BXBX NOVEL Chapter 126 - 95: Special Potion! Exposure of Special Ingredients!
Zheng Cheng and the others came over to take a look.
As expected, there were indeed numerous large fish belly-up in the previously murky river.
Many river shrimps, crabs, water spiders, and other aquatic creatures were all floating on the river surface, lifeless.
“Hurry up and get out!”
“We might have been poisoned as well, quickly use the antidote!”
“It’s useless, the antidote can neutralize the poison, but we’re trapped here.”
The group panicly took out their antidotes and rushed ashore.
However, Li Jiao was gloomy and said, “We only have three days in the secret realm, we’ve already spent almost two days here.”
“Even though we found the mission item, if we can’t get back, sooner or later we’re all dead…”
“Jiaojiao!”
Li Zhen stopped Li Jiao and said, “Don’t worry, even if it costs me my life, I’ll ensure you get out!”
“It’s not that bad.”
Zheng Cheng shook his head, “Although the water is poisonous, I have a way for us to move in the water without getting harmed.”
“What method?”
Their eyes lit up with hope at his words, especially Li Jiao’s.
Everyone was trapped here, what could Zheng Cheng do?
He was only a three-star priest!
Zheng Cheng looked at Song Chaoyu and said, “It’s simple, we wrap everyone with a soul beast and swim our way out of the river.”
“If Chaoyu’s soul beast can isolate the river water, it can definitely isolate the poison in the river.”
Song Chaoyu also suddenly realized.
Yes.
Not only did he summon a Fishman BOSS soul beast, but also eight python soul beasts.
They were more than enough to carry everyone out.
“I have been following you all for a day, and my level has increased by two, and now I am LV12.”
“I put all the 16 experience points I gained from leveling up into my spirit, in addition to the Fishman BOSS soul beast, I’ve also controlled eight python soul beasts.”
“Wrapping everyone, is more than enough!”
Li Zhen was surprised and asked, “Can it really isolate the severe poison in the water?”
“No problem.” Song Chaoyu nodded, “We can give it a try later.”
Cai Shen suddenly said, “Well…Brother Cheng, since we can cross the river relying on Song Chaoyu’s soul beasts, we can totally sneak to a place without any half-human creatures and then find a way to return to the entrance of the secret realm.”
Just as his words fell, the gaze of the eight people present changed.
Li Jiao was somewhat surprised, and Li Zhen was considering the proposal.
On the other hand, Cai Shen, Song Chaoyu and others were excited, evidently very much in favor of this method.
As for Song Chaoyu, his eyes were still calm, but he too had started pondering.
“No!”
Bai Jingqi gritted his teeth and said, “Jingsheng’s body is still on the shore, even if we leave, I want to retrieve Jingsheng’s body!”
“This…” Cai Shen hesitated to say, “There are half-human creatures on the shore, it’s said they… eat people…”
Before he could finish, Bai Jingqi’s face changed and he glared at Cai Shen.
“I was just kidding, just kidding, sorry…”
Cai Shen quickly spread his wings, indicating his apology.
Zheng Cheng took a step forward, shielding Cai Shen, and said, “Jingqi, calm down.”
“Huff… I know.”
Bai Jingqi gritted his teeth and said, “No matter what, I have to go up and see.”
Qin Zheng suddenly said, “I also want to go.”
“That damned half-human creature hacked me with an axe, I must return the favor!”
Zheng Cheng slightly furrowed his brows, these young masters from the great families are stubborn and have high standards.
But their hearts were indeed good.
If they really chose Cai Shen’s proposal due to the threat of the half-human creatures, and sneak away, he would surely look down on them a bit.
Even if they leave the secret realm, this experience here would become a nightmare that they wouldn’t dare to mention in their lifetime.
But now…
Li Zhen gritted his teeth and said, “I also agree with Jingqi and Qin Zheng’s proposal, but not for vengeance.”
Gazing at the puzzled looks, Li Zhen said, “Our current location should be the place where the Moria Mine black-bearded dwarves cool their weapons.”
“The passageways are very few, even if we quietly leave here, it’s hard to find a suitable route.”
“While supporting Jingqi, I found that the place where these half-human creatures appeared was a giant passage, with numerous mining carts.”
“They must have come here through the mining cart passage, which should connect to all the important places in Moria Mine.”
“Including the entrance of the secret realm!”
“That is to say, if we want to leave Moria Mine, we must go through that mining cart passage.”
“Otherwise, it would be very difficult…”
Zheng Cheng nodded and said, “Brother Li Zhen analyzes well, so my idea is… wipe out those half-human creatures!”
Bai Jingqi and Qin Zheng’s eyes lit up, and they subconsciously looked at Zheng Cheng.
They originally thought that Zheng Cheng would support Cai Shen’s idea.
Unexpectedly…
Li Jiao’s eyes were even more watery, looking like they were about to overflow from her large eyes.
“Brother Cheng, don’t be impulsive…” Cai Shen was anxious: “There are hundreds of half-human creatures, and there are two bosses, one is a beastman priest…”
Bai Jingqi also hesitated and said, “Zheng Cheng, a group of half-human creatures with a beastman priest and those without one are two different combat powers.”
“We’re certainly not afraid of regular half-human creatures, but once there is a beastman priest, it can bestow half-human creatures with Agility Halo, Stone Skin Halo, Berserk Halo, Calm Halo, Endurance Halo, and so on.”
“With these halos boosting them, the strength of ordinary half-human creatures will skyrocket at least two or three times…”
Qin Zheng also laughed bitterly: “When we were escaping from the shore, the beastman priest released a Dull Aural on us, reducing our speed by half!”
“That’s at least one of the Evil Auras that only a LV30 or above priest can control. If she can manipulate other types of Evil Auras like Paralysis Aura, and Power Drain War song… we would undoubtedly be doomed!”
Li Zhen chimed in, “Our elders in the family have warned me that one of our battles in the alien battlefield of our Blue Star is against the Beastman Empire!”
“Every time we have a major battle, the priests of the Beastman Empire cause us lots of misery.”
“If it weren’t for the advantageous terrain and the oppressive bombardment of missiles and nuclear bombs, Two World Mountain would have fallen long ago!”
Li Zhen’s voice also trembles.
“Our elders cautioned us never to engage in battle with beastmen warriors in the plains, especially when there’s a beastman priest!”
“Beastman Priest, huh …” Zheng Cheng pondered, “Does that mean, if we manage to kill this Beastman Priest, the remaining half-beasts won’t be much of a concern?”
“Exactly.”
Li Zhen nodds: “But it’s not that easy to kill a Beastman Priest.”
“Every Beastman Priest is heavily guarded. They always have followers around them, even when they sleep.”
“Moreover, once they become a Beastman Priest, they learn Spirit War songs which allow them to recruit a demon beast as their pet.”
“Killing Beastman Priest on the battlefield is extremely difficult unless they are isolated …”
As he spoke, Li Zhen’s tone changed.
He glanced at the soul beast beside Song Chaos’s body, then at Zheng Cheng, “Zheng Cheng, don’t tell me you’re planning to use the soul beast for a sneak attack!”
Zheng Cheng nodded: “We can try. The underwater river is dark and ordinary people can’t spot us under the guise of a soul beast.”
“As long as we approach quietly, and when the priest comes closer, or we lure her with something…a single deadly strike!”
Li Jiao suddenly interjects: “Heart of the Earth!”
“The half-beastmen attack Moria Mine for the Heart of the Earth ! We can totally use the Heart of the Earth as bait…”
“Ah… The Heart of the Earth is Brother Zheng Cheng’s war trophy now, whether to use it or not, he decides …”
“Brother Zheng Cheng?”
Li Zhen looked strangely at his sister, when did she get another elder brother?
Zheng Cheng nodded: “It’s just a gem, I agree with this plan.”
“What about you guys?”
“Agreed!”
“I agree too!”
“Brother Cheng, I’ll follow your lead ”
“Great!” Bai Jingqi declared: “Let’s do it now…”
“Do it now, my arse !”
Zheng Cheng interrupted the impulsive crowd with a remark: “We’ve been fighting constantly since entering the secret realm, it’s been nearly thirty hours, aren’t you guys tired?”
“Now, everyone rest!”
“Rest for at least eight hours before executing the plan.”
“Plus, we need to refine this plan.”
“Well…okay.”
Then the several of them separated to rest. Despite being separated, they still stayed relatively close to each other.
Li Zhen even took out some pre-prepared firewood from his space ring and lit it up.
This brought a little bit of warmth into the damp river cave.
Zheng Cheng then asked Song Chaos to arrange the soul beast at the bottom of the river, in case the half-beastmen attempted a surprise attack.
Once arrangements were made, he found Li Zhen and Qin Zheng again.
“Before entering the secret realm, Captain Yunxiao mentioned that we should bring the corpses from the realm with us, saying they could be used to concoct special pills and potions. Do you guys know anything about this?”
“You’re talking about the pill that permanently boosts the four-dimensional attributes.”
Li Zhen directly replied, “Of course I know about it, I have some on hand.”
As he said this, he pulled out one transparent tube from his space ring and threw it to Zheng Cheng.
“This potion was made by the alchemists our family trained. The quantity is rather limited, but I have no use for them now.”
Zheng Cheng looked down and saw that the transparent test tube was filled with frosty white liquid.
With a gentle shake, there was an unexplained shimmering light.
[Special Potion: Essence of Snow Spirit]
[Quality: One Star]
[Effect: Consuming it permanently increases 2 points of Spirit Energy, with a chance of permanently increasing 1 extra point. Limited to five servings, and only Professionist below LV10 can consume it.]
[Explanation: This potion is made from the blood of Snow Spirit. Due to addition of various materials, the medicinal effects of the potion are very unstable, please consume carefully. Also, consuming similar attribute potions may lead to drug resistance.]
“Essence of Snow Spirit?”
Zheng Cheng caressed the potion, both in terms of effect and restrictions, it was less effective than his one-star special ingredient.
“This potion is exclusive to our Li Family. It’s invaluable, sold at no less than 3000 gold coins per bottle!”
Li Zhen wondered: “However, if you need it, I can give you five bottles!”
“No need.”
Zheng Cheng rejected directly: “For our upcoming mission, I want you guys to look at this.”
As he spoke, Zheng Cheng pulled out an object from his space ring.
It was the size of a marble, in a grayish white color.
Looking closely, it seemed to be filled with rippling water.
“What is this?”Li Zhen wondered, and took it over.
“Remember I asked you guys for all the Black Sludge Fishman corpses at the shore? This object, was found on their bodies.”
“Something found on the monsters? Is it a special ingredient?”
Li Zhen’s eyes brightened, he rushed to check it, practically standing up in an instant.
“Holy shit! A three-star ingredient!”
“Agility +2 points, Spirit +1 point, plus resistance to poison and water-breathing as two special attributes!”
“Such an amazing ingredient? Do you have more?”
