The man probably saw Li Huailin chasing after him, so he ran even more desperately. But how could he outrun Millet on two legs? The distance between the two quickly shortened, and before they could even leave the village, Millet had already caught up to the fleeing man.
As the man got closer, Li Huailin got a better look at the man. The man was carrying a large backpack on his back. The backpack was especially large, and it just happened to cover the man's small body. However, Li Huailin found that the man's movements were not very nimble, and he did not look like a martial arts practitioner. He was just moving at the speed of an ordinary person. Li Huailin waved his hand, signaling Millet to push him down first.
"Ouch!" The fleeing man was grabbed by Millet and pressed to the ground. He let out a scream. Li Huailin felt a little strange because he heard an old man's voice. He got down from Millet's body and saw that the man who was knocked to the ground by Millet was indeed an old man in his seventies. He was also an NPC, but for some reason, Li Huailin suddenly felt that this man looked a little familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.
Looking at the name above the man's head, it showed "Ed Stark". The green color indicated that he was a friendly NPC. Li Huailin thought for a moment, but he did not remember seeing this guy before.
"You … can you let this guy go first? We can talk," Old Ed, who was on the ground, said to Li Huailin. He was still being stepped on by Millet.
"You know me?" Li Huailin asked. From the man's tone, it seemed like they knew each other, but he really could not remember.
"You … you swindled me out of my potion recipe, and now you're pretending that you don't know me?" Old Ed said angrily.
"Potion recipe?" Li Huailin was surprised at first, but then he suddenly remembered that he could not learn a secondary class. The only potion recipe that he wanted was the Fountain of Life Potion, which he had obtained from the Hidden Quest in the main city. Li Huailin looked at Old Ed on the ground and remembered. Wasn't this the NPC who poisoned him twice in the Hidden Quest?
"Oh, it's you." Li Huailin smiled and recalled Millet. He then helped Old Ed up from the ground. "Why did you run when you saw me? I thought you were someone who wanted to harm me."
Old Ed's face turned slightly red. He really did not expect to meet Li Huailin here. The main reason was that Li Huailin had left such a deep impression on him that when he saw Li Huailin, he could not help but want to leave.
"You … What are you doing here?" Ed, Old Ed, quickly changed the topic.
"Me? I am an adventurer. I go around doing quests to farm equipment. This time, I am here to farm some items. " Li Huailin said. "It's a little strange. Why are you, a murderous Poison Doctor, not staying in the main city? Why are you here in the wilderness?"
"You are a murderous Poison Doctor! I am a good Alchemist!" Ed snarled. He was a true Alchemist Master. Most people would not dare offend him even if they did not want to please him. This guy is really …
"Fine, fine. Whatever. You can't just deny that you poisoned me twice, right?" Li Huailin said.
"You …" Old Ed was speechless. It was because of this that he did not want to meet Li Huailin. He did not expect Li Huailin to catch up to him.
"In the end, what are you here for?" Li Huailin asked again.
"Of course, I am here to solve the problem of this village," Ed said.
"Eh? You? " Li Huailin looked at Old Ed up and down. This guy is so weak. Can you beat a Snowman?
"Of course, I did not rely on force." Old Ed immediately said, "A few days ago, someone told me about this village and gave me a sample of the Yeti's blood. I studied it for a bit and found something very interesting in the blood sample. It might be related to a new drug I'm currently developing. So I came here to see what's going on. If possible, I'll also solve the problem of the Yeti's berserk."
"Berserk?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yeah, don't you know? The Snowman is a relatively common creature in the northern part of the empire, but they are not very harmful. They only attack when humans invade their territory. Only the Snowmen here are particularly berserk. They will actively attack humans. I studied their blood and found something special. After doing some experiments, I found that this thing seems to cause a very painful feeling to ordinary creatures. It makes them panic and unconsciously go berserk. Then, they will attack the things around them. But the blood sample is too little, so I came here directly to see what is going on, "Old Ed said.
"You said it is related to a new drug you developed? Is it some kind of strong poison? "Li Huailin asked.
"Bastard, I am a pharmacist who saves people. I only know how to develop medicines to save people. I do not know how to make poisons," Old Ed immediately said. This was related to the doctor's personality.
"Oh … Another medicine to save people." Li Huailin's interest was piqued. A medicine to save people was a medicine that would kill him. Although Blood of Madness could heal him, it was still better to drink a medicine that would kill him.
"What are you thinking? I will never give you this new drug," Old Ed said nervously.
"Oh, okay then. Go up the mountain and find the Snowman yourself. It is much stronger than me. One slap from it can blow your little head off," Li Huailin said casually.
Old Ed was instantly depressed. He had originally planned to come here and give the adventurers nearby a quest to find blood for him. But when he came here, he found that there were no adventurers nearby. This was mainly because the Snowman here was a little too violent. It was too strong, and it was not suitable for leveling. The nearest city was too far away, and it would take too much time to travel. Ordinary players would not come here to level. There were many better places to level.
"Forget it. You are an adventurer after all. How about this? You help me develop a new drug, and I will give you two bottles. What do you think?" Old Ed said after thinking for a while.
System Notification: Ed Stark has issued an A-rank Hidden Quest, New Drug. Do you accept?
"Two bottles?" Li Huailin was a little depressed. Two potions was too little. However, he thought about helping him get the item out first and see what kind of trash it was. If it was something good, he could think of a way to get it. Anyway, he had the Great Slap Technique. At worst, he could just feed him a health potion while slapping him.
"Okay." Li Huailin nodded.
System Notification: You have accepted the A-rank Hidden Quest, New Drug.
Quest Requirement: Help Ed Stark develop a new drug.
Quest Reward: 130000 EXP, 50 gold coins, 500 Reputation Points, and a special reward.
"Then let's hurry up and go." Old Ed was the kind of person who had no other hobbies besides researching potions. As soon as he finished issuing the quest, he was ready to get to work.
"Do you know where the Snowman's mountain is?" Li Huailin asked.
"I know, I know. Come with me," Old Ed said immediately.
Following Old Ed, Li Huailin headed west of the village. Soon, the two of them arrived at the foot of a relatively tall mountain. Li Huailin looked up. The mountain was really quite beautiful, mainly because it had just snowed. Now, the whole mountain was covered in white snow. It looked very magnificent.
"This is Gotilla Mountain," Old Ed said. "The Snowman should be on the mountain."
"Then let's go," Li Huailin said.
Just as the two of them were about to move forward, they suddenly heard a few roars in front of them. Li Huailin immediately looked up. Not far ahead, there were a few moving "snow blocks". Looking closely, the "snow blocks" had a red name above their heads, which said "Berserk Snowman."
Li Huailin looked carefully. It turned out that these "snow blocks" were the Berserk Snowman he was looking for. Because the mountain was covered in white snow, and the Snowman's entire body was white, there was no way to notice it from afar. You could only notice it when you walked closer and saw the name.
These snowmen had obviously noticed Li Huailin and Jiang Xiaoyue, and they quickly ran toward them. Li Huailin counted a total of five Snowmen running towards them. They looked a bit like polar bears standing on two feet. Their bodies were similar to polar bears, but their faces didn't look like those of a beast. They looked more like gorillas, which was probably why they were called "Snowmen."
"It's coming! It's coming!" Old Ed was not sure if he was frightened or excited to see his "experimental material," but he pulled Li Huailin and shouted.
"Calm down, calm down," Li Huailin said, then turned on Detect to look at the Snowman's attributes.
Berserk Snowman: Level 52 Health: 5200 Physical Attack: 340 Magic Attack: 0 Physical Defense: 205 Magic Defense: 190
"A bunch of trash …" Li Huailin facepalmed. Weren't these the attributes of a normal Level 52 Wild Creature? He thought that the Snowman's attributes would be stronger after going berserk, but it didn't seem to be anything special.
However, Li Huailin was a little puzzled. This quest to help Old Ed was an A-rank hidden quest. He couldn't just kill these normal Level 52 Wild Creatures and be done with it, right? An A-rank quest wouldn't be this easy. It seemed like there was something else waiting for him.
"Hey, hey. They're coming. " While Li Huailin was in a daze, the five Snowmen had already rushed in front of the two of them. Old Ed quickly pushed Li Huailin and said.
"I saw it." Li Huailin shook his head. He stepped forward and casually swept his hand.
-6102, - 11880 (critical hit), -5907 …
In an instant, three of the five Snowmen that rushed over fell.
