God-level Hero

Chapter 1369 - 1274: It Was Medicine, Not Poison

Although it was just passing by and clearing a bunch of wild monsters, Da Fei was highly vigilant. The power of the Holy Vine is great, but its consumption is also high. Constant battles where the loss exceeds the gain are absolutely unacceptable. So, in this battle, Da Fei not only wants to win, but to win easily.

Now, the enemy’s terrain advantage is completely lost in front of the Flying Battleship. The wide cliff-top platform is fully visible to the Flying. On the platform, hundreds of burly and tall ogres are roasting food around more than a dozen bonfires. Next to the largest bonfire, a double-headed ogre, as large as a giant, stands out as the leader. From the cave behind them, the radiant glow of gemstones emanates.

Lamia sternly said, "Master, the ogres have an exceptionally keen sense of smell for raw meat. If we get closer, they will detect our stealth. To launch a surprise attack, we must do it from this distance."

Da Fei frowned. This distance was not yet within the range of the long-range troops, and the feeling of not being able to launch a preemptive strike for several rounds was very unpleasant!

Savara, however, chuckled unexpectedly: "How can they only eat meat without drinking wine? Since their sense of smell is so keen, why not let me try something first?"

Da Fei couldn’t help but smile: "Poison?"

Savara nodded: "Exactly! During the preparation time before this expedition, my student Ista and I prepared a large amount of poison infused with magic power. It can be directly and quickly applied to the wine barrels we loaded on the ship, and then we place the wine below, waiting for them to come and take it. If that doesn’t work, then we attack directly."

Indeed, this is what it means to be truly prepared! In great joy, Da Fei asked Lamia again, "What do you think?"

Lamia said noncommittally, "Ogres have low intelligence, binge eat and drink, and are very confident in their own stomachs, so they probably won’t be too cautious."

Elena frowned and said, "From my understanding of the Ogre Hero Og, that’s quite true! However, even if the ogres mistakenly ingest the ultra-strong venom of something like the widow spider, they will vomit it all immediately. It’s hard to imagine the poison posing any significant threat to the ogres!"

Da Fei hurriedly asked Savara, "Will it work?"

Savara replied solemnly: "For creatures with high poison resistance, there are special poisoning techniques. Please give me ten minutes to prepare!"

Da Fei nodded: "We can spare the time, go prepare!"

"Understood!"

Ten minutes, very well, I might as well use this time to release some emotions and clear the internal affairs in my stomach.

...

In Fire Cave City, as the city-wide alarm disappeared, Japanese players had already learned from NPCs the news that the invader, Da Fei, had fled. This surprised the Mitsubishi Team behind the scenes.

Tsukamoto asked in confusion, "Gentlemen, what do you think?"

Sessho Kanpaku frowned, "For Da Fei, who has killed God-level experts multiple times, escaping like this is not his style."

Gunno Yosai said puzzled, "But looking at the intense battle in Cold Jade City, even the Ancient Tree God Silena took action, which suggests that the war has escalated to the level of a Divine War. It’s possible that this situation triggered the God-level battlefield process due to Da Fei’s mistake, and Da Fei decisively retreated to preserve his battleship after assessing the situation."

Tsukamoto frowned: "We need to wait for the front-line players to scout the situation around Fire Cave City to get a clear idea. We know nothing about such a hidden city."

Sessho Kanpaku smiled: "Not completely ignorant. At least we know this is a rare mining city, worth rallying all Japanese Hell players with the qualifications to stay here and focus on developing it!"

Gunno Yosai nodded: "Indeed, according to the wages of regular mining sites, even if a player can only get one mineral a day, if we mobilize ten thousand players to mine, that’s a huge fortune."

The other team members laughed: "Yes, it seems we need to apply for some more funds to form a massive mining team."

"Actually, we don’t need to apply specifically. We can still recruit volunteers from middle and university students!"

"Cut! Volunteers? Do you think this is recruiting AV actors for a shoot? Even if they are volunteers, they still need to be paid a bit."

"No, no, I think it’s too early to discuss mining. We should find a way to bring down Cold Jade City!"

"Bring down Cold Jade City? This is a Divine War Battlefield, you’re thinking too early!"

Just as the team members were speaking freely, the team scouting outside the city sent a video: "Report, we discovered the boundary of Fire Cave City’s barrier, and the system prompt warned me that once I go out, I can’t come back! Please advise."

Tsukamoto’s brow twitched and he immediately ordered: "Leave the barrier and have a look! It doesn’t matter if you can’t come back, you can die and return!"

"Yes sir!"

Then, a moment later, the video scene on the big screen flashed red, switched scenes, and a dark underground space glittering with crystal light appeared.

At this moment, the Mitsubishi Command Center was in amazement: "Is this underground? What are those glowing things? Quickly, take a look!"

"Yes sir!"

As the camera advanced, the light shimmered more brightly. It was a pile of gemstones shining with crystal light embedded in the rocks!

——System Prompt: You have discovered 57 unknown-grade diamond mines! This mineral belongs to a large resource unit and cannot be carried with you!

"Diamonds!?" The Mitsubishi Team erupted: "So, all the shining things around here are diamonds?!"

"I’ll go and confirm immediately!"

Although the reconnaissance team began to continue their investigation, the entire Mitsubishi Command had already confirmed: "If these are all diamonds, the value is simply beyond imagination!"

Some members lamented, "It’s intolerable to just leave these diamonds lying around! Captain, let’s not work for the City Lord, instead let’s mobilize the whole city, no, the whole country’s players to come and collect all these diamonds! Anyway, these players have nothing else to do."

Sessho Kanpaku frowned, "But once we leave this barrier, we can’t come back in. How do we collect them?"

A teammate immediately responded, "We could consider building a warehouse in the wild first, to gather the resources. As for transport, once we’ve scouted the surrounding environment, surely we’ll think of a way."

"That’s right, Da Fei just escaped from here, he must have seen these diamonds. He would definitely return to transport them when the situation favors him. We can’t let these diamonds fall into his hands!"

Gunno Yosai frowned, "The problem is, once we collect them, what if Da Fei comes to raid the warehouse?"

"Try to build several secret warehouses, and with so many diamonds here, how much can his ship really take?"

Sessho Kanpaku asked, "What’s the Captain’s opinion?"

Tsukamoto furrowed his brow, "Mr. Honda is right, we can’t do nothing just because we’re afraid of being robbed by Da Fei! Anyway, the players in the city have nothing to do now, so let’s prepare for action. First, contact the large guild members in the city, have them ready transport vehicles to go out of the city. This action must be kept secret! Unless Da Fei voluntarily releases information, any leaks by Japanese players will not be tolerated!"

"Hey! Captain, rest assured, until now, not a single player in our country who witnessed Da Fei’s airship has posted images or videos of him owning the ship on forums. Our Japanese players’ game confidentiality quality is world-class!"

...

In the time Da Fei finished a big stretch and washed his face, ten minutes quickly passed. When Da Fei came online again, Savara solemnly reported, "Master, two hundred barrels of wine are ready, and troops can transport the wine down now. I’ve loosened the barrel lids so the aroma can drift out."

Lamia added, "Even if the troops’ movements alert the ogres, it doesn’t matter. It just urges them to come get the wine, but try not to let our battleship be discovered."

Will it work? Da Fei took a deep breath, "Alright, then let’s move!"

Action began, and as the Angel Vine Demon Army flew out of the ship’s cabin with the wine barrels, the ogres on the high cliff indeed reacted. Then, several ogres immediately climbed down the cliff, crossed the river, and rushed over.

Looking at a small mountain of wine barrels already piled up, Da Fei waved his hand, "Everyone regroup, retreat!"

The next moment, the Flying flashed with demon light and instantaneously teleported away, leaving the Blood Eagle to continue monitoring the scene.

Here they come, those ogres cheered upon seeing the wine barrel mountain, and shouted excitedly to those on the high cliff. Then, hundreds of ogres immediately climbed down the cliff, crossed the river to snatch the barrels, and each carried a barrel joyfully back home!

Da Fei’s brow twitched frantically; these ogres are so reckless, aren’t they worried about traps?

Until the ogres transported the wine back home, then scrambled to place the wine in front of the chief. The chief happily waved a big hand, and directly led two barrels to pour into his two heads, did Da Fei truly submit to them: "They dare drink right up! It’s a miracle this race hasn’t gone extinct yet!"

Lamia sighed, "Master, do not underestimate them for their low intelligence. Their formidable prowess and survival abilities can crush most things!"

Elena frowned, "Judging by the usual reaction of ogres to toxins, they should have reacted if they drank this much. Is the toxin really effective?"

Savara said earnestly, "There’s no poison in this wine at all!"

Startled, they asked, "No poison? Then we’re just giving them a gift?"

Savara replied earnestly, "Master should remember how I poisoned those Pan Gods, right? Please be patient!"

Da Fei suddenly realized, maybe it’ll work!

Time passed by in the ogres’ frenzied drinking and indulging, finally, several ogres showed abnormal reactions. After finishing their wine, they began snatching their companions’ wine, and the robbed ogre went berserk directly, hammering over!

In that instant, the entire ground erupted, ogres roared and fought each other frenziedly!

It worked! Da Fei exclaimed with joy, "Invisible poison, the deadliest!"

Savara laughed, "Exactly! Ogres and Pan Gods share a common trait, the propensity for rage! The ’poison’ I used wasn’t poison, but a type of medicine. If it’s poison, it gets rejected and has little effect! But as medicine, it gets absorbed, and its medicinal power in the wine releases their rage instincts entirely!"

Lamia exclaimed, "I see! Indeed, master has such talent!" (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
