Su Bai quickly calmed down. Although he hadn’t anticipated that his first job would turn out like this, the interests involved were indeed quite complex. He promptly informed Su Yun’er about the situation.
Fortunately, Su Yun’er was very understanding. She said, “It’s quite normal for them to have such cautious thoughts. In that case, let me know when you’re free, and we’ll go there together.”
Su Bai agreed and he was accompanied by several Alchemists to Mount Tragic this time. After all, the matter of Mount Tragic had to be handled by Alchemists.
After careful consideration, Su Bai realized that he had a good number of people available at the moment. Especially after establishing his base, the first thing he did was recruit two more individuals.
Su Bai rubbed his chin and, after confirming the time with Su Yun’er, he immersed himself in his base. He wanted to set up a new small room for himself. The room was intended to be a place for alchemical refinement.
At this moment, Murong Xue came out of her training, and with great interest, followed Su Bai into an empty room. She asked, “What do you want to transform this room into?”
Su Bai nodded and said, “That’s right, I want to turn it into a chemical lab.
“You want to practice medicine?” Murong Xue asked.
Although Murong Xue knew that Su Bai was multi-talented, she couldn’t imagine that he would be interested in medicine.
“Doesn’t that mean you’ll need to recruit some teammates who specialize in medicine?” Murong Xue asked.
Su Bai nodded. It was true that he would need experts in medicine and potion-making in the future. He said, “I haven’t fully grasped the principles behind it vet.”
Su Bai was always cautious. He had just started learning the basics of Alchemy. The notion of fully relying on medicine and potion-making to sustain a living was somewhat extravagant. He was well aware of his current level.
Su Bai needed to study the machines and equipment related to medicine and potion making, but he could easily create those himself.
Su Bai decided to squat directly in the empty room and began constructing an alchemical apparatus according to his needs. Fortunately, he was able to create these devices himself. The simplified books also listed the necessary equipment.
Su Bai felt that this time, things were relatively easier for him. However, just as he finished researching one alchemical device, his phone suddenly rang. It was none other than Han Zhengzhi and his group.
The alert of the phone was connected to the monitoring devices Su Bai had set up in Mount Tragic. He cleared his throat and headed to the lounge, calling Murong Xue, Bing Qingqing, and others.
“We need to head to Mount Tragic this time. Han Zhengzhi and his team are coming,” Su Bai said.
Su Bai didn’t know why Han Zhengzhi had come this time because Han Zhengzhi had already been removed from the Seadaemon City’s Beastmaster Association.
Su Bai knew that Han Zhengzhi must have a lot of power behind him to be able to get to where he was today. This time, Han Zhengzhi was determined to take down the entire Mount Tragic and Su Bai would not give him the chance.
Lu Le, Bing Qingqing, and Murong Xue were waiting for Su Bai at the door.
After Su Bai briefly explained to Yan Xuan and the others, the entire base was handed over to them. Su Bai and the others went out to take orders while Yan Xuan and the others continued to develop weapons.
The few of them drove straight to the foot of Mount Tragic. Su Bai said, “Han
Zhengzhi and the others haven’t come yet. We’ll wait here.”
Since Su Bai’s base was closer to Han Zhengzhi, Su Bai and the others would be able to detect it when Han Zhengzhi made a move.
“I didn’t expect Han Zhengzhi and the others to be so persistent. They still want to get Mount Tragic even at this stage. Isn’t this equivalent to going against the Seadaemon City?”
Su Bai rubbed his chin. It felt like that, but it didn’t feel right. He pondered, ‘If
Han Zhengzhi had a powerful background, he wouldn’t dare to be so pompous. Or perhaps, he had already found a way out for himself. However, whether Han
Zhenghzi could retreat depended on himself.’
Su Bai humphed, “This time, we’ll get rid of Han Zhengzhi.”
At the same time, Su Bai wanted to see how much his teammates had improved.
“If Han Zhengzhi is taken care of this time, shouldn’t we be aware of the Seadaemon City?” Lu Le asked as he shrugged.
Bing Qingqing thought of something else. She asked, “Speaking of which, can we get more money after we get rid of Han Zhengzhi? After all, he was a traitor to the Beastmaster Association!”
Su Bai smiled and said, “You’re overthinking. This is within the scope of protecting the villagers of Mount Tragic.”
Bing Qingqing stuck out her tongue.
While they were chatting, Han Zhengzhi brought his men over.
Su Bai squinted his eyes and said, “I didn’t expect you to come so quickly without any dilly-dallying.”
Han Zhengzhi sneered, “Don’t think that just because you defeated me once, you’ll be able to do it again this time.”
Su Bai examined Han Zhengzhi from head to toe, scrutinizing him. He felt that
Han Zhengzhi had indeed changed and asked, “Did you consume an elixir?”
There was not a single wound on Han Zhengzhi’s body. He had recovered rapidly as if the injuries Su Bai had inflicted on him had never existed.
However, Su Bai knew that for Han Zhengzhi to fully recover from the injuries he inflicted, he would require at least ten days of rest and recovery. So, Han Zhengzhi must have consumed something to bounce back so quickly.
“That’s none of your concern,” Han Zhengzhi said disdainfully, summoning his Beast. This time, it wasn’t the same wolf as before. He had summoned a Darkspike Armadillo, a Beast that had reached Silver level.
Su Bai furrowed his brows and thought, ‘The Darkspike Armadillo looked like a Monster as well, but its strength had reached the Upper-3 Silver level. It was no match for Su Bail s own Qiongqi.
“You’ve wasted Qiongqi in your hands. This time, I not only want to reclaim Mount Tragic, but I also want to take your Qiongqi!” Han Zhengzhi spoke with an air of confidence, which only made Su Bai more suspicious.
Apart from Han Zhengzhi, his companions were also acting arrogantly. There was a spiritual-type, as well as spatial-type, earth-type, wood-type, and fire-type among them.
Su Bai looked at the numerous demonic Beasts before him. He couldn’t help but feel conflicted. His concerns weren’t about whether he could defeat them, but rather whether Murong Xue, Bing Qingqing, and the others could defeat them.
Apart from Han Zhengzhi’s Darkspike Armadillo, the rest of the Beasts were either at Gold-level or Platinum-level. Their strength greatly surpassed the Beasts that Murong Xue and the others had.
Even if both sides were at Platinum-level, Monsters were typically stronger than Beasts.
Su Bai was somewhat worried, but he still had Murong Xue and the others step forward and said, “Go ahead, you guys..”
