After work, start to speedrun the other world-Chapter 49 - 30: Poisoning Is Not Shameful

"Ahtal, how do you plan to arrange the mercenaries?" Yasiraqi looked at Xi Mu, who was sitting under a tree organizing various poison bottles, and asked.

Although she had paid for the mercenaries, she couldn’t properly manage them without knowing Ahtal’s overall plan.

Regarding this, Xi Mu looked towards Letixia and Jed, and said, "They will be responsible for the arrangement, don’t worry."

"Just handling the mercenaries, I have no problem." Letixia nodded seriously, her green eyes revealing sincerity. As the eldest princess of the Iris Flower Kingdom, she had truly commanded armies in battle and had even achieved remarkable victories.

Therefore, she felt no psychological pressure in commanding a small scale of mercenaries, not to mention, she felt... relaxed and joyful.

Being relaxed was because commanding a small number of mercenaries was not difficult, and joyful because she could finally be of use and help Ahtal.

"Originally, my work nature is no different from that of a mercenary." Jed was even more forthright, having no objections to participating in the management of the mercenaries.

And she was just assisting Letixia in commanding the mercenaries.

"Boss, you can just leave it to us."

Xi Mu nodded: "Hmm."

He trusted in Letixia and Jed’s abilities. These two game characters, although not reliable in combat... had many unexpected uses.

Such as now being in charge of managing the army.

"Then Lord Ahtal, please tell us about your detailed battle plan?" Letixia, looking serious, planned to discuss the battle strategy with Xi Mu.

Yasiraqi, standing next to them with one hand on her hip, looked at Letixia, who suddenly became stern and serious, and understood why Ahtal cared so much for this country princess.

It was not just because she was good-looking; her abilities and character were also outstanding.

"Not in a hurry, let me set a poison first." Shaking his head, Xi Mu wrapped the selected poison bottles in cloth.

"You guys just wait here for me." He said, not waiting for a response before sneaking into the forest, while Letixia and Jed, although worried, did not blindly follow to avoid causing him trouble.

After all, they had both been tested by life and death and could make calm judgments, not likely to be swayed by emotion at this time and do something harmful to themselves or others.

"I really like your expression." Yasiraqi suddenly spoke, noticing the worry in Letixia’s eyes, but also the calm restraint.

This little country princess was not just a pretty face.

"Is that so?" Letixia was slightly surprised, then smiled gently, "Your eyes are also very... captivating."

She sincerely praised.

"The will burning in your eyes is like the brightest ruby, without a hint of bewilderness."

"Heh, you are an interesting person." Yasiraqi lightly stroked her red hair behind her ear, feeling a bit more close to Letixia.

Initially, from her perspective, Letixia was just a princess from the countryside, who was also stabbed in the back by her own sister and lost the right to inherit her kingdom.

But now she realized her judgment was mistaken.

Meanwhile, Jed, standing to the side and watching the conversation between the two princesses, noticed they were unexpectedly harmonious and didn’t develop any conflicts over Ahtal.

Perhaps this was the so-called breadth of a princess’s spirit.

At the same time.

On the other side.

Xi Mu slid down a crevice of the canyon, observing the enormous dragon lying in the canyon occasionally emitting painful groans.

Even though he hadn’t approached too closely, his body still felt tense, and the muffled painful groans seemed to resonate with his body.

This... game optimization is good.

Thinking so, he stealthily reached behind a large rock, opened the wrapped poison bottles, and then started chanting a spell.

"By my blood, the demonic wolf that gnaws the arm of the gods, descend here!" Following the spell, several demonic wolves crawled out from the shadows behind.

Then, Xi Mu stuffed the poison bottles into the mouths of the demonic wolves, instructed several of them to disperse and stealthily approach the dragon, and upon reaching a certain distance, ordered the demonic wolves to crush the poison bottles and then dismissed the summoning of the wolves. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

The poisons he had chosen, once dispersed into the air, would become a kind that suppressed the sense of smell, harmlessly to the body but causing the poisoned subject’s sense of smell to be suppressed, unable to smell overly pungent scents.

Some adventurers, in order to deal with some monsters with overly strong odors, would deliberately poison themselves to suppress their sense of smell.

Now he was using this mixed poison to suppress the dragon’s sense of smell, which would normally have been detected by the dragon.

However, the dragon, being afflicted by a curse, would assume the issues with its sense of smell were due to the curse and not suspect that someone was poisoning it.

After waiting for several minutes.

Xi Mu once again chanted the summoning spell for the demonic wolves, stuffed more poison bottles into the wolves’ mouths, repeated the process, let the wolves run next to the dragon, ordered them to crush the screaming poison bottles, then immediately dismissed the summoning.

Without a moment’s hesitation, he turned and started to flee; the poison he used this time wasn’t just for suppressing the sense of smell—it would be lethal if smelled by ordinary people.

Even though it wasn’t fatal for the dragon, it was extremely dangerous for him.

After he ran into the forest.

"Roar!" The dragon’s roar spread, its powerful sound waves shaking the leaves, making one’s body feel numb.
