Chapter 47: Volcanoes
Flame Crystal City has a mine on the outskirts of this volcano, which is generally not allowed to outsiders to enter. However, the treasure map has marked the passage to the treasure location.
Flo and Oria didn't adapt to this environment and didn't come along. Yuan Mu didn't bring much troops, and the half-orc wizard treasure should have just been hidden and set up some traps, so there wouldn't be too many enemies. Of course, after all this time, I don't know if there will be any changes.
"We've been to the underground tunnels in the rocky heights, the secret tunnels in the graveyards, the mines in the Black Iron Village, the monster caves and karst cave passages at the bottom of the lake, and now the secret tunnels in the volcano - I hate the underground." Tao Snow felt the gradually heating environment, and said helplessly.
"Strictly speaking, it's not underground, we're just inside the volcano." Yuan Mu corrected him.
“……”
"There's a bunch of creatures up ahead, volcanic lizards." Blood Moon came back from the front to remind Yuan Mu.
Volcanic lizard, a free-form level 2 class, no skills.
Large volcanic lizard, free level 3 class, volcanic lizard upgrade class, skill devouring small creatures.
This group of volcanic lizards was very docile, did not attack Yuan Mu's troops, and roamed and fed on the endemic plants that grew in the volcano.
The treasure map was drawn by the orc wizard a long time ago, and some of the markings didn't match the actual location. Yuan Mu could only barely recognize one direction, but fortunately, there was a very clear mark at the end of the treasure.
After advancing for a while, I came to a cave**, where the ground turned into solidified magma, and there was a small low-level fire crystal resource collection point, which could collect some scattered fire crystals. There is also a flock of small firebirds flying around next to the resource point.
This group of small firebirds was originally a level 0 elemental creature, and some of them have also upgraded with this resource point.
Scorching Firebird, elemental level 1 class, small firebird upgrade class, scorching skills.
Little Firebird Treasure Hunter, Elemental Level 1 Rare Class, Little Firebird Upgrade Class, Skill Discovery (Discover Fire Resources).
Flame Bird, elemental level 2 class, small firebird upgrade class, skill Spitfire. is a semi-ranged class.
Yuan Mu glanced at the little phoenix on his shoulder. It means that you look at people, I fed you to level 2 and almost level 3, you are still an ordinary little firebird, and you haven't even changed your attributes after upgrading.
The little phoenix was furious, and flew directly off Yuan Mu's shoulder to the group of small firebirds, chirping. When the little firebirds saw this kind, they did not reject it, but they all gathered around and called together.
Seeing that the little phoenix suddenly mingled with the flock of small firebirds, Yuan Mu was dumbfounded. Could it be that he despised it and was unhappy that he wanted to leave himself to join this flock of little firebirds?
I was thinking about comforting it for a few words, but I didn't expect the little phoenix to fly directly to Yuan Mu with the group of little firebirds and chirp together.
"The little flamingo is willing to join your troops, do you accept it?"
Accept. Although the level of the little firebird is low, it is a flying class, so don't be in vain. Yuan Mu touched the little phoenix, but he didn't expect the little phoenix to have this effect.
"Okay, I'm wrong about you, you're amazing."
The little phoenix screamed proudly, it really has the majesty of a phoenix. The little firebirds around them chirped, and the little phoenix seemed to be their boss.
Yuan Mu took out a fire element spar and said to the little phoenix, "You ask them, are there any treasure resources around here." Whoever finds out, I'll give this fire elemental spar to whomever I want. ”
Little Phoenix understood what he was saying.
The little phoenix stared at this fire elemental spar silently, this is its snack! Usually when I see it, I swallow it directly into my stomach, but now that there are so many little brothers beside me, it's not easy to swallow it alone.
"Stupid." Yuan Mu flicked his finger on its head, "This is a volcano, there must be fire-based resources or treasures around, but the little firebird doesn't have the ability to get it." If I find it, I won't be able to miss yours? ”
The little phoenix also understood, and with difficulty her eyes removed from the fire elemental spar, she chirped a few words to the little firebird.
The flock of small firebirds suddenly exploded, and flew around in several groups towards several places, chirping non-stop, making Yuan Mu's head hurt.
"Stop, stop," Yuan Mu hurriedly quieted them down, "come one by one." ”
Under the guidance of the little firebird, Yuan Mu found a fire crystal resource point, a treasure chest, a few high-grade flame crystals, and two buildings. These locations are guarded by creatures, but none of them are Yuan Mu's opponents.
The chest contains a Tier 1 treasure and some resources, as well as a class building.
Flame Crystal Shoes, a level 1 treasure, +1 speed, and reduced damage from fire-based magic damage. A great value for money treasure.
Rocket Pillar, Elemental Level 3 Building, Visiting Heroes and Mage classes can learn Magic Fire Arrow (Level 1) and Fire Arrow (Level 2). If you are a fire elemental mage class or hero, you can also learn and transcribe the magic burst arrow (level 3) and the bow and arrow fire damage enchantment (level 2).
The beetle's nest under the solidified magma, the elemental level 2 building, can recruit the elemental level 2 class magma explosion beetle, the skill self-destructs, the existing number is 6. On top of that, the blasting beetle is one of the Volcanosaurus' favorite foods. The spontaneous explosion of the pulp beetle does not cause damage to the Volcanic Dragon, but instead has a unique taste in the Volcanic Dragon's mouth.
In addition, the little firebird flock also helped Yuan Mu find the right way to the treasure map.
Yuan Mu was very satisfied, and distributed a lot of resources to them, and by the way, he helped Little Phoenix establish its prestige and make it addicted to being the boss.
Little Phoenix is also an elite.
With a little firebird leading the way, Yuan Mu successfully found the next sign, and it was not far from the treasure location marked by the treasure map.
Follow the instructions of the treasure map and come out of the passage, which is another large cave. This cave is different from other caves in that it has a lava pool in the middle where a group of magma elements are entrenched.
Magma Pool, an elemental level 3 building, can recruit elemental level 3 magma elements.
Magma element, elemental level 3 class, skill to scorch the body. Melee class.
Magma Messenger, elemental level 4 class, magma elemental upgrade class, skill spray magma, summon fire element. It's also a semi-long-range class, and its hand-to-hand combat ability is also good.
As soon as this group of magma elements saw Yuan Mu's troops, they attacked.
"It looks like there's still going to be a fight." Tausno picks up the twin axes and prepares for battle.
"Watch out for the lava emissaries in the back, they will spew lava and summon fire elementals, go kill them first."
After the battle, Yuan Mu came to the magma pool in the middle, and after thinking about it, he still didn't recruit a few magma elements from the magma pool that could be recruited, but there were some magma element resources collected next to him.
The treasure map indicates that the treasure is located through this cave. Yuan Mu didn't delay, and led the troops directly over, and Fu Luo was still waiting for him outside.
"It's here."
In front of them was a magma river that had already solidified, and Yuan Mu and his subordinates were on the bank of the magma river, and not far from them there was an extremely smooth rock wall, which looked very dazzling here.
There are some murals carved into the rock face, which have been eroded so blurred that one can only vaguely guess that they are telling about the power of the orc wizard and the betrayal of his subordinates.
The subordinates obeyed Yuan Mu's order and began to dig the treasure not far away, digging very deeply. If Yuan Mu didn't know that he was here, he really wanted to give up.
"Ding." An ancient chest was dug up.
"Don't open it, there's something in the box." Yuan Mu saw the box and said busily.
This is a brass chest, and the style on the chest has a very rough and barbaric style. There are also some strange ornaments on the chests, inscribed with a witchcraft.
Half-orc wizard blood curse, open the chest will be cursed by the powerful half-orc wizard.
Looks like you're looking for holy water or dispelling magic again, or just find an enemy to open it on? Yuan Mu was reluctant to let his subordinates take risks, and some powerful curses would still exist even if they died and were resurrected.
There's nothing here, so you have to go outside and figure it out. Since he came, by the way, to see what resources were here, Yuan Mu asked his subordinates and the little firebird to search the banks of this solidified magma river.
The little firebird treasure hunter in the flock of small firebirds soon made a discovery.
Yuan Mu looked over and found that it was a high-grade Yanjing ore resource collection point, but unfortunately Yuan Mu had no miners under him now, so he could only pick up some scattered Yanjing.
The flock of small firebirds was very excited, and they could directly grab fire energy from the unmined Flame Crystal ore. A flock of small firebirds all pounced on the Flame Crystal resource point.
Of course, the little phoenix did not show weakness, occupying the highest quality flame crystal ore, and quickly absorbed the fire energy.
Yuan Mu found that the little phoenix's absorption of fire energy was really different from other little firebirds, and other little firebirds all pecked at the flame crystal ore one by one, or swallowed some small flame crystal fragments.
The little phoenix directly sucked the flame crystal ore in front of him into slag in one bite, and all the fire energy was sucked into its stomach by it. The little phoenix was not satisfied, so he made a hole in the ore and wanted to drill directly into the ore vein to eat.
Only then did Yuan Mu know that it was also the ability of the little phoenix to directly swallow the level 2 or even level 3 fire element spar in one bite, and ordinary little firebird fire creatures couldn't absorb it so quickly.
The Blood Moon found an anomaly. "My lord, the level of this resource point is very high, how can there be no wild creatures to occupy it?"
Really, Yuan Mu didn't expect it at first, so he hurriedly asked people to check around, and found traces of the activities of huge creatures, which might be their nests.
"This creature may be bigger than the average dragon." Blood Moon looked at the huge footprints found on the magma river.
"Let's go, these creatures may just go for a walk."
Yuan Mu ignored the little phoenix's desperate pecking at him, grabbed the little phoenix out of the Yanjing ore, and ordered his subordinates to retreat quickly. The flock of small firebirds is very obedient, and they know that the volcano is inhabited by some terrible creatures.
"Roar", not far away, I heard the roar of a monster coming from the Yanjing resource collection point, and the little phoenix who was still resisting in Yuan Mu's hands immediately became honest.
Yuan Mu led his subordinates out along the secret passage when they came, and found the Flora who were waiting outside.
