Chapter 164: Chapter 122 Finally Started to Retreat [Three in One]_2
Zhao Long nodded and immediately took out a pill identical to the one in his hand from his bosom, then elbowed Zhao Hu beside him.
Zhao Hu understood the signal and mimicked the action, then informed the next person.
Just like in the previous messaging process, everyone else received the signal and took out a pill identical to the one Xia Hong was holding. frёeωebɳovel.com
"Thanks to this Green Saliva Fruit, the Medicine Decoction Pot developed the formula for the Primary Detoxification Pill. Otherwise, relying solely on Teng Jiao Saliva, I wouldn’t dare bring people here!"
Xia Hong silently thought to himself, a look of relief on his face.
The saliva can only alleviate the Teng Jiao’s toxin through inhalation and cannot completely detoxify it.
But now, these Primary Detoxification Pills in their hands can completely negate the influence of the Teng Jiao toxin upon consumption and, judging by the name, evidently also work on other types of primary toxins.
The Green Saliva Fruit was found on the tree where the Teng Jiao was nesting during the last hunt. After bringing it back and processing it through the Medicine Decoction Pot, the formula for the Primary Detoxification Pill was immediately developed.
More fortunately, the most consumed ingredient in the Primary Detoxification Pill formula is the Teng Jiao Saliva, while the Green Saliva Fruit, though important, is only required in small amounts per batch.
The Primary Detoxification Pill, with each batch yielding 20 to 25 pills, allowed Xia Hong to use up the entire Green Saliva Fruit at once, refining ten batches in total. Thus, the hundred or so people heading out tonight each received two pills, which is more than sufficient.
Seeing that everyone had taken out their detoxification pills, Xia Hong led by example and placed the pill into his mouth, with the others following suit.
Once the pills were ingested, Xia Hong gave Zhao Long and his brothers a glance.
Zhao Long, Zhao Hu, Zhao Bao nodded and stood up, each taking out a blue chunk of fist-sized meat from their bosoms, within which a pure white pearl was wrapped, with white air currents ceaselessly swirling around it.
Each of the three took out a specially made iron arrow, then pierced the blue meat chunk through the arrow, securing it in the middle. They drew their bows, aimed at the rodent horde, and finally turned to glance at Xia Hong, clearly waiting for his command.
Xia Hong did not hurry but turned to the others, raised two fingers, and loudly declared:
"Two things, remember!
First, as soon as the poison mist disperses, everyone must shoot all thirty arrows as quickly as possible while ensuring accuracy.
Second, rodents might burrow towards you. If you haven’t finished shooting your arrows, find a position on your own initiative. Individuals, teams, no matter the method, just kill them; once you’ve used up your arrows, run immediately, but do not run towards the valley, only towards Redwood Ridge!"
"Understood, leader!"
Considering his past life experience, Xia Hong previously thought about whether to concentrate everyone and take turns shooting to form a continuous rain of arrows, probably resulting in stronger impact and lethality.
But after trying it once in the valley, he immediately gave up.
Firstly, they numbered just over a hundred, too few, and taking turns would result in too small a range of arrow rain, causing inadequate area damage.
Secondly, the alternate shooting aimed for speed rather than accuracy; even if the rodents were hit by the Teng Jiao Poison Mist, they weren’t entirely motionless. If accuracy wasn’t achieved, the arrows would essentially be wasted.
Considering various factors, Xia Hong decided to let everyone operate freely. After all, they were all from the Logging Realm, possessing basic strength exceeding five thousand pounds. With the bow and arrow enhancement, as long as the hit rate was high enough, it shouldn’t be difficult to hunt the rodents affected by the Teng Jiao Poison Mist.
"Act now!"
The earlier conversation had already startled a few awakened rodents; seeing them starting to act, Xia Hong immediately gave the order.
Whoosh... whoosh... whoosh...
As Xia Hong’s words fell, Zhao Long and the other two, who were ready to go, drew their longbows to a full moon shape and released instantly.
Swish...
The moment the three specially made iron arrows rubbed against the bow body, a fierce spark was ignited, instantly setting the blue meat chunks in the middle ablaze.
The three iron arrows, like fire meteors, sped fast and unyieldingly, drawing a straight white smoke trail in the serene night sky.
Zhao Long’s arrow targeted the left, Zhao Hu aimed in the middle, and Zhao Bao the right.
Their targets seemed to neatly split the entire rodent horde into three sections, aimed directly at three spots.
Of course, they weren’t aiming for open ground.
Thunk...
The three brothers, having comparable prowess, shot their iron arrows almost simultaneously. The targeted distance wasn’t that far apart, and the three iron arrows nearly punctured the heads of three rodents at the same time, resonating a single sound in the quiet night.
The three rodents didn’t even let out a scream before being pierced directly through the skull by the sharp arrows, pinned to the ground.
Bang...
Simultaneously, the blue meat chunks on the iron arrows were completely burned through. The Teng Jiao toxin sacs inside instantly exploded, spreading three thick white mist clouds that quickly enshrouded the entire rodent horde and continued expanding outward.
"Squeak squeak squeak..."
"Squeak squeak squeak squeak..."
"Squeak squeak..."
...
Ever since the three rodents were killed, the rodent horde had been roused, but everything happened too swiftly. Only after the white mist spread did a chorus of countless rodent cries emerge one after another.
Unlike ordinary rodent noises, hundreds of giant rodents hissed and called together, causing a tremendously frightening clamor.
