Chapter 40 Star Cauldron
After a brief period of panic, the place where Mazi and others were stationed gradually returned to calm as the red light disappeared.
"There is no Scarlet Beast! Everyone, go back and rest!"
Mazi glanced at Chen Ping's tent, turned to the others and said.
In the scarlet apocalypse, it is always better to do less than to do more.
"But...that red light...Brother Dong won't be in danger, right?" Duan Zixuan was a little worried.
"Brother Dong will be fine even if you die!" Ye Shengge pouted.
"Well, what you said makes sense!" Duan Zixuan was convinced.
"Brother Dong, if you are okay, please reply!" Su Xixi was still a little worried.
"It's okay, you can rest!"
Chen Ping's voice came from the tent. Su Qianqian nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Xue Na, who was standing next to Su Xixi, was stunned for a long time.
"Sister Xena, what's wrong with you?" Su Xixi pulled Xena's arm.
"It's okay, maybe I'm too sleepy!"
Xue Na responded casually.
When she was at the Dawn Camp, she heard the camp commander mention that Chen Ping from the Chen family obtained the red quality scarlet wheel and drew the high-level potion talent.
At that time, the entire Chen family was obscured by the red light, which lasted for dozens of seconds before gradually disappearing.
Afterwards, Chen Ping disappeared completely and there was no news about him.
If Lin Tingzhang hadn't recognized Chen Ping today, Xue Na still hadn't discovered that this coastal legend was actually by her side.
The red light just now seemed to be the vision of drawing a red prize.
"Did he... draw it from the carousel... No, there are no red carousels among Lin Tingzhang's carousels!"
Xue Na followed Su Xixi back to the armored car with confusion.
"Good people will be rewarded. Good people like Brother Dong will definitely have great luck!"
Su Xixi was talking to herself, took out a bottle of primary strength potion and drank it directly.
"There's no need to fight now, so why did you drink the strength potion?"
Xue Na was still thinking about Chen Ping, but she was attracted by Su Xixi's actions and asked subconsciously.
"Uh...I'm so sleepy, I fell asleep!"
Su Xixi hesitated for half a second, then fell directly onto the chair, as if she had really fallen asleep.
Xue Na was a little speechless, but she didn't ask any questions.
In the scarlet apocalypse, everything that happens is normal. If you want to explore everything clearly, you will definitely collapse, and you may even lose your life.
These people in Mazi's team are not like hunters. It is more appropriate to describe them as monsters or weirdos.
Xue Na put aside all distracting thoughts and tried her best to fall asleep quickly.
At the same time, outside the armored vehicle, inside Chen Ping's tent.
Chen Ping was looking at the small sky-blue four-legged square tripod in the center of his palm.
This is the second red quality prize he has drawn after his rebirth.
Generally speaking, there are only items below blue in the blue and scarlet wheel. When red items appear, the prize pool will be expanded by more than ten times.
If the red mark of the "Advanced Alchemy Cauldron" hadn't been so conspicuous, it would have been difficult for Chen Ping to see it among the thousands of prizes on the turntable.
On the scarlet wheel, 90% of the area is white quality items, 9% of the items are green, and the remaining 1% is seven blue and one red items.
If Chen Ping hadn't been able to designate the prize, he wouldn't have even been able to see what was drawn when the turntable pointer stopped.
Chen Ping clicked on the scarlet bracelet, and the light blue screen was projected into the void.
【Star Cauldron】
Type: alchemy equipment
Effect 1: Increase the rate of pill formation by 10%.
Effect 2: Increase the effect of the elixir by 2%.
Effect 3: Comes with star fire, which can be integrated with other alchemy fires to improve the quality of the alchemy fire.
Effect 4: When damaged, it can be repaired by itself.
Quality: medium red
Chen Ping nodded with satisfaction, and with a thought, the star cauldron surged until it was as tall as half a person.
"Stab it!"
The edge of the tent was torn open by the enlarging Star Cauldron.
Before his rebirth, Chen Ping had not obtained similar items, but had only seen them in other people's hands, so he was still a little unfamiliar with using them for the first time.
Outside the tent, Ye Shengge suppressed her curiosity and stood in the distance, with her back to Chen Ping's tent.
"I didn't hear it, I didn't see it, I didn't hear it, I didn't see it..." Ye Shengge muttered.
Chen Ping continued to stare at his Star Cauldron and put the two-headed black snake scales he had just exchanged from Su Qianqian into the cauldron.
"call!"
In an instant, a heat wave swept over and a raging fire ignited inside the cauldron.
The extremely hard black "iron piece" turned into a soft gel in just ten seconds.
After another half minute, a black pill lay quietly in the cauldron.
Chen Ping took out the pill, and the stars shrank back to the size of a palm.
"Not bad, it's quite useful!" Chen Ping nodded, feeling very satisfied.
The scales of the two-headed black snake are the raw materials for refining a high-grade elixir.
Chen Ping didn't know how long it would take to find the formula for refining the elixir. Moreover, in addition to snake scales, other more precious materials were needed, which could not be collected in a year and a half.
He was about to deal with the third-level scarlet beast, and he urgently needed to improve his strength.
Chen Ping swallowed the black pill directly.
"Crack!"
It's like eating chocolate beans, and the taste is acceptable.

Before rebirth, Chen Ping took half a year to get his ability score over 100, but now, it only took less than half a month.
This is only Chen Ping's basic attribute. When using the black knife or primary potion, his attribute will be further improved, enough to deal with ordinary level 3 scarlet beasts.
Putting the Star Cauldron into the space stone, Chen Ping walked to the armored vehicle and chose a new tent.
"Brother Dong, I'll help you!"
Ye Shengge was on guard in the distance. When he saw Chen Ping setting up a tent, he ran over.
"Brother Dong... I have always had a doubt in my heart."
Ye Shengge said cautiously.
"What?"
"Before I arrived at Tiemu Camp, I met Captain Ma Zi on the road. He also told me how to use the Nether Fire, but I always felt that the man was not Ma Zi."
Although it was a dark and windy day, and the other party was wearing black clothes and masking his face.
But the way he spoke and his temperament were completely different from the Ma Zi that Ye Shengge saw now.
"That person is me!"
Chen Ping said lightly. For him now, he no longer cares about this matter.
"Really... is it really you?"
Ye Shengge didn't expect Chen Ping to answer so straightforwardly.
In Ye Shengge's opinion, if you don't have the strength, it's better to end it early in this scarlet apocalypse.
And he persisted until now, just because he felt that his talent of "Nether Fire" would not be as simple as just using it to make fire.
Especially, "Ma Zi" pointed out the use of the Nether Fire, which can add fire attributes to weapons and greatly improve actual combat capabilities, as if opening a door for Ye Shengge.
However, this door was only opened a crack.
So, Ye Shengge kept asking Ma Zi about other information about the Nether Fire.
But Ma Zi kept silent, which made Ye Shengge feel that the man in black that night was not Ma Zi.
"Dong... Brother Dong, do you know other information about this Nether Fire?"
Ye Shengge asked bravely. This time he was determined to ask Chen Ping, absolutely risking his life.
In the whole team, Ma Zi looked fierce, but the most dangerous one was the silent and unpredictable Chen Ping.
Ye Shengge didn't want to survive in such a muddle.
Either become a strong man or perish completely.
In the end times, there is no other choice.
If there is a third choice, it must be endless psychological torture and pain.
"I do know something about the Nether Fire!"
Chen Ping nodded, opened one hand, and the Star Cauldron in the Space Stone appeared in Chen Ping's palm.
"Brother Dong, what are you doing..."
"Use your mind to separate a strand of Nether Fire and put it into this small cauldron!"
Ye Shengge heard this, without any hesitation, a strand of cold blue flame fell into the small cauldron.
"Huh!"
A hot column of fire rushed out of the Star Cauldron.
The strand of blue flame, like a weak and helpless child, was gradually swallowed by the red flame and finally disappeared.
Chen Ping looked down at his bracelet.
[The Star Fire successfully swallowed the primary Nether Fire and was promoted to the first-level Star Fire! 】
Chen Ping nodded with satisfaction and put away his Star Cauldron.
"The Nether Fire is very strong. Its advantage is that it is overbearing. When it is upgraded to a certain level, it can even destroy the world!"
"The disadvantage is that it is overbearing. After upgrading to a certain level, you can no longer have other talents, otherwise the Nether Fire will backfire until you die!"
Chen Ping looked at Ye Shengge and said slowly.
"Can't have other talents? It doesn't matter. I am a more focused person!" Ye Shengge said confidently.
"Brother Dong, how to upgrade this Nether Fire?" Ye Shengge continued to ask.
In the early days of the apocalypse, most people only had white bracelets and could not read the information of talents like the Nether Fire.
What Ye Shengge wanted to know most now was how to improve this talent.
According to Chen Ping, Ye Shengge was an unknown little person in the early days of the apocalypse. It was not until the Scarlet Secret Realm came that he got some items in it and upgraded the Nether Fire to the Nether City Nether Fire.
"I don't seem to have the obligation to tell you!"
"Brother Dong, as long as you can improve my strength, I will be your slave in the future!"
"I... don't need slaves!" Chen Ping shook his head.
"Brother Dong, what do you need? No matter what kind of swords and fire, I will never frown!"
"I haven't thought about it yet, I'll think about it later!"
Chen Ping looked at the tent that had been set up and prepared to go in and rest.
"Then... I..." Ye Shengge was still a little unwilling.
"With your current strength, even if you know how to improve the Netherworld Fire, it is impossible to do it. You should make sure you can survive first!"
After Chen Ping finished speaking, he went directly into the tent.
Ye Shengge was stunned in the same place. After a while, a smile from the heart appeared on his face. He turned around and left to continue the task of keeping watch.
Although the conversation with Chen Ping was simple, he had obtained enough information.
His talent was very strong, and Chen Ping knew how to improve his talent.
As long as there was hope, Ye Shengge would have a goal.
Perhaps Chen Ping didn't say it now to test himself.
After all, this was the Scarlet Doomsday, and it was normal for Chen Ping to be on guard against himself.
What he didn't know was that Chen Ping didn't know how to improve the Nether Fire.
"We should be able to reach the Lin family camp tomorrow night. We must find a way to get the information of the third-level scarlet beast in advance!"
Chen Ping lay in the tent, thinking to himself.
