Chapter 215: You can't go there
This precious pill, known as the "secret medicine", Gordon had only seen it in stores in big cities.
The price is expensive, the supply exceeds the demand, and it is generally placed in a brocade box, and the clerk is careful to pick it up.
Its effect is very simple, similar to the recovery medicine, but the effect is very amazing, it is said to be several times that of the ordinary recovery medicine, and the effect is faster.
At the same time, it also has the effect of strengthening the physical fitness for a certain period of time, not to improve muscle strength or anything like that, but to make you more "healthy" and in better condition.
It is also very quick and convenient to take, and it can be said to be the best life-saving "miracle medicine" for hunters.
"Are you sure?" Gordon crouched down beside Julius and asked in a whisper.
"Sure."
Julius nodded seriously, "I have taken secret medicines, and I have always had one by my side just in case, these are secret medicines, and the quality is very good." ”
Gordon gasped, once again feeling that this village was extraordinary.
A monk who usually walks as a young farmer, a child who has mastered the alchemy of ancient dragons, and a sundries stall that sells precious medicines.
Calming down, he looked at the old man who was watching the stall, "Old man, old man?" ”
"Huh?" The old man of the dragon clan woke up from his sleep, "There are guests, do you need anything?" ”
"These are secret medicines?"
"yes."
"How much does it cost?" Gordon asked excitedly.
"Money?" The old man scratched his bare head, "I haven't used money for a long time." ”
The Dragonman girl whispered from the side, "The village of Synard is isolated and self-sufficient, so it rarely uses money, and barters a lot. ”
"Uh, what's the bartering method?"
"It's usually food, or practical things like cloth or medicinal herbs."
Gordon is a little numb, who goes out hunting with these?
The dragon girl hesitated, "Perhaps, I can be the middle and help you exchange it, and then I also have a plan to go down the mountain to practice as a hunter, and the cash will be useful to me." ”
"That's just right!"
The group discussed, and in the end, Gordon and the others bought the pills for less than half the market price.
The dragon girl and the grocery stall owner also felt that they had made money.
"When you go down the mountain in the future, bring more secret medicines, and it's easy to sell in big cities, and the price will be just twice as much, and you will have everything for the journey." Gordon said half-jokingly, half-seriously.
"Good!" The dragonman girl nodded happily.
After dividing the elixir with Julius, Gordon glanced at the sky.
"It should be almost time, I'll go back to the alchemy house?"
"Hmm."
When the few people returned to the alchemy house, they happened to see the fourteenth generation of Maca walking out of the house with vague steps.
He clutched an unrecognizable piece of debris in his hand and staggered to his knees.
"Lost, failed, reacted collapsed, refined, refined, exploded."
Everyone: "."
Nadia looked like she didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and her expression was very complicated.
Under the watchful supervision of the dragon maiden, the little fat man cried and gave one of his proud works, the talisman to Nadia.
Now it was Natya's turn to be embarrassed and offered to pay compensation, but the little fat man refused very firmly.
"Please respect the dignity of the alchemist!"
The departure time for the hunting ground was an hour or two later than expected.
But they all felt it was worth it.
Especially Nadia, if it weren't for the dragon girl still around, she was a little embarrassed, and she wanted to roll on the spot twice to try the effect of the talisman stone.
The dragon girl who led the way jumped lightly on the stone ladder that almost went straight up and down, and followed behind her, and the few people who were hunters actually felt a little struggling.
Especially Gordon, who is tall and heavily armoured, carries a steel sword on his back, and also helps Nadia share a bunch of ammunition.
He was worried that if he stepped heavier, the wooden ladder that didn't look very sturdy would ever break.
Over the past few years, Gordon has traveled the continent and visited a variety of hunting grounds.
Muddy swamps, hot volcanoes, barren deserts, dark caves, deep sea of trees.
But none are as special as Sky Mountain.
– The topography here gives people a feeling of "kneading".
It is as if there are two giant hands that can pull the entire continent, squeezing the continental plate hard, and the crustal changes that should have been measured in tens of millions of years have been completed in just a few thousand years.
Under the squeezing action of this force, the originally flat rock layers were broken, stacked, and raised upward, blending with the ancient buildings that once stood on them, forming the unique mountain of Sky Mountain.
A small amount of soil, vines, and low vegetation dot the dots.
It's hard to tell whether they grew on top of mountains of boulders and ruins, or if they bonded rocks and ruins together to form the peaks.
"Rumble!"
A boulder the size of a herbivorous dragon cart fell vertically on the slope of a cliff not far from the group, shattered into several pieces, and rolled down into the bottomless abyss below.
With a burst of reverberation.
The three hunters and a cat stopped vigilantly and looked up in unison.
This phenomenon of mountain rock rolling down is often accompanied by the appearance of large monsters - when the rock cannot withstand the weight of the large monster's tens or hundreds of tons of heavy footsteps, it will crack and roll down.
But the dragonman girl continued as if nothing had happened.
After leaping forward for more than ten meters, she noticed that the hunters behind her were not following and turned back to wave at them.
"Don't worry! It is very common for boulders to fall on Sky Mountain, just pay attention to dodge! ”
Gordon straightened his helmet and marveled.
Dense forests, sea of trees, falling leaves, swamps and wetlands, falling sand, you sky mountains fall on the big boulders of houses, right?
"How far are you from the target hunting ground?" Julius asked aloud.
The dragonman girl tilted her head and thought for a moment, and pointed ahead, "It's almost there!" ”
The group restarted.
It's almost noon.
The hunter's camp, carved out between the cliffs, finally appeared before their eyes.
At the entrance to the camp, the dragonman maiden said goodbye to the hunters.
This girl, who dreamed of becoming a hunter, but was not even a trainee hunter, did not ask for a hunt with her, which made Gordon and his heart breathe a sigh of relief.
Feng Ying estimated that she could do this kind of thing before.
The dragon girl who was about to leave suddenly turned around.
"I'm sorry, I almost forgot something important!" The dragonman girl tapped her head with some annoyance.
"What's the matter?" Julius asked.
The dragonman girl's expression became more serious than ever.
It's not the kind of maturity that I pretended to be like before, but a kind of caution and warning from the heart.
"Whatever happens, you must not go in that direction." The girl pointed in a direction, "There's a 'grounded place' that our people have guarded for generations.
The great monk is saying that reckless entry may lead to a catastrophe that turns the world upside down. ”
Three people and a cat:"."
"Seriously, you really can't go over there!" As if she didn't feel serious enough, the girl repeated two more sentences.
Everyone: "."
After a short silence, Julius said helplessly: "We are not the kind of people who are particularly curious, don't worry, we won't go over there." ”
Speaking of this, Julius paused, and then said suggestively: "Also, your statement is particularly easy to arouse people's curiosity, so don't say it again." ”
Dragonman Maiden: "."
