330 The Calm Before the Storm
“When the time comes, the bracelet will be activated.”
Whitey said, “That’s all!”
“Come back.” Su Bai nodded and put Whitey back into his pocket. He was already making plans while his hands were still moving.
As for what the bracelet did, it was still unknown. Still, it was not a good thing.
Fortunately, Su Bai had been careful not to put it on.
The only problem was Gao Zhilong and the others, as well as Zhang Yan and the others who came in later, did not have any means to hide, so they all wore bracelets.
To prevent a direct confrontation later, Su Bai could not help but work harder. Using a large number of stored Crimson Cores to refine Crimson Thunder!
However, Su Bai made small balls and threw them into the cannon in the eyes of the spectators.
“This guy is crazy!”
“What is he doing at the Alchemy Festival?!”
“What he’s doing isn’t important. What’s important is who this guy is. It’s only been half an hour and he’s already made such progress. Even a Diamond-level Alchemist can’t do it!”
“Look, an examiner is coming over!”
…
The crowd was paying attention. An examiner and two dwarven guards approached Su Bai’s alchemy table.
Without a doubt, The appearance of a weapon of mass destruction on the stage could make anyone unable to remain calm.
“Su Bai, do you think a cannon has anything to do with the truth?” The head examiner frowned. He warned, “Although the theme does not prohibit certain alchemical products, you still have to act according to your ability.”
“Sir, there is a saying among humans.” Su Bai smiled. “Truth only exists within the shooting range of the cannon, so I think this cannon fits the theme very well.”
Hearing that, the head examiner’s face darkened.
Obviously, there was no such old saying among the dwarves.
To dispel the head examiner’s worries, Su Bai took out a Crimson Thunder from the cannon and knocked it hard on the outside of the cannon. He explained, “Please rest assured, sir. I cannot refine a cannon here. There is only a pile of ordinary materials inside.”
If Gao Zhilong heard that, he would probably roll his eyes on the spot. If he had not seen the Crimson Thunder created by Su Bai, he would have believed this nonsense.
But the head examiner believed Su Bai. He took a rough look inside and found that it was indeed as Su Bai had said.
The cannon was an empty shell. There were no internal parts inside. It was just a ball.
The head examiner led the dwarven guards away.
Su Bai poured his energy into the Crimson Thunder. When a Crimson Thunder was as powerful as a full-strength strike from a Gold-level Beast, it was a success.
Su Bai’s energy consumption was shocking. Even if he borrowed the energy of Beasts such as the Bearen, the efficiency would not be enough.
Hence, Su Bai would quietly take out a Gold-grade Beast-core from the Fourth Heaven every once in a while and stuff it into his mouth to absorb energy.
To prevent others from discovering that he had to suppress them, he needed Dream Wing to help out a little. This feeling he had was like secretly snacking in class during school.
Soon, two hours passed and the entire square was in full swing. The various competitors were refining in confusion and making choices in confusion.
It was no exaggeration to say that this Alchemy Festival was the most difficult in history.
However, Su Bai saw a group of dwarves walking around from the corner of his eye at that moment.
“Whitey, go and see what’s going on.”
“Yes, master!”
Whitey made a move again and returned in less than ten minutes.
“There are many, many old men mobilizing the other dwarves!”
…
Su Bai smiled bitterly.
What was supposed to come was finally coming. To prepare, he had made no less than a hundred Crimson Thunder balls, waiting for their arrival.
The calm before the storm was about to end!
Just in case, Whitey accepted the order again and went to find Lu Le and the others to inform them what will happen soon.
On the other hand, Lu Le and the others were lying on their chairs in boredom, yawning continuously. They were just ordinary Beastmasters, having nothing to do with alchemy.
Naturally, they could not understand the content of the live broadcast at all, let alone read it.
“How boring. Why don’t we find a restaurant to eat at? It’ll take another four hours. By then, I’ll have starved to death.” Lu Le smiled bitterly.
“That works too.” Zhang Yan nodded.
Zhang Yan was not feeling any better than the others. He could not understand the mysteries of alchemy at all.
However, just as they all got up and were about to go to other areas to find a restaurant, Whitey happened to bump into them.
Due to its invisible state, they could not see Whitey at all. Yet, it did not affect Whitey to speak.
Whitey jumped onto Lu Le’s shoulder and said, “Lu Le! Lu Le! Lu Le!”
“Who is it?” Lu Le was shocked and turned around to look around. “Who called me!”
Bing Qingqing said, “No one called you. Are you hearing things?”
“Perhaps.” Lu Le shrugged, holding a sightseeing guide in his hand. Just as he was about to choose a restaurant, the voice sounded again.
“Master told me to tell you to pay attention to the dwarves, especially those Beastmasters. You must hide!”
“Huh?” Lu Le froze on the spot.
The voice was not loud. If one did not listen carefully, one would not understand it.
Whitey repeated, “Master told me to tell you to pay attention to the dwarves, especially those Beastmasters. You must hide!”
This time, Lu Le heard it clearly.
As a Beastmaster, if he still could not realize that this was not an auditory hallucination, he would not be able to survive in Great Wilderness City anymore.
“Who is your master? And where are you? If you don’t show yourself, I have no reason to believe you!” Lu Le asked seriously.
“My master is Su Bai. I can’t show myself.”
“Captain!”
“That’s right. Master told me to tell you to pay attention to the dwarves’ movements and hide!”
“I understand.”
Lu Le stopped in his tracks. The people around him looked at him strangely.
“What’s going on? Weren’t you complaining about being hungry just now? Why aren’t you leaving?”
“That’s right. Could it be that you’ve been traumatized by the special food of the dwarves?”
“Hahahaha, just thinking about it makes me laugh.”
…
Lu Le did not explain much to everyone’s questions. Instead, he pulled them to an empty corner.
“What’s going on? What kind of restaurant is there here?”
“What happened?” Zhang Yan was the first to notice Lu Le’s abnormality. He asked, “From the beginning, you acted very strangely.”
“Listen to me.”
Lu Le looked serious as he told them what Whitey informed him.
Everyone instantly stopped smiling.
Su Bai was telling them to be on guard against the dwarves and even to hide themselves!
