Five Elements Jade Chapter 170 The mysterious old man Merlin
When Zhao Lifan returned home for the Chinese New Year, he gave the formula of the alloy to his sister-in-law, Wang Changqin, the material doctor of Li Mei's company, and wanted her to make this alloy for herself and forge a spear.
Wang Changqin was amazed when he saw the alloy formula, and told Zhao Lifan that with this formula, Huaguo Materials will enter a new era, and at the same time drive the leapfrog development of many things, which will be decades ahead of the average level of Bluestar.
However, Wang Changqin also told Zhao Lifan that although the alloy made by this formula is very good, she can also integrate the results obtained from this year's research on the materials of the Evil Breaking Needle into the formula to further optimize the alloy to see if Zhao Lifan can wait until the formula is perfect before forging a spear for him, of course Zhao Lifan agreed, and he didn't care about this time.
Zhao Lifan never thought that he would be able to see the crown gold here, even if Dr. Wang Changqin optimized the alloy formula, it would not reach the level of crown gold, at least not in a short time, even if the daily tribe did not do it.
After a while, Zhao Lifan's fiery heart slowly calmed down, he looked at the furnishings in the cave, and then looked at the crown gold in his hand, the expression on his face changed again and again, as if he was engaged in this fierce battle between heaven and man.
"Forget it, this place is obviously inhabited, and the fetish obviously has a master, how can I be lost in my mind by desire, but I can wait for the cave master to come and see if I can trade with him. ”
Zhao Lifan said to himself, but he knew in his heart that even if people were willing to trade, he didn't have matching items, forget it, the alloy researched by Dr. Wang was not necessarily much worse, thinking so, Zhao Lifan gently put the crown gold back in its place, and his movements were soft, as if he was afraid of breaking it.
After putting it away, Zhao Lifan took a deep look, and then resolutely turned around, ready to leave, he was afraid that he would change his mind, so he picked up the steel gun and walked towards the entrance of the cave.
As soon as he took a step, a look of horror appeared on Zhao Lifan's face, the tip of the spear in his right hand crossed the side of him in half a circle, and the thunder dragon talisman in the Seven Emotions Lightning Spear blocked his own vital point, which was a move evolved from the Purple Thunder Protector of the Nine Swords of Thunder.
"Bell~Bell!"
As sparks flew through the dimly lit cavern, there were two violent clashes of iron objects.
"Who?" Zhao Lifan shouted with a gun.
Before the words fell, the attack came again, Zhao Lifan hurriedly raised his gun to respond, and there was another burst of sparks and lightning, a few moves were fleeting, and the cave was silent again, and Zhao Lifan saw his opponent, a vague shadow.
The two have been going back and forth for nearly ten rounds, Zhao Lifan didn't see each other's figures at all, as if he was fighting with an invisible person, if it wasn't for Zhao Lifan's amazing perception, he would have been picked up on the ground, just now when the other party flashed through the hole, Zhao Lifan finally caught a little clue.
"Another Adept?"
He silently thought in his heart that the other party should be a person with stealth ability, and it was not completely invisible, but similar to a chameleon, which could make himself one with the environment, so he just leaked under the bright light shining in from outside the cave when he flashed through the hole.
Zhao Lifan pointed his spear on the ground, moved his left foot forward slightly, and responded with a false step, but the shadow that was so light that it basically disappeared did not attack again, but gradually became thicker, and the last gray-haired black man appeared in Zhao Lifan's field of vision.
"You're not from the Amazons?"
The old black man tilted his head, and the strange look on his face was palpable.
"Amazons?"
Zhao Lifan's mind was full of doubts, what kind of mysterious race is this, and how many such behemoths are hidden underwater on the Blue Star.
"It seems that there is a misunderstanding, this place is rarely broken into!" said the old black man, shrugging his shoulders and smiling, and then his bright eyes rolled:
"But it's not a good habit to casually break into someone's house!"
"Uncle, I thought this cave was ......" Zhao Lifan just began to explain, the figure of the old black man disappeared, and Zhao Lifan didn't care about speaking, and hurriedly responded.
"Uncle, listen to my explanation......"
"Bell!
"What's there to explain, I'll talk about it after I fight!"
Zhao Lifan knew that he was at a loss, and he played with his legs, and soon the two came to the giant ape sculpture fist outside the cave, Zhao Lifan used his legs hard, and jumped back to the thumb of the sculpture fist seven or eight meters high, he glanced down, and it was a hundred meters from the ground, and he was dizzy.
The old black man also jumped up with a long stick in his hand, Zhao Lifan didn't dare to deal with it like in the cave anymore, he had to go all out, after all, if he fell down with a slight mistake, he would be dead and dead.
Through the fight, Zhao Lifan knew that the black old man's martial arts were much higher than his own, and he should be on par with the ram pharaoh of the Sun Chasing Clan, and the old man had cultivated the foreign fist to a very deep level, reaching the point of copper skin and iron bones that Hong Tianlai originally said, even if he didn't use the stealth ability, he had frequent tricks and was imaginative.
The old man didn't seem to have any ill will towards Zhao Lifan, saying that it was a fight, more like a test of him, and Zhao Lifan found that he was a little sluggish when he used some moves, so he should have been injured, but even so, he suppressed Zhao Lifan to fight.
Since the old man had no ill will towards him, Zhao Lifan also seized this rare opportunity, the seven emotions lightning gun was full of firepower, and the old man fought together, the two of them would grab the stick on the giant ape's fist, and chase it on their arms.
Twenty minutes later, the old man and an old Yuan shook the vine to repel Zhao Lifan, and then took the opportunity to jump out of the battle circle, looking at Zhao Lifan with a look of satisfaction in his eyes:
"You kid is good, you have such profound skills at a young age, and this set of marksmanship is also world-shattering, it's not that I have good determination, and I will really follow your way. ”
"The seniors praised it in seconds, compared with your exquisite moves, the juniors still have a lot to learn. Zhao Lifan also put away his spear and touched his nose.
"Hehe, I'm old, now there's only a little bit of precipitation left in this age, don't talk about this, how about the kid do me a favor? ”
The old man looked at Zhao Lifan, with a little expectation in his eyes, he fought with Zhao Lifan for so long with injuries, just to weigh Zhao Lifan's weight and see if he could help himself, but Zhao Lifan's martial arts greatly exceeded his expectations.
Zhao Lifan was not familiar with the old man, although he had no ill will towards him before, but who knew what would happen after that, so he didn't agree immediately, but asked rhetorically:
"I don't know what the seniors want the juniors to help them do? The juniors are afraid that they will live up to the expectations of the seniors. ”
"Help me kill a behemoth. The old man said without concealment.
"Kill a giant beast, why do you ask the juniors to make a move with the martial arts of the seniors?" Zhao Lifan formed a figure of eight with his left foot outward, and began to be vigilant again.
"I'm a little injured, I can't deal with that beast alone, I need your help, don't worry, I won't let you die, just help me contain it." The old man also saw Zhao Lifan's vigilance and explained.
"Containment?" Zhao Lifan's face sank slightly, isn't that just a bait? The fish pendant was also detached from the tether and floated under his clothes, and only by using his divine sense unexpectedly could Zhao Lifan break away from the old man's palm.
The old man saw the change in Zhao Lifan's expression, and then looked at his posture of being ready to attack at any time, knowing that he was unwilling, it was estimated that he had misunderstood, if it was any other place, the old man would definitely not be reluctant, but he would not have seen a person in this ruins for a few years, let alone a master like Zhao Lifan, he smiled bitterly and said:
"Don't worry, Xiaoyou, I definitely don't mean to force it, and I won't use you as bait, if you can help me kill the giant spider, I see that Xiaoyou is very interested in the metal in my hole, and I will give it to you as a reward after the deed is completed." ”
After speaking, the old man's face twitched twice with obvious pain.
Hearing that the old man wanted to trade with the crown gold, coupled with the old man's sincere attitude and never fake, Zhao Lifan was not only moved, but a giant beast that a master like the old man could not deal with must be extremely abnormal, and he must not be careless, Zhao Lifan pondered for a moment:
"Senior, the ugly words are in front, if I encounter a threat to my life, I will not resist, and I will definitely run away as soon as possible. ”
When the old man saw Zhao Lifan say this, he was not only overjoyed when he knew that he had agreed:
"Haha, of course! Come, go to the cave, taste the wild fruits of this place, and I'll introduce you to the situation of this giant spider. The old man made a gesture of please, and seeing that Zhao Lifan's face was cloudy, not only did he take the lead in walking in, but Zhao Lifan hesitated a little and followed in.
In the cave, Zhao Lifan didn't really eat any wild fruits, and the old man would not force it, but introduced the situation to Zhao Lifan, the old man's name is Merlin, the ruins of the Adam clan who came a few months ago, and he came here for a silk sac called a spider called a colored spider.
Originally, everything went well, Merlin searched for two months in this jungle, found the nest of the Colored Refining Spider in the head of the giant ape sculpture, and was about to kill the Spider when his enemy also chased here, the two fought for several hours, the enemy was repelled by Merlin, but he was also seriously injured, and he was unable to kill the Colored Refining Spider.
Merlin lives in the cave below the lair of the Painted Spider, and observes the movement and hunting habits of the Colored Spider every day to see if he can find a weakness that can be exploited, so that he can almost recover from his injuries and kill with one hit.
Soon a month passed, Merlin's injuries had not yet healed, and judging by the time, his enemy was about to find help, and he had just come down from the head of the giant ape sculpture today when he heard that there seemed to be someone in the cave.
Merlin thought that his enemy had come to the door, and immediately used his ability to sneak into the cave stealthily, and saw that Zhao Lifan was putting down the metal in his hand, Merlin thought that Zhao Lifan was a helper found by the enemy, so he launched an attack.
After two moves, Merlin knew that he had misunderstood, one was that Zhao Lifan's martial arts moves were wrong, and the other was that although Zhao Lifan's strength was strong, he couldn't threaten himself, and the enemy wouldn't look for him to deal with him.
The reason why Merlin tested Zhao Lifan's martial arts and invited Zhao Lifan to help, and even paid the price of the crown, was to get the silk sac and leave as soon as possible, so as not to be blocked here by the enemy.
According to Merlin, this spider is huge, and unlike ordinary spider web hunting, it is spray net hunting, seeing the prey directly from the mouthparts of the silk web to entangle the prey, and then drag into its own mouth, its silk web is somewhat similar to the tongue of a lizard.
The two discussed it for a while, and went to break into the cave of the colored refining spider at noon that day, because this colored refining spider is out of the day and night, digesting the prey during the day, not encountering danger that threatens their lives, and will not spray the wire web casually, and last night it happened to catch a big prey, and it will not be able to digest it for a while.
