Boiling Beast Bloodline-Chapter 2195 - 674: Big Guy, Big Brains (Part 3)
"Your Majesty is wise. With the ’Star of the Ocean’ Albertini taking action, we will surely bring back the technology for manufacturing aerial bombs! By the time we’ve replicated it..." The Sea Serpent Chief of Staff next to him licked his nose excitedly with his tongue: "...the main force of the war must rely on ground troops to succeed. We may not need much time to defeat our enemies. Forcing the Demon Clan out sooner at the cost of a million more lives is well worth it!"
The Mermaid Emperor waved his hand, indicating the noisy Chief of Staff should step back for now.
Clearing his throat, His Majesty Beckenbauer raised his chin and fixed a smiling gaze on the last guest standing beneath the crystal chandeliers.
This was a tall, slender man with eight arms, a pointed head like a mast, and two long flowing beards reaching the ground.
The crystal Sea God Staff in his hand and the exquisite ceremonial robe made of Good Times Seaweed signified that he was a clergyman; the elemental fluctuations radiating from his body clearly demonstrated his strength.
"I represent the High Priest’s authority, and agree to cooperate with the two Majesties." The guest nodded impassively, bowing slightly to the two Sea Emperors: "Let us Pleyne and the entire Sea Clan together illuminate the dark corners filled with false gods with the glory of Amphitrite and Neptune!"

"The reason I only handed you the plant sap is for confidentiality!" Liu Zhenhuan put his hands on his hips, spitting as he scolded a Medusa: "What is the most critical part of the charcoal-making formula? The plant sap! What if it falls into enemy hands without stringent confidentiality procedures? Coal and water are available everywhere!"
"We’re willing to source the plant sap from you, but at least you should write the formula on a piece of paper for us to keep!" Medusa retorted a bit unhappily: "This is basic collaborative sincerity!"
After arguing for a long time without reaching a result, Medusa finally issued a stern warning: "Your Excellency, if you continue to hoard it like this, I think our Bonaparte Medusa Kingdom will seek to cooperate with other human nations to manufacture charcoal, a fifty-fifty split; many human kingdoms are clamoring to partner with us!"
"For a thousand years, it was the Aegeans who drove the Beamon from Kalimdo to the Donau, even occupying Mount Hyjal. And yet you wish to collaborate with these treacherous monkeys?"
"The Holy Mountain was lost at your hands... not ours, the Bonaparte Medusa."
"Right, right! How could I forget this matter!" Liu Zhenhuan suddenly realized, nodded repeatedly, and without further ado, took out the charcoal formula, presenting it with both hands to the Medusa envoy. His straightforward and courteous attitude stood in stark contrast to his previous stubbornness, causing unease in the heart of the opponent.
"I’m sorry, but I must ask you to accompany me to the Bonaparte Continent." The Medusa envoy, with some difficulty, said: "As the King’s envoy, I have a duty to verify the authenticity and effectiveness of the formula."
Old Liu nodded in agreement, saying repeatedly that it was only right.
The Bonaparte Continent was at its peak season for travel, with the sun high and the autumn weather clear and invigorating.
On the boundless Nianta Plain, unlike the unchecked wild grass growth of the Donau Wasteland, there were only grasslands as emerald as green gems and vast primeval maple forests, their red leaves touching the sky resembling a sea of fire, capable of igniting all the passion in one’s gaze at first sight.
Beside a stream filled with colorful pebbles, the Bonaparte Medusa had dug square pits, into which carts of black coal were dumped. Numerous Hair Natives, equipped with wooden rakes, diligently spread and evened the coal in the pits before channeling stream water into them.
The envoy left Liu Zhenhuan aside while convening a brief meeting with several high-ranking leaders. Soon after, bundles of freshly harvested plants, scales, measuring cups, and pestles were brought.
There were three charcoal blend formulas, of which the simplest required only four plants: Wheat Gnome, Silk Stone Bamboo, Moon Arrow Grass, and High Snow Wheel. Following a juice ratio of one quart, two pints, three ounces, and twelve darins, these four plant juices mixed with twenty tons of water could extract the charcoal from ten tons of coal. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Furthermore, by juicing and mixing with water in fixed proportions other plants such as Three-colored Pine Leaf Chrysanthemum, Duckweed Grass, Living Stone Flower, Baocryst, Half-stem Lotus, Redtop Grass, Red Beetroot, or Earth Skin, Wild Goose Red, Cockscomb Flower, Falling Mallow Wormwood Thistle, Wild Goose River Daisy, Prairie Gentian, Ground-plum Sorrel, one could also purify the charcoal.
The Medusas spent considerable time completing the experiment, and they were evidently satisfied with the outcome. The formula list was carefully stored, and Old Liu naturally received heaps of grateful praises.

"I estimate that next, the Bonaparte Medusa, like the three major sea clans of the Demon World, will use various excuses to significantly reduce the number of aerial bombs they supply to us! Charcoal is a valuable asset, and no one would be foolish enough to give it away for free!" Upon returning to the Donau, Liu Zhenhuan immediately convened a high-level meeting at the General Assembly, reminding everyone to focus on a pressing issue—the Beamon Air Force’s poison fog bombs and charcoal aerial bombs were all mass-produced by others due to the lack of key materials.
The carpet bombing on October 21st was certainly inspiring, but the Aegean Humans would never provide aerial bombs to the Beamon with all their might twice.
