Chapter 90: Chapter 89 Delivering the Elixir

The mutated wolf was injured as well, but it was clearly in much better shape than the mercenary captain.

The indicator lights on the mercenary captain’s mecha’s brain unit began to alarm, signaling that the mercenary captain’s spiritual power was about to be completely depleted.

Once the mercenary captain’s spiritual power was exhausted and he had to exit the mecha, the outcome would be all too clear.

"This is bad, the captain can’t hold on much longer," a member of the mercenary squad started to worry.

Qu Tong glanced at the other two high-grade mutated wolves that were also in dire situations, then took out two light green potions from the Space Button and handed them to the speaking mercenary.

"Go help out, try to get the Energy Potions into your captain’s hands."

Qu Tong’s words were calm and decisive, making the mercenary subconsciously take the potion.

It was only after a moment’s hesitation that he said, "But our captain has already taken the Energy Potion three times just now, drinking more could cause a disturbance in his spiritual power."

With their lives on the line, they couldn’t care about much else, of course, they would use anything that was available.

"This one has no side effects, you can drink it," Qu Tong explained.

"How could an Energy Liquid possibly have no side effects? If the captain can’t control a Mental Outburst, none of us can suppress it," the mercenary didn’t believe Qu Tong’s words, as Energy Liquid wasn’t something to be consumed carelessly.

Seeing that the man was still hesitating, Qu Tong’s tone grew colder, "If you don’t deliver it, your captain is done for, it’s up to you."

Having said her piece, Qu Tong couldn’t be bothered to argue any further and already made her way towards Liu Hang.

The mercenary stood there stunned, full of anxiety.

During his hesitation, the mercenary captain took a hit from the mutated wolf, and the indicator light flashed even more frequently.

It was do-or-die, the mercenary steeled his heart and ran toward the mercenary captain.

Shouting loudly, he threw the potion straight to him.

"Captain, catch it, this is the potion from the Princess Consort!"

The mercenary didn’t dare to get too close, so he could only throw it.

Fortunately, the mercenary captain’s mecha managed to catch it with its hand.

The cockpit opened, and the two potions were sent in.

The mercenary captain didn’t have time to distinguish what the potions were and drank both bottles at once.

Then he felt his overdrawn spiritual power slowly recovering, like a spring slowly welling up in a dried-up field. Although not much, it was enough to address the emergency at hand.

A flash of surprise crossed the mercenary captain’s eyes as he maneuvered the mecha to leap high, dodging the mutated wolf’s attacks at twice the speed he had been capable of just moments before, and engaged in combat once more.

Meanwhile, Qu Tong also skillfully delivered two potions to the cockpits of Liu Hang and Song Ke with her whip.

Along the way, one potion was wasted due to a sudden attack from the mutated wolf.

With the support of additional manpower and potions,

the battle quickly stabilized, and the three high-grade mutated beasts fell in succession.

Everyone was exhausted, with many injured, now sitting on the ground treating their wounds and restoring their spiritual power.

"Everyone, pull yourselves together and hold on for a while longer, collect all the loot. The smell of blood might attract other Star Beasts, we’d better leave as soon as possible," the mercenary captain wiped the sweat from his forehead and, not daring to relax, gasping for air as he instructed his subordinates.

They had to muster their strength once more.

The mercenary captain, holding a specially made knife, cut off the four claws of the high-grade mutated wolf, then gouged out an Orange Crystal from its head.

Qu Tong was seeing this for the first time and couldn’t help but be curious.

The mercenary captain, being generous, gave Qu Tong the Orange Crystal from the mutated wolf he had defeated and explained, "This thing is one of the ingredients used to manufacture potions. I don’t know the specifics of what potion it creates, but we owe a lot to the good stuff you gave us this time, Sister Qu Tong. This crystal is for you."

Qu Tong was indeed curious and accepted it without demur.

"Hey, Qu Tong, what potion did you give me to drink? Was it an Energy Potion?"

"That doesn’t make sense. I already had three doses before, but these last two had such great effects and didn’t cause any damage to my Spirit Sea." The mercenary captain guessed and then dismissed his own idea, very puzzled.

"This... I bought it online." Qu Tong made up an excuse on the spot.

"From which store? I’d like to buy some too." The mercenary captain pressed on.

"Just, Miss Ali’s God of Wealth Temple." Qu Tong unhesitatingly threw her own store under the bus.

"Which Potion Company is this from? How come I’ve never heard of it?" The mercenary captain rubbed his head in confusion.

At this moment, another mercenary chimed in.

"I know! I know! Captain, do you remember the Spirit Power Stabilizing Potion I bought for you before? I got it from Miss Ali’s God of Wealth Temple. You didn’t believe it was only two hundred thousand and insisted on transferring me five hundred thousand."

"But when did her store start selling Energy Potions? How come I missed it?"

"Miss Ali’s potions sell out in one second after hitting the shelves, it’s normal that you didn’t see it." Qu Tong said with a calm expression.

"That’s also true." The mercenary nodded in agreement.

Hearing this, the mercenary captain looked astonished and patted his subordinate’s shoulder, delegating a critical task: "When we get back, Xiao Liu, you keep an eye on that store, grab any good potions you can for me."

"Yes, Captain." Xiao Liu replied solemnly, with a serious expression.

Qu Tong’s mouth twitched slightly as she considered the possibility of adding some Energy Liquid to her store’s inventory next time.

With Xu An’s warning in mind from before, this time she directly diluted the Energy Potion by tenfold. Although it lowered the recovery ratio for spiritual power, it also meant that the physical recovery was only 10%.

It shouldn’t be a problem to sell it as a flawed Energy Liquid.

As she thought about this, a cry of alarm suddenly rang out from the other side.

"Not good! Xie Ci is having a Mental Outburst."

Qu Tong immediately went over to check.

She saw Xie Ci, who had already passed out, his nearly depleted spiritual power now strangely rekindling, but wildly unstable.

Xie Ci himself seemed to be trapped in a nightmare, his face burning red, veins bulging on his forehead, and from time to time he let out painful groans.

The people around him unconsciously stepped back a certain distance.

As everyone knows, those experiencing a Mental Outburst have no sense of reason and possess extreme strength.

No one could guarantee that Xie Ci wouldn’t suddenly wake up and lash out at them.

All eyes turned to Qu Tong.

Qu Tong didn’t hesitate, taking out a light purple potion as agreed to administer to Xie Ci.

"Qu Tong, it’s dangerous! Let me do it." Liu Hang stopped Qu Tong, not confident in letting her, a physique-F person, step forward.

Qu Tong didn’t insist and handed the potion to Liu Hang.

From a corner, He Zhou asked Xu An in a voice only the two of them could hear, "You and your sister wouldn’t happen to know the master pharmacist behind Miss Ali’s God of Wealth Temple, would you?"

Otherwise, how could he explain that the Spirit Power Stabilizing Potion, which others struggled to acquire even with all their resources, had been brought out by them for the third time.

Xu An looked guiltily at his roommate, unsure how to brush it off for the moment.

But He Zhou gave Xu An a reassuring look: "It’s okay not to answer; I won’t spread it around."

"Thank you," Xu An whispered his thanks.

He Zhou smiled: "I should be the one thanking you."
