Chapter 52 Biochemical Weapons, Smoky Dragons
The next day.
After arranging family matters.
Rennes set off with twenty guards.
The group rode on swift horses towards the city of Locke controlled by the Sika family.
According to the plan they discussed yesterday.
Rennes is responsible for dealing with the Earth Dragon King.
The other Earth Dragons are handled by the Sika family with assistance from the Habs family.
Therefore.
Before heading to the Warcraft Mountains, Rennes still needs to meet up with Boleg.
After several hours of travel.
Rennes and his companions arrived safely at the Sika family's estate.
Count Boleg had been waiting for a long time.
After a brief exchange of greetings.
Boleg wasted no time.
He immediately gathered his elite guards and set off with Rennes.
After all.
The sooner the Earth Dragon tribe is eradicated, the sooner the copper mine can be reopened.
If the copper mine stops for a day.
It will result in a loss of tens of thousands of gold coins.
In order to facilitate the transportation of the large amount of ore extracted from the copper mine, the Sika family specifically built a road leading to the Warcraft Mountains.
The group followed this road towards the Warcraft Mountains.
The nearby monsters along the road have been cleared by the Sika family.
Their numbers are not many.
Coupled with the large number of Rennes and his companions, those monsters dare not provoke them rashly.
And so.
After marching for about an hour, Rennes and his companions arrived near the large copper mine.
They did not attack recklessly.
Rennes sent three guards who practiced Shadow Qi to investigate the situation.
The reconnaissance results show.
At this moment, dozens of earth dragons were scattered inside the interconnected mine tunnels, gnawing on copper ore.
"Count Rennes, let's take action quickly."
Upon hearing that those damn earth dragons were eating the copper ore he had worked so hard to obtain, Berregton couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
He wished he could immediately take action and slay all these earth dragons.
"Let's not act just yet."
Upon hearing this, Rennes stopped Berregton.
Now is not the best time to take action.
The terrain of the mine is too advantageous for earth dragons with earth attributes.
In this narrow environment with little room for evasion, a group of earth dragons can easily turn them into kebabs with just their earth spike magic.
Although Rennes is not worried about this.
But due to the fragile structure of the mine, he dare not attack freely.
Otherwise.
If the technique's power is too great, it could cause the entire mine to collapse and bury everyone.
Based on these two points.
The best way is undoubtedly to lure these earth dragons out of the mine before attacking.
Rennes is right.
Berregton is not stubborn and directly accepts Rennes' proposal.
The plan to lure the dragons out of the cave is freshly baked.
Under the orders of the two, dozens of guards immediately took action.
They ran to the outside of the mine and provoked the earth dragons inside.
However.
As advanced magical beasts, the intelligence of these earth dragons is not low.
Seemingly seeing through the trick of the humans in front of them, these earth dragons simply ignored their provocation.
Leisurely, they continued to eat, swallowing the copper ore inside the mine.
Completely ignoring Rennes and his group's provocation.
"Now what should we do?"
Seeing that these earth dragons were completely unaffected, Berregton also became anxious.
In his opinion.
This group of earth dragons is eating his flesh and drinking his blood.
Every bite they take means losing a lot of gold coins.
Dozens of large-sized earth dragons are feasting and drinking in the mine.
The losses are so severe that just thinking about it makes him heartbroken.
If his brain wasn't still rational, he would have ordered his subordinates to launch a direct attack.
"Use smoke."
After thinking for a moment, Rennes spoke again.
The air circulation inside the mine is not strong.
Using smoke is just right.
It's best to add some ingredients to the smoke.
In this way.
Unless one can completely stop breathing.
Otherwise, there is no need to worry about those earth dragons hiding in the mine and refusing to come out.
"This is a good idea."
Upon hearing this, Boleg's eyes also lit up.
The smoke generated from burning wet wood is dense.
Next.
Rennes and his team immediately took action.
They started gathering materials on the spot, cutting down trees around them as fuel.
However.
They have the fuel.
But there is still one problem to solve.
That is the material for 'enchanting' the smoke.
Otherwise.
Pure smoke is not strong enough and it is difficult to quickly affect the group of earth dragons.
Knowing this.
Rennes immediately led his men to search for suitable 'enchanting' materials in the surrounding area.
Efforts pay off for those who are determined.
Soon.
Rennes made a discovery.
That is the stink gland of the intermediate-level Warcraft, the Strong Acid Skunk.
After trying.
The smell of this thing after burning is comparable to a biochemical weapon, it is really several times more stinky than feces.
If it weren't for Rennes and the others timely protecting their mouths and noses with Dou Qi, they would have been nauseated to the point of vomiting overnight.
And this is the effect in the open air.
If it were in a semi-sealed environment like a mine where the air doesn't circulate much, the power of this thing would probably increase exponentially.
Killing more than ten Strong Acid Skunks.
Taking their stink glands.
After all the preparations were ready.
Rennes and his group built a bonfire outside the mine and started a fire.
Hiss!~ Hiss!~
Accompanied by the burning flames.
A smoke emitting an astonishingly foul smell rose up.
Seeing this, Rennes immediately used wind magic to control the surrounding airflow.
Under the gusts of wind.
These smoke quickly rushed into the mine.
One minute!
Two minutes!
Three minutes!
...
As time passed, the interior of the mine had become a 'paradise' enveloped in smoke.
It was even impossible to see the situation inside the mine.
Another three minutes passed.
Rennes and the others could occasionally hear bursts of extremely painful roars coming from inside the mine.
Obviously, these enhanced smoke started to take effect.
