Chapter 78 Having a Child to Pay Off Debts
[Strong host intent detected; difficulty of re-infiltration assessed as extremely high.]
The system's voice rang in Yueqing's consciousness.
"Xiao Qing, is there any way... to get inside without alerting them?" Yue Qing asked the system anxiously in her mind.
[The host is currently unable to perform another silent infiltration; the enemy's alert level has been raised to the highest level.]
"Is there any other way? For example... for example, to make them incapacitated?" A thought flashed through Yueqing's mind.
If we can temporarily disable those guards, wouldn't we have a chance?
The system remained silent for a few seconds, as if it were performing complex calculations and evaluations.
[Feasibility assessment: Medium; external agents are required.]
[The host can use points to exchange for a heavy-duty sedative. This drug is colorless and odorless, with strong diffusion, and can render the target unconscious in a short time. The duration depends on the dosage and individual resistance.]
A sleeping potion!
Yueqing's eyes lit up; this might be an opportunity!
"Exchange! Exchange immediately!" Yueqing said without hesitation.
[Exchange successful. The heavy-duty sleeping potion has been delivered to your system space. Please check. Points consumed: 100.]
[Friendly reminder: The host's current score is -620 points.]
-620 points!
Yueqing gasped in shock. Even six children wouldn't be enough for her!
But there's no time to worry about that now.
She suppressed her excitement and looked at Yin Hu and the others: "I have a way that might temporarily render them unable to resist."
Yin Hu and the others looked at Yue Qing with questioning eyes.
Yueqing did not hide anything and explained the effects of the drug, but concealed the existence of the system, only saying that it was a special potion she had previously refined.
“This sleeping potion is colorless and odorless, and it spreads very easily. As long as we can get it to spread in the underground space, it can temporarily put the guards inside to sleep,” Yueqing explained. “This way, we will have time to go in and rescue them.”
"A sleeping potion?" Silver Tiger pondered. He had never heard of such a miraculous potion, but he knew Yue Qing and knew she wasn't one to make things up.
"Even if the drug works, how do we spread it throughout the entire underground space? Besides, the imprisoned orcs will also be affected," Tiger Roar raised a new question.
“I can solve the problem of its spread,” Yueqing said. She can transform back into her squirrel form, bring the drug in, and find a suitable place to release it. “As for the imprisoned orcs… they are already very weak, so the drug may have less effect on them. Moreover, we can choose to go in after they wake up, or find the antidote.”
She paused, then continued with her plan: "This time we can't sneak in quietly. We have to make a bigger commotion to attract their attention and lure most of the guards away. Silver Tiger, Tiger Roar, you two lead a group of people to create chaos further away in the valley. The bigger the better, lure away as many as you can."
Silver Tiger and Tiger Roar exchanged a glance; this was something they excelled at.
“Then, I transformed back into my squirrel form and infiltrated again with the sleeping potion.” Yueqing looked at Tuga and the wolf leader. “Lord Tuga, wolf leader, you lead the elite squads of the lion and wolf clans into the valley with me. We will lie in ambush near the entrance of the passage. Once the commotion outside is ignited and the guards are lured away, I will go in and release the sleeping potion. Then you can rush in and rescue the rest of the people. We will cooperate with each other and meet at the entrance of the passage.”
The plan sounds feasible, but the risks remain enormous.
If the feint attack from the outside fails, or the sleeping potion doesn't take full effect, the squad that rushes in may be surrounded.
Moreover, Yueqing's re-infiltration put him in extreme danger.
"No!" Silver Tiger objected almost immediately. "It's too dangerous. You can't go in!"
“Lord Silver Tiger.” Yue Qing looked at him, her tone equally firm, “This is the only chance right now. Only I can bring the sleeping potion in, and only I can quickly find the best place to release it in that environment. I can’t watch them die!”
She knew Silver Tiger was worried about her, but now was not the time to back down.
"Lord Yueqing, Lord Yinhu is right, you..." Hu Xiao also wanted to dissuade him, but was stopped by Yueqing's gaze.
"I'm fine." Yueqing knew they were worried because she had just given birth, but the permissions the system gave her made her feel even better than usual, although she didn't know if this feeling of wellness was the price of overexertion.
"Lord Tuga, leader of the werewolf clan, are you willing to trust me? Are you willing to join me in one more attempt to conquer the Shadow Nest?"
Tuga and the wolf leader remained silent for a moment.
They looked at Yueqing's unwavering gaze, then at their clansmen who had just been pulled back from hell, and at their companions who had not yet returned.
"Alright!" Tuga was the first to speak, his voice booming, "Our Lion Clan is willing! We'll brave any danger, even mountains of knives and seas of fire, to save our people!"
“The wolf pack is willing too!” The wolf pack leader nodded. “Lord Yueqing, we trust you. Our wolf pack will protect you with our lives!”
Their determination warmed Yueqing's heart. She looked at Yinhu again, but he still kept his lips tightly pressed together, his eyes filled with complex and deep emotions.
"Lord Silver Tiger, this is the most effective method," Yue Qing said softly. "Trust me."
Silver Tiger looked at her, at the resolute light shining in her eyes, and finally slowly exhaled.
He knew he couldn't stop her; her determination was stronger than he had imagined. So he had no choice but to agree, "Okay, I'll distract the guards, but you must ensure your own safety, Yueqing."
"I will," Yueqing assured him.
The plan has been preliminarily determined.
Silver Tiger and Tiger Roar were responsible for the feint attack on the perimeter, while Tuga and the wolf clan leader led the assault team to carry out the core rescue operation with Yueqing.
The time is set for tonight; we'll take advantage of the darkness to carry out our operation again.
The following period was spent in a tense state of rest and preparation.
Yueqing then found a secluded spot and took out the bottle of heavy sleeping potion from the system space.
The glass bottle was small, and the liquid inside was pale yellow, showing no signs of anything unusual.
She carefully put away the medicine, silently praying that the operation would go smoothly.
She knew that the risks this time were much greater than the last.
But for the sake of the orcs who were still suffering, she had no other choice.
Thinking of that damned bond agreement, Yueqing couldn't help but frown again, but quickly put those thoughts aside.
Saving lives is the top priority right now.
We'll talk about other things after we've rescued the person.
Night fell again, and a tense atmosphere filled the valley.
The soldiers were ready and awaiting orders to proceed.
Yin Hu walked over to Yue Qing and handed her a piece of roasted meat: "Eat something to keep your strength up."
"Thank you." Yueqing took the grilled meat and nodded.
