Rock Kingdom: Why is black smoke coming out of my star chart?

Chapter 23 Heading to Listening Wind Farm

With his thoughts already drifting to Lingfeng Farm, Lin Feng hurriedly ran towards the Yuanxing Chamber of Commerce.

Martha, still dressed in her martial arts uniform, started practicing boxing with the mallard duck before dawn, and greeted Lin Feng.

Just as Igu got up and was about to call the workers to start work, he saw Lin Feng run in and asked in surprise, "Why haven't you come to learn alchemy these past few days? That old man Claire has been waiting for you for ages."

Lin Feng didn't explain, but threw out the Gulu Ball to summon Ami Sakura, and laughed, "I've been busy with this guy for the past three days!"

Igu adjusted his right eyeglass lens, then touched the rock that formed Ami-sakura's muscles, exclaiming in amazement at the magic contained within, "Incredible! This Pokémon is amazing!"

Hearing the praise, Ami Ying flexed her muscles even more vigorously, her small eyes curving into crescent moons as she chuckled.

"Hey! It's not time to start work yet! Why are you making such a racket?"

Claire, with dark circles under her eyes, pushed open the door and cursed. Seeing Lin Feng finally arrive at the Chamber of Commerce, she said sarcastically, "Oh! Isn't this our genius magician? What brings you to learning alchemy today?"

Lin Feng awkwardly kicked at the pebbles on the ground with his hands behind his back, and said, "I wanted to visit Lingfeng Farm, so I came to ask if any caravans were traveling this trade route and if I could take one..."

Igu raised an eyebrow and said, "A caravan will be heading to the western factory this afternoon to pick up goods."

"However, it seems you're quite capable now. If you want to join the team, I can offer you the salary of an elite bodyguard."

"Igu! Don't forget, dark wizards have been very active lately!"

The dark wizard is indeed a major problem, but with so many Lockes in the caravan, the safety level is definitely higher than if he went alone! Besides, if danger occurs, as long as the others can hold off the others, he can use teleportation magic to escape back to the shopping street.

Lin Feng nodded and said, "Then thank you, Master Yigu! Claire, it's not too late for me to learn alchemy when I get back; the magic academy still has a long way to go!"

Claire, exasperated, stamped her foot and said, "No way! I'm coming along! I want to really test your alchemy skills!"

Igu was happy to see Claire go out for a stroll; staying in the Alchemist's Chamber all day wasn't good for her health.

Moreover, as an alchemy master, Claire's strength should not be underestimated, making the caravan's safety more secure than ever before.

Lin Feng spent the entire morning preparing personal items that might be needed. According to Yi Gu, it would take a whole day to walk from the shopping street to the factory in the western district.

We'll be setting off in the afternoon, so spending the night in the wilderness is inevitable.

Aunt Lorraine packed a lot of food that was easy to carry, carefully straightened Lin Feng's clothes, and said, "Little Lin Feng, you must be careful!"

"Don't worry, ma'am! Master Claire has been with us the whole way!"

Watching Lin Feng gradually disappear into the distance, the room fell silent once more. Aunt Luo Lin wiped her eyes and shouted, "Come back soon!"

……

The Faraway Chamber of Commerce.

Claire was equipped with many mechanical devices, and you could smell the engine oil from a distance.

Before leaving, he sat in the caravan's wagon, carefully wiping a ball with a silk scarf.

He muttered to himself, "Old buddy, I wonder if I'll ever see you pull something out of the box again... the machinery ban!"

"I don't know when it will be lifted."

Lin Feng arrived just in time and followed behind the convoy.

As the convoy passed the secret medicine shop, Lin Feng glanced at the leader's bloodline secret medicine displayed on the counter from afar, a gesture that Claire witnessed.

He sighed, "This kid seems to have had some extraordinary encounters! Is he a follower of that deity from Qingfeng Mountain?"

The caravan finally left East Street and officially entered the wilderness.

Along the path, in the woods and grass, one can occasionally see traces of winter-feathered birds and small insects.

A few star-shaped lions frolic past the intersection, or dandelion seeds drift by in the wind.

Lively.

"roar!"

Three chilipes fled in panic, with a crowned lizard hot on their heels.

"alert!"

The Stone Crowned Lizard, with its憨厚 (honest and simple) expression, makes the most aggressive moves, immediately launching a meteor attack upon seeing a caravan.

Several sparking meteorites fell from the sky, leaving brilliant trails in their wake.

The uncle at the front rushed forward and quickly threw out the Gulu Ball to summon the Bouncing Grass, which then wrapped the entire caravan in a waxy film!

The falling meteorites were all blocked by a layer of green film! They dissipated into the air as unclaimed magic.

The bouncy grass suffered a magical backlash and crouched to the side to recover its life. Seeing that the crisis was over, the other members of the caravan summoned their own spirits.

Chili Leaf, Sonic Dog, Spiny Helmet Beetle, Leaf-like Beetle.

"Kiril Leaf! Use spores!"

"Sonic Hound! Use Fire Cloud Chariot!"

"Helmet beetle, blast it with water!"

"Leaf-spiral insect, insect gu."

The barrage of attacks stunned the Stone Crown Lizard, causing its stone spikes to explode one after another, shooting out in the direction of the attack.

"Ugh!"

The Sonic Hound withstood all the counterattacks in close combat, its tail drooping as it glared fiercely at the Crowned Lizard.

Lin Feng certainly wasn't going to just watch the show. He threw out the Gulu Ball, "Come out, Fugui! Use magic enhancement."

Duck Gigi spreads its wings in the air, absorbing the magic in the air to strengthen itself.

A flash of white light, and its magical aura doubled in intensity!

Lin Feng instinctively took over the command and shouted to the caravan members, "Uncle! Have your bouncy grass use Leaf Beam!"

"Chili Leaf, move up, use Fiberization, Sonic Hound, circle behind it, find the right moment to use Fire Cloud Chariot, Spiked Helmet Beetle, and continue using Water Splash."

As for the leaf-twisting insect, he completely ignored it; it's tiny and hard to spot without careful observation.

"Okay!" ×5

The seed that was originally parasitizing the Stone Crown Lizard extracted a life force and restored itself to the Bouncy Grass.

A blinding beam of light shot from the top of the Bouncing Grass's head, slamming into the Stone Crown Lizard. The Spiny Beetle flicked its water, aiming at the Stone Crown Lizard in front of it.

The Stone Crowned Lizard roared, its wounds causing it to lose its mind. It burrowed into the ground and burst out from under Chiliye.

The weak terrestrial plants, thanks to the reduction in damage caused by fibrosis, are in relatively healthy condition.

However, the crowned lizard was severely damaged by the poison from the bouncy grass and the helmeted beetle!

At the same time, the Earth element is weak to Water, so both of their attacks exerted double the suppression!

"Roar!"

The crowned lizard finally sensed something was wrong and turned to run away, only to be met with a huge wheel of fire hurtling towards it!

"boom!"

The fiery wheel struck it, sending it flying backward.

"Rich and powerful! Use Ambush followed by Charged Strike! Prepare to harvest! Helmet Bug, Bouncing Grass, use Corruption!"

The thorny beetle and the bouncy grass simultaneously sprayed purple light waves, covering the crowned lizard and corroding away its skin and rock armor.

"roar!"

The Stone Crowned Lizard roared in frustration and used its burrowing ability to escape.

How could wealth and power grant its wish? It flapped its wings and unleashed all the energy it had accumulated.

"hiss!"

A massive beam of energy engulfed it.

The magic gradually dissipated, leaving only an unrecognizable corpse that was slowly fading away.

"Wow, that's amazing!"

The middle-aged man in the lead stared wide-eyed. The elves he was commanding were actually more powerful than all of them combined!

"As expected of a freshman at the magic academy!"

"Wow, he's so capable! I thought he was just some young master coming along to broaden his horizons!"

The caravan guards became agitated.

Claire's eyes gleamed slightly. He knew about Lin Feng's background. Little Locke, who had only been in contact with the elves for ten days, actually had such a command level!

They also have an excellent understanding of elemental weaknesses and Pokémon skills; these are things that cannot be learned without a teacher.

Perhaps... he and Iris have an extremely good relationship, which is why this great mage is willing to waste time teaching him how to fight elves.

"genius!"

Claire became excited; only a true genius like this could possibly become a powerful figure in the kingdom!

Go and change the status of the mechanical spirits!

Amidst the merriment, the caravan disposed of the stone-crowned lizard's carcass and continued on its way, without encountering any further trouble.

With someone helping to keep watch, Lin Feng was able to relax and enjoy the scenery along the way. After walking for an unknown amount of time, the group finally left the jungle and arrived at a vast grassland!

At sunset.

Sheep, starlight lions... countless little creatures roam the grasslands, where you can occasionally witness a hunt or a heartwarming scene.

Under the warm, dim light, there was a sense of peace and tranquility.

Gradually, the sun set in the west, and night fell.

The caravan halted its journey. Several guards gathered branches and lit a campfire. The uncle took out a lot of spices from his small backpack, cut off some meat from the crested lizard, and started roasting it.

The youngest-looking guard produced two bottles of Coca-Cola from somewhere, handed one to Lin Feng, and said, "We bought this when we walked down Peter Avenue last time. It's delicious! Even better than Covas."

Lin Feng took the Cocoa Fruit from his hand. The liquid in the bottle was purplish-black with a few bubbles, and it looked very similar to the cola in his previous life.

Without being polite, he unscrewed the cap and took a sip; it was surprisingly delicious.

It tasted sweet and sour, with subtle bubbles that stimulated the taste buds, and a lingering aftertaste. He handed the cocoa liqueur to Claire and said, "Claire, try it, it's delicious!"

Claire accepted it with a complicated expression. How could he not know about Cocoa Gola? Peter Avenue was the holy land of "alchemists".

But it's not his holy place.

He had long thought his future lay in the snooker company, until he actually visited Peter Avenue and realized the deep darkness lurking within it.

Perhaps that darkness was what his master had told him, the culprit that caused the rebellion of the Golden Age.

Claire took only a small sip and said, "If only you had this kind of drive when you studied alchemy."

Time passed little by little.

Some ghostly spirits have begun to appear in the wilderness.

Taking advantage of the break, Lin Feng summoned Ami Sakura. Without even using Greed, he directly crippled Little Spirit Face with a single Demon Claw attack and captured this unwanted low-level spirit with a regular Gulu Ball.

Holding the Gulu Ball, Lin Feng thought to himself: Very good, now the only entrance test left is the Winged-type Pokémon.

On tomorrow's journey, if we encounter them, we'll capture them; if not, we'll let it go and focus on completing the teleportation runes first.

It was before dawn.

The caravan is about to depart.

Lin Feng splashed water from his water bottle on his face to wake himself up, then looked out over the grassland.

The sun had just peeked over the mountains.

The bright yellow light slanted down, passing through the clouds and casting long shadows of the little elves playing on the grassland.

Beneath this vibrant landscape...

A nightmare was about to unfold.

"Lord Cullen, what is our objective this time?"

"Queen Bee of Listening Wind Town, remember, this time be discreet."
