Chapter 25 Potion
Chapter 25 Potion
"My arms, my body, why have they become like this?"
Inside the Drowned Zombie Farm, the bizarre zombie looked down at its newly transformed body, an indescribable sense of unease spreading through its body.
Even though this anomaly completely healed the severe injuries it had sustained from the iron golem, it could not accept this change in its heart.
"My skin has changed, I am no longer myself, I have become a freak."
Why is that?
A bizarre zombie... no, perhaps it should be called a bizarre drowned zombie.
It couldn't understand what was happening to it, and it didn't know whether its former kind would accept it in its current state after such a change.
"My kind may no longer recognize me, but I will become stronger because of it."
The bizarre drowned corpse looked around, clutching a crystal-blue trident tightly in its hand.
Suddenly, it exerted its power, and a burst of azure electricity erupted, instantly sweeping across the entire monster-slaying area. All the drowned corpses in the area were impacted by this force.
"If I had had this power before, I would never have become like this."
The bizarre zombie, clutching a trident, swam to a spot where it could clearly see the outside world.
The two iron golems that had attacked it stood outside, completely unaware that a different kind of drowned corpse had appeared in the monster spawn area.
"I don't know if I can defeat those two white guys now; their strength is just too overwhelming."
"Did these people who look just like me also become like this after they came here?"
"Did they come here voluntarily, or were they captured by those two terrible monsters?"
"What is the purpose of those two white creatures, and their kind?"
The bizarre drowned corpse's mind was filled with countless questions. It desperately wanted to escape this strange cage, but the wisdom in its mind prevented it from doing so.
"No, I'm not strong enough. I must become stronger to safely escape this cage."
As night deepened, Su He, along with Bruce, Little Green, the witch, and a host of monsters they had newly contracted along the way, returned to the base.
After settling the newly subdued monsters, Su He looked at the witch beside him and spoke.
"You are the first witch under my command with independent intelligence. I can have the monsters build a special residence for you, which will also make it easier for you to brew potions for me later."
Where would you like to stay?
The witch tilted her head in confusion after hearing Su He's words and pointed to the simple matchbox-shaped hut not far away.
"A place to live? You mean something like this?"
"Sizzle!"
Seeing the witch's rudeness, Little Green immediately became dissatisfied and rammed her head hard into her back.
The witch was unaware that the dwelling she was pointing to was Su He's house. When Xiao Lü suddenly bumped into her, she assumed that she had accidentally pointed to Xiao Lü's place, which led to the attack.
"Pretty much, it depends on whether you want it or not. If you don't want it, you can still live in a large, 'open-plan' mansion."
"What do you mean by an open-plan mansion? Is it like my little house?"
The witch didn't fully understand Suhe's meaning; in her heart, the best house was always her own humble little hut.
"Please build me a house just like that one."
Seemingly sensing the unusual tone in Su He's voice, the witch, though still longing for her original hut, ultimately decided to design her new residence in the exact same "matchbox" style as that hut.
After receiving confirmation from the witch, Su He brought in the zombie team responsible for the construction, leaving the witch to decide the location and size of the house.
Do they also have their own homes?
The witch glanced at Little Green, then looked at the busy zombies, and spoke.
"Some have them, some don't. They have the ability to build their own shelters, as long as it doesn't affect the base's planning, it's entirely up to them."
The witch listened to Su He's words and lowered her head thoughtfully.
What Su He said was entirely his true feelings.
If a zombie suddenly becomes intelligent and wants a place of its own, it would actually be a good thing for him, as it would mean that his monster army would have one more member with higher intelligence.
"I have one more question. Could you please return my cat to me?"
The witch looked at Su He with a pitiful expression, and Su He glanced at the black cat that stayed close to her and said helplessly.
"That depends on whether it still wants to follow you."
Creatures like iron golems, wolves, and cats, once tamed or created by the player, will remain absolutely loyal to the player.
So now he can't even return the cat to the witch.
Upon hearing Su He's answer, the witch couldn't help but show a look of disappointment.
That black cat was its companion, born into this world at the same time. It had been by its side ever since it first opened its eyes. It would be a lie to say that it didn't feel sorry for it.
Moreover, cats are quite useful to Su He, and from a purely profit-driven perspective, he would never return the black cat to the witch.
In Minecraft.
When the player is asleep, the tamed cat will walk up to its owner and lie on its owner's stomach, purring softly. When the player wakes up, there is a 70% chance that the cat will give the player a gift.
These gifts included: rabbit feet, rabbit skin, thread, rotten flesh, feathers, raw chicken, and phantom wing membranes.
Besides, cats don't spawn naturally in Su He's area right now. It wouldn't hurt to return the black cat to the witch once cats start spawning.
"You've been asking me questions the whole time, now it's my turn to ask you some."
"What kinds of potions do you brew? Don't you need a brewing stand to brew potions?"
This was a question that Su He had had ever had ever since she heard the witch answer that she could concoct potions.
After all, according to the orthodox process, brewing potions requires blazing rods and hellfire, which are not available at this stage.
Since the witch claimed she could make potions, Su He was very curious about what method she used.
"Could you please take my pot out first? I'll show you how."
Su He took the witch's potion-making cauldron out of her backpack, gently placed it on the ground, and thoughtfully filled it with water.
Under Suhe's watchful eye, the witch added the ingredients to the pot one by one, then took out a wooden stick and stirred the mixture in the pot while chanting a spell in a low voice.
As the incantation rang out, specks of purple cubes appeared in the air, intertwining to form obscure and incomprehensible runes. The moment the incantation ended, a potion was successfully brewed.
Su He looked at the golden liquid in the alchemy pot and immediately recognized the name of the medicine.
This is... a power potion?
