Gurgle gurgle~
Gurgle gurgle~
As magic power was injected again, the originally clear alchemy solution visibly became turbid, and then, the alchemy solution boiled like hot water.
Nolan's expression changed, and he immediately flung his hand, throwing out the waterskin containing the alchemy solution.
Bang!
The waterskin was thrown into the air and exploded with a bang.
The sound of the explosion quickly spread through the jungle, startling a series of birds that flew into the sky, making chaotic 'chirping' sounds.
In the jungle, several hundred meters away.
Agu, leading two Hobgoblins carrying large baskets, stopped nervously.
"Wh-what was that noise?"
The stuttering Hobgoblin quickly looked around, his face full of wariness and vigilance.
"It's not far from here," another Hobgoblin said, looking in the direction of the sound, also speaking nervously to Agu.
Agu looked up at the sky, "That sound wasn't caused by a monster or a beast; it should be that human."
"Let's hurry!"
Agu's tone was excited.
The two Hobgoblins beside Agu exchanged glances, their expressions full of worry, but they could only follow along.
In another direction.
"Hoo~"
"Hoo~"
The Lesser Spirit Hound panted continuously, its black fur covered in a large amount of broken branches and leaves, and even had several scratches from bushes.
Its constantly trembling limbs further indicated that the Lesser Spirit Hound was quite exhausted at this moment.
"Owoo," the Lesser Spirit Hound also looked in the direction of the sound, its ears twitched a few times, and its originally dim eyes brightened again.
The scent in the jungle was extremely complex.
Even with an excellent sense of smell, it could initially catch Nolan's scent, but as time passed and the distance between them grew, even the Lesser Spirit Hound's excellent sense of smell couldn't accurately pinpoint the direction Nolan had gone.
But now, the sound coming from the jungle allowed the lost Lesser Spirit Hound to find its direction again.
"Owoo!"
The Lesser Spirit Hound's gaze was firm as it pushed its trembling limbs and continued to plunge into the jungle.
It didn't know why it had to follow that terrifying existence; it only knew that without the protection of its parents, it couldn't survive in the jungle.
Seeking the protection of the strong was the most basic law of survival in the jungle.
Splash!
The fragments of the exploded waterskin and the alchemy solution liquid splattered all over the ground.
"Ah!!!"
The Hobgoblin Mu Guo subconsciously let out a scream, covering his head with his hands, bending his knees, and curling up in the grass.
Even so, the half-eaten roasted wild rabbit was still firmly clenched in the Hobgoblin Mu Guo's mouth.
Nolan ignored the screaming Hobgoblin Mu Guo and looked at the waterskin that had been blown to pieces, his eyebrows twitching.
"It can't withstand the infusion of magic power?"
"So, 5 points of magic power is the limit, then."
Nolan recalled the situation of the alchemy solution during the magic infusion process, deep in thought, "No, it should be similar to the iron sword's situation; it's a material problem."
The Hanging Spider was a relatively common monster on the outskirts of the jungle, only posing a significant threat due to its large numbers and gregarious nature.
In terms of level alone, the Hanging Spider's rank wasn't high, so its venom sac naturally wouldn't be a high-grade alchemy material.
If the key for a potion master making potions lies in the type of herbs, the amount, and the combination, then the key for an alchemist making alchemy solutions lies in the materials!
Compared to the complex and tedious knowledge of herbs, alchemy only pursues the characteristics of materials, which is much simpler, and this is why Nolan had focused his energy on alchemy before.
"Since venom sacs can be used as alchemy materials, can other parts of other monsters also be used as alchemy materials?"
Thinking of this, Nolan's face showed a fervent expression.
Of course!
Not just any material could be used; for example, the bone chains obtained from the two Spirit Hounds Nolan had killed earlier were also magical materials, yet they couldn't be made into an alchemy solution!
Perhaps they could, but Nolan clearly didn't have such means at the moment.
Nolan remembered that whether in the game "YGGDRASIL" or in the other world, potions weren't just limited to the healing potion series.
There were also potions that could grant users special abilities and enhancements, such as "Magic Potion: Lesser Strength Growth" and "Magic Potion: Lesser Agility Growth" in the other world.
And in the game "YGGDRASIL," professional players specializing in the "Potion Master" series even had unique, higher-tier specialized professions, capable of imbuing potions with magic up to the sixth tier.
"Alchemists" naturally also possessed similar specialized professions.
Nolan withdrew his gaze from the shattered waterskin fragments, his face devoid of any regret.
Originally, he had only considered "Magic Swordsman" as a high-tier profession to increase stats; after all, the ability to use magic that came with this profession was completely dispensable.
Even the professional skill "Magic Slash" was merely an additional physical ranged attack method.
Instead, "Magic Infusion," which seemed like just a passive auxiliary professional skill, actually held an unexpected surprise!
His thoughts returned.
Nolan stared at the Hobgoblin Mu Guo, who was clutching the wild rabbit meat and trembling in the grass not far away, "Are you done eating?"
Hearing Nolan's calm voice, the Hobgoblin Mu Guo finally lifted his head from the grass, his fearful eyes cautiously scanning his surroundings before he let out a sigh of relief.
He knew that it was Nolan who had caused the big commotion just now.
He also knew that during this time, the powerful human in front of him always liked to do things he couldn't understand.
"I-I'm done eating."
"Great, great master, are we setting off again?"
The Hobgoblin Mu Guo quickly spoke, as normally by now, they should have already set off to hunt monsters and those inferior Goblins.
"That's good."
Nolan nodded, picked up his longsword, and walked towards the Hobgoblin Mu Guo with a calm gaze.
However, the Hobgoblin Mu Guo did not notice the faint killing intent in Nolan's eyes.
After all, his legs were broken and he couldn't move; Nolan always carried him when they moved.
However!
Nolan had just taken two steps when he suddenly paused, then turned sideways, his gaze fixed on the jungle behind the hill.
Rustle—
Rustle rustle!
The sound of footsteps crushing leaves on the ground and bodies rubbing against branches and bushes came from within the jungle.
Nolan's ears twitched; from the sound, he judged that there should be two medium-sized creatures approaching his current location.
No?
It was three, and there was also a smaller one, whose sound was masked by the two larger creatures.
Life in the jungle during this time had, unknowingly, sharpened Nolan's senses. Of course, it might also simply be that the improvement in his strength made his five senses more acute.
"Interesting."
Nolan's face showed an interested expression.
You see!
During this time, he didn't know if it was because he had killed too many Goblins and monsters, or because of the change in his aura due to increased strength.
Wherever he went, many monsters and beasts would directly flee, and even the frequent attacks by venomous insects when he first entered the forest had now disappeared.
This was the first time in half a month that he had encountered creatures daring to actively approach his location.
He didn't wait long.
Accompanied by the dense rustling of branches and leaves, a Hobgoblin the size of a human child pushed aside a bush, revealing his light green head.
The moment his eyes met Nolan, the child-sized Hobgoblin instinctively trembled all over and couldn't help but exclaim, "F-f-find..."
"Agu!"
Just then, the Hobgoblin Mu Guo, who was in the back, let out a cry filled with surprise, panic, and other complex emotions.
With this familiar voice, Agu also recovered from the terror he felt the moment he saw Nolan, and quickly looked in the direction of the Hobgoblin Mu Guo, his voice still trembling slightly, "Brother Mu Guo."
