"Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! "
For the time being, the rampaging lizards on the shore did not seem to have decreased by much.
On the Storm Horn anchored in the middle of the lagoon.
Since it involved the mysterious Transcendent world, the ordinary crew could not help at all. Elvin only called Milan and Gary over to discuss countermeasures.
"We've probably barged into the nest of these giant lizards and killed so many of their kind. It's impossible to hope that we'll be safe."
Although the Storm Horn had temporarily obtained a breather, there was an even greater danger lurking behind. Elvin analyzed the current situation for the two in a low voice.
"During the day, they will be damaged by the 'Siren's Song' like the ordinary lizards in the material world. But at night, they are almost immune to physical attacks.
At that time, they can directly dive from the sea, jump onto the ship, and instantly drown everything on the ship.
So, if we want the Storm Horn to last until the sun rises again tomorrow, we have to kill them before nightfall! "
After saying that, he looked encouragingly at the other two Transcendents on the ship, hoping that they could give him some advice.
"Boss! You just need to tell me where to charge, I'll listen to you, Boss! "
Gary's muffled voice came from under the full helmet. After Gary completed the Transcendence advancement and equipment upgrade, he had gradually transformed into a true berserker.
"Don't ask how many enemies there are, just ask where the enemies are!"
Well, the life creed of a berserker was that simple.
He already understood that asking Gary would be a waste of time. He was never a handsome man, but he was a first-class fighter. But now, the key was that even if Wushuang cut grass, he would not be able to cut a grassland …
He then turned his gaze to Milan.
"Elvin, you know me!"
Milan nodded heavily and gave Elvin an extremely determined look.
Their tacit understanding allowed Elvin to clearly read the meaning in his eyes: Teacher! I don't know how to answer this question!
Sigh —
Holding his forehead with his hand, Elvin felt that he really needed a think-tank on his ship. It didn't need to be that good at making decisions, but it would be good to be able to give him ideas at critical moments and expand his thinking.
Tap … tap … tap …
Pacing back and forth, Elvin took stock of the power he could use.
There were 18 24-pounder cannons, 20 12-pounder cannons, 10 9-pounder cannons, and two 6-pounder cannons on the stern. There were a total of 284 crew members.
For this cruise, Storm Horn had not fired a single shot. Now, the ammunition depot was still fully loaded, allowing each cannon to fire 86 standard shells (including solid shells). There was still some gunpowder left.
Other than the regular forces, there were also five boxes of "alchemy bombs" that could only be equipped with battleships. There were also two boxes of eight bombs in his "magic pocket".
If these things were used to deal with human infantry, there would be no problem at all.
Humans knew fear and knew how to escape. Even if it was an elite army of a kingdom, it would not be far from collapse after losing more than 30% of its members.
But if he wanted to deal with a tide of lizards, the efficiency of killing … was too low!
It would be the same even if he added the three Transcendents and all the crew members.
As for [Monsoon Goddess], [Secret Treasure of the Sea: Mist Silver Lamp], and [God's Gift: Golden Compass], they were of no use at all. The use of all the treasures was based on the premise that Storm Horn had the most basic mobility.
As for the item at the bottom of the magic pocket. Elvin would never use it unless he was in a desperate situation. The side effects were too great!
So in the end, he still had to think of a solution from his old profession of being a "wizard".
"Since there are many enemies, and their individual strength is only at the level of Transcendence. Then there is the possibility of turning some of the enemies into our own people. Maybe the potion will have unexpected effects … "
Finally having an idea in his mind, Elvin instructed.
"Milan, you're in charge of controlling the Siren's Song. I'll think of something!"
He turned around and rushed to his laboratory on the ship. Although he was not 100% confident, this was the most feasible method Elvin could think of.
Out of trust for Elvin, Milan did not ask any more questions and solemnly promised.
"Don't worry, leave it to me. There won't be any problems before nightfall!"
Bang!
The door of Elvin's laboratory was slammed shut. The two pots of "Hanging Wind Chimes" on the test bench that looked like a row of small lanterns were instantly lit up, emitting a bright and gentle "light".
Now, Elvin had almost completed the prerequisites of the "Psychic Potion" series, but there were still two mountains in front of him that he could not cross.
In the early stages, he would use dozens of different potions to gain a deeper understanding of human and biological bodies.
He would target the muscles, bones, blood, internal organs, nerves, brain, and other organs, as well as the main systems such as the motor system, the circulatory system, the respiratory system, the digestive system, the endocrine system …
There would be corresponding potions to influence and even control different parts of the human body and functional areas.
When he finally came to the "Psychic Potion", he still needed to complete two special potions and use them to touch the human's … emotions and soul!
That was the "Frenzy Potion" that represented all the instincts of the "Self" body, and the "Sage Potion" that represented the idealized supreme morality of the "Superego".
After moving these two mountains, Elvin would be able to concoct the "Psychic Potion" that represented the "Self" complete free will!
The other two potions were temporarily put aside. At this time, Elvin thought of a way to break out of this situation was to concoct the "Frenzy Potion" as quickly as possible!
This potion sounded similar to the extraordinary ability of the "Banished Prisoner" that could release the "wild nature", but in fact, the effect was a hundred times more domineering.
The instinctive desires of humans mainly included: the desire to survive, appetite, lust, sleep, greed (possessiveness), desire to show off, desire to indulge …
One could imagine the terrifying scene of stimulating all the instinctive desires at the bottom of the human body in an instant.
And when these instinctive and extreme desires were infinitely magnified by the potion, even the "Zombies" that claimed to be born for appetites would be nothing compared to it!
Standing in front of the experiment bench, Elvin was a qualified researcher. His mood had calmed down, and he had temporarily put aside the danger of the outside world.
The concoction of high-end potions was different from the foolproof operation of the "Black Sea Potion". In order to eliminate all unexpected factors, Elvin repeatedly washed the crucible with distilled water, and then used heated air to quickly dry it.
Elvin took a deep breath and officially began the concoction.
The standard dosage of a portion in the formula:
"1 liter of clear volcanic spring water, 10 grams of Raging Hamster's front tooth powder, 3 grams of Raufflewood roots, 5 stone lotus seeds of all sizes, 7 pieces of Autumn Cicada's right wing …"
Using an alcohol lamp to heat up, Elvin placed the various potion ingredients that he had long collected into the crucible strictly according to the requirements of the formula.
After boiling slowly for ten minutes, Elvin began to add the body parts of the second type of Transcendent Creature, the "Red-eyed Gecko's Broken Tail".
He used tweezers to clamp out a gray gecko's tail from a small glass bottle. Although it had been separated from its mother's body for an unknown period of time, the tail was still wriggling in an attempt to escape.
Elvin's expression did not change as he threw it into the orange-yellow medicinal liquid that was constantly churning.
Gurgle gurgle …
Countless fine bubbles instantly surged up, and the boiling medicinal liquid quickly turned blood-red.
However, the violent reaction did not seem to have any intention of stopping!
Acutely aware of something, Elvin instantly retreated.
The next moment.
A red column of smoke that looked like a tentacle suddenly emerged from the middle of the medicinal liquid, and it kept wriggling in the air as if it was trying to grab something.
After a full half a minute, the column of smoke that did not yield anything suddenly exploded, turning into a red smoke ring that rose in spirals.
Looking at the medicinal liquid in the crucible again, it had completely turned back to clear water.
"Failure!"
"This situation …? Although the cicada's wing just now has completely dissipated, the combination of spirituality within it is still not perfect enough. Next time, be a little more patient. "
The biggest difference between the concoction of Transcendent potions and that of ordinary potioneers was that even if the potion was completely concocted according to the formula, and the dosage and time were not the slightest bit off, there was no guarantee that the desired product would be concocted.
It required the participation of the Sorcerer's own "spirituality" to grasp the changes in the medicinal properties of various materials, and to grasp the balance at any time.
Using the soul to record that moment that could only be understood but not described in words, this was the true secret of the concoction of potions!
It was also the root cause of all kinds of mysterious creations, including alchemy tools, that could never be mass-produced by machines!
