The Last Alchemist

Faced with Anne's questioning, Rosen could only smile bitterly: "You didn't give me a chance at all."

"Ah~~~" Anne pulled her hair frantically: "Okay. Tell me, what should I do?!"

"I need clean water, silver powder, hops, and Bidens pilosa. You should have all these four things, right?" Rosen asked.

Annie nodded: "Of course. Hops can cure parasitic diseases. Bidens pilosa can cure malaria. Silver can restrain many monster magics, especially effective against vampires. They are all good things necessary for outdoor travel."

As she spoke, she took out the things Rosen wanted from the package one by one.

Rosen pointed at the silver powder, Bidens pilosa, and hops, and said to Anne: "Add water, mix them together, and mash them into paste, quickly."

"Okay." Anne did as she was told. She obviously had some alchemy skills. She carried a small mortar with her and had great strength. She mashed the herbs into a black paste in two or three strokes.

Rosen walked forward, dipped a little black paste with his finger and put it in his mouth. At the same time, he calmed down, activated his alchemy talent, and began to taste it carefully.

'Hemp seeds are astringent, Bidens pilosa is bitter, and silver powder is very sharp. Add the strong tolerance of clean water as a buffer, and mix them evenly to form the so-called 'low-level exorcism medicine'. In the game, when alchemists describe the taste of this medicine, they usually use the adjective 'holy'. Hiss~ It feels like a moonlit night in clear weather, ethereal and quiet. This should be the feeling of holiness, right? '

Annie saw that Rosen had been silent all the time, and asked worriedly: "How is it, is it useful?"

Rosen nodded: "Almost. You divide this thing into two parts, one part is applied to the wound on my neck, and all the bloody places near the wound must be covered. I want to eat the rest."

Annie did it immediately. She tore off the bandage on Rosen's neck. The green crystal ointment was very effective. After a while, the wound on Rosen's neck had completely stopped bleeding, leaving only two black blood scabs.

"Tear off the blood scab and expose the fresh wound surface." Rosen said with his head tilted and teeth gritted.

"Okay." Annie did as she was told. She was very skillful and pulled off the blood scab with a 'tear'. Rosen's whole body shook uncontrollably due to the pain.

Annie immediately covered the potion. With a 'sizzle' sound, a faint green smoke came out of Rosen's neck.

"Hiss~ It hurts~~"

Rosen felt that countless sharp needles had pierced his neck. The intense tingling sensation radiated in all directions from the wound. The muscles around his neck and even his arms could not help but spasm violently. Because of the clenched teeth, the blue veins on his forehead burst out, and his face looked very hideous.

"Ah~~~" Rosen rolled an uncontrollable moan in his throat, which sounded a bit like the roar of a beast.

This look was really terrifying. Annie was a little frightened when she saw it. She subconsciously wanted to wipe off the medicine paste on Rosen's neck.

Rosen stopped him sternly: "Don't move! Just like that!"

In the game, he had used this low-level exorcism medicine on NPCs, and the reactions of those NPCs were exactly the same as his current one. Although it was painful, it also proved that the configuration of the medicine was correct.

Rosen couldn't help but sigh in his heart: 'Games are games after all, and what you see is just the appearance. Only by truly entering this world can you truly understand the darkness of the world. '

After about half a minute, the pain in his neck began to slowly subside, and after about 3 minutes, the pain finally dropped to a level that Rosen could easily endure.

He exhaled: "Give me the rest of the herbs."

After getting the medicine, Zhang Yuan gritted his teeth, raised his head, and swallowed all the medicine paste. At the end, he took the water bag and drank a big mouthful of water to wash away the bitterness in his mouth.

After waiting for about half a minute, a strong burning pain suddenly came from his stomach. The pain was extremely fierce, as if a bomb had exploded in his stomach.

"Hmph~"

Rosen groaned, holding his stomach and kneeling on the ground. His waist could not help but bend down, his head against the ground, his hands tightly grasping the weeds on the ground, his body trembling, and his forehead covered with cold sweat.

For a moment, Rosen even had the illusion that his internal organs were roasted, and he thought he would be killed by the pain.

"Rosen, how are you?" Annie squatted beside Rosen, at a loss.

"I'm fine. Wait." Rosen could no longer speak a complete sentence.

In the horrible pain, Rosen's spirit almost collapsed, and all kinds of thoughts swirled in his mind.

'Why should I endure such pain? Why should I run away? Dying from being sucked blood is not a particularly painful process. If I die, it will be over. Maybe I can go back to Earth. '

'No, I can't give up! Even if this is a virtual dream, I will stick to it to the end and never give up halfway! '

'But why should I persist? '

'To reach the peak, you must endure the pain! A great victory must be accompanied by great efforts. Hold on, hold on, only if you hold on, you will have a chance to kill the vampire Viken! ’

With such self-encouragement, Rosen persisted.

This time, the pain lasted longer than before. It took 3 minutes to slowly subside, and another 3 minutes before it did not affect Rosen's movements.

Rosen's face was as pale as paper, and his body was soaked with cold sweat. He struggled to stand up from the ground and said to Annie: "Now, stab your Lily's buttocks. Stab lightly, just enough to bleed."

"What's the use of this?" Annie was a little surprised, but Rosen's performance was really amazing. His strong tolerance for pain, his courage and adaptability were not like a pampered rich young man. Although they had only known each other for an hour, She already admired this young man very much.

Now that the other party said this, although she hesitated, she still obeyed. She took out a dagger and lightly slashed the black horse's butt, and the horse's blood immediately flowed out.

"Put a knife on my arm, scratch lightly, and sprinkle my blood on Lily's wound. A few drops of blood will be enough!"

"Huh? I seem to understand a little bit."

She did as she was told, and after finishing, she wrapped up Rosen's wound: "Is this really useful?"

"It's useful." Rosen began to explain: "The herb just now is a low-level exorcism. It cannot get rid of the blood seal magic, but it can greatly suppress the breath of the blood seal magic. Each time it is used, it can be effective for three days. And the blood seal magic has the maximum The characteristic is that it can rely on It spreads quickly through blood. Mix my blood with the horse's blood, and the blood mark magic will be transmitted to the horse. In this way, the magic aura emitted by the horse will be very strong, like a candlelight in the dark. We can temporarily avoid Viken's tracking."

Blood seal magic sounds mysterious, but its characteristics are very similar to infectious diseases on the earth, and they are the kind of infectious diseases that rely on blood to spread. Infected people do not show any symptoms, but they emit a special smell. Ordinary people cannot smell this smell, but vampires are very sensitive to this smell and can easily track it.

Anne frowned: "What if Lily is found by Viken? He will find Lily soon. Besides, Lily is a good horse."

She was a little reluctant to give up.

Rosen can understand Anne's feelings. In this world, Ma is very understanding of human nature. It is natural for Anne to be reluctant to leave, but due to the situation, she can no longer care so much.

He said quickly: "Lily is not the only bait. You see, there are forests on both sides of the road, and there are many animals. Rabbits, wolves, bears, and deer can all be used as bait. With so many baits, Lily will not necessarily die. After all, It's just a horse, and vampires aren't that hungry for food, right?"

Stalkers have difficulty dealing with monsters, but dealing with wild animals is not difficult at all.

"Yes!" Annie shouted subconsciously, and her eyes lit up. The more she thought about it, the more she thought this method was wonderful. She couldn't help but clapped her hands: "Ah, how come you are so smart, little guy? You can even think of such a stupid idea. In this way, the vampire must be exhausted. "

"Then why are you still here? Let's start taking action?" Rosen urged.

"Of course! Of course!"

Anne unloaded all the packages from the horse, carried them all on her body, and slapped the horse's butt hard. The black horse Lily felt pain and immediately started galloping along the road.

"Follow me." Annie waved to Rosen and ran into the woods beside the road first.

Rosen was still a little weak, but there was no burden on him, and Annie would wait for him from time to time, so he reluctantly followed Annie.

The two of them ran wildly in the forest.

On the way, Annie used the superior senses of a mutant hunter to capture three sika deer and a lone wolf. These wild animals were frightened. After being infected with the blood, they desperately ran away from Annie and disappeared in a few clicks.

After letting the last lone wolf go, Annie breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Should we be safe now?"

Rosen was exhausted. He was panting heavily. It took him half a minute to catch his breath. He shook his head at Annie: "Although these animals can run fast, it is late at night. After they are frightened, We will stop when we run to a place we think is safe, so we can’t run far. According to my estimation, our true safety time should only be 3 hours. After that, if we don’t continue to place baits, we may be found by vampires at any time.”

Anne immediately said: "Then let's continue!"

Rosen waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, I can't do it anymore. If I keep running, I will be exhausted. I need to rest."

"I'll carry you on my back!"

With that said, Annie came over and forcibly carried Rosen on her back.

Rosen hurriedly reached out and patted Annie on the shoulder: "No, please put me down quickly. Let me tell you, running like this is not an option. I am not in good health, and you are also seriously injured. If you keep running, you will always be exhausted. Use all your strength. The amount of bait is just a matter of dying sooner or later."

Annie heard something, turned her head and looked at Rosen on her back: "Do you have any other ideas?"

"There is a way, but you must rest first. My current body does not have the energy to do anything."
