When Beauty Meets Beasts

Chapter 606 This Should Be Just A Coincidence, Right?

Huanhuan got Little Brat to download the knowledge about sailing online. She copied it on paper and handed it to Bai Di, Shuang Yun, and Xue Ling to learn how to sail.

As Xue Ling flipped through the information in his hand, he said to Huanhuan, "Actually, there's no need for you to specially build a boat. After I transform into a condor, I can fly you wherever."

"But I don't want you to work too hard."

Huanhuan's words immediately swallowed Xue Ling's muttering.

His heart seemed to be filled with honey.

During this period of time, Huanhuan used the new forging knowledge she had learned to modify the ship, making it stronger and more solid.

When Mark saw the modified ship, he couldn't help but exclaim, "I didn't expect you to be so good at forging!"

Huanhuan smiled in embarrassment. "I just casually did it. I hope this ship will be fine when we get to sea."

"You can do it so well just by doing it casually. If you do it seriously, won't you be as powerful as Domitt?!"

Huanhuan was slightly stunned. "Who are you talking about?"

"It's Domitt! The legendary God of Forging!" Mark's face was filled with admiration. In his heart—no, in the hearts of all dwarves—the name Domitt represented supreme honor!

Huanhuan scratched her cheek. Her forging mentor was called Domitt. The God of Forging was also called Domitt. It had to be a coincidence, right?

After chatting for a while, Mark explained his intentions in embarrassment. "Actually, I came to look for you this time because I have something else to discuss with you."

"Name it."

"Well, we make a lot of artillery, but we don't know how to make gunpowder, so we want to buy the formula from you. The price is negotiable."

Huanhuan was not surprised. When she saw the dwarves mass-producing cannons, she guessed that they would definitely need to make a lot of gunpowder.

She had no intention of hiding it. With these dwarves' intelligence and rich experience, even if she refused to trade, they would definitely be able to develop the formula for gunpowder themselves in the future. It was just a matter of time.

"I can give you the formula as payment for helping me build the ship."

Mark was extremely surprised. "That's great! Huanhuan, you're such a good person!"

Huanhuan was labeled as a good person once more.

She wrote down the formula for gunpowder and handed it to Mark.

Mark looked troubled when he saw what was on the paper.

Huanhuan asked him what was wrong.

Embarrassed, Mark stammered, "I don't know the words on it…"

It was not that he could not read. On the contrary, he could read many words, but those words were unique to the dwarfs. The words Huanhuan wrote looked strange. He had never seen them before, so of course, he could not recognize them.

Huanhuan slapped her forehead. "I almost forgot about this. How about this? I'll do the talking and you write it. Is that okay?"

Mark quickly agreed.

After writing down the formula for gunpowder, Mark didn't want to stay a moment longer. He quickly ran to Patriarch Archie with the formula.

Over the next few days, the dwarves began to produce a lot of gunpowder.

After Huanhuan modified the ship, Bai Di, Shuang Yun, Xue Ling, and the others had roughly figured out the way to start the ship.

Now, everything was ready.

The night before they were about to set off for the sea, Swan Valley was suddenly besieged by monsters!

Not only the dwarfs, but the gnomes who had gotten close to the dwarfs because of the gold mine had also been attacked. Even Huanhuan's family, who was temporarily living in Swan Valley, could not avoid this disaster.

Countless monsters surged over from all directions. Their fangs and claws flickered in the moonlight, and their scarlet eyes were filled with greed and brutality.

The dwarfs quickly calmed down under Archie's lead. They brought out their cannons and aimed at the monsters.

As soon as the cannons were fired, a large number of monsters immediately fell!

From his perch, Archie directed the dwarfs to continue firing.

Elman led the gnomes to lie in ambush in the darkness. They specially targeted those lone monsters and quietly dragged them into the grass to get rid of them.

Bai Di, Shuang Yun, and Xue Ling rushed into the battlefield to help.

The white tiger released lightning, and wherever the Silvery Frost White Wolf passed, there was frost. The huge fiery red condor brushed past their heads, grabbed those monsters, and dropped them from a high place.

They fought at the front line. Lightning and flames shone together, and the cold air from the frost covered the entire battlefield.

This was the first time the dwarfs and gnomes had seen how beasts fought. They were surprised and in awe.

Their powerful combat strength was even better than the Goffins, who claimed to be the strongest combat race in the dawn continent.

With the cooperation of the dwarfs, gnomes, and beasts, the sudden siege of monsters was successfully resolved.

The dwarfs and gnomes began to clean up the battlefield. The two leaders, Archie and Elman, gathered to discuss the repair work after the battle. They were all very busy, and no one paid attention to the cause of the attack.

Huanhuan sat on the small hill and looked at the busy figures on the battlefield with a solemn expression.

Bai Di washed off the smell of blood and changed into clean clothes. He took out a blanket and put it on her. "What are you thinking about?" he asked casually.

"I'm wondering why so many monsters suddenly attacked Swan Valley."

"They say that monsters like to come out when there's a full moon. It happens to be a full moon tonight, so they came out to hurt people."

"There's a full moon every month, but there's never been a raid on such a large scale like tonight. This seems too abnormal." Huanhuan recalled the scene of the monsters attacking just now and muttered to herself, "From the looks of it, they were in a hurry. It was as if something in Swan Valley had attracted them."

Bai Di looked thoughtful. "There was something wrong with them. They wanted to rush into Swan Valley more than they wanted to hurt anyone."

The two of them looked at each other and could guess that they had the same speculation.

Could it be that someone had deliberately planned the attack?

Huanhuan immediately stood up. "Let's go to the valley and see if any strange people or things have appeared recently."

Bai Di went back with her.

They called Shuang Yun and Xue Ling to search together.

Shuang Yun's nose was very sensitive. He walked around Swan Valley and quickly dug out a black jar from the ground.

He opened the jar. It was filled with white scraps.

Huanhuan leaned closer and sniffed. She didn't smell anything strange, but her instincts told her it wasn't something good.

Little Brat said, "This is corpse fragrance quinoa, a very rare plant. After drying it and chopping it up, the fragrance it emits can attract a large number of demons."

Huanhuan frowned. "But I don't smell anything strange."

"It's a smell that only demons can detect. It's normal that you can't smell it."

Huanhuan looked at the corpse fragrance quinoa in the jar and wondered who had buried it in Swan Valley.
