Chapter 288: The Alchemist's Test
Outside the library door, Professor Eden was bending down to set up a short-distance directional teleportation magic circle, and when he finished sketching the last magic symbol with the powder of the magic crystal, the entire magic circle lit up.
Professor Eden patted off the remaining powder from his hands, stood up and looked into the night, "Are you ready?"
As soon as the night was about to answer, the sonorous rose beside her preemptively asked, "Professor, can you really only go alone?"
Seeing the affirmative look in Professor Eden's eyes, she quickly changed the question without waiting for an answer: "Then can you go with another person? ”
She thought that it was just a matter of collecting herbs, even if there were guardian beasts guarding those herbs, it would not be difficult for her as a thief! Stealth to collect herbs, and then use her sprinting skills to slip away, this is simply a tailor-made task for her! It is much safer for her to go than for the mage of Night.
However, the task she thought was a test in Professor Eden's eyes, a test for an alchemist, only if he could refine a master-level potion and have the ability to pick high-grade alchemy herbs on his own, he would be qualified to teach him the formula for the special dissipation potion, so he only asked: "Are you an alchemist?"
Of course not!
The sonorous rose was immediately speechless.
Ye Se hurriedly stepped forward and answered: "I'd better go, you stay here and wait for the cold light to come back." ”
She was also a little glad at the moment, fortunately, before entering this dungeon, she had improved all the skills that could be improved, including herbology and alchemy, and had done professional tasks and promoted them to the master level, so that she could be qualified to be tested, otherwise they would be stuck here because of a potion recipe.
"That'...... Oh well, you take care of your own safety. Sonorous Rose had to agree.
Seeing that the two of them had made a decision, Professor Eden stuffed a magic scroll into the night and said, "This is a directional teleportation scroll, you can use it to return here after you collect herbs." ”
Night thanked her, put away the scroll and took two steps forward, stepping into the teleportation magic array, and then the streamer in front of her eyes flew and was teleported to another strange place.
Observing the environment around her, she felt that she was in a valley, where the climate and soil were obviously very suitable for plant growth, full of lush flowers and trees, and there were many kinds, some of which she recognized at a glance, they were all herbs commonly used in alchemy, and they were in excellent condition.
As a master of herbology and alchemy, Ye Shi now has an urge to get all the light when she sees herbs in the wild, but at the moment the time is not right, and the place is not right, she struggled a little to restrain this impulse, and only tentatively picked one or two herbs before stopping.
After waiting for a while, the expected danger did not come, and she picked a few more herbs at night, but she still didn't find any unusual movements, so she guessed that maybe the herbs she picked were too common, but even so, she didn't let down her guard and picked them wantonly, only picked some varieties that were not in her backpack, picked a few plants at random for backup, and then hurried to search elsewhere.
Golden Flame Fruit, Grand Flower, Phantom Vine.
She had to take these three herbs back to pass the test, but these three herbs should be very rare, she had never seen the real thing, only read the sketch drawn by Professor Eden, and knew nothing about the environment in which it grows, so it took a lot of time to find it, but just when she was about to find it in a hurry, she finally saw three plants growing side by side, which looked like grandflowers.
After a long distance, the night found that she was not wrong, these three plants with small light blue flowers, which looked like some ordinary plants, were the grandes she was looking for, but just when she was holding the medicine shovel and wanted to come forward to pick, a "buzzing" sound came into her ears, she was in a pang of heart, turned her head to look, and saw a group of thumb-sized green poisonous bees flying out of the nearby bushes, gathered together, and the dark clouds rushed towards her.
To deal with such hordes of mobs, fire attack is the best way. The night hurried back as he threw a wall of fire spell in front of him, and soon the walls of fire were erected, blocking the path of the poisonous bees.
The intelligence of these poisonous bees is very low, they can't think of bypassing the wall of fire, and still fly along the nearest straight distance to the night, so they are constantly consuming their health by layers of fire walls, but they are all elite-level monsters, their health is doubled thick, and the speed is even faster than expected, just a few blinks of an eye, just before being burned to death by the wall of fire, they rushed out and flew in front of the night.
The night was also amazed at their speed, but fortunately, her ability to adapt to changes was still very strong, and as soon as the staff was raised, she used the Ice Guard, and a translucent frost shield immediately appeared on her body.
"Porphyry. ”
The poisonous bees slammed into the frost shield like stray arrows, splashing ice chips everywhere, but as if they didn't feel it, they cocked their tails and stabbed into the night.
The frost shield estimated that it couldn't absorb such a dense amount of damage, and the night didn't want to experience the feeling of poisoning, so before the shield broke, he cast another ice ring spell, freezing those poisonous bees in place, and then another flash, quickly narrowing the distance between himself and the group of poisonous bees.
It all happened between the lightning and flint, and the night was all about casting spells based on instinctive reactions, which seemed easy, but in fact the process was very dangerous, as long as she hesitated, she would fall into the circle of poisonous bees, and it was a trivial matter to be stung to shed blood, in case the bee venom had the effect of petrification or immobilization, then she might have to hang here.
The speed of the poisonous bee was too fast, and the night did not dare to take it lightly after closing the distance, first an ice roar smashed over, maintaining the freezing effect on the poisonous bee, and then she summoned the mutant phoenix again.
The mutant phoenix flapped its wings and spewed out a line of fire, burning directly at the group of poisonous bees, and the spell casting of the night did not stop, and continued to smash the ice and roar, so the ice and fire collided with more violent damage, and the poisonous bees were burned on their heads as soon as they broke free from the freezing effect, and then they were frozen in place, and so on and so on several times, and when they flew close to the night again with great difficulty, their health was also consumed, and they fell one after another.
Seeing that the last poisonous bee also fell to the ground, the night breathed a sigh of relief, and after recovering the mana, she took out the medicine shovel and carefully dug up the three light blue grandes, and then she was in the mood to clean up the battlefield, and picked up all the poison sacs and poisonous needles that burst out of the group of poisonous bees, and by the way, she also identified them.
The result of the identification is that this bee venom has a paralyzing effect and blood reduction damage, and the toxicity is maintained for a long time, and the general antidote can not completely remove this toxin, but can only shorten some poisoning time.
After secretly writing down the characteristics of this bee venom, she was about to leave, but she suddenly thought of something, and changed her direction and walked to the place where the group of poisonous bees appeared just now, and after searching carefully for a while, she used a medicine shovel to open a slightly buried mound, and found a honeycomb inside.
Open the honeycomb, the night harvested a lot of honey, beeswax, bee pupa, and a small amount of royal jelly, these are also rare materials, there are many uses, honey and royal jelly can also be eaten directly, in addition to the antidote effect, it can also increase health and mana at the same time, and there is no CD time, which is very suitable for saving lives in battle.
After satisfying the spoils, the night began to continue to look for the other two herbs, I don't know if it was her bad luck, or if it was set like this, guarding the golden flame fruit is a group of monkeys who are particularly flexible in action and extremely strong in combat, and the phantom vine is guarded by a group of birds full of anger and stealth ability, all of them are elite monsters of the same level as her, and their action speed is far beyond her.
As a mage, Night is good at group attacks, but this also requires teammates to cooperate to attract monster hatred, or the terrain is conducive to her moving card monsters, or the speed of monsters is slower, and now these conditions are not met, and it will be more difficult for her to deal with these monsters.
In the end, out of prudence, and in order to save time, she still took a trick, used the flying ring, and then used a wide range of group attack spells to bombard indiscriminately, very violently eliminated the group of monkeys, and picked the golden flame fruit, as for the group of birds, it was difficult to kill hard, so she summoned the water element to attract the hatred of the group of birds, but she herself drank the invisibility potion, and quickly ran towards the location of the phantom vine.
As soon as the water elemental appeared within the range that the birds could perceive, it was directly wiped out at a speed of seconds, but it lured the birds out of the distance after all, delaying their attention for a few seconds, and creating an opportunity for the night to approach the phantom vine.
After the night rushed out, she immediately used the flash technique, and instantly moved to the location of the phantom vine, and then she threw out a few high-level elemental summoning scrolls with her backhand, delaying the return of the group of birds again, and then took out the medicine shovel and buried her head to dig up the phantom vine.
It only took about ten seconds before and after, and when the various elemental giants summoned by the scroll were wiped out under the siege of the flock of flying birds, the night had already picked up the phantom vine and tore open the directional teleportation scroll that Professor Eden had given her.
The light from the scroll immediately attracted the fierce attacks of the birds, but the night in the teleportation state was now invincible, and those attacks failed, and she was teleported back to the library of the copy of Radarren unscathed, where she saw the sonorous rose that was waiting for her in a circle with an anxious face.
The effect of the stealth potion disappeared, and the sonorous rose saw the night that came out of the teleportation array, and asked in surprise: "You are finally back, have you collected the medicine?"
The night nodded, but she was a little glad in her heart, fortunately, she went to complete this mission, if she changed the sonorous rose, a thief who is not good at group attacks, I'm afraid the process will be even more dead, but then again, there is no task in the game that can never be completed, maybe this test is also based on the task person's profession to randomly refresh the guardian monster, she is a mage, so unlucky to meet the group of monsters.
