Ongoing tasks.

Legendary Mission: Moving Planet (0/5) Reward: Remove the threat of "Star Extinction Order".

5 hunting commissions, which can probably be obtained from the adventurer's guild, where there is plenty of information.

Ian stepped into the Adventurer's Guild and received several quests for the Black Carbon Vein.

Several adventurers also received the quest, but they all said that it was a bit tricky.

"Black carbon veins...... Due to the steep terrain, coupled with the fact that the monsters have eaten a belly of black charcoal, they are all fire-attribute monsters. ”

"Monsters seem to breathe fire in general? It's scary. ”

"Not only can it breathe fire, but most of the monsters in the black carbon vein will explode after death, and the power can collapse a mountain!"

Sounds tricky.

Ian looked at the information in his hand, and the paper recorded the appearance of the black carbon vein monsters, as well as some of their abilities.

The first is a crimson hedgehog-like monster with a red body, its name is "Blazing Iron Wheel", and its ability is similar to the name, it can turn into a burning iron wheel.

Rolling from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, burning and blowing along the way, you can easily break the formation of adventurers.

After killing it, you can get fire-type materials, which can be made into weapons that explode after attacking, and most of them will be made into bombs.

In addition, there are other monsters that are also very threatening.

For example, the "Candlefire Wurm" that spews flames, and the "Lava Fish" that drills around the ground and has magma in its body.

They are all fire-based monsters, they all breathe fire, and there is a chance to explode directly after death.

It's the equivalent of a bunch of unstable bombs that move......

Ian put away the information.

"Mr. Hunter, are you sure you want to receive these commissions? They are all commissions of the Black Iron rank. ”

The reception lady thought it was too dangerous.

Ian took out his hunter certificate: "It's okay, I'm also a black iron level." ”

"Wouldn't it? Obviously yesterday it was a new hunter......"

The reception lady was impressed with Ian.

She had no idea that there would be an example of a new hunter rising to Black Iron in one day.

Her tone was quite surprised, and the other adventurers and hunters also looked at Ian with strange eyes.

"In one day, from not entering the stream to black iron?"

"Maybe you already have the power of black iron, it's not uncommon."

"But the Adventurers' Guild hasn't been like this for more than ten years."

Ian had purchased some arrows from the guild, and he had seen another piece of equipment he needed, a black cloak.

【Name:Fire-resistant cloak】

[Quality: Black Iron]

[Effect: After equipping, it provides 20% fire attribute damage reduction, and the high temperature resistance is increased to 1850°C.] 】

[Description: If you don't want to be burned, it's best to buy it.] 】

This is a piece of defensive equipment, and the attack of a fire-type monster is likely to burn him.

When equipped with a fire-resistant cloak, as long as the temperature is not higher than 1850°C, it does not pose the slightest danger.

Ian approached the adventurer for sale and asked for the price:

"How is this sold?"

"5 gold, after all, it is black iron level equipment, and it is acceptable to sell it a little more expensive!"

Ian currently has 23 gold on him, and after spending 5 gold to buy a fire-resistant cloak, he also found something that looks like a hook claw.

It is a claw made of smelted steel, which should be used for rock climbing, and in addition to that, a long iron chain is required.

Ian chooses what he wants, buys it, goes to his personal room, and combines them to activate his skills.

"Sloppy production!"

The chains are joined together with the steel claws to form the shape that Ian has always dreamed of.

【Name:Steel Hook Drop】

[Length: 10 meters]

[Damage: 50~120 (Physical Damage)]

[Effect: Can be used for rock climbing, or fixed to monsters, or even used as a meteor hammer.] 】

[Description: As a noble Ice Hunter, you possess a grappling claw!] 】

The other adventurers or hunters had never seen a weapon of this kind at all, and they thought it was a strange-looking meteor hammer.

Ian stowed it into his backpack and followed the key to the door's guide to the location of the first anchor point, the Black Carbon Vein.

He received a commission to defeat the "Lava Fish", "Candle Wurm", "Blazing Iron Wheel" and other monsters.

In the second stage of the road, novices need to complete 5 hunting commissions, and after completing the task, they can receive a black iron random treasure chest.

Transfer site: Black carbon vein.

It's like a black canyon that stretches for hundreds of miles and stretches as far as the eye can see.

When Ian arrived at the Black Carbon Vein, there were already some adventurers and miners mining the Black Coal Ore.

The black minerals embedded in the stone walls are black carbon ore, which are very easy to ignite, and there are many of them, and a large fire breaks out in the black carbon vein from time to time.

"Boom—boom—"

Ian was looking for prey, and suddenly there was a chaotic sound in the distance, and he looked up and saw a red iron wheel rolling down the hillside high up.

【Name:Blazing Iron Wheel (Elite)】

[Level: 8]

[HP: 910/910, Mana: 420/420]

[Skill: Blazing Iron Flywheel, Scale Armor Blast, Flame Breath]

[Sequence: Black Iron (Kill a sequence monster, there will be a small chance to get a unique reward)]

[Description: It likes to curl itself up to form a flaming iron wheel, rolling from high to low, leaving burning marks and flames on its way, and is a very dangerous and fast predator.] Wheels rolling! 】

The miners looked nervous, put away their pickaxes and prepared to escape.

"It's a blazing wheel! Watch out for serial explosions and fires, and build a line of defense! ”

The line of defense they knew was a barrier formed by several folded steel plates, which, when combined, could resist the spread of most fires as if they were a block of water.

Ian is armed with a bow and fire-resistant cloak, ready to throw his hooks.

The moment the blazing wheel rolled past him, Ian fired his hook.

Click-

The steel hook snapped onto the back of the blazing iron wheel, flung Ian off the ground like flying a kite.

Ian's attack enraged the tumbling Blazing Wheel, which jumped five meters high and slammed into the ground, sending a circle of rubble flying.

"Whew!!"

Scorching flames erupted from its mouth, and Ian didn't dodge, but turned his back.

The flames hit the fire-resistant cloak, the black cloak was undamaged, and Ian only felt a hint of heat.

It would be wise to spend 5 gold to buy the "Refractory Cloak".

He drew his mandala bow and armed it with a steel arrow, aiming it at the eye of a blazing iron wheel that resembled a hedgehog.

Whoosh——!

Arrows flew out.

【-258! (Critical Attack)】

The Blazing Iron Wheel is a level 8 elite monster, and its threat is much stronger than that of ordinary rotting wolves.

Due to the nature of exploding after death, fire-type monsters rarely come back to life due to necromancy, which is very rare good news.

Blinded by Ian's arrow, flames flowed from the wound of the Blazing Iron Wheel, and the red-hot sharp scale armor on his back stood up, aiming at Ian and throwing an attack similar to a hidden weapon.

Ian dodged away.

Ding Ding Ding!!

Dozens of red-hot steel scales pierced into the hard surface of the ground like red-hot sharp knives.

The air in the vicinity instantly became hot.
