The conversations between Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi were all conducted through the team channel, and Yahan, who was walking in front, knew nothing.

This is also the benefit of permanent team building, as long as the teammates are within a certain distance, they can secretly transmit information, which is similar to the "transmission of sound into the secret" in martial arts, and there is no need to worry about being "intercepted" by the master.

Sealed wooden boxes, which looked like coffins, had been excavated from the rubble, many of which had been smashed and tattered.

Ahan stood in front of a wooden box and opened the lid.

A slight stench of corpses emanated, and in the wooden box, there was the corpse of a man.

Yahan investigated carefully, and Bai Xiaowen noticed that his thick eyebrows were furrowed again.

"Is there any problem?" Bai Xiaowen asked in a low voice.

Ahan shook his head and said, "No. ”

Bai Xiaowen just threw a puzzled look.

"I mean, this corpse is not right," Ahan muttered, "this corpse has been stored for years. The disappearance of people began in the past two months. ”

"It's impossible, the corpses that have been stored for several years should have already decomposed. Bai Xiaowen questioned.

Ahan was not angry when he was questioned, but pulled out a little yellowish powder from the wooden box and said, "The mystery is here." This is 'incorruptible powder', a gadget that many alchemists can make, which can keep the corpse from decaying for many years. Of course, it must be in a sealed environment to be effective, and if you open the lid of the box, the body will still decompose after a while. ”

Bai Xiaowen pondered for a while and understood.

The corpse decomposes, which is caused by the reproduction of microorganisms. This non-decaying powder should be a chemical substance that kills microorganisms, and in a sealed environment, moisture and air cannot enter, so there is naturally no room for microorganisms to multiply, and the corpse will certainly not decay.

Alchemy in the spirit world can also be explained in many cases by the scientific system.

Although Bai Xiaowen understood, he couldn't show his approval, but made an unwilling look: "Maybe it's just this corpse that is wrong, what about the other corpses?"

Yahan showed a slight smile, probably thinking that this unwilling young man was still quite interesting, so he led the two of them to continue to examine the corpses kept in the other boxes. Sure enough, the bodies in these boxes have been stored for many years.

"This ...... How could that be? I thought that the alchemist was behind it, and Hodge Town could be restored to peace...... How could this be?" Bai Xiaowen muttered, looking dejected.

Li Shuyi turned her back to her face and tried her best to control her expression.

Yahan was completely deceived by Bai Xiaowen's acting skills, and patted Bai Xiaowen on the shoulder: "Actually, you don't have to be sad." Voodoo is inherently an evil sect, and desecrating the bodies of the dead for forbidden experiments is a crime in itself. I would also like to thank you for helping Hodge find and destroy this cancer of Voodoo. ”

After a pause, Yahan continued: "You don't have to worry, I will take these awesome boys on the patrol to find out the inside story of the missing person case." I, Alexei Yahan, swear that I will find out the criminals and protect the people of Hodgetown. ”

Bai Xiaowen immediately said: "Mr. Sheriff, we also have to participate in the investigation! If these villains are not caught, I will not be able to do so." ”

Ahan said with relief, "From this destruction of the voodoo lair, I have seen your ability. I accept your joining. ”

Spiritual Rule Tips:

"Hodge Sheriff Alexei Yahan has agreed to your participation in the search for missing persons. ”

"You have obtained a special item: the Patrol Militia Nameplate. With this nameplate, you can walk freely during the Hodge Town Curfew. ”

"You have been granted access to the sheriff's mansion and access to the missing person case. ”

Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi glanced at each other, and they could see the excitement in each other's eyes. In this way, the main quest is on the right track, and the only thing left is to solve the puzzle, which is Bai Xiaowen's strength.

Next, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi went directly to Sheriff Yahan's house and enjoyed a sumptuous dinner.

Ahan's wife is quite beautiful, named Ginny, and she has a kind of beautiful temperament in every move. Ahan proudly introduced that Ginny is the pearl of the mayor of Hodge Town, gentle and intelligent, and was originally pursued by many young people with status in Hodge Town. It was only after defeating a dozen rivals that Ahan won Ginny's heart.

Of course, Bai Xiaowen didn't care about Yahan's wife, he was even more worried about what would come out of the treasure chest dropped by the crazy alchemist Norton. After dinner, Bai Xiaowen asked to rest under the pretext of fatigue.

Yahan's house is still relatively spacious, he is hospitable, and asked his wife Ginny to clean up the empty room and let Bai Xiaowen and the two live.

That night, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi sat opposite each other and took out the large golden treasure chest dropped by Norton.

Bai Xiaowen's hand pressed on the treasure chest.

This time he killed the Voodoo alchemist Norton, and the battle score was A, and Bai Xiaowen had 3 draw opportunities that would not have a bye.

This battle score is a bit low, because Norton is a level 8 leader, Bai Xiaowen is only level 5, the gap is very large, and there is also a key threshold of upgrading from level 6 to level 7. However, judging from the comparison of the strength of the two sides, there is no disparity of more than three times, and it is somewhat unlikely to get an S-level rating.

A full twenty gold cards flew out of the treasure chest, turned into two neat rows, and suspended in the air.

Li Shuyi ordered one first.

"You got a special item: the Frost Poison recipe. ”

[Frost Poison Recipe: Teaches you how to make Frost Poison, which requires Alchemist (Apothecary) level 7 to learn. Frost Poison Effect: Creates a frost deceleration field, and the movement speed and attack speed of all targets in the field (whether friend or foe) are reduced, and the value is related to your alchemist (apothecary) level, the higher the level, the greater the reduction ratio. The effect dissipates 5 seconds after leaving the Frost Poison area. 】

Bai Xiaowen's eyes lit up: "Not bad, not bad." It's a pity that my pharmacist level is only 4 and a half now, and it will take a while to reach level 7. ”

A sub-professional pharmacist, if you want to increase your level, you can only use a large number of potion pile proficiency.

Bai Xiaowen's focus was not on pharmaceuticals, but in his free time, he made a few bottles of potions and auctioned them off at the Chaoshen Pharmacy to increase popularity and advertise. Therefore, his pharmacist rank has not been high.

Making perfect-level potions has an additional proficiency bonus, which is also the reason why Bai Xiaowen, a half-baked pharmacist who is "not doing his job", can quickly reach level 4. As long as he dives his heart into making good medicines, a level 7 pharmacist is not far away.
