Suddenly, without any warning, the Fangwolves around him fell down in droves. Han Yue did not notice the strange man's hands moving at all.
How was that possible? Not only Han Yue, but everyone else who had noticed this strange man had a look of disbelief on their faces.
"This man is strange!" Han Yue frowned and muttered to himself. To him, the strange man was most likely an alchemist. AoE attacks were the specialty of alchemists. However, no matter how fast an alchemist could move, they would not be able to do it without leaving a trace, let alone in front of a group of combat experts. From this point of view, the strange man seemed to fit the characteristics of a mentalist. Mentalists were undoubtedly the best when it came to the element of surprise and concealment. However, no one had ever heard of a mentalist strong enough to kill so many fangwolves in a group. Combat expert? Although he had displayed a decent amount of strength in his kick, no one would associate him with a Grandmaster of Combat.
Who was this man? Everyone had the same thought at the same time.
Ye Chong ignored the surprised looks from the group. They could not see his movements on the glider. Before he jumped off the glider, he opened a few leaf pouches with hallucinogens on his waist. A thick, colorless, narcotic gas had already gathered around him. These hallucinogens had ingredients that could speed up their diffusion in the air, which made them spread at an alarming rate.
Only Ye, who had the smoke pearl, could do this. It was no wonder that Han Yue and the rest were curious.
The sky was clear and windless. The hallucinogens were not spreading fast enough, and only formed a 30-meter radius around Ye Chong. In this area, apart from him, none of the fanged wolves could stand up.
In the middle of the endless wolf pack, there was a 30-meter radius of empty space, filled with wolf carcasses. In the center, a strangely dressed man stood with two boxes. The wolves outside were restless, but none of them dared to move forward.
Strange, definitely strange! Even though Han Yue and the rest had traveled extensively and seen many people, this was the first time they encountered something like this.
Ye Chong heaved a sigh of relief as the hallucinogen worked. Although he still had many tricks up his sleeves, it would be best if he could use the simplest method to solve the problem. The Black Forest was full of treasures, but he would never enter it without a mech. This also meant that the items he brought out from that place would be used up as little as possible. There were some things, such as the Crimson Sand Dehydration, that he did not even know the method of alchemy. He did not want to use them all before he figured it out.
Ye Chong decided to leave. He got his bearings. There was a big river not far away, and he quickly came up with an idea. It would not go wrong to walk along the river.
Seeing that the strange man was about to leave, Han Yue and the others came to their senses.
"Han Yue of the Han Family begs for Senior's help!" Han Yue shouted at Ye Chong's back. His throat was dry from the previous battle, and his voice was hoarse and unpleasant to the ear.
Han Family? Ye Chong stopped. He remembered that Huang Baiyi had mentioned that there were two tribes on Dankwood planet with starships, and one of them was the Han Family.
Seeing that the strange person had stopped, Han Yue was delighted, but his tone became even more humble. "If Senior is willing to help, the Han Family will definitely reward you generously!" This sentence was said resolutely, making others feel that he was definitely not just saying it for show. Han Yue glanced at his comrades who were still struggling to hold on. He was anxious, but he did not dare to show it. In his mind, Ye Chong was already regarded as a reclusive senior expert. He knew that these experts were usually eccentric, and so he was more careful.
"Reward?" Ye Chong understood the term. He turned around and asked, "What reward?" His question sounded very natural. The principle of fair trade was something that Mu and Shang had repeatedly emphasized to him. He remembered it well, and had basically accepted it. The way he saw it, he had nothing to do with these people, and had no obligation to save them. If it was a fair trade, he could accept it.
Many of the people around Han Yue looked at him with disdain. What was infuriating was that this strange man was still asking for a price so slowly at such a critical moment. Every second that passed, there was a chance that someone would fall. They were disdainful that the strange man was a reclusive expert, and did not expect him to be so unscrupulous.
Han Yue did not think so. He was secretly pleased that the man seemed to be interested in his proposal. He was afraid that the man would not budge. Now that he had spoken, things would be much easier. He was confident in his family's strength. On Dankwood planet, the Han Family would not be able to do anything they could not do. The most important thing now was to escort the old lady back home.
"What is your request, Senior?" Han Yue asked carefully.
Ye Chong tilted his head in thought.
No matter how they felt about this strange man, they all knew that their only hope of survival lay in this man. Other than the outermost warriors who were still resisting the werewolves, the rest of the people watched the strange man nervously, not daring to make a sound.
After a long moment, Ye Chong made his request, "Money and a map." Ye Chong was penniless, and needed money. The map was also one of the things he needed the most right now, or he would not be able to tell where he was, and would have to venture into places like the Black Forest.
As for finding Rui Bing and the others, he could only do it in secret, and not with the help of the Han Family.
Han Yue heaved a sigh of relief, and replied quickly, "No problem, I will fulfill your request, Senior. However, please lead us away from the wolf pack. "He was afraid that the strange man would make some strange request, and that would be troublesome. Money was just a number to the Han Family. He remembered that the head of the family once said that anything that could be done with money was not difficult. As for the map, it was even easier. The Han Family had the most complete map of Dankwood planet. It was not a secret, and it would not be inconvenient to make a copy.
"Alright!" Ye Chong agreed readily, seeing that the man had agreed to his request. Ye Chong grabbed the two bags hanging from his waist and walked around the perimeter of the group's defensive position. The wolves surrounding them immediately fainted.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. The soldiers, who were already at their limits, fell to the ground, panting. Ye Chong had controlled the amount of hallucinogen very precisely, and did not affect Han Yue and his men.
So it was an alchemist. Han Yue heaved a sigh of relief. As long as he knew the man's occupation, there would be a way to deal with him. It was not that Han Yue wanted to go back on his word, but he was just being cautious. He had to be careful when dealing with a person of unknown origin.
"You're good, Senior!" Han Yue was not trying to flatter him, but sincerely. Seeing how easily the man had dealt with the wolves surrounding them, he was confident that they could get out of this place alive. The alchemists under Han Yue were looking at Ye Chong with respect. They did not recognize any of the hallucinogens Ye Chong used, and Ye Chong was becoming more and more mysterious to them. Besides, Ye Chong's precise control over the dosage of the hallucinogen impressed them even more.
"Can you tell his school?" Han Yue glanced at the strange man and asked Bibia softly. Bibia was from the Suyu School, and was the best alchemist Han Yue had brought with him. On Dankwood planet, the Suyu School might not be as famous as the Qian School, but it was still a major school with a long history. People like Bibia, who came from a prestigious family, were usually very knowledgeable.
Bibia was rather short and thin, but his eyes were exceptionally quick-witted. However, his intelligent eyes were now filled with doubt. He shook his head and said, "I don't know either. He must be using a few very powerful hallucinogens. Such powerful hallucinogens are probably on par with the Qian School's Illusion. His methods are complicated, and they're all very rare. "
In fact, Bibia had overestimated Ye Chong. Ye Chong's hallucinogens were powerful, but they were still not as powerful as the Qian School's Illusion. However, Bibia had never seen Illusion before, which was why he thought so.
Han Yue could not help but ask, "Could it be the Qian School?" There were three famous schools that used hallucinogens - the Qian School, the Hanming School, and the Jiu Family. The Qian School's Illusion, the Hanming School's Ice, and the Jiu Family's Intoxication were the three most famous hallucinogens. Of these three schools, only the Qian School was on Dankwood planet, which was why Han Yue asked.
Bibia shook his head again. "No. His hallucinogens are extremely potent, while the Qian School's hallucinogens are long-lasting. They're completely different. " A few seconds later, Bibia smiled bitterly and said, "He's already used at least 12 different methods, but I don't recognize any of them."
The other alchemists around him shared the same expression. Shock, envy, and bitterness were written all over their faces.
Ye Chong took a look at the drugged fangwolves on the ground, and kept his leaf pouch. If he walked into Han Yue's group just like that, they would all be knocked out.
Everyone looked at Ye Chong with respect. Ye Chong's display of strength was enough to earn his respect.
The guards who were originally guarding outside immediately surrounded the old lady at lightning speed. They looked at Ye Chong cautiously, their eyes filled with caution.
"Watch your manners." The Old Lady scolded the guards, and smiled warmly. "Young sir, please don't be angry. They're overreacting." Given her age, she could naturally address Ye Chong as young sir.
Ye Chong nodded and ignored them. He didn't want to complicate matters. With his insight, he could naturally see how powerful these ten guards were. He did not want to cause any unnecessary trouble.
He was thinking about how to escape the wolf pack with these people. If he was alone, the amount of hallucinogens he had on him was naturally enough. However, with such a large group of people, the hallucinogens were far from enough.
He had to think of another way.
