C49 Pharmaceutical Furnace

Wen Que stood at the door for a while, but suddenly remembered that Chu Chi wanted to look for someone. He went up to the attic and knocked on the door.

Inside the house, the bedding was folded neatly. Chu Chi had gone somewhere else.

Under the crow's lead, Chu Chi quickly arrived at the other side of the river and found the Barefooted Huang's house. His house was in a forest, and the trees here were all around the same size.

There were no other houses nearby. There was only a simple wooden house under a big tree.

The sky had just begun to brighten, and under the cover of the big trees, the place looked eerie and eerie.

Chu Chi knew in his heart that the Barefooted Huang was most likely a Monster Keeping Master, so he decided to take care of the lair and let Crow go scout first.

The crow flew to Barefooted Huang's window and crawled into the house. After a while, it flew back.

There was no one in the room.

Chu Chi ran towards the door quickly. Seeing that the door was still open, there was a small crack in it. He pushed the door open and entered, immediately trembling in fear.

A pile of corpses lay scattered on the ground. Some of them had their heads decapitated while others had their hands and feet broken. The scene was extremely tragic and shocking.

In the center of the main hall, there was a chair. There was a person sitting on it, wearing a straw hat. The room was dark, and he had deliberately concealed his face, making it impossible to see that person's appearance.

"This crow has gotten muddled again, I don't even know if there are people around!" Chu Chi could not help but curse silently, but upon seeing him, there was nothing he could do, it was already too late to run, it would be better to face him head on, so that he would not have to underestimate him.

He simply pushed the door open and walked in gracefully.

"Barefooted Huang." Chu Chi shouted at the man wearing the straw hat, "You were too careless. After getting your lair discovered so quickly, you are still a long way from becoming a real Monster Keeping Master. However, you won't have the chance to continue growing up …"

After saying all that, Chu Chi secretly cursed himself in his heart. To say so much crap, it was against his original intention to act cool.

The person that was sitting didn't answer, he just sat there.

Chu Chi was extremely embarrassed by the solo performance. He mustered his courage and walked forward a few steps, and accidentally stepped on an arm.

The arm he stepped on was actually flattened. That was not the feeling of a corpse.

He lowered his head to look around and discovered that there were no corpses in the room. They were all paper puppets, and because of the lack of light, he treated them as corpses.

After understanding all of this, Chu Chi walked forward two steps and lifted up the straw hat that the person sitting in the main hall had on. As expected, under the straw hat, was also a piece of paper that was pricked into a person.

"Phew …" Chu Chi took a deep breath, raised his head and saw the three pillars of incense, reached out, pulled them out from the censer, and stomped them on the ground.

After a while, the shape of the doll began to change. The layer of reality enveloping its surface gradually dissipated.

Chu Chi knew that the incense had Hallucination Medicines in them, which was why these paper golems looked like real people. However, looking at the situation of the rooms, it seemed that someone had beaten them to the punch and destroyed the arrangements inside, if not, it would not be so easy to destroy the illusions.

After the incense was extinguished, the fragrance in the room faded and a strange medicinal smell began to show itself.

Chu Chi twitched his nose, searching for the source of the medicine smell. That smell seemed to come from underground. The floor was made up and he moved about the room, listening to his footsteps, until he realized that one place was making a different sound than the others.

He threw away the paper doll on the floor. A hole appeared under the paper doll, and at the entrance of the hole, the smell of medicine became even stronger.

Chu Chi moved his head closer to the bowl-sized hole and looked down.

As soon as he got close, a black shadow pounced on his face.

Chu Chi rolled on the ground to dodge it, and when he crawled back up, he held the bronze blade in his hand.

When the black figure landed, Chu Chi saw the other party clearly. He sighed and put away the bronze blade, "You have a good nose! "You almost scared me to the point of peeing …"

The one who had just come out of the burrow was the white cat that ran into it in the forest.

The white cat cried out twice before it fell to the ground, its entire body trembling uncontrollably.

"Are you hurt?" Chu Chi immediately ran over, only to see that one arrow had pierced right through the front leg of the white cat, and the arrow had appeared from the other side.

"You're too weak, you can't even dodge arrows, how can you follow me?" Chu Chi muttered and teased the white cat, but he was very worried in his heart. Although it had gone through a rough process, the white cat was no longer a normal cat.

Furthermore, even if the arrow were to hit him, it would only injure his forelegs instead of killing him. He would not be in such a sorry state.

He carefully carried the white cat and found a bit of rotten cloth in the house to find a spot to light up and then pulled out the arrow.

The white cat remained motionless.

Chu Chi threw the arrow to the side and wrapped the white cat's wound with a piece of rotten cloth.

The white cat finally managed to catch his breath, twisted its body and woke up. It stared at Chu Chi for a while with its confused eyes, and then whined as if it had suffered a huge grievance.

"Don't f * * king act cute." Seeing that the white cat was alright, Chu Chi heaved a sigh of relief, before returning his attention to the arrow.

This arrow was made from bamboo and had not been added with any other material. However, he did not know what had soaked it, but the body of the arrow was pitch-black.

On the three edges of the arrowhead, there were three rows of words the size of grains.

"Whoa, this old man even knows the Wormwood Language." Chu Chi recognized the words on it.

When Chu Chi understood the meaning of the words on the bamboo arrow, he understood that the bamboo arrow had an effect of destroying the three souls and seven souls. It was the same principle with feeding the poison, but it was more insidious than feeding it.

This made Chu Chi even more convinced that the Barefooted Huang was not an ordinary person.

The white cat whimpered a few times before struggling free from Chu Chi's embrace. It limped and returned to the small hole on the floor, looked at Chu Chi, and went back inside.

Chu Chi followed along and opened up the floor. There was a bamboo ladder below him, he climbed up and walked down into a tunnel.

The tunnel was extremely cold and filled with a strong smell of medicine. At the end of the tunnel, there was a flickering flame.

The white cat walked towards the flame, and Chu Chi followed. From the looks of it, the owner had installed hidden arrow traps on both sides of the tunnel. From the looks of it, the white cat had only been hit by one arrow, it was truly good luck.

The source of the light was a small earthen room. Inside, there was a three-legged metal furnace. The surface of the furnace had been heavily oxidized and was mottled with an ancient color. It was unknown what kind of medicine was boiling in the furnace. It was as viscous as pitch.

Below, a pile of wood was burning.

These pieces of wood were not ordinary wood. When they burned, they would occasionally emit lightning.

Chu Chi recognized that it was Thunderbolt Tree.

The so called Thunderbolt Trees were not specific types of trees. They referred to the wood that had been struck by the lightning in the sky, but they were not something that was particularly rare.

However, judging from the patterns of the wood, it was likely that they were not the same tree, but at least seven or eight varieties of trees. In order to collect so many Thunderbolt Trees, it would still take a lot of effort.

Using the Thunder Wood to make the medicine, Chu Chi knew that the medicine was not simple. He thought to himself, what pill is Barefooted Huang refining?

The white cat was circling around the metal furnace, wailing from time to time. Its eyes were shining with excitement, as if it was very interested in the concoction inside the furnace.

It suddenly jumped up and landed in the boiling cauldron.
