Chapter 63: Devastating with Hidden Weapons
With a powerful weapon by his side, Lin Fan's sense of crisis finally subsided.
In the days that followed, Lin Fan began the second phase, which was to train his two capable subordinates.
Wang Erxiao, the first subordinate, had no doubts about his loyalty. Freed from the constraints of being a cowherd, he became even more clever and completed all tasks assigned to him.
Although Su Erhu lacked cleverness, his loyalty was unquestionable. Moreover, he had the talent of a sharpshooter, as proven in the previous battle by the river.
There was nothing Lin Fan needed to teach them in their areas of expertise. Therefore, this training focused on teaching them how to use hidden weapons, specifically the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needles.
If the cult really attacked, one person's strength would be insufficient. They needed to cooperate.
"Brother Fan, is this the legendary hidden weapon? Its power is terrifying!"
Beside the artificial lake, on the target range specifically used for experiments, Wang Erxiao was amazed when he saw the power of the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needles.
It swept across a large area, and not even a mouse could escape. If it hit a person, wouldn't it be like a hornet's nest?
"This is just an inferior product. If we obtain better materials in the future, it will be even more terrifying."
Lin Fan smiled indifferently.
"Awesome!"
Wang Erxiao could only express his admiration with this phrase.
"Brother Fan, there are so many of these hidden weapons. You said their killing power is lacking because they lack force. Can we poison the golden needles by soaking them in a potent venom before using them?"
Su Erhu looked at the densely packed golden needles inserted into the ground and scratched his head.
"Poison the golden needles?"
Lin Fan looked at him, surprised by this suggestion. He had thought of it himself, after all, coming from modern society and having watched numerous TV dramas, he was well aware of the powerful lethality of various potent toxins.
Devastating weapons.
When used on hidden weapons, they would undoubtedly become even more powerful.
Especially for the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needles, with their large quantity, even if they were fast, there would always be one or two that couldn't be avoided. If they were poisoned, the situation could be imagined.
The reason they hadn't done it yet was because they hadn't found a suitable poison.
But unexpectedly, Su Erhu had also thought of it, and he brought it up directly.
However, considering Su Erhu's identity as a hunter, it was very likely that he would also poison his arrows, so Lin Fan felt relieved.
"Since you've thought of poisoning them, do you have any powerful toxins? Something like the kind that can kill with a single drop of blood!"
Lin Fan asked directly.
"I do!"
Lin Fan only asked once, but Su Erhu immediately nodded.
"Really?"
Lin Fan became interested. If these things really existed, the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needles would be even more formidable.
"I do."
Su Erhu nodded seriously. "Because my arm strength is insufficient, it's difficult for me to injure large wild animals when I shoot my bow, especially wild boars in the mountains. Their bodies are covered in resin and mud, harder than armor. Shooting an arrow at them would at most break the skin a little, unable to cause effective damage. So I thought of using poison against them. Finally, under my grandfather's guidance, I found a type of tree that, when its skin is pierced, releases a white liquid."
"Is the white liquid poisonous?"
Lin Fan instantly focused on the key point upon hearing this explanation.
"Yes, and no."
Su Erhu shook his head and nodded at the same time.
"What do you mean?"
Lin Fan was a little confused.
Su Erhu didn't want to keep him in suspense and paused before continuing, "Although the sap of these trees contains a certain amount of toxins, it's not very strong. At most, it can make people faint. However, one time, I accidentally mixed it with the venom of a mountain forest poison frog, and it became a lethal poison that can kill with a single drop of blood!"
"A mixed poison?"
Lin Fan was truly astonished. He didn't expect the simple-minded Su Erhu to be able to concoct a mixed poison.
And judging by the effect of what he said, he mixed it very successfully.
"Now, can it still be prepared?"
Lin Fan couldn't wait to ask.
If this thing can really be prepared, and all the Rain Pear Needles are dipped in it, even if a top-notch expert were to face it, even a slight mistake would result in defeat.
After all, facing the dense golden needles, a top-notch expert can at most avoid vital areas, but some insignificant places may be overlooked and injured by the needles.
If there is a highly toxic poison that draws blood, it is not impossible to make a top-notch expert kneel.
Many famous experts have fallen because of poison.
"These materials are all available in the mountains. It will take some time to prepare."
Su Erhu gave a definite answer.
"Good!"
Lin Fan immediately ordered, "You go and handle this matter immediately, and try to prepare this poison as soon as possible."
"No problem!"
Seeing that he could help his big brother, Su Erhu became excited.
"Er Xiao, you also help during this period, with this matter as the priority."
Lin Fan instructed Wang Erxiao again.
"Okay, Brother Fan."
Wang Erxiao naturally had no objections. Compared to the foolish Su Erhu, he understood the stakes better.
After sending the two little brothers to refine the poison, Lin Fan continued to forge the Rain Pear Needles.
Although he could only produce inferior products for now, with the highly toxic poison that draws blood, the killing power was not much inferior to the complete ones, and even the group attack damage was greater.
After all, as long as they come into contact, unless there is an antidote that counters the poison or abundant internal energy, they would only end up falling when faced with the highly toxic poison that draws blood.
"This great gift, if the White Lotus Sect really comes looking for trouble, I believe they will be very pleased."
Lin Fan chuckled, and his movements became even more skillful.
Several days passed like this.
The White Lotus Sect did not come looking for trouble, but Jian Ling, who had returned home for a while, came to visit.
This time, she did not bring anyone else, only her personal maid, Xiaoqing.
Lin Fan naturally would not neglect this old friend. Upon learning that the other party had come to visit, he put down his work and changed into clean clothes before coming to the reception hall.
Both sides were familiar with this place, so there was no need for anyone to receive them.
However, just as Lin Fan greeted and sat down, picking up a cup and taking a sip of tea to quench his thirst, the first sentence of formal conversation from Jian Ling made him spray out the tea he had just drunk.
"Pfft!! Cough cough..."
Lin Fan was choked and stared at the other person with wide eyes, "What did you say? You want to marry me??"
"Yes!"
Jian Ling nodded seriously, "I just don't know if Brother Lin is willing or dare to marry me!"
"Cough cough..."
Lin Fan couldn't help but cough a few more times. After a while, he recovered and asked, "Miss Jian Ling, can you explain the reason? Why do you suddenly want to marry me? It can't be just because I'm handsome and you can't help yourself, right?"
Although the relationship between the two sides was not bad, it hadn't reached the point of discussing marriage.
And even if they did want to, it should be Lin Fan who proposed, given the other party's status.
But now...
The other party came to his door and said she wanted to marry him.
This was absurd!
And asking him if he dared.
What's the situation?
Jian Ling fell silent for a moment, but her maid Xiaoqing explained the situation.
After listening to Xiaoqing's explanation, Lin Fan finally understood the situation.
