Chapter Fifty-Eight: A Pyrrhic Victory
"Damn, this meerkat is really powerful, it's so resistant with so many debuffs. "Kaichi leaned against the edge of the cliff with a long scar on his chest.
But Jiayi is okay, Cole is lying on top of the vine, clutching his left arm, blood flowing. If Ace hadn't dragged Cole a bit, Cole's arm would have been useless. The pant of "ho ho" in his mouth, although he didn't understand what Di Bar Fu in Jia Yi's mouth was, he finally solved the meerkat problem.
The only one here who is intact is Ace, because she is weaker, she has hidden to the side early, and she has a relatively strong shield on her body.
The meerkat, wrapped in the metal mesh that Cole had prepared, lay motionless on the ground, dead. The meerkat's body was covered in burns, grease, cuts, and small pieces of ice. This indicates that the meerkat suffered inhuman torture during his lifetime.
This operation really didn't go well. At first, it was good, and they managed to run to the set up location, although the trap was relatively simple, but at least it would not be more beneficial to the other party. But I didn't expect that in the end, I still got out of the basket, but the meerkat was too agile, jumping up and down, even if it was the bare cliff next to it, it could crawl on it freely.
After Kaichi gave the meerkat a cold wind, the meerkat movement did slowly become slow. However, when Cole injures the mongoose with a wind blade, the mongoose begins to seal. First, he almost completely shattered the shield on Cole's body with a single claw, and then came over to knock Jiayi away when he was backing up.
They tried to attack the meerkat, but they were all dodged by it. The ground was originally arranged with a mess of vines as tripwires to restrain the meerkat, but after the mongoose exerted its strength, it was completely useless. It was torn apart. After a messy fight, the meerkat was fine, and Kaichi and Cole were not lightly injured.
In the end, when the meerkat ran under the net set up by Cole, Cole tried to catch it with the net, and although it didn't succeed, it succeeded in winning a chance for Jiayi. Kaichi used the last two greasy scrolls on his body to successfully douse the meerkat. Then he reopened the net and caught the meerkat. After this, the wind mongoose was finally in a catastrophe, and was hit by several spells, and as soon as the wind blade and ice pick passed, the wind mongoose was GG.
Originally, Jiayi also wanted to use a fireball, but I heard that the fireball and greasy technique are more compatible when fighting monsters. However, he was stopped by Cole, as he would burn out the mongoose's fur. Although after this mess, the meerkat's fur is not of much value. But at least there is something left that is not, anyway, at that time the mongoose was already a turtle in the urn.
"How are you now?" said Kaichi struggled to his feet and walked over to Cole.
Cole clutched his arms and struggled to get up, but he couldn't use the strength of the wound on his hand, so Ace walked over and helped him up.
Cole said: "It's okay, just rest for a while. And thank you Ace, otherwise"
"You have to thank Ace a lot, otherwise you will become a Yang. Let's stop the bleeding first, use my medicine, the bleeding effect is better. Kaichi took out the potion he had made from his backpack and gave a bottle to Ace, while tearing off his clothes and dressing himself.
Cole let go of the wound and asked Ace to dress, while asking, "Who is Yang Guo?"
"Uh... It was a one-armed mage who fell in love with his teacher and had his arm cut off. "Jia Yi is nonsense.
"Why did you see your master's arm cut off? ”
"I forgot, maybe it's some kind of knightly novel, I guess it's not true. ”
"I guess it's nonsense to write novels, one-armed mages are so rare, it's impossible not to have heard of them. "Many spells require gestures, and generally speaking, one-armed has little room for improvement, and mages are either killed, but rarely disabled.
Jia Yi was not interested in popularizing the love story of Xiaolongnu and Yang Guo to them, and when he saw that Cole didn't seem to be able to die, he took care of his wounds, so he came to the meerkat. Although he made all the preparations he could make this time, he almost lost his staff, which made Jia Yi a little self-doubting. Could it be that the mage was really restrained by the assassins? At least there was really nothing good for the low-level mages to do.
The meerkat's fur is already very tattered, don't think about making it into magic equipment, choose a few pieces of complete fur to make a hat or gloves. But if you don't mind, you can still make a short coat by sewing the leather well, otherwise how do you make a small leather like mink fur into a coat?
Jia Yi didn't care about the meerkat skin, took out his knife, and split it at the head, looking for the demon core.
"Why don't you just split your head and make it good and sell it to the nobles as decoration, but it's a good business. And hurry up and take blood, you can make interpretation potions, and the teeth are not bad, although the length is not enough, you can't make a dagger, but it's not bad to make arrows, don't you have a crossbow. ”
Cole saw Jiayi's rough operation, and began to chatter, thinking that he had wasted too much, too uneconomical, but he was still injured and wanted to come over and do it himself, but Ace stopped him, and the wound was not yet bandaged.
Although Jia Yi has some understanding of the usefulness of various parts of the meerkat body, he has not practiced it after all, and he only thinks of the value of the demon core for a while, after all, this is generally the most valuable thing on the monster. I only remembered it now when I heard Cole's reminder, but since I've already done it, let's take out the magic core first.
In the process of searching for the magic core, the brain was destroyed again, which made Cole feel distressed again, according to his words, the brain is the favorite tonic of the nobles, they believe that the brain of the monster can improve their body and wisdom, and the more powerful the monster, the better. However, Jiayi is the average senses of the brain, and I think the fishy smell is too strong, and the taste is soft and creamy, not as good as tofu.
Probably because Jiayi doesn't have a tradition of eating pig brains or anything, so it doesn't matter if they don't know how to do it.
From the mongoose's head, Kaichi pulled out a magic core the size of a thumb nail, which was once translucent dark green, without much luster, a bit like a stone.
"No wonder there aren't many people hunting the meerkat, this demon core is almost all gone, it's life and death. Kaichi pursed his lips.
The quality of the magic core is related to the state of the demon beast before it died, if the demon beast uses too many spells and dies of exhaustion, then the magic state inside the magic core will not be full enough, is there any use for the magic core without magic power. But if you kill it too quickly, it can't be done, at that time, the magic power in the body of the monster has not been fully mobilized, and the inertia is strong, although the magic power is sufficient, but it is more difficult to use. Therefore, most people will not choose which one is equivalent to their own strength when hunting Warcraft, or they will kill it without any effort but find that the magic core is useless, after all, the most valuable thing on Warcraft is generally the magic core.
After picking the demon core, Jia Yi finally remembered to clean up the rest of the materials on the demon beast, first of all, the heart and blood, although there was no blood anymore, but some could still be collected around the heart. Next is the waist flower, gallbladder, then peel the skin, and finally extract the tendons. In the end, I felt that there was nothing more valuable, so I cut off several ribs and tasted how it tasted.
Cole took the heart from Jia's hand and said, "This heart should be preserved with ice and sold to those nobles, and they also like the heart, especially the knight's favorite." ”
"Why are they all sold to nobles?" Jia Yi felt a little speechless, just this meerkat, which can be sold with a head, brain, and heart, "Do they want meat?"
"They also want meat, but it's not cost-effective to bring it back, but things like the heart and brain are more valuable. The aristocrats are always like this, they like to eat things on the body of the monster, thinking that they can make themselves strong by eating something. However, this is also good, so that some adventurers have a lot of hunting profits. ”
Jia Yi shook his shoulders: "Okay, can you still go?" You go to Xiaoqing first, and I'll go and clean up that flower yak cow, it can't be wasted." ”
