Chapter 15 Are there cute animals in the other world?
At the end of the previous chapter, Qi Xinyang collapsed in the final cave of the dungeon. Before she collapsed, she had already slain the final monster, the Blood Fairy. After she collapsed, her little feet followed the marks she had made all the way to the innermost cave, only to find her. All the caves and passages marked by Qi Xinyang had long been cleared of monsters. Since the final monster of the dungeon had already been slain and vanished, the monsters she had previously slain would not reappear.
Xiaojiao came to the innermost cave and saw Qi Xinyang lying on the ground. She immediately ran over, squatted down to check on her, and asked, "Big sister! Are you okay?" Qi Xinyang was no longer able to speak at this time.
When Xiaojiao saw Qi Xinyang's pale lips, he immediately took out the water bag from his bag and gave him water. After that, Xiaojiao immediately took away the mysterious object that fell on the ground and the remaining materials of the blood fairy, put on his bag and carried Qi Xinyang on his shoulders, and walked out of the underground city. When he reached the bottom of the Weeping Blood Pit, he first put the bag aside, tied Qi Xinyang to himself, climbed out from the bottom of the Weeping Blood Pit, and placed Qi Xinyang outside the Weeping Blood Pit. After that, he returned to the bottom of the Weeping Blood Pit, retrieved the bag, and climbed out again. Fortunately, he was a dwarf with a talent for carrying weights, otherwise, such two trips back and forth would have exhausted the others.
Outside the Weeping Blood Pit, Xiaojiao saw that it was still early and he could still make it back to the city. He placed Qi Xinyang on his horse, shouldered his bag, and led the horse back along the way they had come. When he brought Qi Xinyang back to the capital, the city gates were still open. Once inside, he immediately took Qi Xinyang to the infirmary in the shopping district.
At this time, there were still a few adventurers lying in the infirmary with minor injuries. When they saw that Qi Xinyang had been sent to the infirmary, they immediately stood up as if by some miracle and walked over to watch. In fact, these people's injuries did not affect their movements. They pretended to be unable to move and stayed here for other purposes.
After examining Qi Xinyang, the doctor at the clinic said, "She has lost too much blood, but there are no wounds on her body. Could this be caused by some magic?" The doctor here was a beautiful half-elf woman. Not only did she see Qi Xinyang's symptoms, she also guessed the cause directly.
Little Foot replied, "I don't know what happened. When I found her, she was lying on the ground, unable to move, and her lips were pale. I even gave her some water."
The doctor smiled and said, "I understand. Put her on the bed inside."
After saying that, Xiaojiao placed Qi Xinyang on the bed in the clinic. After the other adventurers had "miraculously recovered", they all left the clinic to spread the news of what they had seen.
This was the second time Qi Xinyang had been sent to the infirmary here. The first time was when she was seriously injured after defeating the Snow Doll. This was the end of her entire adventure through the dungeon in the Weeping Blood Pit.
Next, we'll return to the forty-fifth day of their arrival in this other world. Qi Xinyang, who had traveled far away, and Xiaojiao were chatting by the campfire. By this time, she had finished her story about the strategy for the dungeon in the Weeping Blood Pit.
By the campfire, when Qi Xinyang finished telling everything, Xiaojiao immediately took over and said, "I was wondering what happened. That day I followed your mark all the way to the innermost part, and I found you lying on the ground motionless. So this is what happened."
Ever since she had a follower, Qi Xinyang would make special marks along the passages she passed through while exploring the dungeon. If she hadn't emerged from the dungeon for too long, Xiaojiao would head to the deepest part of the dungeon to find her. Xiaojiao simply followed the marks, finding passages she had just cleared, so she didn't have to worry about encountering monsters.
Little Foot asked, "What is the name of that evil magic spell you said the blood fairy used?"
Qi Xinyang said, "Who knows? Who would know evil magic?"
Little Foot said, "Yes."
Qi Xinyang asked, "Do you know evil magic?"
Littlefoot said, "I can't. Do you know any evil magic?"
Qi Xinyang said, "I don't know either. Who would be so perverted as to learn evil magic?"
Little Foot said, "How can anyone who learns that be anything but a pervert?"
The two said in unison: "Pervert!"
Xiaojiao first placed the pot with water on the campfire, and then added some firewood to the campfire.
Xiaojiao went on to say, "But having said that, this blood-sucking spell seems very powerful. As long as you are in that blood-colored fog, no matter how many people there are, they will all be sucked blood by the monster. And there is thick fog all around and you can't see the monster, let alone destroy it immediately. Even if you want to retreat, you will faint there before you find the right way to escape, and then you will just wait to die. Fortunately, she is the big sister! If it were other adventurers, they would probably die every time they went!" He deeply felt the horror of this blood fairy.
Qi Xinyang said proudly: "Need I say more! What kind of adventurer am I? What kind of adventurer are they?" In fact, if it weren't for the little feet behind her looking for her, she might have died together with the Blood Fairy.
As they talked, it was time to start cooking. Neither of them was very good at cooking, but Xiaojiao was a little better. Since the long journey, Xiaojiao had usually been in charge of cooking and Qi Xinyang had been in charge of hunting.
Before her journey, Qi Xinyang had already gone to the travel groceries store in the capital to stock up on essentials. Not only did she buy a better bag and other travel supplies, but she also stocked up on arrows and bought some hunting traps. Besides shooting, she also used traps. The biggest advantage of using traps was that they reduced her arrow consumption.
Qi Xinyang, who was full, said, "The rice is too salty. Did you put the whole seasoning bottle in?" Her behavior was like "scolding the chef after being full", as she doesn't cook herself.
Little Foot didn't understand her sarcasm and said, "I didn't put it in. The seasoning bottle is still there."
They both finished eating and Little Foot cleared the tableware.
After finishing her work, Xiaojiao sat down and asked, "Big Sister, why do you only use Wind Walk? Where are your other spells?"
Qi Xinyang replied: "Basically, I don't use it. When climbing trees, I also use the 'wind body technique' to reduce my weight, so I can jump higher and climb faster."
Little Foot asked again, "Is there no offensive spell in wind magic?"
Qi Xinyang replied: "Yes! 'Wind Blade Technique', but its damage ability is not as good as my direct arrow shooting." Since she was only at the entry level of wind magic, the damage ability was naturally not as good as her mastered level of archery.
Qi Xinyang suddenly thought of something and said, "There's also a 'Wind Howl' technique that can make a very loud noise. Stand still and let me test the effect."
Little Foot said, "Big Sister, you're not the type to do that. You're using your own lackeys to 'test your sword'? Why don't you use it on monsters?"
Qi Xinyang said, "Are you stupid? Using this spell in the dungeon will attract monsters from farther away. So, don't call it 'Wind Howl'; it should be called 'Seeking a Fight'."
Seeing she couldn't escape, Little Foot immediately covered her ears and said, "I'm ready. Howl!"
Seeing this, Qi Xinyang pointed at the small feet and said, "Take your hand off. Quick! Let me try."
The two of them were arguing like this all the time during their long journey.
Back to You Jiahui and Yang Mingyi. It was the fifty-sixth day since they arrived in this other world, the day after You Jiahui received her protective gear. Today, she and Yang Mingyi boarded the carriage again, heading to the magic item shop to buy a wand. It was almost noon, and they arrived at the shopping street once again.
Yang Mingyi felt a little hungry and said, "After buying the staff, should we go eat something?"
You Jiahui said, "Of course. After we finish eating, we'll set out to defeat the monster."
Yang Mingyi was the first to see the magic prop house. She quickly stopped the carriage and said, "We're here!" Before she finished speaking, she jumped out of the carriage, looking very happy.
This time, upon entering, Yang Mingyi secretly observed the shop owner's race and saw that he was half-elf. Then, while looking at the magic props on the shelves, she slowly walked towards the counter. When she reached the counter, she asked, "Boss, can I order a custom staff here?"
You Jiahui followed her with her arms folded, wanting to interrupt her question, saying, "Boss, don't listen to her nonsense. I want a ready-made staff."
The shop owner explained, "We don't make custom staffs. To order a staff, you need to go to the forging workshop."
Yang Mingyi asked again: "What can be custom-made here?" She thought all stores could make custom items.
The shop owner replied, "We don't make anything to order. We only sell ready-made items and materials."
Yang Mingyi said with a little disappointment, "Oh." Then she walked around the store for a long time.
Seeing Yang Mingyi spinning around, You Jiahui crossed her arms and became a little impatient. She said to Yang Mingyi, "What kind of staff do you want? Buy it quickly."
Yang Mingyi nodded and asked, "Boss, do you have a wand suitable for water magic?"
The shop owner patiently answered, "Staffs aren't divided into magical categories; they only distinguish between amplification staves and storage staves. Amplification staves instantly expand the energy of damaging spells before releasing them. They're also relatively simple to use; simply point the crystal-encrusted tip at the target and cast the spell. Amplification staves can be inlaid with a wooden stave, while storage staves are best inlaid with a sturdy metal stave. Because the crystal-encrusted tip of a storage stave is used to strike the target, a metal stave is not only more durable but also allows the crystal to be more securely embedded in the stave. A storage stave is used a bit like a hammer, but you must first charge the damaging spell into the storage crystal so that the strike can inflict damage." He hesitated, then added, "However, if you were to ask an elven artisan, perhaps they could give you a more accurate answer."
Yang Mingyi nodded repeatedly as she listened. Then she asked, "So where can we find elven craftsmen?"
The shop owner replied, "The elves don't have contact with outsiders. Even if you can find the elven forest where they are, they won't let you in, let alone make a custom staff for you." After saying this, it could be seen from his expression that he was a little lonely.
You Jiahui was also listening in, and she picked up a lot of useful information. She thought to herself, "The elves are so mysterious, maybe they know what 'Aura Magic' is. I'll definitely ask them if I get the chance."
Yang Mingyi then asked, "Boss, you're half-elf, right? You should be able to sense which staff is more suitable for water magic, right?"
The shop owner explained, "We just look like elves, but we're not the same race. The girl seems to be using a power-expanding device, so if you want me to recommend one... please wait." He then went to the warehouse and pulled out an exquisite box. He opened the box, revealing a blue crystal staff.
Yang Mingyi was stunned and said, "Wow! It's blue! So beautiful!"
The shop owner went on to explain, "Look at this staff. It's made of a rare material called 'water blue wood.' This wood is sourced from Juexin Waterfall in our country, but it's far away and fraught with danger. Not only are high-level monsters lurking there, but even the dungeons there are already overflowing with monsters."
You Jiahui asked directly: "Boss, this is very expensive, right?"
The shop owner replied, "Five times the price of those staffs on the shelf."
You Jiahui advised Yang Mingyi, "Give up. Go pick one from the shelf."
Yang Mingyi was upset and said, "I don't want it, I just want this one!" At this moment, she gave people the feeling of a child who wanted to buy a toy.
You Jiahui said: "There's not enough money, there's nothing I can do. Be good and listen to me." She felt like she was coaxing a child.
