Almighty Alchemist
Chapter 67: Abandoned Land
When the figure of the boy stood in front of Harry Gunns and the others again, the eyes looking at him were filled with awe.
That was the last thing Xiuyi wanted to see.
"If possible, I would prefer to tell you my identity in another way, but now I don't need to explain anything," he said.
Harry Gunns shrugged: "You saved our lives."
"Not everyone's." Xiu Yi felt a little emotional.
"You have tried your best, we can all understand." Harry Gunns sighed a little. Originally, they wanted to make a fortune by hunting the golden rhinoceros, but the group suffered heavy losses. In the end, four of the eight people remained. It was luck to be alive.
He wasn't worried that Xiu Yi would kill them to silence them. If that was the case, Xiu Yi only had to choose to do nothing. But he still said curiously: "In the propaganda of the empire, you are a bastard who does all kinds of evil."
"To them, that's not too much publicity. Just like in the eyes of King Kong Rhinoceros, you are also bastards." Xiuyi's answer stunned everyone.
Is not it? For the golden rhinoceros, they lived carefree on this land, but the appearance of human beings has greatly reduced their living space. Even so, humans will not give up hunting, using, and ignoring their pain.
For most monsters, human beings are heinous demons.
It's a pity that they don't know how to unite, cooperate and create, otherwise maybe the monsters would have kicked humans out of this world long ago.
Udyk came over: "Thank you, Ann... I think I should call you Hugh Iglell. So what's next?"
In the current situation, Harry Gunns is seriously injured, and Huey has become a well-deserved leader, but obviously he has no interest in leading a Warcraft team.
Xiu Yi replied: "This place is a bit strange. The strength of the Golden Rhinoceros seems to be affected by some kind of force. My pet... oh, it's back."
In the jungle, Xu came to Xiu Yi's listlessly. He had transformed into a little boy and slipped into Xiu Yi's arms: "Father, I'm ashamed, I also disgraced my mother, I even disgraced our abyssal dragon clan."
"It's a good thing for you to know that racial superiority is not the only asset you can rely on."
"I will work hard to practice."
"It's okay, you are still a child, it's your nature to eat and play."
"It doesn't sound like consolation at all." Xu pouted.
This scene made Harry and others even more surprised, pointing at the little guy: "It's..."
"He is the magic dragon just now." Xiu Yi replied.
"It calls your father?" Carmela couldn't believe it.
This made Xiu Yi very helpless: "His mother and I are innocent... Forget it, we don't explain this. This matter is still a secret to the empire. The power I exposed, the empire only knows about the black warrior and the blazing bird. I don't want to hear about Xu being a magic dragon in the future... This is not a request."
"We understand, please rest assured that we will not tell what happened to you." Harry Gunns replied immediately.
Xiu Yi's previous words were undoubtedly reminding them that if this matter was leaked out, they would become Xiu Yi's enemies.
And Xiu Yi's attitude towards the enemy is the same as the rumors of the empire: do all kinds of evil.
The hunting plan of the Warcraft team had already failed. Xiu Yi had learned enough from this team, and his identity had been revealed, so there was really no need to stay any longer.
Nodding to the black warrior, the black warrior whistled, and the figure of the undead monster mouse emerged from the ground.
"Carmela, you and Harry are sitting on the demon mouse, Udyk, you can only run. I will give Harry the temporary command of the demon mouse, and it should help you leave the land of grace."
"What about you, Xiuyi?" Carmela asked with a pale face. She had lost a lot of blood, and it was already amazing that she could still speak up.
Xiu Yi looked back at the direction where the dragon rhino disappeared and said: "This place is a bit strange, I'm going to investigate and see what caused all this to happen. Maybe that golden rhinoceros can help me find the answer."
Harry Gearns said: "I know we are too weak to be of much help, but tracking a big rhino, Hugh Igles, I'm an expert."
Xiu Yi was slightly stunned: "But you were seriously injured."
"I can't die." Carmela replied coldly: "I also want to know what made us suffer such a fate."
Xiuyi looked at Udyk again. This young man who was about his age said quietly, "You all go, and I will go too. As long as you don't think I'm a burden."
"No." Xiu Yi shook her head: "The courage you showed just now is very admirable."
He was referring to the fact that Udyk didn't want to leave him alone to escape.
Udyk smiled a little embarrassedly.
"In this case, let's follow that golden rhinoceros and see what's weird in this canyon."
———————————————
The place where the King Kong Rhino walked was like the road where a tank had passed, and the traces were clearly visible. Even without Harry Gunns leading the way, Xiuyi could still find the footprints of this big guy. In fact, the speed of the golden rhinoceros is not fast. When it is not fighting, its walking speed can even be described as a turtle's speed.
The dying King Kong rhinoceros did not choose to go back to the former community, it went directly along a road deep in the canyon.
The road is very remote, extending to the outside of the canyon, and passing through the territories of many monsters one after another. Everyone carefully walked through the area where these monsters were located, followed the Vajra Rhino to a mountain wall, and then lost the Vajra Rhino.
"Strange, its footprints disappeared when it got here?" Harry Gunns observed the ground and said, "There must be a secret passage nearby."
Xiu Yi frowned: "It's not that simple, I can feel the breath of magic. There is a magic circle operating nearby."
"Magic circle?" Harry and Carmela were taken aback.
On the contrary, Udyk nodded affirmatively: "Yes, I also felt it, but the power of this magic is weird, and I can't be sure about it."
Xiu Yi glanced at Udyk in surprise. With Udyk's ability, there is no reason why he could feel the existence of this power.
Perhaps aware of Xiu Yi's doubts, Udyk blushed a little and replied: "My elemental affinity is average, but my sensing ability is not bad, of course I can't compare with yours."
"You are not self-effacing. Strength and talent are not the same concept. What do you mean, you have a strong perception of magic?"
"That's right."
"Then why don't you become a prophet or an alchemist?" Xiu Yi was a little surprised.
There are also many types of magic talents. Battle-type magicians have the highest requirements for elemental affinity, and some non-combat magicians need better element manipulation. As for those with strong element perception ability, the most suitable ones to learn are prophecy spells. Prophecy spells are very demanding on the induction of magic, because they don't need to manipulate and use magic, but only need to sense the events that have happened from the surrounding elements. And there are some elements that have a strong alertness to what may happen in the future, and once they can sense it, they will form a prophecy. In addition, the elemental sensing ability is also very helpful for alchemy. After all, alchemists use items to create magic props. The elemental sensing ability can help them quickly judge the characteristics of materials, so that they can play a better role.
Regarding Huey's question, Udyk smiled helplessly: "Not everyone's talent can be used in the right way. My background is not good. I was lucky to be taught by a natural mage. Being able to learn magic is already a great event in my family. My tutor is not a very capable person, but the fees are cheaper than others. Even so, tuition is still the biggest burden on the family. I have no choice. What's more, low-level divination is almost worthless, and I urgently need to earn it as soon as possible. Money to repay my parents. As for alchemy...you know that requires more money to support it, I can't even think about it."
"That's why you're with Harry and the others? You need money, a lot of money."
Udyk bowed his head without answering.
To become a magician, one must not only have talent, but also have strong financial support. Magicians are not synonymous with generosity. Their abilities can only be learned by students who have to pay a sufficient price.
Whether it was the Arcane Tower or the Academy of Magic, they cared more about the interests of magicians than apprentices. As for Hugh Igleser, it must be said that he is lucky. When he was on Purgatory Island back then, he accepted the teachings of the red-robed archmage Cross and led him into the mysterious magic palace, but he didn't charge him a dime for it.
"If you want, I can teach you in the future, including the alchemy you want to learn." Xiuyi said suddenly.
"You... what did you say?" Udyk couldn't believe his ears, Hugh Iglesel was going to teach him magic? It's just amazing.
"I'm afraid you don't dare to learn." Xiu Yi said with a smile.
"I have nothing to dare. My parents have already put in too much effort for me, and I don't want to drag them down anymore. I studied with my mentor for three years, but he only taught me a few spells. If this continues, maybe becoming a junior mage is already my limit. In his words, the money I pay is only enough to learn these contents... This bastard is like a businessman who sells the cheapest spells wholesale to a large number of people, and then gives them the title of magic apprentice. It is too difficult to become an official magician next time."
"It turned out to be like this...then you have to think carefully, if you choose to follow me, the consequence is that you probably won't be able to return to your parents, otherwise you will drag them down...I have many enemies, and they are all very powerful."
"...So, can I sneak a look at them?" Udyk asked. When he heard that he was leaving his parents, Udyk was a little bit reluctant.
Xiu Yi nodded with satisfaction: "Of course, you can choose a pseudonym to follow me, and you can visit your parents occasionally. You can even return to your parents with honor one day in the future."
"You don't limit my freedom?"
"As long as you don't say or do anything that hurts me, you are free."
"I know what to do and what not to do," Udyk replied confidently.
He bowed solemnly to Xiu Yi: "Udyk salutes you, mentor."
Xiuyi accepted this title unceremoniously. Although he was about the same age as Udyk, psychologically, he was already an adult.
In the battle with the violent dragon rhinoceros, Xiuyi saw some good qualities in Udyk. Although he is still a little timid, it is very normal for a young man who has never experienced blood to be afraid of danger. This magic apprentice has a strong sense of elemental sensing, even similar to Xiu Yi, who is a fourth-level wind mage. If he is trained well, he may become an outstanding talent in the future.
"Then tell me now, which direction is the magical aura around here?" Xiuyi asked her new student.
"Over there." Udyk pointed to the cliff ahead.
Looks like there's no way out there.
"That's right." Xiu Yi replied with a smile, and a handful of gold powder appeared in his hand: "This is enchanting powder, which has a strong affinity for magic energy. They can be used to find magic circles that are invisible to the naked eye."
With that said, Xiu Yi spilled the enchanting powder.
Amidst the golden light, a strange magic circle pattern appeared on the opposite mountain wall.
Xiu Yi walked over and observed carefully for a while before confirming: "This is a very ancient magic circle, I have never seen it before."
"How old?"
"At least a thousand years." Xiu Yi replied with a positive attitude: "Because it has almost stopped functioning, the reason why it has not completely dissipated is because this magic circle is supported by some kind of energy. This energy is not here, but it is transmitted to this area through it, causing a powerful magical energy to appear in this area. This energy affects Xu's transformation, and also allows the diamond rhinoceros to control the awakening of the bloodline. But maintaining such a long time requires not only energy, but also materials that can withstand the test of a long time. Look at this, the eyes of the polar ice wolf are only extremely It takes a long time for an ice bead to weather into such a state that it has almost lost its usefulness, and it is very difficult to recognize it."
"But the history of human alchemy is only about a thousand years." Harry said in shock.
"It's the history of alchemy, not the history of magic substitution. Maybe someone discovered and invented alchemy thousands of years ago, but they don't necessarily call it that, and they don't have the interest to spread and develop it." Xiu Yi said lightly: "...Maybe they know that the consequences of doing so will be a big competition for world resources."
"What is the relationship between this magic circle and the disappearance of that golden rhinoceros?"
"It has a lot to do with it..." Xiu Yi said slowly: "Although I have never seen this magic circle, it does not prevent me from knowing what it is. It seems that when a person grows up, his appearance will change, but he still retains some childhood outlines. It's really interesting. When I look at it, it's like seeing an old friend. If I guess right, then... this should be a teleportation circle."
—————————
No matter how things change, the core will not change.
It's as if both China and the United States manufacture atomic bombs. Although the manufacturing processes are different, they both use the principle of nuclear fission for research and manufacture.
If a Chinese atomic bomb is placed in front of the eyes of an American scientist, there is absolutely no reason why he cannot recognize what it is.
The only person in Fengming Continent who can make teleportation circles is Xiu Yiglier, but that doesn't mean no one did it before.
It's just that Xiu Yi didn't expect that he would find such a teleportation circle in front of the valley cliff.
It's so old, it's amazing that it still works, and despite its inefficiencies, it still exists and works tenaciously.
After a careful inspection, Xiu Yi concluded: "This is a short-range magic circle. Its function is not to send people thousands of miles away, but to..."
"Sent somewhere without a door," interrupted Harry Gunns.
Huey laughed.
Yes, it must be so.
"I don't know what we will face after entering. It may be terrible danger, or there may be endless treasures. Although we hope it is the latter, we cannot deny that the former is more likely. I have decided to go on this journey. As for you, you can make your own decisions. But I cannot guarantee that I can protect you after entering."
Harry Gunns raised his lion-like head: "Danger is never something that a monster hunter will avoid, but poverty is."
Carmela didn't say anything, but expressed her determination with firm eyes.
As for Udic, he lowered his head and said, "It is the duty of every student to follow in the footsteps of the mentor."
No more nonsense, Xiu Yi activated the magic circle.
———————————————
This is a desolate and desolate plain, the purple-black land is almost barren of grass, and there are dense bones everywhere, piled up like a mountain. Looking around, the whole plain is like a world of bones, full of the desolation of death.
Not a single living creature in sight.
The gray sky didn't even have sunlight.
Xiu Yi and the others were standing on top of a large pile of white bones. These bones looked like the skulls of some kind of rodent, piled up into a hill, and looked hideous and terrifying.
Harry Gunns accidentally landed a little harder, and kicked a skull down, triggering a chain reaction, crashing, crashing, the bone mountain collapsed, and everyone rolled down from the bone mountain together.
"My God! Where have we come?" Harry Gunns exclaimed.
He crawled out from the pile of bones angrily, with a skull on his head, as if wearing a bone helmet.
They never dreamed that they would come to such a ghostly world. The difference between reality and dream is often so far away.
Udyk couldn't help but ask, "Is this hell?"
"No, it's the cemetery, a cemetery belonging to monsters. Damn it, I should have thought of it earlier. Where will a dying diamond rhino end up? It's the cemetery!" Xiu Yi gritted his teeth slightly.
"It's impossible for a monster to make a magic circle." Carmela reminded Xiuyi.
"I know that this place should have been accidentally discovered by the monsters in the Land of Divine Favor, and they chose it as their final destination. Only monsters that are about to die will enter here..." Xiuyi shook his head and said.
"So where was this place before?" Carmela asked.
"That's exactly what we need to know."
With that said, Xiu Yi got out of the pile of bones and stood on this wild land.
He bent down and grabbed a handful of dirt on the ground. The purple-black soil exuded a strange light in Xiu Yi's palm, which deeply attracted Xiu Yi's attention.
He leaned forward to smell the smell of the soil, frowned slightly, and then he made a move that shocked everyone - he stuck out his tongue and licked the soil, feeling the taste of the soil carefully.
Harry almost vomited: "Oh, Hugh Igles, I didn't expect you to have such a perverted hobby, but there are countless dead bodies buried here!"
Huey ignored Harry's complaints. He closed his eyes as if immersed in the "delicacy" of the soil. After tasting the taste for a while, he spit out and said, "Udyk, come and taste."
"Me?" Udyk asked palely.
Xiu Yi nodded seriously: "In order to become an excellent alchemist, the talent of elemental sensing alone is not enough. Exuberant thirst for knowledge and curiosity are indispensable and important qualities, and the great spirit of sacrifice determines the size of your future achievements. If you cannot make enough sacrifices for the career you desire, then your achievements are doomed to be limited."
"Yes, mentor!" Udyk immediately became serious.
He knew this was his chance, and he would not give up no matter what.
Walking forward quickly, he grabbed a handful of purple-black soil from Xiu Yi's hand, put it in his mouth and tasted it carefully, and then showed a strange look on his face.
"What do you feel?" Huey asked him.
"Magic!" Udyk replied quickly: "This land has a powerful magical aura, and it is a very powerful one. Its power makes the soil rich in a lot of metal components, so except for some metal-loving plants, no other plants can grow at all."
"What kind of magic can cause such a situation?" Xiu Yi continued to ask.
Udyk shook his head blankly.
Xiu Yi pointed to the surrounding open land: "I don't know what kind of magic can cause such consequences, at least I have never heard of it, but I know that the area covered by this magic is even wider than our field of vision, and the power it possesses is far beyond what humans can possess."
"My God!" This is what Harry Gunns said most today.
Only then did he realize the meaning of Xiu Yi's words.
What kind of powerful force is needed to turn such a vast land into such a result is really unimaginable.
"This...is a cursed land, and it's also an abandoned land." Xiu Yi let out such a long sigh.
A piece of abandoned land, everyone is shocked.
"I've never heard of such a place in the Fengming Continent." Harry Gunns replied solemnly.
Xiu Yi was expressionless: "I have never heard of it, and this is the crux of the problem. Why has no one discovered such a vast area?"
"Maybe it's not in our world," Udyk blurted out. This sentence made Harry and Carmela Qiqi change color. If this is the case, then even if Xiu Yiglaer is there, even if he can make a teleportation circle, I am afraid that they will not be able to return to the original world.
To travel through different planes, what is needed is the door of space, which is not a matter of the level of making a teleportation circle.
Fortunately, Huey quickly denied this: "No, I'm sure we're still in our world and haven't gone anywhere else."
"How do you know?" Carmela asked.
"Because we were sent in by the teleportation circle." Xiuyi's answer left everyone speechless.
That's right, since it can be teleported in with the teleportation circle, it means that this place can only be the same plane world, and it cannot be a place like the devil world or the abyss. But if this is the case, why has no one been able to find this place?
This place is so big that it cannot be hidden by a place of divine grace.
"Maybe we are not in the land of grace at all." Xiuyi said to himself.
"No." Carmela said suddenly: "Where is the vajra rhino? Why can't you see the vajra rhino here? Shouldn't it be sent in by the teleportation circle?"
This question surprised everyone.
Xiu Yi frowned slightly: "The teleportation circle is a one-way teleportation circle. It should be a random teleportation within a fixed area, so the diamond rhinoceros will not appear in the same place as us. The problem is that we don't see it at all, which means that this place is much bigger than we imagined."
"Then what should we do? This place means nothing to us." Harry was also dumbfounded.
This area is so large, but it is a desolate and barren land. There are no plants growing on the soil, and naturally there will be no living monsters. They found nothing but dead bodies.
But Xiu Yi seemed to be very interested, because this land was not completely meaningless to him. These soils are rich in metal components, including some special metals. Although the content is very low, it cannot support the entire plain to be such land. As long as it is refined, it can provide Xiuyi with some special metal resources.
Diamond rhinoceros are monsters that love minerals, no wonder they choose such a place as their final place of death. For them, here is nothing less than heaven.
In addition, the wasteland is not really barren of grass, some special plants that can absorb metal still grow, they are extremely rare in Fengming Continent, and they have become the only owners here.
"An excellent alchemist must have eyes that can discover value. At least this place is not meaningless to me." Xiuyi said with a smile: "What's more, there is absolutely no way there is nothing here. Remember the energy that supports the operation of the magic circle? I can sense its existence, as if some kind of power is calling me and guiding me..."
Everyone looked at each other in dismay.
"You mean... what else exists here?" Harry asked cautiously, "Some kind of existence exuding huge magical energy?"
"Perhaps it is also the existence that makes this land so barren but unknown at the same time."
A chill suddenly rose in everyone's heart.
After saying this, Xiu Yi got up and went on the road. Behind him is the black warrior who has been silently following, with Xu who has fallen asleep on his back.
"What a bad day," Harry muttered, and then he yelled, "Hey, wait for me."
A group of people followed Xiu Yi's footsteps and walked forward.
