AWB Chapter 148 is about to arrive! Deadly poison!
Chapter 148 is about to arrive! Deadly poison!
"We'll arrive at the trade fair tomorrow!"
Over the next two days, Xiao Yu forged nearly ten more pieces of Tier 5 divine weapon armor.
Besides forging, he also occasionally came to get some fresh air under the glowing tree.
Strolling under the trees, I looked at the small plantation covering several acres, filled with newly planted vegetable seeds that had already sprouted and grown leaves overnight...
By evening, they will need to be transplanted to the planting area...
And those wild fruits and plants are also slowly transforming...
From the trees, one could hear the crisp sounds of chirping and rustling.
Looking up, I saw that many nests had been built on the glow-in-the-dark trees.
There are two colorful butterflies and a large number of newly hatched silkworms. The colorful butterflies keep laying eggs and hatching them every day... Now the entire glowing tree is covered with silkworms.
They are like crystals, radiating a crystal-clear, multicolored light.
And... the Three-Colored Chicken, the mount of Si Xi in June, who killed three women.
They all built their nests in the glow-in-the-dark trees, and when they weren't on missions, they would stay in the glow-in-the-dark trees.
In addition, the newly domesticated queen bee also built her own hive in the glow-in-the-dark tree.
Three or four days later, it had already bred a large number of worker bees.
Among them, there are several third- and fourth-order worker bees leading the team.
Every morning, the queen bee commands her offspring to collect nectar.
Now, the city lord's mansion has an endless supply of delicious honey, enough to even be used for cooking.
When the trade fair comes, we can take out some of the honey as a specialty of Longcheng.
In short... the glowing tree is now practically a gathering place for all kinds of beasts.
However... the glow-in-the-dark tree is already several people can hug, hundreds of meters tall, and its treetop diameter is five or six hundred meters.
Adding more pets to the occupancy won't have much of an impact.
On the contrary... it added a touch of vitality and energy.
As for... the leaves eaten by silkworms.
With the vitality of the bioluminescent tree, it recovers completely on the same day it absorbs sunlight.
"Lord City Lord, I have made progress on the poison you requested." At this moment, an excited voice rang out.
Upon hearing the voice, Xiao Yu knew who it was.
Turning my head, I saw a head of messy, frizzy hair and familiar dark circles under my eyes.
Who else could it be but a little grass obsessed with studying herbs?
"You!" Xiao Yu sighed helplessly, reached out and smoothed the girl's hair, brushing away the messy strands that covered her face.
Only then did I realize that the girl had a small face, with very delicate features.
Turns out... she was a natural beauty.
"Lord of the City..." Xiaocao blushed instantly.
"Alright, go ahead and say it." Seeing the girl's shyness, Xiao Yu stopped teasing her and said seriously.
"Well, I've tried all the poisons you gave me before, and I've achieved some small successes..." As soon as she mentioned her area of expertise, Xiaocao immediately regained her composure, and a hint of pride flashed in her eyes.
"You actually did it?" Xiao Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Currently, among his pets are several such as the lightning ferret, the ivy, and the queen bee, all of which possess deadly venom or paralyzing toxins, with astonishing power.
Previously, Xiao Yu extracted some venom and gave it to Xiao Cao for research.
I wanted to see if I could apply it to arrows to increase their lethality.
Actually, he didn't have high hopes; he was just giving it a try.
After all... Venom's powerful effects are entirely due to its host.
Once the venom leaves the body, its properties are likely to change completely over time, losing all activity and thus becoming negligible in toxicity.
This is why poison was rarely applied to weapons on ancient battlefields.
Or rather, applying animal venom might be more effective than applying feces!
But... Xiao Yu didn't expect that the little grass would actually succeed!
"Lord City Lord, simply extracting the venom from the ferocious beast reduces its toxicity by more than half in less than a day... However, following your idea, I have combined several poisonous herbs and drugs to enhance the duration of the venom's activity."
For now, I can maintain the activity of this toxicity for 5-7 days!
"What? It's been that long?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu's eyes lit up again.
5-7 days!
This has been going on for a very long time!
After all, a battle only lasts a few days!
"And what about the results?"
"It can probably retain about 20-30% of its toxicity..." the little grass pondered carefully before answering.
"According to my recipe, one part of Lightning Sable venom can make 3-5 parts of poison."
The poison is applied to the arrows. Once an enemy is hit, their limbs will be paralyzed and they will lose consciousness within two or three seconds. However, because it is a diluted poison, it is only effective against those below the fourth rank. Its effect is halved against ferocious beasts and people with strong physiques, and it is even weaker against those with strength above the fourth rank.
Because of the limited amount of herbs, I have only been able to make about 50 servings so far...
"That's already very good! Well done! You're amazing, Xiaocao!" Xiao Yu excitedly ruffled Xiaocao's hair a couple of times, making the girl's hair even more messy.
This effect is already incredibly impressive.
He has several highly venomous pets, and his base venom is more than he can use.
As for the herbs, he'll catalyze more of them later.
At that time... coating every warrior's weapons and arrows with poison will be a nightmare for the enemy.
"what the hell!"
Her hair was a mess, and the girl pouted, looking somewhat aggrieved.
Unfortunately... Xiao Yu had already gone far away and didn't notice at all.
Afterwards, Xiao Yu went to the workshop area again.
There are now more and more workshops in Longcheng, including pottery workshops and papermaking workshops.
And there's his newly built, large textile factory.
Because during this period, the silkworms that hatched earlier have grown up and started spinning silk.
In order to develop the textile industry, Xiao Yu built several looms based on videos from Bilibili in his previous life and trained five or six nimble-handed people to learn how to weave.
The textile industry has a certain level of technical expertise, and only a few people can be trained in a short period of time.
Only when these people are skilled enough to train new people can the business be expanded.
In addition, the two colorful spirit butterflies also spun out a large amount of silk. Although it was just ordinary silk, it was spun out by a fifth-tier ferocious beast. The cloth woven from their silk was comparable to the defensive power of a third- or fourth-tier quasi-divine weapon armor.
Based on market prices, such armor costs between 2 and 10 energy stones.
Dragon City already has dozens of raw materials for such Tier 4 quasi-divine weapon armor.
Once all these silkworm threads are made into quasi-divine weapon armor, they can be sold to the public.
In short... many industries are gradually taking shape in Longcheng now.
Therefore, Xiao Yu specifically designated an area for industrial development.
"Lord City Lord!" Upon arriving at the paper mill, the workshop manager, Sun Yubo, immediately bowed respectfully. "As per your request, a batch of paper has been produced. Please inspect it..."
The trade fair is almost here.
At that time, many things will need to be more formalized.
Therefore, Xiao Yu asked Sun Yubo to produce a batch of paper as soon as possible.
