Back Off, Let Me Come

Not lethal, but can cause hallucinations.

Isn't this because the brain is damaged by radiation?

Isn’t this serious?

She looked at Jimo Qiu in silence. It seemed that she had nothing to complain about, but in fact, she complained about everything. Jimo Qiu was honest in this regard: "You don't know that the human race's resistance to radiation has improved a lot compared to before the disaster."

In the early years of the catastrophe, various mutations emerged one after another.

Even if they tried every possible way to improve their resistance, whether through genetic modification or technological means, it was useless in the face of radiation mutation. In the end, they had to hide in the land of God's favor to barely keep a little spark. The so-called "land of God's favor" has other names, such as "Peach Blossom Land" and "Garden of Eden". The human fire lived there until the external radiation level dropped to a level that humans could barely bear at that time.

Of course, we had no choice but to leave at that time. With limited resources and an increasing population, conflicts were inevitable. Compared with the harsh environment at that time, the residual radiation from the stone in front of us was just a headache and hallucination, which was not serious.

Shen Tang took a while to utter a sentence: "But the radiation of this thing is still over the limit. It's not a good thing."

Jimo Qiu said: "It is also a good thing if used properly."

Shen Tang thought seriously about Jimo Qiu's suggestion: "...it can indeed turn waste into treasure. This should be the one with the highest radiation I have encountered so far...If I can purify and grind it and add some small ingredients to the enemy's water source, even if I can't kill them, I can at least give them a headache for a while."

After saying this, she beat the wooden fish in her heart for a while and reflected: "However, this action is immoral. We are the king's teacher who upholds justice. We should try not to use such means that are against the harmony between heaven and man."

The high priest looked calm and composed, but it was surprising that he was so ruthless when he made a suggestion. Shen Tang would not blame him, but he would not accept this suggestion either, so he waved his hand to refuse.

Unexpectedly, Jimo Qiu looked innocent and confused.

Shen Tang asked him back: "That's not what you meant?"

Jimo Qiu said somewhat embarrassedly: "...I mean this thing can record and play images, which is good for entertainment."

I never thought of using this thing as a weapon to fight the enemy.

Shen Tang: “…”

He looked at the sky, looked at the ground, and made various small movements to show that he was guilty.

Compared with Jimo Qiu, Shen Tang found that her conscience was a little dirty. Just as she was thinking about how to ease the embarrassment, Gu Chi and others received the news and rushed over. Before seeing the person, she heard his voice first: "My lord, I heard that there is military intelligence from General Shaoxuan?"

Shen Tang knew that he was worried about Bai Su's safety. Bai Su went to the frontline before her realm was stable. She had no time to familiarize herself with her strength and would be at a disadvantage in actual combat. So she gave Gu Chi a reassurance first: "Shao Xuanwu has excellent luck. He has made great contributions as soon as he met up with Duke Lu. He broke the enemy's plan and sent the 'trophy' to us."

Qi Shan noticed the pile of things on the ground as soon as he came over.

"Are these the spoils?"

In fact, she doesn't remember either.

Qi Shan squatted down and grabbed a handful of broken lime on the ground, showing great interest. Shen Tang reached out and patted the back of his hand: "Are you a cat? Do you know that curiosity kills the cat? You dare to touch anything?"

The back of his hand was visibly red, with several fingerprints left on it.

Qishan said: "This is a good item."

Gu Chi also echoed: "I've always heard that ghosts haunt certain places. Now that I think about it, this may be the crux of the problem."

Shen Tang: "It is indeed a good thing. The high priest just suggested that it can be mined and used. Perhaps we can record the repertoire of the Liyuan Opera Troupe and then broadcast it many times in other places."

Gu Chi and Qi Shan were both strangely silent for a few breaths.

The look he gave Shen Tang seemed to be condemning something.

What a waste! What a waste!

Qi Shan wiped the dust off his hands and said, "... Shan means that since this thing can cause hallucinations, it must be some kind of natural poison that few people know about. In this case, it is better to throw it into the enemy's water source to defeat the enemy."

Gu Chi on the side also nodded in agreement.

"Yuan Liang and I share the same view."

Shen Tang: “…”

She slapped her face in the puzzled looks of Qishan and the other two, and said, "Yuanliang, the three of us can beat the wooden fish if we have nothing to do."

Merit +1, merit +1, merit +1...

Qishan looked at Gu Chi inquiringly.

Gu Chi said: "The master said that we are too immoral."

Knocking the wooden fish increases merit.

Qishan: "...What's so immoral about this?"

Isn't it a basic operation to contaminate the enemy's food and water sources during a war? If you have the opportunity to poison someone but don't, that's a brain hole. The enemy has already thrown poisonous insects at their side, and they are just throwing some stones back, how can it be considered unethical? He was very puzzled, and once suspected that he could not keep up with the ever-changing battlefield in the past two years as regent.

Shen Tang: “…”

Jimo Qiu said: "Although it is poisonous, to achieve the effect that Qi Zhongshu wants, one person must chew three to five pounds of stone alive."

This is obviously unrealistic and not feasible.

Qi Shan gave up the idea after hearing this. Gu Chi also looked regretful. However, when he thought about how Bai Su and Wu Xian had suffered a great loss because of the poisonous insects raised by the enemy, he was naturally unwilling to let it end like this: "The high priest is an expert in raising poisonous insects. Can we retaliate?"

Jimo Qiu shook his head and refused.

If this method could be used, he would have used it long ago.

It's fine for Lin Feng to use it on a small scale, but large-scale use will bring punishment from the gods, and the bad debt will be recorded on Her Highness, which is not good for her to survive. The Heavenly Dao wants to see the King's Master support humanity, rather than external forces arbitrarily interfering in the fate of the human race.

If the heavens allowed him to do so, he might as well set up an altar and see if he could get lucky and consult with some god to restart the world to the point of the Cataclysm. If the cause and effect could be reversed, everything after the Cataclysm could be avoided.

Of course, Your Highness doesn't have to suffer here.

The problem is that Heaven won’t allow it.

He is stingy, domineering, and likes to make people guess what he is thinking.

In short——

In the quiet evening, there was a sudden thunder explosion overhead. A dry thunderbolt fell without warning not far from the tent and broke the flag.

Shen Tang's nerves tensed: "An enemy attack?"

When they walked out of the tent, they found a small commotion outside. The patrol soldiers looked at the dead body of the flag with fear and vigilance, not understanding why thunder suddenly fell in such good weather. You know, there are special people to pay attention to this kind of weather. They also suspected that the enemy had come.

For this purpose, Shen Tang even flew into the air to investigate for a while.

Not to mention the enemy's shadow, there wasn't even a ghost.

The army is currently still in the territory of Kangguo. There are only two possibilities for the enemy to appear here - either the border troops have fought with the enemy in advance and were defeated miserably, so there was no time to send the news; or someone in the enemy camp came here to cause trouble because he relied on his strength.

At the moment, it seems like neither.

"...There's not even a cloud, what the hell is this thunder that's going to strike?" It was a false alarm, and Shen Tang pointed to the sky and cursed in anger.

You have to know that people in this world are still very superstitious.

This inexplicable change in the celestial phenomena would be misinterpreted by those with ulterior motives. In the most serious case, it could put the blame on Shen Tang, accusing her of being unjust in her conquests, putting her in a passive situation in terms of public opinion. In the least serious case, it could also disrupt the morale of the army and intimidate the soldiers.

If the soldiers' minds are shaken, their morale will easily become unstable.

For this reason, it is natural for Shen Tang to point to the sky and curse.

"Bang, bang, bang. I'll turn around and use a cannon to bombard you!" Shen Tang cursed while holding back the words and kicked over the fire rack next to him.

Jimo Qiu was ashamed and asked for forgiveness.

Shen Tang looked puzzled: "I didn't scold you?"

Why is he apologizing for no reason?

Shen Tang recalled the conversation between Jimo Qiu and Qi Shan, and thought that he apologized because he refused to use the Gu worms: "... Ever since the Wu Kingdom was bewitched, when Gu worms were used on the battlefield, every time there was no loss of life and public resentment. If it is recorded in history books, it will be easy for future generations to criticize it as unjust. So let's not use it. Not having Gu worms will not hinder us from winning the battle."

In the eyes of the world, poisonous insects are still considered a unorthodox practice.

If it gets abused and out of control, the Wu Kingdom in the past will be a lesson for us.

Shen Tang doesn't want to dig a big hole for himself.

Jimo Qiu hesitated: "I apologize for Lei Ting just now."

"Why is the high priest setting off thunder for no reason?" Shen Tang's head was filled with three big question marks. He didn't notice the fluctuation of martial energy just now.

Jimo Qiu said timidly: "It is disrespectful to the Way of Heaven."

I didn't say it out loud, but I did complain a few times in my heart.

The Heavenly Dao is everywhere. As long as His existence is mentioned, even if it is just a cricket in the heart, the other party will sense it. The restrictions He imposed on him also reminded him of this all the time - what he thinks, what he does, the Heavenly Dao knows it clearly.

Shen Tang: "...Is he sick?"

After cursing, I looked up at the sky, but there was no movement.

"Old thing? Old Deng? Old immortal?"

She and Qishan both looked at Jimo Qiu in confusion.

Shen Tang was better off. She knew that Jimo Qiu had a relationship with the gods, so she didn't make things difficult for him. But Qi Shan and the other two refused to believe in it.

"Shan has never seen such a miracle. Is there really a way of heaven?"

When he was in adversity, he also cursed God for being blind. Why didn't there be a thunder warning at that time?

Jimo Qiu covered his mouth and chirped softly.

"... Lao Dong..."

Before he could even utter the word "west", a bolt of lightning as thick as an index finger struck down and landed right at Jimo Qiu's feet.

Qishan: "...Old thing?"

Gu Chi also joined in the fun: "...Old thing?"

No matter how others cursed, they didn't react, but Jimo Qiu couldn't say a single dirty word. If he did, he would give a thunderous warning. Facing Shen Tang's puzzled and curious eyes, Jimo Qiu smiled bitterly: "He..."

An idea suddenly flashed through Shen Tang's mind: "He bullies the weak and fears the strong?"

Jimo Qiu doesn't look weak either.

"...Well, anyway, you just don't like me."

Shen Tang commented: "The old man is quite petty."

For ordinary mortals, "Heaven's Way" is a completely untraceable existence. He hated Jimo Qiu, who warned people with a thunderous warning at the cricket's words, just like a small ant in an ant colony scolding someone and letting people nearby hear it, so this person specially dug up the ant nest to find the ant and then threatened it... Isn't this just being bored?

Qishan and the other two looked thoughtful.

“He will get angry if the high priest shows any disrespect?”

Qi Shan and Shen Tang have similar ideas. They cannot regard such a petty-minded existence as "the way of heaven" and can only use "Him" as a substitute.

Jimo Qiu nodded: "Yes, but it's not His fault."

He was not targeting Jimo Qiu on purpose, he just discriminated equally against every existence that appeared in the fate track of Saint Lord Hongluan.

"It's just a warning. He won't really kill me." Jimo Qiu was very confident about this.

"Not only does he bully the weak and fear the strong, but he also appears to be strong but is actually weak?"

Jimo Qiu: “…”

Your Highness's evaluation is both pertinent and to the point.

Jimo Qiu showed a stubborn and pure smile: "I have been through this all these years, Your Highness, there is no need to be angry with me."

Most of the time, he was used to being gentle and submissive, and his temper was not as explosive and hard as other victims, because he knew that it would not do him any good to go against the way of heaven. Well, as long as it did not involve His Highness, he would generally not disobey Him. "It's much better now."

Shen Tang didn't understand the hidden meaning behind his words, but he couldn't help but feel pity for him: "I'm sorry for your hardship..."

At this moment, Qishan put his hand on Jimo Qiu's shoulder.

The former's eyes were startlingly bright: "The high priest was disrespectful to Him, so He sent down thunder. Was there any other cost in this process?"

Do you want to use martial energy/divine power or something like that?

Jimo Qiu: “Not really.”

He had a bad feeling in his heart.

As expected——

"In that case, isn't this a no-cost business?"

A burst of thunder and lightning will consume some saliva.

Is there any more cost-effective way of attacking than this?

Jimo Qiu: “…”

He swallowed and avoided Qi Shan's burning gaze - Qi Zhongshu's suggestion was not to deal with the enemy, but clearly to deal with him. If he wanted to scare him to death, he could just say it directly, without having to kill him with a borrowed knife.

Qi Shan understood his silence: "No?"

Jimo Qiu could only bite the bullet and say: "I still have a mission to complete. Now is not the time to sacrifice my life for justice..."

Heaven's patience with him is very limited.

The first few times were just warnings. If he dared to go any further, he would be struck by thunder, the kind that would kill him and he would never be able to survive.

Upon hearing this, Qi Shan could only regret that another shortcut was blocked.

Jimo Qiu secretly wiped the sweat off his face.

Seeing Qi Shan and Gu Chi retract their eager gazes, and thinking of the status of the two in His Highness' heart, he bit his lip secretly and said, "Although this method is not feasible, I do have a plan..."

“I’m all ears.”

Jimo Qiu pointed at the stone powder on the ground and said, "Although this thing cannot harm people directly, it can amplify the effect of the military formation illusion and make the illusion more real. It may have a miraculous effect."

The principle of the military illusion is to influence the enemy's spirit through words and create an illusion. Stone powder has a similar effect. As long as you ignore the radiation, this stone powder is an excellent auxiliary material for setting up the formation.
