Vol 3 Chapter 14: Secret valley

The wind blew through the holly forest, making a rustling noise.
It was a deadly silence on the open ground that had just been turned upside down.
A trace of soul energy floated from Rat Gaffney's corpse and was sucked into the Ring of Spirit Eaters.
Xiu clutched the wound on his chest, and stared coldly at Rat Gaffney's headless body.
In this fierce battle, although the loser paid the price of life, the winner is also upset.
The red wings were pierced by a rat's long tongue, and it took some time to recuperate even when using the potion. Xiuyi himself got Gaffney's red lotus. Natural magic has always been known for being weird and difficult to prevent. Hua Honglian has the effect of automatic recourse and defensive defense, but the damage is not great. Xiuyi drank half of the healing potion for himself and Hong respectively.
What surprised Xiu Yi was Xu's performance.
For a long time, Xu was a delicious and lazy smelly baby in Xiuyi's eyes. Xiuyi never regarded it as the main force on the battlefield. Even though it was taught to use the Vacuum Blade, it was only used as an occasional aid.
Sometimes Xiuyi also feels weird. After experiencing three periods of dormancy, why does the dragon have to grow so long to have strength? Even though this is because they are already strong enough to surpass the twelve peaks, such a long infant life is enough to make it difficult for the magic dragon to ensure that its next generation grows up.
But today he understood.
Advanced species, their special life-saving skills, it is clear that the scene just now is the unique life-saving ability of Xu.
But this time Xu Xu was lying on the ground, panting his tongue desperately, exhausted, and looked exhausted.
Xiu Yi hugged Xu, distressed, comforting it and said, "You really have to make me an eye-opener, little guy, dad still look down on you."
A trace of spiritual contact reached Xiu Yi's heart. Xu told Xiu Yi that this is the third form unique to the young dragon when it does not have adult strength, and it will only be used in critical times. With each use, the baby dragon cannot be used again for a long time. However, as its age increases and its physique strengthens, the interval between restricting the use of the third form by the little guy will be shorter and shorter, and the time it can persist is getting longer and longer. Until the end it is fully adult, there is no third form Is there. Because of it at that time, the ontology is this form.
As for now, the little guy is estimated to use this form once a month or two, and can only persist for a few seconds at a time.
"Anyway, you did a great job today." Xiu Yi smiled. "As a reward for you, Dad is going to make a big meal for you."
The little boy licked Xiu's face in excitement.
Looking at the little guy's excitement, Xiu Yi's mood was heavy.
Xiuyi didn't know if it was just a coincidence that he met Rat Gaffney, or the intentional arrangement of Brian Buckler and Hodding.
If this is a trap that is used to harm Xiuyi, then Xiuyi has to admit that this is a very well-planned trap and the layout can be said to be seamless. As Hording said, a wonderful scam doesn't need to be too complicated, as long as you focus on the people and aim at the part he is pursuing, you can often succeed easily.
For Shuigler, having a laboratory of his own, allowing him to sow the seeds as soon as possible, is undoubtedly a very important thing. After all, for alchemists, that is their strength. Source.
It is for this reason that Huoding was able to cheat Xiu Yi so easily.
But Xiuyi thought it was impossible.
Hording didn't know he had the seeds, it was impossible to know in advance that he needed a secret place, and then arranged everything.
And a conspiracy needs time to plan and prepare from planning to implementation. Hoddin is not the principal of the Wolf Team, and it is impossible to take the initiative without authorization. However, their trade with Hooding and Buckler was completely on the spot. They did not have time to think and prepare.
It is more likely a coincidence that a person cannot formulate such traps against his weaknesses and needs without knowing the details of the other party without prior consultation.
If that's the case, all I can say is that Buckler and Lilith are really lucky. They came twice, and for some reason they didn't alarm the rat, so they didn't come into contact with this terrible existence.
"Maybe there is a way to prove whether this is a trap or a coincidence," Xiu muttered.
He released a wind warbler.
If this is really a trap, Buckler will take his people waiting outside the holly forest, and find a way to get his body out in exchange for the empire's bounty.
The wind warp circled along the holly forest. After no discovery, Xiu Yi took out a crystal ball to observe the situation in Robinia pseudocacia, and finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that everything in the town was normal.
To be honest, at this moment, his state is really not suitable for another fierce battle.
And he didn't want to turn his back on Buckler.
Distracted by the wind warbler, Xiu Yi kept his eyes on Gaffney's body.
"Unique World of Warcraft, I don't know if there are any unique materials?" Xiu Yi smiled with satisfaction.
It's time to reap the rewards.
As alchemists, they have excellent knowledge and the ability to trace their roots. Finding the magic principle of the opponent's magic operation is the basis of their survival.
Xiu soon discovered that the rat Gaffney released the spell, relying on two thin tubes in the center of its back. Both ducts lead to its tail. There is a glandular sac, flowing with a strange liquid containing powerful magical energy.
The same magic? This is the first time that Xiuyi discovered.
The gland sac is the source of many of the magical powers of Warcraft. Unlike human mages, World of Warcraft liquifies the magic elements in the air and stores them in the glands that are unique to the body. The glandular sac converts these magical powers into magic liquids, which is the purest collection of magical elements. It is used to make magical healing potions, and the potion is an absolute top grade.
But due to the different magical properties, different magical attributes usually have different glands. For example, the Blazing Bird has a fire gland. A Warcraft with double-spell attributes, such as Rat Gaffney, should normally have two glandular sacs, corresponding to different magic powers.
But what Xiu saw at the moment was a completely different concept. This mouse had only one glandular sac, but had two different magic ducts. What does this mean?
There was confusion in Xiu's heart.
Could this mouse be able to transform magic into the existence of different attributes? This is simply incredible.
He forcibly suppressed the strange thoughts in his heart, carefully took out an empty bottle to remove the magic liquid in the glandular sac, and squeezed it into the bottle.
Looking down Gaffney's gland sac, Xiu Yi found a small nuclei-like object at the third node of its tail cone.
Not every type of Warcraft has magic nuclei, and not every kind of nuclei has a role. Xiu carefully observed the crystal nucleus, and he analyzed that this thing is likely to be the key to keeping the mouse with a single glandular sac.
Gently remove the small crystal, Xiuyi soaked it in Gaffney's magic solution, and carefully collected it.
After completing all this, Xiu Yi cut off the long and hard whip tail of Gaffney.
This thing is made up of thirteen bones, and it is like a snake. It is the hardest part of a rat. Since the rat itself is a magical creature, its whip tail is not metal, so it has a good affinity with magic. If it can be used to make weapons, it is definitely more suitable for enchanting than metal-made weapons, and its power will be great. Promotion.
"Remake it so you can make a good whip."
To Xiu's real satisfaction, Xiu's heart was found in the rat's body. The surface of Rat Heart is extremely smooth, but inside is full of powerful magical energy. Xiuyi tried to analyze it and found that the heart of the mouse had a unique adsorption effect on metal. This means that this is a great weapon enchanting material.
However, because Purgatory Island has not made great efforts to study the ability of weapon enchantment for many years, alchemy progress in this area has been limited, so Xiuyi decided not to use it for the time being. Weapon enchantment, or wait until you have better technology. After all, there is only one rat's heart, so it's gone.
In addition, Xiuyi found that the rat was really a treasure. Its skin is suitable for making soil, and its liver has strong detoxification ability. Even after processing its lung leaves, it can be used as a special agent for making medicine. raw material. It's just that how to make it work, Xiu Yi needs to study it himself.
In the end, Xiu Yi took Gaffney's teeth and claws down again, cut skin and cramps, removed each part of it, and saw that there was nothing to use. Xiu Yi kicked Gaffney's body. Kick fly. The rat also had a stinky sac, which was suitable for making stinky bombs, but the result was that its meat was extremely stinky, and Xu was not interested in eating it.
This cunning rat that once caused the Lance Empire to have a lot of headaches and used countless good men to hunt down and failed to capture, was completely destroyed by Xiu Yi, not even digging a pit for it, and exposed the dead.
The ground sealed by Xiuyi has become soft again.
Xiu Yi glanced at the opening and suddenly a thought came to her mind.
Why does this rat live here? Is there anything else in its nest?
Thinking of this, Xiu Yi decided to take a look.
Climbing down the entrance of the cave, Xiu Yi found that the space underneath turned out to be a cobweb, and there were underground pipelines connected to each other.
Going down to the lowest level of the cave, Xiu Yi found that the space here was huge. Looking up, it's almost fifty meters above the ground.
The crypt was cleaned up, and there was a passage all the way to the darkest deepest place.
Xiu Yi held Xu, and let the two flaming birds follow behind him and walked towards the passage.
Judging from the direction, this passage leads to the cliff, and he can hear the sound of flowing water faintly.
The passage was very long. Xiu Yi walked for more than half a day before seeing the faint light in front. When he came to the entrance of the passage and looked out of the passage, he couldn't help but exclaim:
"My goodness!"
In front of me is a world of paradise.
This is a turquoise green valley, with safflower and green trees contrasting with each other, and underneath you are green grass.
The empty valley is surrounded by high mountains, and only the sky overhead is always blue.
Various rare birds have never seen Xiuyi happily flying in the valley, and there are some strange magic plant flowers blooming.
To his surprise, he even saw here some mochi that had never been seen on Purgatory Island.
"Cat's eyes, Devil's Weeping Vine, Dragon's Whisk ..." Xiu Yi stared at the Mo Zhi in front of his eyes, stunned.
The last dragon whisker on Purgatory Island has not survived since it was destroyed by toothy etc. Xiuyi did not expect that he would see a new dragon whisker here.
Xiuyi hurriedly ran into the valley. Not far away, a waterfall can be seen flowing down, just the waterfall in front of the cliff.
It turned out that the valley turned out to be behind the cliff, but he didn't come from the waterfall, but walked in through the tunnel dug by the rat. There is a pond behind the waterfall. The water is very clear, which is caused by the diversion of the waterfall. The water pond is not overflowing, maybe there is another outlet in other places.
The area of ​​the whole valley is small, and the circle is only a few miles.
This is like a new Purgatory Island, but it is much smaller than Purgatory Island, and the species is far less abundant than Purgatory Island, but it is more secretive than Purgatory Island.
Xiu noticed that the mountain walls were as neat as a knife and axe, and he frowned: "This place doesn't look like a natural place, it seems to have been artificially opened up. And the magic plant of cat's eye flower even Before the extinction, it never appeared in the Reims Empire. I remember in the book that it was unique to the southern continent. "
He couldn't help but think that the rat Gaffney obviously regarded it as its territory. But it didn't cause any damage to the place. On the contrary, it kept the place as complete as possible.
Gaffney's attitude is intriguing compared to the situation where there is no grass on the ground.
"Is it guarding?" Xiu suddenly realized.
But who can keep an existence like Rat Gaffney honestly here?
He glanced at Asahi in his arms, a thought flashed through his heart, and the whole person shuddered.
He shouted: "Electra! This is probably Electra's laboratory! Asahi, we found it! Haha, we found what we were looking for! Red, green, blue, you three Look around in all directions, this must be the place where Electra conducts his experiments! Electra has the habit of guarding his place with Warcraft, and only he has the ability to confine advanced Warcraft. And it can be everywhere The materials used in the alchemy experiment, these materials could not have been together! There must be his laboratory here, this must be the case! "
Xiu made no secret of the ecstasy of this major discovery.
He jumped wildly on the grass like a big boy, shouting, very excited.
The occasion of life is so strange sometimes, the laboratory of Electra that the Reims Empire couldn't find after all the painstaking effort appeared in front of Xiuyi so easily and simply. Although there was no shortage of explorer footprints in this land, no one has ever really come to the depths of the ground to explore the great alchemy ruins. !! ~!
