Chapter 523: Dilemma(1/2)
The sun has set.
Clarissa and her group walked between the cliffs, cautious and cautious.
At this time, the road was a little dark, but everyone dared not stay here to rest.
The ghost songs are like eighteen twists, but they are not just a fictional reputation. When they come here, they can be said to be full of dangers.
The mountain wind blew, making a sound of ghosts and howling, which made everyone feel nervous and a chill from the bottom of their hearts.
As the leader of the "Leixing Mercenary Group", Clarisa took the lead in leading the way.
"The terrain here is indeed dangerous!"
Looking at the cliffs on both sides, Clarissa dared not be careless. She had heard of the numerous bandits in this area.
"I hope it can pass smoothly, and there will be no more surprises!"
Clarissa raised her head with a serious expression, and a red bird was hovering and soaring over the cliff.
This red bird is the young man's pet animal.
In order to minimize the risk, Clarissa asked the teenager for help.
Originally, she thought the boy would make things difficult for him, but she didn't expect that the boy agreed readily.
With the talking bird standing guard in the sky, Clarissa's heart could be more stable.
Not long ago, she had learned about the bird's reconnaissance ability.
"If someone is ambushing on the cliff, you should be able to discover it as soon as possible."
Thinking of this in my heart, Clarissa couldn't help but glance at the boy following behind the team.
The boy was sitting on the pig's back at this time, with a little calm expression.
"I really don't understand what kind of boy this is. He didn't react at all in the face of the fight not long ago. It's really strange!"
Clarissa became more and more curious about the identity of Dongfang Xiuzhe.
Because she knew that if she was an ordinary teenager, no matter how calm she was, she would not be so calm when facing a life-and-death crisis.
Clarissa's attitude towards Oriental Xiuzhe is quietly changing.
She had already begun to realize that this was not an ordinary teenager.
I have to say that the pig king’s fat body is still beneficial because it will have a good shock absorption effect.
The Oriental Xiuzhe who was sitting on it couldn't feel any bumps or even felt a little comfortable.
"I really didn't expect that this 'elixir' actually implicitly the principle of Yin and Yang and Five Elements, mutual generation and restraint."
He sorted out the newly learned alchemy knowledge in his mind, and Dongfang Xiuzhe was surprised to find that every time he sorted and recalled, he would have a deeper understanding.
Just now, he discovered that this "elixir" contains mutual generation and mutual restraint. If this rule can be mastered, then even if it is just carrots and cabbage, it can still be used as medicine and refining elixirs.
"It seems that the knowledge of Yin, Yang and Five Elements you have mastered can be applied to various fields!"
The corners of his mouth bent a curve. Dongfang Xiuzhe was very glad that after traveling through this world, he still had memories of his previous life.
The team is moving slowly, and even as they go deeper and deeper into the "Ghost Song Eighteen Bevels", the speed becomes slower and slower.
"Fengdeng, I'll ask you a question, have you heard of the 'Discontinuation and Suspension Pulse Ointment'?"
Oriental cultivator used his thoughts to ask.
At this time, the ring on his finger suddenly flashed the soul of an old man, which was Feng Deng.
"Is the 'Distance and Suspense Pulse Ointment' that has a strong transformation and therapeutic effect on meridians?"
Fengdeng paused for a moment, and then continued: "This kind of medicine needs to be put into the medicine in nine times during the refining process, and the timing and temperature at different times are particularly important. If you are not careful, all your previous efforts will be wasted."
"Can you refine it?"
Dongfang Xiuzhe was shocked and did not expect that he would ask casually, but he actually asked the right question.
After stroking his gray beard, Feng Deng smiled proudly and said, "Although the 'Break of the Meridian and Suspense Pulse Ointment' can be called the 'Best Level Potion', it is not difficult to refine, just because the required materials are fully prepared and a bit complicated."
"Haha~" Dongfang Xiuzhe suddenly smirked twice.
At this moment, he realized a sentence: I can search for it without any effort!
"Fengdeng, teach me the method of refining the 'Severe Sutra and Suspense Pulse Ointment', I must learn this!"
There was a flash of light in the eyes of the Eastern Xiuzhe.
Feng Deng could not understand why his little master looked at the "Severe Sutra and Sutra Pulse Ointment" so much, but he was not a talkative person. He did not ask the reason, but just nodded silently.
For Fengdeng, there is no pressure to refine any grade of elixir of the Earth level.
"Don't worry, I will let you condense the entity as soon as possible, haha!"
Dongfang Xiuzhe stared at Feng Deng in front of him with a look of looking at the baby.
Hearing this, Fengdeng had no obvious change in expression.
"After you have the entity, you can continue to refine various elixirs, and you can also learn the secrets of the pharmacopoeia I got." Dongfang Xiuzhe continued.
At this time, Fengdeng could no longer be calm.
For an alchemist, he will have a strong enthusiasm and inseparable feelings for alchemy.
Feng Deng thought that he had only his soul, and he could no longer refine any pills in the future. However, the little master in front of him gave him hope, which could also be said to have given him the motivation to continue.
"My master, is this...is this true? Can I really continue to refine pills? I...I am a dead person!"
Fengdeng suppressed his excitement, and the beard on his chin kept swaying, looking very funny.
"For me, the dead people do not mean disappear. Don't worry, time won't let you wait too long!"
As he said that, Dongfang Xiuzhe looked up at the night sky above his head. Perhaps because he was in a good mood, he actually felt that the environment here was very good.
If Clarissa knew about his idea, she would definitely roll her eyes.
You know, for the mercenaries, this ghost place is simply a test of the limit of mental and psychological endurance.
"Stop moving forward!"
At this moment, Clarissa didn't know what she had discovered and suddenly shouted.
The mercenaries hurriedly stopped. They thought they had encountered the enemy, so they were ready for battle.
"Captain, what did you find?" At this time, a mercenary leaned over and asked in a low voice.
"I always feel restless, as if something is waiting for us!"
Clarissa said with a serious expression. At this time, the woman's sixth sense was extremely strongly developed.
"What should we do? Will we go back the same way?" the mercenary continued to ask.
Now the road where everyone is located has no forks, so they can only move forward or backward. There is no third choice.
Shaking his head, Clarissa frowned and said, "'Ghost Song Eighteen Bends' we must go through!"
If they choose another route, no matter which route, it will take several more months, which will violate the employer's requirements.
Moreover, Clarissa also wanted to use this place to prove that their "Leixing Mercenary Group" had no way to go.
"Hey, what a lustful bird!" Suddenly, Clarisa shouted at the Phoenix Eagle soaring in the sky, "Have you found anything suspicious?"
A red light flashed, and the Phoenix King Eagle rushed forward. In the blink of an eye, it had already arrived in front of Clarissa.
"Hey, cow girl, what did you tell me to do?" Feng Wangying stood on the head of the horse that Clarissa rode and asked with some disrespect.
Clarissa was already used to the problem of the Fengwang Eagle being nicknamed. She didn't care at this time, but continued to ask: "Have you found any suspicious things?"
“Suspicious place?”
Fengwangying was stunned, then his eyes were aimed at Clarissa, and finally his eyes remained in the two groups of suspicious and prominent.
"You lustful bird, I don't have time to waste time with you. Tell me quickly. Is there an ambush on the road ahead?" Clarissa continued to ask with a blue face, suppressing the anger in her heart.
She really couldn't figure out how the boy raised such a lustful bird?
Originally, she thought that "the upper beam was not straight and the lower beam was crooked", but after spending a few days with the boy, she found that the boy had no interest in her.
"I saw many human corpses in front of me. I wonder if this is suspicious?" Feng Wangying continued to tidy up her feathers.
"What did you say?" Clarissa was shocked.
After walking forward for a quarter of an hour, everyone saw the corpse mentioned by Feng Wangying.
Seeing these corpses, Clarissa's face became even more serious.
Not only her, but other mercenaries also became nervous.
The corpses in front of them were actually the gang of thieves who planned to rob them not long ago.
"How could they die here?"
"It's so strange. There are no signs of fighting around. Could it be that they were transported here after being killed from another place?"
"Hey, look at the wounds of these corpses. They were killed with one sword, and from the incision and perspective, it seemed that they were done by one person!"
Check the scene, analyze it based on some clues, and finally obtain useful information, which any qualified mercenary must master.
To be continued...
