338: The most natural acting is being unaware

Chapter 337: The Most Natural Acting is Being Unaware

Just as he feared, it happened. Dick's right hand turned deathly pale, and he knelt on the ground, groaning incessantly, his forehead covered in fine beads of sweat. He looked as if he was enduring immense pain.

"Ah... Ahh!! My hand feels like countless poisonous insects are gnawing at it, deep into the bone marrow, it hurts so much! Ahh..."

Since the "Take a Sip" plan was a spur-of-the-moment idea, no one, including the girls, knew about it. Coupled with Dick's superb acting, it quickly caused a huge commotion.

"Dick!"

Mina, who was closest, immediately rushed over to support Dick, her pretty face pale. She was clearly frightened by Dick's "miserable state."

"His hand is so cold..." Alice was relatively calmer. She immediately began to examine Dick's poisoned right hand, her expression grave.

Dick's body was deteriorating rapidly. The White Snow Wolf Poison invaded at an extremely fast speed. After only about ten seconds, Dick's entire right arm had turned snow-white.

Touching it felt like touching a block of ice, cold and hard!

Alice had read in books that Dick's current symptoms were undoubtedly caused by White Snow Wolf Poison, which was an incurable chronic poison.

"It's White Snow Wolf Poison, it's over... What, what should we do..."

After confirming the poison Dick had contracted, Alice also panicked. She had no idea what to do.

Cecilia, having been part of the Amyria Royal Family, had more knowledge than Alice and seemed to know a method of detoxification.

With a fierce expression, she directly drew the short dagger from her waist, grabbed Dick's poisoned right hand, and made a cut.

Clap!

Although Dick was still groaning in pain, he immediately grabbed Cecilia's hand holding the knife and frowned, saying, "What are you doing?"

"Of course, I'm amputating it. Before the wolf poison invades your lungs and heart, we must cut off your right hand now. Sacrifice the pawn to save the king!"

Saying this, Cecilia aimed at Dick's right shoulder and was about to stab down fiercely.

"It's too late!"

Dick tore open his upper garment, revealing his unusually snow-white right chest, and sighed, "The wolf poison has already invaded my internal organs. Amputation is useless!"

"Ah... How could it be so fast..."

At this point, Cecilia was also helpless. It wasn't like she could amputate everything below Dick's head.

Clang!

Cecilia's short dagger fell to the ground, her eyes were soaked with tears, and she knelt beside Dick, sobbing uncontrollably.

Looking at the grief-stricken Cecilia, Dick secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, he had just made a slight adjustment to accelerate the wolf poison's invasion, otherwise, he really wouldn't have had a reason to stop her.

Not informing the girls about the "Take a Sip" plan via telepathy was precisely for their current genuine reactions!

Dick was full of confidence in his own acting, but the girls' acting... was another matter.

No matter what, Afra was an Elf nearly two hundred years old. Any slight flaw could affect the "Take a Sip" plan!

Dick pursued perfection, and coupled with this being a temporary plan, he didn't reveal it to the girls after considering various factors.

And at this moment, among the girls, Xiao Nai's reaction was actually the best.

No, it was even a bit too good.

Because below the Twisted Witch's task, Xiao Nai's avatar had started to turn from green to gray.

"Dick... Are you going to die..."

Xiao Nai stood in place with vacant eyes, muttering words. Her ability to cope was actually the worst among the girls.

Dick raised an eyebrow and immediately went forward to hug Xiao Nai, leaning close to her ear and gently saying, "It will get better, don't worry."

"Dick..."

Xiao Nai's nose stung. Dick was the one injured, yet she was the one being comforted.

Looking at Xiao Nai who was crying loudly, Dick finally felt relieved.

It was good that she could cry.

What Dick feared most was Xiao Nai not saying a word, her expression blank, bottling up her emotions. That would 100% lead to yandere tendencies.

Half an hour later, in a bumpy carriage, Fama held Dick's right arm, continuously transferring his warm magic power into it.

This was not casting a healing spell, but rather to impede the poison from invading his heart, buying Dick time.

After a brief discussion, Leon suggested that Dick should quickly return to the Bit Family. If he could receive help from a high-level Healer, he might be able to save his life.

This was exactly what Dick wanted, as currently, the highest-level Healer in the Bit Family was undoubtedly Afra!

Soon, Dick would naturally receive Afra's treatment, and after a few maneuvers, he would naturally... Take a Sip!

Combining his previous experiences and after several calculations, Dick believed his success rate for taking a sip was at least 80%!

Although the Bit Family had many high-level Healers, Dick knew his own body best.

Without Afra's personal treatment, he wouldn't recover, and his symptoms would only get worse.

Dick was confident that he could make those high-level Healers helpless, leaving only Afra to personally step in!

"That's strange, I remember White Snow Wolf Poison is a chronic toxin, how could it be so rapid..."

Feeling Dick's cold body, Fama looked puzzled.

Over the years, Fama had seen victims of White Snow Wolf Poison, and every one of them could last for several months.

No one was like Dick, who was about to die just after being poisoned, let alone with him, a Level 72 Mage, helping.

"Sigh, don't forget, the White Snow Wolf Poison on me came from the Wolf Mother. She was a Level 69 Snow Wolf!"

Regarding Dick's explanation, Fama nodded slightly. There was indeed this possibility.

The higher the level of the Snow Wolf, the more potent its wolf poison would be, and it might even exhibit various changes. These were all possible.

Fama was not a virologist, and his doubts quickly disappeared, replaced by annoyance.

"Hmph, you kid still knows the Wolf Mother was a Level 69 Snow Wolf, yet you dare to touch her remains. You're truly incredibly stupid..."

Fama was genuinely angry. The Elite assessment was already over, and they could happily proceed with the Rite Trial next, but Dick had to cause trouble again.

Fama couldn't understand it. Dick was clearly so cautious and clever before, even capable of scheming against him, so how could he make such an utterly foolish mistake?

It's retribution, this must be retribution. Dick paid the price for his arrogance!

Why should a young man under twenty be able to easily scheme against those high-level powerhouses?

He was the Underground City Championship champion and the youngest Class B Special-grade in history. Dick encountered all the good things, why don't you ascend to heaven?

The world values fairness, and Dick deserved to die here!

Looking at the pained Dick, Fama felt a surge of satisfaction in his heart, but at the same time, he was also a little worried.

"If you can't be cured, at least take me to participate in the Rite Trial before you die, understand?"

"Of course," Dick nodded with difficulty, and said seriously, "I promised you something, and I will definitely do it."

Hearing this, Fama's expression softened slightly. He didn't believe Dick could survive at all, nor did he care if Dick could live.

The Wolf Mother's poison was so terrifying, the Healers of the Bit Family probably wouldn't be able to do anything either, unless Afra personally took action...

However, Fama soon felt he was overthinking things.

Who was Afra? She was a Flower Elf, backed by the legendary Didalian Family, her status was supreme.

Dick, a mere human boy, was not qualified at all to have Afra take action!

Fama believed that after learning Dick was about to die, Afra would probably just sneer.
