Warriors who have reached the Tinder level must join the hunting team, which has become an unwritten rule in Firefox Village.

The higher the ability, the more resources you enjoy, and naturally the more obligations you have to take on for the village, so the Tinder-level warriors must join the hunting team and take on the responsibility of hunting for food in peacetime and charging ahead in wartime.

It's just that Lin Ze is a little different, he is the hero of the competition, thanks to his Firefox Village, he can keep the fire source stone vein, and he is a genius who broke through to the fire ring level at the age of 20, and now the importance of Firefox Village is even faintly more than Lin Yingning.

In this world where the living environment is harsh and strength is supreme, it is undoubtedly a very exciting and ecstatic thing for a 20-year-old Fire Ring level warrior to appear in a small village, as long as such a character can grow smoothly, he will definitely lead the village to grow rapidly in the future.

Therefore, the attitude of the high-level leaders of Firefox Village towards Lin Ze couldn't help but become cautious, such as joining the war hunting team, which was almost a rule, and they had to ask him about his meaning before making a decision.

Hearing Lin Yingning's inquiry, Lin Ze suddenly groaned.

He didn't want to be special, but if he joined the war hunting team, he would inevitably be affected by many things, slowing down his cultivation speed.

I don't know if I saw Lin Ze's concerns, Lin Yingning pondered and said, "Cousin, I have discussed with the elders, if you join the battle hunting team, you will directly serve as the deputy captain and be responsible for sitting in the new fire source stone vein, so that you will not be delayed too much cultivation time." ”

As soon as the warriors in the village were promoted to the Fire Ring level, they were immediately promoted to the vice captain of the war hunting team, which was also one of the unwritten rules of Firefox Village.

As for letting Lin Ze be in charge of guarding the ore vein, it was an arrangement that Lin Yingning and the elders came up with after careful consideration.

Lin Ze is a genius with high hopes in Firefox Village, and he should spend more energy on cultivation, striving to quickly improve his strength, so that he can be busy hunting like other members of the hunting team, there is no doubt that it is a waste, but if he doesn't do anything, he will teach the truth and make the other warriors dissatisfied, so after thinking about it, they finally decided to send Lin Ze to sit in charge of the fire source stone vein.

In order to prevent the attack of the fierce beast and the chaos of the Fire Bear Village, the ore vein must send a fire ring-level warrior to sit in charge, Lin Ze's strength is just right, and the specific defensive affairs are in charge of other people, he only needs to coordinate in the center, the affairs are easy and simple, and will not delay cultivation, killing two birds with one stone.

After Lin Yingning explained the joints in detail, Lin Ze happily agreed.

The defense of the ore vein was established early, and when the ore vein was discovered, the Firefox Village was ready for mining and defense, but the Fire Bear Village intervened halfway, so it had to be interrupted, and now the ore vein is returned to its original owner, and it is much easier to restore it again.

Lin Ze went to the mining area on the same day.

The so-called mining area is actually a group of wooden houses enclosed by a wooden fence, where the villagers who open the mine and the soldiers in charge of guarding live, and then inside is the mine cave leading to the underground.

Under the faint moonlight, the fire source stone in the basket emitted a hazy red shimmer.

After agreeing to be in charge of guarding the mining area, Lin Ze also received a promise from Lin Yingning and the elders that in the future, he could receive a cultivation subsidy of 300 fire source stones every month.

Although he has an outstanding cultivation talent and is the hope of Firefox Village, it is impossible for the village to invest all its resources in him, and 300 Fire Source Stones is already a lot of money.

Lin Ze didn't bargain either, with his current cultivation speed, 300 Fire Source Stones per month was about the same, after all, it still took time to adapt to the extremely growing Spirit Yuan and exercise his soul energy.

Besides, he didn't want to fish with all his might, and occupying all the resources of Firefox Village could certainly quickly improve the Spirit Yuan in a short period of time, but it might not be a good thing in the long run.

Let Firefox Village develop and grow, and having a village behind it can save a lot of unnecessary trouble.

After inspecting the mining area, Lin Ze instructed the others not to disturb him easily, and then returned to his residence to retreat and cultivate.

In order to save time, he simply moved the residence in the village to the mining area, and decided to live here in the future, which surprised and admired Lin Yingning and the elders who knew about it.

And so the time passed.

With the assistance of sufficient fire source stones, Lin Ze's cultivation progress was rapid in one day, but in just one month, the fire ring had ignited more than one-third.

This is still the premise that he has divided some of his energy to exercise his soul energy, even so, this kind of cultivation speed is still terrifying, if he lets the aborigines of this world know, he will definitely be so frightened that he can't speak.

And with the increase in the area of the fire ring ignited, the scale of the fire element's affinity and flame power has also increased, in addition, the spirit element has also increased a lot, Lin Ze feels that the spirit element skill has faint signs of breakthrough, and it is estimated that if the fire ring is ignited more, the spirit element should be able to be promoted to Lv4.

This made him quite happy.

Since the cultivation of the fire power system, although the strength has been improved in all aspects, the growth rate is not satisfactory, and the increase in the strength of a spirit element skill and flame power scale has greatly improved the strength, barely allowing him to stand firmly in the middle level of the hero level, if the spirit level can be promoted, the improvement of strength is self-evident.

However, just when Lin Ze received the second month's cultivation subsidy and was about to devote himself to a new round of cultivation, the deputy steward of the mining area hurriedly found him.

Lin Ze is the chief steward of the mining area, and the deputy steward is a tinder-level seventh-order warrior named Shi Wenjie, who looks white and fat, looking like a businessman more than a warrior, when he found Lin Ze, his expression was frightened, and his sweaty face looked very funny.

"Steward Lin, it's a big deal!"

Hearing this, Lin Ze couldn't help but be stunned, inexplicably a little funny in his heart, and asked, "Speak slowly, what's wrong?"

Shi Wenjie wiped his sweat and said urgently: "There is a red obsidian leopard under the mine!"

Obsidian leopard?

Lin Ze pondered for a few seconds, vaguely remembering that this seemed to be a kind of fierce beast, and it seemed that his strength was not weak.

"Didn't the garrison team in the mine deal with it?"

"Go, go. Shi Wenjie swallowed his saliva, with a wry smile on his face, "However, the number of red obsidian leopards is unusual, and eight Tinder-level warriors went down to check, but they were quickly beaten back, and one died." ”

Lin Ze raised his eyebrows, thought about it, and left the wooden house directly and walked outside.

"Let's go, let's talk as we go. ”

The two rushed all the way to the mine, and on the way, Lin Ze asked Shi Wenjie about the red obsidian leopard, and under the latter's explanation, he finally had a general understanding of the red obsidian leopard.

The red obsidian leopard is a very common fierce beast in the igneous source stone vein, they are formed by the mutation of the igneous source stone, and feed on the igneous source stone, which can be said to be similar to the existence of the associated mine, but where the igneous stone vein is located, they are usually indispensable, so it is very common to find the obsidian leopard under the mine.

For example, the small fire source stone veins that Firefox Village used to control, one or two red obsidian leopards would pop up from time to time during the mining process, but they were quickly killed by the soldiers stationed under the mine, and they couldn't set off too much wind and waves.

The strength of this fierce beast is not yet at the Tinder level, it is stronger than ordinary warriors, but it is weaker than the Tinder-level warriors, and any one of the hunting teams can deal with two or three on its own, so although the red leopard often appears in the mine, it is not too much trouble.

However, the number of red obsidian leopards that appeared in the mine this time was too much, no less than fifty of them were visually detected, and under the group, even if eight Tinder-level warriors joined forces, they could not be defeated, and the ordinary villagers who mined the fire source stone suffered more than ten casualties.

"How can there be so many obsidian leopards?" Lin Ze asked.

Shi Wenjie shook his head and said, "I don't know, in the past, there were never more than three red obsidian leopards in that vein at the same time, but here...... Maybe it's because this is a large ore vein and rich reserves of igneous stones, so there are more red leopards?"

His tone was full of uncertainty, after all, he had never encountered anything like it before.

Lin Ze muttered, "What about the villagers who are mining?"

"It's all been evacuated, there's no one inside, and I've had people seal off the entrance to the cave to prevent the obsidian leopard inside from escaping. ”

Lin Ze nodded, and while the two of them were hurrying, the entrance of the mine cave was already close in front of them.

The entrance to the cave was now tightly blocked by stones, and only a low roar could be faintly heard from inside, and there were four members of the hunting team guarding the entrance.

"Captain!"

Seeing Lin Ze appear, the four of them breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly greeted them and said respectfully.

Lin Ze waved his hand, pointed directly at the stone blocking the entrance of the cave and said, "Move the stone away, I'll go in and take a look." ”

"Captain, there are a lot of obsidian leopards in it, why don't we wait for the support from the village to come before we go in?" a member of the hunting team hesitated and persuaded.

There were so many red obsidian leopards, and it was impossible to solve them by relying on the garrison forces in the mining area, so as soon as Shi Wenjie learned the news, he first notified the village to ask for support.

Lin Ze glanced at the sky when he heard this, the sky was dark, the sun was about to set completely, there was no difference between rushing in the wilderness at night and looking for death, even if Firefox Village wanted to support the mining area, it would not be able to send people over until tomorrow morning, and it would take most of the day on the road.

Thinking of this, he shook his head.

"Don't wait, I'll go investigate first. ”

After a pause, he added, "I'll go in alone, you don't have to come along." ”

Shi Wenjie and the others immediately looked at each other, but after thinking about it, Lin Ze was a fire ring level warrior after all, and even if he couldn't defeat the group of red obsidian leopards in the mine, it shouldn't be difficult to escape, so he extinguished the idea of admonishment and moved the stone away as he said.

The swarthy entrance to the cave was revealed, and the roar of the beast coming from inside became clearer and clearer.

I don't know if the red leopard destroyed the torch, there is no light in it, and the dark hole is like a beast's mouth that wants to be devoured, waiting for the uninvited guest to break in.
