Chapter 38: The fight between monsters and Ophelia’s departure [seeking follow-up reading]
Rebecca skillfully peeled off the gray fur of the Night Shadow Wolf.
Wrapping all the sharp claws and canine teeth into it, he tied it into a bundle and straddled it diagonally behind him.
There is a white crystal necklace hanging around her neck, which absorbs the magic power that escapes after the death of the monster.
The relevant loot will be distributed afterwards, after all, there is Ophelia in the team.
The three of them gathered together, leaning against a huge oak tree, using the bushes to shield their bodies.
"Now it's time to decide whether we should continue moving forward or return the same way."
Hearing her words, Rebecca couldn't help but look at Chen Xuan.
And Ophelia then added seriously.
"If it's just for experience, then it's time to stop here." "
Even if it's a new mini-cave, there are at least dozens of monsters wandering around it." "
This is not a problem that our temporary team of three can solve. ."
Her words made sense, and Chen Xuan nodded in agreement.
Rather than being alone, monsters in groups are the scariest thing.
"You're right..."
"Then let's retreat."
Kitten Girl had no objection to this, and Ophelia also buttoned up her quiver.
Just when the three of them got up and prepared to pack their bags, a loud and fierce chirp came from the northeast.
"Beep!"
This cry was so powerful that all the birds in the forest were frightened and flew away in all directions.
Then a sharp cry continued to resound above the woods.
Preliminary estimates indicate that the source of the sound is only a few hundred meters away from them at most.
Rebecca bent her knees slightly, jumped up, and climbed up the big oak tree. She soon reached the top of the treetop and looked towards the source of the sound.
About half a minute later, she slid down the gap between the trees.
His expression was somewhat serious.
Looking at the expectant eyes of Chen Xuan and Ophelia, she reported the report in a hurried tone.
"There are two flying monsters fighting in the air..."
"They are fighting close to the tree crown, surrounded by black magic circles, making it difficult to see clearly.
"There are suspected to be more monsters participating in the battle below, because I vaguely saw the objects thrown into the air. wooden spear. "
The experienced Ophelia immediately frowned.
"Monster fight? "
That's a pretty rare situation. " “
But it’s not without precedent.
"Maybe the monsters are snatching the demon seeds from the new crypt! " "
Chen Xuan listened attentively and repeated softly.
"Demon species? "
Ophelia, who was standing near the front, looked at the direction of the sound source and nodded slowly.
"Yes, demon seeds are a necessary material for advancement in the crypt. "
"This kind of strange magic carrier usually appears with the birth of the cave. "
They maintain the stability of the passages in the monster crypt,"
"Low-level demon species can merge with each other to become higher-level demon species." “
In addition, monsters can also obtain new monster species through special sacrifices. "
She knows much more about this information than Kitty Girl.
"I see..."
Chen Xuan raised his eyebrows, as if thinking about something.
At this time, Ophelia put away her distant gaze. , turned back to him.
"If a demon hunter encounters this situation, he will definitely be ecstatic.
" Let's go. "
"Demon hunter, what is that? " "
Facing Ophelia's urging, Chen Xuan did not move, but asked curiously.
The eldest animal trainer, who had long been accustomed to popularizing science with novices, casually explained,
"Those guys always hide themselves. Due to his strength, he refuses to improve his rank. He most likes to undertake investigation orders, explore new crypts, and wait for opportunities to seize demon seeds. "
Wait, you don't mean that?" "
She suddenly thought of a possibility and turned to look at Chen Xuan with disbelief.
"Yes, I plan to go and have a look.
"Dear Miss Ophelia, you don't have to come. "
"Go back, I have Rebecca to accompany me. " "
"If we don't return to the farm, then..."
"At the third or fourth water clock of the next Naraya Day, I will be waiting for you at Qingbaiye Street in the West District. "
Let's talk about Little Sweet Water, the transaction of 'Monster Happy Saw', and the distribution of the spoils just now..." The
monsters are fighting within themselves, a rare scene. Chen Xuan is going to take Kitty Girl to see it.
There is [cross-border] With [Time Stop] as his trump card, he can pull it off at any time.
"This is crazy!
"Hell, I don't care about this loot! " "
Ophelia turned her gaze to the kitten girl Rebecca, trying to see some reason on her face.
But she saw Rebecca Miri with a calm expression and standing firmly beside Chen Xuan.
"You two lunatics, What a perfect match! "
"I will not accompany you to fool around!" "
She seemed a little angry, because the behavior of Chen Xuan and Kitten Girl made her feel unreasonable.
This situation is also normal.
If you don't want to compete, how can you know the joy of competing?
Ophelia said angrily "Humph" After calling for several times, she finally decided to leave alone.
But before leaving, she took out a soft liquid ball wrapped in a thick membrane from the storage bag at her waist and placed it in the palm of the kitten girl's hand. "Take it
. Look, this is a liquid mass quenched from the foul-smelling agave! "
" If you are surrounded by inferior monsters, crush them! "
"This thing can dispel the stench of monsters! "
It's a reward for your little jar of sweet water..."
"I'm leaving. I hope you can come back safely!" "
After Ophelia finished speaking, she shook off the pocket that covered her body and left in the direction she came from.
Chen Xuan and the other two watched the eldest animal tamer leave, and then headed towards the direction where the suspected monsters were fighting.
… ...
More than ten minutes later.
Ophelia, who was returning, was walking quickly in the forest, holding the can left behind after drinking the sweet water.
"This can should be made of metal, right? "
" But the weight is extremely light . "
She thought about it in her mind, took out a knife and gently scraped off the surface coating. She was stunned when she saw the silver-gray metal powder scraped off inside.
"Is this...aluminumware?"
"The set of aluminum tableware that the Baron once showed off during his last banquet..." "
It is said that the steps required to refine it are more complicated than the magic of mithril!"
"Damn it! , Chen Xuan must not die!"
"I knew that guy's bloodline and origin were unusual!" "
His appearance and features are completely different from those dirty men in the city!"
Ophelia quickly and carefully put the cans into the storage bag Here, just when he was about to return to pursue Chen Xuan.
Suddenly a harsh and rough greeting came from the opposite direction.
"Hey, half-elf woman?"
"Where are the humans and catwomen who went into the forest with you before?"
The wild boar Ragnar put the hand holding the magic disk behind his back and asked with interest.
It was holding a double-edged ax in one hand and was walking out of a bush.
The ugly scarred face looked very ferocious in the shadows of the forest.
But Ophelia is not afraid, she has many trump cards.
"Mind your own business."
"Go your own way!"
She rolled her eyes and said mercilessly, running towards the west forest, deliberately confusing Ragna.
When she completely disappeared into the forest, Ragnar showed a sarcastic smile.
He raised his hand and looked at the light mark of the magic disk, and walked firmly in the direction of north by east.
...
Everyone must know about aluminum stalks, right?
Aluminum products have historically been more expensive than gold.
This is because the cost of making aluminum exceeded the cost of gold mining.
The development focus of the other world is different from that of Blue Star, and there is no way around the limitations of preparation technology, so there is a situation where rare things are more valuable.
Simply a certain kind of magic cannot replace electrochemical refining.
Later, maybe the protagonist will recruit a team of alchemists.
Let alchemists feel the charm of the periodic table of elements.
[ps: In the parallel world where the novel is located, all unreasonable elements collapse towards the side that is beneficial to the author’s analysis~]
