After consumption, the person gradually weakens and fully loses their combat capability within a few minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This poison, while not potent, doesn’t have much effect on heroes or those with Poison Resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it’s deadly enough for regular soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, lords who had crossed over here were fond of buying Jack-o’-lantern for a long time,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They mixed the flesh of Jack-o’-lantern into the food of the wild beasts to clear off the beasts and monsters around their territories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would’ve thought that today their own group had ended up like the targeted beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked again at the cold tea in his hand, which gave off a cool feeling and emitted a light fragrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still holding her hand, Rebecca’s expression instantly turned serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s going on?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This tea has been mixed with Jack-o’-lantern, it causes loss of mobility after consumption.” Fang Hao spoke in a deep tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebecca instantly looked grave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She remembered vividly the incident with the Life-taker last time, now it’s happening again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s going on this year? They keep running into such incidents on the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry, it hasn’t reached the worst point yet.” Fang Hao continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, he cracked the window a bit and peered outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything seemed normal at the tea stall. A few plainly dressed villagers with anxious looks were preparing cold tea for the soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though they looked like villagers, they had pretty high ranks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Human Warrior (Eighth Rank)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Human Archer (Sixth Rank)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[….]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such high ranks, they could be the leader of bandits in the mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, within the range of Silver Wing City, they should be mercenaries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the tea stall, some soldiers started to pour out all the water from their water bottles, planning to replace it all with this cold tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Hao took another look around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The roads on both sides were flat, with no hiding places for an ambush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The poison from the Jack-o’-lantern acts slowly, it will start to take effect gradually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place should only be where the poison was laced, the real attack would come later when the poison starts to affect everyone in the team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gently tapped on the round hip of Rebecca and asked her to sit aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He called Demitrija and Aseti over through a window opening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two men bent down and came to the window, listening to Fang Hao’s instructions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both nodded their heads and split, heading toward the front and the rear of the team respectively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Demitrija could be seen taking some soldiers and approaching the tea stall, taking control of the villagers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sudden action caught them off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were directly pinned to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then came a clanging noise. The tea stall was violently searched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few weapons were found and thrown in front of the villagers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They explained in low voices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Demitrija returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spoke softly, “Sir, we’ve found out that they’re mercenaries. Someone hired them to run this stall here and sell tea to the passersby.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who hired them, did you find out?” Fang Hao continued asking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They said they didn’t know, they met them when they were drinking at a tavern, they might be able to recognize them by sight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Hao’s brow furrowed. He felt that these men were not telling the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They didn’t tell the truth, did they?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s hard to say. But judging by the situation, they wouldn’t hide it if they knew.” Demitrija continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no way to detect lies in the team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Thorn could interrogate corpses, but it was currently back at their territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, have those who drank the tea take Detox Potions, take a rest, then we continue to leave.” Fang Hao ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demitrija nodded and asked softly, “Sir, should we keep these tea sellers with us?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kill them all, bury the corpses. It would be harder to explain if we keep them and bump into patrolling soldiers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demitrija left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, cries of begging for mercy came from nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, heads were rolling. The corpses were dragged off into the distance and buried in dug pits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The team then took a short rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who had drunk the tea took the detox potion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The accompanying mercenaries, holding the potion, hesitated to drink it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though it was distributed to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But such a cheap serving of cold tea led to wasting a whole bottle of detox potion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had no choice as they were greedy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a short break, the team set off again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before leaving, they smashed the large water tanks filled with cold tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To prevent it from causing harm to others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The team continued to march towards Silver Wing City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the possibility of enemies being ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More scouts were arranged to pace the road ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Hao and Rebecca did not continue their intimacy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They changed their carriage, to avoid being attacked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps the enemies, seeing no effects from the Jack-o’-lantern, did not surface till they reached a village to camp, no enemies were seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the rooms were allocated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Hao returned from outside, and as soon as he entered the room, he saw Anjia and Lorrey playing a game of Go on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey! That’s not right, this move is wrong.” Lorrey touched the piece he had just placed, wanting to take it back.\u003C\u002Fp>",1025,"2026-05-30T09:05:51.865Z","2026-06-01T04:30:50.407Z",1,"novelbin.me","865468416bbafc23edd801f3cc9482a31678da49ec84ed96c6ed5d17ce1bcb18","global-lords-hundredfold-increments-starting-wit-chapter-674","global-lords-hundredfold-increments-starting-wit-chapter-672",1483,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-lords-hundredfold-increments-starting-wit-cover.jpg"]
