What was that smell?
Alchemists had a very sensitive sense of smell. Who released their alchemy products? Some of them turned to look behind them.
"Ah!" Screams of terror rang out. A series of screams rang out from time to time. No one had expected that there would be someone behind them. If one of the alchemists who was still alive had not crushed his alchemy product, they would all be dead by now.
The bloody corpses, the ambushers, and the ruthlessness of the masked men as they killed sent chills down everyone's spine.
However, most of the people here were famous people in the alchemy community on Dankwood planet. Who had not been in battle before? They immediately released their alchemy products. Colorful smoke rose into the air, shrouding the entire area. Figures could be seen in the smoke.
The scene became chaotic.
Ye Chong sat on the ground, panting heavily. His mind was blank after the intense exercise. He looked blankly at the thick smoke in the room. Ye Chong placed his hands on the ground, and was hit by a broken piece of an alchemy bottle. He felt a pain in his hand, and winced. The pain woke him up immediately.
The floor was littered with broken alchemy bottles. His efforts over the past few days were all gone. The snake was too fast. Even the fragments of the alchemy flasks that were smashed by it were moving at a frightening speed. It was the second wave of destruction from these broken alchemy bottles. Most of the alchemy bottles in the room were destroyed.
A sweet smell came from the smoke. Ye Chong woke up with a start. He cursed under his breath and scrambled to his feet, ignoring his exhaustion.
Only then did he remember that he had concocted a few terrifying items. Could those alchemy flasks have been broken as well? Ye Chong felt a sense of foreboding. He knew how powerful those things were. Besides, the smoke pearl he had was only effective against hallucinogenic alchemy products. He did not want to test the power of those things himself.
Ye Chong picked up the wooden spear from the ground, and stumbled to the door. His eyes fell on the wooden box beside the doorknob. Ye Chong happily brought it out of the room.
The smoke in front of him knocked Guang Wei out. However, he did not know that this was how he managed to survive.
Looking down from the city lord's vantage point, it had already become hell on earth. This group of ambushers had clearly given up on all apprehensions and had made up their minds to attack. Without any probing or prelude, the battle entered its climax right from the start.
When the maidservant who had been waiting outside the door saw the mysterious alchemist suddenly appear in front of her, she was shocked. Ever since the alchemist moved in, he had never stepped out of his room. She had heard the commotion in the room, but ever since she started serving the alchemist, there would be commotion in the room. She had gotten used to it, so she did not pay much attention to it.
"What are you doing?" She could not help but ask respectfully as she looked at Ye Chong, who was holding a staff in one hand and a box in the other. Judging from his appearance, it seemed that he was about to leave. She was quite puzzled. Although she did not dare to stop him, she was calculating in her heart that she had to immediately inform the City Lord of this news.
With the box in his hand, Ye Chong felt reassured. Whether it was the map or the reward that Han Yue had given him last time, he stuffed them all into the box. On the contrary, the various raw materials inside had shrunk severely. The research these days had led to a serious consumption of raw materials. However, it could not be helped. If he wanted to make significant progress in the short term, he would have to pay a hefty price.
"It's nothing," Ye Chong replied politely. It was a reflex. However, his attention was quickly diverted to something else. He suddenly had a good idea.
He looked around, and his eyes fell on a vase by the door. Ye Chong took the vase, pulled out the fresh flowers from the vase, and threw them on the carpet.
What was he doing? The maidservant looked at the legendary alchemist in shock, but could not understand what he was trying to do. This vase was very expensive. She could not even afford it with her entire year's salary. These fresh flowers had just been changed this morning. They had been delivered by the largest flower garden in Emerald City.
Ye Chong did not speak. He tested the vase's quality, and was satisfied with it.
He immediately took out a few reagents and began to mix them in the corridor.
The maidservant watched curiously as the alchemist threw all sorts of strange things into the vase. His left hand moved gently in a rhythmic pattern.
The rumors about the alchemist were spreading like wildfire. She looked at the vase in Ye Chong's hand nervously, wondering what would be inside? She was a little afraid and a little curious. To her, Ye Chong was like a magician, and now he was performing a magic trick.
Ye Chong looked at the final product in the vase with satisfaction. The bottom of the white vase was filled with a yellowish viscous liquid. The liquid was almost half the bottle.
"Take a few steps back," Ye Chong said to the maidservant.
The maidservant quickly took a few steps back.
"A few more steps back."
The maidservant took another seven or eight steps back. Once she stood still, she looked at the alchemist curiously, anticipating his next move.
Ye Chong held the vase carefully in his hand, his expression solemn. If any combat experts were here, they would notice that Ye Chong's hands did not even tremble, as if they were made of steel.
Ye Chong did not understand why the people outside attacked him. However, since he had just escaped death, he did not plan to reason with them. He wanted to teach them a lesson, a big one!
His room was already filled with all sorts of alchemy products. Perhaps it was a habit of his, but the number of lethal alchemy products he made was much higher than the other types of alchemy products.
He would not dare to enter this room now. There were some powerful alchemy products in there. If one did not prepare well, they would most likely die. Besides, there were many different types of alchemy. Mixing them together like this could lead to new changes.
Ye Chong transferred the vase to his right hand, and held the door handle with his left.
He took a deep breath, opened the door slightly, and threw the vase in his right hand into the room. Before the vase landed on the ground, he closed the door. Then, he got into a stance of brute force, and blocked the door with all his might.
Bang!
A muffled sound. The door shook violently, but the pomegranate wood door was of high quality, and remained intact.
The maidservant's face turned pale, and she covered her mouth with both hands, trying not to make a sound. That muffled sound had scared her quite a bit, and her heart was still beating wildly. What was he doing? Her pale blue eyes were filled with panic and helplessness.
Ye Chong left without a moment's delay. It was best for him to leave this place as soon as possible. The maidservant was stunned by the scene before her, and stood there numbly.
Ye Chong's move was brutal.
He had thrown an explosive agent into the room. This explosive agent was much more powerful than the one he made in the tent the other day. With such an explosion, even the intact alchemy flasks in his room would shatter on the spot. The room was well sealed, and the only entrances were the door and the window. The door was already blocked by him, so the window became the only exit. The shockwave from the explosion rushed out of the window. The number of alchemy ingredients in the shockwave had reached a terrifying level.
The alchemists and the ambushers were fighting not far from the window. The destructive airflow had dealt a devastating blow to them.
Qi Wei and Pei Lidu were the first to react. Both of them were shocked. They were not Grandmasters in alchemy, but they had years of experience in alchemy, and knew how powerful the airflow was.
Guang Wei's luck could be said to be extremely good. Since he had been pushing forward, he was now in between Qi Wei and Pei Lidu. Thanks to the two of them, he was able to survive the airflow.
A frontal attack was a battle of strength, and there were few shortcuts, especially against a heavily guarded place like the Mayor's Manor.
However, they had no other choice. Now was the time when the City Lord's Mansion was at its weakest. In a few days, not only would a group of combatants from the nearby towns arrive, but the Han Family's most elite troops would also arrive in a few days.
But could they really take it down? The ambusher leader looked at the stubborn defense of the Mayor's Manor, and his eyes flashed with worry.
Ye Chong ran along the corridor.
Bang! The window shattered, and a figure leapt towards him amidst the flying debris.
Ye Chong reacted quickly. He lifted the wooden spear in his hand, and thrust it towards the man's throat.
Pfft! Blood blossomed! The man's back darkened, and Ye Chong rushed in, crashing into the ambusher.
Ye Chong was like a mech moving at high speed, while the dead ambusher was like a sandbag, flying out of the window. The person behind the ambusher probably didn't expect to encounter such a situation and immediately panicked. It was too sudden, and Ye Chong did not give him time to think. The ambusher instinctively tried to catch his companion.
Bang! The two sandbags collided! They fell towards the window.
Ye Chong ignored them, and continued to run forward.
Just as he stepped out of an arched door, he was surprised by the scene before him.
