Han Junxiong glanced at Wang Zhan next to him, then slowly asked, "So we don't need to continue looking for those powerful demonic beasts?"
Wang Zhan, on the other hand, laughed and said, "It's best not to be so greedy. After all, we now have the demon core of this Snow Demon, so we don't need to continue hunting for those demonic beasts. Let's first go back and see if this demon core is useful. If it is, then we'll continue looking for so big guys. Of course, if it's not, there's no need to waste more ti."
After all, from Wang Zhan's perspective, perhaps this was all just a strategy of Hu Xianfeng's.
After all, dealing with those extrely powerful demonic beasts wasn't just about getting their demon cores; the most important thing was that it could enhance his own strength. Of course, he felt fortunate that this encounter with the Snow Demon had indeed been very beneficial for him, even causing the System to undergo a degree of transformation. That was the most crucial point.
Han Junxiong, who was standing beside him, shrugged indifferently. "I just need to follow you quietly. What you want to do has nothing to do with . Of course, I'm also doing this to improve my own strength, so you don't need to consider my feelings."
"If you want to deal with those demonic beasts, I'll naturally stay by your side. But if you have no interest in them, I'm not prepared to waste my ti."
Wang Zhan paid no attention to Han Junxiong and instead headed towards Hu Xianfeng's location. Right now, the most important thing for him was to go back and resu his study of Alchemy.
Only after mastering the thod of refining elixirs could his ans be once again enhanced to a certain degree. After all, the System had now undergone a degree of transformation, and although the System's control panel had changed, Wang Zhan hadn't felt any improvent in his own strength. It seed he would need to study the System thoroughly in the days to co.
However, those auxiliary thods also required careful study.
In the blink of an eye, the two had returned to Hu Xianfeng's house. However, Hu Xianfeng was still nowhere to be seen. He must still be sound asleep in his room, they speculated.
Wang Zhan went into the house to check and finally saw Hu Xianfeng lying on the bed.
At that mont, Hu Xianfeng's complexion was extrely poor, rather pale. Even when Wang Zhan and Han Junxiong entered, he had no reaction at all.
Seeing this, Wang Zhan's expression turned grim. He quickly went to Hu Xianfeng's side, patted his shoulder, and asked anxiously, "Hu Lao, are you alright?"
As if waking from a dream, Hu Xianfeng slowly opened his eyes. After coughing heavily twice, he looked at Wang Zhan beside him, then smiled, waved his hand dismissively, and said, "I'm fine, just feeling a bit tired."
"Weren't you and that brat out hunting high-level demonic beasts? Why are you back here? Don't tell
you've already dealt with those demonic beasts in such a short ti? Rember, I told you, you must obtain the demon cores of high-level demonic beasts to help coordinate the fusion of those elixirs."
Wang Zhan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've already found the demon core of a high-level demonic beast."
"Besides, the demonic beast we took care of far surpassed the strength of a level 9 beast. So, I imagine fusing the elixirs this ti shouldn't be too difficult. That's why we hurried back to refine the elixirs."
Hu Xianfeng, at the side, nodded heavily. He was naturally aware of Wang Zhan's ans and figured he must have dealt with an extrely formidable demonic beast. It had to be said, Wang Zhan's growth rate was indeed far beyond his imagination.
Han Junxiong, standing to one side, quickly shook his head, chuckled, and said, "Don't try to give
credit. I didn't contribute much. I was just tagging along with you. Even when you were fighting the Snow Demon, I didn't interfere at all."
Hearing this, Hu Xianfeng's eyes widened. He sat bolt upright in bed, glanced at Wang Zhan beside him, and hurriedly asked, "You an you actually dealt with that Snow Demon?"
"If I rember correctly, doesn't that big guy have its own domain? Within its domain, even I couldn't easily defeat it. I never expected your strength to increase so rapidly!"
For a mont, Hu Xianfeng was utterly bewildered. He wasn't joking; if he were to face that Snow Demon amidst ice and snow, even he might not be its match.
After all, the Snow Demon's strength would continuously increase amidst the ice and snow; compared to its usual state, it would be on a completely different level.
But who would have thought Wang Zhan could actually deal with such a formidable Snow Demon?
Wang Zhan chuckled, shook his head, and explained, "Compared to you, my strength is naturally far inferior. The only reason I could deal with that fellow was because I had a certain advantage. Don't forget, all my attacks and defenses are fire-attributed, and that big guy just happens to be weak against my attributes. So, dealing with it wasn't too difficult for ."
Han Junxiong, at the side, imdiately grinned and said, "Even if there's an attribute advantage, it's because your own strength is formidable. Otherwise, even if you had an advantage against a Snow Demon, so what? After all, that thing's power is undeniable. If it were soone else, even with an attribute advantage, I'm afraid they still couldn't easily defeat this terrifying Snow Demon."
Han Junxiong wasn't joking. After all, this point was undeniable: that big guy was indeed powerful. Of course, Wang Zhan's success was also due to his own formidable strength. If it weren't for Wang Zhan's impressive power, even with an attribute advantage, he wouldn't have been able to handle that big guy. So, Wang Zhan was indeed being a little too modest.
Actually, Hu Xianfeng was also quite clear about these points. After all, he knew very well the extent of Wang Zhan's strength; Wang Zhan possessed the power to fight even a level 9 demonic beast. Although the Snow Demon's strength was formidable, if it were on different terrain, he (Hu Xianfeng) believed he could still defeat the Snow Demon. This ant that if Wang Zhan indeed had an attribute advantage that suppressed it, he would have a chance to take down that big guy.
Han Junxiong walked over to Wang Zhan's side, patted his shoulder, and said with a laugh, "Young people don't need to be overly modest. It's better to be a bit more assertive. Only then will people respect you. After all, that's the principle of survival in Kui City."
"If they found out about your glorious accomplishnts, those guys would surely flock to you imdiately, wanting to beco your followers. Of course, if you actually wanted to associate with them, well, that would be a whole different story."
"I bet those guys would pester you every day, asking you to take them out on missions together."
Wang Zhan quickly shook his head. He had absolutely no interest in those Bounty Hunters. There were still so Bounty Hunters in Kui City, but they were all cut from the sa cloth. These Bounty Hunters naturally all had their own agendas. Moreover, no matter where one went, Bounty Hunters likely shared a similar disposition. He certainly didn't want to get too involved with such people.
"Alright, you two, stop your useless chatter here," Hu Xianfeng interjected. "Right now, I need to recuperate as quickly as possible and raise my cultivation. Otherwise, it won't be long before I'm completely depleted. At that point, I suspect even taking more elixirs will have no effect on . So, if you don't want
to die, get out now."
Clearly, Hu Xianfeng was showing them the door. Both Wang Zhan and Han Junxiong could sense that Hu Xianfeng was indeed at the end of his tether. So, although they had been talking and laughing, their hearts still felt heavy.
After all, if it weren't for Hu Xianfeng, they wouldn't be standing here safe and sound right now. Moreover, the entire reason Wang Zhan had been able to learn the rudints of the Art of Alchemy was because of Hu Xianfeng.
Wang Zhan hesitated for a mont before heading for the door. Just as he reached it, he paused, turned back to look at Hu Xianfeng behind him, and said with a smile, "Call
anyti if you need anything. Han Junxiong and I will stay by your side. We'll wait until your strength has recovered sowhat before we leave."
Hu Xianfeng smiled and nodded but didn't speak. His face, however, was still terribly pale.
Han Junxiong, not far away, also managed a smile and then walked towards Wang Zhan.
After they left the room and Han Junxiong had closed the door, he quickly walked up to Wang Zhan's side and asked urgently, "Did you notice just now? Hu Lao's complexion seems to be getting worse."
"He isn't seriously injured and finding it hard to heal, is he?"
After all, Han Junxiong was no fool. He knew very well how severe Hu Xianfeng's injuries were. If his condition continued to deteriorate, even Hu Xianfeng himself would likely find it very hard to recover.
Wang Zhan, standing nearby, sighed. He was also very aware of this. Although Hu Xianfeng possessed formidable strength, his advanced age was a significant factor. How could he possibly recover so easily?
