use your body as a talisman and your blood as ink!"
Jiang Xiaochuan said hurriedly, "This poison has become a 'curse mark'. Brute force is courting death! I have carved a temporary 'evil-attracting talisman array' on his body, using his own remaining decaying Qi and blood as a guide!"
"This cursed poison naturally craves evil and foul energy, and will be temporarily attracted to this 'delicious' treat!"
He explained while his hands kept moving.
The talisman array is completed!
Jiang Xiaochuan lightly scratched the artery on Feng Ji's skinny wrist with his fingertips, and a drop of dark red blood oozed out.
He immediately used a silver needle to pick up the drop of blood and accurately placed it on several key points of the talisman formation!
hum!
The hideous thorn ring seemed to be activated.
The black thorn patterns on the edge actually began to wriggle extremely slowly!
Strands of black air followed the sharp thorns and tentatively penetrated into the newly engraved "evil-inducing talisman formation" on the periphery!
"Boss, everything is ready!"
Du Hai pushed the door open, panting and holding something.
"Lime powder!"
Jiang Xiaochuan growled.
Du Hai quickly handed over the quicklime powder.
Jiang Xiaochuan watched the moment when the black poisonous aura spread to the edge of the talisman array, shook his wrist, and evenly sprinkled a handful of quicklime powder on the skin where the talisman array and the thorn ring mark intersected!
Tsk-!
Pungent white smoke suddenly rose up!
Quicklime reacts violently with blood and sweat, and the high temperature and strong alkali generated instantly burn and corrode the spreading black poisonous gas!
The black air that looked like living things let out silent screams, contracted and twisted violently, and some of them were directly burned by the high temperature.
The other part, like a frightened poisonous insect, suddenly retracted into the core of the thorn ring!
"Towel! Liquor!"
Jiang Xiaochuan's voice carried a hint of tired excitement.
A moment later, a thick towel soaked in liquor was immediately handed over.
Jiang Xiaochuan did not hesitate and slammed the liquor towel over the area where the lime powder had just been sprinkled, which was now torn apart by corrosion and the poisonous smell was dissipating!
At the same time, the silver needle in his hand was as fast as lightning!
The tip of the needle, with a barely perceptible golden edge, pierced precisely into the edge of the wound where the skin and flesh were rolling!
With his wrists at an extremely tricky angle and frequency, he forcibly loosened and "shocked" out the tissues that had been forced loose by the liquor and lime!
laugh!laugh!laugh!
A few strands of black venom as thick as asphalt and emitting a strong fishy smell, mixed with shattered necrotic tissue, were discharged under the guidance of the silver needle and quickly absorbed by the liquor towel!
The towel instantly turned black and shiny, emitting a disgusting stench.
"Change!"
Jiang Xiaochuan panted.
This was repeated several times. Although the core of the thorn ring mark on Feng Ji's chest was still stubbornly entrenched, the thorn patterns on the periphery had obviously become dim, and even showed signs of breakage in some places!
The cold and oppressive feeling that was strangling the heart and suffocating was also greatly weakened.
