My cousin is becoming a legend.

Chapter 42 Deeper into the Cave

Take Tina home.

Lynn went out and used the teleportation array to return to his room at the White Horse Tavern.

There were no signs that the room had been disturbed.

It seems no one has come in.

Lynn took out the alchemy tools.

I'm going to use all the materials Violet gave me to make potions.

After a process of refining.

All the materials have been used up.

You have successfully crafted: Blacklight Moon Leopard Potion (Second Grade)

[Alchemist entry progress +0.1%]

[Proficiency +1]

【Crafting Blacklight Moon Leopard Potion (Level 0, 11/100)】

There are eleven doses of medicine in total.

Lynn cleaned up the scene and poured the medicine into the bottles one by one.

As long as there is enough medicine, he is invincible.

Dark energy detected entering.

[Shadow Scout's Third Star: 10%......70%......100%]

[Shadow Scout's Fourth Star: 30%......60%......100%]

[Shadow Scout's Fifth Star: 1%......7%......12%]

Finally, it stopped on the fifth star.

Lynn's physical abilities improved once again.

He currently has no rivals within his realm, and should be able to put up a fight against an 8-star opponent.

They're very close to being able to compete with Narell.

Lynn retrieved the alchemy device into her ring and teleported back to the vicinity of her home.

When she got home, her uncle and aunt were surrounding Tina, asking her all sorts of questions with concern.

Tina didn't react in any particular way.

When she saw Lynn return, a hint of smugness appeared on her face.

Lynn felt a little confused, went over and messed up her hair, then went back to her room.

He was waiting for nightfall.

Tonight, he's going to check on the situation with that forbidden mercury.

Time passed slowly.

It was already late at night.

Lynn sat up in bed and changed into a night outfit to cover her face.

He cannot wear armor this time.

The monster is forbidden mercury of fire energy.

Once attacked, the iron armor on their body will instantly turn into a scorching hot iron plate.

Traveling light not only makes it easier to take off clothes, but also increases speed and makes you less likely to be attacked.

Lynn finished tidying up his equipment and then activated the teleportation array.

During this time, his multiple teleportations had already used up a small portion of the magic Violet had left him.

Use the remaining teleportation opportunities with caution.

After several teleportations, Lynn left the city.

He hurried towards the cave and soon arrived at the location.

It's already autumn, and the nights are quite cold.

White vapor slowly rose from the large underground cave.

The surrounding area was a mess.

It was a charred campsite and littered with unidentified human tissue that reeked of burnt smell.

It must have been those unfortunate soldiers.

Lynn pulled out a bottle of fire retardant and drank it.

He walked straight into the cave.

The cave was originally a vertical cave.

However, due to the frantic escape of the subterranean creatures, a steep and winding dirt road has been carved out.

Lynn carefully slid down the dirt road.

He could feel the temperature gradually rising.

There was no feeling of darkness at all inside the cave.

It gets brighter the further down you go.

After sliding for about two or three minutes, Lynn finally reached the bottom of the cave.

His clothes were completely soaked by then.

The air temperature here must be over 80 degrees Celsius.

If he hadn't drunk the fire-retardant, he probably would have been roasted alive.

Lynn wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Probe inside the hole, which had been melted into stone by the high temperature.

Soon, he saw the towering, mercury monster, as tall as a small mountain.

A terrifying heat wave continuously emanated from its body.

It remained motionless, seemingly asleep.

The ground trembled continuously as it breathed.

Lynn carefully hid behind the rock.

He silently chanted a spell in his mind and attempted to launch the first wave of mental attack on it.

The incantation is complete.

The mental energy shot out a wave of energy through the air like an arrow, heading straight for the core of the forbidden mercury.

Lynn's face immediately turned pale.

For him now, launching a mental attack is far too difficult.

However, against this kind of forbidden mercury of the foolish beast level, as long as you can successfully attack it once, you can completely stun it.

Everything has a price tag attached in secret.

Forbidden Mercury, an outrageous monster immune to physical damage, is as fragile as a kitten when faced with mental attacks.

Next, he only needs to wait for its energy core to automatically surface before he can choose to subdue it.

With that thought in mind, Lynn launched a mental attack on Forbidden Mercury.

In just a moment.

The once relatively calm Mercury Mountain suddenly became agitated.

A painful roar echoed throughout the land.

What was originally a mass of forbidden mercury, resembling a small hill, has now bared its claws and transformed into a ferocious and monstrous python.

It was trembling violently.

The surrounding stone walls and clods of earth were shattered by this violent force.

The sudden turn of events made Lynn feel uneasy.

Damn.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lynn ran backward at top speed.

This is not the forbidden mercury of the Foolish Beast level at all!

It is a forbidden mercury that is at least at the level of intelligence!

Lynn took off running.

The stone wall behind them was constantly collapsing, but the monster swept away a vacuum again.

He sprang out of the hole at incredible speed.

Lynn didn't stop, but continued running into the distance.

Due to the continuous destructive effects of forbidden mercury underground, the surrounding ground is already in varying degrees of collapse.

The nearby vineyards also appear to have been affected.

Lynn saw a cloud of dust rise from there.

It seems there won't be much of a harvest this year.

Although Lynn did not obtain the forbidden mercury tonight, he was still pleased to see the disregard for human life by Baron Nareel suffer losses.

After running for two kilometers, Lynn finally stopped.

He leaned against a tree, panting heavily.

No.

They all miscalculated.

Both Turner and himself underestimated this forbidden mercury.

If this forbidden mercury were to completely erupt, not only would the nearby villages be destroyed, but the city would likely also be affected.

We need to find a way to get Nareel's men out of there.

But he couldn't tell Brown directly about it, so how could he let him know...?

Lynn pondered.

Suddenly, he had a good idea.

Since he can't let Nareel's men pass through, why can't he let the mercury monster come out on its own?

Lead it to the vicinity of the alchemy workshop!

After observing for several days, Lynn has roughly deduced the locations of several alchemy workshops.

There are very few places like this, where there are no villages and the manor is very close to the city.

Moreover, Lynn specifically asked passersby to observe which city gate the carriage exited from in the morning.

He has now completely figured out the location of the alchemy workshop.

The Alchemy Workshop is definitely a great location.

There are no villages there, so there's no need to worry about harming innocent people.

And Brown will definitely take this seriously.

After all, that was the culmination of his life's work.

It is estimated that all the resources of Nareel's territory have flowed there.

This not only gives him the possibility of obtaining a forbidden mercury of the Spiritual level, but also weakens Nareel's strength.

That's a great idea!

Lynn's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

The mountain does not come to me; I go to the mountain myself.

Oops, wrong channel!

Lynn acted immediately.

He had this idea, and naturally he also had the corresponding methods.

Generally speaking, energy-rich organisms like forbidden mercury are extremely reclusive and rarely leave their birthplace.

Their purpose in existing in this world seems to be to continuously destroy until their energy is completely depleted.

However, there is one exception that allows these otaku to step outside.

That is to steal their products!

All forbidden mercury is a natural flow of energy.

The reason for their emergence is unknown.

However, their birth must have an object to which they depend.

This object can be just an ordinary rock, or it could be a large tree.

In short, forbidden mercury grows in them during infancy and then detaches from them.

They become extremely dependent on this object.

It was as if this ordinary thing was their mother.

And what Lynn is going to do now.

It's because it stole its mother!
