The cannibals outside the jungle planned to attack after dawn. Because the day after dawn was the birthday of the gods they believed in.

Their gods are very strange, they are two snakes devouring each other.

It is said that these two snakes are from the same mother and devour each other, thus becoming extremely powerful.

But they never expected that Liu Ji and others would take the initiative to get out.

This surprised them a little.

They have been arresting these people for a while recently, and they have failed every time. They are deeply aware of the cunning of these people.

Unexpectedly... these people would actually take the initiative to come out one day.

So the savages even thought it was a trap.

In fact, the savages are a very simple group. They will never engage in such conspiracies and tricks. They will bake when they are told and will never break their promises.

But after being in contact with Liu Ji and his group for a long time, the savages also began to think of some strategies.

They looked at Liu Ji, pointed their wooden spears at him, and said, "What do you mean?"

Unfortunately, Liu Ji couldn't understand what they said.

Liu Ji took out the prepared offerings.

The savage frowned in displeasure.

What does this mean?

Liu Ji gestured and said, "We want to make peace with you. We will live together and coexist peacefully here."

Savage, look at me. I look at you. They both say they don’t quite understand what Liu Ji wants to do.

Since you don't know, just leave it alone.

So, they swarmed up and tied up Liu Ji and others.

Liu Ji: "Holy shit."

Everyone else was also speechless.

Soon, Liu Ji and others were taken to a large square.

A lot of people have gathered in this square, including men, women, old and young, and all kinds of people.

A fire had been lit in the center of the square, and the fire was burning brightly, causing people to panic.

Liu Ji said: "Brothers, is there anything we can do?"

Lu Wan said: "Brother, I have run out of skills."

Fan Kuai said: "I just told you that you can't trust anyone named Lu. This guy knows nothing, and he killed us all in one fell swoop."

Liu Ji's face turned a little red.

He said to Fan Kuai and Lu Wan: "Actually, I heard something when I was in Xianyang City. I don't know if it will work, but I hope it will."

"It's life or death, it's now."

When Liu Ji was carried past the fire, he suddenly raised his hand and took out a small bag.

This small bag is only the size of a palm, wrapped only in leaves, and can be held in the palm of your hand.

After the leaves were thrown into the fire, there was a sudden bang and a burst of red light. Then the fire was blown away and fell on the savages, making them scream and scream.

Of course, Liu Ji and others also lost some.

But these people all have clothes, so it's not too serious.

Liu Ji struggled and fell off the stick.

After all, the rope is about to burn out.

Liu Ji stood up from the ground, and soon a group of savages surrounded him.

Liu Ji took out another leaf from his body and threw it into the fire.

There was another bang, and the fire exploded again.

The savages looked at Liu Ji in horror and did not dare to approach.

Liu Ji saw their fear and said loudly: "I am the Fire King and can control flames."

The savages all looked at Liu Ji in awe.

At this time, Lu Wan suddenly knelt down and said loudly: "Greetings to the Fire King, hello to the Fire King."

After Lu Wan knelt down, Fan Kuai also knelt down, and then others also knelt down.

Those savages were originally very afraid of flames, but now they saw these Qin people kneeling down, and they all knelt down too.

Liu Jizhi was very proud, looked at everyone, and then threw another bag into the fire as if to show off his skills.

Then... there was a bang and another explosion.

The savage was completely subdued.

Liu Ji breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand, and then, like stars and the moon, all the barbarians sent Liu Ji to the throne.

It doesn't matter if they don't understand the language. These savages all learn the language of the Qin people devoutly.

Soon, they mastered the simple vocabulary, and with the gestures of tidying up, they almost understood it.

Lu Wan said to Liu Ji: "Brother, I really admire you. You have survived from a desperate situation. I never expected that things would turn out like this."

Liu Ji smiled slightly.

Fan Kuai said curiously: "Brother, when did you learn the ability to control flames? Can you teach me?"

Liu Ji chuckled and said, "You guys just don't like studying or reading books or newspapers. Are you out of luck now?"

"When I was in Xianyang City, I once bought an old book. This old book said that at the time when the immortal was banished, gunpowder was invented using three things: saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal."

"I have had nothing to do these days, so I found these materials and did some experiments. Fortunately, the experiment was successful."

Fan Kuai said: "When did my brother conduct the experiment? Why didn't I know?"

Liu Ji sighed and said: "I don't dare to make too much noise, lest the savages notice it. I have always used very little weight."

"After those things were put into the fire, they only raised a small flame. So... you didn't feel it. But I noticed the subtle difference."

"So, I found the formula for gunpowder."

Everyone was deeply moved.

Liu Ji looked at everyone and said calmly: "From now on, I will be the Fire King here. I will lead you to conquer the world and establish immortal achievements in all things."

"And you are the ministers of cultural relics and the nobles of the future."

Someone pointed at Liu Niang and said, "What should I do with this guy?"

Liu Ji looked at him for a while and said, "This guy... should join the palace and become a eunuch."

Liu Niang looked at Liu Ji, and for some reason, there was a hint of joy in her heart...

At this time, Lu Wan said again: "Your Majesty, after all, these savages are not of the same race as us. As the saying goes, those who are not of my race must have different minds."

"Now they surrender to us, but what about the future? What will happen in the future? What will we do if they suddenly rebel?"

Liu Ji thought for a while and said: "This... is indeed a problem. In the past, we also recruited many people in Xinqin, but most of them followed Xu Fu. We must be cautious about this issue."

Everyone nodded and said, "Yes, so what should we do?"

Liu Ji thought for a while and said, "Have you ever heard of witchcraft?"

Everyone said: "Of course I have heard of it. Isn't this the custom of our Chu land?"

Liu Ji hummed and said, "Among these witchcrafts, there is one of the most powerful poisons."

"Once the voodoo technique is activated, it can control people's minds and make them never dare to rebel."

Everyone said: "Yes. Could it be that the king wants to use voodoo to control them?"

Liu Ji nodded: "Not bad."

Everyone looked at Liu Ji in shock: "How can you... your great king have such a great ability?"

Liu Ji said: "I didn't."

Everyone: "..."

Fan Kuai coughed dryly and said: "Brother, you said it was lively, but it has been a long time."

Before Liu Ji spoke, Lu Wan said unhappily: "Fan Kuai, how can you talk to the king? You should call me king, how can you call me brother?"

Fan Kuai: "..."

He looked at Lu Wan with contempt.

Liu Ji smiled slightly and said, "We are all brothers, so it doesn't matter."

He said this, but still looked at Lu Wan approvingly.

Lu Wan looked humble.
