"Do I look like I’m kidding?" Qian Jin rolled his eyes
"No...but..." Duren Burg squatted down beside Qian Jin again and asked quietly: "You're really a pharmacist? I know that pharmacology is a very profound subject. Many people couldn’t even see the end after focusing on it for their entire lives."
"If you can find me some herbs, I can make some potion for you." After Qian Jin said that, he turned around and started to look at the training method of [Dividing Metal Multi-Chops] again. One amazing thing he realized was that he was able to train and use the fighting technique!
That’s right! In the past, only bloodline warriors were able to train and use Unique Bloodline Fighting Techniques. [Dividing Metal Multi-Chops] was a technique that only Iron-Arm Mantis Bloodline Warriors were able to train and use!
But now, Qian Jin was able to learn and train it with the assistance of Wind and Cloud Warrior Power! He wasn’t sure if he was able to finish training and use the most powerful strike here, but he was able to make some progress and learn a strike or two.
Cloud had no particular shape! The clouds in the sky could turn into any shape they wanted, such as the "cloud" in Wind and Cloud Warrior Power!
For the first time, Qian Jin found that his warrior power could behave just like the cloud with the ability to adjust and mimic the unique bloodline’s power to able to use the Unique Bloodline Fighting Techniques!
"Could it be? Is this the reason why no fighting technique was recorded on the Wind and Cloud Warrior Power Training Scroll?" Qian Jin looked at his hands sensed and his warrior power as he thought, "Could it be that the name Wind and Cloud Warrior Power was just made up? If warrior power could behave like a cloud that has no particular shape, then what about wind? What does that represent?"
Duren Burg scratched his head as he looked at Qian Jin’s back and smacked his lips. "I've never seen such a young pharmacist before. Looks like he is not lying... But if he is a pharmacist and a level 9 Demon Fighter... that's just too impressive!"
"Eh..."
An arrogant voice could be heard from another horse carriage. Abela shook her head as she sat up on the straws. She held onto her magic wand tightly as she glanced around viciously. "Who knocked me out?!" She asked.
None of the mercenaries turned their heads to look at Abela who was losing her temper; they all focused on moving forward.
"Uh? Where is the Black Wind Bandit group? All gone?" Abela glanced at all the warriors in suspicion. Soon, she let out a disdainful sneer as she said, "Huh! There is no way you guys could get rid of the bandits of Black Wind! Looks like my mom and dad’s name scared them away."
A few mercenaries looked at Abela coldly as they heard that and also let out a disdainful sneer.
"What are you guys sneering about?" Abela felt like she was being disrespected. She straightened her back and suddenly saw Qian Jin. A cold expression instantly appeared on her face as she said: "Oh right! You threw me into the mud a moment ago, and I haven’t got my revenge yet! Now..."
Squeak...Squeak...Squeak...
The caravan suddenly stopped, and every mercenary turned around and stared at Abela angrily.
"You... you guys..." Abela’s arrogance and dominating presence instantly toned down, she lowered her voice and murmured as she frowned, "How dare you treat me like this. I will remember this! When we get back to Yulee State, I will ask my mom and dad to lock all of you up!"
"Fatty Leong! Get me some clean water!" Abela sat on the yellow straws and shouted as she hit the body of the horse carriage with her wand, "Quick!"
"I can’t offend this girl’s parents." He sighed to himself. The fat on his face shook as little as he signaled two mercenaries that weren’t far away.
Abela grabbed the bag of clean water that the mercenary handed to her proudly. She raised her head and humped. Then she said to herself in a voice that everyone could hear, "Why are you all so high and mighty? After all, don’t you have to listen to me?"
Qian Jin also was too lazy to deal with Abela, all of his focus was on [Thousand Men Five Strike]. After two years of adventure and deadly experiences in Four Season Valley, he had his own wild and instinctive fighting style, but he lacked real fighting techniques. Since he had the Unique Bloodline Fighting Technique of one of the former top ten bloodline families and was able to use his Wind and Power Warrior Power to practice it, he wasn’t going to let this opportunity go.
Abela went into a horse carriage to wash herself up and changed into a set of clean clothes. When she came up with her head raised high, she stared onto Qian Jin who was lying on a carriage full of straws. Her hand and fingers that was holding onto her magic wand held it tighter and tighter subconsciously.
Zachery smacked his horsewhip in the air and made a loud crisp noise. He looked up at Abela and said, "You better not to mess with him, otherwise, you would be in a lot of trouble."
"Him? Why is he so arrogant?" Abela frowned as a disdainful expression appeared on her face. "He isn't a bloodline warrior, why would our Yulee Crystal Magic Tower be afraid of him? Even if he is the son of the president of your Torrent Battle Fort, it won’t make a difference. Whatever! I'll teach him a lesson when we get back to Yulee State!"
Abela then glanced at Fanta Kunge who wasn’t far away. Resentment appeared in her eyes as she murmured, "Huh, do you think a Demon Fighter is impressive in my eyes? When I get my brothers and sisters to help me, you will get a good beating even if you are a Demon Fighter."
Zachery shook his head as he whipped his horsewhip again. He didn’t anything else. "As long as she doesn’t try to mess with Qian Jin. That kid dares to kill even Warrick who was a leader of Black Wind Bandits; it's hard to say if he'll give even the two vice-presidents at Crystal Magic Tower face and not kill Abela if she shows any killing intent.
Seventy-five kilometers required a caravan that wasn’t fast two full days of travel.
In this Frontier full of danger and bandits, it was hard to travel peacefully for seventy-five kilometers. After getting rid of Warrick from the Black Wind Bandits, the caravan encountered two crews of bandits. The mercenaries, along with Fanta Kunge who fully utilized his level 3 Demon Fighter strength, had satisfied their craving for battle. As the time passed, the caravan approached the territories of the Demon Empire
From a distance, Qian Jin saw a live demon for the first time in his life!
The more than thirty demons were about the same height of two meters tall. The bulging muscles on their bodies made Qian Jin feel like they were made of stone.
They had two curled horns on their foreheads just like goats, and yellow-greenish hair on their body; these characteristics told Qian Jin that they were one of the seven largest demon species- Belia Demons!
In Zence’s documents, Belia Demons were very lazy and the weakest demons among the seven species.
Like other mercenaries, Qian Jin walked beside the caravans as he peeked at every single one of the Belia Demons. These demons were huge, they would be natural warriors if they picked up weapons! Even if they were as lazy as the books described, they were still hard to deal with in battle!
"At least..." Qian Jin thought as he looked at the mercenary beside him, "If they engage in direct combat, it would take two of these mercenaries to deal with one Belia Demon.
"One on one?" Qian Jin found that only a few mercenaries would be able to obtain victory in a life or death fight and the rest of the mercenaries would be taken or killed by the Belia Demons for military merits.
With hands behind his back, Boss Leong walked towards a security post guarded by demons causally; the timidity and fear that he showed at Zence Empire were no longer there. He looked like someone important from just the way he walked.
Flattering smiles appeared on these dark, vicious, arrogant, and eagle nosed Belia Demon soldiers as they saw Boss Leong.
A light smile appeared on Qian Jin’s face. Although the demons looked down on humans, with some of them even considering humans as two-legged sheep that could be roasted or boiled for food, they were extra respectful of merchants from the Zence Empire. Qian Jin had heard that the Demon King had passed laws making sure that every merchant from the Zence Empire was treated fairly and with respect.
Boss Leong who was a merchant that had a somewhat tough life in the Zence Empire instantly turned into a VIP guest within the Demon Territories.
Qian Jin lightly tilted his body backward and whispered at Fanta Kunge and Duren Burg, "If we don’t want to be visited by the Dark Group of demons in some remote place here with blades and knives, we shouldn’t show our Demon Fighter strength.
The careless attitude that Duren Burg had on the way here disappeared and a rare serious expression appeared on his face. Although the demons welcomed merchants from Zence Empire, they didn’t welcome Demon-Fighters, nor bloodline warriors. These people were the murderers of demons on the battlefields, and both empires won’t let go of chances that would weaken their opponent.
After Boss Leong chatted with the team leader who was a Belia Demon at the guard post happily and patted the demon’s arm that wasn’t any less thick than his thigh with his fat hands, he waved at the caravans as he shouted proudly, "Ok, let’s go."
Fanta Kunge wasn’t used to Belia Demon’s stares, he felt very uncomfortable as it felt like getting poked by numerous needles. He frowned as he looked at Qian Jin, but he found Qian Jin acting like a responsible mercenary who didn’t have an uncomfortable expression on his face.
Zachery lowered the cap on his hat even more as he praised Qian Jin quietly, "Damn, you are brave! This must be your first time seeing a live demon, right? You have zero reaction on your face, that kid from Fanta Family should learn from you."
"I’m used to it." Qian Jin answered calmly. At the same time, he peeked at the defense mechanisms at the guard post as he thought, "When I finish this mission, should I chop off a few demon soldier’s heads and bring them back to exchange for some military merits?"
"Used to it?" Zachery was even more curious as he stared at Qian Jin who increased his pace. "What is he used to? He got used to seeing demons after initial contact?"
Qian Jin was too lazy to clear up the thoughts in Zachery’s mind. After living in a dangerous place where a ton of powerful demon beasts resides, his nerves were extra sensitive but able to handle a lot of pressure. If he had to explain this to every person that he saw, he would die of exhaustion.
After the caravan entered the territory of the demons, they didn’t see any demon towns or cities. Just like the Zence Empire, the towns and cities were positioned twenty-five kilometers away from the border. This was the same level of respect and defense mechanism that the demons had towards the Zence Empire.
"Do I look like I’m kidding?" Qian Jin rolled his eyes
"No...but..." Duren Burg squatted down beside Qian Jin again and asked quietly: "You're really a pharmacist? I know that pharmacology is a very profound subject. Many people couldn’t even see the end after focusing on it for their entire lives."
