Chapter 62: The Underground Cave

Haoren followed behind the Fire Ant King, chasing a distance of dozens of meters, the surroundings became dark, damp and cold, and with the entrance of the cave blocked, he had no way back but to continue to move forward.

After a while, Haoren suddenly felt a hot current in front of him, a sound of rocks breaking and falling, and a trace of red light appeared in the dark vision.

Underground Caves!

A thought flashed in Haoren's mind, and he jumped down with the Fire Ant King, the cave was several meters high, and the fall caused more than two hundred injuries, and after getting up, Haoren didn't think about it, and hurriedly opened the moment of being a good person, rushed over with stealth steps, and broke through with a move against the Fire Ant King who was about to escape.

The poor fire ant king's remnants of blood finally escaped, but he was stunned on the spot, and he didn't even have room to resist, so he was completely ended by Haoren's skills several times in a row.

Rumble!

A cloud of blood exploded from the Fire Ant King's body, and with a ding-dong bang, several pieces of equipment and skill stones were scattered all over the ground. Haoren is overjoyed, after opening the hidden skill, it is a 100% explosion rate, and this is the boss of a ten-person dungeon, and the highest can drop silver equipment.

Solving the fire ant king, Haoren took the time to look at this underground cave, the entire cave was shrouded in a burst of red light, and it did not look dim, and followed the red light to find it, through several cave entrances, a magma river several meters wide appeared in front of him.

The viscous magma slowly flowed forward, and bursts of hot breath emanated through the air, making the underground cavern very hot.

Looking at the appearance of the cave, it is obvious that it is not a matter of a day or two, that is to say, it existed before the end of the world, Haoren sighed with the spectacular magma flow in front of him, after all, he had only seen magma on TV before this.

Where does this lava river lead?

Haoren quickly thought of Zixia Mountain, which is not far from here, it is said that Zixia Mountain was a very active volcano a long, long time ago, and after the last major eruption hundreds of thousands of years ago, it completely fell silent and gradually became an extinct volcano, which is now Zixia Mountain.

"This magma can't flow to Zixia Mountain, but isn't it an extinct volcano?" Haoren's face was quite strange, but his geographical knowledge had always been very scarce, and he didn't have a clue after thinking about it for a long time, so he left his surname behind.

Haoren noticed that the surface of the nearby rocks was glowing with a layer of red luster, and the closer to the magma flow, the more thoroughly the red of the rock became, and the rock itself became more crystal clear, more like a fiery red crystal. He couldn't help but reach out and stroke it, the surface of the crystal stone was as smooth as clotted cream, and there was a warm breath.

"It's such a magical place." Haoren shook his head and turned back to inspect the equipment.

The Fire Ant King dropped three pieces of equipment and a skill stone, plus more than 20,000 doomsday coins, all of which were naturally in Haoren's pocket.

Concussive Impact (Skill Stone, max Lv5)

Quality: Silver

Learning requirements: Master any of the internal force/fighting energy/sword energy/sword energy, and reach lv5

Effect: Consumes 20 points of internal force/fighting energy/sword energy/sword energy, dealing 100 points of attack to all enemies within 2 meters of the body, and at the same time inflicts a concussion effect, slowing down by 50% within 3 seconds. For every additional 10 points consumed, an additional 10 damage points and 1 meter radius are added. It can be lifted up to a range of 12 meters.

Cooldown: 3 minutes, 15 seconds cooldown per level.

Haoren looked at his skills, and his basic sword qi mastery happened to be lv5, so he immediately clicked to learn. The damage of this silver skill is not high, but the 50% slowdown effect in three seconds is quite good, which can be described as a magic skill for chasing and escaping.

And every time you consume 10 more sword qi value, the skill damage range will increase by one meter, Haoren's current sword qi value has grown to 200 points, and the sword qi value will be restored to 5 points per second, and the maximum range of 10 meters can be reached.

Flame Emblem

Fire Ant King Belt

Quality: Silver

Effect: Increases health by 200

Increases Fire Resistance by 30

Increases the space package by 30 blocks

Two pieces of flame resistance equipment in a row made Haoren a little surprised, if everyone can have a few pieces of flame resistance equipment in today's dungeon, then the fire ant king will be better to deal with.

Armor of the Glory (Glory Outfit)

Quality: Silver

Effect: Increases defense by 100

Increases CON by 30

Increases STR by 30

The last piece of equipment is actually the long-lost silver-level Glory Set, Haoren currently only has one Sword of Glory, and silver equipment can only be obtained in large dungeons, and it is good luck to be able to hit one today.

The two Glory Suit will activate one of the Set's surnames, adding an additional 30 points of Constitution, 30 points of Agility and 30 points of Strength, but this piece of equipment has not been strengthened in any way, so Haoren will temporarily put it in the space package, and it is not too late to equip it until it is strengthened to the 12th level, and the other two pieces of equipment will be replaced immediately.

Because Haoren is the only one left, all the experience points of the Fire Ant King belong to him, and the level is immediately increased to lv11, and the evolution points are allocated according to 5 agility, 5 strength, and 5 constitution.

Starting from level 10, the amount of experience required to level up each time is increasing, and even with the experience bonus of the Dark Mark, Haoren has only just broken through level 11.

The current Haoren can be said to have a lot of blood, thick defense, and high attacks, and can fight, resist, and run, and even he himself feels that he is too much like a humanoid boss.

As he sighed, there was a commotion from not far away, and Hao Ren immediately cheered up and tightened his grip on the Sword of the Glory, even though it was already in a badly damaged state.

After listening for a while, Haoren's face was a little strange, this was similar to the sound of swimming and paddling, and the source of the sound came from the vicinity of the magma river, how could this be?

Haoren tiptoed close to the magma, poked his head out of the rock wall and quietly observed, but his mouth opened wide in astonishment, looking at the wonder in front of him in disbelief.

In the hot lava flow, several reptiles were swimming slowly in it, staggering into the air from time to time, as if playing with each other, splashing a burst of viscous magma.

The creature is covered in short, thick crimson hair, a very small hemispherical head, and a very wide brown beak that resembles a duck's beak like a mask. It has short limbs, five toes with hooked claws, which resemble duck feet, and a body and tail that resemble beavers.

Even if Haoren didn't learn zoology, he finally recognized this strangely shaped guy as a platypus!

The platypus is a creature that appeared on Earth tens of millions of years ago, but Hao Renke had never heard of a platypus swimming in hot lava!

This unreasonable scene made Haoren stunned for a moment, frowning and whispering to himself: "Could it be that this is a mutated platypus?" It seems that this is the only explanation.

As if sensing Haoren's tracks, the platypus stopped playing and swam quickly to the shore, shaking violently with the fur on its body, throwing the contaminated magma around, and then slowly crawling towards Haoren's direction.

Haoren's heart tightened, and as the distance approached, the level displayed by the two platypus beasts in his field of vision turned out to be unknown! This means that the gap between them is so great that Haoren can't even see each other's level clearly!

"Stealth Step!" Haoren entered the stealth state in time and quietly retreated, the difference in strength between the two sides was too large, and he wanted to avoid fighting as much as possible.

The platypus slowly approached, stopped less than a few centimeters away from Haoren, raised its jet-black duckbill slightly, its crimson eyes turned slightly, staring at Haoren, completely ignoring the state of invisibility, and there seemed to be a trace of disdain in his eyes, as if mocking Haoren's self-made cleverness?

This guy can detect invisibility!

Haoren's heart couldn't help but beat a few times faster, clenching the sword of the Glory, if the battle could not be avoided, then it could only fight to the death, but it was a pity that the hidden skill had already been used just now.

Just as he was about to attack first, the platypus slowly turned around and walked away, turning back as he went, looking over with inexplicable eyes, and after taking two steps and turning back, he found that Haoren was still standing in place stupidly, and seemed to roar a few times with some dissatisfaction, its cry was low and hoarse.

Haoren was confused, and seeing that the platypus didn't seem to be hostile, the surname Suo appeared from the stealth state, stared at the platypus for a long time, pointed at himself a little strangely, and said curiously: "Do you want me to follow you?" ”

The platypus nodded slightly, but it startled Haoren, this guy can actually understand what he says, and his IQ is inevitably too high.
