The magic core used to make magic potions is a kind of magic crystallization in the body of a monster called a lizardman, this kind of monster is a kind of social monster, usually foraging in groups of three or five, it is a carnivorous monster, not only animals and livestock, but even lost humans are their targets, lizards are huge, two to three times the size of ordinary humans, and can also use magic, and also have a high IQ.

Lizardmen live in the misty jungle in the southern wetlands of the land of Summer, this land has frequent rainfall, coupled with the hot climate, the jungle is surrounded by fog all year round, and it is easy to lose direction in the jungle, not only that, but there are also many magical beasts in addition to the lizardmen, except for some mercenary groups for bounties to set foot here, few people come to this jungle.

The sky was clear, the sun was like fire, and a man and a woman were hurrying on the plain under the scorching sun.

Jiang Li wiped a handful of sweat from his face, took out the kettle hanging from his waist and took a big drink, the refreshing coolness instantly penetrated his whole body, Jiang Li turned around and handed the kettle to the woman who followed closely behind.

Jessica, who was wearing light green leather armor, gently wiped the beads of sweat on her forehead with the back of her hand, her pretty face burned by the scorching sun was slightly red, and she looked pitiful when she panted lightly, and when she saw the kettle handed by Jiang Li, she smiled and shook her head.

Jiang Li hung the kettle back on his waist, buried his head and continued to hurry.

There are no shading objects on the endless plain, only the occasional breeze brings a touch of coolness to the two.

After walking for a long time, I finally saw a small forest not far away. The two of them were happy, looked at each other and quickened their pace.

There was a babbling brook flowing in the woods, and Jessica, who saw the stream, couldn't help but be reserved, trotted to the side of the stream, took off her knee-high white boots, and stepped into the water with her small snow-white jade feet, and the water that didn't reach her calves spread coolness all over her body.

Jiang Li also picked up the stream water by the stream, washing his sweaty face.

Jessica had stripped her pale green leather armor and was left with only a thin white shirt on her body, splashing happily in the water, wetting the thin shirt, and the indescribable parts of her upper body loomed but she didn't know it.

When Jiang Li saw the scene in front of him, he turned his head with a red face, not daring to look directly.

It seemed that he had noticed Jiang Li's eyes, and after noticing the gaffe, Sirika walked back to the shore, silently put on leather armor, and sat on a stone by the stream.

In order to break the awkward atmosphere of the scene, Jiang Li first opened his mouth.

"It's probably not far from the Misty Jungle. ”

"Hmm," Jessica replied softly, burying her head.

The atmosphere at the scene dropped to freezing point again, Jiang Li smiled helplessly, and then said: "Let's camp in this forest for the time being today, and let's set off tomorrow." ”

"Hmm" still replied softly, without raising his head.

"I'll go over there and have a look. ”

Jiang Li really couldn't stand this strange atmosphere, got up and said a word and fled.

After gradually leaving Jessica's sight, Jiang Li stopped and found a gentle grass to lie down.

The two spent an afternoon in such a strange atmosphere.

When night was about to fall, Jiang Li picked up some firewood and set up a fire.

After eating the dry food, the two sat around the fire, although it was very hot during the day, it was still a little cool at night, Jiang Li stared at the raging flames, and asked casually, "Have you been to the Misty Jungle before?"

Jessica looked up at Jiang Li, and suddenly realized that this clever and eloquent man on weekdays actually looked a little fresh and handsome when he was quiet, and then said shyly: "I came with Jason once before, and I came with a mercenary as a healer, but I was only stationed outside the jungle, and I didn't enter the jungle. ”

Jiang Li nodded, and replied thoughtfully: "No wonder Boss Jia recommended you to be my guide, but you haven't been to the jungle, how can we find that demonic beast?"

"Lizardfolk are nocturnal creatures, and at night they come out en masse to feed, and they always come across one or two, so you don't have to worry. ”

Jiang Li said disappointedly when he heard this: "I also plan to catch them all, and I have to catch them one by one." ”

"Although the lizardmen are magical beasts, they also have some human intelligence, and they are said to use magic, and I know your strength very well, but hundreds of lizardmen are swarmed up, and I am worried about ....." Jessica paused, looking a little uneasy.

"It's okay, I'm here, I can't hurt you. Jiang Li said confidently with a handsome standard smile.

Jessica nodded slightly, staring blankly at the flames, her thoughts drifting into the distance.

Early the next morning

Jiang Li woke up, with thick bags under his eyes, obviously he didn't sleep well last night, he was still not used to spending the night in the woods in the wild, after a yawn, he looked at Jessica, who was still sleeping not far away, and got up with his hands and feet after a wry smile.

Jiang Li walked to the side of the stream, bent down and picked up the stream water and washed his face, the cold stream water stimulated the pores on his face, and instantly made people sober up a lot.

Back at the camp, seeing that Jessica hadn't woken up yet, she muttered, "I envy you for having such a good night's sleep." ”

Helpless

Jiang Li used his magic to rekindle the fire that had been extinguished for a long time, took out two pieces of bread from the dry food bag, and then took out a can of cream from the storage ring, and the milky white cream was gently spread on the bread, which was a simple breakfast.

It's been a week since I've been out of the house, and I really miss the meals at home.

It was a moment before Jessica woke up sleepy-eyed.

"Good morning"

Jiang Li looked at Jessica, whose hair was unkempt and slightly embarrassed, and said hello.

Jessica nodded in confusion, got up, and walked to the stream.

Immediately, Jiang Li also took out bread from the dry food belt, spread it with cream, and put it on the fire to roast it.

Jessica finished washing up and returned to the fire, regaining her usual spirited countenance, Jiang Li handed over the baked bread with a smile.

"Thank you. Jessica took the bread with both hands and took small bites.

When Jessica had finished her bread, the two packed up their things, put out the fire, and continued on their way.

However, today's weather is not as sunny as yesterday's, with clouds covering the sky, and a sultry and oppressive feeling waiting for a thunderstorm to wash away.

Walking along the quiet forest path, the surrounding atmosphere becomes strange, and the originally hard dirt road becomes sparse.

Jiang Li, who had been maintaining a steady pace, suddenly stopped, and Jessica, who was closely behind him, slammed into Jiang Li's sturdy back.

Jessica rubbed her sore forehead, but when she looked up, she saw Jiang Li's index finger standing on her lips and said softly, "Shhh, don't move, there's a situation." ”

Then he pointed to a pile of bushes about ten meters ahead.

Looking in the direction of Jiang Li's finger, Jessica saw a lizardman about three or four meters long lying on the ground asleep.

"Whatever you want, you wait for me here, and I'll come when I go. ”

As he spoke, Jiang Li took out his sword and tiptoed towards the lizardman.

After a while, Jiang Li came back with a piece of light blue magic core with blood stains.

After cleaning, Jiang Li took out some blue spirit fruits from the storage ring, these grapes-sized fruits were the medicinal materials used to refine magic potions.

Then according to the refining method learned from the skill tree in Jiang Li's mind, the magic of a small fireball was ignited on his left hand, and then he gently put the magic core into a fist-sized fireball to refine, the magic core slowly changed in the fireball, and when it was about to turn into liquid, put the blue spirit fruit into it to reconcile, and when it was completely turned into liquid, the magic potion was made, Jiang Li took out a transparent bottle from the storage ring and poured the freshly prepared magic potion into it.

A bottle of dark blue potion was refined.

Jiang Li handed the potion to Jessica. She was immediately captivated by the deep blue, she had never seen such a pure magic potion, not only dark in color, but also free of impurities.

"This bottle of potion is for you. ”

Jessica's eyes widened. Exclaimed, "Is it okay? Do you want to give me such a precious potion?"

Jiang Li nodded and teased: "This is my first time, you have to cherish it." ”

Jessica sneered when she heard this, "you, it's not serious, but thank you for giving me such a precious gift." ”

Jiang Li scratched the back of his head with his right hand, and replied curtly: "It's just a bottle of medicine, it's not a big deal." ”

And this bottle of potion Jessica was gently held in her hand and cherished like a treasure.

After a half-day trip, Jiang Li finally came to this foggy jungle, Jessica followed closely behind, uneasily tugging at the corner of Jiang Li's clothes, Jiang Li turned around and smiled softly, grabbed Jessica's restless hand and said, "It's okay, I will protect you." ”

Jessica nodded lightly and let Jiang Li take her jade hand.

Slowly retracting his gaze, Jiang Li looked at the dark and deep jungle in front of him, and once again marched towards the jungle with heavy steps.
