I breathed in and out
There wasn't a speck of scar upon my body
"That was terrifying"
My soul literally almost vacated out of my body. A genuinely horrifying experience, and did the system popped out for a couple of seconds back then? I think I got a new system feature for a fun experiment later
"Okay, did I finished my Quest?"

"I HAVEN'T FINISHED IT!?"
Don't tell me that the one I'm fighting just now wasn't the Zoi Antido!!
"Shit! Shit! Shit"
I was a moron!
Wait! Did the deer is still alive?
...
"I hope you're not dead yet"
I approached the deer that laid limply on the ground. I remembered that the toxin is paralyzing, after comparing the brat and this giant deer. Maybe it took a while for the poison to be fatal
"I'm sorry deer, but you're going to die"
Filled with anxiety. I gently hold the spearhead on its neck
And messed it up badly

"Haha... Hahaha... HAHAHAHA"
The madness is killing me!
"Poor Zoi Antido"
The blood spilled all over me, and did my strength just increased just now?
Besides all of the crazy things that are happened. I feel like I was forgotten about something ...

"THE ANTIDOTE!!"
I have seven minutes left. The brat must be moaning in agony
The antler of the Zoi Antido is almost the same size as my body — but larger. The Sub-Quest only told me to grind it and take the dust
"HOW DO I FRICKIN' GRIND THIS!!"
Who in the world would tell a harmless child to grind a giant deer antler into dust! I don't have goddamn the tool!!
Wait! This area is surprisingly moist and upon a closer inspection. There are so many kinds of rock here. I didn't realize it when I was fighting the Zoi Antido, but it might be possible — considering this is once a place with an abundance of water flow in the underground, and there is a chance of a near water source dampened this soil area, With a place with a lot of stone ...
I scavenged stone upon stone until I finally found what I'm looking for. It doesn't take long to find it
A natural whetstone
I never thought this much moisture is enough to make a whetstone, but if it was used to be a small pond and such — then it's enough chance for an abrasive stone to appear. I was lucky to have the one made by nature composed of silicon carbide, and this dampened property of the area preserved it with care as well
[ Time left: 0:06:00 ]|
I gently rubbed the surface of the antler with force, and then extremely grind it with all my might
"Hahaha. A good knife will do the trick, but a lucky deer will get the grind"
[ Time left: 0:04:00 ]|
The surface of the beautiful antler chipped into crystal dust every second until I got a hand full of a handful of anti-toxin dust scattered on the ground. I brought it with my hand and sprinted like a cheetah into the brat location near the meadow. Focused while tried to prevent my hard work from scattered into dust, by the scattered dust — literally
While on my journey to the destination of the drugged child. I realized the most important aspect of detoxification on the human body ...
Where do I apply the dust!!
Is it need to be liquified by water!? Do I need to make her drank the liquid!? Do I need to apply it to her index!? Which is not a logical way to remove a toxin, or make her snort it like a goddamn drug!??
It looked like a drug!!
"Okay, it was decided! I'll make her snort it like a frickin' weed"
I can see the rock boulder!
My tireless legs are now stepped into the place where I left the brat. I've memorized the trees and plants pattern. So it was a breeze like a walk in the park, except I was sprinting and held a drug on my palm
But the brat is not there ...
[ Time left: 0:01:00 ]|
I was a fool!
Why do I leave her without any protection!?
That mass of annoyance was defenseless the whole time and I didn't care a single bit about it. Right now, she might be already recovered and patrolling the area to search for something weird. The thought of it made me feel at ease ...
Until I discover a speck of blood on the tree she leaned
"Ah..."
The sunsets felt like a night
I'm on my knees holding the so-called antidote dust on my palm
I felt like stung on the chest
...
I can't do this anymore
[ Time left: 0:00:30 ]|
But a familiar voice was heard
"Oy! What are you crying for? You look like a sinner who prays to God on Saturday night after getting dumped... is there any-"
I smashed the dust into her face and knock her to the ground so I can fully insert all the dust into her nose while blocked her mouth
"Snort it like a good girl, alright ..."
[ Sub-Quest Accomplished! _
Reward: 5.000 Soul Essence ]|
After a couple of seconds, I let her breath
She coughed "What in the glorious fuck is your problem!? And get the fuck off my body!"
"Asshole! Y-you, owe me a goddamn explanation... you hear me ..."
"I-I hear you so can you get off my body? Your tear is dropping like a bomb on my clothes, and why you're half-naked!? Wait! We are the same person! Don't do this to me!!"
"I'm not crying, you idiot! And stop thinking about a ridiculous thing, I'm still straight"
"Then stop crying! And your second answer is sounds so wrong!!"
"Just shut up and let me be for a while"
"I know that! get off my body! Shit, I caught dust on my eyes"
"Jackass"
"GET THE FUCK OFF!"
...
This is going to be a long night
