Chapter 9: We Are Nature's Porters
The raging fire lit up the otherwise gloomy cavern. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
This cave has always been in a dim world, almost isolated from the outside world.
I cast a [Flame Position] on Akai before activating [Flame Burst] to block the damage caused by the flames, so Akai stood in a sea of fire just like me.
Burn all the surrounding area, but my purpose is not to kill the enemy, but just for lighting, the few torches and the divergent [magic energy light source] that were hastily inserted into the wall before are completely insufficient, this almost filled with monsters The demon cave seems to have a certain scale at present. That's all I have to do.
It turned out that I had made the right choice, and when our vision suddenly lit up, the dense number of monsters, including the monsters that had just surrounded us, was almost in the triple digits at a glance.
The blazing flames held back the monster army, but at the same time, it also exposed Akai and I to the monsters.
But it doesn't matter, anyway, dark places have always been the territory of monsters, and their night vision ability is not considered at all, anyway, it's better than us humans.
Taking advantage of the gap, we looked around, and the types of monsters were really diverse.
"Hey, is this place a mine, I don't think it's a monster's lair." Akai looked at such a number of monsters, and his scalp was a little numb. With that, an arrow killed a cave spider that tried to crawl over its head to attack.
I kept emitting a [Magical Light Source] around me, and before the flames burning on the ground were gone, I tried to light up the place.
Suddenly, I felt an icy chill appear in my back like a pinprick in my back.
There were flames all around, but the cold sweat on my head came out.
"Hey, isn't itγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" Akai just turned his head and saw a terrifying scene.
The murderous aura flashed in the green eyes, and the transparent body slowly floated in the air, unconsciously approaching our side under the shroud of flames.
That's a ghost!
He wears a gray robe with a crown-like ornament.
I couldn't help but turn my head, and what caught my eye was a sharp claw that exuded a cold glow.
The white light flashed, and the perennial battle made me subconsciously use [Flicker], and the ghost's sneak attack hit the air, but the next moment reversed direction.
Roarγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
With a low roar, the ghost floated swiftly towards Akai with teeth and claws.
"Don't come here, bastard!" Well, our brave teenager is a little afraid of ghosts.
Cutting out the iron sword that had not been used for a long time, Akai swung it wildly, but the effect was also remarkable, and the ghost did not dare to approach for a while.
"Doesn't it seem to be immune to physical attacks?" I watched the ghost's movements, and a fireball gathered in my hand.
The ghost, which can't be attacked on either side for a while, has hands and feet (does it have feet?). Helpless, just floating in the middle of us.
"Go!" With a clear drink, the fireball that had been charging for a long time crossed a graceful arc and struck the ghost's body accurately.
Green smoke rose up, and the ghost was reduced to pieces with a low roar.
I wiped the cold sweat on my head that didn't exist. "The old man said that ghosts are afraid of flames and light, and they will not deceive me."
This is the first time I've seen a ghost, and although it's a long, square-faced ghost, it's a happy one, but it's still a ghost.
Akai stopped the iron sword he was wielding in his hand and let out a sigh of relief.
At this time, the flames burning on the ground gradually extinguished, and the surrounding monsters could no longer hold back, and rushed up with a roar.

"Whew, whew, whewγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
"Ha, ha, γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
In the huge and otherwise silent cavern, the sound of panting sounded one after another, bringing sporadic vitality to this dead and silent place.
For half an hour, the high-intensity fighting left Akai and I physically and mentally exhausted.
It's one of the few fierce battles I've used up my mana, and in the later stages, I'm completely relying on positioning and kites to grind those monsters to death.
Akai is in a better situation than me, after all, this time we have prepared thousands of arrows in order to explore this world, and we don't have to worry about the embarrassment of running out of arrows.
The overwhelming number of monsters almost surrounded us, but it also gave me a chance to end the pot, and all kinds of range spells were released without money, and large swaths of monsters were reduced to pieces while my mana continued to drop at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Akai re-clicked through some of the more troublesome monsters, such as the top of my head that I couldn't take care of, the territory of the cave spiders, and the fish that slipped through the net under my area magic.
Although it was very tiring, the results were gratifying, and we successfully cleaned up the monsters in this cave.
"Okay, I'm so tired, I don't want to move." As if I had been asked by a sports coach to run a kilometer, I sat on the ground like a dead dog. Of course, Akai wasn't much better than me.
Zombies, skeletons, goblins, ghosts, spiders, γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» be on the lookout for creepers.
However, since these have passed, don't think about it anymore, people still have to move forward (money?). Look.
Huge amount of ore!
A gathering place of wealth!
I stood up and unleashed the [Healing Technique] with a little of the recovered mana, quickly restoring my strength and that of Akai.
"Yo Xi, let's dig!" Akai shook his still sore arm and pulled out an iron pickaxe.
"When you go out or something, think about it for a while, how can you go to Baoshan and return empty-handed." With that, I found a random piece of coal mine and waved the iron pickaxe in my hand.
"Xia, there's still a box here!" Just as I was happily digging, Akai's voice came from there and drew me in.
Q: What's the most interesting thing in this world?
A: Of course, it's unpacking!
"I'll see, I'll see!" I walked over to Akai and looked at the wooden box that lay quietly under a stone pillar.
With my hands pressed on the wooden box, I looked at Akai, who nodded.
"Yo Si! Let's see what's inside. β
