1026 Mixed

“That’s not right. Klein doesn’t look like it. According to Klein, we were affected by a particular poisonous gas after entering the cave, and part of our memories was forgotten. He knew in advance that we had lost part of our memories, so it was easy to fool us. There’s no need…”

Zhong Zhi turned to look at the man and interrupted, “So, how do you know he’s not lying about his memory loss?”

The crowd fell silent again.

Wei Tao made a prompt decision. “Let’s go. Don’t waste time here. We’ll find Brian and ask him about the situation.”

“Yes, for safety’s sake, be prepared to fall out with each other this time.”

As they were discussing, a game prompt appeared on their retina.

[ Prompt: Your party member has completed the side mission. Your party has received an additional 2 hours of trial time. ]

What?

The team members looked at each other.

Teammates? A side mission?

What was going on?

After being stunned for a moment, Mikhael was the first to react. He asked tentatively, “Fang Heng?”

That was right!

It was Fang Heng!

Who else could it be other than him?

It was so late at night. Why did he not hurry over to meet up with them? Instead, he ran off to do a side mission.

Everyone looked at each other, feeling a little annoyed.

Wei Tao took a deep breath and said, “All right. Let’s ignore Fang Heng for now. I believe he knows what he’s doing. Let’s continue with the main storyline.”

“Yes.”

…

After hearing Fang Heng’s words in the small village outside the forest, Ma Xiaowan was stunned. “What do you want?”

“Kerosene. Or some other oil.”

Fang Heng explained, “It’s the middle of the night. The merchants in the village have closed their doors. It’s not appropriate to rob them by force. So, I came to you for help. You seem to have some connections with them.”

“Uh, yes…”

Ma Xiaowan felt bitter.

What bad luck!

Why was she being pestered by the two necromancy mages?

Originally, Ma Xiaowan was prepared to lead the mercenary group back to Hani City after returning to the village.

Unfortunately, the mercenary group had been tired for most of the night, and their morale was low. They could not continue to travel through the night.

In addition to the persuasion of the accompanying team, Ma Xiaowan could only let the mercenary group rest in the village for the time being and set off again at noon the next day.

The mercenary group had just settled in their accommodation. Then, she saw Fang Heng and the other man.

“Do you need a lot of it? We still have some kerosene left in our supplies.”

“I’m afraid it’s not enough. We need a lot. The more, the better.”

Ma Xiaowan was helpless.

Why did he suddenly need so much kerosene in the middle of the night?

Wait a minute, why did they want those things?

The Deputy Commander of the mercenary group, Ku Nuo, suddenly thought of something. His expression changed, and he asked tentatively, “You two want so much kerosene. Don’t tell me you want to burn the pupae on the lake?”

Fang Heng nodded and said matter-of-factly, “Yes, you’re right.”

“What?”

Ma Xiaowan was once again shocked by the necromancy mages’ shocking train of thought.

Crazy!

A bunch of lunatics!

Previously, the dragon mosquitoes had chased the two of them across half the forest just by picking up a few pupae.

And now, he wanted to burn all the pupae on the lake?

Who knew what these berserk dragon mosquitos would do?

The dragon mosquitoes would not let him go.

Ma Xiaowan felt a chill run down her back, and two words appeared in her heart.

Bad luck!

This would not do. The village would be in danger if this continued.

They could not stay in the village for long either. Once the sun rose, the mercenary group must quickly leave.

It was too dangerous!

Well, the further away from these two necromancy mages, the better.

Ma Xiaowan’s expression changed several times in a short time. She was already thinking about how to escape as soon as possible.

“I hope to get the assistance of your mercenary group,” Fang Heng cupped his hands and said in a friendly manner.

Ma Xiaowan and her assistant, Ku Nuo, looked at each other.

What else could they do?

The origins of these two necromancy mages were too mysterious, and they were terrifyingly powerful!

They could not afford to offend them!

“We’re in contact with the merchants. We can help you get the kerosene as soon as possible, but I still don’t recommend you burn the pupae on the lake. It’s too dangerous.”

“Thank you for your help. Please send the kerosene to the village entrance as soon as possible. I’ve already marked the receiving location on the map.”

Hearing Ma Xiaowan’s agreement, Fang Heng immediately ignored her advice and handed her the map with the marked assembly point.

“Also, do you have any extra leaves from the dragon-spine fir tree used to repel the dragon mosquitos? We also want to buy some. The more, the better.” Fang Heng nodded. “As for the reward, I don’t want the commission reward for clearing the dragon mosquitos. I’ll leave it all to your mercenary group to decide.”

…

“It’s just in front.”

Two hours later, under the protection of the mercenary group, the workers hired by the merchant pushed carts into the forest and arrived at the location marked on the map.

The workers were extremely surprised by the newly built temporary camp in the forest.

The forest was filled with danger. Who would have the guts to set up a camp here?

When did this happen?

What made the merchants and workers feel even more strange was that all kinds of wood materials were piled up near the camp, and even furnaces were burning.

It was extraordinary.

The campsite seemed to have appeared out of thin air.

Which merchant had sent over so many resources?

Everyone looked at each other and was suspicious when a young man walked out of the cabin.

His face was cold and arrogant. “Have you brought the things? I hate the noise, so please be gentle when you place it. Thank you.”

Hearing this, the workers shut up and began to unload the goods on the spot.

Qiu Yaokang turned around and returned to the wooden house. He closed the door and walked to the experimental table. He carefully poured a purple powder from the beaker and placed it in front of Fang Heng.

“I’ve tested the leaves of the dragon-spine fir tree. After burning, it produces a mixed gas. This gas can cause a temporary coma to the dragon mosquitos.”

“Is it just a temporary coma?”

Fang Heng was a bit disappointed.

The mercenary group had once used the smoke produced by the dragon-spine fir tree’s burning leaves to block the dragon mosquitoes’ attack.

He initially thought that it was something like a pesticide.

“I’ve roughly analyzed it and briefly concluded that I’ve found a mixture of Icaridin and a unique plant component in the leaf. I’ve extracted it.”

Qiu Yaokang held the analysis materials in his hand. “Also, the method you proposed to use high temperatures to deal with the dragon mosquito pupae is feasible. The pupae are afraid of fire and have good flammable properties. Setting fire is a shortcut to solving the problem.”

Fang Heng’s eyes lit up. “So the mixed burning plan I mentioned before feasible?”

“Of course, it’s nothing more than mixing the extracted mixture with kerosene. After burning it, it will emit a stimulating smoke that will cause the dragon mosquitoes to be unconscious.” Qiu Yaokang’s face was calm. “It’s not difficult to do this. You only need to try a little bit of introductory chemistry.”
