Chapter 427
427 Alchemy’s notes
“Let’s go, let’s hurry and leave this place!” first, it was the mutated fusion monster, then the demonized giant octopus. there might be more monsters in this underground base.
What shocked link the most was that he had already cut off a tentacle that was as big as a ten-pound fish. When he checked the octopuses, the guy’s HP didn’t drop. This was ridiculous!
This meant that only by damaging the core limb of the demonized giant octopus would it be considered true damage to the main body. Since these tentacles could be regenerated, the damage was not counted at all. A demonized giant octopus of such a size had more than a few dozen tentacles. If he were to fight it head-on, it would take a lot of time just to find its weakness and ” main body. that was definitely a stupid move.
The group quickly retreated and walked through the last section of the tunnel.
As the door opened, everything in front of him turned into a gray fog and he stepped on red soil.
all kinds of terrifying monsters appeared out of nowhere. the dark and terrifying environment made the underground base like a pandora’s box. you never knew what would happen in the next second. Even someone as strong as John and link had almost lost. This left the seven players with lingering fear.
After successfully escaping the underground base, the players couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.
The monsters in the underground base were terrifying and disgusting. In contrast, the monsters in the quagmire of death were so cute, lively, and lively.
link glanced back at the tunnel. he didn’t feel the occultic chapter’s aura. he walked to the pile of rocks with the others. let’s rest for a while, then we’ll leave the death quagmire.
It was already three in the afternoon, the brightest time of the day.
If he continued to stay here, the light from the death quagmire would soon begin to weaken.
In such a huge death quagmire, there might be some terrifying monsters appearing after the light dimmed.
Link’s goal had been achieved. There was no need to increase the risk for such a trivial matter.
Everyone took off their gas masks and began to eat energy bars and drink water to replenish their water.
In the entire death quagmire, only red earth could breathe normally.
The heat generated underground forced the gray fog into the air, forming a two-meter non-toxic space where normal breathing could be done.
Link also took this opportunity to call the seven of them to his side. He used his superb eloquence to convince them that he would be an important Minister in the future. He also gave them all the chicken soup they had heard from sunflower clock. They all had a bowl of it and were grateful.
With the last round of experience points, the seven players had all been fooled by link.
for this mission, the seven players had received a total of 100000 experience points.
Meanwhile, link had earned a total of 150000 experience points from killing jumping spiders, mutated Fusion Monsters, and other terrifying creatures in the death mire. He had earned 50000 experience points for nothing.
as for the new energy equipment promised to the seven players, after these kaz crystals were brought back, dave or helen could practice their skills, and the equipment made would be distributed to the seven players.
after everyone had replenished their energy, they put on their gas masks again and headed toward the forest.
The macaw specially requested to be at the back.
it suddenly liked this place!
because in crimson earth, no matter if it was the number one assassin on wasteland planet or the supreme commander of shandu, they had to lower their proud heads here. Only the macaw could raise its head and puff out its chest. This unique experience made the macaw feel superior to others.
“hu ~”
He had only taken two steps when a whistling sound suddenly came from above the gray fog.
zhui feng immediately reacted and quickly shouted,”that’s the voice, the shadow in the gray fog!”
Tang Jiu and the Prophet also immediately came back to their senses and confirmed Zhui Feng’s guess.
The macaw at the back heard the howling wind in the gray fog and felt the sound hovering above its head.
At the thought of the “Birdman” in the gray fog glaring at him, Fu’s face turned pale. He ran behind link and John and said,”This angle is good. If something pounced down later, I can get a full picture from this angle!”
Link had already switched to the heaven’s insight. Through the thick gray fog, he caught sight of a circling figure.
From the movement of the gray mist under the heaven’s insight, link could confirm that it was indeed a winged monster.
the gray mist formed two vortexes around the monster. this was clearly an air vortex that could only be formed by flapping its wings. other than that, link could only estimate from the traces of the air movement that the monster was around two meters tall.
Whoosh ~
Link summoned his whistle arrow and decided to strike first.
This monster had been watching them since they left the forest, and it was still watching them. Coupled with the fact that the thing could fly, it posed a great threat to retreating. Link had to test it out, or drive it away.
The arrow stopped in front of link, but he already had daggers in his hands.
john, who was at the side, immediately borrowed leng feng’s military sniper rifle codenamed ” evil wolf. ” he scoped in and aimed at the thick gray fog, locking onto the target with only his aura and sound.
The seven players all held their breath, their hearts beating wildly.
Link entered [ bug commander ] mode and silently fired the Sentry arrows.
after the arrow entered the gray fog, birdman seemed to have sensed something and dodged it immediately.
However, this Dodge exposed him to John’s sniper rifle.
The sniper’s muzzle was also equipped with a silencer. A low sound was accompanied by a wisp of smoke from the muzzle, and the bullet shot into the gray fog.
In the next second, the Birdman, who was locked on by link and John, disappeared from his spot. After a brief pause, he reappeared three meters ahead.
Teleportation!
Link and John’s expressions turned serious.
Monsters with extremely fast movement speed and spatial abilities were the most difficult to deal with.
The whistle arrow followed, making a turn in the gray fog and continuing to follow the monster. Link’s flashing dagger had also left his hand. It was just two meters in front of the Birdman.
when the birdman used his spatial ability to jump forward again, link’s dagger appeared.
The next second, a handsome face appeared in front of the Birdman.
At the same time, link also saw the Birdman’s appearance.
It was a standard female face, but the hair on its body had begun to resemble that of a bird, and the hair on its temples was like gray fog. The wings had traces of a human arm, but most of them had been completely transformed. a pair of slender and tight legs, but the bare feet destroyed the beautiful scenery.
The claws of the bird beast were extremely sharp and had some messy hair, looking ferocious and terrifying.
The smooth skin of a human was replaced by the feathers of a bird, as if he was wrapped in a layer of close-fitting feather clothing. However, it didn’t look disgusting or disgusting at all. Instead, it had an indescribable flirtatious and wild beauty.
After link was done “admiring,” he aimed at the Birdman’s throat and slashed down.
However, link did not expect that the injured Birdman would suddenly merge with the gray fog and turn into a wisp of smoke.
Just as she was about to escape, link cast a detection spell on her and saw her information.
[ harpy??? ]

link was stunned after reading the harpy’s information.
this harpy was extremely powerful. she was actually level 40 +(leader) and had an extremely rich set of skills.
link had just landed when he suddenly found a leather-covered notebook by his feet.
There were also three light gray claw marks on the front of the notebook, which looked ferocious and terrifying, as if the Harpy had deliberately drawn them to show her identity.
Link picked up the notebook and peeked at the yellowed pages. It seemed to be quite old.
“What’s with this notebook?”
The macaw pointed at the gray mist and said,”after you flashed up, this notebook fell down.” We also found it strange, so no one dared to touch it. ”
Link opened the notebook, and a clear line of text appeared on the title page. It was Grace’s alchemy notes.
Below the words, there was an exquisitely drawn scale that represented the essence of alchemy, ” energy conversion ” and ” conservation of matter.
“alchemy notes?” Link furrowed his brows. He didn’t expect the Harpy to drop this.
This was not a good place to read. Link put his phone away and called for everyone to retreat.
Along the way, the macaw kept asking questions like what the figure in the gray fog was and why even link didn’t manage to capture it.
During the conversation, the group passed through the quagmire of death crack again, walked out of the gray fog, and called the Blackhawk helicopter again at the edge.
on the way back, link, john, and his pets took one plane while the players took another.
On the plane, link took out the alchemy note he had just picked up and waved it in front of John. the alchemy notes that fell from the body of an Eagle Banshee. Are you interested? ”
John closed his eyes to rest, not even interested in opening them. “The first rule of an assassin is that the more you know, the faster you die. Moreover, it has something to do with you, link. It can’t be anything good. Such a good book should be left for you to read alone.”
John was also well-versed in the ways of survival. Anything related to link was definitely not good.
according to john’s understanding of link, this trip to the death swamp would not be the end. who knew what link would do when he returned?
The macaw at the side wanted to move closer, but link pointed at the camera chicken on its head.
Some things could be filmed, and some things could not.
the macaw sat on the chair gloomily, pouting as its legs dangled in the air.
Link flipped open the alchemy notes and began reading with great interest.
The item was blue in quality. Link thought that he would find some alchemy information when he opened it. However, the opening text mentioned the nuclear explosion in the underground base and even explained his identity.
—-
I’m Grace, from the Federation of farnight, belonging to the Dragonhawk Security Bureau’s biological research Department, Group Five. I’m a psychic Esper, a special researcher.
I will use this book to record what I have seen, heard, and thought in the ruins of the base all these years.
The cause of everything was the nuclear weapon dropped by the Fanke religious nation on the Federation of farnight. The underground Research Center located in the crater North of Shandu became the primary target of the enemy. after the nuclear strike, the underground base automatically activated its protective measures and all the heavy doors fell. i, who was studying the habits of living creatures in the caves outside the crater, was lucky enough to survive this research.
Although I wasn’t directly destroyed by the nuclear weapon, the cave collapsed and I was crushed under the collapsing mountain.
……
Link finished reading the first half of alchemy notes with great interest and couldn’t help but sigh.
The whole story was a bit soul-stirring.
If Troy was passively transformed into a data stream of consciousness, then grace was the one who took the initiative to transform into an harpy.
With her body heavily injured, she was unable to escape. In order to survive, grace began to study life conversion, transferring the life force of the remaining birds to herself. Although he had succeeded in the end, the price he paid was that he had become a half-human, half-bird monster.
After successfully escaping the cave, grace discovered that the entire meteorite crater’s ecological environment had undergone a tremendous change.
What they had thought was the radiation in the barren land did not happen. Instead, a leakage occurred in the underground base, causing the ring-shaped mountain to be filled with poisonous fog.
Having just escaped from the cave, the incomparably weak grace once again began her “path of survival.” She began to absorb and fuse with the gray fog.
The fusion naturally came with a price, and the price was that she would become one with the gray fog.
The gray fog, which was originally a deadly poison, had become a necessity for her breathing, and the oxygen that humans breathed in had become a new poison for her.
After that, grace became the Lord of the gray fog and became engrossed in the research of alchemy.
And through the will of the Queen of Banshees, she gathered countless unconscious corpses in the underground base to work for her, becoming an unparalleled experimental subject in her hands.
The Hanged Man in the Crimson Earth Gray mist was Grace’s masterpiece.
link flipped to the second half of the alchemy notes. it started explaining the alchemy rules and the cost of conversion. it also summarized some equations. Link’s greatest gain after flipping through the pages was a detailed understanding of alchemy. The core of it was the equivalent exchange.
The conversion of all alchemy techniques was based on the principle of equivalent exchange.
Grace’s alchemy notes contained many ingenious and creative formulas and methods. Through the fate threads and connections, she successfully transferred a part of the risk. She was truly a genius.
this harpy could definitely be called a master in alchemy.
This alchemy notes could be said to be the condensation of her life’s work.
Link closed the alchemy note, his eyes filled with longing. This notebook also recorded many examples of the creation of fused creatures, and they had achieved great results.
When he had 6000000 experience points and obtained [ the sage (1) ], this alchemy note would definitely be the best material for link to get started in alchemy. If he combined alchemy with his own Zerg nest, he might be able to give birth to even stronger creatures!
While he was thinking, the Black Falcon Transport helicopter returned to weeping Valley and slowly landed in howling Castle.
