There are many unknown mushrooms in the dense primeval forest.

Unfortunately, Stephen Zhou's strength has plummeted now, so he dared not die and try to eat it. Sometimes there will be some huge dull noises in the deepest part of the primeval forest. He heard him thumping. He was sure that there were definitely super large carnivorous beasts inside. The danger coefficient was still undetermined, but it could reach at least 3.0 or above. (Note: The danger coefficient of the Earthly Dragon is 1.5.)

"What monster left behind?"

Stephen Zhou had just entered the forest not far away, and saw some huge footprints on the ground.

Diameter 80 cm.

The front is light in the front and heavy in the back, the footprints on the hind limbs are larger and the traces are left deeper. It can be preliminarily judged that the center of gravity is on the hind limbs when the target is moving, with a height of about six meters (judging the height of broken branches), and weighing more than ten tons. These footprints are left for a while, and it can be confirmed that this is not its activity area, but it has come to the periphery of the forest for some reason.

A strong wind hit.

Just as Stephen Zhou was observing the huge footprints in front of him, a black shadow suddenly rushed over from the dense forest.

Puff!

Stephen Zhou turned over and avoided it in a mess, but a severe pain still hit, and a bloody claw mark was left on his back.

“Big cats?”

"leopard?"

"tiger?"

A quick glance at Stephen Zhou didn't see the target clearly, but when the target hit him again, he finally saw clearly what creature was attacking him.

Bobcat.

One huge bobcat, 2.7 meters long, standing close to 1 meter, weighing about 270 kilograms, has amber pupils and looks like a ferocious tiger. What makes Stephen Zhou even more uneasy is that the bobcat actually has two tails.

Meow!

Although it was a cat's meow, the sound was very low and full of danger.

The bobcat in front of him pounced again without a hit. This time, Stephen Zhou did not dodge anymore. Instead, he knelt down and leaned down at the moment when the enemy rushed over, waved the wooden pick in his hand. With a faint golden light, the wooden draft in his hand turned like silver-white metal in the blink of an eye. Then there was a shrill scream. The bobcat's pounce directly passed over Stephen's sky. The wooden draft opened his belly and poured him over from head to toe. Such a shocking injury was not enough to make the two-tailed bobcat die immediately. After landing, he took five or six steps before he fell to the ground. He twitched dyingly for a long time before he finally died.

"really!"

"The high oxygen content has led to the huge size of animals in this world! A bobcat is actually as big as a tiger! Are these two tails mutants?"

Stephen Zhou took a few sips of blood to replenish his physical strength and salt, and then he resisted the huge bobcat in front of him and ran out of the forest without looking back. The beasts were much more sensitive to the smell of blood, and some could be smelled dozens of kilometers away. He had to leave here quickly to deal with it to avoid attracting other beasts.

Although alchemists are not good at fighting, their physical fitness is generally good.

Especially an alchemist like Stephen Zhou, who is very specialized in mining, may be stronger than many warriors in physical fitness and endurance.

soon.

He returned to the temporary base, and the smell of blood attracted some carnivores, but they did not leave the forest and returned near the edge.

There is a unique biological chain here.

Many wild beasts seem to be distributed within a certain range according to some rules.

……………………

Stephen Zhou put the huge bobcat on the workbench and completed the peeling and division in a blink of an eye. His hands seemed to have strange magic. He just rubbed the leather and then finished making the leather. Then he pulled off the bobcat's hair and twisted it with his fingers into a complete thin thread. Then he chose a slender bone to pierce it into a needle. After about ten minutes, he cut it into pieces of a simple leather jacket and leather pants.

"I finally have clothes to wear and no longer have to walk the birds."

Stephen Zhou gave out a breath, then said bitterly: "Next time, you have to make it according to the conventional method, otherwise the remaining power will be used up soon."

As the most amazing branch of alchemist, Stephen Zhou's power is gained from work.

In the work of planting, mining, forging, alchemy, etc., he can quickly extract elements from nature to supplement the magic he consumes and store it in his body. This efficiency is far higher than the meditation of ordinary alchemists, and it is also the capital for him to become a legendary alchemist at a young age. According to his past data, his strength at its peak was close to the limit of mortals. However, because he could not break through the bottleneck at any time, he simply reduced his strength and created a semi-artifact with soul enchantment, and focused his research on a creature called [God Evil], trying to break through the bottleneck limit of mortals. But unexpectedly, the plan was accidentally cheated at the beginning. Not only was he framed and finally sentenced to permanent imprisonment.

Stephen Zhou doesn't like fighting because it consumes too much magic.

In his opinion, magic should be saved in normal times, and then when the upper limit is filled, it will break through the bottleneck and upgrade in one breath. The magic power that Stephen Zhou's body can store dozens or hundreds of times that of ordinary wizards, but the consumption of battle also increases exponentially. Often, he needs to farm for a long time to recover in a large-scale battle. The upper limit of magic power is too high and it is very slow to replenish. It is really too affecting the speed of upgrading when used for combat.

He is an academic research alchemist, not a fighting madman who likes to fight.

The core principle of alchemy is ‘equivalent exchange’.

Even if it doesn't look equal, it must look "equivalent" to some extent, just like a kilogram of gold and a kilogram of brass. Anyway, whether you believe it or not, top alchemists believe that they are equivalent.

Those who can understand this have the talent to become an alchemist!

Most of Stephen Zhou's power was exhausted in the turbulence of time and space, and the only one ability that can be used is left - [Change matter] (form).

A handful of bobcat's hair.

You turned it into a ten-meter-long thread, but it was essentially the hair of a bobcat, but it just looked a bit outrageous. (It didn't turn into cotton thread.)

To put it bluntly, Stephen Zhou can use it now is that simple.

When he can turn brass into gold, he will truly restore some of the power of the past.

Seriously speaking.

All the abilities that Stephen Zhou now show can only be regarded as apprentice-level "tricks" among alchemists. Of course, this standard cannot be applied to other indigenous civilizations, because alchemists who can do this are already very powerful in indigenous civilizations. Moreover, those who can use tricks so well are no one except Stephen Zhou.

The world is big, and the food is the biggest.

Although the shuttle in the turbulence of time and space brings internal time to a ban, Stephen Zhou is already very hungry after being active for so long.

He is an open-minded person.

How long has the time passed in the space-time turbulence and the outside world? He is still in the original galaxy, or even in the original universe, because even if he thinks about it, he can't do anything now. The Arcane Empire had passed through the space-time turbulence and reached the universe he had previously lived in.

Creating a fire is very simple.

Stephen Zhou raised a bonfire at a glance, and then used a wooden stick to put on the lynx meat rack to roast it. He is a person who is very particular about life. Although most alchemists are very homeless, they are first-class experts in enjoying life. Now there is no seasoning for oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and the bobcat meat still has a fishy smell. Even if you are hungry, you will feel uncomfortable eating. Stephen Zhou can only make do with your stomach first, and then find a way to see how to improve your life. At present, he doesn’t know the situation in this world, but a legendary alchemist can build a paradise even on the Death Star. If it really doesn’t work, he buried his head in digging a mine for more than ten years and then build another floating city.

At worst, start over again!

Since the pits had been dug underground, Stephen Zhou naturally moved the position to a safe place first. He packed the bobcat's meat, then put it away the workbench, and then followed the stairs to reach the underground.

"It takes a little torch."

Stephen put the workbench down, strengthened the surrounding walls with alchemy, then took out the wooden pick and started digging stones.

This process is much slower.

The stone is much stronger than other things. Stephen Zhou’s tools are not good. It takes more than fifty strokes to dig out one cubic meter of stones. Moreover, the wooden picks wear very quickly. Because of the ability to ‘change the form of matter’, the stones dug out are still a complete piece, as if they were cut with top-level machinery. Stephen Zhou first collected a batch of stones and then moved them to the workbench for production.

Stone Age!

Anyway, he had enough of these wood tools, or should he upgrade to the Stone Age first.

Making stone tools consumes more power, but fortunately, it only changes the basic shape of matter, rather than changing the inner essence. Stephen Zhou can still withstand it now. Alchemists like him rely mostly on farming to accumulate power in the early stage, because farming is the way to consume the least and collect the most energy. Alchemists of the Stephen clan are very cautious about enchanting, because top-level soul enchantments will temporarily reduce their strength level. (The upper limit of the level remains unchanged.)

"I would have had an iron golem."

Stephen Zhou sighed while polishing the stone tools: "Let the iron golem be responsible for the basic work, and only complete the most critical steps by himself."

"Tell me."

"Where should I find some iron ore?"

Stephen Zhou, who had just upgraded to the Stone Age, is full of desire for the Iron Age, but he is currently blinded by the world and he dare not run around. A bobcat can hurt him, and he will be done when encountering other beasts. He needs a lot of gold to reactivate the alchemy marks on his body.

Time flies very quickly.

After making the stone tool, Stephen Zhou looked at the wound on his back and it was almost healing.

Alchemists have their own unique way of understanding.

For example, the wound on his body first cut the skin, right? Then there was a lot of blood, right? Then the flesh was cut open, right?

But.

He just ate a lot of bobcat meat and has supplemented the nutrients he needs to repair these wounds. Since the nutrition for repairing the wounds is satisfied, the wound should naturally heal quickly, right?

All right.

The above are actually nonsense. As a legendary alchemist, Stephen Zhou's body is also one of the peak achievements of alchemy.

Crazy.

As a blood cocoon was peeled off, Stephen Zhou's back was as smooth as new and there was no scar at all. He moved his body, then picked up the stone pickaxe and started his own mining career.

Stone is the basics of architecture.

Since there is no way to obtain iron ore, I can only stock up on some stone first.
