Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Although he did not understand why the powder made from animal-repellent drugs could be used to attract wild beasts, and he suspected that the person had lied to him, he tried it on the first day and it was quite effective.
However, he did not expect to be discovered so quickly. Otherwise, he would have waited until the next day to use up all the powder. He heard that there was a wolf pack in the place they passed by the next day. As long as the wolf pack was attracted, it would be easy to seriously injure this army.
It was a pity that he had missed that day. He could only wait for the right opportunity.
The core area was the second place he chose. He heard that there were unknown ferocious beasts and more poisonous creatures here. Therefore, although he knew that someone was watching him, he could only take the risk to poison him.
Moreover, he had already checked the powder with the other doctors. They all thought that it was used to repel beasts, which made him even more fearless.
Even if he was exposed, he would have an excuse.
He proudly looked at Military Doctor Wu carefully checking the things in the furnace and said, “Aiya, General, I forgot to tell you. I put some beast-repelling medicinal powder in the furnace. A few days ago, we were attacked by so many fierce beasts, and today we entered the core area. I was afraid that something would happen, so I thought of putting some beast-repelling medicinal powder in. I spent a lot of money to buy this medicinal powder. It’s made of extremely precious beast-repelling medicinal herbs. It’s said that the effect is extremely good. After using it, there won’t be any fierce beasts within a ten-mile radius.”
No one paid attention to his long speech. They all watched Military Doctor Wu r s actions nervously.
Military Doctor Wu first dabbed a little of the powder and sniffed it, then took a sip and put it into his mouth.
After a long while, he opened his eyes and said, “General, there is a Snake Spirit Grass in this powder. It is a very precious repelling medicine. Any repelling medicine that is added with the Snake Spirit Grass will greatly enhance its effect.’
Hearing this, General Song smiled proudly. “I told you. The person who sold me the medicine said that there was some kind of snake spirit in it. It has a miraculous effect on repelling beasts. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have used it.”
Military Doctor Wu ignored him and changed the topic. “However, although the beast-repelling Snake Spirit Grass was put in it, another kind of hemp was also put in it. The hemp is also used to repel beasts. Although these two herbs are used to repel beasts, everyone may think that the effect of these two herbs will be better if they are combined. On the contrary, although these two herbs have the same medicinal properties, the effect will be opposite when put together. In other words, not only will these two herbs not repel beasts, but they will also attract ferocious beasts.”
After saying that, he looked at everyone’s reaction and smiled slightly. “Not to mention, there are also other crushed Gu worms inside, this greatly increases the beast attraction effect, if I am not wrong, this should be the secret beast attraction medicine that most of the southern tribes have.’
As soon as he finished speaking, the scene was as quiet. General Songs face was pale, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
“I, I don’t know…” he said weakly. “The person who sold me the medicine only said that it was used to repel beasts. He didn’t say that the medicinal properties were the opposite. General, I’m innocent!”
Military Doctor Wu looked at him calmly and smiled. “General Song, who sold you the medicine? Where did you buy it? As far as I know, this secret medicine is extremely precious and has been passed down in the southern border tribes for thousands of years. It will only be taken out when there is a major crisis.
Usually, it is controlled by the leader and should not be used by outsiders..”
