The Small Evil Spirit Dog's Tracking, Genius 10Lv
Anyway! After more than a month, he finally completed his first small goal since coming to another world.
"Awoo..."
A soft cry came from the bushes more than ten meters away from the big tree where Tang Zheng was.
"It followed?"
Tang Zheng glanced at the location where the cry came from, frowned slightly, then withdrew his gaze and stopped paying attention.
It was that Small Evil Spirit Dog!
He had no interest in subduing an Evil Spirit Dog without any combat power.
Even an adult Evil Spirit Dog was of little use in his eyes.
As time went on, Tang Zheng would only become stronger, and the strength of an adult Evil Spirit Dog was only slightly stronger than an Ogre.
...
A dozen meters away, in the dense bushes.
The Small Evil Spirit Dog lay weakly on the ground, panting, its brown beast eyes showing a bit of agility as it looked at Tang Zheng, who was sitting cross-legged under the big tree in the distance.
Its limbs went soft! The Small Evil Spirit Dog staggered and collapsed in the grass, its ears drooping and its nose panting heavily.
Having been born not long ago, such a long journey was a bit too much to bear, even with the Evil Spirit Dog's naturally excellent endurance.
Seeming to confirm that Tang Zheng would not continue to move, the Small Evil Spirit Dog closed its eyes and fell asleep, exhausted.
...
Under the thick tree.
Tang Zheng took out a few water bags and some sundries from his Item Box and studied them carefully, a flash of Mana occasionally passing through his hands.
In the past few days.
In addition to killing Goblins and monsters to gain experience, Tang Zheng spent the rest of his time studying the use of Alchemy.
After this period of exploration, he finally figured out something.
After this period of research.
The only thing that could be considered a success was the alchemical solution made from the Poison Sacs collected from the Hanging Spiders he had killed before.
Item: Inferior Alchemy Solution
Effect: Made using Hanging Spider 'Poison Sac', a solution with a paralyzing effect, lasting for 3 minutes. (Cannot be preserved for a long time, the effect will be completely lost within one hour.)
This was the alchemical solution with an "effect" that Tang Zheng had created after consuming two Poison Sacs.
Fortunately, the Item Box had a storage function, and items taken out would maintain the state they were in when they were stored, so there was no need to worry about deterioration caused by time.
It was also the creation of this alchemical solution that made Tang Zheng realize that the "materials" used to perform Alchemy were much broader than he had imagined.
However!
This alchemical solution, like the alchemical solution made from Heat Grass before, had the "Inferior" mark in front of it.
It seemed that both of these alchemical solutions had "effects," but in Tang Zheng's eyes, they were simply semi-finished products.
They weren't even semi-finished products!
To describe it, it was like making a tomato into tomato soup.
The process was not complicated, just chop the tomato, add water to the pot, heat it to make soup, and wait for a while.
The existence of Alchemy was equivalent to directly turning the tomato in front of you into a bowl of tomato soup, omitting the process of adding water to the pot, heating, and chopping the tomato.
Of course, it was actually a bit more complicated.
Simply making tomato soup would lose some of the nutrients in the tomato, while Alchemy would be able to retain all the nutrients in the tomato and improve it to a certain extent.
But that was not enough! "A semi-finished product is a semi-finished product. Even if it has an effect and can be used, it's actually not very meaningful."
"It might be useful at low levels, but once the level increases, the effect of this Inferior Alchemy Solution can be completely ignored."
Tang Zheng shook his head as he thought.
Just like the alchemical solution made from Heat Grass before, the effect of increasing 1 point of health after drinking it was simply useless.
It would be better to give the herbs to Enfiliya and let her create healing potions.
Perhaps using more advanced materials or herbs could produce alchemical solutions with even better effects, but in the end, they would only be inferior semi-finished products, a waste of materials.
What's more.
He didn't have much money to collect high-quality materials.
"From the looks of it, it's the same as the apothecary's situation," Tang Zheng raised his hand and rubbed his temples, feeling a bit frustrated.
It was like wanting to make a fortune in silence, but only the "silence" remained.
Tang Zheng knew what the key was that he was missing.
That was a series of skills related to the Alchemy profession in YGGDRASIL.
Tang Zheng shook his head.
He wasn't one to dwell on things. Since it wasn't of much help to him at the moment, he would temporarily withdraw his attention from it.
The night passed quickly.
Upper Fire Moon, July 4th.
Tang Zheng, who was only 100 experience away from leveling up, suddenly became much more diligent.
The dark environment in the jungle had just begun to fade.
Tang Zheng had already picked up his sword and started moving. With the Forest Penetration effect of the Magic Item, environmental obstacles were no longer a problem.
More agile mobility.
Allowed Tang Zheng to quickly locate scattered Goblins and monsters in the jungle.
As Tang Zheng began to move, the Small Evil Spirit Dog, lying in the grass in the distance, quickly got up and followed. However, due to the obstruction of various plants and being far behind Tang Zheng's speed.
In just a few breaths, the Small Evil Spirit Dog lost sight of Tang Zheng.
However.
"Woof."
The Small Evil Spirit Dog shook off the dew on its body, raised its nose, and sniffed the scent. Using its keen sense of smell, it burrowed into the forest and continued to follow.
Bang! A half-meter-long Armored Beetle was kicked away by Tang Zheng, crashing into a thick tree with a heavy thud.
Whoosh ~ The tree shook, and the dense branches and leaves made a dense sound.
"Hiss--"
However, the Armored Beetle got up from the ground unscathed, let out a piercing hiss, and spread its thin wings, pouncing over.
Whoosh! "So tough!"
"As expected, Goblins are easier to kill."
Tang Zheng felt the strong wind coming towards him, complained, and quickly moved to the left, avoiding the Armored Beetle's charge.
At the same time, taking advantage of the Armored Beetle's weakness of being unable to adjust its body when charging, it crashed head-on into the big tree behind Tang Zheng's deliberately positioned location.
Bang! Another loud thud.
The powerful impact even cracked the sturdy tree, but it was precisely because of this force that the Armored Beetle was knocked to the ground by its own recoil.
The abdomen, unprotected by the hard shell, was exposed.
Tang Zheng's eyes flashed, and before the Armored Beetle could get up from the ground, he quickly stepped forward and slashed out with his Iron Sword.
Puchi!
"Hiss--"
The Armored Beetle let out a violent hiss, and then its body stopped moving.
『Gained 53 experience』
『Experience Bar: 9425/9500』
"The shell is really hard, ordinary Iron Swords can't cut through it at all, the weapon is still too bad."
"The experience given is also low, it's better to kill two Goblins." Tang Zheng shook his head and continued to search for prey around him.
In the lush forest.
The cold light of the Iron Sword flickered from time to time, as ordinary beasts screamed and turned into experience.
Only about 70 experience points left, but Tang Zheng felt that time was inexplicably long.
Bang—
A plump-looking wild rabbit was stepped on the ground by Tang Zheng with a dodge.
The gray, mottled furred wild rabbit thumped its legs non-stop, trying to struggle, but obviously couldn't break free from Tang Zheng's strength.
An ordinary wild rabbit gives very little experience, but it is enough for Tang Zheng at this moment.
"11:02, just right for lunch."
Tang Zheng raised his palm, looked at the time on the Pocket Watch, and showed a relieved expression on his face, exerting a little force under his feet,
"Finally, I can leave this damn forest."
Although more than a month is not long, if he stays in the forest any longer, he feels like he's about to become a wild man.
Pfft! The wild rabbit's head was crushed.
