Before he knew it, the time had already passed six in the afternoon. As the one hundred eighth Forest Wanderer let out a final cry and collapsed, the head of the one hundredth Forest Wanderer rolled away.
Yi Tianchen smiled with relief; he had finally gathered enough!
During this time, six pieces of equipment had dropped, all of which were of the same type as Ranger Armor—gear that made Yi Tianchen want to cry. He estimated that once he returned to town, they would be immediately tossed into the System shop.
Looking angry, setting up a stall was just too much!
Leaning on his sword, Yi Tianchen gazed into the distance. Not far ahead was a small hill, and the setting sun was nearly level with its slope. Strangely enough, at this moment, the forest was even brighter than it had been at five o'clock.
Climbing up the hill, he found himself surrounded by dense woods reflecting a mesmerizing golden glow under the sunset. In the midst of it all, a wisp of smoke floated upwards, dancing in the wind like a wild creature.
Yi Tianchen smiled slightly but suddenly widened his eyes in disbelief, staring at the smoke as if struck by a thunderbolt. How could there be smoke in this desolate and secluded misty forest?
His heart raced uncontrollably. Yi Tianchen quickly sprinted down with Wild Fury in tow. As he approached, he found an open area where a simple wooden cabin stood awkwardly between several large trees.
Upon closer inspection, he noticed a cauldron set up in front of the cabin. Flames were roaring beneath it, crackling and popping incessantly.
Yi Tianchen was taken aback, feeling utterly astonished!
He hurried to the outside of the cabin and casually glanced at the cauldron. Inside was filled to the brim with a dark liquid that bubbled violently, releasing an incredibly foul odor.
As the black liquid churned, some eerie white bones emerged. Yi Tianchen even spotted a human arm whose skin had been boiled away; a section of white bone protruded from it, causing him to shudder violently as nausea surged within him.
Without thinking further, Yi Tianchen quickly turned around...
It was clear that this place was definitely not safe. He thought to himself that it would be best to leave quietly while no one noticed—sweep away any traces without leaving a single mark!
But just at that moment...
"A guest from afar, why do you rush into my laboratory without even greeting your host?" A sinister voice echoed from within the wooden cabin.
Yi Tianchen's heart skipped a beat; this was definitely not the voice of a player.
He slowly turned around to see a figure completely shrouded in a black robe standing at the door of the cabin, exuding an extreme sense of mystery that sent chills down his spine.
In one hand, he held a black staff that towered over him, and his cold eyes glowed with an eerie blue light, chilling Yi Tianchen to the core.
Driven by intense curiosity, Yi Tianchen discreetly cast Identification Technique, and a stream of data instantly appeared before him—
Evil Alchemist Zazali: Silver BOSS level monster (Undead)
Level: 35
Magic Attack: 1050-1520
Defense: 500
Health Points: 90000/90000
Magic Points: 15000/15000
Skills: [Necromancy Lv-3] [Corrosive Magic Arrow Lv-3] [Dark Mist Lv-3] [Toxin Spread Lv-3]
Notes: Once a great alchemist among human warriors, he was infected while attempting to neutralize an evil toxin. To control its spread, he chose to take his own life. However, his soul was tainted by the evil toxin and, over countless years, he ultimately fell into the abyss of undeath. Yet he retained his identity as an alchemist and became an evil alchemist, finding joy in researching various malevolent potions and using passing villagers and hunters as test subjects, poisoning them while robbing them blind.
Primary Attack Method: Using powerful dark magic to inflict corrosive dark toxin damage on a single target, guaranteed to cause continuous corrosion damage.
Primary Weak Points: Throat, chest, eyes, abdomen.
Looking at the introduction, Yi Tianchen knew that this was indeed his mission target, but he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. He stole a glance at the Cauldron, his heart nearly leaping out of his mouth!
"Oh? My distant guest, you seem quite frightened?" Evil Alchemist Zazali let out a chilling laugh.
"No!"
Yi Tianchen's body tensed as he silently encouraged himself. Clearly, the more afraid he was at this moment, the more futile it would be. The best approach was to stand tall and at least maintain a commanding presence.
Otherwise, if something truly happened, it would be hard to handle!
Moreover, even if he took a thousand steps back, the current Sazali, though evil, was just a level 35 Silver Boss. Whether Yi Tianchen would be thrown into that Cauldron or whether he would fill Yi Tianchen's experience bar was still an outcome worth questioning.
"That's good!"
Evil Alchemist Zazali stepped forward with his staff and sniffed vigorously in Yi Tianchen's direction, exclaiming in delight, "Oh! My God! What a familiar scent! It seems my distant guest has brought me what I need!"
Yi Tianchen was slightly taken aback; what Evil Alchemist Zazali referred to must be those 100 Wanderer's Heads.
Nodding, Yi Tianchen mustered his courage and approached. He took out all 100 Wanderer's Heads and piled them up into a small mountain in front of the wooden hut.
"Exactly 100, not one more, not one less!"
"Well... my distant guest, thank you very much for your help. As a reward for you, here are your rewards!" Evil Alchemist Zazali nodded, his tone still cold and eerie.
At the same time---
System Notification: You have given 100 Wanderer's Heads to Evil Alchemist Zazali and received 250,000 experience points, 12 gold coins, and 50 reputation points; additionally, you have received the item Corrosive Potion ×5!
System Notification: Congratulations! You have reached level 27 and gained 5 free attribute points!
Yi Tianchen was taken aback as a golden light enveloped him, successfully leveling up to level 27. In addition, he had five bottles of Corrosive Potion, which sounded promising just by the name.
He quickly opened his inventory, and five bottles of glowing green potion came into view—
【Corrosive Potion】: A special potion that can be applied to weapons. When attacking a target, it transfers a corrosive effect to the target, reducing all attributes by 30% for 30 seconds!
"Uh..."
Yi Tianchen couldn't help but be stunned; this Corrosive Potion was indeed a treasure!
For a moment, Yi Tianchen felt less fearful of this mysterious and strange character before him. After all, it was just a quest NPC; worrying about it seemed unnecessary.
Evil Alchemist Zazali collected the 100 Wanderer's Heads and said to Yi Tianchen, "My distant guest, although you have brought me the Wanderer's Heads, there is still one thing missing!"
Yi Tianchen was taken aback.
