I went to a hotel near the hospital and stayed there for six days, proving that "I can't poison myself". Before I could proceed to the next step of testing the poison, I was forced to stay at home because of the swelling on my face.
Just when he was thinking about how to kill the eel, Feng Yi had an idea and thought of using the venom squeezed out from his two long fangs to test the toxicity.
Then-
The eel rolled over twice and then stopped moving.
Feng Yi: “…”
So poisonous
I'm so toxic?!
I poked the eel with a knife, but it still didn't move.
Feng Yi was in deep thought.
Although the poison cannot kill me, it can easily kill an eel
It seems that I can resist my own poison, but this may not be the case for other people or animals. I have to test the specific toxicity. Before I know the toxicity, I still have to be more careful and not harm others.
After some thought in his mind, Feng Yi regained his composure, watched the instruction video on his mobile phone, and continued with the next steps.
Deboning, removing the organs, stumbling and bumping.
Clean, chop...
As the cutting progressed, it turned into cutting into sections.
Okay, let’s make a homemade fried eel.
After looking at the available ingredients at home, Feng Yi chose the simplest home-cooked fried eel.
I was in a hurry and sweaty, and finally finished it after working for a while.
When I had toothache and swollen face, I always chose the simplest method to cook, or I would ask someone in the supermarket to prepare the ingredients and take them home to stew directly, just to replenish energy as quickly as possible. Whether it tasted good or not was secondary.
Now it’s hard to use these ingredients that I haven’t tried before.
Feng Yi looked at the plate of freshly fried eel on the table.
Color: Not very good looking. If you are new to eel, don't ask for too much.
Aroma: It smells weird. Why do all the wonderful spices mixed together produce such a strange smell
taste…
Pick up a piece with chopsticks.
Savor.
It's so fucking disgusting.
It must be the venom!
Although it didn't taste good, Feng Yi still finished it. It shouldn't be wasted, and it was worth the effort.
After eating, I opened my phone and ordered takeout.
As for the eels left in the bucket, Feng Yi decided to ask Wu Ji's parents for help, otherwise it would be a waste.
The next day, Feng Yi did not go out to explore the "different world", but put on a mask and went to the supermarket early.
After selecting some seasonings, Feng Yi came to the seafood area.
Shrimp, crab, turtle, various fish... they all look pretty healthy.
At this time in the morning, there were a lot of people in this area. Feng Yi was overwhelmed by the various smells, and the mask he wore could not block these smells. After adapting for a while, Feng Yi began to observe these shoppers picking fish, and thought about what to buy later to test for poison.
After the abnormal climate, the types of aquatic products that can be sold in supermarkets have decreased, but the commonly eaten ones are still there.
When there were fewer people waiting, Feng Yi walked to the aquatic product cabinet to see which tanks looked more energetic, so as not to buy them alive only to find them dead when he took them home.
He had not learned how to choose fish during the time he had just watched. Some species are naturally inactive and don't like to move, so it is difficult for people who don't know them to tell which one is more energetic.
However, after walking around the seafood cabinet twice, Feng Yi found a way -
Those who evaded him when he approached, especially those who evaded quickly, were very smart. Those who reacted slowly or did not evade at all were in danger.
Feng Yi walked slowly along the seafood cabinet, staring at the fish.
Soon, he spotted a fish that was a big grass carp.
As one of the four major carps, grass carp is also commonly bought by people. For example, braised fish fillets, boiled fish, glutinous fish, etc. are mostly made with grass carp.
Feng Yi asked the staff to help fish it out.
"Does it need to be slaughtered?" the staff asked.
"No, I'll go back and kill it myself."
The seafood counter provides live fish packaging service, some of which require additional charges, depending on the customer's choice.
While weighing and packing, Feng Yi heard a splashing sound coming from a water tank nearby and looked over.
It's snakehead.
It is also called black fish or talented fish, and it is ferocious, but delicious when cooked.
The loud noise just now was the black snakeheads inside fighting. If it weren't for the glass cover, the water would have splashed far away.
"Please, help me fish out those two and pack them up." Feng Yi pointed at the two fish that were jumping around in the water tank arrogantly.
So, a big grass carp and two black snakeheads all became Feng Yi's poisoned fish two hours later.
These three were much larger than the eel, but they did not last longer under the venom.
Feng Yi raised the toxicity level of his venom by one level. Originally, he gave it a C grade, but now it seems to be at least B+.
Of course, this is just a conservative assessment, after all, he only tried it on fish, not mammals. I thought about bringing the long-handled clamp with me when I go out next time, and if I encounter a big rat, I can catch one to test the poison.
After a not-so-delicious meal.
Feng Yi looked at the fish bones on the plate and sighed.
The venom is still very poisonous, so you have to take good protection. Before you can control it well, Feng Yi decided to keep wearing a mask when he goes out. Otherwise, if something happens and the venom leaks out, or if you suddenly can't control your sneezing, what if the person opposite you has a wound...
At the same time, we must strengthen control over the venom glands and not be passive.
After eating and drinking, Feng Yi took a bowl and placed it under the two long fangs. Then he held his cheeks with both hands and squeezed the venom glands inside, easily squeezing out the venom.
"That won't work!"
It is now easy to squeeze out the venom, and you can control it without squeezing your cheeks. But it takes a lot of effort to prevent the venom from squeezing out. You still need to coordinate your facial muscles and train the muscles around the venom glands.
Feng Yi searched for various facial muscle exercises on the Internet, selected the most suitable ones, and practiced accordingly. At the same time, he would practice controlling the venom glands and nearby muscles during the venom squeezing process, and just practicing this would waste half a bowl of venom every day.
It was still unclear how toxic the venom was, so Feng Yi didn't dare to pour it out directly. He heated it to make the toxic proteins in the venom lose their biological activity, and then caught a yellow eel to test the venom. After making sure that it was not very toxic, he poured it down the toilet and flushed it away.
I practiced like this for five or six days. I don't know if it's because I'm still in the evolutionary stage but any changes are more obvious. The "fat" feeling that appeared when the venom gland just evolved has returned to normal.
But compared to the original appearance, the facial contours are now clearer and there is a hint of toughness.
If you squeeze the venom gland with your hands again, it will not be as easy to squeeze out the venom as before. As long as you control the venom gland, people around you will not be accidentally injured, and the safety level will increase sharply!
Feng Yi was very satisfied. What his face looked like was secondary. The venom gland had to be under control!
As long as I don't want, no one can squeeze a drop of poison out of my teeth by pinching my face!!!
