Chapter Thirty: New-Type Weapon

  "Is it really as exaggerated as you said?" Shi Hu looked at the small pouches made of animal skin in front of him, a puzzled expression on his face, and stretched out his hand to pick up a small earthenware package and weigh it.

  "Xiaoyao, why aren't you saying anything?" Shi Hu saw that Xiaoyao behind him didn't respond, so he turned his head to look back and was immediately stunned.

  The stone tiger only saw a group of people tens of meters away from him, all crouching on the ground with their hands covering their heads, burying them deep down, looking like they were scared out of their wits.

  "What's going on?" Shi Hu's face was full of surprise and his heart was filled with doubts. He had only moved the small package slightly, so why were everyone's expressions like this?

  "With a 'brush' sound, Leng Xiao Yao snatched the medicine package from Shi Hu's hand and carefully placed it on the ground. His face was pale, knowing that the last few packages he made had increased the medicinal properties. In other words, the small package in Shi Hu's hand just now was Leng Xiao Yao's specially-made medicine after recent concentration and extraction, with a power equivalent to dozens of times that of ordinary medicine packages. How could it not make him worried?"

  "General! Don't let us, over a hundred men who just barely escaped from the enemy's clutches, die unjustly here!" Zheng Xiaohu cried out with a look of belated fear on his face. At this moment, he finally understood why his battalion commander had treated him that way back at the cliff waist. He completely understood now why his commander had tied him up; if he were the commander, he would have done the same, no, even more so. Ignorant people are truly terrifying!

  Shi Hu saw the vanguard camp of over a hundred people with their frightened and fearful appearance, and secretly smiled to himself. He said with a smile on his face: "Is it as exaggerated as you all say? It's just a small earth mound, can it really blow us all up? Does it have such great power?"

  Leng Xiao Yao knew that the people in this space didn't understand the power of the Z medicine. If he just told them, it would be hard to convince them. The only way was to use proof to let them know the power of these small packets. So when Leng Xiao Yao gave orders to Shi Hu, he wisely chose the remaining hundred or so people from the Vanguard Camp, because they had all witnessed the power of the Z medicine packets. Therefore, when preparing the Z medicine packets, they would definitely be extremely careful.

  "General, why don't we go to the back mountain ridge and try out this so-called Z medicine package of yours?" suggested Leng Xiao Yao.

  "Alright, let me, this country bumpkin, witness the so-called sword god's power that you all speak of." Shi Hu said with a faint smile on his face, in his heart, he had always thought that this unimpressive little package could never reach the level of a Sword Saint's one-hit kill.

  In the mountains behind Tiger Valley, Shi Hu and his group stood halfway up the mountain. At this moment, Shi Hu held the earthenware medicine package in his hand, with a puzzled expression on his face, he asked Leng Xuan: "Xuan, you mean I use my internal force to smash this small package into something hard and it will explode?"

  "En." Leng Xiangyao nodded and took a few steps back.

  "Alright, then let me test the power of this package." Shi Hu got confirmation from Leng Xiao Yao and his eyes scanned a flat stone on the mountain waist over 400 meters away.

  Leng Xiao and others were preparing at the Stone Tiger, when suddenly each of them took out a ball of cotton from their pockets and stuffed it into their ears.

  Whoosh! A high-flying object was thrown, and a high-amplitude crash landed on the flat ground over 400 meters away from Shi Hu and the others, perfectly falling in the position he had predicted.

  "Boom!" A faint rumbling sound came from the middle of the mountain, followed by a violent explosion. The surrounding area was filled with a deafening roar, and rocks shot out in all directions like sharp arrows, piercing countless small holes through the massive trees nearby.

  At the moment of the explosion, Shī Hǔ only felt a loud rumbling sound in his ears. Fortunately, his cultivation was relatively high, and after a moment, his hearing returned to normal. He looked at the spot where he had thrown the explosive package and suddenly turned pale. It was only then that he understood why Lěng Xiāo Yóu and others were so afraid in the military restricted area. As soon as he thought about how close he had come to detonating the explosives, Shī Hǔ felt a chill run down his back.

  "General, you know now!" Zheng Xiaohu and others took out the cotton balls stuffed in their ears, asking with a look of fear on their faces.

  "What a powerful destructive force!" Shitou was silent for half a day, and finally uttered a crude remark under everyone's anxious waiting.

  After Shi Hu finished speaking, he fell into deep thought. After a moment, he raised his head and gazed at Leng Xiang with a sharp glint in his eyes: "Xiang, how did you learn to make this kind of bag?"

  "This is something I saw in a book on alchemy when I was bored at home. What's wrong? Does the general have any questions?" Leng Xiao actually found an excuse for himself when he first made the earth medicine, so when Shi Hu asked him, he replied without hesitation.

  Shi Hu heard this question from Leng Xiao Yao and his eyes sparkled again, he hastily asked: "Is that alchemy book still around?"

  Leng Xiao Yao couldn't help but secretly admire Shi Hu's expression, able to discern the subsequent effects from the medicine package. It was indeed worthy of the captain of the Empire's Four Great Military Units' Ferocious Tiger Unit. Apparently, outsiders had been deceived by his carefree exterior.

  "It seems...". Leng Xiao Yao scratched his head, as if recalling something. Under the impatient gaze of the crowd, he hesitantly said: "It seems that one time I went to the toilet and forgot to bring paper, so I saw this book on the side and read it out of boredom. After finishing it, I directly used it to wipe my butt."

  "Wipe your butt?" Shi Hu and the others were stunned for a moment, and the next moment, everyone looked at Leng Xiao with strange eyes. He actually used the precious book of alchemy to wipe his butt, which seemed a bit too extravagant?

  "Really wiped out?" Shi Hu asked again, unwilling to give up.

  "En." Leng Xiao Yao's face showed an awkward expression as she nodded slightly.

  "Never mind, but about the composition of this bag, can you not spread it out? What I mean is... You should understand." Shi Hu gave Leng Xiao Yao a knowing glance.

  "Hehe, no problem."

  Shi Hu heard Lin Xiao Yao's words and a smile appeared on his face. He stretched out his hand to pat Lin Xiao Yao's shoulder, saying: "Alright, alright little guy, are you interested in coming under my command as the captain of my personal guard?"

  The Guard Captain? Zheng Xiaohu and others behind Shi Hu were stunned when they heard this sentence. Don't underestimate the Imperial Guard of the Ferocious Tiger Corps, you know that although there are only over a hundred people in the Imperial Guard, these people are all elites selected from various camps, and their combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of 10,000 soldiers. Although one soldier can be selected from the Imperial Guard to take on the position of Thousand-Man Commander, it can be seen how high the level of this Guard Captain is.

  Leng Xiao Yao heard Shi Hu's words and fell into deep thought. However, when he recalled Wang Shu's gaze before his death, he shook his head and said: "Thank you, General, for your kindness, but I'll continue to stay in the Vanguard Camp, because my brothers are here."

  Actually, Shi Hu regretted his words as soon as they left his mouth. His personal guard had a captain, and if he rashly let Leng Xiao Yao take over, how would he arrange for the previous captain? Not to mention that his personal guard was the highest-ranking group of old soldiers who followed him on campaigns south and north. If he really did this, it would inevitably make his subordinates feel cold. Just as he was worrying about how to resolve this matter, Leng Xiao Yao came up with a solution: "Alright! Since you don't want to come, I won't force you. However, since you've achieved such great merit this time, I really don't know how to reward you properly. Let's do it like this: Zheng Xiaotiger will temporarily take over as the commander of the vanguard camp. If there are any military achievements later, we can make it official. As for Zheng Xiaotiger's position, you can take over. I believe they won't have any objections."

  "This, General, won't it be bad?" said Cold XiaoYao calmly, although he was very confident in himself as the so-called QianFuZhang, but after all, he had only been in the army for less than a year, and if he rashly took the position, what would others think.

  Shi Hu heard this sentence from Leng Xiao Yao, his face still had a faint smile, but he looked at Zheng Xiao Hu and the others.

  "Xiaoyao, don't worry about anything. You be our captain, we all obey you. Everyone, what do you say? Do you agree?" Xingzi patted Xiaoyao's shoulder and shouted to the companions behind him.

  "Good, good, good!" More than a hundred people shouted in unison. For this battle after the break, the wisdom shown by Leng Xiao was seen by everyone, especially the ambush in the forest and the traps set by Leng Xiao. These hundred people were deeply shocked in their hearts, and they realized for the first time that war could be fought like this.

  Shi Hu saw the reaction of over a hundred people, and with a smile on his face, he patted Leng Xiao Yao's shoulder and laughed: "See? This is what everyone expected. So, as the captain of the Vanguard Regiment, you're set. If you think this position is too lowly, I can give it up to you, how about you become the general instead?"

  "The general laughed and said, 'How dare you, young one? You don't have the qualifications or abilities for this. Since everyone is willing to recommend me as captain, I'll just have to accept it.'" Cold Xiao Yao responded lightly.

  "Let's go! We should head back." Shi Hu waved his hand and led Leng Xiao Yao and the others towards the barracks at the foot of the mountain.
