Shen Yijia reached out and tried to check Cheng Xiuying's pulse. She realized that her pulse was no different from that of an ordinary person. There were no signs of poisoning at all.
She thought that it was because she was not skilled enough, so she pulled out the dagger and cut her palm unceremoniously. Bright red blood flowed out.
"Did we detoxify her?" Shen Yijia asked in surprise.
Mo Yuan shook her head. "No, this is the terrifying part of the Heart Devouring Poison. After the poison is suppressed, it will hide in the human body again until the next attack."
Once it acted up, they would only be given seven days. Without an antidote or a medicine to suppress the poison, they could only watch as the people around them experienced seven days of heart-wrenching pain and died. The poisoned people wished they could die to escape.
Shen Yijia frowned. "In other words, if it didn't flare up, we wouldn't have known if that person was poisoned."
