Chapter 29: Bloodroot

The young man was anti-tossing. Joan slept like a corpse last night. When he woke up in the morning, he recovered his energy. Kandy was very careful. He carefully looked at him for a long time at breakfast, and finally found a white hair on his head as expected.
Pulling out that white hair by hand, Condy sternly warned Joan not to be too desperate, beware of excessive brain use, before aging.
Joan now is full of magic in his head, and his hair is not an important organ. Even if he has white hair overnight, he doesn't care, let alone a white hair. However, he couldn't help expressing his kindness, and decided to shorten the time of daily specialization in magic to 12 hours. In addition, he would go to the swamp every two days to visit Gray, two I will continue to help Dr. Kairandil to catch leeches and collect herbs. There is no need to stay focused on casting spells while away, for Joanne, this is even a holiday for his brain.
At ten o'clock in the morning on February 14, Joan walked into the Lizard Marsh again two days later. Just before the dirt where Grey first met him, Joan saw a gray figure sitting down under the broken pine tree.
"Gray, I'm back!" Joan shouted at Tupo.
The gray bag beast jumped up in surprise, and ran down in three and two steps. He could not help but hug Joan, and threw him up excitedly.
Joan felt like a cannonball, shot at the sky with a swish, the wind whispered in his ear, and his face was pale with fright. Fortunately, Gray only made a slightly rude joke with him. When he fell from the sky, he raised his hand to catch it and put it firmly on his shoulder.
Joan sat on the wide shoulders of the Grey Bag Beast, and after a while he panted evenly, patting the back of Gray's head, and counted down angrily: "You want to scare me! Don't play this dangerous game in the future!"
Gray grinned and smiled, wondering if he listened.
"Gray, take me back to your cave. There are bloodroots growing in that area. I want to collect some." Joan said with a sign.
Gray barely understood his intentions, nodded cleverly, and took a big step toward the home.
This time Gray took a short cut, and it took less than half an hour to land on the island hidden in the reeds.
Joan jumped off the shoulder of the gray bag, moved his numb legs and feet, and then walked towards the grass behind the cave.
Gray followed him step by step, curious in his eyes. Seeing Joan squat down to gather a piece of grass, Gray's blankness increased a bit. He had some impressions of this purple root plant. If the grass was not stepped on very much, the milky white slurry from the roots and the skin was numb and itchy and uncomfortable. It didn't understand why Joan felt the poisonous grass. interest.
"The root rhizome extract of Bloodroot has a calming effect and is very effective for treating symptoms such as insomnia, epilepsy, and mental disorders." Joan recapitulated the explanatory text in the pharmacy manual given by Dr. Kailandil. As for Whether Gray can understand it is unknown.
A "blood root grass" with complete roots can be sold at the high price of 5 silver coins in Dr. Kailandir's clinic, which is equivalent to Joan catching 50 leeches, and the labor is slightly more. This is obviously a more efficient way to make money.
Joan swept around the cave and collected a total of 44 "bloodroots". He plans to sell half of it to doctors, leaving half to practice the skills of refining medicine.
It's already difficult to find bloodroots nearby, and there may be a little further away, and Joan tells Gray to pay attention to other areas in the swamp where bloodroots grow. Sit back in the cave, drink some water, take a breath, and then catch the leech.
Catching leeches is really a boring job. Gray looked around for a while, probably bored, and jumped into the mud to take a bath. While enjoying himself, suddenly he turned and jumped up, the mud splashed Joan.
"What's wrong, Gray?" Joan looked at the Grey Beast in surprise.
"Moge!!" Gray growled angrily, groping for a few seconds with his backhand near the butt, pulling out a black snake with a length of two feet and a prismatic head.
This water snake is as small as an earthworm compared to the tall gray bag, but it has a fierce habit that is disproportionate to its size. It wraps around Gray's wrist and bites its arm.
Joan initially saw Gray's bitten by a snake and couldn't help laughing, but soon realized that the black water snake was likely to be poisonous and quickly reminded Gray to throw it away.
Gray himself didn't care. With its thick skin and thick body, the bite of this snake is like a normal person bitten by mosquitoes. Moreover, it has been in the swamp for many years and has already developed resistance to various toxins. This water snake is in his eyes It is nothing more than a toy.
When he was bitten by a water snake, Gray was not in a hurry or annoyance, but just clenched his fist, and his arm muscles immediately tightened, like a twisted steel bar, which easily broke the snake teeth into the skin, and the newly injected snake venom was also forced come out.
Joan saw a trace of black blood oozing out of Gray’s arm, and suddenly remembered that a pharmacy experiment was recorded in Kairandil’s pharmacy handbook: the snake venom and bloodroot grass slurry were mixed in a ratio of 1 to 20, and the prepared mixture was injected. In the living body, it will quickly react with the blood, causing part of the limb and even the whole body of the living body to be paralyzed. If the injection dose is large, it may even paralyze the heart of the creature, unable to breathe, and die from suffocation in a short time.
"Gray, don't kill the snake first, I want to be useful!" Joan said loudly at the gray bag.
Gray turned and walked over, throwing the poisonous water snake ashore.
Joan thought without hesitation to play the "hand of the High Master", holding down the still-twisting water snake, freed his hands to unpack the backpack, took out a glass condiment bottle, and emptied the salt inside to collect snake poison.
There were so many water snakes in the mud, and Joan couldn’t care about catching leeches for the next afternoon. With the help of Gray, he caught hundreds of poisonous snakes, cut the jaws of the poisonous snakes with a dagger, and took out the poisonous glands to squeeze out the venom. Collect bottles.
When the sun was setting, Joan was already full of a bottle of snake venom, carrying his suitcase and going home. Gray's eyes were full of reluctance, but he no longer forced him to stay as before, picking Joan on his shoulders as he came, striding across the swamp, striding him all the way to the swamp. Looking north from here, vaguely visible buildings in Delin Town, every household raised smoke.
"Gray, see you tomorrow!" Joan waved goodbye to the Grey Beast and took his suitcase to go home.
