Chapter 359 Playing Dead

“Try to inject as little venom as possible, don’t kill this one.” Seeing the Centipede preparing to attack the second mouse, Su Jing emphasized again.

“The first mouse wasn’t dead before.” The Centipede stopped and a tender voice came into Su Jing’s ear. This centipede should be very young, and the voice passed through Su Jing’s ear was similar to the little boy. However, the lifeform from the Renegade Immortal Universe has higher intelligence. Communication with them is more fluent than ordinary animals, and it is like talking to normal people.

“Not dead? How?” Su Jing was stunned for a moment, and then reached out and touched the rat with straight legs. Its body had become cold and it was not breathing. How is this not dead.

“Wait.” Five seconds later, the rat’s heart suddenly gave a beat so faint that it would not have been detected if not for Su Jing’s sensitivity. Su Jing’s eyes lit up, he waited a minute or so and found out that the rat’s heart is beating every five seconds.

“Is it really not dead?” Su Jing was shocked. Generally speaking, the smaller the animal, the faster their heartbeats, the elephant’s heart rate is 20-30 times a minute, the human heart rate is 60 to 100 times a minute, the mouse Heartbeats are about five hundred times a minute. However, the heartbeats of this rat are about twelve times a minute. In this state, can it really not die?

“It’s really not dead, this way, it’s easy to preserve the prey and keep the meat fresh.” The Centipede explained.

“How long will this state last?” Su Jing asked.

“About two days, two days later, It will wake up but it will be weak, although it may not causing much harm, it may initiate resistance. Therefore, it is best to eat the prey within two days. If it can’t be eaten, I just had to inject the venom a second time after the prey wakes up, but repeated venom injections may kill the prey. As soon as the prey dies, the meat will easily deteriorate and become bad.” The Centipede seemed to think that Su Jing wanted to teach it how to deal with the prey and it explained in detail.

“So it is. It’s very effective.” Su Jing’s eyes are slightly bright. The venom is the legendary ‘Playing Dead Dose’. The rat’s heart rate is so much faster than that of the human. After the injection, the rat’s heart rate is reduced to once every five seconds. If people are injected with it, will their heartbeat become even slower?

In that case, even if you go to the hospital for examination, you will be judged dead. Of course, the venom is very powerful even if it is only used as an attack weapon. It will take you two days to wake up even if the enemy doesn’t die at once. Isn’t that enough time to dispose them?

“Change the amount of venom you inject, let’s see if it has some other effects.” Su Jing commanded and the Centipede did as he was told. It Injected various amounts of venom into many mouses. After experimenting with dozens of mice, Su Jing found that the more venom is injected, the slower the heartbeats and the better the effect of False Death. The higher the dose, the closer it will be to real death. If you inject too much, you will die. On the contrary, one would look drunk if they are injected with too little venom. Rats do not feign death, but after a period of slow action, they return to normal.

“If I can experiment on people and then control the amount of venom, I can work out three potions: Steady Dose, Playing Dead Dose, and Death Dose. This venom is definitely very useful, but whom do I experiment with?” Su Jing Suddenly regretted sending Song Junhao to prison. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be nice to use him for experiments?

“By the way, can this venom be used as medicine?” Su Jing suddenly thought of this in his mind. As everyone knows, poisons are often used as a medicine, otherwise, snake venom won’t sell so well. Although snake venom can be fatal, it can be used well in Cancer treatment, Anticoagulation, Hemostasis, Labor pain, beauty, and others. Centipede poison is similar to Snake Venom.

This venom is from the giant centipede in Renegade Immortal Universe and it is magical, what type of medicinal use will it have?

Su Jing suddenly remembered a report he had read. It is said that scientists have studied the body shape, lifespan and other characteristics of various lifeforms, and finally, they have found a decisive indicator of the length of life – heartbeat times.

Specifically, in the limited lifespan of each animal, regardless of their species and size, the number of heartbeats they will have is about 1.5 billion. So, generally speaking, the faster the heartbeat, the shorter the lifespan, and the slower the heartbeat, the longer the lifespan.

This phenomenon is also applicable to humans. Those who live long generally have slower heartbeats, while those who have fast heartbeats are generally short-lived. Of course, accidents such as illnesses and accidents are excluded.

Athletes’ heartbeats are fast when they are exercising, but when they are resting, their heartbeats are much slower than ordinary people. Because the heart gets better exercise, the myocardial fiber and the ventricular wall becomes thick and the heart itself expands, so it can meet the body’s needs without having to pump so fast. Therefore, people who exercise regularly actually have fewer heartbeat, and their bodies will be healthier and they will live longer.

So there is a theory that heartbeats determine lifespan.

Su Jing wondered, could this centipede venom be used in this regard, or could it even be used to practice the legendary Taoist Breathing Technique? Wouldn’t people be able to live as long as a turtle?

“This venom is worth studying. I have to find a chance to test it. Of course, it is best to find someone who I can trust, or it will be easy for this information to leak. After all, those researchers will be very excited when they see this venom?”

Su Jing took a small glass bottle and let the Centipede inject a little venom in it. He found that the venom was white and translucent. He carefully covered it and put it in the storage bag. It was ready to be tested.

“So tired!” The Centipede had been experimenting in accordance with Su Jing’s requirements and he had wasted a lot of Venom and it was weak.

“These are rewards for you. Eat them quickly. I’ll buy you a lot of insects and to let you eat enough.” Su Jing said while throwing two Jade Fang fishes to the Centipede. The Centipede quickly ate them, calling “Delicious”. Obviously, he also likes eating them.

Now that Su Jing knows the magic of this Centipede Venom, Su Jing will naturally treat it better and keep it well.

However, in the future, he can’t feed it with Jade Fang Fishes. He has to mix it with ordinary food, otherwise, the Jade Fang Fishes will be consumed too quickly. He just asked about this to the Centipede. It likes to eat all kinds of insects like an ordinary centipede, but there are not so many insects in the village that are enough for this centipede to eat. It’s totally impossible to catch it by himself. He can only buy a large number of insects for feeding fish and poultry. Anyway, insects are not expensive.

“There are guests.”

“It’s Wang Zhuo, Boss Ji, Old Zhou.”

The two parrots flew in to report and Su Jing was a little confused. Wang Zhuo’s arrival was normal. Based on his relationship with him, he had a lot of business to talk with him. He might come here to eat and talk but Boss Ji and Old Zhou. Who are they? Confused, he went down to open the door. (To be continued ~ ^ ~)
