Chapter 270 A Bone Woman Who Sold Her Father to Bury Him (23)
front,
Lin He's smile had become distorted.
He arranged the direction and personnel for throwing the incendiary bombs, and then began to create chaos among the beasts.
He would throw the object wherever the shouting was loudest.
Even if you have a lot of scratches, burns and scalds on your hands and body, it doesn't matter.
His heart and eyes were filled with rage! It was revenge! His men had suffered heavy losses, and it was uncertain whether they could continue to Wuxiang Mountain or return in disgrace.
But all of these are better than becoming food in someone's mouth!
Having hope is exhilarating.
"Bang!" Xia Youmi tapped Lin He on the forehead, hoping to bring him to his senses.
"Miyou!"
"Captain Lin, the poison gas pack! Tell everyone to retreat to upwind, and if possible, cover their mouths and noses with a damp cloth."
"Leave this to me!"
"Alright!" The fierceness in Lin He's eyes dissipated, and he did not question Xia Youmi's decision at all.
"Fall back!"
"Yes!"
All the guards, regardless of their route, were retreating towards the swamp.
The half-demon and humans here, as instructed by Xia Youmi, had covered their mouths and noses. This place is upwind, but there's no guarantee the wind direction won't change.
Once the fireballs from the sneak attack disappeared, the herd gradually returned to order.
They continued to surge towards the crowd.
Xia Youmi released poisonous smoke packets based on the locations calculated annually. These packets could burn for at least one or two minutes. The beast horde was downwind, the location was accurate, the black smoke rose, and the quantity was sufficient, thus forming a poisonous fog belt.
The trapped beasts roared in fear.
The toxic fumes released from burning wolfsbane strongly irritate the respiratory tract.
The more terrified you are to breathe, the more you break down.
Some of the faster-reacting beasts had already turned around, trying to get away from the danger. But a continuous horde of beasts was surging in from behind, intersecting and even triggering a frenzied attack.
Internal strife, poisoning, stampede, loss of control.
However, the herd could only retreat, because in front of them were not only billowing poisonous smoke, but also rows of flames.
After Xia Youmi threw the poison smoke bomb.
Back at the swamp, they discovered that Song Yue had upgraded her incendiary bombs.
It can last for a longer period of time.
"Thank you!"
“However, you still can’t go over there. The poisonous smoke is too dangerous. I’ll go instead!” Xia Youmi ate a piece of the secret fruit offered by the snake treasure and felt refreshed and comfortable.
It felt as if ice spring water had been injected into my body.
With a bright smile, Xia Youmi carried the enhanced incendiary bombs and piled them up in front of the toxic smoke.
Any wild beast that tries to force its way through will be burned by the flames.
Lin He and his men weren't idle either. They inventoried the supplies and sorted out what was usable. Then, they sent guards with their mouths and noses covered to deliver the goods to Xia Youmi in shifts. This way, she wouldn't have to run back and forth.
This mutual torment continued into the night.
None of those who stayed with Xia Youmi went with Cai Fu. And no one from the other side came to help either.
On the contrary, Hu You kindly reminded Cai Fu that if the wind direction changed, he should also be careful of the poisonous smoke.
Cai Fu returned to his master with two streams of tears in his eyes.
At the same time, he explained what Hu You had said, as well as the battle situation on the other side.
Everyone remained silent, and even Bu Yu didn't say much, quietly finding the best cotton cloth to tie it on.
It's not that no one wanted to help, but neither side's leader was willing.
Beast Tide
They finally stopped behind the toxic fog zone, where a pile of corpses lay, and no one was allowed to look at it.
The lingering toxic fumes had not completely dissipated, not to mention the toxicity of the bodies of those who died from poisoning.
Aside from keeping an eye on the wind direction, I can finally relax.
After enjoying the secret fruit, the monkey volunteered to scout the way.
This is no easy task.
We still need to explore whether there are other solutions.
"Alas, I'm afraid there's something that doesn't want anyone to go to Wuxiang Mountain anymore." The old cat lay there helplessly, discussing the next steps with Lin He.
"What could possibly cause such a commotion?" Lin He asked, puzzled. "I'm afraid that once the news gets out, it will attract even more covetous eyes."
"Yes..." the old cat said lazily, having seen countless reckless gamblers. Where there is danger, where there is desperate obstruction, it means there is something good, which is even more attractive to humans, demons, and half-demons.
The original Wuxiang Mountain was able to settle down because of the difficult journey and the lack of information.
I'm really scared that some uncontrollable trouble might be quietly brewing.
"His-"
Snake Baby nestled around Xia Youmi's neck, offering its own opinion.
However, it is currently in demon form and cannot speak.
Perhaps it was because Xia Youmi saved it, or perhaps it was because of her great efforts, but the snake, with its cold body and a slight force, kept weaving around Xia Youmi's neck.
Relaxing her shoulders can also be considered a massage.
Xia Youmi, who was beneath her, was not idle either. The injured guards in front of her lined up to receive bandaging and treatment.
Fox Yo assisted from the side, while Wolf Li also wanted to show off his status as an apprentice, but at this moment both of his arms were tightly bound, so he was powerless to do so.
The lightly injured guards gathered up the scattered items, especially the herbs. Fortunately, the guards who were originally carrying the herbs had taken them very seriously, and since they weren't at the forefront, they managed to preserve as much of the items as possible.
It's fortunate that Xia Youmi picked a large quantity; otherwise, we really wouldn't have been able to treat so many external injuries.
"hiss."
"Okay! You keep the rest for yourself, I still have energy." Xia Youmi opened her mouth and bit into the secret fruit that the snake treasure handed her.
If it weren't for this danger...
I hadn't even noticed that Snake Baby had left so many with the Kangaskhan.
Moreover, this fruit is very effective for situations where energy consumption is high.
It seems I can pick them myself from now on.
The taste alone is excellent and incredibly tempting. When Xia Youmi was eating, Cai Fu, who was standing next to her, was drooling.
It was brought over by the sisters to start a fire and cook.
They did not return to the other side immediately.
He stared longingly at Mi You, inhaling the aroma of the secret fruit mixed with the fragrance of bones.
The reason given on the other side was that they had run out of tinder and needed to start a fire here before sending the tinder over.
Whether or not they are lying, they don't want too much infighting within the team.
Lin He agreed anyway.
Song Yue, along with He Shufang and Ning Zhuxin, who were relatively skilled, reassembled the disassembled tinderbox.
They were calm and intelligent, which earned them the respect of the demons.
Lu Zhe was mysteriously writing something in the booklet, his expression equally solemn, and he was covered in sweat.
The sisters had lost their tools and didn't have much to eat. They roasted the dry rations left by the guards on a stone slab until they were soft and fragrant, then gathered some juicy wild vegetables, mashed them, and cooked them into a porridge-like soup.
All I can say is that it was fortunate that during the rest period, the half-demon was eating with humans.
Now, people eat with the half-demon so that the food can be distributed more evenly.
Lin He was the last of the guards to arrive for treatment, and Xia Youmi was exasperated as she counted his cuts.
"Captain, is there a person growing on your wound?"
"Hehe, to be honest, I fought alongside the city lord to get rid of them. I'd be happy to do so!" Lin He chuckled, trying to ease the heaviness brought on by his injuries.
"Um, Lord Fox, please add a few extra earth dragons for Captain Lin!"
"Okay! I guarantee to pick the fattest ones!" Foxy's right hand, which was pounding medicine, didn't stop, while his left hand picked up a freshly caught earthworm and vigorously pounded it without raising the price.
Lin He felt a chill run down his spine.
