Chapter 216 You can’t go there
This precious pill, known as the "secret medicine," had only been seen in stores in big cities.
They are expensive and in short supply. They are usually placed in brocade boxes, and shop assistants are careful to handle them.
Its effect is very simple, similar to the recovery medicine, but the effect is amazing. It is said to be several times that of the ordinary recovery medicine, and it works faster.
At the same time, it also has the effect of enhancing physical fitness within a certain period of time. This does not mean improving muscle strength, but making you more "healthy" and in better condition.
It is also very quick and convenient to take. For hunters, it can be said to be the best life-saving "magic medicine".
“Are you sure?” Gordon squatted down next to Julius and asked softly.
"Sure."
Julius nodded seriously, "I have taken the secret medicine, and I always keep one with me just in case. There is no doubt that these are the secret medicine, and the quality is very good."
Gordon took a breath and once again felt that this village was unusual.
The great monk Zheng who usually works as a young farmer, the child who masters the alchemy of ancient dragons, and the miscellaneous stall selling rare medicines.
After calming down, he looked at the old man looking after the stall, "Old man, old man?"
"Hmm?" The old man from the dragon tribe woke up from his nap, "We have guests, do you need anything?"
“Are these secret medicines?”
“Yes.”
“How much is one?” Gordon asked excitedly.
“Money?” The old man scratched his bald head, “I haven’t used money for a long time.”
The dragon girl explained in a low voice: "The village of Sinard is isolated from the outside world and is self-sufficient, so it rarely uses money and barters more."
“Uh, how about bartering?”
“Usually food, cloth, medicinal materials and other practical items.”
Gordon has some hemp, who goes out hunting to bring these?
The dragon girl hesitated for a moment, "Perhaps, I can be an intermediary and help you with the exchange. Later, I also have plans to go down the mountain to practice as a hunter, and the cash will be useful to me."
“That’s just right!”
A few people discussed it, and finally Gordon and the others bought these secret pills at less than half the market price.
The dragon girl and the grocery stall owner also felt that they had made a profit.
“Bring more secret medicine with you when you go down the mountain from now on. It will be easy to sell in big cities. The price will be just twice as much, and travel expenses and other expenses will be included.” Gordon said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
“Okay!” The dragon girl nodded happily.
After dividing the secret medicine with Julius, Gordon looked at the sky.
“It’s almost time, shall we go back to the alchemy house?”
"Um."
When they returned to the alchemy house, they happened to see the fourteenth generation of Maka walking out of the house with unsteady steps.
Hand holding an unrecognizable piece of debris in his hand, he staggered to his knees on the ground.
“Loss, failed, reaction collapsed, refined, refined and exploded.”
Everyone: “.”
Nadia looked like she didn't know whether to cry or laugh, her expression was very complicated.
Under the watchful supervision of the dragon girl, the little fat man gave Nadia the protective stone, one of his favorite works, with a sad face.
This time it was Nadia's turn to feel embarrassed and expressed her willingness to pay compensation, but the little fat man refused firmly.
“Please respect the dignity of the master alchemist!”
The departure time for the hunting ground was one or two hours later than expected.
But they all felt it was worth it.
Especially Nadia, if it weren't for the fact that the dragon girl was still around, making her a little embarrassed, she would have wanted to roll over twice to try the effect of the stone protection.
Especially Gordon, who was tall, heavily armored, carried a steel sword, and helped Nadia share a pile of ammunition.
He was worried that if he stepped too hard, the wooden ladder, which did not look very strong, would be broken.
Over the past few years, Gordon has traveled across the continent and visited a variety of hunting grounds.
Muddy swamps, hot volcanoes, barren deserts, dark caves, and deep seas of trees.
But none is as special as Sky Mountain.
—The landscape here gives people a “kneaded” feeling.
It is as if there are two giant hands that can pull the entire continent, squeezing the continental plates hard, and completing the crustal changes that should have taken tens of millions of years in just a few thousand years.
Under the extrusion of this force, the originally flat rock formations were broken, stacked, and rose upwards, blending with the ancient buildings that once stood on them to form the unique mountain body of Sky Mountain.
A small amount of soil, vines, and low vegetation are interspersed.
It is hard to tell whether they grow on the mountain composed of huge rocks and ruins, or whether they glue the rocks and ruins together to form the mountain peak.
“Rumble, rumble!”
A huge boulder, the size of a herbivorous dragon cart, fell vertically on the **** of a cliff not far from the group of people. It broke into several pieces and rolled down toward the bottomless abyss below.
Bringing about echoes.
Three hunters and a cat stopped warily and looked upward.
This phenomenon of rock rolling down is often accompanied by the appearance of large monsters - when the rocks cannot withstand the weight of the large monster's footsteps of tens or hundreds of tons, they will crack and roll down.
The dragon girl continued to move forward as if nothing had happened.
After leaping forward for more than ten meters, she noticed that the hunters behind her had not followed, and turned back to wave to them.
“Don’t worry! It’s very common for boulders to fall on Sky Mountain, just be careful to avoid them!”
Gordon adjusted his helmet and marveled in his heart.
Leaves fall in dense forests, rain falls in swamps and wetlands, sand falls in deserts, and boulders as big as houses fall in your sky and mountains, right?
“How far is it from the target hunting ground?” Julius asked loudly.
The dragon girl tilted her head and thought for a moment, then pointed forward, "We're almost there!"
The group of people restarted their steps.
It’s “almost there” and it’s noon.
The hunter camp that was developed between the cliffs finally appeared in front of them.
At the entrance of the camp, the dragon girl said goodbye to the hunters.
This girl who dreams of becoming a hunter, but is not even a trainee hunter yet, did not ask her companions to hunt, which made Gordon and others feel relieved.
Feng Ying was probably capable of doing this kind of thing in the past.
The girl from the dragon tribe who was about to leave suddenly turned around.
"Sorry, sorry, I almost forgot the most important thing!" The dragon girl knocked on her head in frustration.
“What’s the matter?” Julius asked.
The expression of the dragon girl became more serious than ever before.
It’s not the stern-faced pretending to be mature like before, but a kind of caution and warning from the heart.
"No matter what happens, you must not go in that direction." The girl pointed in the direction, "There is a 'forbidden land' that our family has guarded for generations.
The great monk is saying that entering recklessly may cause a disaster that will overturn the world. "
Three people and one cat: "."
"Seriously, you really can't go that way!" As if she didn't feel serious enough, the girl repeated two more sentences emphatically.
Everyone: “.”
After a brief silence, Julius said helplessly: "We are not the kind of people who are particularly curious. Don't worry, we won't go there."
At this point, Julius paused, and then said in a suggestive manner: "Also, your statement is particularly likely to arouse people's curiosity. Don't say it again in the future."
ˆDragon girl: "."
