An intermediate alchemist?

Seeing the robe on his body and the badge on his chest, Lu Chengfeng couldn't help but feel a little strange. Compared to the countless warriors, the number of alchemists is much smaller. A formal mid-level alchemy that can enjoy double subsidies from the Imperial and Alchemist's Guilds. Even if you don't have to go out, you can live well.

Shouldn't such a middle-aged man be hiding in his own laboratory, immersed in all kinds of strange potions and materials, how could he have escaped to the depths of the Endless Forest?

Moreover, he also provoked the Minotaur tribe in the Flame Valley!

Behind him, at least four or five minotaurs were struggling to catch up with him. These minotaurs have big shoulders and round waists, and it would have been troublesome to run through the endless forest. It's just that the middle-aged alchemist doesn't run fast, and he is not as familiar with the terrain as the Minotaur, so he is gradually catching up.

Although he didn't know what was going on, seeing the middle-aged alchemist tripped over the stones under his feet because of his panic and fell on the moss in despair, Lu Chengfeng's heart moved.

Do you want to save him?

If it was before he was reborn, Lu Chengfeng, who was the prince of the empire, had an exclusive alchemy master. If there is any need, it can be summoned and waved away. But now, Lu Chengfeng was nothing more than a third-order little swordsman. If you can get in touch with an intermediate alchemist, it will still be very beneficial. At the very least, by buying various potions through him, he should be able to get a cost price.

Seeing that the minotaur was about to chase after him, Lu Chengfeng quickly made up his mind and jumped down from the tree.

The closest to the alchemist was a grayish-brown, bare-handed minotaur vanguard. They are not very accustomed to using weapons, and rely entirely on their own brute force to attack their enemies. Although he doesn't have any great skills, he has the skill of charging with one hand. If you are accidentally hit, it is very possible to break a few ribs and be thrown away.

At this moment, the minotaur vanguard had already raised its fist high, ready to smash the alchemist in front of him into a meat patty.

Just as it was about to drop its punch, Lu Chengfeng, who jumped from the tree, volleyed his sword in the air, drew a perfect arc, and slashed towards the minotaur's head. In order to ensure that this sword was enough to save the alchemy, Lu Chengfeng made a move with all his might, and the fighting qi attached to the sword even brought a dazzling silver light in the dark forest.

The Minotaur Vanguard immediately felt the piercing killing intent.

If it insists on killing the fallen alchemist, it will surely be beheaded by this sword. In desperation, the minotaur could only tense his muscles, and his right fist slapped hard, knocking Lu Chengfeng's long sword away. He also took a step back and unloaded the power of Lu Chengfeng's sword.

Lu Chengfeng didn't have the idea of entanglement with it, and after landing and standing firmly, he forced the minotaur back again with a slam of the hand, and at the same time picked up the alchemist who had not yet figured out the situation with his left hand, and began to rush away from the direction of the Flame Valley.

It is normal for an ordinary human to outrun a clumsy minotaur in the jungle, but Lu Chengfeng, a third-order swordsman, can run fast after he has enough fighting energy. Even if there was an extra hundred and fifty pounds of weight on his body, he still gradually threw off the Minotaur pioneer. After running for two or three kilometers, he found that the minotaur behind him seemed to be gone, so Lu Chengfeng took a breath and put down the dizzy alchemist.

"Thank you for your assistance!"

The frightened alchemist collapsed on the ground and gasped for a while, and then remembered to thank Lu Chengfeng.

Probably feeling that the danger had passed, the alchemist cut his hair and clothes, barely trying to maintain his dignity. Moreover, his face instinctively appeared with the reserve of an alchemist. just remembered that he was still in danger now, so he quickly put away this kind of reserve again, sincerely thanked Lu Chengfeng again, and introduced himself: "My name is Xu Mingjie, and I am an intermediate alchemist of the principality. ”

Lu Chengfeng didn't care about the change in his expression.

If it was a normal situation, the other party, an intermediate alchemist, would indeed have more status than him, a third-order little swordsman. You must know that many fifth- and sixth-order masters also have to work hard for an intermediate alchemist. For a third-order swordsman like him, alchemists generally don't need to look at it squarely.

"You can call me Lu Chengfeng. ”

Lu Chengfeng also introduced himself, and then asked with some curiosity: "Why did you appear here alone?"

Speaking of his own troubles, a little embarrassment appeared on the alchemist's face, and he said with a wry smile: "Originally, I hired a team of mercenaries to come to the Minotaur tribe to get something." As a result, a few fools did not do their job well, attracting a large group of minotaurs to chase and kill. Seeing that the situation was not good, those guys just left me and ran away. Damn, I'm going to give them a good look when I get back!"

Get something?

What could have caused so many minotaurs to chase and kill......

Thinking of the notoriously strange hobbies of alchemists, Lu Chengfeng suddenly became suspicious. But what exactly do you want to do is Xu Mingjie's freedom, Lu Chengfeng didn't bother to care, just asked, "What are you going to do next?"

The alchemist scratched his gray hair, laughed dryly, and said tentatively: "I'm going back to Kaiyang, if Your Excellency wants, I can hire you to accompany you for a thousand gold coins." As long as you send me to Kaiyang City, it's considered to be a complete task, how about it?"

1,000 gold coins!

For an ordinary third-order swordsman, the price was too tempting. It can be said that the alchemist's offer of this very generous price is to repay Lu Chengfeng for saving his life just now. If it is replaced by someone else, nine times out of ten it will be happily accepted. But Lu Chengfeng didn't care much about this thousand gold, he just frowned and replied: "I have something to do, I have to find trouble with the fluorescent cat demon, and I don't want to make another trip." ”

This answer made the alchemist panic a little.

He thought that Lu Chengfeng didn't think the reward was enough, so he happily doubled the price directly: "That's it, I can give you two thousand gold rewards." But I don't have that much money on me right now, and you'll have to send me back to the Alchemist's Guild. ”

"It's not about the money. ”

Lu Chengfeng shrugged his shoulders and said, "I need the bone powder of the fluorescent cat demon, and I need it urgently." Or do you have this kind of thing in your alchemy lab?"

"Fluorescent cat demon's bone powder?" Hearing this material, Xu Mingjie frowned, and then his face became bitter: "If it's another material, maybe I'll have it there, and if I don't, I can help you get it." But the bone meal of the fluorescent cat demon is really rare...... So what should I do? If I go back alone, even if I don't get lost, I will be eaten by the demonic beasts of the Endless Forest. ”

Lu Chengfeng thought for a while and said, "Anyway, this place is not far from the gathering place of the fluorescent cat demons, you follow me to kill a few fluorescent cat demons first, and then we will go back together." ”

"Can you deal with the fluorescent cat demon?"

Although he had some doubts about Lu Chengfeng's strength, seeing Lu Chengfeng's insistence, Xu Mingjie could only follow him. Probably because he really didn't know the bottom in his heart, Xu Mingjie thought about it, and took out a tube of gray-brown potion from the inner pocket of his shirt with space magic attached.

"What is this?"

Lu Chengfeng looked at the tube of bubbling potion with some suspicion, and did not reach out to pick it up immediately. Whether it was the experience before rebirth, or the memories of fusion after rebirth, he had never seen this elixir.

"It's something I invented recently, and it's going to be used to evaluate senior titles. ”

Speaking of his invention, Xu Mingjie became a little proud, he shook the potion slightly, and said to Lu Chengfeng: "Its name is called Ogre Elixir." In the next five minutes, your strength and fighting spirit can be greatly increased, and it may even rise to the fourth level temporarily. Of course, the after-effect is that you may go into a state of weakness for the next few hours. At critical moments, it can be used to fight for life. ”

"Is that so?"

Lu Chengfeng took the potion with some interest and put it away carefully. If it is really as Xu Mingjie said, the use of this medicine should not be underestimated. Although the side effects are obvious, as long as you can deal with the enemy within five minutes of the surge in strength, it is definitely a big killer.

"Let's go. ”

After greeting Xu Mingjie, Lu Chengfeng took out the map and calibrated the direction again, and then continued to set off with him.

With one more ordinary person, Lu Chengfeng's travel speed was much slower. Fortunately, it is indeed very close to the place where the fluorescent cat demon haunts, and Lu Chengfeng is not in a hurry. Alchemist Xu Mingjie obviously knew the danger in the dark and dense forest, so he not only tightened his nerves to the fullest, but also followed Lu Chengfeng step by step, for fear that a monster would suddenly rush out of the deep woods to attack him.

Not to mention, there are really such monsters that don't have long eyes.

Compared with Lu Chengfeng, whose strength has reached the third order, Xu Mingjie, an alchemist with almost no combat power, is undoubtedly easier to kill. Except for a few monsters, most of the other monsters put the first target on Xu Mingjie. Two times in a row, Xu Mingjie was almost attacked. Fortunately, Lu Chengfeng's consciousness and reaction are excellent, and he can always stop the monster's attacks before Xu Mingjie is injured, and finally solve them cleanly.

After being frightened at the beginning, Xu Mingjie also discovered that Lu Chengfeng's strength far exceeded that of ordinary third-order swordsmen, and his heart calmed down a little. When it was attacked again, it was less panicked.

An hour later, when he almost walked near a quagmire with a radius of tens of meters, Lu Chengfeng saw the prey he was looking for - the fluorescent cat demon through the bushes!

This monster is about the same size and size as a normal cat demon, but its fur is silvery-white, and it looks like a supple silver satin. Such a skin color makes them very conspicuous in the dark dense forest, and this is also an important reason for the scarcity of fluorescent cat demons. If it weren't for the fact that they had mastered the elemental power and could store meager magic power to heal wounds, I am afraid that this kind of monster would have been extinct in the Endless Forest.

Because of his very keen perception, at the same time that Lu Chengfeng discovered it, this fluorescent cat demon also noticed Lu Chengfeng and Xu Mingjie behind him. Suddenly seeing two people appear, the fluorescent cat demon's first reaction was to run away. But Lu Chengfeng's deliberately restrained aura, as well as Xu Mingjie, an alchemist with little power, quickly made it come to a wrong conclusion - the two people in front of him seemed to be very easy to kill!

So, this cat demon, which seemed to be beautiful but was actually as ferocious as other magical beasts, stopped gracefully and rushed towards Lu Chengfeng.
