Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 86 Attack Claw Potion and Overload Potion

For the next three days, Su Nan ordered the werewolf messengers to hunt down the insects in the garden. The werewolf messengers' basic combat strength far surpassed that of these insects, and they were also immortal, so killing these insects was not difficult at all.

Moreover, the werewolf messengers, now in a frenzy, kill these insects incredibly quickly and efficiently.

After three days of working together, Su Nan and the AI ​​deduced which insects the key might be on.

These are insects that devour cruciferous vegetables within this ecosystem!

In a large cabbage garden where each cabbage is as tall as an adult, a pack of werewolves relentlessly hunts down giant, mutated, omnivorous mantises that like to perch on the tops of the cabbages and eat the cabbage leaves.

These mantises are about the size of a medium-sized dog.

Moreover, they can fly, and they possess chitinous, knife-like catching legs. These mantises are also extremely ferocious, capable of cutting a cabbage the size of an adult into dozens of pieces in seconds.

But against the werewolf messengers, they were easily killed with a single claw.

Werewolf packs have now become the dominant species in this ecosystem.

The werewolves' steel claws can easily destroy their catching feet.

Even though they can fly, their weak bodies can't keep up with the werewolves' agility and strength. If the werewolf messenger touches them even slightly, these mutated mantises will be knocked down.

Moreover, werewolves also possess wolf venom.

The mutated mantises infected with wolfsbane even started killing each other; at least half of the mutated mantises in the vegetable garden died from cannibalism.

Soon, a green key fell out from the body of a slightly larger mutated mantis, which had been torn apart by the werewolf.

The werewolf pack's efficient killing saved Su Nan a lot of time.

Su Nan picked up the green key and tossed it to Warwick, asking him to keep it safe.

The old butler, Warwick, took the key and stomped on the head of a mutated praying mantis. "So, the key only appears in the cruciferous botanical garden, young master?"

Sunan said, "Yes. The Oak Wizard loves plants as producers, but he probably prefers vegetables, which can be eaten."

Cruciferous vegetables are the most common type of vegetable.

"Therefore, he put the key inside the insect that eats cruciferous vegetables."

"It's really strange. It's supposed to be a maze protecting the laboratory and the tomb, but the solution always requires the solver to understand the Oak Wizard's thought process."

Su Nan said, "Of course, it can also be solved by brute force."

"If a madman were to indiscriminately hack and slash in this maze for months, or even years."

"There's also a chance you'll cut out the key."

"However, the efficiency is too low."

"Moreover, even if you happen to cut out a key, you can only understand that some insects contain keys, but you cannot realize that the key is in the body of an insect that eats cruciferous vegetables."

The old butler, Warwick, was silent for a few seconds, then said, "Young master, I think that of all those who entered the ruins, only you can guess the wizard's thought process."

"This is far too complicated. What if none of the intruders grasped his subtle line of reasoning?"

Su Nan glanced at the old butler.

That's the crux of the problem.

Why did the Oak Wizard want the intruders? Understand his thought process.

What's the point of this?

To flaunt his unique philosophy of magic to those who come after him?

But the person is dead. Even if they really wanted to show off something, they should have done so by leaving behind some powerful magical legacy.

Sunan said, "There's another carrot garden ahead. Carrots are also cruciferous vegetables. Mr. Warwick, Mr. Vasilyan, please take your werewolf pack to that garden and hunt insects."

"I've made great progress in this place over the past three days; I'm going to refine new magic potions."

Vasilyan and Warwick replied, "Yes, sir."

Su Nan simply stood there, set up a crucible, and began using the materials from the maze to refine new potions.

Over the course of three days, the AI ​​deduced the Attack Claw potion and the Overload potion from the abundant magical plants within the maze.

The main ingredient of the Claw of Attack potion is the mutated giant cabbage that the mutated mantises eat. This potion is mainly used to enhance all werewolves.

The expected effect is that when any werewolf unit kills another unit, their claws will absorb a portion of that unit's power for 5 seconds.

This will create a pattern in the werewolf's attack: in close combat, the more it kills, the more powerful and frenzied it becomes.

Based on the Fury Potion, the Five Claw Potions, and the werewolf skill system mixed with Wolfsbane Potion, the melee berserker's fighting style will be...

The Overload Potion is a potion made with the mutated corn from this garden as its core, and it is given to the Sacrifice Stone Golem.

This potion can grant all golems an additional skill—when necessary, it can suddenly activate all the magical power within the golem, increasing its speed by 1 and maintaining it for about one minute.

This potion is extremely useful for the cumbersome golem.

The golem has great defense and strength, but its only weakness is speed.

Both potions were only of the difficulty level required for a second-class wizard apprentice, so Su Nan quickly refined them.

Meanwhile, Su Nan has already initiated a project with the AI ​​to use materials from the Four Seasons Garden to deduce the formula for the [Tier 3 Frenzy Potion], and also to deduce the formula for the even more advanced Wolfsbane Potion.

In this way, the five-clawed type of additional magic potion is added.

The werewolf's combat power, having undergone three transformations, has now been established.

After the potion was finished, Su Nan drank the Claw of Attack potion. Once the werewolf pack reunited, he would share the Claw of Attack potion with all the werewolves.

At the same time, Blom suddenly used the wolf pack effect to frantically contact southern Jiangsu.

"Lord Sunan, I have met with sorcerers and cultists."

"Should I fight?"

"They seem to be killing insects everywhere, and they seem to have discovered the secret of the key. Especially that green-haired one, she can actually float in mid-air with the Cold Wind."

"That woman is ruthless; she killed hundreds of giant ants with a single scythe."

"That woman also has two... subordinates. One should be a one-star bloodline sorcerer we've seen many times before, and the other can actually control water, so she seems to be a higher-level sorcerer."

"I don't know if I can handle it..."

Sunan decisively gave the order. "No need, Blom, you don't need to fight them. That guy is probably a higher-level warlock."

"You can distract one of them, preferably the water sorcerer. He's very likely a two-star bloodline sorcerer. After you distract him, take the three Ascension Potions I gave you."

"You need to get injured to digest that potion."

"Perfect timing. A werewolf who has undergone three ascensions can gain the upper hand against a two-star bloodline warlock without much risk."

"We don't need to test the most powerful warlock directly. Let's keep her alive for now and start testing with two-star bloodline warlocks."

In response to the wolf pack effect, Blom said, "Okay... they've found me."

"Sure enough, the only ones chasing me are that one-star warlock and the two-star warlock. I'll lure them away first, then use the werewolf messenger group and the werewolf deacon to kill the one-star warlock. I'll deal with the two-star warlock myself."

"That highest-ranking sorceress completely ignored her companions and continued slaughtering the insects..."

"Are they really companions?"

"It's like they just happen to be standing next to each other, but they have no connection whatsoever."
