The Last Alchemist

As agreed before, the coachman John will be on guard for the first half of the night.

After Rosen finished eating the meat pie, he wrapped himself tightly in the thick bear skin, sat on the rock with Annie back to back, and closed his eyes to rest.

Of course he would not fall asleep, but just closed his eyes to rest.

After sitting for a while, he silently said in his heart: "Show the alchemy talent tree."

The dark vision suddenly brightened slightly, showing the interface of the talent tree.

Rosen took a look at the proficiency of the second-level talent electromagnetic sickle, which was exactly 40%, which was the result of his busy month in the Baron's Mansion.

'My current element perception ability is 500 points, and my element manipulation ability is 1000 points. In terms of strength alone, I have surpassed Dias, which should be stronger than a 1-star magician, but weaker than a 2-star magician. '

The star rating is the standard for intuitively displaying strength in the game, but this is only the standard in the game, which is very rough, and the situation in the real world is a thousand times more complicated.

In the real world, element manipulation ability is like the maximum reach of a basketball player. For basketball, jumping high is certainly important, but if you say that a person is good at basketball just because he jumps high, that's nonsense.

Rosen looked at the free talent points in the upper right corner of the talent tree again.

He just killed two ghouls. No, to be precise, one. For the other one, he was just an assistant. It was Annie who finally shot.

After taking a look, Rosen couldn't help but sighed: "One and a half ghouls, only 0.01 free talent points. As expected, just like in the game, the more talents are activated, the stronger the ability, and the benefits of killing low-level monsters will decrease exponentially."

The reward of 0.01 points for one ghoul is because for Rosen now, the ghoul is no longer enough to be his opponent. In the game, this ghoul has become a gray monster with extremely low value.

Not only is the benefit of killing monsters reduced, but the speed of improving talent proficiency has also slowed down a lot. When using the Friend of Elements talent, it can be improved a little in three days. Now it can be improved by 40% in a month, and the speed has slowed down by at least 20 times.

Rosen was mentally prepared for this and didn't feel disappointed. Compared with the indigenous magician, his strength improvement speed is already amazingly fast, and as long as he keeps working hard, he can keep moving forward without worrying about bottlenecks. This alone is already very abnormal.

After watching for a while, Rosen closed the alchemy talent tree vision and prepared to empty his mind and rest.

However, his brain moves quickly. He obviously wants to have a good rest, but after a while, all kinds of messy thoughts emerge in his mind involuntarily.

'Hmm~ Anne's body is really warm, and her body temperature is obviously higher than mine. It should be the result of physical mutation. '

'Tsk~ This girl has a lot of meat on her buttocks, and it is particularly elastic. Her buttocks must be very perky. It's a pity that her clothes and pants are very loose, and it's hard to see on weekdays. ’

‘The black-haired girl’s skin is surprisingly good. It is not only white, but also very delicate. There is no flaw at all. The so-called white jade should be like this. ’

‘Wait, I seem to know what is wrong. This girl and her mother look nothing like each other. This really doesn’t make sense. ’

Even if the mother and daughter are not alike, there are always one or two similarities. However, the black-haired girl and her mother have nothing in common. It’s like a tall basketball player and a short movie actor standing together on the earth. At first glance, they have no blood relationship.

However, there is a reasonable explanation for this point.

‘Perhaps, the woman is just her stepmother. The girl was stabbed by herself. If she hadn’t been lucky, she would have died long ago. Looking at her figure, she is petite and delicate. She is not a threat to me. Forget it, maybe I am overthinking. ’

‘No, it’s still not right. Anyway, something is wrong. No, this girl’s origin is unknown. The world is so chaotic. For the sake of safety, I still have to be vigilant. ’

‘.’

Just as he was thinking about all sorts of things, the voice of the coachman John suddenly rang out: “Sir, sir, the situation over there seems to be something wrong.”

The coachman’s voice trembled slightly.

Rosen immediately clenched the handle of the spiral spray gun and opened his eyes.

Annie had also opened her eyes. She turned her head and looked at the wasteland below the slope with a solemn look. Rosen picked up the telescope and followed her line of sight.

In the dim field of vision of the telescope, he saw a huge black shadow moving towards them about 300 meters away.

It was estimated that the black shadow was more than 3.5 meters tall and more than 1 meter wide. There seemed to be more than half a meter long spikes on its back. Occasionally, two blood-red pupils could be observed on its head.

‘Red light in the eyes, this is the characteristic of a powerful BOSS in the game. This must be the giant ghoul lord. ’

After the black shadow appeared, the ghouls that had been calm began to get agitated, making screams of ‘chi~chi~chi~chi~’

Anne whispered, "It is indeed the giant ghoul lord, and it has brought at least 50 more ghouls."

Rosen estimated the distance and whispered, "The maximum killing range of the Sky-Destroying Shot against ordinary people is 200 meters. The opponent is 300 meters away from us. If we shoot at a small angle, the bullet should be able to reach that big guy. That guy hasn't attacked yet, and his movement speed is not fast. We can test his strength."

"Okay." Anne nodded.

Ever since the night when the Baron's mansion used a catapult to throw the doomsday iron ball, Anne has asked Rosen for many shooting techniques and learned many terms. At least in the field of shooting, she can keep up with Rosen's thinking.

She took out the Destruction Gun, pressed the bullet into the barrel, half-crouched on the rock, aimed the muzzle at the giant ghoul lord in the distance, raised it a little, and then, she decisively pulled the trigger.

"Bang~"

The fire flashed suddenly from the muzzle of the Destruction Gun, and a bullet rushed out, spinning at high speed and flying towards the giant ghoul lord.

More than half a second later.

"Puff~~"

A cloud of dust rose from the ground about 3 meters behind the giant ghoul lord. The giant ghoul lord turned around and looked behind him, and then turned his head to look at the carriage on the rocky slope. He didn't understand what happened.

"The angle was adjusted a little more, and it was shot." Rosen said.

"Yeah."

Annie pressed the muzzle down a little, took a deep breath, and pulled the trigger again.

"Bang~"

After more than half a second, the black shadow in the distance shook violently and took a half step back.

"Hit!" Rosen waved his hand.

"Roar~~~~"

A roar of pain followed, and the giant ghoul lord in the distance roared to the sky, and then rushed towards the slope at high speed.

His running movements were smooth and coordinated, and he was not seriously injured.

The ghouls following him also charged with him. From a distance, they rushed towards Rosen like a black tide.

Annie shook her head: "The Sky-Destroying Bomb can hurt it, but it can't penetrate its defense!"

Rosen nodded, and he took out 8 bombs from the wooden box again and handed them to Annie: "Here, blow one up first to see the effect."

Annie took the iron ball, aimed at the position of the giant ghoul lord, and threw one hard.

When the iron ball was flying in the sky, the giant ghoul lord suddenly stopped, raised his head and let out a strange cry: "Ang~~~"

With this roar, the stream of ghouls that were running wildly behind it quickly dispersed and rushed out to both sides, and the distance between the two ghouls was at least 4 meters.

About half a second later, the bomb fell on the wasteland, making a "boom" sound. The momentum was as terrifying as before, but it was at least 6 meters away from the giant ghoul lord and posed no threat to it.

"It's very smart!" Rosen whispered.

"Yes." Anne's forehead was covered with cold sweat: "The ghouls are all scattered, and the bomb can't play its power. Once the ghouls rush to our position, it will be a hard battle. Do you want to?"

She looked at the long strip of object wrapped in oil paper on the ground.

They did set up a temporary position, but this was just in case.

Close combat is very dangerous and full of unexpected factors. Even if you are well prepared, you may still fail. Therefore, if you have the ability, the best way is to end the battle before the enemy rushes to the position.

Looking at the group of ghouls rushing in quickly, Rosen also felt his heartbeat slightly accelerated. He knew that he was already nervous, and the source of his nervousness was the giant ghoul lord in the distance. The shell of that guy could ignore the impact of rifled musket bullets, which broke Rosen's confidence in muskets.

He thought to himself: 'This is probably equivalent to a tank in another world, right? '

"Rosen, do you use it?" Annie asked again.

Following her voice, the black-haired girl in the carriage quietly turned her head, staring at the oil paper bag on the ground, thinking to herself: 'What kind of weapon is this that can make a mutant hunter so confident? ’

At this time, the giant ghoul lord had already rushed to within 200 meters. At his current speed, he would be able to rush to the vicinity of the carriage in less than 10 seconds. With his size and body defense, the aluminum alloy spike guardrail had basically no blocking effect on him.

Once the defense layer was breached, the subsequent ghouls would rush up together, and then they would be finished!

Rosen knew that he could not hesitate any longer, took a deep breath, and nodded: "Use!"
