Chương 23: 23 How did he know I was suited to cultivate poison attributes?

Little Fairy Doctor frowned as she looked at the group of Wolf Head Mercenaries in front of her.

"I'm not going."

She spoke.

The voice wasn't loud, but the attitude was very firm.

The burly man at the head of the group frowned.

"Little Fairy Doctor, our leader is honoring you by inviting you over."

He said coldly.

"Don't be ungrateful."

Little Fairy Doctor stood up and looked at them.

"I told you, I'm not going."

Her voice turned colder.

The big man's face instantly turned ugly.

"That's not up to you."

He took a step forward.

Several mercenaries behind them also surrounded them.

"The commander said we must bring you back today."

"That's what the big man said."

"If you cooperate obediently, it will save everyone trouble."

"If you don't cooperate, don't blame us for being impolite."

Little Fairy Doctor's face turned pale.

She took a step back.

These people are trying to forcibly take her away.

The burly man reached out and grabbed at Little Fairy Doctor's wrist.

Just then, a hand reached out from the side.

He grabbed the big man's wrist.

The big man's hand stopped in mid-air.

He turned his head.

A snake-man boy stood in front of Little Fairy Doctor.

It was Lu Chen.

The burly man looked Lu Chen up and down.

A snake-tailed human.

"Snake-man?"

A look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Then it turned into greed.

"I'm lucky to have run into a snake-man."

The big man laughed.

"The scales and gallbladders of snake people can fetch a lot of money on the black market."

The mercenaries behind him also laughed.

"Brother, this snake-man doesn't look very old, so he's probably not very strong."

"A mercenary said."

"Kill him, and you can sell his body for a good price."

Another mercenary added.

The big man nodded.

"Kill this snake-man first, then take Little Fairy Doctor back."

He said.

Several mercenaries rushed towards Lu Chen at the same time.

The mercenary at the front drew a short knife from his waist and stabbed Lu Chen in the chest.

Little Fairy Doctor's expression changed upon seeing this scene.

"Be careful!"

She blurted it out.

Lu Chen stood still, his feet not moving an inch.

He raised his hand and struck out with his palm.

boom!

The mercenary's body flew backward and crashed into the earthen wall on the side of the street.

The wall shattered with a crash, sending bricks and stones flying everywhere.

Blood gushed from the mercenary's mouth, and he died on the spot.

The second mercenary rushed up right after.

Lu Chen struck again.

He was also thrown out, crashed to the ground, twitched once, and then remained still.

The remaining mercenaries stopped in their tracks upon seeing this.

They looked at Lu Chen, their eyes flashing with shock.

This snake-man's strength far exceeded their expectations.

Lu Chen remained silent.

The mercenary took a step back.

Then he turned and ran.

Lu Chen struck out with his palm from a distance.

boom!

The mercenary's body flew out and crashed heavily to the ground.

He struggled to get up, but after only managing to prop himself up halfway, he collapsed to the ground again.

The remaining two mercenaries turned pale with fright.

They exchanged a glance, then turned and ran off in two different directions.

Lu Chen raised his hands.

Two palms were slapped out from a distance.

boom! boom!

Both of their bodies were sent flying at the same time.

In the blink of an eye, all the members of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group lay on the ground.

Little Fairy Doctor stood aside, watching this scene with shock in her eyes.

These people are all elites of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.

But in front of Lu Chen, he couldn't even withstand a single move.

Just how strong is he?

Little Fairy Doctor murmured to herself.

Lu Chen raised his hand, and a deep blue flame ignited in his palm.

Sea Heart Flame.

He threw the flames out.

The flames landed on the corpses and instantly burst into flames.

The deep blue flames devoured everything.

In the blink of an eye, the corpses turned to ashes.

Not even bones were left.

The ground was clean and tidy, as if nothing had happened.

Little Fairy Doctor was even more shocked by what she saw.

Different kind of fire.

She had just witnessed Lu Chen using a strange fire to refine pills.

But now, witnessing the power of the strange fire burning the corpse with his own eyes, he still couldn't help but feel terrified.

"Lu Chen, thank you..."

Little Fairy Doctor spoke up.

If Lu Chen hadn't intervened, she would have been captured by those people.

Lu Chen waved his hand.

Just then, a system notification popped up.

[Quest triggered, further increasing Little Fairy Doctor's favorability.] [A random reward will be given upon completion of the task.] Lu Chen looked at the system's prompt.

Further increase in favorability.

He was making plans in his mind.

His actions just now should have made Little Fairy Doctor feel some goodwill towards him.

But to complete the task, we may still be a little short.

We need to add something else.

Lu Chen snapped out of his thoughts and took out a scroll from his system inventory.

Ten Thousand Poison Palm.

The poison-attribute combat skill that the system just rewarded.

He glanced at it.

Intermediate Xuan Rank.

Poison-attribute combat skills are perfectly suited to Little Fairy Doctor's constitution.

"Here, take this."

Lu Chen handed the scroll to Little Fairy Doctor.

Little Fairy Doctor took the scroll and looked down at it.

Ten Thousand Poison Palm.

Poison-attribute combat skills.

She froze for a moment.

Poison-attribute combat skills are extremely rare.

Occasionally, these items circulate in the market, but they are all sold at exorbitant prices.

Moreover, there is no market for it despite its high price.

"What... what is this?"

Little Fairy Doctor's voice was trembling.

"Poison-attribute combat skills".

Lu Chen said.

"It suits you."

Little Fairy Doctor raised her head and looked at Lu Chen.

A look of shock flashed in his eyes.

There was also a hint of emotion that was hard to describe.

"How... how did you know I'm suited for poison-based combat techniques?"

Little Fairy Doctor asked.

Her physique is special, making her naturally suited to cultivating poison-attribute techniques.

She never told anyone about this.

How did Lu Chen find out?

"Just a guess."

Lu Chen said calmly.

Little Fairy Doctor looked at him, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside her.

Little Fairy Doctor gripped the scroll tightly in her hand.

"Lu Chen, thank you."

Lu Chen looked at her without saying a word.

Just then, a system notification popped up.

[Task completed. Little Fairy Doctor's favorability has increased further.] [Received a random reward: a recipe for a top-tier Rank 6 elixir, the Xuanzong Pill.] The reward has been sent to your system inventory.

Lu Chen's eyes lit up as he looked at the system's notification.

Xuanzong Dan.

A top-grade sixth-rank pill.

It can help a Douhuang powerhouse gain the strength of a Douzong in a short period of time.

The effect lasts for about an hour.

This prescription is of immeasurable value.

If it were put up for auction, the entire Gama Empire would probably go crazy for it.

Lu Chen snapped out of his thoughts and carefully put away the prescription.

"Let's go."

Lu Chen spoke up.

Little Fairy Doctor raised her head and looked at him.

"Where to?"

"Let's get out of here first."

Lu Chen said.

Little Fairy Doctor nodded and followed behind Lu Chen.

The two left the street.

As they walked, Little Fairy Doctor would glance at Lu Chen from time to time.

She had many questions in her mind.

Who exactly is this snake-man?

How strong is he?

Little Fairy Doctor was also filled with curiosity.

She gripped the scroll tightly in her hand.

He muttered to himself.
