Chapter 453 Snake Venom
The chill creeps up along Lilith's wrist bones little by little, and the scaly snake body slowly wraps around her arm. The circular muscles flow like liquid mercury, and Lilith can't help shivering with every inch they tighten.
"Oh, look at them, what cute, clingy little creatures!" The pet shop was deserted, with only two people inside at the moment. One of them just sighed, and the other -
Lilith had a stiff smile on her face. She held down a snake head with each hand, and pressed each of them against a different cup, jamming their fangs into the cup walls. She watched the two different colors of snake venom slowly flow down. Because both of her hands were occupied, when the snake entangled her body, the only thing she could do was to wail silently in her heart.
"Teacher Terra." Lilith felt the strong pressure on her arm and wanted to cry but had no tears. "I want to fight void beasts in the future. Why do you insist on desensitizing me to this thing?"
"Oh, maybe it's because you look so cute like this." Mrs. Terra rested her elbows on the table and laughed evilly.
What an unsurprising answer. Lilith tried hard to ignore the feeling on her arm and pressed the snake's head. In the past in class she had always pushed this kind of work to Catherine. Wow, if I had known I should have dragged her in just now.
"Be gentle, don't kill my baby." Madam Terra soothed the strange bird standing on the shelf, ready to shoot at the snake. "Although it looks like it has two heads, if you kill one, both will die."
"Perhaps as a deformity, death is a relief." Lilith said harsh words, but she did not dare to use any more force with her hands.
"What do you mean by deformed? In some remote southern tribes, they are totemic beasts called the Ice and Fire Balance. People there believe that they can distinguish between good and evil in people's hearts. Look, doesn't it like you very much?"
Lady Terra hooked up the snake's tail to help Lilith get rid of the snake's entanglement, but after a while its tail wrapped around her again. The disgust on the girl's face made Lady Terra laugh.
"What is Teacher Wanda going to do now? You're not going to give us this stuff to drink in the future, are you?" Lilith tried to shrink her face as much as possible, but the unique damp and unpleasant smell of this snake venom, like the corroded brass, made her unable to avoid it and it kept lingering at the tip of her nose.
"Hehe, yes and no." Mrs. Terra did not deny it, which made Lilith's face look even more bitter.
"Don't worry, it won't be that fast." Madam Terra leaned over to observe the amount of snake venom in the glass bottle and sighed, "Ozler's medicine is in urgent need, and they sent a request for help, wanting some potential potions that will work faster and have better effects. During this holiday, the teachers of all grades in the Potions Department have been busy and have been trying to improve the potions."
"Use, use snake venom?" Lilith widened her eyes.
The two heads of the Frost Cinder Two-Headed Snake used to extract the venom were both triangular, but the colors were completely different. They naturally merged together after extending from the head, which was very weird. Both of its venoms were fatal, but they also had a strong potion-amplifying effect. The life-shortening potential potion that Senior Hall wanted to get before the game required this kind of snake venom.
"But wouldn't drinking the potential potion with snake venom added to it greatly damage your life and shorten your life?" Lilith frowned. From just a few words, she could tell that Ozler's current condition was not good. Catherine was afraid that she would be busy again.
"That's the only solution, dear." The venom was almost squeezed out, and Lady Terra signaled Lilith to stop. She lit the pipe again, inhaled the purple smoke and blew it towards the two snake heads. Lilith felt that the snakes under her hands were no longer restless, and the force that had been twisting her arms disappeared. "Wanda and the others are so busy to reduce the side effects of adding snake venom and minimize the side effect of shortening life."
"Okay, put it back." Mrs. Terra stood up, waved her arms a few times, and the lid automatically jumped onto the bottle and was tightened.
"We have graduates coming every year, why is it still like this..." Lilith sighed as she faced the wall of snake cabinets and listened to the rustling sounds inside.
"The speed of training a warrior and magician is no match for the speed of the reproduction of void beasts." Lady Terra stuffed two bottles of snake venom into her hand as she turned around. "Perhaps everything we do is just a struggle before destruction."
"...Will we lose?" The lights in the magic pet shop were dim. People would become depressed if they stayed in this kind of environment for a long time. Lilith looked at the two bottles of slightly turbid venom in her hands and suddenly asked in a low voice.
Then he suddenly started to wonder what she was talking about!
"No." Lilith asked herself and answered her own questions, "We will definitely win!"
"...You seem to have great confidence in your royal girlfriend!" Lady Terra found Lilith's performance very interesting.
"Of course!" Lilith turned around and nodded as a matter of course, "We gained a lot during this holiday!"
"Haha, including this little thing in your hand?" Lady Terra glanced at the vivid lizard totem on the palm of Lilith's right hand.
"Uh, haha, well, when you go on a long journey, you always have to bring back some local specialties!" Lilith covered her right hand and said stubbornly, "Now humans can also use Black Stone Duo's teleportation array. We used that to come back."
Regardless of whether the dwarves agree or not, she has decided to spread the news of the alliance between the two races.
Lady Terra was a little surprised. It seemed that the princess of Bishop was indeed not idle. However, she did not comment much, but only reminded Lilith, "The blood oath is not a trivial matter, young girl. Wait, if Colin sees it, he will definitely scold you severely."
"It will definitely disappear before he sees it." Lilith was fearless. She had already stored the snake venom and avoided all kinds of snakes, insects, rats and ants along the way. She pushed the door open and took a deep breath of the fresh air outside. "Teacher, is there anything else I can help you with?"
However, one foot has clearly taken a step forward.
"Let's talk about it next time." Having accomplished the goal of teasing the students today, Lady Terra became bored again and waved at Lilith.
The smile on Lilith's face immediately became genuine. She finally didn't have to smell the rotten and smelly snake venom anymore. In order to prevent Lady Terra from changing her mind, she ran out to the street as soon as the lady finished speaking, leaving only the wind chimes on the door making pleasant sounds behind her.
"Dingling--dinging--"
