Darryl laid there and pretended not to hear anything. Deep down, he could not help but think to himself, 'Yolanda is far too kind. Someone like Sergio would create greater trouble if he's not taught a lesson.'
Then, he pretended to mumble, "Ah, I'm so sleepy."
Seeing how Yolanda failed to convince Darryl, Sergio began to panic and there was a conflicted look on his face. "Fine, I'll promise you."
Then, he lowered his head, wishing he could bury his face somewhere. He did not want to be embarrassed in front of his junior, but he also did not want to die. What was dignity compared to his life?
Then, Darryl got to his feet and smirked at Sergio. "Good. Before I cure you, I need to know what venom it is. So, please bear with me."
Immediately, he took out a dagger and slit Sergio's face. Instantly, reddish-brown poisonous blood oozed out, and Darryl quickly took out a stick that was burned in the bonfire next to him.
The poisonous blood dripped onto the stick and a nauseating, poisonous smoke came out. Darryl quickly told Yolanda to avoid the smoke from a distance while he took a sniff of it.
He intended to identify the venom from the smell.
When the Divine Farmer was tasting various kinds of herbs, he became the Medicine Ancestor that was admired by the world. However, herb-tasting was merely the foundation. After that, he invented various methods to identify herbs and poisons and smelling them was one of them. When Darryl followed Divine Farmer to study medical theory, he also learned that technique.
Yolanda, who was hidden nearby, frowned and was shocked. 'There are still people in the world who use this method to identify poisons. Who would believe it if they had not seen it for themselves? How incredible.'
Sergio, who was lying on the floor, was suspicious and he was flustered. 'Does he know how to cure it? Why does he look like he's fooling around?'
Darryl did not notice their change in expression. He closed his eyes and smelled the poisonous smoke. Quickly, his eyes brightened up and had an idea. 'Could this be the venom of a Yellow Snake?'
