Ye Chong's hands moved quickly. This was the first time he had ever used such speed in alchemy. In front of him was an average-sized alchemy flask, filled with many ingredients. Ye Chong was also adding all sorts of reagents into the flask at an alarming rate. He did not add a lot of reagents each time, but he did it quickly.
His hands moved in the air like a blur.
He had come up with a brilliant idea, and what he needed to do now was to verify the actual effect of his idea.
The solution in the flask vibrated violently, like boiling water. However, Ye Chong did not stop. Small amounts of various reagents were added into the flask.
Ye Chong's expression turned grim as he pressed his lips together. He had the smoke pearl ring in his mouth, just in case. He buried the two chests underground. The five ambushers' hesitation and unsure of where to start gave him enough time to finish everything.
When the last reagent was added into the flask, something shocking happened.
Bang!
A muffled sound. His tent was torn to shreds by the strong air current.
With him as the center, the intense ring-shaped airflow spread out in all directions at lightning speed, and the seemingly solid smoke was also blown away. The sudden change caught everyone off guard. The strong air current blew past them like a gust of wind, reaching every corner of the campsite.
However, wherever the air current passed, the people who were fighting each other fell to the ground without a sound, like wheat being cut down.
The only one left standing in the campsite was Ye Chong. However, he looked like a joke now. His face was covered in dust, black and yellow, and he was unrecognizable. The clothes on his body were almost completely torn. Fortunately, his pants were strong enough, so he was not completely naked.
Ye Chong looked at the fallen people in the campsite, satisfied with the result. He suddenly realized that his creative idea had achieved such a good result. This was something he did not expect. In his original plan, it was enough to deal with these five people. However, the result was far better than he expected.
It was actually very simple. Ye Chong had just created an explosion. Of course, it was a mild explosion. Producing a large amount of gas in a short amount of time was a simple task for an alchemist. The shockwave formed by the small explosion spread in all directions, radiating to every corner of the camp.
These air currents were not lethal at all. Even to ordinary people, it was just a slightly stronger gust of wind. However, Ye Chong had already sprayed more than 30 types of hallucinogens in the air around the tent. It could be said that in this narrow space, the concentration of the hallucinogen had reached an outrageous level.
The airflow formed by the explosion blew the air mixed with a variety of anesthetic and hallucinogens to every corner of the camp.
Due to the attack of the wolves not long ago, the number of people was very high. Han Yue tried to shrink the layout of the camp, so the scope of the entire camp was not large. The airflow's radiation covered the entire camp.
All of Ye Chong's hallucinogens were known for their strong effects. Without any preparation, everyone fell into the trap. Whether it was the Han Clan's people or the ambushers, they all fell without exception.
Ye Chong realized that alchemists were actually more suited for ambushes. However, he quickly dismissed the thought. These hallucinogens cost a lot of precious ingredients. If he had not gained a lot from the Black Forest, he would not have been able to do this. Besides, the intensity of the explosion was troublesome to control. His body was also strong enough to withstand the impact. If it were any other alchemist, being at the center of the explosion, they would have died, or at least died.
This plan consumed too many materials, and there was a certain degree of danger.
If it were in the Five Galaxies, it would be even worse. The space of the Five Galaxies was the main battlefield. Mech battles were the most common way of fighting. These hallucinogens were useless.
After all these experiences, Ye Chong had a deeper understanding of the strength and advantages of mechs. Be it the Five Galaxies or the He Yue Galaxy, mech pilots were still the main force. He Yue Galaxy might seem to have a lot of combat experts, but they were actually the foundation of mech pilots. Training for mech pilots was the most fundamental goal of mech pilots.
What was the point of thinking about this now? Ye Chong laughed self-deprecatingly. There was no such thing as an absolute power. Choosing the right power in the right situation was the right choice.
The murderous battlefield was now quiet. Ye Chong quickly found Han Yue. Han Yue was lying on the ground, looking indescribably peaceful. It was said that the hallucinogens were originally used to induce sleep, but were later used by alchemists as a means of self-defense.
It looked like he would have to make a lot of awakening agents. Ye Chong smiled bitterly as he looked at the people lying on the ground.
The first person to wake up was Han Yue. Ye Chong felt that it was best to leave this to him.
Han Yue opened his eyes. After a few seconds of confusion, he quickly calmed down. Ye Chong was impressed. It seemed that this man had a strong mind.
However, when Han Yue saw the people lying on the ground, he was dumbfounded. He stammered, "What … What happened?"
Ye Chong was stumped. He did not know how to explain, so he kept quiet.
"You … You did all this?" Han Yue stared at Ye Chong in disbelief. He had unknowingly used honorifics on him.
"Yes." Ye Chong nodded. He did not deny it, but he did not want to pursue the matter further. He would not make a stupid mistake like telling someone else his method of attack. He changed the topic. "How do we deal with these people?" Ye Chong pointed at the people lying on the ground.
If it were him, he would definitely choose the simplest method, which was to give everyone a shot. The poison on the wooden spear meant that he would not need a second shot.
However, he understood the situation he was in. He did not want to stand out. After all, his identity as an outsider was still a concern to him. If that was the case, he might as well leave it to Han Yue.
"Can, can you wake up my companions?" Han Yue stammered. For some reason, he used to be very cautious when facing this strange person, but now it was completely different. Every time he looked at the unfathomable face of the alchemist, he would feel a chill run down his spine. He was thankful that he was not an enemy of this alchemist, or he would be a corpse by now.
When he thought of how his life was easily in the hands of this strange person, he couldn't help but shudder in his heart.
Ye Chong did not know what Han Yue was thinking. To him, he had only come up with a creative plan. However, to Han Yue, this mysterious alchemist was a terrifying existence that only existed in the legends. To be able to subdue hundreds of experts without anyone noticing was not unprecedented, but it was definitely a glorious achievement. Alchemists had always been a support profession. No one had ever thought that a skilled alchemist could be so terrifying.
Han Yue still did not know what had happened. This only added to the mystery of Ye Chong, and made Han Yue feel even colder.
Humans were always more afraid of the unknown.
Ye Chong handed the awakening potion to Han Yue and left the rest. "I should leave the professional work to the professionals. It's better for me to keep a low profile," Ye Chong thought. However, he probably did not know that everything he did was not about keeping a low profile.
Soon, Han Yue's companions were awakened. The attackers were not so lucky. Most of them were killed while they were unconscious. Only a few people who looked like leaders were left. Han Yue would bring them back for interrogation.
Ye Chong watched the lives vanish before his eyes, but his expression did not change. He had seen too many deaths, and had struggled between life and death many times himself. He was used to seeing things like this.
Han Yue had been watching Ye Chong. When he saw Ye Chong's smoke-covered clown face, he could not help but feel his heart tighten. He immediately raised Ye Chong's danger level to another level.
"Did you find anything?" Han Yue looked at his subordinate's report. They had suffered heavy losses in the ambush. Only 70 of them were still alive, and almost half of them were injured. However, Han Yue displayed the calmness of a leader.
"No." His second-in-command was lucky enough to survive the sneak attack.
"They're child abductors," the Old Mistress said flatly. She walked slowly towards them with the help of the maidservant in white.
"Child abductors!" Han Yue digested the information in his mind. He knew the Old Mistress well enough to know that she would not lie. If she was so sure, she must have her sources. Madam Dowager would never lie to him about this, but why would she be a child abductor?
The thought flashed through his mind, but he quickly suppressed his curiosity and did not ask. He was not in the position to ask such questions. "Madam, you've suffered!" He first bowed to the Old Mistress, then turned around and thanked the person beside him, "The situation was urgent just now, so I didn't have the time to thank Brother Luo for your help. I hope Brother Luo won't blame me!" He was smiling, obviously having a good relationship with this person.
"Sigh, don't you find it annoying?" This Brother Luo pretended to be angry. This Brother Luo was about the same height as Ye Chong, and was not exactly well-built. It was hard to associate him with the expert who had attacked with lightning speed. He looked like a gentleman. While he was not tall, he was tall and straight, and had an air of superiority about him.
His expression did not change. Ye Chong had sharp senses. This Brother Luo gave him a sense of familiarity. However, he was sure that he had never met this person before.
Most people would think that they were just imagining things, but Ye Chong did not. But Ye Chong didn't. He carefully observed this person, but he couldn't find any clues. However, that trace of familiarity still lingered in his heart, and this made Ye Chong pay more attention to him in secret.
However, who was this person?
