Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 170 The First Encounter with the Arcane Mage!

Huige mining area.

In southern Jiangsu, there are many exposed mineral veins and mine pits that haven't been dug out to a great depth.

The lizardman overseer whipped the naked gray dwarves, forcing them to hurry up and move the mine carts full of gravel, or to dig the ore more vigorously with their pickaxes.

There are approximately three thousand grey dwarves and over one hundred lizardman overseers in the entire mining area.

A female gray dwarf holding a child lay dead in the mining area, and the child in her arms fell to the ground.

She burst into tears.

Several young and strong gray dwarves tried to go over and help the child, but they were brutally whipped by the cold-blooded lizardmen.

It was not because of religious hatred, nor was there any racial hatred.

Letting the gray dwarves rest for a while wouldn't affect their interests, but the lizardmen still wouldn't allow them to rest.

Without him.

In this world full of slaves, every slave will seize the opportunity to vent their anger on slaves of lower status.

Moreover, these cold-blooded reptiles have absolutely no capacity for 'compassion'.

The lizardman overseers kicked the female grey dwarf's corpse aside and prepared to strangle the crying grey dwarf child.

To prevent his crying from disturbing them or affecting the efficiency of the gray dwarves' mining.

"Anyone who dares to slack off will die immediately. Don't stop."

"You dwarves are born to mine!"

"Since you all love mining, then mine as much as possible for the Mother. War is coming, and we need even more Aetherite."

"you……"

"Ah, enemy attack... Oh, no..."

The lizardman overseer looked up and saw Sunan, Blom, and Warwick standing on the top of the mine pit. The next moment, he was torn to pieces by Wolf Two's claws.

Now, when the mutated werewolf is in full power, every attack (with its seven-claw skill) has an attack strength of 0.7 rings. The lizardman overseer was directly knocked away by Wolf Two's claw, and his body and bones were torn to shreds by the enormous force.

Wolf Two activated Demon Blood Charging, three types of Fury, and one Boiling.

His wolf fur turned bright red, Zhou Shen was entangled in semi-materialized blood magic, and his golden ring pupils were also stained with blood shadows.

Immediately afterwards, Wolf Two killed all the dozens of lizardman overseers who surrounded him in less than three seconds.

At the same time, the thirty super werewolf messengers in Su Nan changed from their hound form to werewolf form. Each super werewolf was comparable to a veteran storm knight, and when fully activated, they could all unleash a 0.5-ring power attack.

When the last one, the Fire Dragon Lizardman leader, under the stone pavilion in the mining area, had his head lifted by a super werewolf and his skull crushed, the entire Huig mining area fell into Su Nan's hands.

Before it died, the fire-dragon lizardman uttered words that were both terrified and incomprehensible: "The wolf is coming..."

Su Nan poured the upgraded, three-times-sublimated super bloodline essence extraction potion onto his left hand. Instantly, emerald green rings appeared on the five fingers of his left hand, and an emerald green ring appeared in the center of his palm.

Then, with a wave of his hand, an invisible magical pressure spread throughout the entire mining area. All the gray dwarves were forced to the ground by this magical pressure, whose mental strength was above 80. The bloodlines in the corpses that came into contact with Su Nan's magic were all extracted by Su Nan.

More than fifty streams of blood flew backwards towards southern Jiangsu.

Su Nan snapped his fingers, and the werewolves raised five glass bottles and filled them with the blood.

Su Nan said somewhat dissatisfiedly, "We only extracted four bottles of blood from the Komora giant reptile and one drop of blood from the blue dragon pseudo-dragon."

"Jinx, swallow this blood. It'll help you recover."

Jinx cheered, took the five vials of blood that the Super Werewolf handed her, poured them into her body, and began to digest the high-energy blood.

Su Nan is using this method to replenish her with enough energy to undergo four sublimation mutations.

So far, the biggest gain from this trip to the underground world has been my own swarm of insects.

I will give most of this magical blood to the scarab swarm to drink, stimulating the swarm and increasing their reproduction rate. Then they will continue to multiply until there is a possibility of a fourth sublimation. After that, I will use a high-level sun-mark potion to help them complete their metamorphosis.

Life is not just about evolution; it can also be about degeneration.

Without Sunan, even with its astonishing reproductive capacity, the scarab beetle swarm might not have been able to evolve correctly along its entire path.

Meanwhile, Su Nan was using a magic potion to stabilize the correct evolutionary direction of the insect swarm.

We must prevent them from entering an evolutionary dead end.

Su Nan walked up to a gray dwarf pulling a minecart. The gray dwarf, freed from the negative effects of the magical pressure, immediately stood up and, after sizing up Su Nan and the others, knelt down directly before Su Nan, who appeared to be the leader.

Su Nan picked up an aether stone from the mine cart. He hadn't expected there to be so much aether ore in the underground world.

As long as I occupy this mining area, I can completely solve the problem of increasing my mental strength and can directly rush to a mental strength of 100.

If you sell the Shining Potion with added Aetherite to your fellow members of the Gathering, then even your fellow members might quickly reach 100 Mental Strength as a result.

However, to sell such a latest product, one must have a better next-generation product.

Otherwise, you risk being attacked in return.

It's like the 'World' witch.

A strong gray dwarf glanced at Su Nan's appearance with suspicion, while also looking at the terrifying werewolves behind Su Nan, as well as Wolf One and Wolf Two, who were constantly charging their magic blood, with visible magical radiance on their bodies.

The strong gray dwarf said nervously to Su Nan, "So, powerful masters, from now on, the mining area belongs to you. Can we continue mining here?"

"You are now our masters."

Su Nan raised an eyebrow. Indeed, in the slave world, whoever wins the battle is the slave.

In other words, even the slaves treated themselves as tools.

Now that these grey dwarves have seen Sunan, they have killed all the overseers of the Rye Mistress and think they are now Sunan's slaves.

Su Nan thought about it and decided that since all he wanted was the Ether Ore Zone, there was no need for him to easily change the local social structure.

Don't ruin the underground system yourself, or you'll only create more trouble for yourself.

Su Nan remained silent.

Old butler Warwick glanced at Su Nan, then said to the gray dwarf leader, "This mining area has now been taken over by the Peter family."

"You are now all miners of the Peter family, and you must not betray them."

"Forget it, you wouldn't understand what betrayal means anyway."

Betrayal requires that you be considered a human being in someone else's eyes. But in this slave society, slaves are merely tools.

Therefore, the tools feel no pressure at all when they change owners.

The gray dwarves immediately knelt down before Su Nan and the others.

"Long live the Peter family!"

"The Peter family are our eternal masters, our great and generous slave owners."

Su Nan was speechless.

Unexpectedly, I have become more and more reactionary. Being a feudal lord was one thing, but now I have become a slave owner.

But these are all minor matters.

Su Nan took out a bottle of Life Essence Potion and used the [Remote Potion Injection Spell]. With a wave of his hand, he extracted about one-tenth of the potion's power and injected it into the gray dwarf baby.

Instantly, the gray dwarf baby, who had been extremely weak and looked like he wouldn't live much longer, became full of energy, and his cries changed from intermittent and shrill to very healthy and loud.

At the same time, Su Nan casually waved his hand, consuming the entire bottle of Life Essence Potion, and the entire mining area was enveloped in a rain of potions created by the [Remote Potion Injection Spell].

In the green halo, many of the gray dwarves who had been suffering from overwork began to regain some vitality.

Unfortunately, Su Nan dispersed the potion too widely, so its effect was extremely limited.

Su Nan knew that even these slaves knew the difference between following a good master and a bad master. "You are now slaves of the Peter family. From now on, you will have a day off."

"At the same time, I gave you some minor treatment."

"Also, I need to see the information about the aether in this mining area. Also, the grey dwarf town next to the mining area has now been requisitioned by the Peter family."

"As one of our outposts in the underground world from the surface world."

The gray dwarves were stunned. They never expected that a great arcane mage like Su Nan would cast spells for them, lowly miner slaves.

This is amazing.

It's like an emperor who would lower his head and pay attention to the life or death of a beggar.

Many of the apathetic gray dwarves felt a warm glow in their hearts, perhaps because their new master was truly a good one.

Hopefully they won't change owners so soon.

There was nothing they could do; these slaves' mindsets were already ingrained. Even if they were extremely grateful to Su Nan, at most they just didn't want to change masters.

Honor and a sense of responsibility have vanished during these millennia of enslavement.

Individual bravery and the pursuit of dignity have long since vanished amidst ridicule and mockery.

Just as the gray dwarf chieftain was about to lead Su Nan and the others to the underground station where the data was stored, a powerful dark energy suddenly arrived from afar.

Sunan turned his head in surprise and saw a female drow suddenly appear on his left, trying to rush towards him and slash at him with her katana, but was blocked by Warwick and Blom at the same time.

The wolf claws collided with the samurai sword, generating a powerful surge of magical energy that shot into the sky.

Su Nan looked at the female drow warrior's cloak, which was staring at him, with a pattern of an eight-legged spider weaving a web.

That appears to be the mark of an arcanist in the underworld.

This was his first direct confrontation with an arcanist.

The opponent's mental strength is actually 25, which is the level of a first-class wizard apprentice.

As expected, arcane mages were generally at the level of first-class wizard apprentices.

That archmage is very likely a formal wizard.

Therefore, if there really are great arcane mages living in this underworld, they must be official wizards of the underworld.

However, there should be no formal wizards in Blackberry City.

According to the lizardman captives, the Rye Matriarch was just a very powerful arcane mage.

At this moment, the arcane drow looked in surprise at the two mutated werewolves blocking her way, while Wolf One and Wolf Two appeared behind her.

"So, there's such a powerful race in the surface world?!"

"Even more troublesome than the superior races."

"But werewolves from the surface world, you shouldn't have invaded our world! This mining area is an important resource point for our main city."

A dense dark energy appeared on the katana of the arcane sorceress drow.

Blom seemed to have discovered something using his super-sensory senses. "Oh no, get out of the way!"

The female arcanist Drow laughed, "It's too late."

"Arcane Missile!"
