Almighty Alchemist
Chapter 52 Encounter
When she woke up in the morning, Xiu Yi felt her face was wet. When he opened his eyes, it was Xu sleeping on top of him. The little guy's sleeping posture was terrible, and his face was dripping with saliva.
"Hey, the sun is drying my butt, it's time to get up." Xiu Yi patted Xu's little butt.
"No, Dad, let me sleep for a while." Xu turned over and got into the grass next to him.
Xiu Yi came to the mountain stream and fetched water to wash her face. Even though he lived in the jungle, he still took good care of his image. At least one month of life didn't make him look like a wild man.
Looking at the stream, Xiuyi touched her chin, where a few sparse fine hairs came out.
"Have I grown a beard?" Xiu Yi was a little amused.
Is my second life finally beginning to fully mature?
The communication crystal in his arms rang, and it was Hailey: "Hey, boss, you look good."
"Okay, how are you doing?"
"What else can we do? Fighting every day means killing or being killed." Haley said in a relaxed tone.
The Dardanelles went to Warrington, and the Spirits of Vengeance went to Sidor, the Land of Chaos. Under the leadership of the Six Heavenly Kings, they quickly took root in that place where their strength was recognized.
Prisoners and hooligans fought fierce battles against the barbaric natives at the beginning. At present, the spirit of revenge has occupied a small town in Xiduo, and there are enemies everywhere around them. The complexity of the situation is far beyond the initial expectation. Fortunately, Hailey is a seasoned horse and knows how to do things in such an environment. Xiuyi advises him from a distance, and his life is safe and secure.
"Thank you for your hard work." Xiu Yi said thankfully.
"You're welcome, how have you been practicing recently?"
"The road to promotion is bumpy, but the future is bright." Xiu Yi said with a smile.
The two had a brief chat about Sido's situation, and Xiu Yi learned that everything is stable for Vengeful Spirit, it is developing steadily, and its reputation is gradually gaining ground. Since the relationship between Xiu Yi and the Lance Empire is currently at a delicate moment, Xiu Yi asked Haley to develop and stabilize the forces in Xiduo for the time being, and not rush to the Lance Empire for the time being.
"Hopefully, the change in your relationship with the Lance Empire won't put us out of a job. Everyone is counting on you for their salary."
"Learn to be self-reliant, Haley, and you're not going to get anything out of me."
"What a mean boss."
"The stingy boss will squeeze your blood and sweat. I'm generous enough. Don't worry, you will never lose your job. I find that there are more and more things worth exploring in this world. Even if we don't fight the Lance Empire anymore, there are still countless things to do in the future."
"Good luck, then."
"Good luck to us all."
After interrupting the call, Xiu Yi contacted Nancy in the valley again: "How is the situation in the laboratory?"
"The alchemy factory sent a large number of original parts. I was a bit overwhelmed. Fortunately, Lilith came to help me. This little bastard Paddy is always making trouble. He misses you very much."
"I'm sorry Nancy, the existence of the Valley Laboratory is very important to me. I can't take the risk of bringing someone I don't trust to be your assistant. You can only work hard during this time." Xiuyi apologized deeply.
"It's okay, you can always handle it. You are practicing alone in the jungle, so pay more attention to safety and don't be too aggressive."
"I will."
"By the way, there is good news. I have made all the materials that Royue City borrowed on credit into alchemy products according to your instructions. As long as these goods are sent out, then we will no longer owe them any debts."
"Arrears are not bad news, Nancy. If you want others to serve you, it is more effective to owe him money than to lend him money. Now that you can pay off the debt, you can borrow another sum. You can contact Christine and ask her to borrow another batch of materials. The Dardanelle family wants to become the largest debtor in Winnington, and if they owe enough money, the status of the Dardanelle family in Warrington will be greatly improved. No one will dare not listen to the family's words."
"You're such a bad boy, Huey, well I'll do it right away."
Xiu Yi also smiled: "I really don't know what to do without you, Nancy, you are my biggest pillar, but you are unknown."
"Save that for young girls." Nancy ended the call with a smile.
Then Huey contacted Buckler: "Brian, how is your situation?"
"Everything is going well, Operation Gecko has started the first step."
"very good."
"Hui..."
"What's up?"
"I don't understand why you are so eager to launch Operation Gecko. Isn't the situation improving? The Lance Empire will no longer be against us. As a backup plan, I think it should not be useful."
"Raschel taught me what it means to be someone else, and my experience tells me that things are never smooth sailing."
"It doesn't sound like you're expecting anything."
"It's better to have a retreat than no retreat. You are the only people I care about. I don't want you to have problems. It's time to make a break and give everyone an explanation."
"Did Raschel force you to do this? Because he discovered your identity?"
"...Yes. So Operation Gecko is no longer a backup plan, but a necessary plan. It is a plan to enable the Dardanelles to achieve better development."
"Then why do you have to do it while you're practicing, it's too dangerous."
"It can be more justified, not to mention that it can indeed bring me some benefits."
"...Well, anyway, the plan has already started, and it's too late to regret it now. By the way, will you go back to Winnington?"
"Of course, at least I have to go back again. This is just the process, and that is the result. As for the future...it depends on the situation." Xiuyi smiled.
"Then...good luck."
Communication lost.
Xiu Yi suddenly had a feeling that he felt like a company boss living in the 21st century, commanding the responsible persons in various places through remote control. The communication crystal is like a wireless phone, and the effect it brings is remarkable and obvious, so that he can know the situation in various places even in the noisy city far away.
The fly in the ointment is that the communication crystal can only talk to one person at a time. It would be great if a communication crystal with multi-party communication capabilities can be made, so that conference calls can be held. Xiu Yi can even travel far and wide alone, and continue to direct his own career.
As soon as this idea appeared, it lingered in Xiu Yi's mind. Since leaving Lianhe Island, he has been learning new alchemy techniques, improving various spells and grudge abilities, and has hardly used any effort in researching and inventing new alchemy techniques. In fairness, the strongest aspect of Xiuyi's alchemy attainments is the space aspect, and the others are actually learned from the predecessors. Communication crystals no longer have the ability to make multi-party calls, but that doesn't mean they won't have them in the future. If you do your own research...
Xiu Yi shook her head, suppressing this tempting thought. My current top priority is to raise my warrior level first, and strive to become a high-level warrior in the shortest possible time. I really don't have the energy to be distracted. After you become a high-level warrior, you can consider taking some time to study it.
It was already dawn, and the red fox walked over consciously. It now fights with Xiu Yi several times a day, and gradually gets used to Xiu Yi's approach. It seemed that this young man only wanted to fight, not kill himself, so his fear of Xiu Yi gradually decreased. What's interesting is that it became friends with Xu Dao. A puppy transformed from a magic dragon and a little blood fox often make out with each other. Although it is said that Long is promiscuous, considering Xu's age, they should still be in a state of pure friendship.
"Come on." Xiu Yi hooked his fingers at the red fox.
The red fox began to transform, and a fierce battle started again.
When the battle was at its most intense, Xiu Yi's heavy punches hit the blood fox again and again. The blood fox hissed and roared in pain, and finally let out an unstoppable wail. Xiu Yi finally stopped attacking, checked her body, and noticed that the battle energy consumption had reached 80%, and the blood fox could no longer force out all her strength. He looked at the blood fox with a smile: "It seems that you can't bring me much help."
Progress in battle is undoubtedly the greatest specialty of human beings, which is an ability that Warcraft do not possess.
The blood fox prostrated itself on the ground, whining sadly.
"Okay, don't look innocent, you will be free from today, I'm going to go deeper and see if I can find a more suitable opponent."
Xiu Yi waved to the little fox.
Just as he was about to leave, a human voice suddenly came from not far away.
"Over there, I heard the cry of the red fox."
As the voice shouted, several figures appeared at the end of the jungle.
The leading one was a burly man with a huge axe on his back, wearing brown leather armor and a copper nail belt around his waist. Most of the people who appeared behind him were dressed similarly to him, and there was even a woman among them. The weapons they hold are mostly heavy weapons, which are most suitable for dealing with monsters. Some held special lassoes and even special animal traps. Judging from these equipments, the few people who appeared suddenly looked like professional monster mercenaries who lived exclusively by catching monsters to provide various resources and materials. They are also called poachers.
Seeing Xiu Yi over there, several people who suddenly appeared were taken aback.
"Head, there is a red fox." A man with a machete in his hand said to the leader of the big man with a giant axe.
"I can see it, but it's a pity that someone attacked first." The giant axe replied angrily. The situation is obvious, this red fox has already been defeated, this should be the masterpiece of that boy.
Someone looked greedily at the red fox on the ground: "Head, a piece of red fox fur is worth two hundred gold vets, do you think we want..."
In the wilderness and jungle, the easiest thing to encounter is to rob houses. It is not uncommon for poachers to play cameos as robbers.
Although the young man can defeat a red fox, judging from the extent to which the young man is sweating and panting, that is already his limit.
"That kid has the strength of a fifth-level warrior." The guy who gave the suggestion had poisonous eyes, and he could see Xiu Yi's grudge energy at a glance: "But I just fought with the red fox, I am afraid that any second-level warrior can knock him down."
The big man with a giant ax in the lead squinted at Xiu Yi.
The boy didn't rush, didn't speak, just looked at them coldly.
Although he couldn't hear the other party's words, he could guess what these people were thinking. Obviously, his current situation was not suitable for continuing to fight, and someone wanted to take advantage of the opportunity.
There were a total of seven people who came, the leader should be a sixth-level warrior, and it seemed that he was about to break through to the seventh level. As for the other people, the lowest level is also five, no wonder they dare to run to the edge of the land of divine grace. Six of the seven were warriors, and there was a young man in gray mage robes who appeared to be an apprentice to magic.
Poachers are a lowly group in the social class, and formal magicians do not join them, nor do high-ranking warriors. From this point of view, the strength of the team of poachers in front of them should be considered pretty good. Xiu Yi thought to herself that with her own strength alone, she would never be a match for these seven people, let alone that her battle qi was exhausted and her strength was greatly reduced. No wonder someone on the other side was jealous and wanted to take the opportunity to attack.
Xiu Yi was not in a hurry, he wanted to see what choice his opponent would make.
The leading man thought for a while, and then yelled at Xiu Yi: "Hey, don't be nervous, we were passing by and happened to meet. You are also here to hunt monsters, right? Life is not easy these days."
Huey nodded slightly. Ordinary people dare not enter places like the Land of Divine Favor, and those with status do not need to come in and take risks. Only middle-level warriors like them who have not been able to become high-level warriors and cannot enjoy the preferential treatment of the empire are considered a good place to make a fortune.
"It looks like you got a red fox." The big man in charge looked at the little fox on the ground with undisguised envy, and then he shook his head: "You have to be lucky, you met me, Harry Gunns, I won't snatch your spoils."
"Then...thank you very much." Huey replied.
Harry Gunns and several of his men walked towards Huey.
Xiu Yi frowned: "Please don't get too close to me."
Harry stopped in embarrassment. He touched the back of his head: "Hey, you don't believe me? We are monster hunters, not robbers. I just want to chat with you. Do you know where there are blood pythons around here?"
"Are you looking for a blood python?"
"Yes, the blood python's teeth, scales and venom are very popular among alchemists and can be sold for a good price. They like to live in places with water, so we came here."
"Following down this mountain stream, there is a blood python nest 400 meters away. There are two large blood pythons in it, with strength level nine, and four small blood pythons, which are not harmful."
"have you seen?"
Xiu Yi nodded. He has lived here for more than ten days, and he has already known what monsters are nearby.
"I can't beat the blood python, so I didn't provoke them. You know that most monsters have their own fixed activity areas. As long as they don't enter their territory, they will not actively provoke humans."
"That's right." Harry Gunns nodded: "So, you are also here to hunt monsters?"
"Probably." Xiu Yi thought for a while, nodded and said. Pretending to be a Warcraft Hunter can save a lot of tongue.
"Then congratulations, this red fox alone can make you rich."
"Thank you." Huey replied politely.
Hearing this tone, Harry Gunns really didn't intend to rob Xiuyi.
A Warcraft hunter got a little anxious, and leaned over to Harry Gunns and said softly, "Hey, boss, are you really going to leave like this? That's two hundred Kingwitts, enough for the brothers to go to the brothel to have fun for a long time."
"Shut up, Layson, I, Harry Gunns, haven't fallen to the point where I even want to rob children." Harry Gunns unceremoniously taught the bastards around him.
Then he turned to Huey and said, "Don't mind me, my buddies are pretty poor and crazy. The truth is I'm not a nice guy, and we do some unethical things from time to time. But you're lucky today, I don't want to do that."
"Why?" Xiu Yi was a little curious.
"Don't rob children, don't rob women, that's the principle, kid." Harry Gunns replied angrily.
"I like people with principles." Xiuyi laughed, and he took a few steps back.
It seemed that he was going to put away the red fox on the ground, but at that moment, the red fox that was supposed to be dead suddenly stood up and entered the jungle like an arrow, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
The monster hunters who thought that Xiu Yi had already killed it shouted at the same time when they saw the red fox running away.
"Damn it, that red fox is alive!" Someone yelled angrily.
"You little idiot!" The others also cursed angrily.
It seemed that it was not Xiu Yi who lost the red fox at this moment, but this group of monster hunters.
Harry Gunns also froze for a moment, he looked at Xiu Yi in disbelief: "You didn't kill it?"
"Actually... I thought I killed it," Huey replied.
"It must be your first time working as a monster hunter." Harry Gunns sighed, "The red fox is a cunning monster that is very good at playing dead. It's a pity, it's a pity that it's a good skin worth two hundred gold verts."
"It turns out that this is the case. It is indeed my first time to come to this jungle." Xiuyi confirmed the other party's mistake with a truthful sentence.
"You're lucky. It's not easy for a person to come here and survive till now. What's your name?"
"Andrew... Jebsak." Huey replied.
"Okay, since that's the case, I'll call you Andrew. I said boy Andrew, you're here alone anyway, are you interested in hanging out with me?" Harry Gunns said suddenly.
"Fucking with you?" Xiu Yi was a little surprised.
"That's right. As a fifth-level warrior, I came to the edge of this land of divine grace alone, and I'm still an inexperienced rookie. I must say that you are really lucky. But luck will not always favor you. Fortunately, you met me. I, Harry Guns, can be regarded as an old expert in this area. I think you can defeat a red fox by yourself, and your skills are not bad. You can follow us, and everyone can catch monsters together, so the safety will be greatly improved."
"To catch the blood python?" Xiu Yi asked.
"Of course it's not just blood pythons." Harry Gunns laughed loudly: "We're going to catch level ten monsters."
Catch a tenth-level monster? A tenth-level monster is stronger than an earth warrior, and the jungle environment allows these monsters to exert their maximum strength. This group of people in front of them doesn't even have a high-level warrior, and they want to catch a tenth-level monster. Isn't it too fanciful?
The ninth-level blood python can still be dealt with by relying on its large number of people, and the tenth-level monsters, just relying on these few, I am afraid it is not enough for the opponent to serve.
Huey was speechless.
"Hey, kid, are you scared?" Someone on the other side laughed wildly.
"Yes, I was indeed scared by you." Xiuyi admitted honestly. He didn't say that he wasn't frightened by the tenth-level monsters, but by the arrogance of these people.
"Don't worry, boy, since we dare to come, we are sure. If you are willing to join us, we will give you a share when we catch the Diamond Rhinoceros, but how much will be decided according to your performance, and I will have the final say along the way."
Diamond Rhinoceros? It turned out that what they were going to deal with turned out to be the Diamond Rhinoceros.
Excitement burst into Xiu Yi's eyes.
"Okay, I'll join you," he said.
