Chapter 110 The Second Battlefield
Lin Er was focused on refining the Qi-Nourishing Pill, and he couldn't concentrate on it for the time being after seeing the lizard-like demi-human soldiers surrounding him.
Too many precious materials were used in this alchemy; the slightest carelessness could ruin everything.
Ilulian had been waiting for a long time. After glancing at the enemy and confirming that there were only forty of them, she immediately drew her twin swords.
One of the second-tier lizardman soldiers, captain, raised his steel blade and shouted, "Brothers, she's alone! Let's charge and kill her!"
Illumian narrowed her eyes, no longer concealing her aura. A surge of pure wind element rapidly rose, making her breathing extremely terrifying.
A cyan breeze swirled around her, ruffling her long, silvery hair. A few fallen leaves drifted down from the sky, only to be torn to shreds the instant they touched the breeze.
The lizard-like soldiers' expressions changed drastically.
This wind elemental aura can be released outwards.
Could it be a fourth order?
The lizard-like demi-human soldier captain who had just shouted looked as if he had swallowed bitterness, and his movements became stiff.
Not only him, but all the other lizard-like soldiers also swallowed hard.
If Illulian were only at the third tier, they could at least escape if they couldn't win.
Fourth tier, and still the fastest wind attribute.
Even if they could escape, their chances of survival became extremely slim.
In an instant, all the lizard-like beings looked at each other, unsure whether to advance or retreat.
Just then, an even stronger gust of wind suddenly arose, whipping up fallen leaves and dust, blurring the view instantly.
I don't know which lizardman shouted that.
"Run away!"
In an instant, the lizard-like soldiers abandoned their armor and fled in all directions, losing even the courage to turn back and test the waters.
Ilulian glanced at Lin Er and saw that he was still focused on the alchemy furnace and undisturbed, before she leaped after him.
At this moment, Lin Er's entire mind was focused on the alchemy furnace. Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead as he tried his best to suppress the surging medicinal power in the furnace. He had to control the details during the alchemy process. If the true fire was suppressed even slightly, the pill would become a waste. This process was extremely mentally taxing.
As time passed, the Qi-Nourishing Pill inside the alchemy furnace gradually took shape.
There are 24 in total, which is not a large number.
At this moment, a large amount of spiritual energy surged into the alchemy furnace.
Lin Er knew that the moment had come, so he steadied his mind and dared not relax in the slightest.
A moment later, the wind stopped, and the fluttering leaves fell to the ground.
As the last wisp of spiritual energy entered the alchemy furnace, everything fell silent.
Lin Er extinguished the flame, looked up and around. The dim sky had returned to normal. The light was clear, the forest was lush, and flowers and grasses were clearly visible hundreds of meters away, a scene of bright sunshine.
"The fog has all disappeared."
Lin Er was startled. He had expected the fog to dissipate considerably, but he hadn't imagined that not a single drop would remain.
Without the mist, would the Misty Forest still live up to its name?
After a brief moment of amazement, Lin Er looked away and returned his gaze to the alchemy furnace.
This alchemy has absorbed so much spiritual energy, the output must be very rich.
He immediately opened the alchemy furnace.
A wisp of white mist rose gently, like clouds and rosy hues, exuding an ethereal beauty. Within the furnace, nine streams of milky-white light flowed, bright and pleasing to the eye.
Then, a faint medicinal fragrance wafted out.
Lin Er looked up and saw that he had actually refined nine top-grade Qi-Nourishing Pills this time. These Qi-Nourishing Pills of this quality were extremely effective and impossible to buy.
He immediately put it into a jade bottle, and then looked at the remaining pills. Each one was crystal clear and lustrous, and all were of superior quality.
"These are all top-grade Qi-Nourishing Pills. If I were to buy them, they would cost at least 45 spirit stones."
The harvest this time exceeded expectations.
Lin Er withdrew his gaze and packed all the Qi-Nourishing Pills.
Just then, Ilulian returned from outside, having already slaughtered all the lizard-like soldiers.
She sheathed her two swords, her expression filled with deep confusion.
Illulian had no idea how Lin'er had managed to dispel all the mist.
He was just refining medicine there; he wasn't using any magic at all.
Lin'er looked at Ilulian and said, "Sister Ilulian, why don't you go and raid the Mistbone Nest?"
For this surprise attack, Deacon Roseline did not allow Lin Er to participate.
He had inquired beforehand and found that none of the five monster leaders were elemental monsters, so he didn't insist.
However, Butler Roslin agreed to help him find clues about the elemental monsters.
Ilulian nodded and said, "Then I'll take you back first."
Now that the fog has cleared, she's not in a hurry anymore; she'll get Lin Er back to a safe place first.
She summoned the dragon eagle, and the two of them rode it into the air.
Lin Er looked down, and now that the mist was gone, the entire primeval forest was laid out before him. Layer upon layer of evergreen trees stood like a sea, seemingly endless.
On the branches of the tall evergreen tree, many birds and small monsters were active, usually invisible due to the thick fog. Upon seeing the dragon eagle, they scattered in fright and vanished without a trace.
In the blink of an eye.
Lin Er saw the buildings of Linwu Village. At first glance, the village was empty, with only a few adventurers scattered around.
After Lin Er descended, he found a young woman with blue hair guarding the spot. He had seen her once yesterday, so he went over to her.
Just as Lin Er was about to say hello.
Vera, the tide whisperer, approached. She paused, gazing intently as if listening to the lingering echoes of the wind and sea, before slowly speaking: "This morning, the tide receded swiftly and far, and the east wind—as it passed through the tide—I heard the echo of blades shattering against the crests of waves. And all the fragments, in the end, flowed towards you."
At this point, she bowed deeply to Lin Er and said, "Thank you for clearing away the fog."
Lin Er replied calmly, "It's just a temporary cleanup; things will return to normal soon. Deputy Deacon Vera, why is no one in the village?"
Vera replied softly, "As soon as the mist dissipated, the monsters in the forest scattered and are attacking the surrounding villages. We have already dispatched adventurers to intercept them."
So that's how it is. It seems that the monsters in the Mist Bone Nest are also making a desperate stand.
Lin Er looked around again but didn't see Ellie and Talia, so he asked Vera.
"Ellie?" Vera thought for a moment. "The outpost is short-handed, so they went to the village to provide support. But—I heard the sound of the waves from her side, and it seems to be getting stronger."
She then raised her hand and pointed in a direction.
[You have received news from your sect elders that your junior sister is on her way to a village to exterminate demonic beasts but seems to have encountered danger. Please go and help her as soon as possible. Reward: Junior Sister's Personal Amulet *1]
Upon learning of the situation, Lin Er immediately gave chase.
With a flick of his fingers, he unleashed his Wind Control Technique, instantly feeling light and leaping several meters in a single step. In just a few breaths, he had covered a hundred meters.
Before long, a village came into view.
In the wheat field, a troll with a missing arm was staggering around. Who else could it be but the troll Gram?
