In the past, Luke paid great attention to the training of magic power, and the knowledge passed on by the clear sky laid a very good foundation for him in magic theory. As a result, Luke progressed very quickly, although he was late in gaining his mana.

The physical body, on the other hand, is based on the strength of the bloodline, and has not undergone professional physical training. When he thought that his strength was enough, he didn't expect that his physical strength still had so much potential to be tapped.

At Coconut Fruit's suggestion, Luke switched from riding to walking, while carrying a log weighing up to a ton on his shoulder. This weight is nothing for Luke, who has dragon blood, but it is not easy to walk with weights for long periods of time and keep up with the speed of the pack team.

During the break, the coconut fruit did not let Luke sit idle, and the weight-bearing pull-ups came a thousand first......

In the evening, Coconut would gather herbs to make a bowl of bitter soup for Luke, and force him to eat a whole roasted wild sheep.

This is the strength training method that the barbarians have summed up from ancient times to the present, and this time it was used on Luke's body, and the effect was very significant. After only a few days of training, Luke felt that his strength had improved significantly, and this was just the beginning, I don't know how terrifying it would be when his strength reached its peak if he continued to train like this.

Luke's increase in strength also frightened Coconut Fruit.

She had thought that even if humans had a talent for strength, they would never be stronger than those barbarians with a talent for strength. As a result, it took Luke less than a week to train hard enough to compete with the strongest barbarians.

And Luke turned out to be very relaxed, this kind of training was far from the upper limit of what he could bear.

"What the hell are you a monster?" When Luke increased the weight to two tons and could still keep up with the packer, Coconut could no longer keep his composure: "How can your strength increase so quickly!" It's not something a human can do! ”

Luke swapped his shoulders and changed the horizontal log to the longitudinal one to facilitate the path between the two large trees. At the same time, he replied to the coconut fruit riding on the horse: "I don't know the reason, probably you are really a very good strength coach, I didn't know that my strength could be so greatly improved in such a short time." ”

Complimented by Luke, Coconut was very proud: "Of course I am an excellent strength training coach. If you are interested in working with me for a long time, I guarantee that after a year of training, your strength will definitely be greater than that of the strongest barbarian. ”

Luke put down the log on his shoulders at this time: "Long-term cooperation is a good suggestion, and I found that I really need a team of professionals to explore my potential for the long term.

But I'm going to finish my task first.

The firebird's habitat should be nearby, so we went there early and tried to be able to continue the journey in the evening. ”

Seeing the firebird that Luke was still thinking about, Coconut jumped off the horse: "I thought you had forgotten about this task, so you can't think about it?" It's a firebird, it won't fight with you, it will only burn you with fire.

Listen to me, let's move on, the champion of the Hercules competition is waiting for you. ”

Luke pulled out a few gold coupons from his pocket.

Coconut didn't take it, but continued to persuade: "It's not a matter of money, I don't want to see you go to death, although you are a very unlikable person, but I know that you are a good person." ”

Luke shoved the gold coupon into Coconut Fruit's hand: "For a professional adventurer, not being able to complete the task is very much affecting the credit score. I need this quest to help me get promoted to A-rank Adventurer, which is very important to me.

You just need to take me to the firebird's habitat and then return to wait. In the evening, if I do not return, you can go on. ”

Luke's insistence left Coconut to accept.

"Well, we've only known each other for a few days, and since you're going to kill the firebird, there's no reason for me to stop you like that." Coconut flicked the gold coupon in his hand, put it in his pocket, and then said to the other members of the party, "Find a safe place to set up camp, and I will be back in a moment." ”

"Yes, Captain Coconut."

Coconut said to Luke, "Let's go, the firebird's habitat is in the volcano ahead." ”

Coconut drew her dagger and slashed through the bushes, leading Luke off the path the adventurers had taken and towards the firebird's habitat.

It didn't go far before the surrounding vegetation thinned out, the ground gradually turned charred black, the temperature became warmer, and the air became drier.

When the two of them walked out of the jungle, they were confronted by a towering volcano. The crater was open, with fires and smoke spewing out of it from time to time, and the whole area was filled with the pungent smell of sulfur.

Coconut stopped at the foot of the mountain, pointed to the smoke-filled crater, and said to Luke, "That's the nest of the firebird, and it rarely leaves the volcanic range." But it's very alert, and if we go any further, we may be spotted by it. ”

Luke looked at the top of the mountain and said to the coconut fruit, "Go back, I will go to you when I get the nirvana egg." ”

"Well, I wish you all the best." After completing the task, Coconut turned to leave, and after taking two more steps, she turned back to Luke and said, "I'll wait for you under the tree over there, maybe I can help you a little when it matters."

The worst-case scenario is to collect your body. ”

Luke laughed at Coconut Fruit's last words: "If you find my body, be sure to turn everything in my pocket...... Thank you, hide and don't let the firebird find you. ”

"Good luck."

Coconut turned and walked into the woods outside, while Luke leapt deep and sped towards the crater at the summit.

The volcano let out a dull roar at this moment, followed by a high-pitched roar from the crater. The whole mountain shook violently, and large rocks rolled down from the summit.

Frightened by this sudden situation, Coconut had not yet taken refuge in the woods, and when she turned around, she saw a large amount of magma erupting from the crater. In the red magma tide, a crimson firebird flew out bathed in lava.

The coconut fruit didn't dare to look more, so he turned his head and ran towards the jungle.

I don't have any hope that Luke will come back alive, it's a firebird, a transcendent creature comparable to a dragon!

At this time, Luke had already rushed to the crater, and the erupted magma formed a large wave against him. In the crevices of the lava, he saw the firebird flying out of the nest.

Its wingspan is ten meters, and all its feathers are flaming flames. It circled around the crater, and its violent chirps showed that it was in a very bad mood.

Firebirds are territorial, transcendent creatures that guard their own volcanic pools, killing any creatures in their territory, even plants to be burned.

Now that a human has come to the crater, he can look down and see the whole nest, which is more serious than touching the dragon's scales.

Although meat is not something in the firebird's recipe, the firebird at this time has already made up his mind to taste what it is like to be human.

The firebird chirped angrily again, its wings swept out of the hot flames.

Luke, covered by the lava tide, took out the dagger given by the archangel Gold, held it in both hands, and the dagger instantly turned into a long sword. The incantation was pronounced, and a shield made of fire elementals unfolded, and lava fell on the fire elemental shield like water poured on an eggshell, flowing down the glorious shield wall.

The incantation continued, and the fire that erupted from under Luke's feet turned against him, forming a wave of fire that rushed towards the fire wind fanned by the firebird. The two flames collided in the air, and the fire elemental was detonated to form a violent explosion.

A ring of fire spread rapidly in the crater, and the dust was burned red, forming a red cloud that covered the top of the mountain.

The firebird felt the provocation.

This is not only an invasion of the territory, but also a battle of fire and fire.

The firebird chirped even higher, climbed altitude, and swooped down. The red feathers of fire turned incandescent, and the dazzling light made the midday sun a little discolored.

This is the firebird's stunt "Falling Sun", someone dared to come to the door to play with fire, and it played so well, anger has made it lose its mind.

Luke unleashed his stunt as soon as he saw the firebird come up, and sighed that this guy just likes to follow the strategy, as long as the player's fire is strong enough, it will definitely use its housekeeping skills.

At this time, the swooping firebird could no longer see the shape of the bird, it was a dazzling white ball of light, like a falling sun, crashing into the fire cloud on the top of the mountain.

Luke opens the Thunder Fire Pupil and captures the Firebird's heart of flame in the ball of light.

If played the way normally, the Firebirds are a very difficult opponent on their home turf. If it is beaten, it will hide in the lava of the volcano and escape along the underground lava river.

This is the reason why the Firebird has been entrenched here for a long time, it has a strong sense of territory, but it does not hesitate to flee when it needs to escape.

The Firebird's weakness is its heart of flame.

After many battles with the Firebird, players found that when the Firebird released the stunt "Sunfall", all of its body would be converted into fire elemental energy for a concentrated release, and the Flame Heart was in an unprotected state at this time.

At this time it is the strongest and the weakest,

Luke held his sword in both hands, his eyes fixed on the heart of the flame in the incandescent fireball. The opportunity to attack is only a very short moment, and if you let the firebird detonate all the energy, you can only come again next time.

The firebird turned into an incandescent ball of fire, and it crashed into the red cloud, and the powerful energy made the red cloud churn. Then the red cloud swelled violently, and after an explosion that shook the entire mountains and jungles, black smoke and red mist billowed upwards like mushrooms.

At this time, Coconut had just run into the woods, and the sight in front of her made her completely stunned on the spot.

A large crack cracked in the middle of the mountain, and the summit collapsed inward, erupting with magma and smoke outward. The chaotic fire elemental formed a turbulent current and stirred, triggering the release of various fire attribute magic, and it was like the end of the world for a while.

Coconut looked at such a scene and thought...... Where to find the body?

The volcanic ash pressed in, choking the coconut fruit and coughing violently, and the surroundings quickly darkened. She didn't know what was going on, but it was certainly not a good thing.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed her arm, and an irresistible force pulled her into the dense forest.

A familiar voice rang in my ears.

"The volcano is about to erupt, so don't run yet!"

It's Luke!

He's alive?

Coconut looked forward, and although the dense foliage of grass and foliage in front of her blocked some of her vision, she recognized Luke.

"You're not dead? You defeated the Firebird? ”

Luke pauses and shows Coconut the Nirvana egg he holds in his arms. It was the size of an ostrich egg and was covered in beautiful flame patterns.

"There is time to look on the road, the volcanic ash is coming, run!"

Coconut looked back, and the ash pressed down like a wall, and the sparks mixed in it set fire to all the plants and trees in its pass. Coconut didn't dare to stay and ran forward with Luke's lifelessness.

Finding the pack team, Coconut didn't explain to the members of the adventure group, and rode with Luke to drive the pack beast away from the volcano.

I ran until evening, when I stopped by a mountain stream.

The coconut jumped into the water and washed away the dirt on its body. The team members didn't know what was going on at this moment, and when the coconut fruit was washed, they stepped forward to ask.

"I don't know exactly what happened. Go and get something to eat, and be on your guard...... Where is Mr. Luke? ”

Coconut saw Luke as the team pointed him out, and walked over to him.

Luke sat on a rock beside a mountain stream, stroking the nirvana egg in his hand. It's hot but not hot, and it's very heartwarming.

Compared with the irascible firebird, the Nirvana Egg is an intimate hand warmer.

Coconut sat down next to Luke, and she asked excitedly, "Is this really the Nirvana Egg?" ”

Luke handed the Nirvana Egg over: "Feel its magic, I don't even want to give it to the entrusted employer. ”

The coconut fruit receives the nirvana egg, and the heat is immediately transferred to the hand. A layer of injurious fire spreads, drying the skin that is still stained with water in an instant. The fire spread to the whole body, and the clothes dried instantly. The rising steam blows away wet hair, leaving it dry and smooth after falling.

"It's really amazing!" The coconut fruit stroked the flame patterns on the eggshell, and an indescribable feeling arose in his heart: "I seem to be able to release fire magic ...... too"

As he spoke, Coconut stretched out his hand, and a ball of fire came out of his palm.

Luke said: "The Nirvana Egg is originally the top fire-type magic item, even people who don't know anything about magic can have the ability to release fire-based magic in a short period of time after contacting the Nirvana Egg. ”

Coconut played with the fire in his hand and asked, "How did you defeat the firebird?" Too fast, I had just gotten to safety when the volcano cracked in the explosion and then you showed up to me.

I didn't see your process of defeating the Firebird at all, it's a shame! ”

Luke replied, "As long as you master its weaknesses, it will not be difficult to defeat the Firebird." If you don't have enough magic to hold the Nirvana Egg for too long, you'll be burned. ”

Coconut immediately returned the Nirvana Egg, and then asked, "You really don't want to give it to the employer who issued the task, that's 100 million Reichsmarks!" ”
