There are many unknown mushrooms in the dense primeval forest. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

It's a pity that now Stephen Zhou's strength has plummeted, and he doesn't dare to die to try if he can eat it. In the deepest part of the primeval forest, there would occasionally be some loud and dull noises, and he could hear his liver plopping carefully, he was sure that there were definitely super-large carnivorous beasts inside, and the danger factor was not yet certain, but at least it could reach the level of 3.0 or more. (Note: The danger factor of the Earth Walking Dragon is 1.5.) ）

"What kind of monster left this?"

Stephen had not gone far into the forest when he saw some huge footprints on the ground.

Eighty centimeters in diameter.

The front is light and the back is heavy, the footprints of the hind limbs are larger, and the traces left are deeper, so it can be preliminarily judged that the center of gravity of the target is on the hind limbs when moving, the height is about six meters (judging by the height of broken branches), and the weight is more than ten tons. These footprints were left for a while, and it was determined that this was not its area of activity, but that it had come to the outskirts of the forest for some reason.

A strong wind blows.

Just as Stephen Zhou was observing the huge footprints in front of him, suddenly a black shadow rushed from the dense forest.

Poof!

Stephen Chow rolled over a little embarrassed to avoid it, but a sharp pain still hit, and a bloody claw mark was left on his back.

"Big cats?"

"Leopard?"

"Tiger?"

A quick glance at Stephen Chow didn't see his target, but when the target came again, he finally saw what was attacking him.

Lynx.

A huge bobcat with a body length of 2.7 meters, standing nearly 1 meter, weighing about 270 kilograms, with amber pupils, looks like a fierce tiger, and what makes Stephen Zhou even more uneasy is that this bobcat actually has two tails.

Meow!

Although it is a cat meow, its voice is deep and dangerous.

The bobcat in front of him pounced again with a miss, Stephen Zhou did not dodge this time, but knelt down and leaned back at the moment when the enemy pounced, and waved the wooden pickaxe in his hand, with a faint golden light, the wooden manuscript in his hand became like silver-white metal in the blink of an eye, followed by a terrible scream, the bobcat's pounce directly crossed the sky above Stephen, and the wooden manuscript disemboweled, and the blood drenched him from head to toe. Such a shocking injury was not enough for the two-tailed lynx to die immediately, and after landing on the ground, it took five or six steps before it fell to the ground with a bang, and it convulsed for a while before finally breathing.

"Sure enough!"

"The high oxygen content has led to the huge size of the animals in this world! A bobcat is the size of a tiger! Are these two tails mutants?"

Stephen Zhou first drank a few sips of blood to replenish his strength and salt, and then resisted the huge bobcat in front of him, and ran towards the outside of the forest without looking back. There are many beasts inside that are sensitive to the smell of blood, some of which can be smelled dozens of kilometers away, and he must quickly leave here to deal with it to avoid attracting other beasts.

Alchemists are not good at fighting, but they are generally in good physical condition.

In particular, an alchemist like Stephen Zhou, who is highly skilled in mining, may be stronger than many warriors in terms of physical strength and stamina.

Soon.

He returned to the makeshift base, where the smell of blood attracted some predators, but they didn't leave the forest and returned near the edges.

There is a unique biological chain here.

Many beasts seem to be distributed within a certain range according to some kind of rule.

..................

Stephen Zhou put the huge bobcat on the workbench, and in a blink of an eye, he finished peeling and dividing, his hands seemed to have strange magic, just kneaded to complete the production of leather, and then he plucked the hair on the bobcat and twisted it with his fingers to form a complete thin thread, and then selected a slender bone perforation to make a needle, and cut and made a simple leather jacket and leather pants after about ten minutes.

"I finally have clothes to wear and don't have to walk the birds. ”

Stephen exhaled, and then said with a bitter face: "Next time, we still have to make it according to the usual method, otherwise the remaining power will be used up soon." ”

As the most amazing branch of alchemists, Stephen Chow's powers are earned from his work.

In the work of planting, mining, blacksmithing, alchemy, etc., he can quickly extract the elements of nature to replenish the mana consumed by himself, and store it in his body. This kind of meditation method is much more efficient than that of ordinary alchemists, and it is also the capital that he became a legendary alchemist at a young age. According to his past data, at his peak, his strength was close to the limit of mortals. However, at that time, because he couldn't break through the bottleneck no matter what, he simply lowered his strength and made a demigod artifact with soul enchantment, and focused his research on a creature called [Shenini], trying to break through the bottleneck of mortals. But I didn't expect that there was an accident at the beginning of the plan, and I was cheated by someone, not only planted the blame, but was finally sentenced to permanent imprisonment.

Stephen Chow doesn't like to fight because it's too mana-intensive.

In his opinion, mana should be stored in normal times, and then wait until the upper limit is filled to break through the bottleneck and upgrade in one go. Stephen Zhou's body can store dozens of times more magic than ordinary wizards, but the consumption of fighting is also multiplied, often a large-scale battle he needs to farm for a long time to recover, the upper limit of magic power is too high and it is very slow to replenish, and it is too much to affect the speed of upgrading when used in battle.

He's an academic research alchemist, not one of those battle freaks who likes to fight.

The central tenet of alchemy is 'equivalent exchange'.

Even if it doesn't seem equivalent, it should seem 'equivalent' in some way, like a kilogram of gold and a kilogram of brass, and the top alchemists believe that they are equivalent anyway, believe it or not.

Whoever understands this has the talent to become an alchemist!

Most of Stephen Zhou's power has been exhausted in the space-time turbulence, and there is only one ability left at his disposal - [Change Matter] (form).

A handful of bobcat's fur.

You turn it into a ten-meter-long thread, but it's essentially a bobcat hair, just a little outrageous. (It doesn't turn into cotton thread.) ）

To put it bluntly, the abilities that Stephen Zhou can use now are as simple as that.

When he can turn brass into gold, it will be considered to have truly regained a little of its former strength.

Seriously.

All the abilities that Stephen Zhou is showing now can only be regarded as apprentice-level 'tricks' in the alchemist. Of course, this criterion cannot be applied to other indigenous civilizations, because the alchemists who can do this are already very powerful in the indigenous civilizations. And there is no one else who can use the trick so brilliantly except Stephen Chow.

The world is big, and the food is the biggest.

Although the shuttle in the turbulence of time and space has brought internal time close to prohibition, Stephen Chow is already hungry after being active for so long.

He was an open-minded man.

As for how long time has passed in the space-time turbulence, whether he is still in the original galaxy, or even whether he is still in the original universe, he doesn't bother to think about it, because even if he thinks about it, he can't do anything now. It was through the turbulence of time and space that the Arcane Empire had passed through the turbulence of time and space to reach the universe in which he had previously lived.

It's simple to start a fire.

Stephen Chow casually lit a bonfire, and then threaded a bobcat meat rack with a wooden stick and roasted it on it, he is a very particular person about life, although most of the alchemists are very homely, but they are first-class at enjoying life. Nowadays, there is no oil, salt, sauce and vinegar seasoning, and the meat of the bobcat still has a fishy smell, even if you are hungry, it is not refreshing to eat. Stephen Chow can only make do with his stomach first, and then figure out how to improve his life. It is not known what the situation of this world is, but a legendary alchemist can build a paradise even on the Death Star, and if he can't do it, he will bury his head in digging a mine for more than ten years and build a floating city again.

It's a big deal, it's all over again!

Now that the pits had been dug underground, Stephen Zhou naturally moved his position to a safe place first, he packed the meat of the bobcat on the belt, then put away the workbench, and then went down the stairs to the underground.

"Need a little torch. ”

Stephen set up the workbench and strengthened the walls around him with alchemy, then took out a wooden pickaxe and began digging for stones.

This process is much slower.

The stone was much stronger than anything else, Stephen Zhou's tools were not good, it took more than fifty strokes to dig out a cubic meter of stone, and the wooden pickaxe wore out very quickly. Because of the ability to 'change the form of matter', the excavated stone is still a complete piece, as if it had been cut with top-notch machinery, and Stephen Zhou first collected a batch of stones, and then moved them to the workbench to make them.

Stone Age!

Either way, he's fed up with these wooden tools, so he'd better upgrade to the Stone Age first.

Making stone tools consumes more power, but fortunately, it only changes the basic shape of the substance, not the inner essence, and Stephen Zhou can still bear it. Most of the strength accumulated by an alchemist like him in the early stage was farming, because farming was the way to consume the least and collect the most energy. The alchemists of the Stephen clan are very cautious about enchantment, as top-level soul enchantments will temporarily lower their strength level. (The level cap remains the same.) ）

"If only there was an iron golem. ”

Stephen Zhou sighed as he polished the stone tools, "Let the iron golem take care of the groundwork, and only complete the most critical steps yourself." ”

"Say. ”

"Where do I go to find some iron ore?"

Stephen Zhou, who has just been upgraded to the Stone Age, is full of longing for the Iron Age, but he is currently blind to the world, and he does not dare to run around. A bobcat can hurt him, and if he encounters another beast, it's over. He needed a lot of gold to reactivate the alchemy nicks on his body.

Time flies.

After making the stone tools, Stephen Zhou looked at the wound on his back, which was almost healed.

Alchemists have their own unique way of understanding.

For example, the wound on his body, first the skin was cut, right? And then there was a lot of blood, right? And then the flesh was cut open, right?

But.

He had just eaten a lot of bobcat meat and had already replenished the nutrients he needed to repair these wounds, so since the nutrients for repairing the wounds were satisfied, the natural wounds should heal quickly, right?

All right.

The above is actually nonsense, as a legendary-level alchemist, Stephen Zhou's body can also be regarded as one of the pinnacle achievements of alchemy.

Bang la blah.

As a cocoon of blood was peeled off, Stephen Zhou's back was as smooth as new, and there was no scar visible at all, he moved his body for a moment, and then picked up the stone pickaxe and began his mining business.

Stone is the basis of architecture.

Since there is no way to obtain iron ore in front of him, he can only hoard a little stone first.
