Chapter 202: Chapter 162: Young Qilin Cup Second Round—Healing Pet Beasts
The Highly Poisonous Lizard resembles a Komodo Dragon from the real world, but it’s slightly smaller in size, covered entirely with purple scales, even its pupils are purple.
Its back is studded with spiky thorns like brambles.
Its teeth, blood, and sharp claws all contain the instant-death venom.
The saliva secreted from its mouth has a strong corrosive effect, comparable to King’s Water.
The venom of the Highly Poisonous Lizard is of extremely high medicinal value.
The Black Water Snake is a highly poisonous type of exotic beast snake, it has a single unicorn horn and is scaleless.
The Black Water Giant Snake, slumbering in the underground sewers, is the evolved form of the Black Water Snake.
It needs to continually hunt and accumulate energy to have a chance to evolve into the Black Water Giant Snake.
Generally speaking, the Black Water Snake is one of the foods of the Highly Poisonous Lizard, and its toxin is not as terrifying as that of the Highly Poisonous Lizard, so how could the Highly Poisonous Lizard show symptoms of poisoning?
Unless it’s not poisoning, it’s an immune response of the Highly Poisonous Lizard’s body.
Ye Bai instantly clarified his thoughts, the second round of the competition allowed for three days, with the scoring criteria based on the time taken to treat the exotic beast, the recovery condition of the beast, and the treatment method for the beast.
However, the final score would also be rated according to the difficulty of the treatment and would be multiplied by a difficulty coefficient.
There was a countdown above the lab, starting the moment the experimental materials arrived.
Treating the Highly Poisonous Lizard was considered a level four surgery with extremely high difficulty.
However, the equipment in this lab was quite comprehensive. Ye Bai put on gloves and touched one of the Highly Poisonous Lizard’s scales.
The originally somewhat restless Highly Poisonous Lizard gradually calmed down under Ye Bai’s soothing touch.
"Highly Poisonous Lizard, to accurately diagnose your condition, I hope you can nod or shake your head to tell me the answer."
"I don’t know if you can understand what I’m saying; if you do, please nod."
The Highly Poisonous Lizard gazed deeply at Ye Bai with its purple pupils, and then nodded.
It seemed this Highly Poisonous Lizard had a decent level of intelligence, comparable to a five-year-old child.
"Did the symptoms of poisoning occur after you fought with the Black Water Snake?"
"Before that, did you eat anything peculiar?"
The Highly Poisonous Lizard racked its brain to recall, it seemed like it consumed a sudden-emerging purple mushroom before fighting with the Black Water Snake.
This purple mushroom was very beautiful, emitting a faint glow and a noble fragrance that made the Highly Poisonous Lizard’s mouth water.
However, it withered shortly after it appeared.
Coincidentally, a mushroom fell into its mouth.
Without thinking, it directly devoured the mushroom.
Recalling this, the Highly Poisonous Lizard nodded directly, confirming it did eat something.
"Alright, I initially judge that you ate something you shouldn’t have, causing an issue with your own immunity."
"To put it metaphorically, you were originally a highly poisonous exotic beast, but you suddenly consumed an antidote, which causes you to be devoid of toxins for some time."
"Originally, your in-body venom could counteract the Black Water Snake’s venom, but after losing your toxins, you couldn’t."
"Thus, the Black Water Snake’s venom would have some effect on you."
"By removing the treatment substance, we can restore the venom in your body, and the symptoms of poisoning will disappear."
"However, we still need to use instruments to examine your body condition to finally confirm."
"Please don’t be nervous, lie down in this equipment, and I’ll conduct a full-body check-up for you, relax."
The Young Qilin Cup was in full swing, the chairman of the organizing committee was clasping his hands, watching the gigantic screen with President Li of the provincial city Cultivator Union.
Almost three hundred people were eliminated in the first round, leaving only two hundred advancing to the second round.
Once the results of the second round are out, it’s estimated only the top fifty will advance to the third round.
According to the Flame Country-level Young Qilin Cup’s participation rules, only the top three students of the provincial level can participate.
If one can rank in the top five of the Flame Country-level Young Qilin Cup, they qualify to represent Flame Country in the World Olympiad Research Competition.
Winning first in the World Olympiad Research Competition grants you exemption from the entrance exams to any prestigious school on Blue Star.
This is what every aspiring researcher dreams of achieving.
However, the World Olympiad Research Competition gathers numerous elites from around the world, and even such a talented researcher as Zhang Lingxue only came in third place when she participated.
The championship and runner-up of that year were both taken by students from the Beautiful Country.
Of course, the participating students from the Beautiful Country were generally older, which is a point of criticism.
President Li and Grandpa Li watched the huge screen, which was divided into two hundred small screens.
Everyone present was watching the every move of the candidates on the screen.
During the final result verification stage, the surveillance footage of each candidate advancing to the next round was reviewed again.
Only upon confirming there’s no sign of cheating would they proceed to the next round.
At this moment, a violent cough came from behind President Li and Grandpa Li.
Jiang Master walked out, looking pale, with an even more declining aura.
