Chapter 969

The girl was young but she was obviously well-respected. The villagers who walked past her would greet her.

Brent noticed that they didn’t treat her like a child. They were very respectful when they talked to her.

They would stand up straight and pay respects to her.

The girl would nod lightly, but she always remained silent.

The group followed her to a bamboo forest. She signaled for them to stop moving. Then, she entered the bamboo forest alone.

There was a stream next to the bamboo forest and a stone bridge that looked very exquisite.

They saw a gigantic tree a short distance away. It looked like it had been there for over a century. There were sred ribbons hanging on the tree with tiny bells attached to them. They would chime when the winds blew.

There weren’t any fancy decorations, but it was very cozy.

Krystal whispered, “Is the young lady mute?”

Joel glared at her. “Shut up before you find yourself in trouble.”

Brent pointed at a glimpse of red that was a short distance from them. Krystal felt her skin crawl when she saw the dark green eyes. That was the giant red snake they saw in the forest. It had been following them all along.

After a while, an old lady cout of a wooden hut. Joel quickly went up to her.

“You’re Aunt Wendy. I’m Joel. You saved my life before. Do you remember me?”

Wendy was quite old but quick on her feet, and her eyes were bright. She didn’t exhibit the typical signs of aging, like blurry vision and hearing loss.

She wore an outfit similar to the girl’s. Her white hair was held in place with a hairpin.

She looked energetic and carefree. “Oh, hi, Joel. 40 years just passed in the blink of an eye, didn’t it?

You’re still the same. I told you, you wouldn’t grow any taller.”

Joel blushed at the memory. At that time, he was severely poisoned, and his teacher brought him here when he was only in his teens.

Back then, Wendy was in her 40s. She was still in her prand looked younger than other people her age.

She had a fiery temper. After curing him, she told him that he would never grow taller again. Joel drank a lot of milk and played a lot of basketball after he returned home.

But his height remained at around 5.5 feet. He was shorter than the younger people in the group, like Brent.

“Aunt Wendy, you haven’t changed a bit. It’s nice to see you. Can you please save this kid? He’s been poisoned with Ninefold Venom.”

Wendy sighed. “This is a tough one. Ninefold Venom is a combination of nine toxins. If I get even one of them wrong, the antidote might becpoison too. It would only speed up his demise.”

Chris quickly took out the examination report and said, “Madam Wendy, please help us out. We’ve already

Identified the toxins. Please take a look. We’ll get you whatever you need for the antidote.”

“Alright, bring him in. I’ll take a look.”

They quickly brought Ethan into a hut.

“Take off his shirt for me.”

“Yes, Ma’am.”

Krystal was about to do it, but Brent and Kelvin didn’t give her the chance to do so. They quickly removed the protective clothing that Ethan was wearing.

Joel rolled up Ethan’s sleeves and unbuttoned the top of his shirt. The red pattern had already spread to his shoulders and his abdomen.

He only had one day left.

“He doesn’t have much tleft,” Wendy said softly.

“Yeah, It took us one day to get here. Aunt Wendy, he’s very important to me. I’ll do whatever you want if you can save his life.”

Wendy took off Ethan’s gas mask. His face was covered with the red pattern too.

She was momentarily stunned when she saw his face. “He…”
