The Witcher: Elemental Lords

#106 - Difficulty in promotion

This time, it was a great harvest.

Everyone was carrying prey on their backs, big and small, hanging all over their bodies. It could be said that it was a truly great harvest.

After wandering in the mountains for two days, Dole could be considered familiar with hunting. Vigilance, vigilance, and more vigilance. This was the law of the jungle. Without vigilance, death could come at any time. In the dark mountains and forests, who knew what was lurking.

Returning to his room, Dole tidied up, sorted the collected herbs, and dried them in the yard. By the time he finished, it was already late at night.

Baer had already comfortably settled in the room at some point. Seeing him enter, a smile appeared on his dog face. "How was it? How did you feel about the mountains and forests?"

Dole rubbed his hands together, his expression solemn. "More dangerous than I imagined. Even ordinary wild boars can harm entry-level experts. It's simply terrifying."

Baer shook his head. "It's not that wild boars are powerful, but it's a racial advantage. You humans are inherently weak. Using your weight of only about a hundred kilograms to charge at a wild boar weighing nearly a thousand kilograms, even with Dou Qi, it won't work."

Dole was immediately thoughtful.

This guy seems to have been around all the time. He understood the meaning in Baer's words, nodded, and said, "I understand. When there is no racial advantage, you need to use your own advantages to exploit the disadvantages of others. Don't use the strengths of others to attack your own weaknesses, right?"

Baer nodded. "The most powerful thing about the human race is its ability to use intelligence and tools. This is precisely what beasts lack. Why compete with creatures ten times your weight in terms of physical strength? That's completely foolish behavior."

Dole shrugged. "I know. I'm not the foolish one."

Baer chuckled and said nothing more.

"You need to hurry up and enter the Extraordinary realm. Let's leave here quickly. This place is no longer suitable for your development."

Baer naturally had his own plans. Now that he had come to this world, he couldn't stay in this small, broken place forever. He needed to go out and see the world and the beautiful women.

Duomeng City was really too remote.

Dole nodded, feeling a little troubled. "My mental strength is currently stuck in a bottleneck. I can only focus on breathing techniques and martial arts training."

Baer lowered his dog head, somewhat helplessly saying, "Take your time. I don't have any experience in this area. After all, I was born as a Tier 3 creature."

Dole's mind buzzed. He tried hard not to look at this guy. He was being attacked.

"I need to go to the black market this month to see if I can exchange for magic crystals. Without magic crystals, nothing can be done."

Baer nodded, seemingly nonchalantly saying, "I will follow you then."

Dole breathed a sigh of relief. With this guy around, safety could be guaranteed.

Thinking of this, he calmed down again.

He unusually didn't cultivate that night, but went straight to sleep. Although he hadn't wasted much physical strength in the mountains these past two days, it had indeed been mentally exhausting.

He felt that he should go into the mountains more often in the future. After all, if he could discover an unknown magic crystal mine in the future, he would have to claim it for himself as a reserve resource. If he wasn't adapted to mountain life, it wouldn't work. He couldn't rely on Boss Baer for everything.

After resting overnight, Dole appeared on the riverbank on time in the morning to exercise his body and practice breathing techniques.

Breathing techniques are the key for humans to enter the Extraordinary world. Through breathing at a specific frequency, Qi and blood are stimulated at the same time, reaching a very subtle state. In this situation, the human body will open, attracting a portion of energy into the human body, and strengthening the body in coordination with the breathing technique.

If, by chance, a person can sense the energy entering the body and intercept it, leaving it in the body, then Dou Qi is formed.

Dole's mental strength couldn't extend beyond his body, and his improvement was quite slow. He only wanted to use this method to sense the ubiquitous energy between heaven and earth, and make a side breakthrough as a wizard. Maybe he could break through two bottlenecks in one go, one as a wizard and one as a warrior.

He was still shooting arrows, coordinating with his breathing, shooting arrows one after another. He could feel his muscles expanding and his bones growing. This was the effect of the breathing technique.

There were about one hundred and seventy adults and children who could move around in the village. Thirty percent were children, and about twenty had advanced strength. At this time, these twenty people were standing by the river like Dole, moving slowly, looking very comical.

But these twenty people were the strongest people in Victor Village besides Dole. As long as one person could break through, the village's ability to protect itself would be greatly enhanced.

Dole was shooting arrows aimlessly, feeling the constant changes in his body, and constantly sensing the energy between heaven and earth, but he gained nothing all morning.

The energy between heaven and earth was completely different from the energy in the magic crystals. It was very subtle and very weak, far less intuitive than the energy in the magic crystals.

He could touch and sense the energy in the magic crystals through his skin, but the energy in heaven and earth was like a spring breeze and rain, leaving no trace, which made people very distressed.

Dole knew that he might need a very long process to break this shackle.

Time slowly passed for 3 days, and the time for the black market arrived.

Dole prepared his things, disguised himself as A'duo, wearing a set of animal skins. Before dawn, he and Baer secretly slipped out of the small village.

In the early morning, the villagers in the watchtower on the bridge were asleep and didn't notice Dole's departure at all. He quickly entered the official road and headed towards Duomeng City.

Just as the sky was getting light, he came to a location not far from the city gate, at the entrance of several valleys. After just one glance and a moment of thought, Dole chose a valley entrance and walked inside.

As it was getting brighter, he had also penetrated deep into the valley. Turning left and right, he quickly came to a very wide valley.

While walking, he casually and quietly dropped some things on the road. Dole quickly entered the valley. Comparing the surrounding situation, he quickly saw a natural cave in the mountains.

Seeing the cave, he smiled slightly, put the animal skin hood on his clothes, put on a mask, and then headed towards the cave.

Arriving at the cave entrance, a voice came from above.

"East, West, South, North."

Dole's disguised voice blurted out, "Cause and effect cycle."

"Come up."

With a light jump, he easily jumped three or four meters, came to the cave entrance, and slowly walked over.

At the entrance, a middle-aged man nodded to him.

With the increase in mental strength, Dole was already able to initially sense the differences in the surrounding world. He sensed that there were subtle other forces existing on the middle-aged man, and his heart trembled.

This was the guardian of the black market, actually a Tier 1 wizard.

Dole fumbled in his arms, took out a bottle of Tier 2 Strength Potion, and placed it in front of the guardian.

The guardian glanced at it, nodded, and put away the Tier 2 Strength Potion, but his eyes narrowed even more, seemingly becoming interested in him.

Dole had sold potions last time, and he still trusted the guardian's character, so he directly strode in.

Behind him, Baer followed closely, also glancing at the guardian, his dog eyes revealing a calm and unwavering state.

The cave was very dark. After walking not far, he smelled some odors, and some light appeared in front.
