Chapter 523: Dilemma
The sun has set.
Clarissa and her group, walking between the cliffs, cautious and cautious.
At this time, the road is a little dark, but people don't dare to stop and rest here.
The eighteen bends of the ghost bend are not in vain, and when they come here, it can be said that they are full of dangers.
The mountain wind blew, making a sound like a ghost crying wolf, which made everyone nervous, and gave birth to a chill from the bottom of their hearts.
As the leader of the "Thunder Mercenary Regiment", Clarissa leads the way in front.
"The terrain here is really treacherous!"
Looking at the cliffs on the left and right, Clarissa didn't dare to be careless, she had heard that there were many bandits in this area.
"I hope to be able to go down to the guò, and there will be no more accidents!"
Clarissa looked up with some solemnity, and a red bird was hovering and soaring over the cliffs.
This red bird is the young man's pet beast.
In order to minimize the risk, Clarissa turned to the teenager for help.
Originally, she thought that the boy would make things difficult in every way, but she didn't expect that the boy readily agreed.
With the talking bird sentry high in the sky, Clarissa's heart was somewhat calm.
Not long ago, she had learned the bird's ability to detect.
"If there is an ambush on the cliff, you should be able to spot it first. ”
With this in mind, Clarissa couldn't help but glance at the teenager who followed behind the group.
At this time, the boy was sitting on the back of the pig. The expression was a little indifferent.
"I really don't understand, what kind of teenager is this, in the face of the fight not long ago, he didn't react at all, it's really strange!"
Clarissa became more and more curious about the identity of Dongfang Xiuzhe.
Because she knows that if she is an ordinary teenager, no matter how calm she is, she can't be so calm when facing a life and death crisis.
Clarissa's attitude towards Oriental cultivators. It's quietly changing.
She's already beginning to perceive. This is no ordinary teenager.
I have to say that the fat of the pig king is still beneficial, because it will have a good shock absorption effect.
Dongfang Xiuzhe sitting on it. No bumps were felt. It even feels a little comfortable.
"I really didn't expect it. This 'alchemy' even implies the truth of the five elements of yin and yang, mutual growth and mutual restraint. ”
Combing through the newly learned alchemy knowledge in his mind, Dongfang Xiuzhe was pleasantly surprised to find that every time he combed and recalled. He will have a deeper level of understanding.
Just now, he discovered that this "alchemy" contains mutual reciprocity and mutual restraint, if he can master this law, then, even if it is just radish and cabbage, it can also be used in medicine and alchemy.
"It seems that the knowledge of the five elements of yin and yang that I have mastered can be applied to various fields!"
The corners of his mouth curled a little, Dongfang Xiuzhe was very glad that he still had the memories of his previous life after crossing this world.
The team was moving slowly, and even, as they went deeper and deeper into the "Eighteen Bends of the Ghost Curve", the speed became slower and slower.
"Feng Deng, let me ask you a question, have you heard of 'Menstrual Interrupting Pulse Cream'?"
Dongfang Xiuzhe asked with his thoughts.
At this time, the Na ring on his finger suddenly flashed the soul of an old man, which was Feng Deng.
"Is it the 'Menstrual Interrupted Pulse Cream' that has a strong transformation and therapeutic effect on the meridians?"
Feng Deng paused for a moment, and then continued: "This medicine, in the process of refining, needs to be divided into nine times, different dosages into the medicine, among which the timing of the grasp and the heat of different periods of time are particularly important. If you are not careful, you will lose all your efforts. ”
"Do you know how to refine?"
Dongfang Xiuzhe was taken aback, he didn't expect to ask casually, but he actually asked correctly.
Brushing his gray beard, Feng Deng smiled a little proudly, and said, "Although the 'Menstrual Interrupting Pulse Cream' can be called the 'Ground-level Superb Elixir', however, its refining is not difficult, just because the required materials are well prepared and a little complicated. ”
"Hehe~" Dongfang Xiuzhe suddenly smirked twice.
At this time, he realized a sentence: There is no place to find when you step on the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!
"Feng Deng, teach me the refining method of 'Broken Menstrual Pulse Cream', I must learn this!"
In Dongfang Xiuzhe's eyes, there was a glint of essence.
Feng Deng couldn't understand why his little master was so interested in the "Menstrual Pulse Cream", but he was not a talkative person, so he didn't ask the reason, just nodded silently.
For Feng Deng, there was no pressure to refine any grade of elixir of the ground level.
"Don't worry, I'll do my best to let you condense the entity, hehe!"
Dongfang Xiuzhe stared at the abundance in front of him with a kind of treasure-looking gaze.
Hearing this, Feng Deng's expression did not change significantly.
"After you have the entity, you can continue to refine all kinds of pills, and you can also learn the pharmacopoeia secret book I obtained. Dongfang Xiuzhe continued.
At this time, Fengdeng could not be calmer anymore.
For an alchemist, he will have a strong enthusiasm for alchemy and an inseparable feeling.
Feng Deng thought that he only had a soul, and he would not be able to refine any pills in the future, but the little master in front of him gave him hope, which can also be said to give him the motivation to save zài.
"Little Lord, this ...... Is this true, I can really continue refining the elixir......? I'm a dead man!"
Feng Deng held back his excitement, and the beard on his chin kept swinging, looking very funny.
"For me, dying doesn't mean disappearing, so don't worry, time won't make you wait too long!"
As he spoke, Dongfang Xiuzhe looked up at the night sky above his head, perhaps because he was in a good mood, he actually felt that the environment here was very good at this time.
If Clarissa knew about his idea, she would have rolled her eyes.
You know, this hellish place is for all mercenaries. It's a test of mental and psychological endurance.
"Stop!"
At this moment, Clarissa didn't know what she had found, and suddenly shouted.
The mercenaries hurriedly stopped, thinking that they had encountered the enemy, and prepared for battle one by one.
"Commander, what did you find?" at this moment, a mercenary leaned over and asked in a low voice.
"I always feel uneasy, as if something awaits us in front of us!"
Clarissa said with a solemn expression, at this time, a woman's sixth sense. Got a very strong play.
"What then. Shall we go back the way we came?" the mercenary continued.
Now the road where everyone is now, there is no fork in the road, only forward or backward, there is no third choice.
Shook his head. Clarissa frowned and said, "'Ghost Curve Eighteen Bends' we must go to Guò!"
If they choose a different route. Whichever route it is. It will take several more months, which is against the employer's requirements.
Moreover, Clarissa also wants to use this place to prove it. They are "Thunder Mercenary Regiment", and there is no way to pass.
"Hey, bird!" Suddenly, Clarissa shouted at the phoenix eagle soaring in the sky, "have you noticed anything suspicious?"
The red light flashed, and the Phoenix King Eagle rushed to the extreme, and in the blink of an eye, it had already reached Clarissa's approach.
"Hey, Cowgirl, what do you want me to do?" asked the Phoenix Eagle as she stood on the head of the horse Clarissa was riding, a little disapproving.
Clarissa was used to the problem of the Phoenix King Eagle messing around with its nickname, so she didn't care at this time, but continued to ask, "Did you find anything suspicious?"
"Suspicious place?"
The Phoenix Eagle was stunned for a moment, then his gaze wandered around Clarissa, and finally his gaze stayed on the two suspicious and prominent places.
"You bird, I don't have time to waste time with you, hurry up, is there an ambush on the road ahead?" Clarissa continued to ask with a blushing face, suppressing the anger in her heart.
She really couldn't figure it out, how could a teenager raise such a lustful bird?
Originally, she thought that "the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked", but after spending a few days with the teenager, she found that the teenager had no interest in her.
"I see a lot of human corpses in front of me, I wonder if this is suspicious?"
"What did you say?" Clarissa was taken aback.
After walking forward for a quarter of an hour, everyone really saw the corpse that Feng Wang Ying said.
Seeing these corpses, Clarissa's face became even more solemn.
Not only her, but also the other mercenaries became nervous.
The corpses in front of them turned out to be the same thieves who had planned to rob them not long ago.
"How did they die here?"
"It's so strange, it doesn't look like there's a fight around, could it be that they were killed from somewhere else and brought here?"
"Hey, look at the wounds of these corpses, they were all killed by a sword, and from the incision and perspective, it seems that it was done by one person!"
Inspect the scene to analyze the clues and finally come up with useful information, which is a must for any qualified mercenary.
The more they examined the bodies, the more frightened they became.
You know, they have seen the strength of these thieves before, although they are not very powerful, but they are by no means a rabble, how can they be wiped out lightly?
"Commander, what should we do now?"
At this time, the eyes of all the mercenaries were focused on Clarissa.
Clarissa felt unprecedented pressure, and she could tell from the wounds on these corpses that the strength of the people who killed these thieves was very terrifying, and if they planned to be unfavorable to their "Thunder Mercenary Group", they would also end up with these thieves.
Clarissa's decision at this time not only determines the success or failure of the mission, but also determines the life and death of the team members.
"What should I do?"
Clarissa stood motionless, and the atmosphere became tense like never before.
"Commander, we will support any decision you make!" said one of the mercenaries.
Raising her head and glancing at the rest of the team, Clarissa took a deep breath and sighed, "It seems that I am still too young. ”
Clarissa chose to abandon the mission, she could not risk the lives of her teammates.
Just as she walked to the carriage and was about to have a good talk with her employer, suddenly, a change of ...... happened!
