Chapter 274: Poisoning the Wolf King
Chapter 274: Poisoning the Wolf King
Chen Xian was moved when he heard what Commander Tietou said. After thinking for a moment, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes. He suggested, "In this case, why don't we just kill the Wolf King? As long as the Wolf King dies and Mad Wolf ascends the throne, our plan can proceed more smoothly."
When Tietou and Mad Wolf heard this, they were both shocked. Tietou waved his hands quickly, his face full of worry: "That won't do. In our werewolf tribe, killing brothers is a taboo. The tribe will not respect such a person. Even if Mad Wolf sits on the throne, it will be difficult to convince the people."
Mad Wolf also nodded in agreement, looking nervous: "Yes, Boss, this is no small matter, the rules of the wolf tribe cannot be broken."
Chen Xian smiled and explained calmly, "Of course I know how serious this is. The killing I mentioned does not mean we will do it ourselves, but we will kill with someone else's knife." As he spoke, he took out a small bottle from his arms, which contained a liquid that emitted a strange light. "This is a poison unique to the trolls. The toxicity is extremely hidden, and the onset time can be controlled. We just need to make a clever plan and put the blame on the trolls."
Mad Wolf was shocked. He knew that Chen Xian was collecting the secret key to the Beast God's treasure, and he also understood that Chen Xian might have a deeper plan for this.
After hesitating for a moment, he nodded slowly: "Boss, I believe you, I will do as you say."
As the leader of the wolf tribe, Ironhead had experienced many conflicts with the trolls. When he thought that this move would not only get rid of the useless wolf king but also give him a reason to deal with the trolls, his eyes lit up and he nodded heavily: "Okay, let's do it!"
After some discussion, the three decided to poison the wolf king when signing the Fox Wine Cooperation Contract. In the following days, Chen Xian stayed in his cliff cave again, and from time to time he asked the fox women in the winery for some materials. I wonder what they were busy with?
Under the management of Old Fox, the winery started brewing a new batch of Fox wine.
Finally, the day came when the Wolf King summoned them to sign the contract. Chen Xian brought the carefully prepared fox wine to the Wolf Tribe Palace. The palace was built of huge stones and exuded a rough atmosphere. Inside the palace, the Wolf Tribe's generals were sitting or standing, looking majestic.
Chen Xian couldn't help but frown when he saw the Wolf King. The Wolf King was fat and bloated, sitting on a huge throne, with a hint of arrogance and greed on his face. When he saw Chen Xian coming in, the Wolf King raised his eyelids slightly and said in a low voice: "I heard that you want to cooperate with me in the Fox Wine business?"
Chen Xian bowed respectfully and said, "Yes, Your Majesty. If the business of Fox Wine can be done well, it will be of great benefit to both of us."
The Wolf King sneered: "Benefits? Humph, I am not that easy to fool. Cooperation is fine, but I want to take twice the profit."
Although Chen Xian was unhappy, he agreed without thinking: "Everything is up to your Majesty. As long as we can reach a cooperation and let Fox Wine benefit the Wolf Clan, this little profit is nothing."
The wolf king nodded with satisfaction: "You are quite sensible."
The cooperation was successfully reached, and the wolf king was in a good mood. He immediately decided to invite Chen Xian to a banquet. At the banquet, the long table was filled with fine wine and delicious food, and the generals of the wolf tribe raised their glasses and drank.
Chen Xian presented the fox wine he had brought with him. The Wolf King was about to reach out to take it but was stopped by the White-haired Leader.
The white-haired commander looked at Chen Xian with a vigilant expression and said, "Be careful, there may be a scam. Let him drink a cup first."
Chen Xian was prepared and poured himself a glass of wine without hesitation and drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing this, the wolf king assured someone to take the wine jug, filled it up for him, and took a sip. Instantly, a look of surprise appeared on his face: "This wine is better than the one White Hair brought back last time!"
The atmosphere at the banquet became increasingly heated. At this time, a group of fox slave girls were brought up. They were graceful and began to dance. The wolf king's eyes suddenly widened, and he stared at the fox girls with lustful eyes, and his saliva was almost flowing down.
Just as the wolf king was immersed in the fox girl's dance, his face suddenly changed, he covered his chest, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. "Puff--" The blood splashed on the table, instantly making the whole banquet quiet.
"Your Majesty!" The white-haired commander was the first to react. He immediately slammed the table and pointed at Chen Xian and shouted, "It's you. The wine you gave Your Majesty was poisonous!" The other wolf generals also scolded Chen Xian. They drew their weapons one by one, surrounded Chen Xian, their eyes filled with anger and murderous intent.
Chen Xian secretly complained in his heart. He didn't expect things to develop so quickly. He had originally planned that the poison would take effect after the banquet, so that he would have enough time to leave.
Unexpectedly, when the wolf king saw the fox girl dancing, his blood boiled, which accelerated the effect of the poison.
It is true that lust is like a sword hanging over your head.
Now, all hell breaks loose.
"You misunderstood. How could I poison His Majesty?" Chen Xian hurriedly explained, but the wolf generals at this time simply couldn't listen.
"Hmph, the evidence is conclusive, and you still want to quibble!" The white-haired commander's face was full of anger. He waved his hand and the wolf soldiers were ready to take action.
Chen Xian suddenly had an idea. He shouted, "Wait a minute! If I really poisoned you, why didn't I do it when you weren't paying attention? Instead, I did it in public so that you could catch me. There must be something fishy going on. Maybe someone is deliberately framing me to destroy our cooperation!"
After hearing this, the White Hair Commander was slightly moved. Although he was angry, he also knew that what Chen Xian said made some sense. If Chen Xian really poisoned deliberately, he would not be so stupid.
"Then tell me, what happened? Why did His Majesty suddenly get poisoned?" the white-haired commander asked coldly.
"Let's wait for your tribe's witch doctor to diagnose it first!"
As soon as the wolf king vomited blood, two witch doctors came forward to check.
This troll's special poison, although hidden and extremely toxic, has very distinctive characteristics that can be recognized by any witch doctor or shaman.
What Chen Xian was waiting for was for the witch doctors to reveal the murderer themselves.
After a while, a witch doctor came over and said to everyone, "Your Majesty the Wolf King was poisoned by the troll shaman. This poison is extremely strange. It must have been made by a troll shaman of the legendary realm."
"Troll Shaman?"
"Damn troll, how dare you poison our wolf king."
"I'm going to tear those green toads apart."
……
People's anger was transferred to the troll, while Chen Xian was secretly happy in his heart.
What a bunch of guys with strong limbs but simple minds.
The white-haired commander's face was uncertain. He looked at Chen Xian, hesitant. If it was really done by the troll, then they would have fallen into the troll's trap if they had killed Chen Xian rashly. But if they let him go, he was worried that it was Chen Xian who did it.
After all, the Wolf King had drunk the fox wine that Chen Xian had given him before.
He would rather kill than let go, the White-haired Commander has already decided to kill.
At this time, the Iron Head Commander stood up. He looked at the White Hair Commander and said, "White Hair, Brother Shi Xin also drank that pot of wine."
"He wasn't poisoned, which means it wasn't the alcohol that was the problem. It could be something else."
"Don't forget that the special poison made by the troll shaman usually delays the onset of the disease. The wolf king might have been poisoned a few days ago."
Commander Tietou's words were affirmed by the other werewolves present.
"Yes, these green-skinned toads are the most vicious. After being poisoned by them, it will take a few days or one or two months for the symptoms to show up."
"If it's a legendary troll shaman, he can control the poison to take effect within two or three days."
"Did they intentionally let the wolf king's poison take effect today in order to destroy our wolf clan's Fox Wine business?"
……
Finally, a werewolf brought up the topic and talked about what everyone was concerned about.
Fox Wine, a strong liquor, is undoubtedly the best warming item for monsters that spend most of the year in the world of ice and snow.
Whoever has this fox wine will be able to unleash the full strength of their tribe in winter.
There are frequent frictions between the trolls and the wolf tribe, and they will not let the wolf tribe get such a good winter warming item as fox wine.
Thinking of this, most of the werewolves nodded in agreement.
"It must be that the Green Toad deliberately framed us in order to destroy our Fox Wine business."
Looking at these werewolves who seemed to be making more and more sense as they talked, Chen Xian was impressed.
Who says werewolves are stupid? Aren’t they quite smart?
Reasonable suspicion, finding motive, identifying suspects.
The entire process is clearly laid out.
Seeing that the wolves had almost finished their analysis, Chen Xian stepped forward.
"Everyone, your analysis is good, but the wolf king is dead. Isn't the most urgent task now to elect a new wolf king?"
Chen Xian's words quieted down the wolves who were discussing heatedly.
They looked at each other, their immediate superiors and blind friends.
They quickly took sides and formed two factions.
