Chapter 915 Framing Him Although Gerald did not use any moves from the supreme level of Flame Decay, his attributes were completely unleashed, and it was not something that Grant could fight against.
âHow is that possible? Youâve been poisoned by Nether Needle. How can you still use Vital Energy?â Grantâs expression changed drastically.
However, no one told him the answer.
The strike from Geraldâs saber rendered him completely defenseless. He let out a loud blood-curdling scream, and half of his body began to freeze. There were flashes of lightning on his body, while the other side was being burned.
In the blink of an eye, Grant died.
Pffft!
At the same moment that Grant died, Gerald opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. His right arm was completely paralyzed, and a thin layer of ice completely enveloped him.
Indeed, after the poison entered his body, Gerald quickly used his ice attribute to seal his body. However, he found that it had completely unable to stop the poison from spreading at all. The poison in Nether Needle was too terrifying.
The poison continued to spread, but the attribute-related ability from the magma attribute and thunder attribute actually stopped the poison from spreading.
This also gave Gerald a chance to take out his saber and strike.
Previously, when Gerald fought in front of Grant and the others, Grant did not know what Geraldâs attribute was. Grant was very confident in Nether Needle.
However, he did not expect Gerald to not only possess an attribute but also possessed so many attributes.
The attributes temporarily restrained the poison from spreading.
However, when Gerald struck with his saber, he found that the poison suddenly could not be suppressed anymore, and it began to spread quickly all over his body.
âDamn! Am I going to be poisoned to death this way?â Gerald cursed. He stopped looking at Grantâs corpse and began to run quickly toward the cave.
The only hope now was Valery.
When he reached the entrance of the cave, Gerald felt that he could no longer see clearly.
He almost rolled down into the cave from the entrance. At this time, his whole body was red and swollen, and his lips were black.
The poison of Nether Needle was too terrifying.
âGerald!â His movement attracted the attention of the others. Valery and the others opened their eyes. When they saw Geraldâs condition, everyone was very shocked. Valery jumped up and approached him.
The others also gathered around and asked, âWhat happened?â
âHeâs poisoned, and itâs a very strong poison.â Then, Valery added, âI have to treat him now!â
As she spoke, she sat cross-legged, and the Vital Energy around her body quickly enveloped Gerald.
She was not confident if her Vital Energy could help Gerald get rid of the poison.
With her vast experience, she knew that the poison must be extraordinary.
âH-How did he get poisoned?â Skyler asked in confusion, Carolyn was speechless before she said, âYou asked me, but who should I ask? Weâll talk about it when he recovers.â
Skyler looked around and said, âHuh. He seems to have rolled down from the entrance of the cave. Why didnât I see Grant? Iâm going out to see him!â
With that said, he ran out of the cave.
After he left, Valery was treating Gerald with all her might. Carolyn and Anabelâs faces were still filled with worry, while the other two went away to continue with their cultivation.
âI think Iâve read about the features on his body in some ancient book. He seems to have been poisoned by Nether Needle,â Anabel said.
âNether Needle?â Then, Carolyn asked curiously, âWhat is it?â
âItâs a hidden weapon from ancient times. I donât know who made it, and the method to make it has been lost. Some still exist, but itâs very rare.â Anabel then added, âA Nether Needle can kill a supreme Flame Decayer! Even the supreme Flame Decayer canât fight against it. In the entire world, only the old lady from the Stone Tribe who has the life attribute can save him!â
After that, Anabel looked at Gerald and continued, âBut itâs usually always too late after a person is poisoned with it. It is because the poison of a Nether Needle is too fast, and can spread to a personâs whole body in an extremely fast time. Even a supreme Flame Decayer canât hold on for long. I didnât expect Gerald to be poisoned by a poison like this. Fortunately, Valery happened to have a life attribute, and this guy is really lucky.â
âYou mean, Valery can cure him?â Carolyn asked happily.
Anabel nodded and said, âIt shouldnât be a problem.â
Carolyn patted herself on the chest before she calmed down and said, âThatâs good, thatâs good!â
After a while, Skyler walked down and said with a grim face, âGrant is dead.â
âHuh?â Carolynâs heart skipped a beat as she stole a glance at Gerald.
Iâm afraid someone came here. Gerald and Grant must have been tricked while they were luring the people. away so that we wonât be discovered.â Skylerâs expression darkened as he added, âI felt four attributes on his corpse. There were the ice attribute, thunder attribute, magma attribute, and gale attribute. Iâm afraid it was Sheryl who has joined forces with the others â
With that said, he looked at Gerald. Then, he added, âThe poison in Geraldâs body is also... Nether Needle. Not many people in this world have it. But itâs normal for the people in Infinito to have one.â
At that moment, his expression darkened as he said, Tm afraid Sheryl has teamed up with a particular team. At least four would have reached the level of Flame Decay or above.â
In fact, Gerald was still conscious at this time. He was thinking about how to explain Grantâs death to Skyler, but he did not expect the man to start having wild assumptions.
After Valery used Vital Energy on him, he felt that the poison in his body was being excreted bit by bit. He began to think of an explanation following Skylerâs speculation.
Skyler did not have the mood to cultivate anymore. After about two hours, Geraldâs complexion returned to normal. He slowly opened his eyes and let out a long breath.
âHowâs it going?â Valery asked in a hurry.
âThe poison has been removed,â Gerald replied.
When Skyler saw that Gerald had woken up, the former hurriedly asked, âWhat happened?â
Gerald looked at Skyler and said with a bitter smile, âI thought it was useless to continue cultivating and wasting this energy. I plan to leave the energy to you first, and I went out. I planned to replace Grant.â
Then, he added, âJust as I arrived at the entrance of the cave, I felt a few auras approaching.â After that, he sighed before continuing, âI thought that as I have reached the supreme level of Flame Decay, Iâm not afraid of them. So I was thinking of protecting all of you and luring them away! Grant followed me as well.â
Gerald then added with a bitter smile, âI took the initiative to let out the aura of a Supreme Flame Decayer. Sure enough, they chased after me, but before I could go far, I found something pricked my right arm. Immediately afterward, I found a poison spreading quickly in my body, which couldnât be suppressed at all! I couldnât use Vital Energy either.â
After that, he continued, âThen, I chose to come back as soon as possible. I thought as there are five Flame Decayers here, I wonât be afraid of them anymore.â Gerald smiled bitterly and added, âBut in the end... they didnât care about me at all and went straight to chase Grant. I completely had no idea what happened after that. When I returned to the cave, I almost lost consciousness!â
âThe thing that poisoned you is Nether Needle, the most powerful hidden weapon in the world. A supreme Flame Decayer would be bound to die if he is poisoned by it. Itâs normal for them to leave you alone. Have you seen who they are?â Skyler gritted his teeth as he asked the question.
âNo... I only saw a flash of red uniform passing by, and I didnât see anything else.â Gerald shook his head and spoke.
âIt really is Sheryl!â Skyler cursed loudly.
