Chapter 471: You're Just a Mortal

The old man did not attack, and saw Richard turn the page, just standing there and watching quietly. After looking at it for a long time, he sighed and said: "Alas, it seems that you really don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and you have to do things that are beyond your ability, which is not good for you - very bad!"

"But right now, I don't seem to have anything bad. Richard said.

"But you also don't get what you want. The old man said, "Boy, look at the book in your hand." ”

Well?

Richard's eyebrows moved, and most of his attention was still on the old man, his eyes quickly scanning the pages of the book in his hand, and then he was stunned.

I saw that the pages of the book in my hand were white.

White, pure white, without any words on it.

It's -

Richard quickly turned the page, turning backwards with a "bang", but when he turned the whole book, he didn't see a word.

"Smack!"

Richard dropped the book in his hand on the floor, turned around and took another book from the shelf, opened it, turned the pages, and found that it was also blank.

Then the third, the fourth, the fifth......

Books with metal shells on the shelves, all blank contents!

Richard jerked his head up and looked at the old man.

The old man seemed to speak up, and said in an instructive tone, "See, boy. Now, you're disappointed that you've done something dangerous and didn't get the results you want – but that's just the beginning. Next, you'll keep paying for your actions.

Perhaps, boy, you think you're pretty good. But I can see the other side of you—your arrogance, your arrogance, your eyes, your cleverness. In my eyes, you are actually just a mortal, no matter how good and successful you are, you are still a mortal. And you, as a mortal, will inevitably be punished for trying to cross the red line of danger.

This is to make you understand that you don't stay too curious and don't think you can do anything. Everything you have now, your life, your whole body, your mind, is actually given, and if you try to go against some great will, it can be taken back at any time.

Then you will fall into the endless abyss, into a hell full of flames, and your soul will be tormented and will never be redeemed. Got it?!"

In the end, the old man's voice was full of expression.

Richard's eyes flickered, he looked at the old man for a long time, and then said slowly: "I'm afraid—I don't understand—"

"No, you'll understand, boy. The old man suddenly laughed, dangerously.

The next moment, Richard felt a pain in his left ankle, and as soon as he looked down, he saw a finger-sized, colorful spider biting at his ankle.

He didn't know where the spider came from or when it appeared, and the spider itself seemed to have some special ability, and he didn't know it until it was bitten.

This!

Richard was startled, but reacted quickly, the spell was released, and the air surged, and the colorful spider at his ankle flew out and slammed it against the wall. Then an ice pick shoots out, hitting the colorful spider with precision, piercing the opponent's body, and then freezing into a lump of ice.

After that, Richard quickly examined the wound, and his expression was slightly ugly, because he found that the wound was faintly black and numb, which showed that the spider was poisonous and not weak.

"Whew-"

Richard took a deep breath and, without hesitation, quickly pulled out a dagger.

Fingers swiped over the dagger, and the surging flames licked through the blade of the dagger, quickly sterilizing. Then Richard grabbed the hot dagger and cut it through the wound, making two "poofs" to make an "X" shaped incision.

Throwing the dagger away, Richard squeezed the wound hard, trying to squeeze out the venom.

The jet-black venom, dripping on the ground, gathered on the polished and smooth bluestone slabs, emitting a pungent fishy smell.

But this did not stop the rapid spread of the toxin, and even though most of the venom was squeezed out, Richard still noticed that a black patch was spreading down the wound towards the skin above his calf.

Into the bloodstream?

Richard frowned, and the next moment he used a dagger to cut a cloth belt directly from the clothes on his body, and tied it to his calf forcefully, trying to organize blood circulation. Then use the Plastic Energy Water Ice Branch spell to freeze the whole part that has turned black. Although this will cause frostbite to a certain extent, it can't be managed so much at critical times.

The question is...... Even so, it didn't stop Venom.

The black color on the skin seems to be accelerating, and it takes a small amount of effort to occupy half of the calf, and it shows a tendency to spread towards the thigh.

This!

Richard frowned slightly, and the next moment he figured out something.

"Sting!"

Again cut a cloth band with a dagger, tying the blood vessels in the thighs and stopping the flow of blood. Richard's lips opened and closed, and after a while, a wind blade more than ten centimeters long appeared at the end of his fingers.

Controlling the wind blade, Richard's eyes sliced towards his calf without blinking.

"Poof!"

The calf broke in response, revealing Bai Sensen's bone stubble, and Richard's face turned slightly blue, and then returned to normal.

After examination, Richard made sure that the toxin was gone, and calmly treated the wound. Then he used a spell to control the air and hold up his body on the left, stood up, and looked at the old man.

In the process just now, the old man didn't have any intention of making a move, and kept looking at it with interest, and said with a somewhat appreciative gaze at this time: "Tsk, yes, boy, you did a really good job, you are a little more powerful than I thought." ”

"But that doesn't change anything. This will not change, your arrogance, arrogance, nobody's sight and cleverness. You were bitten by a poisonous spider just now, and you can be ruthless enough to cut off your own legs, which many people can't do.

But I'm going to tell you, the spider's toxin isn't deadly, it goes away on its own in a day, what do you think? Even if the toxin is deadly, you don't ask me if there's an antidote? If you ask me, I'll give it to you.

Besides, this time you can cut off your leg to save your life. So next time a spider bites your neck, do you choose to cut off your head or your entire torso? Do you really think that your ability can solve anything?"

"You can't!" replied the old man, "it is impossible for one person to solve everything, that is God." If you try to be mortal and compare with the gods, you can only lead to destruction!

Then Richard felt a pain in his neck.

With a "snap", Richard released a wind spell, and the foreign object on his neck was quickly bounced away, and he saw that it was a black bee.

The surging air slammed the opponent against the wall, and Richard did not relent, unleashing an ice pick to kill the opponent, and then looked at himself.

I saw a rich black color, which was spreading rapidly along the neck and all over the body.

The skin wrinkled and decayed at a visible rate, bleeding disgusting pus, and in the blink of an eye, the whole person became extremely smelly and itchy.
