Chapter 36: Kill Him
Translator: Lordbluefire
$15,000!
After opening up the page, Lu Yuan saw the price, and his heart sank slightly.
This price was almost twice that of recovery potions.
It was really expensive.
He then looked at the introduction.
To probational fighters, common-grade speed-enhancement potions could increase one’s speed by about 20%. However, as every gene fighter placed emphasis on different aspects, the effects would have minor differences.
Lu Yuan raised his brows slightly.
The Blackiron Body he had now could increase his speed by a small scale. Compared to those who had engraved and recorded common-grade speed-type genes, the difference wasn’t that much.
If the increment was about 20%, it should be able to make him comparable to gene fighters with common-grade speed-type genes of the same level. He might even be slightly faster.
It wasn’t bad.
However, common-grade speed-type fighters weren’t a threat to Lu Yuan.
Was buying this thing really necessary?
Lu Yuan thought about it for a while and tapped open the fine-grade speed-enhancement potions at the side.
......
$50,000.
When Lu Yuan saw the price, his lips twitched.
“These alchemists are too good at earning money. One potion alone costs $50,000. Will one gain immortality from drinking it?”
He complained and then read the effects.
Fine-grade potions could increase one’s speed by about 50%.
His eyes gleamed. “The increment is quite good.”
With a fine-grade potion that could increase his speed by 50%, his speed would be considered not bad.
If he were to encounter danger, he’d have quite a high chance of escaping.
But the price...
Lu Yuan hesitated for a moment but eventually still chose to add it into his cart.
A bottle of fine-grade speed-enhancement potion $50,000, a bottle of fine-grade recovery potion $30,000, and a bottle of common-grade recovery potion $8,000.
The three bottles of potions totaled to $88,000.
Right now, Lu Yuan was only left with slightly over $30,000.
Since he had to keep aside $10,000 to purchase a map of the Sandstone Underground Palace, he still had $20,000 or so to use.
Lu Yuan gave it some thought and eventually chose to get a defense-enhancement potion.
Defense was his strongest trait. If he were to encounter a powerful ferocious beast, increasing his defense might make it impossible for it to break through his defenses. Maybe he might even be able to defeat the beast.
The price of a common-grade defense-enhancement potion was $10,000, slightly cheaper than speed-enhancement potions.
However, a fine-grade potion would cost $35,000. It was still very expensive.
Given the money Lu Yuan had, he wasn’t able to buy fine-grade potions.
He thought about it and purchased two bottles of common-grade defense-enhancement potions.
In the end, he spent $108,000 on five bottles of potions.
“Payment has been made. The order will be sent today.”
Lu Yuan looked at the message that popped out and broke into a smile.
If that was the case, they might be able to arrive in time for his trip to the Land of Origins today.
Thereafter, Lu Yuan spent another $10,000 and purchased a map of the Sandstone Underground Palace.
After his preparations were done, Lu Yuan didn’t head to Daming Dojo to cultivate his physical training techniques. Instead, he stayed at home to absorb spirit crystals.
After all, he lived in the slums and there was no one to receive his parcels for him.
What if the potions he bought couldn’t reach him?
He had spent almost all of his money to buy them!
In the evening, the delivery arrived.
The recovery potions were a light red color, the defense-enhancement potions were a light black color, and the speed-enhancement potion was a light green color. They were stored in crystal bottles and looked quite nice.
Lu Yuan carefully put all three types of potions into his battle tattoo space. He’d be able to use them at any time in the future.
Time passed by very quickly.
During the day, Lu Yuan worked on absorbing the spirit crystals gradually and raised his refinement rate by another 1%.
His refinement rate had now reached 11%.
At 8 pm, the door of light to the Land of Origins was completely recovered.
Lu Yuan used his consciousness to get into contact with the door of light and then disappeared from the simple room, entering the Land of Origins.
…
In the Sandstone Underground Palace, Lu Yuan appeared out of nowhere.
The place he appeared in was the spot from which he had left the Land of Origins the day before.
Candlelights were burning in the passageway, the lights a little dim.
After Lu Yuan appeared, a few pieces of stones from piles of stone at the side came shooting toward him.
At the same time, black shadows pounced on Lu Yuan.
It was small stonemen and black scorpions.
Lu Yuan had cleaned up the ferocious beasts nearby before he left yesterday.
However, this was how strange the Land of Origins was.
There were a lot of ferocious beasts and in the entire universe, it was unknown how many races there were.
No matter how much they killed, it was impossible to wipe out all of the ferocious beasts here.
At this moment, Lu Yuan’s figure flashed and he dodged the stones’ attacks. After that, a longsword appeared in his hand, and he killed the black scorpions that pounced on him.
He then wiped out all the small stonemen that had gathered together.
After collecting the spirit crystals and materials, Lu Yuan left this passageway and continued to head deeper into the underground palace.
…
When Lu Yuan was hunting ferocious beasts, in a place not far away from his passageway.
There was a battle going on.
Swoosh!!
Arrows shot across the air, making a piercing sound.
It shot through a male elf’s neck.
Blood gushed out from the male elf’s neck, dyeing his body red.
He held his neck and his eyes were wide open, glaring at the female catgirl not far away.
Moli didn’t have any expression on her face as she took a look at the male elf who gradually fell to the ground.
She then took out another arrow and turned her gaze onto someone else.
The catfolk swordsman Xiye was fighting against two elf attack-type fighters.
Xiye’s movements were like leaves fluttering in the wind, being more agile than the two elf fighters.
Moreover, his crazy heavy sword attacks slashed out an intense sword wind that suppressed the two elf fighters.
The two elf fighters were continuously pushed back.
On the other hand, the catfolk elementalist kept on creating fireballs in his hand and was suppressing an elf guard-type fighter and an elf archer.
Seeing their companion’s death, the four elf fighters bellowed out in fury.
“Damn hunters!”
Xiye and the other two didn’t wear any expressions on their faces. As hunters, their prey’s fury was unable to cause any fluctuations in their emotions.
“Nanqi!”
Moli let out a low snort, grabbed two arrows, and pulled her bow.
The arrows shot out toward the elf archer from two directions.
Archery Body Technique: Doubleshot
Nanqi, the elementalist, understood her intentions. He let out a low bellow, and three fireballs condensed above his magic staff, shooting toward the elf guard-type fighter.
Seeing this, the elf guard-type fighter’s pupils contracted, his body tensed up, and he raised his shield to put up a block.
Boom boom boom!!
As the fireballs exploded on the huge square-shaped shield, the elf fighter let out a stifled snort and was pushed back for many steps.
As a result, the elf archer behind him became exposed.
At this moment, two arrows passed by the elf guard-type fighter, turned into streams of light, and shot toward the elf archer.
The elegant-looking elf archer was shooting arrows at Nanqi when she suddenly heard the sound of something cutting through the air. Her pupils contracted and she quickly pounced to the side.
An arrow flew past above her head, but the other arrow pierced through her chest.
“Ahh!!”
The elf archer let out an agonizing cry and fell to the ground. Blood gushed out of her body as she lost her vitality.
“Beryl!”
The eyes of the elf guard-type fighter and the other two elf swordsmen turned red, and they let out furious bellows.
However, after the consecutive deaths of two elf fighters, the other three elf fighters couldn’t hold on for long under the three catfolk hunters’ teamwork.
In a short time, an elf swordsman had his chest pierced through by Moli’s arrow, and another elf swordsman had his neck slashed by Xiye’s longsword. The last elf guard-type fighter was shaken up by Nanqi’s fireballs that his internal organs shattered and he died.
Xiye and the other two let out exhales as they took a look at their spoils of war.
Nanqi broke into a smile.
“To think that there are genetic armaments? Two sets of leather armor. Not bad. This party seems to have gotten some gains.”
Xiye quietly picked up all the items and smiled faintly.
“But in the end, didn’t they end up becoming ours?”
Moli put away her longbow, took out a water bottle, and had a drink. She then pursed her lips.
“Our luck isn’t bad this time.”
“This party’s strength is quite mediocre and we didn’t deplete much stamina either. Let’s continue to look for another prey.”
Nanqi waved his magic staff and said, smiling.
“En, let’s set off.”
…
The three catfolk hunters put away their spoils of war and set off once again.
It wasn’t long before they heard the sounds of fighting from a passageway in the distance.
The three of them exchanged a glance.
They had been together for very long and didn’t need to communicate to be able to understand each other.
Hence, they softened their footsteps and moved in the direction of the sounds.
Very soon, they arrived at the source of the fighting sounds.
Moli did a hush action with her lips and looked toward the corner.
After seeing the battle scene, Moli’s pupils contracted and revealed a hint of killing intent.
Not far away, a human fighter was being surrounded by three small stonemen and two black scorpions.
Even though he was surrounded and attacked, the human fighter still seemed to be at ease.
His entire skin turned into a blackiron color and he wore simple armor. His defense was extremely astonishing.
The black scorpion’s venomous stinger wasn’t able to pierce through his skin, and his body could even receive the attack of a small stoneman’s fist.
Moli had a deep impression of this human fighter.
He was the one who had pierced her stomach with his sword yesterday!
At the sight of this human, she felt a vague pain in her stomach.
This made her clench her fists and grit her teeth uncontrollably.
Sensing Moli’s abnormality, Xiye and Nanqi exchanged a glance. Xiye patted Moli softly.
Moli came back to her senses and withdrew her stance.
“What’s the matter?”
Xiye asked.
An ice-cold killing intent flashed in Moli’s eyes and she said softly.
“It’s that human guard-type fighter from yesterday.”
“It’s him?!”
Nanqi instantly broke into a savage smile.
“I didn’t expect that we would see him again!”
Xiye’s gaze also flickered and he gripped his longsword tightly.
“He’s alone?”
“En, he’s alone.”
“Then let’s kill him!”
