Mountains of Jewels
*POM!*
Old Tortoise collapsed on the ground soon after they left the arena. His composition was not as strong as others; his entire body was now full of bloody scratch marks.
It was a praiseworthy feat for him to last this long without faltering.
”Old Tortoise!”
The remnants of the Hundred Beasts Faction quickly gathered around him, though they still suffered from the intense itch while they checked up on Old Tortoise.
They still could not stop scratching themselves.
”I'm alright… I just need some fresh air…” Old Tortoise laid flat on the floor; his voice was weak. ”Poison Rat… Is it possible that our blood could be used as an antidote? I could feel my bleeding spots are not that itchy anymore…”
”Blood? I don't think so… You'll need some special herbs to nullify the effect of itchy powder…”
Poison Rat fell into thought for a while, and he got an idea.
”It seems like this itchy powder is different from the normal itchy powder… Maybe… I have a way now!”
*Spit*
Poison Rat spat a mouthful of saliva on one palm and rubbed his hands.
”The itch is gone!” Poison Rat said excitedly. ”My hands are no longer itchy! The powder is dissolvable in the water! Everyone, you can use your saliva as antidote!”.
”Nice! Nice! Nice! Finally, there's a way to sooth the itchiness!”
*Spit*
*Spit*
*Spit*
Old Tortoise and the two remaining fighters were excited as well; they quickly spat some saliva and applied it on their faces.
”F*ck…”
Appalled Long Aotian watched as his comrades rubbed saliva all over their own bodies. He, however, had pride.
Furthermore, he had always appeared before others in his white outfit and white shoes – and was clearly a clean freak. Naturally, dabbing saliva all over his own body was a fate worse than death to him!
”Master, why are you just standing there? Quick, neutralize the poison! You are going to be disfigured if you keep on scratching your face!” Poison Rat urged him on.
”Master! You shouldn't care too much about little things like this for something much more important! It will be bad if this poison causes major harm to your body!”
”That's right! We are not wimps! Cleanliness isn't that important to us!”
The other two fighters were urging their leader on as well.
”I…” Long Aotian was frustrated, unable to find words in reply.
Were they saying that he would not be able to do great things if he refused to use his saliva as antidote?
Would his comrades see him as a wimp if he refused to use his own saliva as cure?
That being said, he was a clean freak! How could he do such a disgusting act?
Long almost puked at the thought of the 'remedy'.
”Master!” Old Tortoise was hurrying him along too. ”You need to do it now… I think… We can still give them a surprise attack!”
Everyone turned serious at Old Tortoise's words.
Long Aotian asked in a deep voice, ”Old Tortoise, what do you mean?”
”Bao Linshuang is truly special. He keeps coming up with surprise after surprise, but his trump cards are definitely limited! He wouldn't have let us go otherwise!”
