Chapter: Chapter 438
“This thing is strange.” Pinching the transparent tube between two fingers, Leticia’s deep black eyes stared intently at the bizarre golden liquid in the tube, and she immediately came to a conclusion.
“Even you don’t know what this is?” Hearing Leticia’s words, a hint of disappointment flashed across Linglong’s face. If it was strange, it meant that Leticia didn’t know much about it either.
If Leticia had known what it was, she would have directly stated it, instead of saying “This thing is strange.”
After all, everyone knew that this golden liquid was strange!
“At least I can be sure it’s not some kind of potion. It’s too pure, with no impurities at all.” Shaking the tube in her hand, Leticia explained, “This thing is probably not rare. I’ll take it to test it.”
“Whatever you want. It’s no use to me here, and even if I encounter a dangerous situation, I wouldn’t choose to use this thing.”
In the beginning, Leticia had told Linglong the final outcome for those orc warriors. Regardless of whether those orc warriors had won the war, their lives were bound to end that day.
This golden liquid, at most, would allow a dying person to struggle for a while longer.
And Linglong was a girl who cherished her life. Even when facing a desperate situation, she would never drink such a potion.
After all, even in a desperate situation, there might be a glimmer of hope. But drinking this potion would truly mean certain death.
“I knew I wasn’t mistaken about you. This kind of thing goes against the heavens. Use it as little as possible.” Leticia gave Linglong an appreciative glance. “Alright, now let’s see what this thing really is.”
As she said that, Leticia took out a pile of scattered instruments from her bracelet. These were also placed in the divine artifact space by Kira beforehand, and were even hidden quite well. Leticia had only found these things not long ago.
Carefully pouring the golden liquid from the transparent tube into a test tube filled with clear water, Leticia’s eyes widened, wanting to see clearly what would happen when this liquid came into contact with water.
Would it merge with the water, dyeing the entire tube of water gold?
Or would it not dissolve in water and remain as it was?
The golden liquid gave its own unique answer.
“Holy crap!!!”
Leticia’s hand was steady. She accurately let only one drop of the golden liquid fall into the clear water, but after that, her hand couldn’t stay steady.
The clear water began to boil rapidly as soon as it came into contact with the golden liquid. In almost an instant, the water in the test tube was burned away completely, and the golden liquid, after withering everything around it, finally calmed down again.
Such a reaction truly shocked Leticia. Having been an amateur alchemist for so many years, this was the first time she had ever seen such a phenomenon.
After that, Leticia poured all sorts of liquids into the test tube, even borrowing some dragon blood from Linglong to drip in, but the result was the same. Everything was wiped out by the golden liquid.
Only Linglong’s blood lasted a little longer, but it was only a little longer. In the end, it was completely evaporated by the golden liquid.
“This thing… is too weird. I really can’t guess what it is.” Leticia looked at the golden liquid lying quietly in the test tube with a puzzled expression. “Let’s go outside. I’ll try if my blood can contend with it.”
“Outside?”
“There are still people resting in the room. I think my blood might have a rather intense reaction when it comes into contact with this thing, and it would be bad to disturb others.” Leticia coughed twice with a slight blush, brushing off the matter.
Obviously, the one still sleeping in bed was their Sword Saint, and judging by Leticia’s ability to walk around now, Miss Bai had lost another match last night.
Of course, Leticia couldn’t tell Linglong about such things, could she?
And the facts proved that Leticia’s guess was completely correct, and she might have even underestimated the commotion when her blood came into contact with the golden liquid.
Boom!!!
Looking at the brilliant fireworks blooming not far away, Leticia let out a tsk-tsk exclamation. She had guessed that her blood would be a bit more powerful, but she hadn’t expected such a thing to happen when these two things met.
She had only dripped one drop of blood into the test tube, and as soon as this drop of blood met the golden liquid, the two began a fierce battle. In an instant, the high temperature generated in the test tube made Leticia’s face change greatly.
Her rich experience with failed experiments told her that the tube in her hand was about to explode.
So, under her body’s instinctive control, Leticia threw the tube towards a deserted area. As expected, a few seconds after it left Leticia’s hand, the test tube containing the two drops of liquid turned into brilliant sparks in mid-air.
“Your blood is also that terrifying?!” Linglong was truly startled by the commotion. She looked at Leticia beside her with a very strange gaze, as if she wanted to get to know the girl beside her anew.
Leticia smacked her lips and shook her head, saying, “My blood is very mild. Under certain circumstances, it’s a very precious material.”
Potions made with the blood of a Demon Lord as raw material were absolutely top-notch potions, the kind no one dared to bid on.
Even Leticia herself only had a few doses in stock. While drinking it herself wasn’t very effective, it was a great gift for lower-level individuals.
Such potions could save lives in many situations.
And the golden liquid could never be made into a potion. It couldn’t even coexist with clear water, so how could it be made into a potion?
“But the energy contained in this drop of golden liquid is probably no less than the energy contained in my blood.” Leticia touched her chin, her eyes shining with a bright light. “In other words, the owner of that drop of golden liquid is probably not weaker than me. No, it should be said, absolutely not weaker than me.”
“Ah?” Hearing this, Linglong’s eyes widened. “Stronger than you, Leticia?”
Although she didn’t know how strong Leticia was specifically, Linglong also knew that Leticia’s strength had probably reached a level that mortals could not reach.
“I suspect this golden liquid is also blood, and those orcs who performed strangely yesterday all consumed this liquid. This amount, I dare not even imagine!” Leticia pressed her head, explaining with a helpless expression.
How many orcs used this golden liquid yesterday? Leticia hadn’t counted, but in total, the number was around three digits.
If each orc consumed the same amount of golden liquid, then estimating it simply, the amount of these liquids would not be small. If Leticia had lost so much blood, it would have seriously affected Leticia’s combat power in the near future.
Leticia didn’t think it was a good deal sacrificing her combat power to strengthen some ordinary orc warriors.
“Anyway, this thing is definitely not something the guys from the Steel Spear tribe can produce. Its origin must be problematic.” Leticia brought Linglong back to the room. “It’s okay to drink a little of this liquid, right?”
“Just a little won’t have any effect on the body. My people have already conducted experiments. It seems to have a slight refreshing effect.” Linglong answered subconsciously, then her eyes widened. Leticia asking this, what was she planning to do?
“You’re not thinking of…” drinking it directly?
“Don’t make that face. We don’t even know what this thing is yet.” Leticia opened the stopper on the tube and dipped some golden liquid with a glass rod, making to put it into her mouth.
“Be careful. This is not a joking matter!” Linglong quickly reached out and grabbed Leticia’s hand, trying to stop her from doing anything rash.
Seeing the brilliant fireworks that erupted when Leticia’s blood and the golden liquid met, Linglong was a bit apprehensive. What if Leticia’s head exploded like that test tube after she put this golden liquid into her mouth?
In Linglong’s heart, Leticia was very mysterious and powerful, but this didn’t mean that Leticia would not die no matter what she did.
“Don’t be afraid. My life is much tougher than you think. Tasting a little bit won’t be a problem.” Leticia looked at the fair little hand on her wrist with helplessness, but her heart also felt a little happy. The fact that Linglong intervened at least showed that this girl already had her in her heart.
This was an additional gain, not bad, not bad.
But this couldn’t stop her reckless behavior. Her strength was much greater than Linglong’s.
“Calm down! We still don’t know what this thing is!” Linglong tightly gripped Leticia’s wrist, trying to stop the hand that was slowly approaching her mouth.
However, Leticia’s strength was truly beyond her expectations. The seemingly delicate Leticia could completely suppress her in a test of strength. She tried her best but couldn’t stop Leticia’s hand.
Just as Leticia opened her mouth to take the glass rod dipped with the golden liquid, a sharp sword energy, almost invisible to the naked eye, appeared from the void and cleanly cut the glass rod in Leticia’s hand into two pieces.
At the same time, a phantom-like figure appeared beside Leticia, reaching out and catching the half of the glass rod that was falling towards the ground.
After doing all this, this person then reached out and knocked hard on Leticia’s head, “Reckless again?”
“Hey! What do you mean reckless? This is rigorous scientific research!” Leticia covered her head and retorted unhappily.
Linglong, who had been holding Leticia’s hand just now, immediately let go of her hand after this person appeared and retreated to the side obediently.
If there was anyone else present who could suppress the overbearing Leticia, it was probably this lady here.
Miss Bai helplessly put the half glass rod into an empty instrument nearby. She was still wearing pajamas, with a faint blush on her face and a messy head of white hair. At a glance, it was obvious that she had just woken up.
Or rather, she had just been woken up by the commotion outside.
“Rigorous scientific research means stuffing this kind of thing into your mouth, right? And you’re a demon, you should use magic; science is for humans.” Miss Bai looked at the pouting Leticia and couldn’t help but hit the Demon Lord’s head again. “Don’t think your life is so tough.”
“My situation is special. Yin told me before…” Leticia still wanted to quibble, but Miss Bai didn’t give her the chance.
Without waiting for Leticia to finish speaking, Miss Bai directly reached out and covered Leticia’s mouth. “That’s just what she said. Whether it’s true or not is still uncertain.”
“I don’t think she would lie to me.”
“But I don’t think she’s trustworthy.”
“You’re getting more and more unreasonable.”
“Thank you for the compliment.” Shifting her gaze to the golden liquid that Leticia had wanted to consume, a hint of curiosity flashed in Miss Bai’s eyes. “Is this what those orcs ate yesterday?”
To say that she had no interest in this thing would be a lie. If Leticia’s research method wasn’t so radical, Bai Ling certainly wouldn’t have come out to stop the Demon Lord’s research.
It was just that the research method of directly putting it into her mouth was indeed a bit too wild. Bai Ling didn’t want the Demon Lord, whom she had just “eaten and cleaned up” a couple of days ago, to leave her forever for such a ridiculous reason.
(Of course, there was some disagreement between them on the issue of who eats whom.)
“Yes. I just tested it against many liquids. The phenomenon was quite peculiar.” Leticia briefly told Bai Ling what she had just done, and then added, “My blood didn’t become manic. It could basically coexist harmoniously with other liquids.”
As she said that, Leticia lightly tapped her index finger with her fingertip, drawing out a drop of blood.
Putting this drop of blood into a clean test tube, Leticia beckoned Linglong to also give some blood.
Just a drop of blood, Linglong certainly wouldn’t refuse. In fact, she was also very curious to see what changes would occur after Leticia’s blood met hers.
“Leticia, your blood is a bit beautiful.” Looking at the dark red liquid with specks of colorful light lying in the test tube, Linglong couldn’t help but exclaim.
This was the first time she had seen such peculiar blood.
“It’s a long story. Anyway, at our level, our own blood will undergo some small changes.” Leticia scratched her head, unable to tell Linglong that her blood had these special effects because she was a god.
Her blood didn’t have these colorful effects at first. She only gained these colorful effects after defeating the Dream God.
