Chapter 35

Yun Mo looked at the cylinders with a hint of pride flashing in his eyes. (The fastest updated full-text novel)

He carefully took down a few cylinders, opened the lids, and revealed the black powder inside.

Others might not know what it was, but Yun Mo was crystal clear.

Gunpowder! These were all the gunpowder he had secretly made over the past six months.

There was more than just gunpowder! Among the countless cylinders, there were also many inconspicuous small crystal bottles, containing a viscous transparent liquid.

Yun Mo had found these crystal bottles when he discovered the cave by chance. He didn't know who had been there and left these bottles, but that wasn't what he needed to think about. He only knew that this was a safe place, and that was enough.

So he stored the things he made here. In the dark corner of the cave, he also kept some food in case of emergencies. Indeed, it came in handy today!

He looked at those bottles, a murderous intent flashing in his eyes. He casually untied the bundle on his back and threw the flat, round metal objects onto the ground.

The 'dang dang' sounds kept ringing out. The bird, Chijiu, carefully pecked at these metals with its beak, even more curious about what Yun Mo was going to do.

What was Yun Mo going to do? It was simple—kill people!

What was needed to kill people? Power, strength, or weapons!

Power, Yun Mo was just an ordinary person with no status or position, so he had no power.

Strength, while he could be considered the king among the young, and might become the king among adults in the future, his current strength was not enough to face his enemies.

So there was only one way left—weapons!

Weapons came in many forms, and since Yun Mo was from the modern era, he naturally chose firearms!

Homemade landmines were the best kind of weapon!

Yun Mo carefully filled the black gunpowder from the cylinders into the metal discs, which were only a dozen centimeters in diameter, connected the fuses and triggers correctly, and then placed the finished products in the cloth on the ground!

One, two, three... He kept making them until he had over thirty, before he stopped.

Next, he started making hand grenades! Of course, these were simplified versions of grenades, the same ones that killed the assassin last night!

This was easier to make than landmines. In no time, Yun Mo made over fifty, and this time he made them smaller, each only about ten centimeters long and two centimeters thick, but their power was no less than before!

With the firearms ready, Yun Mo sighed, "If only I knew how to make guns, I could have dominated the world with one shot per person!"

Now it was time to deal with those bottles. Yun Mo was extremely cautious, as they contained something that made people shudder at the mere mention—poison!

The poisons in these crystal bottles had different effects. The first one was the Mind-Losing Liquid! Anyone who was poisoned by this would suddenly become dazed, and the speed at which it destroyed brain nerves was astonishing! It was made by mixing Datura, Aconite, and Rattlesnake venom in a specific ratio! If the ratio was off by a bit, it would only cause death, not madness! But that would make it easy to detect. However, with the precise ratio, it was impossible to detect, and even the most skilled physicians or cultivators would only find that the victim's brain nerves were suddenly disordered, and wouldn't suspect poisoning. This made it much safer than ordinary poisons!

The next bottle contained Bone-Dissolving Liquid! This was an extremely vicious poison. Anyone who was poisoned by this would die instantly, their body dissolving into water and seeping into the ground without a trace! It was the perfect choice for killing and disposing of bodies! However, this poison was too sinister, and Yun Mo wouldn't use it unless he was extremely angry. The martial arts master who taught him the formula had repeatedly warned him not to abuse it, as it was against the natural order and should only be used in extreme cases!

But Yun Mo decided to use it today! Because he was at the edge of a cliff, the situation was precarious, and his enemies were numerous and powerful. He had no choice but to use it, out of necessity!

The components of the Bone-Dissolving Liquid were quite simple—daffodil, strychnine, and hemlock extract mixed with the saliva of a colorful five-step toad, all in a strict ratio! These ingredients were extremely hard to obtain in his previous life, especially the saliva of the colorful five-step toad, which was a rare find! Therefore, while the formula existed, it was extremely difficult to make!

But the Purple Wisteria Empire was different. With the existence of mages, as long as you had money, those who knew healing spells could easily save people from these poisons! Therefore, these things were not regulated, and the colorful five-step toads were abundant in the wild, which allowed Yun Mo to finally create this highly toxic mixture!

Even the most powerful mages would be at a loss when faced with this mixed poison! It not only acted quickly but was also almost impossible to cure! Yun Mo was extremely careful when using it, as he didn't want to fail and end up hurting himself.

The third bottle contained a large-scale lethal poison called Bone-Softening Powder! This poison could be mixed into water or food, or applied to a sharp blade to enter the body through the bloodstream! It was colorless and odorless, and those who were poisoned would have their bones turn as soft as cotton, while remaining fully conscious and at the mercy of others! Because it could poison thousands of people through water or food, it was a large-scale lethal poison! However, after two hours, the effects would wear off, and there would be no lasting damage, which made it seem less sinister in that regard!

But don't forget! Being poisoned by this would put you at the mercy of others, and your life would be in their hands! Especially for girls, if they were poisoned by this, they would be helpless and could only watch as they were violated, which would be worse than death! In this sense, this poison was even more terrifying than the first two!

The effects were potent, but the ingredients were simple. Mixing opium, water lily seeds, dust perfume, and dream flower juice would produce this deadly poison! Individually, none of these ingredients were particularly toxic, but when mixed, they became extremely dangerous! No one in the Purple Wisteria Empire had recognized this, and these plants were abundant in the mountains, making it easy for Yun Mo to create the poison!

There were several other highly toxic poisons, but they weren't needed this time, so Yun Mo didn't use them.

He took out three finely crafted steel daggers from his pocket, each with a different color handle for easy identification!

The dagger with a black handle was coated with the Mind-Losing Liquid, the one with a red handle with the Bone-Dissolving Liquid, and the one with a white handle with the Bone-Softening Powder!

Yun Mo was extremely cautious while doing this, wearing thick deer leather gloves on his hands! Chijiu, seeing Yun Mo's actions, knew they weren't good and instinctively stayed far away, her small eyes wide open as she watched Yun Mo's every move!

The three daggers, coated with the poisons, were placed on a nearby rock to dry. He screwed the bottle caps back on and hung them up with a rope, finally letting out a relieved sigh.

With the firearms and poisons ready, it was time for the tools!

Yun Mo picked out a half-cylindrical, tile-like object from the strange metals on the ground, and connected some adjustable metal rods of varying lengths. Then, from the depths of the cave, he retrieved a specially prepared rope and ring, and connected them to the object, thus creating the world-famous Luoyang shovel on the land of the Purple Wisteria Empire!

Yun Mo was a high-achieving student in the architecture department and was very familiar with these convenient tools! In construction, electric Luoyang shovels were often used to check the soil layers deep in the ground to determine if a site was suitable for building high-rise buildings. If the soil was highly fluid, it couldn't be used for construction, as it would be dangerous.

The Purple Wisteria Empire had no electricity, so Yun Mo had to make an old-style Luoyang shovel. Moreover, the one he made was the most standard version, with extremely precise dimensions and curvature, and the edges were made from the front claws of a pangolin, making it the best tool!

Of course, the craftsmanship of the Purple Wisteria Empire was truly exceptional! Yun Mo gave the blueprints to the craftsmen, and although they didn't know what it was, they made it flawlessly, even the threads on the metal rods were perfectly polished, earning Yun Mo's praise!

Yun Mo spent almost all the money he had earned over the past half year on these tools, but he didn't regret it. With these tools, he had power and strength, and was no longer a worm to be trampled on!

Next, he combined several finely crafted sharp metal spikes! A five-claw grappling hook appeared in his hand, and with the rope attached, Yun Mo now had the ability to climb walls and move swiftly!

Of course, he could also use the grappling hook and Bone-Softening Powder to steal and seduce, but he wasn't in the mood for that!

Everything was ready. Yun Mo packed all the items, then took out the stored dry food and meat, and ate with Chijiu!

Chijiu was full after eating one piece of beef jerky and lay on her back, unable to move.

Yun Mo couldn't help but laugh at Chijiu's comical appearance, then said to the bird in a gentle tone, "Chijiu, I have to go out alone again. It's not that I don't want to take you, but this time it's too dangerous, and I'm afraid I might put you in harm's way. Please stay here and wait for me, okay?"

Chijiu immediately jumped up, chirping loudly, clearly very unhappy about Yun Mo leaving her behind again!

Yun Mo smiled bitterly, and after much effort, he finally calmed the almost explosive bird. He then put on his cloak, shouldered his pack, and crawled out of the cave along the same path he came in.

There might be some venomous snakes or other dangerous creatures here, but for Chijiu, they were just snacks, so Yun Mo was very放心!

He crawled out of the exit, looked around to make sure there was no abnormality, and then covered the entrance. He then disappeared into the jungle under the cover of the heavy rain!
