"Brother, I...I am poisoned." Su Jiu’er barely opened her eyes and stretched out her hand.
In Su Jiu’er’s hand was a dead scorpion.
The scorpion was bigger than a walnut, and its entire body was a horrifying blue-purple.
Su Ze’s face changed slightly as he looked down at Su Jiu’er’s abdon.
Su Jiu’er was wearing a crop top, but now her entire navel area had turned red-purple, covered with dense small bumps that looked extrely disgusting.
"Damn, what’s going on?" Su Ze stepped forward and picked up Su Jiu’er. "Don’t worry, I’ll take you to the doctor right now, I’ll take you to the doctor!"
This trip to Yun City was rely to investigate the appearance of so experts; they had no other missions, so they did not expect any danger.
Because of this, they hadn’t brought any dication with them.
Dragon Teeth included experts at preparing dicine; if they’d known they would encounter scorpion venom, they would have prepared in advance.
But it was already early morning, and rushing to the hospital might not be fast enough.
Moreover, to Su Ze, compared to modern dicine, he trusted traditional dicine more.
Just one glance and Su Ze knew that this was no ordinary scorpion, but a kind of venomous insect from the Miao region.
Panicking, he ran downstairs and threw Su Jiu’er into the back seat, then drove directly to the herb street.
"Jiu’er, Jiu’er, hold on, don’t worry. I heard the master’s uncle, Mr. Su, is in Yun City. With him here, you’ll be fine." The leader of Dragon Teeth was a highly skilled person, proficient in dicine, and had a very skilled uncle in the dical field.
That uncle was Su Tong.
Driving fast, ignoring all red lights, Su Ze reached Yunji Hall in less than fifteen minutes.
Yunji Hall was open 24 hours, but there were hardly any people at night, only the pharmacy clerk was dozing off.
After stopping the car, Su Ze carried Su Jiu’er inside, shouting, "Quick! I need to see Su Tong, I need to see Su Tong."
The clerk was startled awake by Su Ze’s shouting, and upon seeing Su Jiu’er’s appearance, his face changed dramatically, "Wait here, I’ll call him right now."
The scorpion venom had already spread to Su Jiu’er’s arm, and her neck had turned blue-purple. It wouldn’t be long before it reached her head, and even a god wouldn’t be able to save her then.
Although Su Tong was older and had little hesitation knowing soone was in danger, he got up imdiately and ran out.
Seeing Su Jiu’er’s condition, Su Tong’s face changed, and he imdiately ordered, "Quick, get the silver needles!"
The clerk brought the silver needles.
After briefly inquiring about the situation, Su Tong started to detoxify Su Jiu’er’s abdon.
He applied more than a dozen needles, and Su Jiu’er’s abdon’s color improved slightly.
Additionally, Su Jiu’er’s breathing stabilized a bit.
Su Ze was moved, "Mr. Su, how is my sister?"
Frowning, Su Tong said, "It’s still unclear. I’ve extracted the venom from the bite site, temporarily stopping its spread, but whether she’ll wake up, I can’t be sure."
"What?" Su Ze’s face turned pale and he grabbed Su Tong’s arm, "Mr. Su, please, you must save my sister. Our leader said if we’re in trouble, co to Yunji Hall. You must save her!"
"Your leader?" Su Tong took a breath and scrutinized Su Ze, "Who is your leader?"
"Red Dragon, Duan Nanye!"
"You’re from Dragon Teeth?" Su Tong was surprised to realize Su Ze was from Dragon Teeth.
He did have a nephew who was now one of the most powerful in Dragon Teeth.
Not only was he skilled in martial arts, but he also had deep knowledge of dicine and maintained good relations with Su Tong.
Few people knew Su Tong lived in Yun City, but Duan Nanye did.
Duan Nanye often called Su Tong to check in.
"Ah, Nanye’s people." Su Tong nodded lightly but didn’t ask further, "I know. I will do my best, but so things are beyond effort. Put your sister inside, and I’ll examine her more closely."
Though the situation was temporarily controlled, Su Tong clearly wasn’t confident.
After Su Jiu’er was settled, Su Tong asked, "You’re called Su Ze?"
Su Ze nodded, "Mr. Su, our leader holds you in high regard. He says among Hua Country’s best, your dical skills are in the top five. We intended to visit you, but our mission wasn’t complete. We never expected this to happen."
Su Tong, after a mont of silence, glanced at Su Jiu’er, "She’s poisoned by a venomous scorpion?"
Su Tong knew sothing about Dragon Teeth, focusing on martial artists; their presence deterred many powerful but ill-intentioned people.
But he didn’t expect anyone in a small place like Yun City to know Voodoo.
Usually, more powerful people gravitate towards big cities.
Besides, Yun City is far from the Miao region; Voodoo practitioners coming here are rare.
However, from the wound and symptoms, Su Jiu’er clearly suffered from Voodoo.
"Su Ze, to be honest, this scorpion’s venom is too strong. If treated within half an hour, no problem, but these symptoms suggest it’s been over an hour." Frowning, Su Tong sighed, "Although I’ve controlled its spread and extracted most of the venom, it’s already damaged Jiu’er’s ridians. Whether she wakes up depends on her luck."
Su Tong’s words were mostly to comfort.
"Mr. Su, please, think of sothing!" Su Ze, knowing Su Jiu’er’s grave condition, was desperate.
Though he didn’t know who hurt Su Jiu’er, his eyes were already red.
Determined, if sothing happened to Su Jiu’er, he’d kill the one responsible, regardless of who.
"Su Ze, as a doctor, I won’t leave soone to die!" Shaking his head, Su Tong said, "But in this situation, my abilities are limited..."
On hearing this, Su Ze’s gaze darkened.
He knew doctors weren’t always omnipotent.
Elsewhere, they might declare Su Jiu’er unsavable imdiately.
"I understand." Su Ze knew pressing Su Tong wouldn’t help, so he turned, tightly holding Su Jiu’er’s hands, filled with sorrow.
From childhood, the siblings had a close bond and were family pride.
Though Su Jiu’er was a bit willful, during Dragon Teeth training, she endured without complaint.
This ti, they finally got a mission, one without danger, yet now she was dying.
Su Ze felt deeply unwilling.
