Chapter 1878: Chapter 1874: Refining the Antidote

"Tang Ming, is there really no cure?"

Hua Yingjie asked Tang Ming nervously. As a doctor, he was very aware of the miserable state that would follow the depletion of Essence Blood and didn’t want to die just like that.

"Indeed, there’s no cure..."

"Oh my God, does that mean I’m doomed."

"Don’t panic! No cure doesn’t mean there’s no way. I can help you detoxify with my cultivation."

Tang Ming quickly held down Hua Yingjie, "Come to my room. I will use my cultivation to concentrate the Sun Addiction Gu at the Baihui Acupoint on the top of your head, then absorb it into my body."

"So it’s not a certain death, that scared me to death."

Hua Yingjie let out a long sigh of relief, thinking he was done for this time.

The two of them then went to Tang Ming’s room.

Looking at No. 13 sleeping soundly on the bed, Hua Yingjie had a weird expression on his face: "You even played the chick until she passed out, pretty capable, huh."

"What are you thinking? This is the result of the Sun Addiction Gu leaving the host’s body, the host will experience a temporary faint."

Tang Ming rolled his eyes speechlessly at Hua Yingjie.

"Ah? I thought it was because I was too vigorous, playing with several girls until they fainted."

Hua Yingjie blushed and felt embarrassed.

"Haha, probably every man feels accomplished seeing a girl pass out after, focusing only on delight, who’d think they’d fall for a trap."

Tang Ming sneered disdainfully.

"Ahem, you better help me detoxify first, detoxify."

Hua Yingjie laughed awkwardly.

"Sit on the sofa, I’ll help you detoxify."

Tang Ming stretched his limbs, preparing to make a move.

"Wait a moment!"

Just as Tang Ming was about to start, Hua Yingjie quickly stopped him.

"What now?"

Tang Ming frowned in confusion.

"If you help me detoxify, and then I have relations with those girls, will I get poisoned again?"

Hua Yingjie looked at Tang Ming uncertainly.

"No! The Sun Addiction Gu only acts once, even if you do that again with them, you won’t get poisoned again... your life is in danger, and you’re still thinking about women?"

Tang Ming explained briefly, feeling speechless.

"Not using a girl would be an affront to heaven, haha."

Hua Yingjie chuckled awkwardly, "Who knows what might happen next, if I die, this could be my last enjoyment, wouldn’t you say?"

"You’ve got a point, I yield."

Tang Ming rolled his eyes, then raised his hand to press down on Hua Yingjie’s head, starting his cultivation.

Tang Ming used his cultivation to gather all the Sun Addiction Gu in Hua Yingjie’s body to the Baihui Acupoint and then absorbed it into his own body, processing and devouring it.

Although the Sun Addiction Gu is a vicious poisonous insect poison, it is nothing compared to the Dust Gu; instead, it actually benefits Tang Ming’s Poison Skill somewhat.

A few minutes later, the detoxification was complete. Hua Yingjie thanked him repeatedly, then happily returned to his room to continue enjoying himself.

Tang Ming stayed in the private room, lost in thought. The forces behind the scenes were acting so maliciously, sacrificing so many girls to poison the contestants, clearly wanting to control the contestants through such means, but why?

According to Tang Ming’s observations, the base certainly had more than one or two strong Martial Generals. Even if some contestants had ulterior motives and were pretending, they couldn’t escape, so there was no reason to use this method to control the contestants.

Unless the upcoming events are likely not under the control of the forces behind the scenes, prompting them to use such a method to prevent any accidents.

The Sun Addiction Gu needs to be activated to harm the poisoned person; as long as it’s not triggered, it will lie dormant in the human body, equivalent to a ticking time bomb. The person who holds the remote control can control the life and death of the poisoned person.

"Although I don’t know why the people on the Netherworld Road want to control these contestants’ lives, if we control these Sun Addiction Gu, doesn’t that mean we can control these contestants?"

After pondering for a while, Tang Ming grinned strangely. He could help those poisoned with the Sun Addiction Gu to cure it, and as long as he researched a way to prevent others from triggering the Sun Addiction Gu, he could indirectly control these people’s lives.

"I’m sorry, young master, I fell asleep."

At this moment, No. 13 on the bed slowly woke up, looking apologetically at Tang Ming.

"Hmm? Haha, it’s good you’re awake, just in time."

Hearing the voice, Tang Ming looked at No. 13 with excitement.

Indeed, the Sun Addiction Gu is incurable, but there is a way to prevent its activation. All you need is the blood of the Sun Addiction Gu’s host to concoct a drug that can stop the Gu from being activated.

With this in mind, Tang Ming slowly stood up, walking towards No. 13 with a fiery gaze.

Seeing Tang Ming like this, No. 13’s face instantly turned red, obediently lying on the bed, presenting herself for the taking.

Seeing the girl like this, Tang Ming sighed sympathetically, these poor girls probably didn’t even know they didn’t have much time left.

With a few taps on the girl, No. 13 passed out, and Tang Ming began collecting blood samples to concoct a temporary antidote.

As the host of the Sun Addiction Gu, her body had long become the home of the Gu, so using these people’s blood could create a temporary antidote.

This might also be the reason these girls are destined to die in seven days. Once these girls die, there really would be no cure for the Sun Addiction Gu in the world.

According to Tang Ming’s estimation, these girls might not even last seven days. Presumably, once they finish serving today, they will be disposed of by the people on the Netherworld Road, eliminating any future problems.

In the laboratory, with ample materials and equipment, Tang Ming collected the blood and went openly to devise the antidote, without attracting any attention.

At this moment, most people were fooling around with women in their rooms. Apart from Tang Ming and Tang Xinhai, the two masters of Poison Cultivation, probably no one else could discover the secret of those girls.

Even Hua Yingjie, a descendant of the Heavenly Medicine Sect, did not notice, let alone others.

After making the necessary preparations, Tang Ming returned to the private room to sleep. No. 13, having just had some blood collected, fell into a deep sleep, and he didn’t bother her, sleeping soundly.

When Tang Ming woke up again, No. 13 had already left.

Groggily getting out of bed to find food, Tang Ming saw the other contestants busy in the laboratory, while the women who had appeared earlier were all gone.

"It’s not even time yet, and these people... probably all preparing for the next assessment."

Tang Ming yawned and quickly understood why these people were acting this way. Although the charm of a woman’s embrace is sweet, the upcoming assessment is a matter of life and death, and no one wants to risk their neck.

Tang Ming didn’t join in the research but instead went straight to the dining hall. His most important preparation was to eat; only when full of food and drink does one have the strength to act.
