Chapter 614: Neurotoxin

The piece of bone gave Su Jing a big surprise. At the same time, he had to sign that his professional knowledge needs to be more comprehensive. Even if his memory is amazing, it has only been a year and he has been busy all year. He didn’t have much time to read books and knowledge, and his experience is too lacking. 

Bi-Xi is such a partial thing that it is impossible to know about it without reading it. His knowledge is far inferior to Ye Bo who has been immersed in Ancient Lifeform for decades.

After returning home, Su Jing put the other bones in the bone necklace and tried them in the white wine. Unfortunately, except for the Bi-Xi bone, no other response was made by the other bones. 

He deliberately searched for a lot of information about the bones and looked at them and compared them to side by side. It’s a pity that Ye Bo and Zhou Xixian couldn’t find out what was special about the other bone, maybe they are just ordinary bones.

That night, Su Jing received a call from Ye Bo. Su Jing guessed that he was calling to discuss about Bi-Xi bone, but he had guessed in the wrong direction. After answering the call, Ye Bo’s voice came over there: “Mr. Su, that Bi-Xi bone is still in your hands, right?”

“Yes.” Su Jing nodded.

“Can you let me use it as an emergency?” Ye Bo said.

“This…” Su Jing was taken aback. He would have guessed that Ye Bo would want the Bi-Xi Bone to be used as a treasure exhibition. But what is the emergency use? If it were someone else, Su Jing would have definitely thought that he deliberately made an excuse to deceive himself into lending the Bi-Xi bone out. 

However, based on Su Jing’s knowledge of Ye Bo and knowing that he is not such a person, he asked, “Old Ye, what do you want to use this Bi-Xi Bone for?”

“I didn’t mean that, in Li Shizhen’s “Compendium of Materia Medica”, the snake horn is recorded as: Bi-Xi, the horn of a big snake. As a poison, it is said to be like a rhino horn. It means that Bi-Xi has a detoxification effect “Ye Bo said.

“But I don’t know if this is true or not.”

“Indeed, Bi-Xi only exists in legends. No one has used it in reality, so I don’t know if it’s true or not. If it was not necessary then I wouldn’t think of using it. But I have a friend whose son was bitten by a poisonous snake. Because the injection of anti-toxin serum was not timely enough, it caused serious consequences. Although it barely saved his life, he has been unconscious and has been lying in the nursing room for three weeks. He may die at any given time. Yesterday, I followed that friend and accidentally mentioned that Bi-Xi Bone might be able to detoxify the poison and he wants to try it. If Mr. Su is willing to help then I and my friend will be in your debt and we will be thankful. Bi-Xi bone detoxification is said to be soaked in wine for an hour and then drink the wine so there would be no harm to the bone itself.” Ye Bo whispered, with a hint of pleading in his voice. It was obvious that he valued that friend.

“Since Old Ye have spoken and it is for emergency use, how can I not agree with it, and you don’t have to thank me as it is important to save people. However, after all, it is not clear whether this is really a Bi-Xi bone and even if it is, w cannot be certain that it can really detoxify the poison. If this failed, what can we do then?” Su Jing said.

Saving people is important. Although he likes money, he didn’t plan to make this kind of emergency money. But Su Jing didn’t want to cause trouble either. In case the poisoned person took it and some other thing happened like that person dying because of it then it would be too horrifying. Su Jing was not afraid, but he didn’t want to cause trouble for no reason and being held for any accident.

“Don’t worry about this, my friend is not that kind of person. If he chooses this way, he will be responsible for all the consequences, and of course, he won’t be blame anything on you. Moreover, he has no other choice. If you delay, his son will die or he will become a vegetative person.” Ye Bo said.

“Well, we can experiment with mice first,” Su Jing said.

“Ok, take the Bi-Xi bone to the hospital where there is the snake toxin, you can experiment with mice on the spot, and let my friend watch it so that he can make his own decision.” Ye Bo said.

“Okay.” Since Su Jing agreed, he didn’t want to delay anything so he drove the car and went to the hospital. At the door, he saw Ye Bo, a haggard-faced Middle-Aged couple, and a tall young man waiting anxiously at the door. Seeing Su Jing, they greeted him enthusiastically, and the Middle-Aged man opened the door for Su Jing.

“Mr. Su, this is my Friend, Yao Chijing.” Ye Bo introduced.

“Mr. Su, thank you for coming…” The Middle-Aged Man Yao Chijing said politely.

“No thanks is nessasery, let’s talk about it inside.” Su Jing waved his hand and rushed them in. The group of people walked in the hospital and came to a room that looked a bit like a laboratory. There were several doctors in it, who had prepared white rats and venom.

However, the Middle-Aged male doctor in the lead did not seem very happy and said: “Mr. Yao, we listen to you and prepared experiments with the Rats and Taipan Snake Venom, but with all due respect, your son was sent to the hospital to get real treatment and not a mythological one. If the treatment is not given on time then it is impossible to treat the snake venom bite in any hospital and it’s even more impossible to treat it with something called a big snake’s horn. I think it’s just a kind of feudal superstition. Your son is now at a critical time, and if he drinks this then there could be many consequences and our hospital will not be responsible for that.”

“Dr. Liu, I know you are very frustrated, but let’s try it first and if it doesn’t work then we will forget it.” Although the doctor seemed a little impatient, Yao Chijing was patient with him. 

After all, from the perspective of the hospital, it is impossible to use outsiders’ help casually. If the Doctors use folk remedies to treat their patients then what use is their experience and studies, Now, the doctor is willing to listen to him to do an experiment which means that he has already given him some face.

“Okay.” Dr. Liu didn’t say any more. He thought it would be useless to say anything. He will let Yao Chijing see it with his own eyes. When he finds out that the so-called Big Snake Horn Bi-Xi is useless, he won’t be holding any fantasy.

A young doctor helped and grabbed a white mouse with his gloved hands. Dr. Liu took out a small syringe and injected a little bit of Taipan snake venom into the Mouse, Yao Chijing’s son was also infected with this poison.

Taipan snakes are distributed along the eastern and northern coasts of Australia. They are also found on the islands of New Guinea. It is one of the most venomous snakes and it is also one of the fastest snakes on the land. 

It is so fast that you can’t see it. One bite of its potent toxin is about 110 milligrams, and that amount of venom can kill 100 adults and 500,000 mice.

Before this venom was discovered and Anti-Venom was created, there were no known survivors from a Taipan snake bite, and death usually occurred within an hour after the bite. Even if the antivenom is successfully injected, most poisoned patients will stay in the heavy intensive care unit for a long time.

The most frightening thing is that part of the damage to the human body by this venom is irreversible. If the poisoning is severe, it will cause organ failure, and most of it is kidney failure. 

There is no other way to treat this except for a kidney transplant. In the current situation, it’s hard to say how much function Young Master Yao’s kidneys can maintain. Therefore, Young Master Yao’s current situation is extremely dangerous.
