Chapter 1290

"This centipede is called a Red Dragon Centipede and its poison is ten times stronger than normal centipedes. Mo Chuan, do you know where this centipede's poison is?"

Chen Ning took out the Red Dragon Centipede and placed it on the table. She looked up at Mo Chuan with a faint smile as she asked this.

How could Mo Chuan know? He didn't want to know at all.

Although he was not afraid of centipedes, seeing that the centipede's curved body was similar to a snake's, his heart felt numb.

How could this girl's courage be this big? Holding this kind of poisonous thing, her expression did not change at all. She even had a smile on her face, as if what she was holding was a rare treasure.

However, perhaps these poisonous snakes and centipedes were rare treasures in her eyes.

This was because when she saw these poisonous snakes, her eyes sparkled. She was even more excited than when she saw jewellery or rouge.

It was a good thing that Chen Ning did not need him to answer. She took out a small knife and cut off the front legs of the centipede in a very skilled manner.

"Many people's expressions change when they mention centipedes, thinking that their entire body is poisonous, but this is a mistake. The centipede's poison is mainly concentrated in its head, or more accurately, its front legs. Cutting off a centipede's head, not only is it not poisonous, its body is actually a delicacy. Mo Chuan, have you eaten fried centipede meat before?"

Chen Ning dealt with the poison sac on the centipede's front legs while explaining in detail to Mo Chuan.

Mo Chuan's expression kept changing and his lips kept twitching.

"I've never eaten it before."

He said in a stiff voice as he stared at the red and black centipede. He was thinking that even if he died, he wouldn't eat this ugly and disgusting poisonous centipede.

Chen Ning poured the poison from the poison sac into a small crystal bowl. Hearing Mo Chuan's strange voice, she looked up at him and saw him staring at the centipede with a look of disgust. She couldn't help pursing her lips into a smile.

After she dealt with the poison sac, she walked over and used a small knife to cut off the centipede's head. She gently peeled off the outer shell, revealing the snow white meat.

"If this centipede meat is fried and mixed with spices, it would be an incomparable delicacy. The more poisonous the centipede is, the more delicious its meat is. It's a pity that this kind of red dragon centipede is hard to come by, otherwise I could fry several dozen of them for you to eat and you wouldn't be able to stop eating."

She regretfully placed the centipede meat to the side and then gave a sigh.

Although the centipede meat was snow white and looked very pretty, Mo Chuan's heart was still a bit scared.

He did not have any interest in eating centipedes at all.

"Ning 'er, is this grass poisonous?" Mo Chuan moved his attention away from the centipede and looked at her busy hands.

At this time, she was holding a stalk of hay in her hand, and was grinding it into powder in the stone mill.

"This kind of grass is called Delphinium. It is not poisonous, but everything in the world is mutually exclusive. When the originally harmless Delphinium meets the venom of the Red Dragon Centipede, it will produce a miraculous effect."

Chen Ning explained with a faint smile. Some of this knowledge came from her memory palace and some was just passed on to her by Gu Qingze.

For example, the formula of the medicine she was concocting right now had miraculous effects that she had never heard of before.

"Oh, what effect will there be?" Mo Chuan's eyes filled with interest.

Looking at Mo Chuan who was like a curious baby, Chen Ning raised her brows and smiled.
