Chapter 64

Gurgle~

Gurgle~

With the re-injection of mana, the originally clear alchemical solution began to turn turbid again at a speed visible to the naked eye; immediately after, the alchemical solution began to boil like boiling hot water.

Tang Zheng's expression changed; he immediately flicked his hand and threw the water bag containing the alchemical solution away.

Bang!

The water bag was thrown into the air and exploded with a boom.

The sound of the explosion spread rapidly through the jungle, startling a series of birds that flew toward the sky, emitting messy "chirp-chirp" cries.

In the jungle several hundred meters away.

Agu, leading two Hobgoblins carrying large baskets, stopped his steps somewhat nervously.

"W-what, commotion."

The Hobgoblin who stuttered a bit hurriedly looked around, his face full of guard and vigilance.

"It's not very far from here." The other Hobgoblin looked toward the direction the sound came from and spoke to Agu, equally nervously.

Agu raised his head and looked at the sky, "This kind of sound is not caused by monsters or wild beasts; it should be that human."

"Let's hurry!"

Agu's tone was spirited.

And the two Hobgoblins following beside Agu looked at each other, their expressions full of worry, but they could only follow along.

In another direction.

"Hoo~"

"Hoo~"

The little Evil Spirit Dog panted continuously; its black fur was covered with a large amount of broken branches and leaves, and there were even several wounds scratched by shrubs.

Its constantly trembling limbs further indicated that the little Evil Spirit Dog was already quite exhausted at this moment.

"Woof." The little Evil Spirit Dog also looked toward the direction the sound came from, its ears twitched a few times, and its originally gray eyes became bright again.

The scents in the jungle were extremely complex.

Even with an excellent sense of smell, it could smell Tang Zheng's scent at the beginning, but as time went on, the distance between the two sides kept widening.

Even an Evil Spirit Dog with an excellent sense of smell could no longer accurately judge the direction Tang Zheng had left in.

And now, the sound coming from the jungle.

Allowed the little Evil Spirit Dog, which had lost its way, to find the direction again.

"Woof!"

The little Evil Spirit Dog's gaze was firm; it stepped with trembling limbs and continued to burrow into the jungle.

It didn't know why it had to follow that terrifying existence; it only knew that without the protection of its parents, it could not survive in the jungle.

Seeking the protection of the strong is, in itself, the most basic law of survival in the jungle.

Clatter!

The fragments of the exploded water bag and the liquid of the alchemical solution spilled all over the ground.

"Ah!!"

The Hobgoblin Mu Guo let out a scream subconsciously, hugged his head with both hands, bent his knees, and curled up in the grass.

Even so, the roasted wild rabbit that had been more than half eaten was still held tightly in the Hobgoblin Mu Guo's mouth.

Tang Zheng ignored the Hobgoblin Mu Guo, who was screaming in fright, and looked at the water bag that had been blown into fragments; his eyebrows twitched slightly.

"It couldn't withstand the infusion of mana?"

"So, 5 points of mana is the limit."

Tang Zheng recalled the situation that occurred with the alchemical solution during the process of mana infusion just now, and thought thoughtfully, "No, it should be similar to the situation with the iron sword; it's a problem with the material."

The Hanging Spider is a relatively common monster on the outskirts of the jungle; it only possesses a relatively large threat due to its large numbers and gregarious nature.

In terms of level alone, the Hanging Spider's level is not high, and the poison sac naturally wouldn't be any high-level alchemical material.

If the focus of an Alchemist making potions lies in the type of herbs, the amount of dosage, the combination, etc.

Then the focus of an Alchemist making alchemical solutions lies in the material!

Compared to complex and cumbersome herb knowledge, Alchemy only pursues the characteristics of materials, which is much simpler; this is also the reason why Tang Zheng previously focused his energy on Alchemy.

"Since the poison sac can be used as an alchemical material, can some parts of other monsters also be used as materials for Alchemy?"

Tang Zheng thought of this, and a fiery look appeared on his face.

Of course!

Not every material can be used; like the bone chains obtained from the two Evil Spirit Dogs that Tang Zheng killed earlier, they are also a type of magic material.

Yet they could not be made into an alchemical solution!

Perhaps they could, but Tang Zheng clearly lacked such means at the moment.

Tang Zheng remembered that whether in the "Yggdrasil" game or in the Other World, potions are not just limited to the healing potion series. There are also some potions that can grant the user special abilities and enhancements, such as "Magic Potion: Lower Strength Increase," "Magic Potion: Lower Agility Increase," etc., in the Other World.

And in the "Yggdrasil" game, player characters who specialized in the "Alchemist" series possessed even higher-tier unique specialized jobs, and could even attach up to Sixth Rank magic to potions.

"Alchemists" naturally also possessed the same specialized jobs.

Tang Zheng withdrew his gaze from the shattered water bag fragments, his face showing no sign of regret.

Originally.

He only treated "Magic Swordsman" as a high-rank job to increase stats; after all, the ability to use magic that comes with this job was completely dispensable.

Even the job skill "Mana Slash" was nothing more than adding a long-range physical attack method.

On the contrary, this passive "Mana Infusion," which looked like just an auxiliary job skill, actually had unexpected surprises!

Withdrawing his thoughts.

Tang Zheng looked at the Hobgoblin Mu Guo, who was holding the rabbit meat and shivering in the grass not far away, "Are you finished eating?"

Hearing Tang Zheng's calm voice.

The Hobgoblin Mu Guo then raised his head from the grass, his fearful eyes first carefully sized up the surroundings, and only then did he heave a sigh of relief.

=9+Shu_ba

Knowing that it was Tang Zheng who made the big commotion just now.

He also knew that during this period, the powerful human in front of him always liked to do some things he couldn't understand.

"E-eaten, finished."

"My, my lord, are we setting off again?"

The Hobgoblin Mu Guo hurriedly spoke; according to the usual routine, they should have set off to hunt monsters and that group of inferior Goblins by now.

"That's good."

Tang Zheng nodded, lifted his longsword, and walked toward the Hobgoblin Mu Guo with a calm gaze.

And the Hobgoblin Mu Guo did not notice at all the killing intent faintly revealed in Tang Zheng's eyes.

After all.

His legs were broken and he couldn't move at all; every time, it was Tang Zheng who carried him to move.

However!

Just as Tang Zheng took two steps, his movements suddenly paused, and immediately after, he turned to the side and looked toward the position of the jungle behind the mountain.

Rustle—

Rustle, rustle!

The sound of feet stepping on the leaves on the ground and the body rubbing against branches and shrubs came from within the jungle.

Tang Zheng's ears twitched; listening to the sound, he judged that there should be two medium-sized creatures approaching the position where he was.

No?

It was three; there was also one smaller one, and the sound was covered up by the other two larger creatures.

Life in the jungle during this period had, unknowingly, also trained Tang Zheng's hearing and sight. Of course, it might also just be the improvement of his strength that made his five senses more acute.

"Interesting."

A look of interest appeared on Tang Zheng's face.

You know!

During this period, he didn't know if it was because of the large number of Goblins and monsters he had killed, or because of the change in aura produced by his increased strength.

Wherever he passed, many monsters and wild beasts would directly flee, and even the situation of frequently being attacked by poisonous insects when he first entered the forest had now disappeared.

This was the first time in half a month that he had encountered creatures that dared to actively approach his location.

He didn't wait long.

Accompanied by the dense rustling of branches and leaves.

A Hobgoblin the size of a human child pushed aside the bushes and revealed its light green head.

The moment its gaze made contact with Tang Zheng.

This child-sized Hobgoblin's whole body trembled subconsciously, and it couldn't help but call out: "F-f-find..."

"Agu!"

Just at this moment, the Hobgoblin Mu Guo, who was staying in the back, let out a sound filled with surprise, panic, and other complex emotions.

Accompanied by the sound of this familiar tone.

Agu also recovered from the terror he felt the moment he saw Tang Zheng, hurriedly looked in the direction of the Hobgoblin Mu Guo, and his voice still trembled slightly: "Brother Mu Guo."
