Chapter 84 Terrifying Enhancement Potion
Lin Er looked up at the gate in front of him. It was about six meters high and four meters wide, made of hardwoods of different thicknesses, and studded with nails.
There were no towers built on top of the gate, and it was quite wide when opened. Several goblins carrying wooden barrels were walking out of the camp. The gate was just wide enough for two goblins to pass through side by side.
This gate probably wasn't built specifically for large monsters.
Lin Er secretly said.
Upon entering the camp, one is greeted by a wide crossroads, with two-story wooden huts built on both sides of the road. The roofs are of varying heights and are crammed together without any planning, making it look quite messy.
A thick fog permeated the camp, enveloping the buildings and adding a touch of mystery.
As soon as Lin Er stepped inside, a cloud of dust billowed up, and a faint smell of decay wafted over, carrying with it a subtle, almost imperceptible, fishy stench.
From the memories he obtained through soul-searching, he learned that this camp had only been completed this year and could be considered newly built. Now, at a glance, it was as if he had stumbled into a dilapidated slum.
Lin Er was both surprised and curious, but he tried his best to remain calm, silently observing the environment inside the camp out of the corner of his eye.
On the east side of the crossroads, the houses are crowded, with wooden walkways connecting the first and second floors, and numerous wooden ladders supporting both the upper and lower levels. At a glance, one can see many lizard-like demi-humans living there.
The west side is wider, with many tall sheds surrounded by a fence, somewhat like warehouses, where giant spiders and wolves are kept.
I just don't know where the elixir is distributed.
Lin Er withdrew his gaze, turned to look at the skinner beside him, and suddenly patted him on the shoulder as if he had thought of something.
"Would you be interested in becoming one of us?"
Upon hearing this, Skinner's face turned deathly pale, and he hurriedly cried out, "Lord Sharp Claw, spare my life!"
Lin Er glanced at the skinner indifferently and chuckled, "I'm not going to kill you, why are you so nervous?"
Peeling skin shrank back, so frightened that he knelt down on the spot.
"Lord Sharp Claw, please spare me!"
Lin Er gave a cold laugh and said, "So, you're saying you have ulterior motives?"
Peeling quickly shook his head, raised his head, and forced a smile onto his face, but it looked extremely ugly.
"Lord Sharpclaw, I am utterly loyal to Master Stormthroat, and there is absolutely no disloyalty on my part!"
"Hmph! Since you're so loyal, you can't even fulfill this simple request. You wouldn't happen to be a spy, would you?"
After saying this, Lin Er placed his hand on the steel knife at his waist.
Skinner's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly shouted, "Lord Sharp Claw, I'll go sign up for the drug trial right away!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Er put down the steel knife in his hand.
The peeled face tasted bitter as it got up from the ground.
He had the goblins move the boar carcass over to the slaughterhouse and then dismissed the goblins.
Under Lin'er's coercion, Bopi, both angry and afraid, reluctantly walked towards the center of the camp.
The closer to the center, the more regular the style of the sheds became, and the materials gradually changed from wood to earth and stone.
A small palace came into view, with a group of lizard-like soldiers guarding the entrance and exit, making it very heavily guarded.
This is the residence and command center of the Dragon Shaman Kolo.
A canopy had been erected beside the road in front of the palace, and a group of goblins were lining up, along with a few lizard-like beings.
Eight lizard-like soldiers were maintaining order, forcibly administering a bright green potion to the goblins.
Lin Er looked up and saw that after a goblin was given the potion, its body immediately swelled up and its muscles rapidly enlarged.
In a short while, the goblin's skin turned yellow, and its physique became stronger. It actually broke through to the first rank on the spot.
Lin Er was shocked. No wonder Deacon Roseline issued a bounty for the urgent extermination of goblins. If they were allowed to continue to strengthen themselves like this, wouldn't they be able to cultivate thousands of first-tier goblins within half a month?
Just as he was secretly alarmed, the goblin suddenly screamed, clutched its neck with both hands, and collapsed to the ground with a mournful howl.
The goblin rolled around on the ground, then spat out a mouthful of black blood. Its skin rotted away at a visible speed, quickly turning into a pile of minced flesh.
The process happened so quickly that Lin Er was dumbfounded.
The goblins in the queue were terrified when they saw the miserable state of their kind, and they retreated repeatedly, trying to run away.
The lizard-like soldiers raised their swords and blocked them all, followed by a barrage of punches and kicks.
They weren't ordinary lizardmen to begin with; taking down a few goblins would be a piece of cake for them.
A while later, the dozen or so goblins, their faces bruised and swollen, howling in pain, obediently lined up again.
The few lizard-like demi-humans in the queue also trembled, but dared not leave, and could only pray silently.
Soon, the pieces of meat on the ground were thrown into the trash can, and the drug trial continued.
Lin Er walked over with the skinner, and the lizard-like soldiers didn't stop him; they simply made way for him.
Lin Er looked at the medicine on the counter, and upon closer inspection, found it to be very thick, yet with a faint medicinal fragrance.
[Inferior spiritual medicine: Contains a certain amount of spiritual energy and medicinal power. When ingested by Qi Refining cultivators, it can increase their cultivation level to a certain extent, with no side effects. Usable by those below the Foundation Establishment stage, but resistance may develop.]
This actually is a miracle drug, but it's a low-quality version.
"Are you planning to bring him here for a drug trial?"
A hoarse voice came from behind the counter.
Lin Er looked up and saw a lizard-like demi-human looking over with a hint of indifference in his eyes.
This is the butler in charge of distributing the medicine, named Seth.
Lin Er looked Seth up and down, and Seth looked back at him in the same way.
"Why do I feel like I've never met you before?" Seth said in a deep voice.
Lin Er remained expressionless and replied, "I am Rui Mu's younger brother, Rui Zhao. I don't usually operate around here in the camp."
"Sharp-eyed brother? I told him that the drug trial wasn't mandatory, but he still ran away."
Seth's expression softened, and he shook his head and sighed.
"I originally wanted to have this human test the drug today, but since you've already brought him, let's get started."
After saying that, he immediately took out a bottle of enhancement potion.
Peeling skin's expression suddenly became even uglier than crying, and he hesitated, not daring to step forward.
Seth clapped his hands, and two soldiers rushed over, grabbed him, and forced him to drink the potion.
As the drug took effect, Peeling immediately grabbed his own neck, struggled, and collapsed to the ground. His skin turned bluish-gray, and he died on the spot.
Compared to the goblin's death, skinning was obviously much better, leaving him with a complete corpse.
Seth sighed again and shook his head: "This inferior potion is still a bit less effective. If he had used a higher-quality potion, he might have succeeded."
Hearing this, Lin Er also perked up his ears and asked, "How do we obtain high-quality potions?"
Seth glanced at Lin Er and said indifferently, "You don't need to ask that."
Lin Er changed his tune, saying, "Lord Seth, then give me a bottle of inferior potion."
Seth looked at Lin Er in surprise.
"Aren't you afraid of dying?"
Lin Er clenched his fist, looking righteous and awe-inspiring.
"For the sake of the clan leader and Lord Stormthroat, I am willing to be a test subject!"
