Chapter 454 - 453, Die Faster_1
Returning to the tent, Ji Nuan did not rest. After having some meat soup, she, along with Xiu Yan and Yao, took out the porcelain jar filled with worms from the backpack.
"Aren’t you going to rest a bit?" Xiu Yan asked with a slight frown.
Ji Nuan shook her head, "I’m not sure how long these worms can survive after leaving the host, but typically, such worms do not live long after leaving the host so I need to test the medicine urgently."
Xiu Yan puckered his mouth, "I’ll accompany you."
Ji Nuan nodded, "Of course, you have to accompany me."
She had already wanted Xiu Yan to stay with her, so she would not tell him to rest insincerely. A genuine person would stay, even if you ask them to leave, while an insincere person would leave even quicker than a high-speed train at the slightest suggestion.
After fetching a specially prepared deep porcelain basin, Ji Nuan looked pitifully at Xiu Yan on the side, "Brother Xiu Yan, could you help me nab a worm?"
Xiu Yan gave her a playful smile, grabbed a stick from the side, opened the lid of the porcelain jar, and quickly snatched a squirming worm and threw it into the deep porcelain basin.
Truthfully, even a strong orc, seeing this worm and thinking about the possibility of having such a thing inside his own body, would unconsciously feel goosebumps rising.
Ji Nuan shuddered, it was truly...
Fetching a small jar from the backpack, she used a tweezer to grab a little bit of Fire Seed Fruit peel and put it into a porcelain bowl on the side, rinsed it around three times, and took it out.
Ji Nuan scooped some Fire Seed Fruit water with a temporary wooden spoon and poured it onto the black elongated worm which was still squirming in the porcelain basin.
Instantly, the previously calmly squirming worm became agitated, struggling violently with its sharp head raised high, as if shrieking in pain.
Frightened, Ji Nuan quickly retreated several steps. Her heart pounded non-stop as the worm seemed ready to leap out of the porcelain basin at any moment.
Xiu Yan looked helplessly at the overly startled Ji Nuan but did not move.
Shaman Ji Nuan gave an embarrassed smile, "I... I thought it was going to jump out just now."
Xiu Yan pointed at the rim of the basin, "The rim of the basin is narrowed, it can’t get out."
Chuckling sheepishly, Ji Nuan moved back to her spot. The worm in the basin continued to struggle. Yellow blotches began to appear on its black body, as if corroded by something, but it still hadn’t died.
Ji Nuan brought over another basin, "Brother Xiu Yan, continue to nab worms."
This time, Ji Nuan put Fire Seed Fruit water that had been soaked with the fruit peel five times into the basin. As soon as she poured it onto the black worm, blotches started appearing on its body. Like the first worm, it writhed in agony.
The third one... the fourth one... the fifth one...
By the time she reached the sixth one, Ji Nuan poured Fire Seed Fruit water that had been soaked with the peel eighteen times onto the slowly moving worm. The once lively worm was corroded into a pile of yellow liquid in a very short time.
Ji Nuan sighed in relief and went back to observe the worms in the previous porcelain basins. Apart from the worms in the first and second basins that were still struggling in their dying moments, the worms in the other basins had already left behind half or even less of their bodies, they couldn’t be any deader.
