Edith objected to Steven's proposal to use some kind of poison to attack the giant centipede. After all, the giant centipede has the ability of the wood element, and poison has basically no effect on it.
Steven nodded and said: "It is true that ordinary poisons are not very useful for it, but some drugs are not poisons, that is, some highly corrosive drugs, or some strong acids. Now it depends on what Edith can do.
Can we make something like this?"
Edith also knew about things like strong acid. After listening to Steven's words, she nodded and said: "What you said is indeed not a toxin! I think it is likely to have an effect on giant centipedes! But the key is us
Being in the wilderness, there is not enough equipment to create strong acidic substances."
It seems that this kind of thing cannot be produced in restricted places, Steven pondered, thinking about other alternatives.
At this time Edith said again: "Wait! I thought of a way! This is also associated with the ingredients in the poisonous mist of the giant centipede! I need to collect several plants and some fungi, and then I can try to prepare
A highly corrosive drug has been released, but I’m not sure how much effect it will have on the centipede!”
Steven was a little surprised: "This is good news! We design a battle plan to ensure that the giant centipede can be killed when the poison takes effect. Even if the poison has no effect, we can ensure that everyone escapes safely!"
Next, everyone in the mercenary group began to discuss the battle plan for hunting giant centipedes. After confirming all the details and plans, everyone began to take action.
They were divided into two teams. One team followed Edith into the jungle to collect plants and fungi needed to make poisons and antidotes. The other team was looking for a suitable place to set up a camp nearby and prepared to build a forward combat camp.
Steven and Hilley accompanied Edith in the jungle to find the plants she needed, and he also prepared to hunt an animal and bring it back to the camp for dinner.
After a busy afternoon, Steven and Sheila followed Edith back to the newly built outpost camp. He put the forest deer on his shoulders on the ground, Sheila went to process the deer meat, and Edith carried the loaded deer on her back.
The plant and fungus walked towards the corner of the camp in a bark basket. Next, she had to prepare the poison and antidote, while the others prepared dinner.
The night passed quickly. After breakfast, everyone came outside the camp to wait for Edith to prepare the remaining medicines. Due to the lack of sufficient equipment, Edith needed to spend more time processing the plants and extracting the effective ingredients from the raw materials.
In order not to interfere with Edith's operation, everyone walked out of the camp to wait.
When it was almost noon, Edith walked out of the camp fence and nodded to everyone. She had completed the preparation of all the medicines.
She distributed several thumb-sized round pills to everyone, and each person received two of these black pills.
After distributing it, Edith said to everyone: "This is the antidote to the poison of centipedes, two pills for each person. When the battle begins, you need to hold the pills in your mouth, be careful not to swallow them!"
She made a gesture of containing medicine and continued: "The pills will be a little bitter, but don't worry about it. This is the antidote. It can remove the poison in the centipede poison mist. Each pill can stay in the mouth for up to half an hour. You guys
You need to put the second pill in your mouth immediately when the pill is about to melt completely!"
She continued: "In addition, remember to close your eyes when the poisonous mist envelopes you. It is best to exit the poisonous mist in time to avoid breathing in the poisonous mist all the time. Although this pill can detoxify, your eyes may still be affected.
Poison mist hurts!”
Everyone nodded to make it clear that two pills can last for almost an hour of fighting, which is completely enough! If you can't take down the giant centipede in an hour, it's time to withdraw.
Seeing that everyone understood, Edith took out a wrapped leaf ball from a rolled leaf and handed it to Steven, saying: "This leaf is wrapped with a strong corrosive poison, which is very effective against giant centipedes."
How effective it is can only be understood in battle. I made it into a paste that you can apply on the weapon when you use it. I have another pack here, and I have only prepared two packs in total."
After finishing speaking, Edith handed Steven two fist-sized leaf bags, and then said: "Steven, you have to be careful not to let this get on your hands or body skin when using it. It is harmful to centipedes."
I can’t be sure how big the effect will be, but the effect on people is definitely obvious!”
Steven nodded and took the two packages of poison, carefully putting one package into his coat pocket and holding the other package in his hand.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Edith said, "Let's have something to eat here and then set off!"
After a simple lunch, the mercenary group set off towards the canyon where the giant centipede was, with Steven still leading the way.
After a while, everyone came to the two big trees at the turning point of the canyon. After turning around the big trees, they could see the giant snail where the giant centipede was hiding.
According to the previously formulated battle plan, the shield warrior Jod, the sword warrior Weishan and the spearman Kezan came behind Steven, while Edith and Shilai retreated dozens of meters to find favorable terrain. Their mission was
Harasses centipedes remotely and provides line-of-sight assistance.
The plan is actually very simple: Joad will be responsible for attracting the centipede, Weishan and Kzan will assist Steven, and Steven will carry out the fatal attack. He will find the right opportunity to insert the poison-smeared straight knife into the body of the giant centipede.
, Edith and Hilley are responsible for remote harassment and providing visual assistance, and Edith is also responsible for judging the situation.
On the way, Steven gave Edith the hunting bow and quiver to carry. Carrying the hunting bow was a burden during the battle.
The shield warrior Joad took off the huge steel knight's shield from his back, took off the short spear stuck in his back, and stuck it in the buckle on the back of the knight's shield.
Joad's shield is larger than Nathan's shield. There are 4 arms on the inside of the shield and a buckle for holding a short spear. This is a large knight's shield that can be used with both hands. As for the short steel spear
, the length is shorter than the long sword, and its spear handle is also made of steel, but the weight of the short spear is much lighter than the long sword.
Steven turned on his soul perception, and the soul light group of the giant centipede in the shell on the other side behind the big tree was displayed in his perception. It was coiling and in a still state. He gestured backward.
, and then everyone put the antidote pills into their mouths.
Joad held the shield in both hands and turned around the big tree with Steven. At this time, in Steven's perception, the giant centipede that had been stationary deep in the shell began to move, and the feeling of being locked appeared at the same time.
A splashing sound came from the shell, extending from the position buried deep into the hole at the end, and then two long dark brown tentacles swayed out of the hole!
Following the tentacles, huge oblate head shells and limbs also emerged from the holes one after another!
Seeing this horrifying scene again, Steven still had to take some time to adapt. He felt a little bit grumpy in his heart. It felt like sleeping on a clean and white bed and having a cockroach crawl on his face.
The feeling of nausea was then amplified in proportion to the body size!
