The summer weather was hot. The sun was like a fireball that was roasting the Earth. The wooden door was opened. Chris walked in dejectedly, and Brent quickly asked, "How is it?""Not good. I took some blood samples for testing. Mr. Miller is poisoned with a rare toxin, likely extracted from several highly poisonous substances.""Were you able to determine what toxins they are?""I've asked the testing department to work as quickly as they can to identify them. We might not be able to deal with them even if we identify them. "I could only inject him with some medication to slow the toxins from spreading to his heart. Isn't Mr. Miller usually very cautious? Why did he get so careless this time?"Kelvin sighed. "It was those bastards' plot. They intentionally found a woman who looked like Mrs. Miller. As you know, Mr. Miller might not have said anything, but he has been missing Mrs. Miller like crazy! "He'd personally fly over every time people reported sightings of Mrs. Mill
Chapter 967
Alora Village was an ancient village on the outskirts of a primeval forest. It wasn't governed by any counties. Since poisonous plants and insects surrounded it, people rarely ventured to the village. In the past, Joel was brought into the village by his mentor. He could still remember how to enter the village. There was a layer of miasma surrounding the village. There were cliffs and precipices to the northern side. If regular people tried entering the village, they would either be killed by poisonous insects or the miasma. Joel had prepared the group in advance, so everyone wore protective suits and gas masks. They entered the village boldly while carrying Ethan. Ethan's condition was worsening by the minute. He was slowly becoming delirious.It was the first time Kelvin had been to a place like this. He felt uneasy even though he was fully protected. He could still see the venomous snakes and scorpions circling them. "Brother, do you hear hissing sounds?"Brent was nex

Mist, forest, giant snake, and young girl.A beam of light shone through the gigantic tree and fell on the girl. She had skin pale as snow, and her face was exquisite. Her eyes were actually green, and her features were well-defined. She was dressed in simple and colorful clothes. The weird thing was she wasn't wearing shoes and was completely barefoot.Around her ankles, she wore two anklets made of multicolored threads adorned with small bells.She was a pretty little girl who exuded an ancient and mysterious aura. She sat on the giant red snake. The girl didn't have the innocence of children her age. She looked down at the group of people condescendingly like a goddess. The beam of light shining on her made her look even more otherworldly, like a saint of legends.She looked at the group cautiously as if asking why they were there.Joel quickly explained, "Young lady, we have a patient who's inflicted with lethal poison. We need to enter the village for a cure. Please let u

The girl was young, but she was obviously well-respected. The villagers who walked past her would greet her. Brent noticed that they didn't treat her like a child. They were very respectful when they talked to her. They would stand up straight and pay respects to her. The girl would nod lightly, but she always remained silent. The group followed her to a bamboo forest. She signaled for them to stop moving. Then, she entered the bamboo forest alone. There was a stream next to the bamboo forest and a stone bridge that looked very exquisite. They saw a gigantic tree a short distance away. It looked like it had been there for over a century. There were some red ribbons hanging on the tree with tiny bells attached to them. They would chime when the winds blew. There weren't any fancy decorations, but it was very cozy. Krystal whispered, "Is the young lady mute?"Joel glared at her. "Shut up before you find yourself in trouble." Brent pointed at a glimpse of red that was a s

Krystal noticed the change in Wendy's expression and hurriedly asked, "Madam Wendy, do you know him?"Wendy's gaze shifted between Krystal's and Ethan's faces. "What's your relationship with him?""I'm his fiancée. Please, save him! He means the world to me. I can't imagine life without him. If you need blood, take mine! We have the same blood type," Krystal responded before Brent or the others could speak up.Brent and the others frowned. They thought it was inappropriate for her to answer so arbitrarily. But Ethan's life was on the line at the moment, so now wasn't the time to address such issues."Do you love him a lot?" Wendy asked.Joel couldn't help but feel like something was off with Wendy's expression."Yes, I've loved him for many years. I'll save him even if it costs me my life!""What a pair of star-crossed lovers." Wendy almost clapped her hands."It's just a shame that I can't save him. You'll have to seek help elsewhere."Then, she waved her hand and asked them

Krystal was dumbfounded. Why wasn't she playing by the rules?"Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think you're in a TV show?" Wendy mocked."Get lost. Don't make a mess of my place!" she yelled as she covered Willow's eyes with her hand. "Don't look at her. You'll soil your eyes."Krystal returned to the room, drenched from head to toe. She cursed aloud, "Who does that weird old hag think she is? She could've just said she wasn't going to help! What did she pour all over me anyway? Why does it stink so much?"Kelvin pinched his nose and backed away. "Stay away, Krystal. I think that's probably urine that has been stored for a long time. I'm sure you wouldn't want Mr. Miller to faint from the stench."Krystal was almost in tears. "Urine? How could she pour urine on me?"Joel sighed. "If I remember correctly, urine is used to ward off the evil spirits here.""But I'm a living and breathing human being. Why would she use urine to drive me away?""It's all because you

Chris said, "Young lady, can you save her?"Willow shook her head. She signaled with her hand.Chris guessed. "Are you saying that you can't, but someone else can?"Willow nodded. "Who is it? Is it Madam Wendy?"Willow shook her head.This time, Chris understood Willow's hand signs. "Are you saying that the person is your mother?" Willow nodded. Chris' eyes lit up. He quickly asked, "Where is your mother now?"Willow made another sign. "Are you saying that she's gone somewhere far away, and you don't know when she'll be back? This won't do. Mr. Miller only has one day left. "Willow, do you have a way to make him live longer so we can wait until your mother returns?"Willow looked at Ethan. The latter's hearing was also affected by the venom. There was a delay in his hearing. He could only hear what Chris was saying after several seconds. He felt all his senses slowly fading away and was sure he was beyond help. He held Willow's hand as he waited for death to

Willow pursed her lips, not saying anything. Reaching out, Wendy caressed her head. "Poor child. You know, your mom worked very hard to be able to leave him."If he knows that you and your mom are still alive, he will lock your mom up again. Do you want that to happen?"Willow shook her head."Then you have to pretend that you don't know him. After all, your mom and the others aren't in the village. As for whether he can survive this or not, it's entirely up to him."Wendy sighed. "Your mom went through a lot of hardship in the past. When she was giving birth to you, she was very close to death. You have to be grateful to her and treasure your hard-earned life."Willow nodded obediently.It was quite odd. Not long after drinking Willow's blood, Ethan could sense that his eyes and ears were getting better. He could even produce simple sounds.In the past, for every hour that passed, the red pattern would advance. After he drank the blood, the toxin seemed to be frozen in
