Kill Him

15,000!

Lu Yuan clicked on the product page and immediately saw the price.

His heart sank slightly.

This was nearly twice the price of a Healing Potion.

Sure enough, it was expensive.

He looked over the description again.

For Gene Warriors at the apprentice level, an Ordinary Speed Potion could increase speed by around twenty percent. However, since each Gene Warrior focused on different aspects, the effects would vary slightly.

Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow.

His current Black Iron Body could slightly increase his speed. Compared to engraving an ordinary quality speed-type gene, the difference was not actually that great.

If it could boost his speed by twenty percent, he should be comparable to Ordinary speed-type Gene Warriors of the same level. He might even be a little stronger.

It was quite good.

However, ordinary speed-type warriors posed no threat to Lu Yuan.

Was there really any need to buy this?

After thinking for a moment, Lu Yuan opened the Superior Speed Potion listing beside it.

50,000!

Lu Yuan's mouth twitched when he saw the price.

"Those pharmacists make way too much money. One potion costs 50,000? Will drinking it make you immortal?"

He grumbled and checked its effects.

Superior Potions could increase speed by roughly fifty percent.

His eyes lit up. "That's quite a boost."

With a Superior Potion that increased speed by around fifty percent, his speed would be pretty impressive.

If he encountered danger, he should have a decent chance of escaping.

It was just that the price...

Lu Yuan hesitated for a moment before finally adding it to his cart.

One Superior Speed Potion cost 50,000, one Superior Healing Potion cost 30,000, and one Ordinary Healing Potion cost 8,000.

The three potions totaled 88,000.

Lu Yuan only had a little over 30,000 left in his pocket now.

He had to keep 10,000 to buy a map of the Sandstone Dungeon.

That left him with a little over 20,000 to spend.

After thinking it over, Lu Yuan ultimately chose Defense Potions.

Defense was his strongest aspect. If he encountered a powerful ferocious beast, strengthening his defense might keep the opponent from breaking through it. Maybe he could even win?

An Ordinary Defense Potion cost 10,000, a little less than a Speed Potion.

A Superior Potion cost 35,000, which was still very expensive.

Lu Yuan no longer had enough money for Superior Potions.

After some thought, he bought two Ordinary Defense Potions.

In the end, he spent a total of 108,000 on five potions.

"Payment received. Your order will arrive today."

Lu Yuan smiled at the message that popped up on the page.

That way, he could still make it to the Origin Land for an adventure today.

Afterward, Lu Yuan spent another 10,000 to buy a map of the Sandstone Dungeon.

Once he was prepared, Lu Yuan did not go to Da Ming Martial Hall to practice his body techniques. Instead, he stayed home and absorbed spirit crystals.

After all, this was the slums. There was no one to sign for his delivery.

What if the potions he bought failed to arrive?

He had spent almost his entire fortune on them!

By evening, the delivery arrived.

The Healing Potions were pale red, the Defense Potions were pale black, and the Speed Potion was pale cyan. They were stored in crystal bottles and looked quite presentable.

Lu Yuan carefully placed the three types of potions into his War Rune Space, where he could use them whenever he needed.

Time passed quickly.

Over the course of the day, Lu Yuan steadily and gently absorbed spirit crystals, raising his Tempering Level by another one percent.

His Tempering Level had now reached eleven percent.

At eight o'clock that night, the light gate to the Origin Land was fully repaired.

Lu Yuan touched the light gate with his consciousness. His entire body vanished from the plain room and entered the Origin Land.

Lu Yuan appeared out of thin air in the Sandstone Dungeon.

He appeared exactly where he had left the Origin Land yesterday.

Candles burned in the passageway, casting dim light.

As soon as Lu Yuan appeared, several rocks shot toward him from nearby piles of rubble.

At the same time, Black Shadows pounced at him from the darkness.

They were Little Stone Men and black scorpions.

Although Lu Yuan had cleared out the nearby ferocious beasts before leaving the Origin Land yesterday,

the Origin Land was simply that strange.

There were countless ferocious beasts, and who knew how many races from across the universe were in this place.

No matter how many they killed, they could never wipe out all the ferocious beasts here.

Lu Yuan flashed aside, dodging the rocks. A longsword appeared in his hand, and he killed the pouncing black scorpions one by one.

Then he killed all the Little Stone Men that had condensed into shape.

After gathering the spirit crystals and materials, Lu Yuan left that section of the passageway and continued deeper into the dungeon.

While Lu Yuan hunted ferocious beasts, a battle was taking place not far from his passageway.

Whoosh!!

An arrow tore through the air with a piercing shriek.

It ultimately pierced through an elven man's neck.

Blood sprayed from the elven man's neck, staining his body red.

He clutched his neck, eyes wide as he stared fixedly at the cat person woman in the distance.

Molly glanced at the elven man as he slowly fell, her expression utterly unchanged.

She drew another arrow and turned her gaze toward the others.

The Cat Person Swordsman Xi Ye was fighting two elven assault-type warriors.

Xi Ye moved like a leaf dancing in the wind, far more agile than the two elven warriors.

His savage greatsword slashes carried fierce gusts of sword wind, suppressing the two elven warriors.

The two elven warriors were forced back step by step.

Elsewhere, the cat person elemental warrior continuously condensed fireballs in his hand, suppressing an elven guardian-type warrior and an elven archer wielding a longbow.

Seeing their companion die, the four elven warriors roared in fury.

"Damn Hunters!"

Xi Ye and the other two remained expressionless. As Hunters, the anger of their prey could not stir their emotions.

"Nan Qi!"

Molly gave a low snort, nocked two arrows, and drew her bow to its limit.

The arrows flew out, shooting at the elven archer from two directions.

Archer body technique: Dual Arrow Technique.

The elemental warrior Nan Qi understood immediately. With a low shout, three fireballs condensed in succession atop his staff and shot toward the guardian-type elven warrior.

The guardian-type elven warrior's pupils constricted. His entire body tensed as he raised his shield to block.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!

The fireballs exploded against the square tower shield. The elven warrior groaned and staggered back several steps.

The elven archer behind him was exposed as well.

The two arrows passed the elven guardian warrior, turning into streaks of light as they flew toward the elven archer.

The pretty elven archer was firing at Nan Qi when she suddenly heard the sound of arrows cutting through the air.

Her pupils contracted, and she hurriedly dove to the side.

One arrow flew over her head, but the other pierced through her chest.

"Aah!!"

The elven archer let out a scream and collapsed to the ground. Blood gushed out as her life faded away.

"Bailier!"

The elven guardian warrior and the other two elven swordsmen's eyes reddened as they roared in rage.

However, with two elven warriors dead in succession, the remaining three elven warriors could not hold out for long against the coordinated cat person Hunters.

In a short time, one elven swordsman had his chest pierced by Molly's arrow, another had his throat slit by Xi Ye's longsword, and the last guardian-type elven warrior was killed when Nan Qi's fireballs shattered his internal organs.

Xi Ye and the others let out a breath and looked at the spoils that had dropped onto the ground.

Nan Qi smiled.

"There's even Gene Armament? Two sets of leather armor—not bad. This team must have found something worthwhile."

Xi Ye silently picked up everything and said with a faint smile,

"Didn't it all end up benefiting us?"

Molly put away her longbow, took out a waterskin, and drank a mouthful. She pursed her lips.

"Our luck was pretty good this time."

"This team was only mediocre. We barely used up anything, so let's keep looking for prey."

Nan Qi waved his staff and smiled.

"Yeah. Let's go."

The three cat person Hunters gathered their spoils and set off again.

Before long, they heard the sounds of battle coming from a distant passageway.

The three exchanged glances and gave each other a look.

They had spent a long time together and could understand each other without speaking.

They softened their footsteps and moved toward the source of the battle sounds.

Soon, they reached the area where the battle was taking place.

Molly held a finger to her lips, signaling for silence, and looked beyond the corner.

When she saw the battle in the distance, her pupils constricted and killing intent flashed in her eyes.

Not far away, a human warrior was facing the combined assault of three Little Stone Men and two black scorpions.

Even while surrounded, the human warrior appeared completely at ease.

His skin had turned the color of black iron, and he wore simple armor. His defensive capabilities were astonishing.

Even the black scorpions' venomous stingers could barely pierce his skin.

His body could even withstand the Little Stone Men's punches head-on.

Molly naturally remembered this human warrior clearly.

He was the human who had stabbed her in the stomach yesterday!

The moment she saw him, she felt a faint ache in her abdomen.

She could not help clenching her fists and gritting her teeth.

Sensing Molly's abnormality, Xi Ye and Nan Qi exchanged a glance. Xi Ye gently patted Molly.

Molly came back to herself and drew back.

"What is it?"

Xi Ye asked.

A cold killing intent flashed in Molly's eyes as she said softly,

"It's that guardian-type human warrior from yesterday."

"Him?!"

Nan Qi immediately revealed a vicious grin.

"I didn't expect to run into him again!"

Xi Ye's gaze flickered as well, and he tightened his grip on his longsword.

"Is he alone?"

"Yeah, he's alone."

"Then kill him!"
