BXBX NOVEL Chapter 136 - 11: Barbaric First Aid 2
Bahmir Balves was struggling to contain his volatile temper.
“We may share the low aptitude of a lower fifth rank, but just because you, Dalton Collen, are willing to be someone’s lapdog, doesn’t mean I, Bahmir Balves, am willing to be the same!”
“He, Link Grande, just a guy with an intermediate fourth rank aptitude, has better results for now but who knows what will happen in the future.
“Who gave them the audacity to make me grovel?”
He opened his mouth, ready to fire back.
Lutz Bailey intervened again, blocking Bahmir Balves. He assured Dalton Collen, “Don’t worry, Andriya is our teammate, we will not delay.” Saying this, Lutz Bailey glared at Bahmir Balves, pressuring him to voice his intentions.
A few days ago, during their first meeting with Wizard Palo, Lutz Bailey had clearly seen and taken into account the favoritism shown towards Link Grande and Jasmine Kidman.
He believed Bahmir Balves remembered it just as clearly.
And that resentment was only flourishing because of the clear memory of the incident.
But what was important at the moment?
The key moment was to save Andriya Norman, to prevent her from being eliminated prematurely!
How can anyone act so recklessly and selfishly, disregarding the consequences? If the rescue was delayed, and even affects Wizard Palo’s bet, who would bear the responsibility?
“If you, Bahmir Balves, want to seek death, count me out!”
Bahmir Balves was shocked by the sinister look in Lutz Bailey’s eyes. He stumbled over what he wanted to say earlier, but changed his mind and said, “I agree.”
After that, the two of them put their heads together in deep thought.
Link didn’t pay attention to the exchange between Dalton Collen, Lutz Bailey and Bahmir Balves. Instead, he performed another Rehydration Technique and return spell on Andriya Norman.
“Report.”
Elise Clark suddenly spoke up, not knowing if she was joking or serious.
Link had previously brushed her off once, found it effective, and continued to cooperate, “If you have something to say, don’t ask for permission.” I have a Universal Antidote in my pocket, maybe it could be helpful.”
Ehse Clark didn’t expect Link Grande to actually cooperate. She was overjoyed and her smile grew brighter.
In stark contrast to Dalton Collen’s gloomy face.
People’s joys and sorrows never intersect.
“Big guy…”
Before Link could speak, desperation showed in Dalton Collen’s eyes as he looked towards Link, struggling to speak.
Ignoring Dalton Collen’s plea, Link rejected Elise Clark’s kind offer and gave a reasonable explanation,
“The Universal Antidote is being sold on the market for 128 standard first- grade Magic Stones, which is a cost Andriya Norman can’t afford.
Suppose the academy uses this reason to strip Andriya Norman’s qualification, it would be better not to save her, and just let her be eliminated by the academy. Why waste a Universal Antidote?”
Dalton Collen had to admit that Link’s words made sense, and the light in his eyes gradually faded.
“Cheapskate.”
Ehse Clark muttered quietly, drawing a funny face to Dalton Collen who glared at her upon hearing her comment.
If it weren’t for teaming up with Link Grande, she wouldn’t bother dealing with these people.
Although Half-Bloods and New Bloods are naturally allies.
Not all the New Bloods meet the standards of a Half-Blood’s alliance.
For example, Ehse Clark’s sister, among her dozens of close girlfriends, only one was a Serene wizard from the Stormy Sea, the others were all high-ranking young ladies from the great Half-Blood families of the Ravensmouth Special
Link checked Andriya Norman’s vital signs again, estimated that the toxin had not yet reached her heart or brain, and that there was no immediate danger to her life.
Even so, there was no time to waste.
He looked at the blood sample being tested, feeling quite helpless.
The equipment was too simplistic.
In the underground third-floor laboratory, the results could be available in less than a minute.
“I’ve got it!”
Dalton Collen suddenly cried out, “Boss, I’ve got it. Andriya ate a fruit half a day ago.”
Upon hearing this, Link was speechless.
“Really? In this unfamiliar world, she dared to casually eat something here?
What was she thinking?”
“How stupid can she be!”
Ehse Clark, unlike Link who kept his disdain to himself, expressed it out loud.
She was very blunt in her wording.
She didn’t consider the feelings of the person involved at all.
Dalton Collen’s face reddened, because at that time he didn’t stop Andriya Norman either.
“Absolute numbskulls, the both of you!”
“How far is it? If it’s not too far, take me there.”
Suppressing the sudden resignation in his heart, Link asked.
“Not far, just over there.”
After glancing around, Dalton Collen pointed in a direction, “About 3 kilometers away.”
“Let’s go.”
Without another word, Link pulled Dalton along to lead the way.
It will be a while before the blood test results come in, so waiting around wouldn’t solve anything.
Link made two plans:
First, to find that fruit and test its toxicity;
Second, to see if an antidote could be found within three steps.
They both moved quickly, arriving at their destination in less than two minutes.
A patch of low shrubs.
A few rosy fruits hung on the branches, quite appetizing at first glance,
Link held his breath, not daring to inhale the faint and elusive fragrance deeply.
There was something wrong with the shrubs.
He signalled for Dalton to stay back.
He pulled out a pair of silk gloves, carefully plucked a fruit.
Then, he performed a Wood System detoxification spell on it.
A slight reaction appeared, a few white specks appeared on the surface of the fruit.
This was a savvy way to use the Wood System detoxification spell, it could induce the stress response of plant poison.
After storing the fruit in a sample bag, Link collected a few more fruits, some shrubs leaves, branches, and roots, storing them separately.
This poison plant with a delayed reaction was quite intriguing, Link planned to study it thoroughly back home.
Finishingall these research-related tasks, Link began the real work-observing other plants in the vicinity of the shrubs.
The “botanical talent of Pomona Sprout” was timely activated.
When Link saw a small white flower hidden under the shrubs, his intuition was triggered.
“It’s you.”
Link trusted his intuition and hunches. He immediately began taking samples from the small white flower.
To avoid disrupting the ecosystem, Link left a few white flowers untouched and collected the rest.
“Let’s go.”
Seeing an anxious Dalton drenched in sweat, Link was slightly speechless.
Andriya Norman won’t really die, is there a need to rush so desperately?
After another minute, they returned to where Andriya had fallen.
During this time, the poison had further spread.
The cyanotic color on Andriya’s face was more pronounced.
“Boss…”
Dalton’s panic increased at the sight.
“Calm down.”
Maintaining his cool, Link glanced at the blood sample still being examined The results were out, but it didn’t point out any specific poison.
The test could form a symptomatic treatment based on its result.
Whether it could work remained questionable.
However, it’s still useful to Link as it gave him more certainty.
He took another blood sample, processed it briefly, and put it aside for later use.
He took out two of the white flowers, sterilized them, crushed, dissolved, and extracted them, obtaining an extract.
After this, it was the realm of Potion Study and Alchemy Pharmacy.
After a whirlwind of operations, Link successfully developed a serum.
There was no time to test the pharmaceutical properties of the serum now.
Andriya Norman couldn’t wait that long.
They could administer it as long as it didn’t cause harm.
Link took out a syringe, drew the serum into the tube, made sure there was no air,
and directly administered it into Andriya’s jugular vein.
The brutal rescue operation was completed, whether Andriya could live or die, it’s up to destiny now!
