The Ordinary Me is Worshipped as a Deity by the Extraordinary Them - Chapter 175.2

They really weren’t decent beings, these creatures.

The sea breeze carried human voices, and the aquatic monster beasts floating on the water surface eventually reported these inexplicably appearing human existences to Leia, who humans had long known would definitely receive this news.

Su Li, who woke up early and once again found himself surrounded by monster beasts, had completely given up on speaking.

He felt that after entering monster beast society, battle had inexplicably become a daily routine.

Looking around, the entire beach was covered with aquatic monster beasts, each with a randomly grotesque appearance.

Gabriel even gasped at this bizarre sight, then said, “That’s genuinely ugly.”

“Even if they’re ugly, we need to leave a few intact corpses. The Dark Church’s library happens to record these things that once only appeared in legends, and they’re all poisonous. As long as I extract and compress the toxins contained in their corpses, I might even be able to create something that could poison Bartholomew.”

The unicorn was known to have the strongest physical body, and Lan Zhe wanted his future development direction to be creating drugs that could directly poison that unicorn.

Therefore, these monster beasts on the beach that seemed endless weren’t some terrifying and boundless enemies, but materials that could be grasped in hand with effort.

Of course, before obtaining these materials, he needed to let the people around him work a little bit harder…

Lan Zhe directly pulled Su Li to sit cross-legged beside him, and casually said to the other two people and two monster beasts: “I’ll leave the upcoming battle to you all. I plan to make some energy potions. I had inspiration before, and now this slightly urgent scenario is most suitable for accelerating brain operation speed to turn the ideas in my mind into reality…”

Everyone: ???

Could what you’re saying even be human words?

This scene of sitting in the middle being protected while letting others do the work…

Who would honestly accept this?

Egbert indicated: He would.

Because Su Li was also in the middle.

Who knew if there would be aquatic monster beasts skilled at moving through sand and mud that would suddenly drill out from the ground.

Rather than that, it was better to let Lan Zhe serve as a living target.

Egbert, who had unknowingly learned the skill of tricking teammates, began fighting even more vigorously.

Roy and the unfortunate Gabriel looked at each other, and could only choose to form a triangular protective formation with Egbert.

And the Raven, as a winged monster beast, undoubtedly became an opponent that could make the aquatic monster beasts gnash their teeth in hatred.

He only needed to mindlessly output while flying in the air, and no matter how angry and dissatisfied the monster beasts below were, they couldn’t harm him in the slightest.

This scene of clear division of labor and protection made Su Li have no choice but to focus on the energy potion cooking in the pot with Lan Zhe.

Su Li, seeing a potion-making scene for the first time in his life, only felt that this differed from the witch cooking soup in fairy tales before his transmigration only in that the old woman had become a young handsome man.

The contents in the pot were equally bizarre and terrifying.

Purple and blue intermingled colors, plus steam constantly rising into the air in large quantities, made Su Li suddenly understand the principle of energy potions.

“Using large amounts of nutritional recovery herbs, stacking drugs that slightly stimulate elemental cultivation pathways, supplemented with a shocking taste as strange as high-concentration menthol, the final product could also be considered an energy potion.”

Lan Zhe stirred the unknown substances in the pot with a spoon while saying: “Just as you said, after these drugs are harmonized by elements, they can finally create the so-called ‘energy potion.'”

“I’ve adjusted this pot’s potion concentration to be higher than I previously envisioned. The expected effect is that users only need to drink it to forcibly enhance their concentration for eight hours, and this potion also has significant effects on elemental recovery.”

“Su Li even knows things related to potions… Sure enough, the reason this damned world prevents you from becoming an all-rounder other than a sage is because it fears you.”

Lan Zhe began pouring the bizarre potion into glass bottles.

After ensuring each portion could achieve the effect he wanted, he began estimating the other two people and two monster beasts’ focus on battle, ready at any moment to rush up and directly pour a bottle of potion down someone’s throat once they showed signs of exhaustion.

The first to be unlucky was Egbert, who was overly vigorous and hoped to show a brave and forward-charging attitude in front of Su Li.

At that instant, even without wearing elemental visualization glasses, Su Li seemed to see special effects shooting skyward from Egbert’s body.

It definitely wasn’t because Egbert’s hair all stood up at that moment.

Roy, fearing he would be the next victim, restrained his strength and slowed down his monster-slaying speed considerably, then immediately received loving help from Lan Zhe, who thought his elemental consumption was excessive.

Gabriel’s response to this was: “Don’t underestimate a transformed monster beast’s battlefield endurance!”

“Mere aquatic natural monster beasts with lifespans so short they don’t even reach a hundred years, with intelligence probably no different from paramecia, how could I possibly fear these things…”

Lan Zhe spared him and instead targeted the Raven.

Fortunately, Lan Zhe couldn’t fly; unfortunately, Lan Zhe couldn’t fly!

The Raven always had to land sometime, though he chose to return to the ground only after the battle ended.

Lan Zhe immediately poured a large bottle of energy potion down his throat, and while the Raven couldn’t even speak, the Dark Holy Son said with conviction, “These natural monster beasts dragged out as cannon fodder for probing aren’t worth mentioning. What needs attention is the stronger opponents who will inevitably come next. If we lack strength and can’t gain advantage against them, or even worse, can’t protect Su Li, that would be a great sin.”

The Raven ultimately couldn’t escape his fate. The crow, who should have been tired due to nearly depleted strength and able to rest, tragically received an energy refill.

He, who usually only ate some grains, even felt he saw the Crystal Winged Dragon that had died over a year ago because of that potion’s taste.

Lan Zhe then wrote down everyone’s reactions, grateful for the notebook Egbert had given him because he wasn’t by Su Li’s side but wanted to record what Su Li had said.

Didn’t this have another use?

After recording the potion reactions, Lan Zhe turned his attention to those slain natural monster beasts.

Compared to the transformed monster beasts commonly seen everywhere in Beast Tribe territory, not a single one of the aquatic monster beasts dead on this beach belonged to transformed monster beasts.

Gabriel’s individual strength and combat habits far exceeded these natural monster beasts who only knew mindless attacks.

This could also explain why, despite aquatic monster beasts having large numbers, Leia was still skilled at hiding.

Quantity without quality – the Beast Tribe often said to have the most numbers was probably calculated based on transformed monster beast numbers.

Suddenly, Lan Zhe stopped recording.

The others also directed their gazes in one direction.

Su Li, who reacted half a beat slower, looked over and discovered that a humanoid monster beast not wearing elemental transformation clothing had appeared on the field covered with monster beast corpses.

“Lord Leia requests your presence.” That monster beast’s attitude was more than respectful, and when gazing at Su Li, there was also inexplicable fervor.

The others felt uncomfortable being stared at with such eyes and all actively stood in front of Su Li.

“Withdraw your disgusting gaze, and I might barely give you a chance to explain what that mermaid wants to do.” Egbert pointed the sharp tip of his spear at that humanoid monster beast.

As long as he made one inappropriate move, a new battle would immediately erupt.

That aquatic monster beast restrained his fervent gaze, then lowered his head, pretending to be humble. “Lord Leia requests your presence, hoping to discuss together how to design the siege and killing of the dragon Elvi Bessemer.”

“As long as Lord Su Li is here, that dragon will definitely come to this place. Lord Leia’s meaning is also that rather than constantly being pursued by a mad dragon, it’s better to directly kill it to prevent endless trouble.”

“Is that so?” Egbert’s eyes became increasingly dangerous. The words “Lord Su Li” hit his reflexes.

The same title was of course fine, but since these monster beasts could use “Lord” to address Su Li, it proved that this monster beast with fervent eyes probably already knew Su Li’s value.

What integrity did aquatic monster beasts have? There were plenty of males who could bear offspring.

To protect Su Li’s physical and mental safety, Egbert would never allow Su Li to actually be taken into the ocean.

Therefore he said, “Lord Su Li didn’t come here to discuss besieging Elvi. Go back and tell that mermaid that we came here only to complete part of a transaction. As for what kind of attacks and damage you can inflict on the dragon, that depends on yourselves.”

“As for anything else? Stop pretending here!” Egbert shouted sternly.

“Isn’t the death of these hundreds of natural monster beasts enough to tell you our strength?”

“If you still think it’s insufficient, then I don’t mind telling you that we’ve previously experienced battle with Elvi. And the result is…”

Egbert said expressionlessly, “We came to this place.”

Regardless of what the opponent thought, just the fact that they could escape from Elvi’s hands completely unharmed was not to be underestimated.

And this monster beast also understood why it was Egbert who spoke up.

This man probably felt that he had no qualifications to speak with Su Li at all…

The monster beast’s eyes flashed, and after looking at Su Li with deep, dark pupils, he said, “I understand. I will report truthfully to Lord Leia.”

“You’d better do as you say.” Roy smiled cheerfully, playing the good cop, but the next second his face turned as if he’d targeted an enemy, his gaze sharp. “As for whether Leia comes or not, we don’t care at all.”

“I’d also like to see whether you should go seek help from the Winged Tribe when Elvi leads an army to attack, or simply suffer dragon slaughter—”

“After all, the Water King Swordfish perished together with the Black Dragon Victoria.” Roy was skilled at sarcasm. “Unlike your mermaid ruler, when one Water King dies, there are countless others to replace them.”

“In Elvi Bessemer’s eyes, Victoria is irreplaceable. The dragon will eventually take revenge on you all. I look forward to seeing your ruler, who was too arrogant to even come personally, finally being killed by the dragon.”

The monster beast’s face instantly became extremely ugly.

“Do you know what you’re saying? Human!”

“Since you’re just humans, don’t presume to use your ignorance to evaluate Lord Leia. What does Elvi Bessemer amount to? On this ocean, no one can defeat Lord Leia. He is the uncrowned king of this sea.”

“Saying we invited you was only giving face to Lord Su Li. In this ocean domain, do you think you can come and go as you please?”

The monster beast’s elemental power greatly increased, full of fighting spirit, but he wasn’t facing everyone who was exhausted after a battle. Instead, he faced everyone who had drunk energy potions and had unlimited vitality, with elemental power also rapidly recovered to full while their elemental cultivation pathways were temporarily widened.

This was a battle that the monster beast initially thought was merely punishing arrogant weaklings, but when they really started fighting, he suddenly discovered that the arrogant one was himself.

The humans cooperated seamlessly. Ice elements, when facing the ocean, had incomparable enhancement effects just like aquatic monster beasts with water elements.

And under freezing ice, the suppressive power that aquatic life would suffer far exceeded imagination.

When ice crystals rapidly formed on the monster beast’s facial features, he finally showed panic.

Lan Zhe held two bottles of energy potion, listening to the crisp sound of glass colliding, while a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, his voice level. “Isn’t that right?”

“If you can stay away from Elvi, can’t you stay away from this ocean? Who gave you that wrong perception? If you can still return alive, I really hope you can fight with the other party. That would definitely be much more interesting than what we’re doing now.”

Since the Dark Holy Son was the Dark Holy Son, he was someone who had sat in that position after experiencing darkness beyond ordinary people’s imagination.

Intimidation, threats, deterrence, suppression, staring… everything could become something the aquatic monster beast feared.

The Raven circling high in the sky again, occasionally casting shadows across the sea surface, also became an omnipresent fear.

That was the terror almost carved into aquatic monster beasts’ bones and blood after repeated battles with the Winged Tribe.

And Su Li, standing at the center of everyone, merely stood there. His appearance was made even more brilliant by the ocean sunlight, and the smile at the corner of his mouth was as warm as summer seawater.

But the meaning hidden beneath the warmth was like the eternally unmelting ice at the ocean floor, indestructible.

Mental trembling, body beyond control – when finally released from confinement by warm light elements, that monster beast had already uncontrollably collapsed to the ground.

Egbert looked down at him condescendingly and said coldly, “I’ll only say this one last time. We came here only to complete our transaction with Leia.”

A mermaid who could hate a dragon stronger than himself to that extent couldn’t possibly consider humans bound like dumplings as existences needing to be spared.

No human cared about his thoughts. Egbert even looked forward to fighting Leia.

When using light elements to create photothermal reactions within his body, Egbert very much hoped for a water element monster beast to appear.

Not for cooling down, but trying to see the dismayed changes of those aquatic monster beasts who thought they could control others’ blood with water elements, thus controlling others’ actions.

After the photothermal reaction appeared inside his body, Egbert vaguely understood why Leia would be restrained by Bartholomew.

The photothermal reaction originated from light elements but wasn’t a direct effect of light elements. This was a derivative usage. When blood in the body was manipulated by aquatic monster beasts skilled in water control, the extremely high temperature could instantly make what flowed through the body no longer blood, but pure light elements.

Rather than saying Bartholomew’s physical body was boundlessly strong, it was better to say that unicorn’s body – skin, muscles, bones, cells – could all be equated with light elements.

However, this strengthening direction obviously wasn’t something ordinary light elementalists could withstand. Without Lan Zhe, Egbert would probably die on the spot.

But he not only had Lan Zhe providing potion treatment, but also Su Li providing mental healing, and even Roy could use ice elements to cool his body when photothermal reactions rapidly occurred within him, preventing him from being burned stupid.

Looking at it this way, rather than saying Leia was an existence of the same level as Elvi, it was better to say the mermaid ruler was an experience package that might die if he couldn’t win, but if he could defeat him, would make Egbert equivalent to Bartholomew.

The aquatic monster beast felt Egbert’s abnormal desire. All he could do was escape back into the seawater cold enough to freeze one’s entire body stiff after being spared by the humans, and as the humans wished, report everything that had happened here to Leia again.

After that, no one disturbed the beach for a short time. Lan Zhe began extracting the toxins contained within those natural monster beasts’ bodies, while Egbert pulled Roy along to experiment with light elements’ derivative photothermal strengthening effects on the body.

The Raven perhaps felt this atmosphere of everyone growing stronger was too intense, so he also began experimenting with the changeable properties of dark elements.

The test subject was Gabriel.

The unfortunate gray wolf was tormented from time to time until he was dizzy and unable to see.

When he finally resolved the dark elements that had blinded his senses and could see his surroundings clearly, he discovered that large amounts of dark elements capable of dealing fatal damage, along with the humanoid Raven holding a dagger, were all close at hand.
