Chapter 617: Strange Poison
Chapter 617: Strange Poison
When Zhang He asked him, Wang Laogen chuckled and said nothing.
Seeing that he fell silent, Zhang He didn’t say anything more and just smiled as well.
Everyone continued to work on their tasks, striving to finish everything within the day so they could each go about their business.
As Ling Feng drove to Longyuan, before he arrived, Chen Ping called, "The plane is arranged, hurry to the airport, don’t come here, and be safe in Demon Capital!"
"Understood, thank you, Director Chen!"
Ling Feng felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing this and drove straight to a small airport located in the suburbs of the county.
This wasn’t a civilian airport but a military training base, with some training planes usually flying around in the sky.
After arriving, Ling Feng and the others smoothly boarded a small jet aircraft.
After three hours of flight, they landed at a military airport in Demon Capital.
As the Security Bureau had arranged everything, cars were already waiting there; Ling Feng took the girls and headed straight for the hospital!
Lin Xue was very nervous all the way and even more so after getting in the car, having phoned Lin Huaqiang’s subordinates to check on his condition.
Learning that her father was in a deep coma, she immediately grabbed Ling Feng’s hand, "My dad won’t be in danger, right?"
"Don’t worry, I’m here. Nothing will happen to him," Ling Feng said gravely.
Despite saying that, Ling Feng actually had no confidence in his heart!
You have to know that Lin Huaqiang was in the Qi Strength Realm, and such experts were very few in Huaxia; if he fell into a coma after being attacked, could it be something simple?
So Ling Feng really didn’t know if he could save him!
But to comfort Lin Xue, that was all he could say.
The car quickly arrived at the hospital, and everyone rushed upstairs to a single room ward on the fifteenth floor.
Before even seeing anyone, Lin Xue’s eyes turned red as she entered the door!
Then, seeing Lin Huaqiang surrounded by a group of people, her tears began to fall.
Lin Huaqiang, now, was not the vigorous figure of before. He lay on the hospital bed with his eyes closed tight, his face extremely pale.
Almost everyone around was his subordinate, with only one person in a white lab coat being a doctor from the hospital.
"Doctor, how is Mr. Lin’s condition?" Ling Feng inquired.
The doctor, with a furrowed brow, shook his head and said, "Based on the symptoms, it looks like poisoning, but we’ve sent off blood samples for testing, and we don’t have the results yet!"
"Then would my dad’s life be in danger?" Lin Xue asked.
"Hard to say, unless we know the type of poison, otherwise we cannot guarantee anything," the doctor replied, shaking his head.
Hearing this, Lin Xue could only turn to Ling Feng for help, "Please check my dad."
"Alright."
Ling Feng nodded, walked to the head of the bed, and to the astonishment of the doctor, took hold of Lin Huaqiang’s wrist.
"..."
A silence ensued in the room; Ling Feng’s eyebrows knotted tightly together!
There indeed was a strange energy inside Lin Huaqiang’s body. He tried to use his own Spiritual Power to neutralize that energy, but found it utterly ineffective!
The energy was peculiar, seeming to have the ability to regenerate. As soon as Spiritual Power neutralized part of it, it would immediately replicate itself!
And with each cycle, the amount that increased was more than what was neutralized.
Noticing this, Ling Feng immediately stopped trying, lest he inadvertently made things worse by failing to destroy the toxins in the blood, instead increasing their concentration!
Turning back around and seeing everyone’s gaze fixed on his face, Ling Feng forced a smile, "I need to try some other methods."
After speaking, he looked up at the doctor, "Doctor, could you excuse us for a moment, please?"
Doctor: "..."
According to the rules, he couldn’t agree to let Ling Feng examine Lin Huaqiang, and now that he was being asked to leave, it was clear that deeper treatment or some other measures were intended.
But he knew Lin Huaqiang was not an ordinary person, and he could tell at a glance that the handsome man and beautiful woman who had hurried over were not ordinary people, so after hesitating for a moment, he nodded and said, "Alright, but please don’t do anything too troubling for the hospital."
"I know, thank you!"
Ling Feng nodded.
Once the doctor had left and his men had closed the door, Ling Feng then said to Lin Xue, "I need a blood sample from Uncle Lin now, can you help me take a drop of blood?"
"Ah?"
Lin Xue was stunned at this and stood frozen in place.
"You should do it yourself, don’t make Xiao Xue do it," Joanna said.
"That’s better."
Ling Feng had thought it more appropriate for Lin Xue to do it, but considering she was disturbed and in a complex mood, he decided not to insist.
He pulled out the God Slayer Saber, made a light slash on the pad of Lin Huaqiang’s index finger, and squeezed out a drop of blood.
The people around watched intently, not knowing what Ling Feng was about to do.
Then Ling Feng touched a finger to the drop of blood and twirled it between his fingers a couple of times, silently praying, "Please work, please let this work!"
Suddenly, his mind lit up with a dense array of text!
Ling Feng had not known if this would work, and had taken a drop of blood on a trial basis, hoping to use the hint function in his mind to analyze its composition.
He had never tried such a method before, but to his surprise, it actually worked!
This new discovery greatly surprised him, and it showed on his face.
Lin Xue and the others, seeing him like this, were all confused and had no idea what had happened.
Ling Feng opened his eyes, "I know what the poison is!"
"What is it?"
Lin Xue immediately asked.
"Crimson Root Grass, this thing doesn’t seem to be a species from Earth!" Ling Feng said gravely.
Everyone: "..."
Everyone was bewildered, hearing that it wasn’t a species from Earth; could it possibly be from an extraterrestrial planet?
"Don’t worry, everyone, if I remember correctly, this poison is curable!"
After saying that, Ling Feng turned to Lin Xue, "You stay here and look after Uncle Lin, I’ll be right back."
"Okay, we’ll wait for you!"
With Ling Feng’s words, Lin Xue felt a new hope and nodded firmly.
Ling Feng didn’t want to teleport in front of Lin Huaqiang and the others, so he pushed the door open and went outside.
To his surprise, he saw that the doctor had not left but was standing at the door.
Their eyes met, and Ling Feng smiled, "By chance, do you know what Crimson Root Grass is?"
"Ah? What’s that?" The doctor looked blank.
Ling Feng smiled, "It’s an herb, never mind if you haven’t heard of it."
"An herb? I’ve been in medicine for twenty years, and I’ve never heard of something called Crimson Root Grass," the doctor said.
Ling Feng confirmed his suspicion and nodded, "Alright, I understand now!"
After speaking, he turned and left. Once in a deserted place, he immediately teleported to the Nine Heavens.
Upon seeing Ling Yao and the others, they quickly got up to ask about the situation. Ling Feng didn’t answer but instead looked at Ling Yao and asked, "Sister, do you know what Crimson Root Grass is?"
