The backyard of Anxiang Inn, inside the number one guest room.

"Old man, are you ready?"

Looking at Old Man Cao lying calmly on the bed, looking like he was "doing whatever you want", Pei Wende couldn't help but feel a sense of laughter.

Every time my master drinks the heart-tonifying soup, he has the same expression.

It seems that all stubborn old people don't like to express their feelings frankly, especially in front of young people.

"Little brother, don't worry, my body is not as weak as you think."

Seeing this, I don't know if he saw Pei Wende's thoughts, but Old Man Cao kept urging him, obviously unwilling to reveal his vulnerable side too much in front of outsiders.

"Ah...well, then this junior is offended."

After swallowing the words "Amitabha" that came out of his mouth in time, Pei Wende first reached into his pocket and took out a small wooden box, and then carefully took out several silver needles.

These are genuine silver needles, and they are also a handy tool that Pei Wende specially built for himself when he was practicing acupuncture in Weishan.

Each of these silver needles is one finger long, ensuring toughness while maintaining length.

And in order to ensure the effect of the acupuncturist's strength, the end of the silver needle is specially wound several times to form a structure similar to a "grip".

"Huh? Little brother, this silver needle was made by everyone?"

The well-informed old man Cao recognized the preciousness of these silver needles at a glance, and his initial uneasiness suddenly turned into unconditional trust.

The phrase "people rely on clothes, Buddha relies on gold clothing" seems particularly appropriate at this moment.

"Well, after all, he is also a guy who eats, so naturally he has to get some 'treasures' that he can get his hands on."

Without being too modest, Pei Wende slowly rolled up Old Man Cao's shirt while joking and joking, and began the formal acupuncture.

First, in order to prevent further deterioration of the wound, Pei Wende used the method of sealing the acupoints with silver needles to temporarily block the flow of Qi vessels near Old Man Cao's wound to achieve the effect of stopping bleeding.

If he had followed the normal steps, Pei Wende would have used a silver needle to prick Old Man Cao's pain-sensing nerve to achieve the effect of pain relief and healing.

Or you can prepare a special hemp powder and turn over Mr. Cao's real anesthesia to facilitate the subsequent treatment.

However, the former relieves pain from the outside in, but Old Man Cao's injury has obviously gone deep into his heart, and ordinary silver needles cannot block the pain nerves in the body.

The latter is equally undesirable, let alone where Pei Wende can temporarily find the herbs needed to make Ma Fei Powder.

Based on the fact that Old Man Cao's wounds were caused by evil spirits, he did not dare to let Old Man Cao pass out completely.

Who knows whether the evil spirit in the wound is connected to Old Man Cao's own mental state?

After experiencing the "Miao Witch Incident", Pei Wende no longer dared to underestimate the ability of any kind of evil demon.

"Xiaoqing!"

So in Old Man Cao's surprised eyes, a green snake about a foot long suddenly poked its head out from Pei Wende's collar.

"hiss……"

The latter rolled his eyes helplessly, then opened his mouth obediently and squeezed out a drop of venom from his fangs.

When it comes to playing drugs, Xiao Qing is the real expert in playing drugs.

Not to mention the toxins used for local anesthesia, even the kind of toxins that can kill people in one second are nothing in her opinion.

Especially after swallowing the old woman's snake poison, the green snake can adjust the poison glands in its body at will and secrete various types of toxins.

Pei Wende did not know this at first.

It wasn't until one day when he was preparing to cook a "barbeque feast" for the Green Snake that he discovered that the pheasants that had been caught by the green snake were not poisoned to death, but simply toppled to the ground.

After that, Pei Wende paid for three more "BBQ dinners" in exchange for the right to research this "strange evolution" from Green Snake.

According to Pei Wende's subsequent research, Xiaoqing's venom glands were actually different from ordinary venomous snakes, and she seemed to have the ability to independently prepare venom.

Especially after the successful transformation, the snake's own abilities have been greatly improved.

From blood-based toxins, to neurotoxins that erode nerves, to cytotoxins that infect cells, and even more deadly mixed toxins, Xiao Qing can easily prepare them.

Xiaoqing's own explanation is that since swallowing the snake vood, she has obtained the venom of hundreds of poisonous snakes in the snake vood.

Pei Wende didn't quite understand the reason for this strange change. He only knew that Xiaoqing's venom had become very strange since then.

Producing neurotoxins for local anesthesia is just Pei Wende's "trivial" development of Green Snake's ability.

"hiss……"

Although judging from Green Snake's current performance, she doesn't seem to like the feeling of being treated as a free "narcotic".

"Old man, you may lose consciousness from the wound next..."

"But other than that, there won't be any other unnecessary abnormalities in your body. Just don't be too nervous."

He carefully dipped a silver needle into a little neurotoxin, and Pei Wende warned him while injecting the needle.

"If you have any other different feelings, you must tell me in time."

The true energy in his body poured into Pei Wende's eyes unconsciously, allowing him to clearly see the direction of Old Man Cao's energy at this moment, as well as the "true appearance" of the evil energy.

It was an evil energy that made Pei Wende feel familiar. He was sure that he had been exposed to similar evil spirits more than once.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………

"It's a zombie..."

Just when Pei Wende was about to guide all the evil energy to Silver Needle, Xiaoqing, who had quietly approached his ear at some point, whispered a word.

The volume was so low that even Old Man Cao, who was very close at hand, did not hear the unnecessary sound.

"Yes, this is indeed a zombie!"

"And it comes from the zombie poison!"

Pei Wende, who was still a little unsure at first, nodded confidently as Xiao Qing's judgment was exactly the same.

Except for the different ingredients that make up the corpse poison, the feeling this evil energy gave me was exactly the same as the vampires and flying corpses I encountered before.

"Old man, were the monsters you encountered before a zombie?"

"The kind of pale, bloodless living dead?"

Afraid that his description was not clear enough, Pei Wende also carefully explained to Mr. Cao what a "zombie" was.

"Zombies?"

"It's a very vivid description. The monster that attacked me was indeed a dead but not stiff corpse."

Without denying Pei Wende's guess, Old Man Cao, who felt that he was gradually losing consciousness from the wound, nodded, confirming the "identity" of the attacker.

"Since it is the corpse poison of a zombie, this wound will be much easier to treat."

"The method of using silver needles to induce poison should be able to completely remove the corpse poison from your wounds without leaving any sequelae."
