Reincarnated as a bamboo rat, it begins its extreme survival struggle.

【Cleansing Foam】

Type: Pharmacy

Description: After breaking the bottle

The medicine reacts with the air to produce a lot of foam, and applying the foam to the body can effectively resist energy erosion.

The various kinds of potions attracted Bell's attention and aroused his curiosity.

A thought arose in his mind: could he use the [Fire-Loving Wisdom] as a channel to deduce the potion's formula?

Even further, Bell himself could improve these potions; the more Bell thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

"Find an opportunity to use Ning's identity to purchase a large quantity of special potions. I remember the workbench can also craft the crucible series of items."

He rubbed his big face and glanced longingly at the apothecary behind him.

Sabir had already taken Edu to the next shop. The shops on the second and third floors of the high-end market each had their own unique features, and many things aroused Bell's interest. Bell even saw quite a few professions with specialized development directions.

For example, in a corner on the third floor of the upscale market, there is a shop that specializes in tattoos.

The people getting tattoos here aren't just young punks; they're real, hardcore professionals.

The owner of this shop can use his concocted mixture of monster blood as a raw material to give tattoos special magical effects.

The owner himself has a dense array of tattoos all over his body, more than a dozen in total, from head to toe, each with a different magical effect.

However, Sabel told Edu that he should never get a magic tattoo unless he was desperate.

Because the body is marked with traces of external magic, it will affect subsequent growth and development. Moreover, the magic erosion of the tattoo will also affect the lifespan of the person who was tattooed, causing a certain degree of shortened lifespan.

Those who come here to get tattoos despite having a lot of negative effects are basically high-level adventurers who can't see any potential for further improvement but still want to enhance their combat power.

Among low-level adventurers, few are willing to sacrifice their lifespan to increase their combat power, but among high-level adventurers, such people are not uncommon.

Like people accustomed to extreme sports, they can feel the power of life in the face of life and death. Like bodybuilders who use drugs to maintain muscle mass and definition, they are a group of people who can't stop.

Most low-level adventurers are driven by poverty, but most high-level adventurers live for adventure; calling them crazy is not an exaggeration.

Besides these normally operating shops, there are also some shops that engage in illegitimate business practices.

On the third floor, there is a shop that specializes in rigging deals between criminals and criminals. No matter where the goods are obtained, they can be sold here. However, the shop that does this will only offer half of the normal market price of these items as the purchase price.

After all, it's a place for selling stolen goods, so the people who come to sell stolen goods have no choice.

Bell was interested in this shop because the four Shadow Thieves he had killed were still using their daggers in their underground base. These were magical artifacts, and Bell planned to take them over and sell them sometime.

Similarly, next to the shop selling stolen goods was another shady shop.

This shady shop's main business is running away with the money, so it's a perfect match with a shop that sells stolen goods.

If someone has offended a powerful force in one place, this shady shop can provide a change of identity and escape service, allowing the customer to flee to another city, obtain a decent identity, and live a relatively respectable life.

However, if you want to buy this service, you're bound to be ripped off for a huge sum of money. This shop is clearly operating on a "no business for three years, then live off the profits for three years" basis.

It's been a while since I've been here. Thank you everyone, thank you for subscribing, thank you for the monthly tickets, and thank you for the donations.

May you have boundless blessings, Amitabha Buddha, Amen, bang bang bang...

Chapter 154 Elite Squad in the Bamboo Forest

Sabir led Edu on a tour of the upscale market, and with guidance, Edu and Bel quickly learned about many shops and special items that only seasoned travelers would know.

As evening fell, Edu and Sabir parted ways at the entrance of the upscale market. Sabir had originally planned to take Edu to find the buffalo chef for a delicious meal.

However, since the agricultural fair was closing today and a banquet was being held, I decided not to trouble Brother Buffalo, who had been busy all day.

"After browsing through the upscale market, I have so many things I want to buy."

Recalling the various resources he had seen today, Bell's hamster obsession resurfaced.

He asked Edu about his schedule and found that the kid would be attending classes for the next few days and wouldn't have a holiday until three days later.

Therefore, Bell's shopping plan was set for three days later, when the gunman named 'Ning' would return from the bamboo forest, giving the Cangxing City high-end market a little nouveau riche shock.

"While Edu was teaching for three days, I was also in the bamboo forest dealing with the problem of the increasingly spreading death energy."

After a brief greeting to Edu, Bell disappeared from Cangxing City and sped off in a minecart to the base underground in the Bamboo Sea.

As Bell was about to arrive at the Bamboo Sea, the city guards and church priests who had departed from Cangxing City that afternoon had already arrived at the planned camp.

The city guards and church priests were the main force of this operation. Before they set off, adventurers had received missions to transport supplies and build camps. By the time they arrived, the camps on the outskirts of the bamboo forest had basically been built up.

"All personnel, listen to my command! Improve the camp and begin preparations!"

As soon as the armored general in the city guard gave the order, the city guards present quickly joined the ranks of building the camp.

They continuously repaired and reinforced the camps built by those adventurers. The construction of battlefield fortifications was also part of the daily training of these city guards, and this kind of work was second nature to them.

While the city guards were on duty, the church pastors were not idle either.

A group of three hundred priests patrolled the camp, chanting scriptures and writing down numerous prayers, thus imbuing the entire camp with a sacred aura.

This aura enhancement isn't a combat power boost, but rather it disperses the deathly aura around the camp, causing magical beasts to avoid it and reducing the invisible pressure within the camp.

The city guards and church priests who came here to carry out the mission were no pushovers; they were preparing for the subsequent battle against the City of Bones.

"Everyone, our mission is not to follow the main force. We are stronger and should play the role of the spearhead in this mission."

Within the camp, a small group of people who were not involved in the camp's development were exchanging ideas, centered around Amat.

This is the elite squad recruited by Amat, represented by Julianne, all of whom are highly skilled in combat in their respective professions.

Amat explained that as an elite squad, they would arrive in the City of Bones before the main force of the city guards and church priests advanced, to clear out high-level monsters and obtain map information.

This was an extremely dangerous mission, but only the elite squad could advance ahead, while those behind...

Only then can the city guards and church priests complete their advance mission more safely and smoothly, reduce the losses of the main force, and ensure mission efficiency.

"I know that the mission we are about to undertake will be even more dangerous. I believe that everyone has already prepared themselves mentally before coming here. The city guards will be responsible for reimbursing the cost of the exorcism items needed for this mission. Those of us who have entered the City of Bones ahead of time to explore will also be given the first batch of treasures to be distributed. I ask everyone to give it your all."

Amat was communicating with the group of adventurers, letting them share their fighting styles and techniques so they could coordinate better in battle.

The advanced adventurers here are also very adept at dealing with this situation, and they communicate quickly. They know the importance of cooperation, and that hiding in dangerous territory would be irresponsible to the entire team.

Besides the crucial ability to counterattack, the adventurers here all share their fighting styles and techniques.

Soon, this elite squad, which served as the spearhead, had established a fairly good communication network, with only one exception.

"Sister, don't you have anything to say?"

"No need, my abilities are not sufficient to cooperate with you in any way."

The nun from the church did not join the church's ranks, but instead joined Amat's elite squad.

For Amat, this was actually an unexpected situation, since the nun was not on his invitation list. She had joined the elite team voluntarily after learning about the team's role.

However, this behavior of joining the team without revealing any of his abilities clearly displeased the other adventurers in the team.

"Then don't let us down when the time comes."

One of the adventurers in the group made a sarcastic remark, but the nun didn't say much, only giving a slight ladylike curtsy to express her apology.

To everyone present, the nun was undoubtedly a mysterious and difficult person to deal with. They wouldn't want to embarrass themselves by talking to her, so they could only turn their attention to Amat, the guy who had the position of captain.

Amat was also troubled by this unexpected situation. He didn't want such an unnecessary and low-level conflict to arise within his team before the battle even began.

Even though in his eyes these adventurers were people he could discard after they had served their purpose.

Amat is very clear about what he does. Before they have entered the depths of the City of Bones and obtained the Fountain of Youth that his father wanted, the adventurers in his party are his brothers in arms, and he is absolutely willing to protect them with his life.

But once they reach the depths of the City of Bones and stand before the Fountain of Youth, Amat will unleash his full power at lightning speed and kill everyone present, giving them no chance to learn anything about the Fountain of Youth.

"Alright, everyone, let's rest for a bit. The church has its rules, so let's be understanding of each other. I'm sure the nun won't cause us any trouble."

Amat, still acting like a nice guy, quickly adjusted the atmosphere within the team. He shifted everyone's displeasure onto the church behind the nun, slightly easing their animosity towards her.

After discussing these matters, the adventurers of the elite squad began packing their belongings to prepare for the upcoming battle.

The nun, who was shrouded in mystery to everyone, quietly left the camp and entered the depths of the bamboo forest.

Amat had originally intended to follow the nun, chat with her, and see what she wanted to do.

But the nun who entered the bamboo forest only swayed a few times before disappearing from Amat's perception.

Chapter 155 The Nun's Exploration

As a vampire, Amat's senses are quite strong, especially her ability to sense living flesh and blood.

Even without being at her peak, Amat could easily lock onto the presence of flesh and blood within fifty meters of her, but after the nun entered the bamboo forest, Amat lost all sense of her.

He could still see the nun's back, but he sensed that she had indeed disappeared.

"That's an interesting tactic."

The elite squad is full of hidden talents, and Amat will not underestimate any of them, especially the nun who came from a church unknown to outsiders.

Even though he knew that the nun, like himself, had come to the bamboo forest with other missions, Amat did not intend to investigate further.

His energy was limited. There were too many people in the bamboo forest with various purposes, preparing to venture deep into the City of Bones. Besides the city guards and elite teams from the church, there were also other free high-level adventurers from Cangxing City.

Not to mention the skilled warriors who set out from other cities for the uncharted and perilous land of the City of Bones.

Before coming to the Bamboo Sea, Amat had been dealing with disputes caused by outsiders in Cangxing City. Many times when he encountered troublemakers, he had to consider the powerful enemies behind them and could not give a heavy sentence.
