Chapter 2421 Be Careful Around You

Chen Xuan shook his head slightly, took out a pitch-black pill from his storage ring and put it into his mouth: "I'm really not a member of the Alchemist Association..."

"Then why don't you join the Alchemist Association? You should know that if you can enter the Alchemist Association, the annual profit will be very lucrative. At that time, I'm afraid you don't have to join our Demon Hunter Guild..." Wang Lun said to Chen Xuan.

He knew very well what the status of alchemists in this world was. Generally, with a certificate of a senior alchemist, you can have an annual income of hundreds of thousands of crystals.

"Alchemy is just my side job after all. Now my main thing is to improve my strength..." Chen Xuan said to Wang Lun.

Wang Lun had heard from Chen Xuan before that he had met an old man in black robes. The old man in black robes entered the secret realm to practice, and when he came out, he could reach the level of a god.

That's why Chen Xuan worked hard to improve his strength during this period of time, just to have enough confidence to fight against the old man in black robes.

"In this case, I want to tell Brother Chen that it doesn't take much time and energy to enter the Alchemist Association." Wang Lun said to Chen Xuan sincerely.

Chen Xuan also nodded. Wang Lun had a point. If Chen Xuan hadn't been busy running around during this period, he would probably want to enter the Alchemist Association to take a look.

"I thought about it before, but I'm too busy recently. Let's wait until we return to Black Rock City this time." Chen Xuan worked hard to customize pills during this period, and also collected materials and metals to refine a weapon of his own.

After this period of busyness, Chen Xuan was ready to enter the Alchemist Association to take a look. Although the Alchemist Association was not the one Chen Xuan wanted to join the most, there were also a lot of information in it for Chen Xuan to check.

You can even buy materials for refining pills directly in it. This discount made Chen Xuan eager to try. When he came to the Black Shadow Forest, he had already bought a powerful tent in the Demon Hunter Guild. This tent can not only cover up his own smell, but also cover up the fluctuations of the mysterious power in his body.

And the discount is also very large. The purple crystal consumption tent that could be sold for 25 pieces only cost him 5 crystal cores to buy it in the Demon Hunter Guild.

So Chen Xuan felt that the pills in the Alchemist Association must be very cheap, which is very beneficial to the alchemists.

Chen Xuan and Wang Lun talked about the Alchemist Association here, and Chen Xuan also got a piece of news from Wang Lun.

There was once a very powerful alchemist who had even reached the level of Dan Zun. The pills he refined were extremely brilliant, and there were rich melodies on those pills, which not only allowed people to improve their strength.

And that pill can also make people have very powerful strength. When developing this pill, a lot of energy was invested. The alchemist has now disappeared, but I heard that he had appeared in Black Rock City recently.

"Brother Chen, if you can meet him, I'm afraid he can teach you a lot of alchemy skills. At that time, you must help me refine some pills." Wang Lun said to Chen Xuan next to him.

Chen Xuan then took out a bottle of bronze pill from his storage ring. This pill was used to treat his physical condition.

"This pill can treat your physical injuries. I believe you have used it before. I refined two bottles before coming to the Black Shadow Forest. Why don't you just carry them with you?" Chen Xuan handed the bottle of pill to Wang Lun, who gladly accepted it.

He had used this bottle of pill before, and it was because of this bottle of pill that Wang Lun admired Chen Xuan's craftsmanship.

"Since Brother Chen gave me a bottle, I gladly accepted it." Wang Lun took the bottle of pill and looked at it from left to right, trying to study what effect this pill had, but he couldn't understand it at all.

After a while, Wang Lun put the bottle of pill into his pocket. The reason why Chen Xuan gave this bottle of pill to Wang Lun was because he was afraid that Wang Lun would be injured and could not use the pill to replenish his physical injuries in time.

When they were fighting the monster before, Wang Lun was hit by the monster and flew away. If Chen Xuan hadn't rushed to her side quickly, took out her own pills and asked Wang Lun to take them, the monster would probably have taken advantage of the victory to pursue.

And once Wang Lun was injured, Chen Xuan alone might not be able to defeat the monster, and it would even take longer. Once the monster was fought for too long in the forest, other monsters would be attracted, which Chen Xuan didn't want to see.

"But you must be frugal when you eat these pills. After all, it is not easy to refine them. You must eat these pills when you are well fed, otherwise it may cause adverse effects." Chen Xuan said to Wang Lun beside him.

Wang Lun nodded: "Okay, I know all this. I will definitely not swallow these pills into my stomach for no reason. I am not the kind of person who eats everything I see."

After Wang Lun finished talking to Chen Xuan, he collected some dry wood nearby and then gathered all the wood together. During this period of time, they kept building bonfires and consumed a lot of dry wood.

Now there is no dry wood in Chen Xuan’s storage ring for them to use.

However, it is not difficult to find these dry woods, but now there are a lot of thorns in the middle of the forest, so Wang Lun can only use his giant sword to cut off all the thorns from the trees.

After bringing the dry wood to Chen Xuan, Wang Lun took back the black giant sword in his hand.

"These thorns are really annoying. I don't have to go through so much trouble at ordinary times!" Wang Lun was a little unhappy.

Chen Xuan was the same as Wang Lun. He didn't expect that such strange and poisonous thorns would appear in the middle of the forest. They were afraid that their bodies would be entangled with those thorns when they moved now.

However, they have been used to it during this period of time, so these thorns can't get on their bodies, but the poison carried by these thorns themselves makes them very nervous, beware of whether there will be a monster suddenly attacking them. Once at this time, a monster launches a sneak attack on them.

I'm afraid it's inevitable to lean against the tree, and it will definitely be uncomfortable if it is pierced by thorns, although Wang Lun has not experienced what it feels like to be pierced by thorns. But he had seen Chen Xuan's painful look before, and guessed that being pierced by those thorns must be very painful.

After processing the dry wood, they built a bonfire next to them. During this period of time, not only did they consume a lot of dry wood, but now they even don't have enough monster meat for them to use.

They didn't encounter a monster in the two days. If you want to find out the reason, it must be because of these thorns. If the low-level monsters are pierced by these thorns, they will be killed in one blow. But those high-level monsters are probably unable to adapt to the environment here, and now they are staying in the depths of the forest and the periphery of the forest.

"It seems that we are now in the middle of the forest. It's very unlucky, and we don't know how large an area these thorns cover..." Wang Lun said to Chen Xuan.

"Let's take a look first. Now we don't know how large an area these thorns are. If we walk a distance forward and there are still these thorns, then we can only retreat to the back..." After Chen Xuan finished speaking, Wang Lun looked at Chen Xuan.

"There is no other way. After all, the middle of the forest is no longer suitable for hunting monsters. If we go deep into the forest, there may be very powerful monsters... Now we can only go to the periphery of the forest..." Wang Lun said to Chen Xuan.

"Okay, in this case, let's go a little further ahead tomorrow. If we really don't encounter any monsters, we can only go back a distance..."

If they don't encounter monsters in the middle of the forest, they can't complete the task. That kind of monsters usually live in a dark environment.

The interior of the forest is very dark, and the sun is basically invisible. Only a faint light penetrates. However, the trees on the periphery of the forest are not so lush, so some weak light is revealed, but there are no monsters in this place.

Their main purpose of coming out this time is to hunt the monsters. If they hunt it, they can get 50 purple crystal cores as a reward. These 50 purple crystal cores are very generous to them.

At that time, even if the two of them divide these 50 crystal cores, each of them can have 25.

"Forget it, let's stay here for a while. I think there is only a little time left. If we can't find the magic beast in such a long time, let's go to the outskirts of the forest to complete other tasks first." Although their main task is to hunt the magic beast, they also took on more than 30 tasks from the task column of the Demon Hunter Union when they came out this time.

There are even some other tasks that are completed by the way. They have only completed 4 tasks now. In addition to hunting the iron-backed bear when they first came in, their current target is the magic beast. If they can't find the magic beast, they can only look for other task targets on the outskirts of the forest.

Chen Xuan took out the meat of the magic beast from his storage ring. This is a magic beast they hunted in the previous two days.

Although the meat of this magic beast is not very tight, they can only eat this magic beast now. If they don't eat it, they will not have enough physical strength to move to the middle of the forest.

"I never thought that I wouldn't encounter any monsters inside the forest..." Wang Lun looked at the thorns around him and said to Chen Xuan.
