"Our faction provides us with such an item for unexpected needs. However, if we encounter exceptionally powerful enemies, these treasures are of little use before them," Val explained.'Mystic Elixir is indeed a major faction. They even provide them with such items. I assume the pills and meals they usually consume are incomparable to those of other factions. With such abundant resources, it's not surprising that talented individuals emerge. Ah, I truly envy them!' Adrian thought.Despite the envy, he harbored no inappropriate thoughts.At that moment, the group of people noticed them. Several lightly injured individuals approached and asked, "Ms. Val, who are these people?"They were filled with cautiousness and clearly still disoriented from the recent battle, seeing threats everywhere. Val hurriedly explained, "These two are our helpers. They gave us these pills so that we can heal ourselves. Nikola, quickly take this bottle and distribute the pills to everyone." After that,
With this unexpected turn of events, the remaining apprentices naturally became more obedient. After receiving the Healing Pills, each of them expressed gratitude to Adrian.Adrian carefully observed these apprentices and found that most of them were sincerely apologizing. It seemed that they had understood what Val had said earlier.The Healing Pill was a peculiar type of pill, more like an ointment than a traditional pill. While it appeared as small as a pill, it could be used externally when activated with aura. Additionally, its effect surpassed that of regular ointments.When ingested as a pill, its effects were quite remarkable as well.Among these apprentices, many had injuries from monsters' claws or wounds from swords and blades. The claws of those monsters often carried poison.Since they did not have any pills, many of their wounds had festered, causing both pain and itching. However, they could not scratch those wounds, so it was extremely uncomfortable.Thanks to the
Adrian and the rest looked at each other when they heard her say that.What she said was similar to what they had seen!"We're unsure about what that is, but based on what you've said, it seems to be the thing we're searching for! Ms. Val, could you please explain this monster fox you're referring to?"Dragon Prince focused on that."The monsters living in Verdant Summit are the nine-tailed foxes!"Think about it. Monsters hurt people. If they managed to train with the miasma, wouldn't they get even more powerful? That's why we have to kill them for justice!" Val said flatly.She looked like she was saying something insignificant, while Dragon Prince looked horrible.Adrian knew he took it personally!The reason was that he belonged to the dragon clan. Naturally, he was not human.As such, Adrian asked, "Can you not hurt the monsters? Or maybe you don't kill them and get to the bottom of the cause!"Val's expression changed when she heard that. "Don't hurt them? They're monst
"What's inappropriate about it?"Adrian complimented Val and Mystic Elixir at first. She was glad to hear that. Naturally, she did not want to fall out with him.Now that she heard him disagree with what she did, she listened to him patiently instead of getting mad."I investigated before coming here. I found out that not all of the monsters in the summit are evil."Long ago, the monsters had some conflicts with people, but it was because the people invaded deep into the summit. It only happened because they went into their territory."Later on, people stopped going deep into the summit after learning their lesson. The monsters stopped hurting people. Lately, those who stir trouble are led by the fox monsters."I don't know why they're doing evil here, but I'm sure they have their reasons. After all, they're the monsters in the wilderness. It makes sense that they're ignorant since they're alienated."So I think we shouldn't kill them right away when we encounter them. The reaso
Adrian thanked Val and looked at Dragon Prince. He noticed that Dragon Prince was relaxed now.Val stood up and patted the snow on her before saying, "But I must tell you this. We're not the only ones looking for the monsters in the forest. "After all, to most immortals, the monsters are treasures. You must watch out if you run into those immortals."Not all immortals are open for discussion like I do, and not all immortals are genuine into training."After saying that, she was about to leave, but Dragon Prince stopped her. "Ms. Val, you haven't completed your trial. If you go back just like that…"Adrian thought it was funny that he said that.Val chuckled. "The trial is a training and test for the apprentices. Naturally, it's best to complete it, and the faction will reward us."However, if we can't complete it, we just won't be rewarded, that's all. We'll just treat this as returning your favor for the pills. Don't worry about it."She left right after saying that and waved
"This valley is magical to not be affected by the outside world. Hmm, what's that over there? I sense a powerful energy!"Adrian spread his consciousness.Suddenly, he felt his consciousness seemed to have contacted a powerful being. He felt like he was electrocuted.He shuddered and recalled his consciousness immediately.Dragon Prince sensed something off about him, so he asked, "What's wrong?"After adjusting his breath, Adrian said, "I'm okay. I'm sensing a strong energy there. Maybe we've arrived at the monsters' lair."Vardala looked over carefully and exclaimed, "That's right. There's indeed a strong energy over there. We must be careful. It's the monsters' nature to attack to protect their lair. They'll definitely attack us if we get close just like that."They went forward carefully in a testing manner, but they realized they seemed to be walking on the spot no matter how they moved.Although they had been walking for a long time, they did not move forward at all!The
Adrian got exactly what he wanted.Upon spotting the colossal ape, he surmised its thoughts to be rudimentary, devoid of any worldly knowledge.Consequently, he anticipated its bewilderment upon hearing him speak.It clearly still did not understand what Adrian said.However, its expression changed. It was blank before, but it became a little ferocious now. "I know the immortals from the world like you are horrible!"Ms. Laney told us that you guys only treat us as treasure! Some immortals came here, and we chased them away. I can't believe more of you came! Leave right now, or I won't show mercy!"Expecting the creature's simplicity, Adrian was taken aback when his stratagem failed.However, the giant ape had not come up with that itself.Based on its words, someone named Ms. Laney seemed to be the source of its knowledge.Though he had no familiarity with Ms. Laney, Adrian speculated that she might be the fox monster of the territory.Meanwhile, the immortals that came earl
The voice's owner approached Adrian and Dragon Prince.As they suspected, it was a stunning woman, striding in a flirtatious manner reminiscent of a snake.Her white attire resembled a sheer layer of chiffon. She exuded an air of semi-transparency, revealing subtle glimpses of her body.Her alluring physique emanated an enigmatic aura.Her eyes, filled with allure, could captivate with just a glance.Advancing towards them, she scrutinized Adrian, wearing a mysterious smile.That smile penetrated bone and heart, irresistible.Adrian had chills from her stare but could not say anything to her. He looked away in silence.He knew that he was still inexperienced and could not resist the woman's charm entirely.She was the epitome of enchanting!She merely looked at him for a moment before noticing Dragon Prince. With the same smile on her face, she looked like she could charm just anyone. "It's been a while, Abel Mercer."Dragon Prince bowed to her. "It's been a while, Laney. Yo
