Chapter 417: Excellent Effects
Qizilbash casually said, “Don’t believe it? Then, pull out the bottle stopper and smell if it’s that scent.”
Hachikuju shook her hands and said, “No, no, no. If you open it now, it will be a big commotion.”
Yuan Rui stared at the delicate little bottle in Qizilbash’s hand and curiously asked, “Big Brother Hachikuju, can you stop teasing us? What exactly is ambergris that you two are talking about? You seem quite nervous.”
Uncle Peng interrupted, “How could he not be nervous? If we open the bottle now, the scent of ambergris, even a hint of it, can drift at least fifty kilometers downwind.”
This was collected from a second-rank kingly mutant beast we encountered earlier when attacking the capital city. At that time, there was only one second-rank mutant beast in the city, which should have been easily defeated.
However, because this mutant beast could emit such a strange scent, it continuously attracted all the mutant beasts near the city, like an irresistible fatal temptation to them.
Due to this, the cost of capturing that city increased tenfold, resulting in many evolvers being injured or killed.
This ambergris is what we extracted from that special mutant beast and played a significant role in the subsequent battle to capture the city.
We used ambergris to lure the mutant beasts out of the complex city, leading them to the vast grasslands where we could deal with them all at once, allowing us to conquer cities quickly.
However, after capturing the four sub-cities, the extracted ambergris was completely used up. The time it takes to capture another sub-city without ambergris is five times longer, and the casualties are much higher.
The role of this ambergris is easy to imagine.”
After Hachikuju explained this, everyone showed an expression of sudden understanding.
Zhang Mu carefully analyzed and said to Hachikuju in confusion, “So, this ambergris seems to be a substance that can make mutant beasts lose their rationality, indeed a useful thing for hunting them.”
However, Brother Hachikuju, didn’t you say that the extracted ambergris was all used up after capturing the four sub-cities? What about this small bottle in the hands of the City Lord of Qizilbash?”
At this moment, Hachikuju turned to Qizilbash, puzzled, and asked, “Qizilbash, did you happen to keep a portion for yourself?”
Qizilbash glanced at him and said, “The ambergris extracted from the special mutant beast back then was all under the control of our leader, Zhang Yi. How could I take a portion for myself?”
“Then how did you get it? Tell me about it. I remember all the ambergris was in the possession of our leader. Did you manage to replicate it later on?”
In Qizilbash’s eyes, a rare mischievous glint flashed as he shook a small bottle containing ambergris with two fingers and slowly said,
“This is real ambergris, I don’t have the ability to fake it. If I did, why wouldn’t I use it to regain control of the city?”
“Then what is this?”
“It’s ambergris, but not from the one we killed together. My Shield Wolf Rider found the body of a special mutated beast after that war, it must have been hidden in the city, shaken to death by some attack we don’t know about, buried under the ruins. I kept it, didn’t report it.”
“It was a young beast, maybe because it was still immature, the ambergris that could be extracted was extremely rare, all that you see in this small bottle is all there is.”
“I didn’t expect you to gain from that sweep. Keeping it hidden, not telling me.”
Qizilbash replied, “You said before what’s there to boast about, after dividing the eight city sections, we couldn’t take more sections, I forgot about it all at once.”
Before this test, I remembered about this thing, thought it might come in handy, so I brought it.
“I always thought this wilderness was a paradise for wild beasts, even without ambergris they kept coming in waves towards us, who knew it would be as quiet as it is now.”
Hachikuju looked up and laughed, putting his arm around Qizilbash and said freely.
“It’s not just helpful, it’s very helpful! It’s late now and everyone is tired. It could be dangerous if something unexpected happens. Let’s wait until tomorrow morning and use it, like a woodcutter waiting for rabbits!”
But you are also slow, are you not aware that it is being broadcasted now?
Even though the screen mirror can’t hear us talking, it’s very possible that someone will see the small bottle in your hand. When we use the Hundred Beasts’ Charge later, everyone will know, there are tens of thousands of eyes watching.
Once news spreads about you secretly keeping ambergris, don’t expect me to help when Chief Zhang Yi comes looking for trouble.
Even though I also need it urgently now, it’s fair to say that you are in the wrong for what you did.”
Qizilbash said indifferently, “You’ve seen the amount of ambergris from this young beast, this small bottle is simply not enough for an attack. We can’t survive for long using it now. The boss won’t blame me.”
Hachikuju nodded in agreement.
“That makes sense, especially with the current situation of the Eight War Riders, the Chief probably won’t have time to bother with your small matter.”
After listening to the two people talking for a long time, Zhang Mu spoke again, “City Masters, can this ambergris really attract second-rank mutated beasts?”
When you were attacking the city, the creatures inside were mostly first-rank mutated beasts, which could lure them, whose intelligence was not high, to lose their minds completely.
But now, where we are is different. We are a hundred and twenty kilometers away from the wilderness edge. It’s possible that the second-rank mutated beasts here outnumber the first-rank ones. The intelligence gap between the second-rank and the first-rank is huge.
Are you sure even the incredibly intelligent second-rank mutated beast king would fall for this ambergris?”
Hachikuju and Qizilbash looked at each other and burst into laughter.
“Brother Zhang Mu, you will find out tomorrow. Don’t just mention second-rank mutated beasts; I suspect even third-rank ones might be lured by this stuff.
You haven’t seen the appearance of those mutated beasts. Regardless of second-rank or first-rank, they all have a fierce look, forgetting their awakened abilities, only driven by their primal instincts to fight.
That’s why we can easily lure them to an open area for a showdown.”
Qizilbash put the small bottle of ambergris back in its hidden place, and looked at the excited crowd, saying, “Testing.”
“Okay, everyone rest up and recharge your energy. Tomorrow, there might be a continuous big battle without even a second of rest, possibly even throughout the night.
It’s a good thing that the two teams have joined together. If it was just us ten people, I wouldn’t dare to try.”
Even though they said that, everyone rested on the spot.
But tonight, most people were destined to stay awake all night.
