Without the drag of a rookie hunter like Regg, and with the map of this route in hand, Red Star quickly returned to the volcanic cave located in the territory of the male fire dragon after returning to the village to rest. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The so-called volcanic cave refers to the fact that the original ordinary cave becomes hot inside under the influence of the flowing magma at the bottom of the volcano, and the holes that can be seen everywhere on the ground may erupt magma fountains at any time, and even the ground is not stable, and people will collapse when they walk up.

Some of these caves are even as deep as the bottom of the volcano, and some hunters have even witnessed the magnificent sight of magma falling down like a waterfall in the volcanic caves.

And after entering the volcanic cavern, Red Star no longer has to face the threat of the male fire dragon in this area, as the overlord of the sky, it is impossible for it to drill into it if it only likes high places.

Grunt!

"It's so hot......"

Holding the kettle and pouring a large mouthful of water, Hongxing wiped the sweat that flowed non-stop, even if there was a cold drink in his body to create coolness, but the environment in the volcanic cave still seemed too bad for him, he was sweating all the time, and if it went on, the replenishment of water became a big problem.

Water in volcanic areas is just as precious as water in desert areas.

Laugh at~~~~

A small hole in the ground that he had just walked around suddenly erupted from a fountain of magma that was half gaseous and half liquid, and Red Star couldn't help but congratulate himself on his caution.

"You have to be careful when walking here, not only to watch out for possible monsters, but also to watch out for the ground!"

Red Star spoke in a small voice, reminding himself not to let his guard down.

Even in such a harsh volcanic environment, there are monsters that have adapted to the environment, not to mention the large boss-level monsters Red Speed Dragon King and Male Fire Dragon, small ordinary monsters include Red Speed Dragon groups that live near volcanoes, small sickle crabs that live next to volcanic lakes or rivers, snake dragons that live in volcanic caves, and lava beasts that live in volcanic magma.

These monsters who live in a harsh environment have not only evolved a lot of survivability and combat ability because of the harsh environment, but their temperament is definitely not gentle!

There are dangers everywhere, so to speak!

The opposite of danger is the benefit, just like the volcanic cave where the red star is located, because of the special cave topography and the winding passages in the cave, most of the ore veins will be exposed when passing through this cave, so that people can easily see it with the naked eye.

That's why Red Star is back here at all costs.

"There it is!"

Soon, Red Star spotted a small piece of fruit on the surface of the rock layer, he looked around, and after making sure that there was no danger, he hurriedly went over and took out the iron pickaxe and knocked wildly.

Bite!

Iron Ore

Bite!

Iron Ore

Bite!

Disc Stone

Bite!

Disc Stone

Red Star stopped the iron pickaxe in his hand, pressed his face to the mined vein, and carefully identified it, with a disappointed expression on his face.

"It is a mixed vein of iron ore and disc stone veins entangled."

It is only in volcanic areas that two or more veins are often seen intertwined mixed veins, which fully illustrates the abundance of ore resources in volcanic areas.

Red Star was a quick learner, and with the knowledge from books and practical experience, he was now a qualified miner, and by observation, he could easily identify the type of vein.

He stood up, shook his head, took out the map and marked it, then packed up his things and continued to explore the depths of the cavern.

Bite!

Crystallization of the Earth

"Not here."

Bite!

"Linghe Stone"

"Has even Lingheite, which is an associated ore of delirium, formed a vein? Oh, and there's "Egret Stone"! ”

"Unfortunately, it's not them."

Bite!

Red Lotus Stone

"It's already very deep, and even the red lotus stone vein has appeared."

"But it's not what I'm looking for......"

Bite!

"Huilong Stone"

"There are few precious pyroxonites outside, and there are only three veins here...... Hehe! ”

In the days that followed, Red Star had been exploring the volcanic cavern, and from time to time, he needed to go outside to replenish drinking water, and he also found many ore veins, and countless rare ores, but he never found the "Rusty Pimple" or "Talisman" he was looking for.

In the game, the volcano could be mined with a random pickaxe, but in the real world, he couldn't even see the shadow of these things.

"Why can't I find it?"

"Wasn't my idea wrong from the beginning?"

"Is everything my delusion?"

Hope was slowly exhausted on the road of never-ending efforts, and the despair of the past came back again, and in the face of the mighty magma river, Red Star once had the idea of jumping off like this.

He endured it.

Once......

Eru the Cat, whose name is "Hope", who was supposed to be protected by him, died at the feet of the female fire dragon in order to protect him - he felt sad, he lamented that he was still not strong enough to protect others, and like a child, he needed the protection of others;

Once......

Hearing the bad news that Instructor Rafal and his entire pioneer team had been wiped out under the minions of the steel dragon—he felt pain, he pained the death of the instructor, and he pained even more for the road he faced that had seen the end of sight, and on this road he had no possibility of avenging his instructor;

Once......

When he saw the silver moon that could fight the steel dragon without retreating, when he met the dragon clan four-man hunter team who came to fight off the steel dragon, when he heard the "awakening" that the hero said, when he saw the hero and the rock who were as fragile as glass and died easily in the tornado of the steel dragon - he didn't want to feel anything anymore;

But he didn't want to feel anything, and after learning the truth from the mouth of the Great Elder, he still felt a deep despair pressing down on his heart.

Unexpectedly, he endured these encounters one by one.

Even he himself didn't understand why he could endure this, perhaps, he was born with a heart that was not shocked? Perhaps, his heart does not want to give up easily? Perhaps, he just didn't want to be like a dead tree, and his heart was like a dead heart.

"I want to die, I want to live, it turns out that I am just a simple and contradictory mortal."

Red Star suddenly woke up, the truth is actually like this, the so-called "death" does not refer to "death" in the narrow sense, but also has the meaning of "seeking excitement", just like [skydiving] and [walking a tightrope on a cliff].

"Because I want to die, I don't want to live an ordinary ordinary life, but become a hunter."

"Because I want to live, I am willing to endure loneliness and spend six years polishing myself little by little."

"Because I want to die, I arbitrarily take the task of repelling the big monster bird as the task of crusading against the big monster bird."

"Because I want to live, I try my best to kill the big monster bird."

"Because I want to die, I skip the level and take on the task of defeating the female fire dragon."

"Because I wanted to live, I broke out under the stimulus of the death of my helper, Ailu, and slashed the female fire dragon under the sword."

"Because I want to die, that's why I will challenge the steel dragon irrationally."

"Because I want to live, I tried everything to struggle in the face of the steel dragon."

"Because I wanted to die, I went from trip to explore the volcanic caverns again and again, ignoring the dangers."

"Because I want to live, I stand in front of this magma river, and I have despair countless times, but I will never jump down."

Red Star suddenly wanted to laugh.

"Hehe, hehe!"

He laughed at the thought.

"I'm mortal...... I'm mortal...... I'm just a mortal! ”

He finally saw himself.

He's a traverser, but he's just a mortal after all.

"So ......"

Red Star suddenly remembered how he had behaved in the face of the charging Boar King during the courage test at the hands of the instructor.

"That's not ...... brave"

"It's just that I want to live!"

"All along, I didn't have courage...... Ha ha...... Hahahaha! ”

"Instructor, if you hear it, you'll be disappointed......"

"However, there is no turning back."

"Instructor, if you're looking at me, please take a good look - look at when I, this mortal who wants to die and live, your scum disciple, will die."
