Zongman: Don't move, Aisi, your family still owes me money

"Roar!"

The silverback ape struggled desperately, trying to break free from the pool of blue sticky liquid that bound it, but it was unable to do so.

At this time, Ming and Qiangusa, who were farther away, also saw this scene.

"Ah... W-What is this!?"

Ming widened his eyes and looked in disbelief at the silverback ape that was stuck to the ground and could only wave its fists wildly.

What kind of thing could actually stick a monster as powerful as the Silverback Ape to the ground?

Chigusa was surprised that Merlin's arrow could actually break through the silverback ape's defense.

While the two women were in shock, Merlin did not take the opportunity to attack the silverback ape, but quickly distanced himself and came to the side of the two women.

"Mr. Mei."

"Lord Mei."

"You two, are you okay?"

Merlin asked, glancing at the two women.

"Ah, I, I'm fine. But Ming-chan, are you okay?"

Chigusa shook her head and turned to look at Ming beside her.

"Well, I...ahem...I'm fine."

After Ming coughed twice, he looked at the silver-backed ape still struggling in front of him with some worry.

"But Master Mei, is it okay to leave the silverback ape like this?"

Just as Ming was speaking, the silver-backed ape roared angrily, clenched its fists and smashed the ground where it was standing.

The terrifying force directly exploded the ground.

"Hey, Mr. Mei, are you really... okay? Why don't you attack it now?"

Qiancao was even more frightened by the silver-backed ape's terrifying roar and took a few steps back.

At this time, the completely crazy silverback ape directly grabbed the stone beside it and threw it towards where Merlin and others were standing.

However, because it couldn't turn around, it missed the target.

However, this also made Ming and Chigusa even more worried.

Because it looked like the silverback ape could break free from the blue liquid at any time.

"It's okay, it's dead."

Merlin waved his hand and said calmly.

"Dead"?

Ming was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what Merlin said.

Because at this time, the silverback ape was still alive and kicking, but Merlin said it was dead.

"Ah Ming-chan, look, that guy seems... off."

Qiancao suddenly pointed at the silver-backed ape not far away, with a look of confusion on her little face.

Wen Shengming immediately looked over and found that the silver-backed ape's movements suddenly became very slow and stiff, as if it had been hit by a paralyzing spell.

And the heart-pounding black color is covering the surface of the silverback ape's body and is spreading as time goes by.

This situation is obviously abnormal.

“Ah…”

At this time, the silverback ape let out a weak cry, and kept covering its mouth with its hands. A large amount of black blood gushed out of its mouth.

After seeing this scene, Ming reacted immediately.

"Is this... poisoning?"

"Hey, Master Mei, when did you poison that silverback ape?"

Ming turned his head and looked at Merlin in disbelief.

"Ah, could it be that arrow from before?"

Chigusa on the side thought of something, raised her head, clenched her hands, and said excitedly.

"Yes, I coated the arrow with poison earlier, and I also used corrosive powder to reduce this guy's defense and resistance."

"This guy is going to die soon."

Merlin said calmly.

The moment he finished speaking, the silver-backed ape in the distance collapsed to the ground, spit out a few mouthfuls of blood, and then became completely motionless.

After a few seconds, it completely dissipated in a ball of red light, leaving behind only a fist-sized magic stone and a piece of material.

A deathly silence enveloped the area.

Ming and Chigusa were completely shocked by Merlin's methods and were speechless for a long time.

The terrifying silverback ape that was powerful enough to wipe out their entire team was easily killed by Merlin.

And during the whole process, the silverback ape didn't even touch Merlin.

This extremely terrifying arrangement and calculation was completely beyond their imagination.

Just when the air was extremely quiet, Merlin turned around and glanced at the two women.

"Aren't you going to see Kashima?"

"It seems he just took a punch from the silverback ape."

After hearing Merlin's reminder, the two women reacted immediately.

"Ah, indeed, Sakura should be... okay," Chigusa hurriedly walked towards Kashima who was lying on the ground behind her with some panic.

And after Chigusa left, Meilin went straight to Ming.

At this moment, Ming looked up at Merlin, her pretty face full of admiration.

"Master Mei, you are truly amazing. I never thought you were so powerful. I truly admire you."

Ming said, lowering his head.

"No, it's nothing. If you had these equipment, you would do better than me."

Merlin waved his hand gently, without any pride or complacency.

"Here, drink it."

Merlin said as he handed Ming a bottle of green potion.

Ming took it without hesitation and drank it all in one gulp, then asked curiously.

"Master Mei, what did I just drink?"

"Ah... the wound doesn't hurt anymore. Is this... a healing potion?"

"It's amazing, it actually took effect so quickly!"

Ming looked at her body in disbelief. At this moment, she could no longer feel any pain, and even her strength had recovered a lot.

While she was still in shock, Merlin gave her another bottle.

"Give this bottle to Kashima."

After stuffing the potion into his mouth, Merlin walked directly to the place where the silverback ape died.

That’s right, he was sharp-eyed and had already noticed that the silverback ape had dropped some materials.

You know, this silverback ape is considered a relatively powerful monster in the shallow layer, and the materials it drops are naturally very precious.

In other words, it can be sold for... a lot of money!

However, being an alchemist is a very expensive profession.

(Today I will update three times to see the situation, and add more tomorrow if the data can be written)

Chapter 10: I cannot repay the favor of saving my life, so...

As he got closer, Merlin saw the fallen material.

It was a round skull, about the size of a fist, with a sparkling light in the big pit.

Because there were still some residues of sticky slime solution around, Merlin carefully avoided the slime and picked up the skull.

“This doesn’t seem that big.”

Merlin looked at the silverback ape's fallen skull in his hand with some confusion.

He remembered that the silverback ape's head was very large before, but it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was reduced by one tenth.

At this moment, a piece of information caught his eye.

[Rare Silverback Ape Skull]: The hardest part of the Silverback Ape's body. Because it concentrates the essence of the Silverback Ape's entire skull, this skull is harder than the Silverback Ape's own skull, even harder than steel.

"A rare skull? Harder than steel?"

After reading this introduction, Merlin's breathing became a little faster.

Because he just happened to be lacking a material with high hardness recently, and he didn't expect to get it here.

With this skull, he can start refining that protective gear.

After putting away the silverback ape's skull, Merlin looked at the dark-colored magic stone that was slightly larger than his fist.

"It looks like this magic stone should be able to be exchanged for a lot of money."

After putting away the magic stone, Merlin quickly walked towards where Kashima and the others were.

At this time, Kashima's complexion looked much better than before. Although his clothes were still torn, his injuries had almost recovered.

"Merlin."

Kashima saw Merlin and immediately stood up by holding onto the wall.

"Sakura, your injury hasn't healed yet, so don't..." Chigusa, who was standing by, walked forward with a little concern and tried to help.

However, Kashima shook his head and refused.

"It's okay. Thanks to Merlin's recovery potion, the injuries have basically recovered."

After Kashima finished speaking, he walked up to Merlin, lowered his head and thanked him in a deep voice.

"Merlin, you saved me again. If it weren't for you, I, we would all die here. I, Kashima Sakura, will never forget this life-saving favor. Even if it takes my entire life, I will do my best to repay it."

Kashima's powerful words echoed in everyone's ears for a long time.

The air couldn't help but quiet down at this moment.

After a moment's silence, Merlin walked forward, looked at Kashima seriously, shook his head, and explained.

"I'm afraid you've misunderstood something, Kashima."

"The victory over the silverback ape just now was not solely my achievement."

"If you hadn't attracted its attention, I wouldn't have been able to successfully launch a sneak attack."

"Besides, I wouldn't have been able to get here without your guidance."

"So, when you say I saved you, that description is not appropriate."

"Um...I...can..."

Kashima opened his mouth, trying to find words to retort, but nothing came to him.

Because everything Merlin said was true.

"Wow... But even so, the fact that you saved us cannot be changed."

Kashima gritted his teeth and decided not to think about those logical things, but to think based on his instinct.

However, to his great surprise, Merlin did not refute this point, but directly admitted it.

"Yes, it is true that I saved you this time, but you have also saved me many times along the way."

"In fact, I might even owe you something."
