Chapter 4046: The Poison King's Proposal

No matter what, the defense line is a tough nut to crack. When everyone was struggling with it, the Poison King and Hongniang walked forward step by step.

The old Poison King has always walked behind when encountering a battle, and never gave you advice in front. This time Xu Qiang encountered trouble, and he decided not to sit down anymore.

Holding a bone staff in his hand, the bone staff pointed at a position, and the old Poison King said to Xu Qiang.

"If you really want to fight, start from this place."

"What?"

Qin Gang took a few steps forward, stared at the map carefully, turned around and said to the old Poison King.

"Old man, are you okay? This place has the strongest defense. There are a total of seven defense lines. If we fight from this position, tearing through these seven defense lines, these people will be almost dead."

As soon as the voice fell, the Poison King held the bone staff and knocked on Qin Gang's head. This was no joke.

A big bump soon swelled up on Qin Gang's forehead. He squatted aside with his head covered, not saying anything. He had just forgotten that this old man killed people without bloodshed and was the most dangerous person here.

"If you speak rudely to me again, I will use you to test the poison next time."

The old man, the Poison King, said that he was not a man without temper. Anyone who dared to speak to him like this before would be dead now.

After following Xiao Yi, the Poison King's strange temper was restrained a little, and he became approachable. At this moment, hearing the tone of the Poison King, Xu Qiang seemed to see hope.

The old guy either didn't speak, or he wanted to kill you, so he was very polite and said to the Poison King.

"Old man, the Poison King, since you said that, you must have your reasons. Tell me what exactly we need to do?"

"You are still polite, kid. The old man's method does not require your help. I only need you to drive me to a place."

The Poison King's words were a bit mysterious, making Xu Qiang wonder what method he would have. Xu Qiang then asked.

"Where do you want me to take you?"

"River!"

The Poison King refused to reveal any more information, so Xu Qiang had to agree to it and drove the Poison King and Hongniang to a river.

This river is the largest river in the mercenary battlefield. The river runs through the entire mercenary battlefield, flows to the north, and finally flows into the sea.

Xu Qiang stopped the car. There was a heavy rain a few days ago, and the river water rose a lot. The turbulent river water was rushing. At this time, he turned and looked at the old Poison King.

"Old man, can you tell me what the solution is now?"

The old Poison King leaned on a bone staff. In fact, even if he didn't say it, Xu Qiang could guess some of why he was called the Poison King.

"I, the old man, don't have any outstanding features. The only thing I have is the means of using poison. I have asked my junior brother to make some arrangements before, and I think it must have succeeded."

After saying this, Hongniang received a call from Duan Zhisheng.

Duan Zhisheng told them that the plan was very successful. The five people who were poisoned went to Freman's camp and were all killed by Freman.

The corpse became a breeding ground for the poisonous insects. When the poisonous insects lost their food, they would come out and explode and die. The poison accumulated in the body would also evaporate and blend into the air.

Those who were guarding the camp would inhale these poisonous gases unknowingly, but they would not feel any discomfort or symptoms of poisoning.

"I developed a poison a few days ago. This poison requires two poisons to be used together. I have asked my junior brother to arrange one, and the other poison is in my hand."

The poison king held a purple-black bottle in his hand, which contained another kind of poison. If the two poisons did not come into contact with each other, the toxicity would never burst out.

"The poison has been dissolved in the water. After ten minutes, it will evaporate from the water and enter the air. I have calculated the time. It is just the period when the river water enters the camp of that person."

This river just flows through Freyman's camp. It runs through his entire camp. Freyman's mercenaries rely on this river for their daily water.

"The poison gas in the river water has merged with the poison that was previously dispersed in the camp. The combination of the two will become a highly toxic. At that time, the poison gas that was previously inhaled into the body will completely explode."

The Poison King and Xu Qiang explained that once the poison explodes, it will erode a person's blood vessels, corrode blood vessels, and cause a lot of bleeding in the body.

On the surface, there is no wound, but the body has already been bleeding severely. Such toxicity can only be solved by the Poison King. The poisoned person will die without an antidote.

"So I said, it is most appropriate to use that position as a breakthrough point. The poisoned people will fall down. I will give you the antidote. If you swallow it in advance, it will not cause poisoning."

For the sake of safety, the Poison King made some more preparations. In fact, the poison dispersed in the air only exists for about ten minutes, but within these ten minutes, its spread range is enough to cover the entire Freeman camp.

"No... I can't accept this method!"

Xu Qiang decisively rejected the Poison King's proposal. It seemed that as soon as the Poison King finished speaking, he could immediately think of the scene of those people being poisoned and dying.

"Xu Qiang, what's the matter? I think the method that Senior Brother came up with is good. Why do you refuse it?"

Hongniang was puzzled. Xu Qiang walked back and forth for a few steps. It was true that what the old man Poison King said was a good method, which could also achieve a surprising victory.

But he couldn't accept this method in his heart, because he knew in his heart that if this method was used, he didn't know how many people would die in this battle.

"That's not what I meant. I just think that if death occurs in a normal battle, I can accept it, but if this... this..."

"You mean to say that my method is very despicable and cruel, right?"

The Poison King understood what Xu Qiang wanted to say in his heart. Xu Qiang couldn't say it, so he said it for Xu Qiang.

Xu Qiang squatted on the ground and didn't speak. The Poison King said on the one hand, and on the other hand he couldn't bear to see that many innocent people lost their lives because of this.

Deep in his heart, he still retained the humanity that he shouldn't have, especially at this moment. At this time, Hongniang stepped forward and said.

"Xu Qiang, I understand what you are thinking. I know you can't bear to let so many people die, but you should understand that you are on the battlefield now. On the battlefield, only winning or losing counts, not what means you use."

Hongniang reminded Xu Qiang not to forget Rost's fate before. Freyman also used the ability of a cultivator to make himself win so easily.

And in the end, Rost's people surrendered, but still couldn't escape Freyman's massacre. Mercy has no effect at all, and will only make you weaker.

"If you don't think of a way to break through the current situation quickly, then it will be your own people who will die. Do you have the heart to watch them use their flesh and blood to tear open this breakthrough?"

Xu Qiang shook his head. This was the scene he didn't want to see the most. Countless people died in front of him. What would happen even if he won this battle?

At this moment, he fell into pain. After understanding Xu Qiang's thoughts, the old man of the poison king sighed and chose to take a step back.

"Never mind, old man, I'll add a medicine in here that can alleviate the symptoms of poisoning. Those people will lose their ability to fight after being poisoned, but their lives can be saved. This is the best I can do."

"Really? If so, I thank you on behalf of these people."

"Don't be happy so early. I'll help you break through. Next, it depends on your ability to defeat your opponent. I won't help you after that."

The Poison King made it clear in advance that he would only help Xu Qiang this time. The battle after the breakthrough would all depend on Xu Qiang's own ability.
