CHAPTER 400: CHAPTER 262: POISON OR NOT

Amniotic fluid? Isn’t that the fluid used to nourish the baby or the beast fetus when humans and demon beasts are giving birth?

Yun Sheng was somewhat puzzled. What does this have to do with the special condition of Yun Bahe’s body at the moment?

"Can amniotic fluid be deadly?" Yun Sheng recalled, she had never heard of such a claim before.

"Generally, it’s not deadly, but if mixed with blood, it can be. The reason I know amniotic fluid can be deadly is because of Little Qing." Qi seldom talked about his and Little Qing’s origins, and this was the first time he spoke about Little Qing in front of Yun Sheng and Gu Feng.

When Qi was still a child, he was an orphan. One day, as he passed through a forest, he saw a giant serpent on its last breath.

The serpent’s body was as thick as two water buckets, and its scales were like the finest forge-made armor, its eyes as large as lanterns, with a small bump on the top of its skull.

It was a demon beast of unknown rank. Normally, if Qi encountered such a creature, he would be faced with certain death.

But that day, the giant serpent he encountered was barely clinging to life.

An injury under the belly of the giant serpent was bleeding profusely like a fountain.

When Qi saw the serpent, he was so scared he dared not move.

What puzzled him was that unlike normal serpents that lay eggs, this serpent had a mass of bloody, indistinct flesh under its belly that kept wriggling.

With a brave heart, Qi stepped forward and clearly saw what was under the serpent.

It turned out that the giant serpent was a mother serpent giving birth. Because it was giving birth alone, it accidentally allowed amniotic fluid to enter its abdomen, causing a blood flood and unstoppable bleeding.

Blood clots, along with the blood flow, blocked under the serpent’s belly, and the baby snake was about to suffocate.

At this time, knowing it was not going to survive, the giant serpent hissed towards Qi. For some reason, the pleading look in its eyes stirred compassion in Qi, and he even forgot his fear, stepping forward to help remove the blood clots from under the serpent’s belly.

With Qi’s help, the tiny snake, only the size of a thumb, finally survived. Unfortunately, with unstoppable bleeding and an inability to heal, the giant serpent eventually bled to death.

The little snake that Qi saved, later became known as Little Qing.

From then on, Qi and Little Qing depended on each other, until the time when Master Mei Li discovered Qi and brought him to the Royal Magic Academy.

Hearing Qi recount this, Yun Sheng suddenly remembered a controversial news story about a pregnant woman giving birth she had heard online before she crossed over.

The pregnant woman’s situation was very similar to what Qi mentioned about the demon beast giving birth to the little snake; medically, this clinical phenomenon is called amniotic fluid embolism.

Whether it’s human or demon beast amniotic fluid, the amniotic fluid itself is very dirty. If handled carelessly during surgery, it can backflow into the body of the mother, leading to blood contamination and ultimately causing severe bleeding.

That time, it was also due to amniotic fluid embolism that caused major bleeding, requiring over 10,000 milliliters of blood transfusion. The hospital was helpless, and the only solution was to remove the uterus; however, due to the indecision of the pregnant woman’s mother-in-law and husband, the uterus was not removed, and she ultimately died on the operating table from severe bleeding.

This news, once announced, disgusted Yun Sheng for a long time, as she cursed how this could still occur in this era, decrying it as a terrible medical malfunction.

She had not expected that she would encounter a similar situation in the Wuji Continent.

The hidden danger lying dormant in Yun Bahe’s body for months was actually caused by the Demon Beast Amniotic Fluid, and the person behind this was Yun Cangxue.

"The amniotic fluid of the demon beast is a very special poison. It has no toxicity by itself, but it is the most overbearing poison. Once consumed over a long period, whether a mage or a martial artist, the magic power and fighting spirit within their body will weaken. The most fatal aspect is that once someone is injured, the wound will not stop bleeding, and the poisoned will die from massive hemorrhage," Even today, Qi still feels palpitations every time he recalls the snake that bled incessantly on that day.

Having said this, Yun Sheng and Gu Feng both understood.

If it weren’t for Qi, Yun Sheng might never have found out about the existence of Demon Beast Amniotic Fluid, no matter how long he investigated.

At this moment, the expressions and emotions of the people present were vastly different.

"No way, you mean Miss Third of Yun Residence is actually plotting against her own father," Gu Feng was startled. He had heard that large families often engage in complex intrigues, but he never thought that Yun Cangxue, who looked so dignified and luxurious, would do such a thing.

Yun Sheng was also struggling internally, although he had already figured out the trickery in the tonic, the situation was still very tricky.

Let’s not mention that the poisoner is Yun Cangxue.

The martial saint contest between the two nations is imminent. If Yun Bahe finds out the truth at this time, he will surely be heartbroken.

This matter, cannot be revealed to Yun Bahe.

"Qi, can you determine which type of demon beast the amniotic fluid comes from? Also, is there any way to save him?"

What Yun Sheng was most eager to know at the moment was whether there was a way to neutralize the Demon Beast Amniotic Fluid Poison in Yun Bahe’s body.

"Yun Sheng, I won’t hide it from you, I only know about the dangers of the Demon Beast Amniotic Fluid, but I am not a doctor and do not know how to neutralize this poison. Moreover, as you just said, the old general has already been unwittingly taking the tonic mixed with the Demon Beast Amniotic Fluid for three months, and I fear that the amniotic fluid has already contaminated his entire bloodstream," Qi shook his head.

"Is there really no way?" Yun Sheng was still unyielding.

She also had no clue, Yun Bahe’s blood must have been deeply contaminated, not to mention how much his internal fighting spirit could still exert.

If this were modern times, one could use medical equipment to circulate blood over a period and replace it with new blood, but on the Wuji Continent, she had no such facilities.

Just the matter of the Demon Beast Amniotic Fluid alone, Yun Bahe would definitely not believe.

But if he gets injured even slightly during the contest, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Moreover, Yun Sheng had already determined that Yun Cangxue must have joined forces with Hou Qin or even the people of Emperor Hong City, and that despicable Tian Quezi would certainly take advantage of Yun Bahe’s vulnerability during the contest.

"Right, Yun Sheng, you can ask someone from the Magic Temple. Perhaps the Ancient Medical Skill has no solution, but using Light Magic might work," Gu Feng thought for a while, feeling somewhat guilty: "Actually, there is a specific Purification Magic within Light Magic. It’s just a pity that I am useless, haven’t studied Light Magic well, and can’t help you."

"Right, Gu Feng, you’ve reminded me." Yun Sheng recalled the Light Magic used by Xia Wenxu in front of him earlier, with its miraculous effects akin to bringing someone back from the dead, perhaps Xia Wenxu would really have a way.
