Chapter 250 An Su: Why Not Just Poison All the Enemies to Death?



Twilight deepened its gloom, as dusk enshrouded the distant Plague Forest. The evening breeze rustled through the trees, stirring the dry, hardened carcasses to make a rustling sound.

Plague Hounds opened their crimson eyes and began to slowly awaken. They let out soft growls from the depths of their throats and lithely leaped onto branches, gnawing on severed limbs and remains. While they ate, layers upon layers of festering pustules around their mouths burst open and oozed pus.

Their hunger intensified.

The forest's edge bordered a small town established on pale green hills, whose inhabitants had all been infected with the plague before being devoured by the Plague Dogs, leaving only the town's sole library untouched by the epidemic.

The Plague Dogs emerged from the forest and began to roam the empty town streets. An Su leaned against the window, carefully observing these Apostles of the Plague with a thoughtful expression.

The Chaos Virus, researched by the Esoteric Sect Followers, was spread by these very Apostles of the Plague. Their strength was feeble, but a single bite was lethal.

There were two tasks inside this room,

One was to concoct a plague antidote within thirty minutes, and the other was to attempt to resolve the issue of the human mortality rate being higher than that of the Esoteric Sect.

As for the saint herself being infected with the virus and set to lose her senses in thirty minutes — An Su didn't care about that at all.

As an examinee from the Celestial Empire, An Su excelled at grasping the intentions of the main characters, and it was clear that this was the trap of the test. There was no requirement in the room's tasks to heal oneself; as long as one didn't die, losing one's senses would just have to do.

All that mattered was completing the two tasks within thirty minutes.

Moreover, An Su watched the voracious Second Tier Plague Dogs downstairs and slightly furrowed his brow... there was a hidden trap in this question too. The saints likely didn't have thirty minutes to concoct the antidote, for the ravenous dogs wandering in the town might attack at any moment.

A way had to be found to eliminate these spreaders of the plague... so as not to be disturbed by them.

An Su turned and walked towards the concoction station. The Church had prepared an abundance of materials and tools, including various biological materials, a complete set of high-tier bio-transformation dishes, two sets of Druidic Ritual Implements, and a full Alchemical Energy Supply Array, with sufficient magic power for supply.

In this room, aside from banning all the examinees' Healing Magic, the Church had not forcibly reduced the examinees' Ranks, so An Su was still at the Fourth Tier, and her spiritual power was also at the level of a saint. High spiritual power was also helpful in concocting Druidic Magic Potions.

"Meow." Luo Xiaohei, perched on An Su's shoulder, looked at the heap of holy materials and began to fret.

She wasn't skilled at concocting forest magic potions, let alone antidotes.

As one of the chosen of the Seven Great Esoteric Sects, the Elf specialized only in creating viruses and evil creatures...

Years ago, in the Seven Great Esoteric Sects' virus creation competition, she had been at the forefront, pioneering an unprecedented Demon Net virus capable of paralyzing the magic power supply of alchemical matrices, leaving all adjacent Plague Cultists without magic power to concoct viral potions, and claimed the first prize.

However, the District Bishop of the Plague later declared that her virus lacked a physical form and could neither spread widely nor kill people, disqualifying it as a virus and nullified her achievement.

So that very night, the Elf infected the entire city's Demon Net, then widely disseminated the Bishop of Plague's private photos, home address, appearance, age, and social relationships through the Magic Circuit, until the Order Church, following these clues, apprehended the Bishop and beheaded him the next day.

She had thus achieved both a widespread impact and a killing. For such illustrious disobedience, Luo Xiaohei was too proud to boast to An Su.

At that thought, she haughtily puffed out her chest.

Seeing Luo Xiaohei like this, An Su knew the cat couldn't be relied upon, and that he had to figure it out himself.

"This time, the kid shouldn't be able to cause any trouble."

At this very moment, in the third-floor monitoring room of the Alchemical Church, a kindly old man said with a smile. He was clad in an emerald green robe, with a Druid's forest badge fastened to his waist, lined with a Red Robe signifying the Cardinal's status.

This elder was the one who set the task for the Druid room, and the saints affectionately referred to him as Bishop Noah. An expert among experts in concocting Healing Magic Potions, he had created the vaccine to counteract the Demon Net virus spread by the Chaotic Saintess.

He had heard that a thorn had sprung up among the new generation of the Church, wreaking havoc in the Alchemy exam, and was curious to take a look.

But, even the most evil child couldn't be worse than the Esoteric Witch,

After witnessing the lowest depths of human morality, Bishop Norman was quite at ease.

"There are two solutions to resolve the issue of saints' mortality rate being higher than that of the chaotic creatures."

Bishop Noah explained to two other Bishops beside him with a smile,

"One is the solution of the utmost simplicity, to directly tackle the Chaos Virus and develop a Healing Magic Potion. The second method is more circumventive, directly targeting the Apostles of the Chaos Virus — the Plague Hounds. If they can be purified and improved with a Magic Potion to no longer spread the virus, the problem could be solved as well, though this approach is much more difficult."

The high-tier bio-transformation dish was prepared specifically for purifying the aberrant Plague Hounds.

All creatures in the Nether World couldn't escape the word 'circuit'; Mages have Magic Circuits in their bodies, Alchemical Items have Alchemic Circuits, and naturally, all creatures have biological circuits within them.
