Poison God's Heritage

Chapter 764: Let Him Cook

Thankfully, the typing is soundless as the tip of the puppet's fingers is layered in a small film that is very similar to rubber to have a better weapon grip. Tapping on the puppet arms will not make any sound, however, the footsteps are too heavy and they will start echoing once all three of us walk inside.

"Help me pry some of the rubber on these puppet parts off, we'll need it to cover the soles of our feet, it is making too much noise," I said.

Tao Yang and the Blue Sun immediately understood what I meant as I pulled apart the rubber parts of a few of the spare parts.

They did so from the parts they had in their own storage bag and wrapped them tightly against the soles of their feet. Soon, all of us were ready to march out.

"Final check, can you read this?" I typed.

"Yes."

"YES."

"Oh, your caps lock is on, disable it, it sounds like you're shouting," I replied.

"Oh, apologies, I didn't know what that lock does, I guess it makes the words bigger…" Tao Yang said sheepishly.

I shook my head and said, "Now that we're ready, I'll make sure to inform you of the plan from now on," I said.

"Please do tell," the Blue Sun said.

"I'm planning on liberating the entire Bastion, though we don't have nearly enough weapons, but we do have enough poison. These Rakshasa are all huddled up together here and it would be a huge waste to leave them be now wouldn't it?" I said.

"Taking them all out is almost impossible. The bastion is gigantic, far bigger than you may have realized. And it has many places where they can hide," Tao Yang.

"The only way to kill a pest is to smoke it up with as much pesticide as you can. And if it doesn't die, use more, and more and more…" I replied.

"I don't understand how that is going to work," the Blue Sun said. "You'll need so much poison to cover this entire space you're better off drowning it in poison, but that will ruin too many things here…"

"I won't be using liquid poison. You'll see," I said.

Our group moved up, and the administrator kept close behind us. Once we reached the breach, I placed my hand on the puppet's side bag, pulling out a small cannister.

My canisters had three detonation options.

The first is to explode upon contact with anything after the trigger has been armed.

The second is, to detonate upon any change of state. Basically, a super jittery landmine option. When it is affected by vibration, light, heat, or coldness. It is a pretty nifty little inscription that will safeguard the current state of the cannister, and upon any change, it will blow it up.

And the final one, is the slow-cook grenade. Which had two options, the first was to simply blow up, and the second is to transform the pellets and pills or liquid poison inside it into gas.

I chose the third detonation option of Slow Cook.

I slowly twisted a timer trigger on the top of the cannister and pushed it in pushing in is what switches the mode from detonation to gas release.

This thing will slowly tick down and when it reaches the six-hour mark it will start releasing the poison inside it.

I then typed on the forearm, "3:29," and then moved forward.

After several steps I placed another cannister, twisted and pushed in the trigger, and typed again, "3:30."

"What are you doing?" Tao Yang asked.

"I'm making sure that all the canisters will release exactly at the same time." I typed back, "Let's keep conversation to a minimum," I added.

"I apologize," she said.

I just sighed as even the fact she typed that was not keeping conversation to a minimum.

As we were moving forward, we were making sure that our steps weren't too heavy, although the rubber helped muffle our steps, sometimes the metal itself would squeak and screech. But nothing too loud thankfully to wake these things from being asleep.

However, it was unreliable. The frames of these puppets were too heavy for the thin rubber that every step would lightly break and tear at it. It would barely help us reach the other side at this rate if we're lucky that is.

After making it halfway to the room and as I was making sure that the timer was still orderly, a new Silver Rakshasa emerged from the distance, it was walking casually across the room and looked up at the ceiling. It didn't even hesitate to climb up the ceiling and grab one of the white rakshasa by the neck, twisting it and breaking the creature's neck without making any sound.

The Silver Rakshasa slowly came back down and began munching and ripping the flesh and drinking the oozing blue blood of the White Rakshasa right in front of us.

I didn't even have to type Don't Move since they knew that merely trying to type that would alert the Silver Rakshasa.

The Silver Rakshasa took his time eating, and after half an incense stick's worth of time, it was done and dragged the remains of the body away from the room.

Apparently, if the Rakshasa themselves killed each other, it wouldn't alert the hive.

I see, this could be useful.

"Let's keep going," I said and continued on.

The two of them caught on thankfully to what I was doing, and lightly spread apart, they also began mimicking what I did, since they too had several canisters in their holding bags, that they armed based on the time.

It took us a long time before we even reached the other side of the room, but behind us was a long row of armed canisters that we hoped to come in handy real soon.

The path ahead was open, it was the same way that the Silver Raksahsa had arrived from and now we'll need to go in from there and reach the Noble one's lair.

Hopefully, it won't notice us.

Hopefully…
