Almighty Alchemist

Chapter 54: Jungle Night (Part 1)

The battle is over, and the Warcraft Hunters have achieved a complete victory.

The head of the male blood python was smashed to pieces by Harry Gunns' giant axe. It was still lucky, and before it died, it was able to hit it once. As for the female blood python, it was shot to death by Craig and the others in order to protect the child.

The way Harry Gunns and the others deal with the blood python is simple, effective, and extremely vicious, making full use of the calf-protecting nature of monsters.

It must be admitted that these monster hunters are really good at dealing with high-level monsters. They are real hunters, but if possible, Xiuyi would like to see other methods.

Huey doesn't mind the use of intrigue, but he is extremely disgusted with using all good things to kill each other. Of all the intrigues he's ever used, the one he'll never use is that of threatening the other person's family.

In his view, this approach is the most despicable and shameless, and it is an approach that completely abandons the moral bottom line.

But when Harry Gunns and the others did this, he didn't make a sound to stop them.

Level 9 blood pythons are not easy to deal with, and their combat power is even higher than that of the blazing birds. Whether it is physical attack ability or their poisonous mist, they are very powerful. If this method is not used, Harry Gunns and the others are likely to lose their manpower.

For Warcraft Hunters, that is absolutely unacceptable. They came here looking to get rich, not kill.

Moreover, monsters are not humans, and the standards for humans cannot be easily applied to monsters.

So he could only smile wryly.

At this moment, Harry Gernes and the others were cleaning the battlefield, and the rough-looking man was clutching his wound and yelling, "Hurry up and take back all the arrows. These are all enchanted arrows, one of which is 50 silver Wittes, and if two are missing, one gold Witte is missing!"

It is difficult for ordinary arrows to cause damage to the blood python. It is possible to attach fighting spirit, but the effect is limited. The enchanted arrow added with the sharp effect, with the support of fighting spirit, can penetrate the blood python's skin without hindrance.

Xiu Yi knew that this was the simplest and lowest level of enchantment, but it was this kind of enchanted arrow that he didn't pay much attention to at ordinary times, but it caused fatal damage to the blood python as high as level nine. It can be seen that in many cases, the power of a weapon is not the bigger the better, the key still depends on the person who uses it.

Leysen is taking care of his wooden giant. This big guy absorbed the blood python's full blow in the battle just now and protected everyone. The wooden giant is not a powerful puppet, with limited attack power, but it has an obvious advantage, that is, it has the ability to recover itself. Of course, the premise is that it will not be hacked to pieces.

Although a puppet like this is not practical, the price is not cheap. Xiu Yi estimated that two blood pythons may not be able to be exchanged. He wondered how Harry's squad could have such a thing.

Sure enough, Harry Gunns sighed and said, "Damn it, I'm afraid of anything. The more I fear it will go crazy, the more it will go crazy. Fortunately, the puppet was not scrapped, otherwise I can't afford it."

"Can't afford it?" Xiu Yi was a little surprised.

"We didn't buy it, we borrowed it." Harry Gunns replied. In the battle just now, the magic apprentice he hired didn't play any role. On the contrary, Xiu Yi, who joined the group temporarily, first stopped the blood python's surprise attack, and then saved himself again. Otherwise, once the blood mist sprayed on him just now, even if he didn't die, it would be very troublesome. So he immediately answered Xiu Yi's question. As for the magic apprentice, he didn't even bother to talk to him.

This is the law of the jungle, whoever is useful will be valued.

"The Dallymores?" Huey asked.

"You know?" Harry Gunns was a little surprised.

Xiu Yi shrugged: "The largest alchemy family in the empire, it seems that the Diamond Rhinoceros is also what they want?"

"Yes." Harry nodded, "The Dallymore family is researching a new golem, which I heard is needed by the empire. They need the diamond rhinoceros to extract special metals. I accepted the job, and they lent me this wooden giant. They declared that as long as we can get the diamond rhinoceros, the wooden giant is ours. It is worth 800 Gold-Witts.

"A flashy thing, its real value is not worth so much money."

"The puppet is only valuable when used in groups on the battlefield. It is useless if used alone, unless it is a troll god. At least I have never heard of any puppet that can be used alone as a fourth-level warrior."

That's the Vajra puppet you didn't touch me, Xiu Yi complained.

Harry Gernes continued: "But having said that, the puppet can still come in handy at critical times. Like just now, if the puppet didn't help us block the blood python's fiercest attack, maybe some of us would have died. This thing is not bad for warding off disasters and saving lives."

When he said this, he squinted at Udyk, and the meaning behind his words was self-evident.

Xiu Yi smiled and didn't speak again.

What interested him was that the Dallymore family's research on new golems was actually needed by the empire. In this way, it seems that the empire was forced by itself and had no choice but to turn to him for help. Although on the surface, the Lance Empire and the Frank Empire are reconciling and signing a peace agreement, but behind the scenes, everyone still has their own conspiracy.

However, Xiu Yi is not surprised by this. Anyway, the Lance Empire has given up on chasing him. They can do whatever they like, as long as they don't repeat the mistakes of Purgatory Island.

Not far away, Carmela was pulling out four little blood pythons. The four little blood pythons miraculously survived under the desperate protection of their mother, but they were also dying under the erosion of red nitric acid.

"Head, what about the four little ones?"

"Small ones are of no use to us, old rules, let them go. Don't do meaningless killings, and there's no need to make blood pythons extinct." Harry Gunns replied.

Huey originally wanted to persuade Harry Gunns to let go of the four little blood pythons, but Harry Gunns himself made the decision first, and he had to look at this burly man with new eyes.

The next step is to harvest the blood python's leather armor, venom and teeth. The leather armor of the blood python is a good enchanting material, the venom can be used to make top-level poisons, and the teeth can be used as alchemy materials for multiple purposes. These things collected from two adult blood pythons can be sold for almost 300 gold verts, which is enough for an ordinary family to live for a year, and the harvest must not be considered small. However, the price paid was quite a lot. More than 20 enchanted arrows were completely damaged and could no longer be used. Those red nitrates were also bought with money, in addition to paying an additional fee to the magic apprentice.

Forget about the first two fees, but for the latter fee, Harry Gerns and others are a little bit reluctant.

Fortunately, Udyk was also sensible, and walked over by himself: "I didn't play any role in the battle just now, and I am very ashamed. I will not participate in the distribution of the proceeds this time. Please rest assured, I will not make such a mistake again in the future."

"It doesn't matter. You will always be scared when you see blood for the first time." Udyk knew the truth, and Harry Gunns didn't want to offend him too much: "The money will still be given to you. After all, your winding thorns have played a role, but it should be slightly reduced because it was released late. Fortunately, Andrew is here."

Udyk nodded, expressing no objection.

Harry came over and put his arm around Huey's shoulder and said, "Hey, kid, you did a good job just now. I, Harry Gunns, have always been fair. If you take out the cost of enchanted arrows and red nitrate for 300 Gold Witts, there are almost 260 Gold Witts left. There are eight people here. It was agreed that Udyk would get two shares, but now he only gets one, each one eighth. You can get about forty-three Gold Witts. How about it, I didn't treat you badly."

"Thanks."

"That's good." Harry Gernes clapped his hands and shouted: "Next, we are going to deal with the Diamond Rhinoceros. The Dallymore family offered 1,500 Kingwitts for a single Diamond Rhinoceros."

"The price has increased five times, and the strength has increased ten times."

"Don't worry, we naturally have a way to deal with it."

"Still using the one just now?"

"No, no, no." Harry shook his head immediately. "Gordon rhinos are not blood pythons. They eat rocks and soil, and rarely leave their territory. It is impossible to lure young rhinos to set traps, and this kind of arrow can't do enough damage to them. We have to use other methods to deal with them."

"They?" Huey caught Harry's words very sensitively.

"Yes." Harry Gearns replied seriously: "It's them. According to the news from the Dallymore family, there is a golden rhino territory in the east, and there are about 30 golden rhinos in it. They are herd monsters."

"More than thirty golden rhinos?" Xiu Yi, who was always fearless, was also taken aback by this number.

More than 30 level 10 monsters, not to mention Harry Gerns, even Xiu Yi with all his strength and the Black Warrior can't deal with it.

"Don't worry, my friend." Harry Gunns patted Huey on the shoulder and said, "We have a way to separate them. One, I only need one."

"Take it easy, a golden rhino can support you to death."

—————————————————

At dusk, the Warcraft team came to a low-lying land. This area is relatively open, with fewer trees. There is a small lake in the distance, and some large herbivores swim nearby.

Looking from the small slope, you can see the blue sky, green water and green grass in the distance. A large number of hippogriffs are galloping on the grass, and saber-toothed tigers are lazily dozing off in the grass. A small group of howling wolves carefully walked around the territory of the saber-toothed tiger, while a large group of white-tailed apes ran to the trees in the forest in fright when they saw the hyena approaching.

A few kestrels were flying freely in the sky, and the bellbird made a nice wind chime sound.

The whole area is filled with a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. Who would have thought that this place would be a restricted area for human beings to enter and exit—a land of divine grace?

"After passing that lake, it is considered to have officially entered the area of ​​the Land of God's Grace. Don't look at the monsters here getting along well, no one knows when they will suddenly go crazy." Harry Gunns introduced to Huey.

"Where is the territory of the golden rhinoceros?"

"Cross the lake and continue eastward. After passing through a forest, you can see a cliff. The territory of the Vajra Rhinoceros is just under the cliff. From here, it takes about three days. However, we have to cross the territories of many monsters along the way. If we can get there in seven days, it is considered fast."

Xiu Yi looked into the distance: "Six flame leopards, twelve devil tigers, nine wild earth bears, five three-headed hell dogs, more than 20 raging porcupines... There are almost eight kinds of monsters from level seven to level nine, and the number is no less than fifty. The number of monsters below level seven cannot be counted. How do you plan to get to the cliff? Go over and pat the raging porcupine on the back and say, hey, buddy, we are going to hunt in the territory of the golden rhinoceros, borrow a way?"

Harry Gerns laughed loudly: "It must be admitted that this is a very creative idea, but there is no need to worry about it." He pointed to the small lake in the distance: "Let's walk from the lake."

"What if there are aquatic monsters?"

"Large aquatic monsters generally exist in the sea. Small lakes like this generally rarely have large carnivorous monsters. Even if there are, they are just some small carnivorous fish. There is no need to worry too much."

"There are also some small demon fish that are also very troublesome."

"Then we can't help it." Harry Gunns waved his hand: "This line of work is the job of adventurers. You can't rule out all the risk factors. Walking on the lake is much safer than on land. After crossing the lake, we will enter the jungle. If everything goes well, we may arrive in five days."

Huey wanted to say something, but Harry Gunns waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, young man, we have experience in doing this kind of thing. Oh, look, those guys have already made dinner, let's enjoy a delicious blood python feast together first."

The monster hunters have been hunting monsters in the jungle for many years, and they are quite experienced in survival in the wild. Everyone has some cooking skills. A previously killed blood python is the best food source. The meat of the blood python is delicate and delicious, and it is absolutely delicious when used in stewed soup. Several hunters skillfully set up the soup pot and used the magic stove to cook the soup. This kind of magic stove is most suitable for barbecue in the jungle environment, because there is no flame, it will neither ignite the jungle, nor attract large magical beasts that are happy.

Carmela filled Huey with a large bowl of snake soup: "Enjoy it, you will love it."

"Thanks."

The battlefield can be said to be the easiest place to arouse human emotions. After the battle with the blood python, everyone's opinion of Xiu Yi has improved a lot, and their feelings have also increased significantly.

"Hey, I said Boy Andrew, would you like some spirits?" the hunter named Craig called to Huey.

"Alcohol is a good thing, but it's not suitable for me. I brought wheat wine myself." Xiuyi took out the bottle from his arms.

Harry Gunns is an old alcoholic. He took a sniff and said in surprise, "It turned out to be a high-quality ale from Rose Manor."

"Take it if you like it." Huey tossed the bottle to Harry.

"You are so generous, you want 60 Silver Wittes for a bottle."

"Although drink, I still have."

Harry raised his head unceremoniously and took a big gulp, before throwing it to the others.

This is the way of life of a monster hunter, reckless, unassuming, and heroic. Even Carmela, the only woman, is quite manly.

"You can afford such wine, Andrew, why do you take the risk of being a monster hunter?" Carmela asked with blinking eyes. As the only woman in the team, her muscles ruined her beauty, but she gave off a strong and wild feeling. Xiu Yi was deeply impressed by her fierce throwing of the ring-shaped throwing knife, and he was almost sure that Carmela was the second only to Harry in the team.

"Then what about you? Why do you want to be Warcraft Hunters? Just for money?" Xiu Yi asked.

"There is still freedom." Harry replied: "Here you don't have to be looked down upon by those high-ranking nobles, and you can do what you want. I would rather deal with monsters than those noble lords. They are dirtier than monsters."

From Harry's words, Huey heard endless resentment.

"Oh, damn it, the head is coming again..." someone began to hug his head and scream.

Xiu Yi was a little confused.

Carmela explained with a smile: "Harry used to have a fiancée who was very beautiful, and later married a nobleman."

"Shut up, Carmela, it's not just that!" Harry Gunns took a sip of his drink. Then he sighed and said, "She's dead, played to death by that noble lord."

"There's no need to miss such a woman, head." Laysen shrugged his shoulders: "There are many good girls in the brothel."

"Bastard Layson, if you ever speak ill of her again, I'll tear you apart!" Harry growled loudly.

Everyone shut up immediately.

"I'm sorry to let you hear these bad things, it's really interesting, why do I think you are also a nobleman?" Harry looked at Xiu Yi with strange eyes. He could feel that there was a unique temperament in Xiu Yi, which was completely different from the wild and unrestrained nature of these monster hunters. Xiu Yi was more refined, quiet, and behaved calmly, looking like a young master from a certain big family.

"Maybe it's because I entered the jungle for the first time, and I haven't fully integrated into the atmosphere of the jungle." Huey answered Harry in his own way.

"And before that? What are you doing?"

"servant."

"A servant of the big family?"

Xiu Yi nodded: "I have worked in a big family for several years, and I met a warrior. He taught me how to cultivate and use Dou Qi. Then my servant time came and I was free. I had nowhere to go, so I chose to try my luck in the jungle."

"It must be a very big family. Even the servants who come out of the family are much more civilized than us old men."

"Yes." Xiu Yi replied, "But I prefer to be a free man and a rough man."

Everyone grinned happily at this sentence.

It was getting late, and after dinner, everyone set up their tents and went to sleep.

According to the rules, the group of eight will send two people to watch the night to guard against the invasion of large monsters at night.

Tonight is Huey's vigil, and he is in charge of the first half of the night.

Lying on a big rock, Xiu Yi quietly looked at the bright starry sky above her head, the rustling sound of the leaves when the wind blows in her ears, the sound of frogs croaking in the distance from time to time, and even the moonlight was full of softness. Xu lay in Xiu Yi's arms and fell asleep, even snoring indecently.

Ever since he came to this world, he rarely had the opportunity to lie down quietly like this, so that at this moment he suddenly discovered that this quiet and peaceful taste turned out to be quite wonderful.

So Xiu Yi sat quietly like that, until Xu who was in his arms suddenly opened his eyes: "Father, someone is here."

"There are seven to eight of them, sneaking close, they should come to kill me." Xiu Yi replied.

"what should we do?"

"Kill them all." The low tone revealed a strong sense of killing.

That... Brother Mo Nian specially asked a friend to make a new cover for me, and I actually forgot about it. I found out that I am heartless. The same is true in daily life, always neglecting many things. It happened that the best stone said this yesterday, and I just remembered it. I apologize, and please forgive me.
