Chapter 20: Exploring the Cave

Early the next morning, Huo Chen and the group left Xiao Zi after breakfast, and they went to the cave. In order to better complete the exploration task, Huo Chen cultivated for another night, and his fighting spirit was about to reach the two-star Light Warrior, and his magic power level was consolidated at the peak level.

After walking for about half an hour, Huo Chen came to the cave he had discovered, and as soon as he entered, the rich fire element came to his face, and he was warm and comfortable.

As he continued to go deeper into the cave, the fire element became more and more intense, which was already equivalent to the temperature brought by the low-level magic fireball technique, and the first-level fire defense demon pattern on Huo Chen's robe was automatically activated.

With such a rich accumulation of fire elements, it is difficult for most plants to grow, and fire medicinal herbs are like fish in water in such an environment. Today, Huo Chen is here to try his luck and see if he can get some rare fire medicinal materials.

The slope of the cave is getting bigger and bigger, according to Huo Chen's feeling, this has walked dozens of meters, but the height should have dropped several meters. The only good thing is that there is no fork in the road in this cave, and besides, the fire element reflects the cave with a faint red, so Huo Chen doesn't need lighting to see the road in front of him, but it's all red, and his eyes can't see clearly.

Suddenly, Huo Chen seemed to hear "Squeak!" Creak! Voice. Huo Chen stopped to watch, only to see scattered rubble placed everywhere, and the "creaking" sound was gone.

"There's nothing at all! Is it to scare yourself? ”

Huo Chen slowed down and walked gently inside. After walking for about a few meters, Huo Chen heard the sound of "squeaking" again, and the sound was much clearer than just now.

Huo Chen stopped again and looked around carefully. Suddenly, a gray shadow flashed out of the rubble and ran into the cave.

"What's that? So fast? I'm about to catch up with Xiao Zi! ”

Because the road was really difficult to walk, and the line of sight was not good, Huo Chen didn't catch up quickly, but his steps were bigger than just now, and his mental power was more concentrated than just now.

After walking for about ten meters, Huo Chen heard a voice again. This time, Huo Chen didn't blindly continue to go deeper, for fear of alarming it again and letting it run away.

Huo Chen stopped, first releasing his perception. All objects in the Eternal Continent, including people, trees, earth, beasts, etc., are made up of elements. Therefore, the world in the eyes of some high-level magicians is different from that of ordinary people, relying on strong elemental perception, magicians can perceive any object.

Under his strong perception, Huo Chen saw a mouse with dark golden fur about five meters in front of him, gnawing on a piece of ore, so he let out a "squeak!" Creak! Voice.

"It's ...... Gold Eater! Huo Chen almost exclaimed.

The Gold Eater Rat, a very strange magical beast, is extremely fast, has a very hard head, has an extremely strong ability to make holes, and has only one kind of food, which is ore, including all ores. Gold Eaters are graded according to the color of their fur. The newborn juvenile Gold Devouring Rat was gray and was just a second-level demonic beast; After the Gold Devouring Rat finds and eats the ore, the gray hair will quickly fall off and turn black, and it will be promoted to a third-level demonic beast; As the Gold Eater devours more ores, the higher the level will be, and the color will continue to change.

So the Gold Eater Rat is the best monster to find ores. For miners, the Gold Eater Rat is a mythical beast! However, on the Eternal Continent, basically no one has found that any miner has tamed the Gold Eater Rat.

There are several main reasons: first, the number of gold-eating rats is very small, ordinary people can't touch them at all, and gold-eating rats are never gregarious. After the mother gives birth to a baby gold eater, she simply leaves it in a place where the ore is abundant, and then leaves. Second, the gold devouring rat is extremely fast, and ordinary people can't catch up at all. Unless you are a very high-level warrior or magician, you can subdue the Gold Eater Rat at once when it is about to escape. However, the Gold Eater Rat is very timid, and if it is subdued in an instant, the Gold Eater Rat is likely to be scared to death in that instant!

"It's still a newborn gold-eater, but you can't catch it at all!" Retracting his senses, Huo Chen didn't have the will to take it for himself, because in this case, he would probably kill it.

Huo Chen ignored the little gold eater rat and continued to explore into the depths of the cave, the little gold eater didn't run into the depths of the cave, maybe the fire damage was too strong, and the little gold eater couldn't stand it, so after seeing Huo Chen coming, he turned around and ran out of the cave.

Huo Chen walked about two hundred meters or so, and the slope was already very large, and he had to use both hands and feet to continue passing. Moreover, the fire-based defensive magic pattern on the robe could no longer resist such a fire element, and Huo Chen had to release a fire-type magic shield every once in a while to resist this blazing temperature.

"Fortunately, I didn't let Xiao Zi follow, the temperature is too high! It can't be magma underneath, isn't it? ”

Huo Chen turned another corner, and suddenly the terrain became gentle, and the temperature seemed to be a little lower than just now.

"Why is it so cold here that it's cooler than it was just now?" Huo Chen is also very strange, it stands to reason that the deeper you go, the higher the temperature.

Huo Chen wanted to go deeper, but as soon as he walked out of this gentle place, a heat wave that was much higher than just now rushed over, frightening Huo Chen to stop quickly.

"There's quirkiness in this place!" Huo Chen said to himself, "The fire-type defensive magic pattern on the robe on the body won't work here at all, unless you can find a fire resistance suit and then draw the fire-type magic pattern, you can continue to go deeper!" ”

"But why is it cooler here than in the front and behind? Could it be that the fire elemental has been absorbed here? There's fire ore here! Huo Chen was a little excited!

Subsequently, Huo Chen released a magic detection, and sure enough, there was something good here! That fluctuation of magic is all too familiar! No wonder the temperature here is much lower, it turns out that the ore was bred!

Mana Detection, a secondary magic skill whose primary function is to detect magic fluctuations within ten meters of the surrounding area. Magicians will also have a break in the wild, and they can monitor the situation within ten meters of the surrounding area at any time by releasing a magic detection. As long as it is an object with magic fluctuations, close to the range of mana detection, the caster can immediately know about it and take action. Later, mana detection was also used to find high-grade medicinal herbs and high-grade ores.

Huo Chen carefully studied the mountain wall, and sure enough, the rocks on the mountain wall were dark red, not the color reflected by the fire element, they were dark red, as if blood was soaked through.

This is the most obvious feature of the growth point of the Earth Flame Demon Iron Mine, but it is a pity that these rocks are not dark red enough, if the color is darker, there will be a chance to give birth to the Karmic Fire Red Lotus, which is an important material for the sobering elixir!

Judging by the color of the rock, it should be a poor mine. However, even if it is a poor mine, Huo Chen does not plan to let it go, it is a rare fire attribute magic metal, when forging equipment, adding a little can greatly improve the fire kang attribute of the equipment, if you draw the fire attribute defense magic pattern, then you can continue to explore the cave deeply.
