The Alchemist God

Chapter 7 – The Ultimate Escape

Translated by: Khh

“Heh heh. It’s a shame that we’re using you as bait.”

Bearing a trace of lust on his face Cathaya city’s master Hua Wan turned around and asked smilingly: “Eagle Eye commander, this little beauty…..is it possible for me to have her before the bait……”

Eagle Eye was cleaning his battle-axe could not help but to sneer. Cursing this city’s master who was a womanizer. But he still maintained a respectful tone and said: “We are deep in the Seven Star Forest and a thousand year level spirit beast could appear anytime. Master should think about it and avoid getting into trouble.”

Hua wan was displeased: “Eagle Eye, my dad paid you 3000 Yin coins. Don’t tell me about the worth of a mere ordinary woman!”

Eagle Eye was very impatient and said: “Continue to departure! We need to arrive at Blue Dragon mountain range before dawn!”

……

“What does they want you to do?” Chu Yao was confused.

Lin Mu Yu shook his head: “Nothing.”

He knew he had to keep calm, otherwise Chu Yao’s state would be ruined.

……

Seven Star Forest’s night was unspeakable cold. Along the way, Eagle Eye and the other mercenaries cooperated to kill a 400 years old spirit beast. It was a Wolf King level of the gray wolfs. Indeed, it has already began to refine qi and could be considered as a boss in this forest. Yet it was splitted into four meat pieces, roasted entirely. There was not even a trace of bloodstain left. The four parts were hanged at the rear of the mercenary’s horse.

As before Hua Wan seemed to have evil intention. He could not give Chu Yao. However Lin Mu Yu guarded at the side not letting him his way.

At the time the east was blanched in white, a winding mountain ridge appeared ahead of the group. It was the legendary Blue Dragon mountain range.

“Boss, at last we’ve arrived.” one mercenary said.

Eagle Eye unload his battle-axe from his shoulder. With eyes filling with fighting spirits he spoke: “4 days ago, a hunting family at the Blue Dragon mountain range found a Bloodthirsty Tiger with four golden line patterns. As everyone here know, each golden line represents 1000 year of ages. This remnant Bloodthirsty Tiger is at least 4000 years old and has already condensed a spirit stone. And the moment the beast is killed its spirit can be obtained. That is also what our master want.

Hua Wan also pulled out a double-edged sword from the horseback. “Keng” The double-edged sword was unsheath. It shined chilly. A truly good saber. laughing faintly he stated: “Commander Eagle Eye, how do you plan to kill this 4000 years old Bloodthirsty Tiger remnant?”

Eagle Eye seid: “Each spirit beast has its own domain. It has unlikely moved far away. This place should already be its territory. The Bloodthirsty Tiger is sensitive to blood scent. Within 10 Li it can smell a person’s blood scent among the wind. Therefore we need a bleeding bait. Naturally, the Bloodthirsty Tiger will be attracted to come.”

Hua Wan could not help but to laugh heartily and spoke: “Tie this fellow up. Xiao Ye come and let him bled!”

“No need.”

Eagle Eye said indifferently: “I’ll do just as good..”

……

Soon, Lin Mu Yu and Chu Yao were both tied up at a huge tree. When Eagle Eye walked forward with the battle-axe, Chu Yao completely filled with fear cursed: “Eagle Eye, you beast. We did not injustice you to have enmity. Why do you want to harm us!?”

Lin Mu Yu wearing a chilly expression in his eyes said: “Eagle Eye, if I survive this, you surely will die!”

“Really?”

Eagle Eye laughed mockingly: “This girl named Yu Chao have surely strength, but you? Boy, you are a useless person without strength. You don’t even have the strength of the human realm’s first stage. You kind of trash should forget about it and just die.”

Lin Mu Yu was silent.

Eagle Eye raised abruptly his battle-axe. “ka” a sound on Lin Yu Mu’s shoulder came out with blood. Blood flew out. Chu Yao was instantly really frightened. Looking at the wound on Lin Mu Yu, she cried and began to speak: “Yu-e, blame senior jie. If I haven’t taught you how to refine medicine, you would have unlikely meet this great catastrophe. Yu-e, blame senior jie……”

Lin Mu Yu bearing the sharp pain turned around and faintly smiled: “Chu Yao jie, what are you speaking about……I don’t regret it, so nevermind……nevermind……”

Although he said to never mind, his heart was beating fast. Will that Bloodthirsty Tiger smell my blood scent and come here? If the Bloodthirsty Tiger, a 4000 years old spirit beast, really came, I myself will not have enough strength. How should we escape then?

Looking up to Eagle Eye’s back he hated unspeakably this evil. These mercenaries are some bastards, regarding human life as worthless. A chilliness raised from the bottom of Lin Mu Yu’s heart. This world was rather too ruthless.

At this time, Hua wan came over. With a cold look he glanced at Lin Mu Yu and spoke: “It does not matter if you made these Stone Skin medicine by yourself or not. However……today, you will die here. Cathaya city’s number one Alchemist will always be me and not you!”

Originally, Hua Wan’s intention was to kill me to preserve his position as Cathaya city’s number one Alchemist?

Then Hua Wan walked to Chu Yao. Holding Chu Yao’s chin he smiled devilish: “Little beauty, I can truly not let you die. So let the little gentleman enjoy you.”

Then he bowed down to kiss Chu Yao. But Chu Yao tried her best to struggle free of him. However Hua Wan’s palm appeared to be like an eagle claw holding her firm. Unable to struggle free, Hua Wan’s strength almost surpassed Chu Yao many times. Apparently there was a Legend that the city’s master Hua Wan was not only an Alchemist, he was also a level 29 Battle Spirit. It’s a pity that the Legend was no fake.

As Hua Wan was about to succeed, Eagle Eye suddenly sneered from afar: “Young master, stop enjoying this kind of thing. If the Bloodthirsty Tiger is nearby, I’m afraid that before you could put on your clothes, you would be already dead. I and my brothers need to lay traps and and arrange the machine. I ask you to leave immediately.”

Hua Wan turned bitterly around, his face unwilling, grinded his teeth and looked at Chu Yao: “Little beauty, you must survive as long as possible. The little gentleman must show you the tricks on the bed!”

While crying Chu Yao spit saliva from her mouth: “Bastard, you scum!”

Hua Wan did not agree and turned laughingly around to leave.

……

At the distance, Eagle Eye was commanding the mercenary to arrange the ambush. Two ballista hidden in the Bushes were pointing at Lin Mu Yu and Chu Yao. In order to kill this remnant Bloodthirsty Tiger, they simply went mad. If the ballista shot, Lin Mu Yu and Chu Yao would mostly die together. In addition another group of mercenaries were holding bow and arrow ready to ambush inside the bushes, waiting for the order at any time.

Eagle Eye’s conduct was Flaming Eagle mercenary as the strongest group. Holding the battle-axe in his hand Eagle Eye sat aside branches of a tree. He watched coldly the surrounding. Finishing the preparation he began to speak: “Everyone be ready for the ambush when the Bloodthirsty Tiger appears. Not even one is allowed to give a fart. The one daring to act rashly will be behead by my own axe!”

Cold wind blew, only Lin Mu Yu and Chu Yao remained helplessly tied up at the huge tree.

“Yu-er, your wound……” Looking at Yu’s wound Chu yao asked.

Lin Mu Yu pretended to look relaxed, smiled and said: “I’m okay. Chu Yao jie does not need to be anxious. My bleeding wound has started to condense clot. I’m fine.”

Actually, the Blood was still flowing, so much that he had a dizziness feeling. Eagle Eye was a mercenary who is specialized in killing. Naturally he knew the places which would let to bleeding incessantly. In a flash Lin Mu Yu’s arm was already dyed red with blood.

……

More than an hour later, the Bloodthirsty Tiger still did not appear.

“Chu Yao jie?”

Lin Mu Yu shook the rope and spoke: “Chu Yao jie, do not sleep. Listen to me and do not give up.”

Chu Yao almost cried out tears: “En, senior jie will listen, Yu-er just speak.”

Lin Mu Yu said: “In a moment when the Bloodthirsty come, you must not panic. Listen to my command. When I say down, you will immediately lower your upper body down and then jump up with me at the same time. This is our only chance. You got it?”

Chu Yao was stunned: “This……this kind of action is useful?”

“Will you listen to me?”

“En……” Chu Yao nodded slightly.

“Then do as I said.”

“Okay……”

Lin Mu Yu did not explain why they must do this. In fact there was no way to explain it, because Bloodthirsty Tiger was a species that Lin Mu Yu knew. <> this game’s level 100 BOSS – the forest’s overlord the fierce tiger. That year many players lost their lives because of him. Hanging countless time to kill the Bloodthirsty Tiger. Since in this world Silver Line Grass, steel-tipped flower and other herbs appeared to the same like in the game, maybe the monster would also be the same?

The Bloodthirsty Tiger’s movement speed and its attack power were widely known. But it also had a characteristic movement. Bloodthirsty Tiger first attack was certainly a sweep with its sharp claw. Moreover it would sweep right at the target’s head. Therefore it had the name “Headshot King”.

If the Bloodthirsty Tiger’s first hit could be dodged, then the power of the 4000 years old spirit beast remnant could be used to divide the tree into two parts. The string was tied at the waist and was not too tight. Both people needed to jump vertically at the same time to stand over the surface of the cut off tree. This was the only method. Although it was dangerous, however Lin Mu Yu had also no other plan to get out of the danger.

……

“Hou……”

Sure enough, it did not let the people wait for long. The tiger’s roar came from afar. The entire mountain forest seemed to tremble. The tiger was the king of the jungle. And at the moment this one was a 4000 years old super spirit beast. This power could let a person more than tremble.

“It finally came……”

Lin Mu Yu said quietly: “Chu Yao jie, be ready!”

“Yeah!”

Chu Yao stopped to cry. Under the law of the jungle, she understood clearly that, you have to be strong, otherwise it was unlikely that someone would help you to get stronger.

Eagle Eye stood up abruptly. Holding his battle-axe in his hand he shouted lowly: “All men be prepared!”

……

“Hou!”

Again the sound of a tiger’s roar could be heard. A burst of burning qi wave engulfed the forest. At the distant, a fierce tiger covered with red hair appeared at the mountain ridge. On top of his head four golden line dazzled brightly under the sunlight. The beast king showed completely its imposing manner. The ruthless eyes stared at the tied up at the tree Lin Mu Yu.

Lin Mu Yu determined the speed of the Bloodthirsty Tiger and said suddenly with a low voice: “Chu Yao jie, bow down!”

“Hua!”

The two stooped momentary together. The Bloodthirsty Tiger swept through. “Kacha” a sound came out as the huge tree was broke apart at the middle. The scattered pieces of the tree flew momentary. Lin Mu Yu shouted: “Jump!”

They leaped softly. The rope was already over the cut across surface. At this moment, afar, a “Sousou” sound came over. The ballistars started to attack!

……

In spite of the pain in the arm, Lin Mu Yu pounced over Chu Yao’s body. Holding her as they rolled over the grass. Behind the body was the *pengpengpeng* sound. The almost one meter long shooted ballista arrow at the Bloodthirsty Tiger was repelled. The Bloodthirsty Tiger’s hair resembled iron needle. The defense power could not be compared to common beasts.

“Throw a net!”

Eagle Eye rushed out anxiously with his battle-axe.
