Chapter 705: Chapter 709: Antidote
After hearing that, everyone’s expressions became somewhat strange.
Gaiyin turned his gaze to Su Tang, "Tell us, what did you find out?"
Su Tang sat up straight, eagerly anticipating everyone’s reactions.
"Maya said she was also poisoned, hence she couldn’t confront Liao Li and the others, but this isn’t true."
Only after she saw everyone’s curiosity piqued did Su Tang continue, "Maya had been controlled by a species called Zixi Bug Grass. This grass is a remarkable species, which under ordinary circumstances depends on Son grass and the Mother grass for survival."
"It turns into grass in hot weather and a bug in the cold, changing its form according to the temperature. It’s extremely rare."
"The grass Maya had ingested was the Son grass. Those who take this herbal medicine will obey the commands of the one who took the Mother grass, unable to resist them, or the Son grass in their body will explode, resulting in death."
Gaiyin nodded, "So, the Emperor is the one who consumed the Mother grass. This also explains why Maya only wants us to kill the Emperor."
"Exactly!" Su Tang, with an approving look, continued, "Moreover, if the two people who have taken the Mother and the Son grass are apart over a certain distance, after the person who consumed the Mother grass dies, the person who took the Son grass won’t be affected, this is why she asked us to leave here before making our move."
Yadang chuckled, "Maya is thoughtful indeed, she probably didn’t expect that we would uncover her secret."
Xia picked up the Detoxification Pack on the table, examining it and sniffing it for quite a while.
He asked doubtfully, "Given the small amount here, is this really sufficient to detoxify us all?"
Gaiyin glanced at him curiously.
Su Tang was also somewhat shocked, "Of course not, what were you thinking?"
It’s obvious that even though Maya appeared to be considering their interests and seemed to desire nothing for herself, anyone with half a brain would know that was impossible.
In the end, they were all just using each other—they did not reveal their own hands, while Maya, naturally, kept a trick or two up her sleeve.
Su Tang spread her hands to Xia.
Xia, with a slightly embarrassed expression, reluctantly handed the Detoxification Pack to Su Tang.
After receiving the pack, Su Tang opened it up and casually fiddled with the powdered medicine inside.
"The poison we’ve ingested can’t really be called a poison. It’s an herbal medicine that numbs our nerves. I’m not sure how you mobilize the Primordial Power within your bodies, but the loss of Primordial Power that Maya mentioned probably comes from the paralyzing effect of this drug."
"The antidote is actually just a common wild grass, dried and powdered. What she provided us is enough for only three of us for a day. I believe there’s no need for me to expound on her intentions."
Gaiyin sat straight with his slender fingers tapping unconsciously on the table, creating a ’thump-thump’ sound that was haunting
"It’s not hard to understand; If it were me, I would do the same."
Liao Li aimed to incapacitate them to ensure that they wouldn’t have the qualifications to compete with him once they entered the Wood Immortal Mansion."
Maya’s intention became even more complex, as she needed to assure that they have enough strength to kill the Emperor, while also ensuring that they won’t recover to their peak condition."
If my guess is correct, Maya won’t let us off after the Emperor has been killed."
