Zhou Wen's advancement was very slow because he didn't know how much venom was needed to kill the strange worms. If the dosage was too high, it might poison Lu Ning to death. He couldn't be too rough.
Thankfully, Zhou Wen had personally experienced the toxicity in-game and knew the approximate dosage needed to be fatal. Although it was his own standard, Lu Ning was at the Epic stage, so her body shouldn't be too weak.
As the venom entered Lu Ning's body bit by bit, Zhou Wen carefully observed the reactions in her body to see if the strange worms would react to the venom.
If they struggled too much, they might damage Lu Ning's body. When that happened, Lu Ning's body would be riddled with holes. It would be useless even if the worms were poisoned to death.
However, at Lu Ning's level, he could only take the risk. If he didn't get rid of the worms, she would die sooner or later.
Thankfully, the worrisome situation didn't happen. After the venom was injected into Lu Ning's body, her body convulsed violently due to the pain. However, this didn't wake her up.
Zhao Xin and company looked at Lu Ning worriedly, but Zhou Wen continued pushing the venom with a deadpan expression. However, he carefully controlled the amount of venom.
It looked like Lu Ning was in pain, but it was only the effects of the venom on her body. It wasn't the work of the strange worms.
The venom flowed along her blood and fused with it, flowing throughout her body. It was very painful, but it was very effective. The strange worms that were attached to her blood vessels quickly stopped squirming after absorbing the blood or simply being corroded by the venom.
Before long, the worms in Lu Ning's body were killed, but this didn't ease Zhou Wen's brows. This was because after the worms died, their corpses remained in Lu Ning's body. This would block her blood vessels, causing her body to suffer from problems.
If he couldn't remove the Blood Threadworms, Lu Ning might not be able to escape death. It could be seen from her unconscious state that her body hadn't fully recovered.
However, to extract the Blood Threadworms from so many tiny blood vessels, and there are so many organs with Blood Threadworms in them, even the best doctor in the world won't be able to cut open the blood vessels and remove the worms, right?
As though sensing Zhou Wen's thoughts, Doctor Darkness transmitted a strong thought, as though telling Zhou Wen that he could do it.
This left Zhou Wen slightly alarmed. Although every Companion Beast had its own will, most Companion Beasts had muddled consciousnesses. Up to now, Zhou Wen only had four Companion Beasts that could clearly express their consciousness.
Truth Listener, Banana Fairy, Ghost Bride, and Doctor Darkness.
"Doctor Darkness was born on the Dead Man Tree. Perhaps he's indeed extraordinary." Zhou Wen was somewhat worried. If Doctor Darkness really gained complete consciousness in the future, would he turn back into that perverted doctor?
Summoning Doctor Darkness, he walked to Lu Ning and held a scalpel with his slender fingers.
Zhao Xin and company looked at Doctor Darkness who was holding the scalpel like a puppet. They knew that it was Zhou Wen's Companion Beast, but they didn't know why Zhou Wen had summoned it.
A Companion Beast performing surgery on a human? They had never even dreamed of such a thing.
Indeed, many Companion Beasts had powerful healing abilities and could even revive the dead, but that was a manifestation of dimensional powers. As for surgery, it was a skill that was completely different from pure strength.
In the next second, Doctor Darkness completely subverted their understanding of Companion Beasts. The scalpel in Doctor Darkness's hand flashed as he sliced through almost all the blood vessels on Lu Ning's body. Then, a needle appeared in his hand as he pushed the poison into Lu Ning's blood vessels. The entire process was so smooth that it made one's hair stand on end.
If it wasn't for the lack of scalpels and various equipment, they would even feel like they were watching the most outstanding doctor perform surgery.
As the poison was pushed in, Lu Ning's body trembled violently once again. Then, blood slowly flowed out from the cut blood vessels. At the same time, the strange hair-like worms flowed out.
"What the hell is this?" Zhao Xin and company jumped in fright when they saw the strange worms. They couldn't help but cry out.
After Doctor Darkness was done, he returned to Zhou Wen's side. Zhou Wen immediately felt depressed as he thought, Don't tell me you're done just like that? If she continues to bleed like this, even though the worms will come out, Lu Ning will still die if she loses too much blood. "
"I want her alive," Zhou Wen said to Doctor Darkness.
Doctor Darkness didn't have the ability to answer. All he did was send a thought to Zhou Wen, as though saying that he was only in charge of extracting the strange worms.
It's no wonder he's called Doctor Darkness even after becoming a Companion Beast. Zhou Wen had no choice but to say to Zhao Xin, "Use your Ivy to help Lu Ning. Don't let her die from excessive blood loss."
When Zhao Xin heard that, he hurriedly summoned the Ivy and got it to secrete Rejuvenation Juice to nourish Lu Ning's injured body.
The Ivy's ability was indeed not bad. Even when the strange worms flowed out of her wounds, Lu Ning didn't die from excessive blood loss. Instead, she woke up.
"Alright, let's stop the bleeding." Zhou Wen used Doctor Darkness's Eyes of Penetration to stare at her. Seeing that all the strange worms had flowed out, he immediately got Zhao Xin and company to stop Lu Ning's bleeding.
The wounds that Doctor Darkness had cut were very small, and most of them were veins. In the beginning, blood kept flowing out due to the effects of the poison, but as the effects of the poison weakened, the blood basically stopped flowing after all the strange worms flowed out. Zhou Wen couldn't help but marvel at Doctor Darkness's control over the poison.
"Lu Ning, how are you feeling? Can you speak? "Zhou Wen asked Lu Ning when he saw her wake up and open her eyes.
Lu Ning's eyes lost focus in the beginning, but after a while, she gradually recovered. When she saw Zhou Wen and company clearly, she wore a puzzled look. She struggled to sit up and asked in a hoarse voice, "Why am I here?"
"It was Young Master Wen who saved you. You might not know this, but you were unconscious when you returned. It was Young Master Wen's Companion Beast that unleashed its might and released the strange worms from your body …" As Zhao Xin spoke, he looked at the strange worms that were tangled together like strands of hair on the ground and couldn't help but shiver.
Just the thought of so many strange worms burrowing into one's body left one shuddering.
When Lu Ning saw the strange worms, her expression changed as though she had finally regained consciousness. Following that, she revealed a look of anger. "Those bastards, Lord Alcohol. They weren't here to help Adjutant An save anyone. After we arrived at the underground battlefield, they suddenly attacked and knocked Adjutant An and me down."
