Chapter 122: Demonic Imps and Harvest
Xu Yue did not rush to leave after knowing that the new coordinate point connected by the Boundary Gate was the Abyss Hell. Although the abyss is dangerous, the abundant resources here are a rare treasure for the magicians of Talumia's Big 6. However, not long after he began to search his surroundings, a ball of flame suddenly flew towards him from behind a nearby rock, and a short figure with green flames on its body jumped out from behind the rock.
The green flame suddenly disintegrated into a scattered firelight and fell to the ground after attacking the protective shield on his body. To his surprise, although the flames could not break through his shield, the tiny flames did not extinguish after they disintegrated. When these tiny flames touched the rocks on the ground, I saw that the rocks, which were very solid in such a harsh environment, seemed to have been corroded, and the green flames burned out holes one by one.
"It's ...... Demon imps, then these green flames are the magic energy flames in the book?" Xu Yue looked at the figure in front of him, frowned, and whispered.
At this time, the figure that popped out was already very clearly visible, a body of burning green firelight, very small limbs and body, and the head was a thin head with a big grin, and there were two small horns on the skull that were unique to abyssal creatures. This creature is a very representative creature in hell - a demon imp.
This creature peculiar to Hell itself is not very strong, and almost an ordinary adult can physically abuse them into a vegetable. However, although these demonic imps are not strong physically, they are proficient in fire magic. Their fire magic is different from the fire magic of Talumia's magicians. Because the magical elements in the abyss are infected by the negative energy unique to the abyss. Therefore, the elemental nature here is much more violent than the magical element of Talumia, so the magician calls the magical energy here magical energy. The flames emitted by the fire magic here are also called magical flames.
Compared to Talumia's fire magic, the magic flames of Hell are not only more violent. It also has a strong corrosive effect because of the negative energy it contains.
After the demon imp saw that the demonic flame he came out did not cause any damage to his prey, he jumped angrily a few times. The intelligence of this low-level monster in the abyss is only higher than that of the demonic beasts that don't have much thinking ability here, and the first time they fail to attack, they don't think of running away, but scorching their opponents with more magical flames.
Because the movements of the demon imp are always bouncing and look like a clown in a drama theater. However, its action of releasing the magic fireball was very sharp, and it shot out one magic fireball after another while jumping and waving its arms. The magic fireball kept crashing into Xu Yue's magic shield. Then he scattered and fell on the ground next to him, and after a while, the ground around Xu Yue was already covered with green flames.
Xu Yue didn't fight back immediately, for this kind of demonic imp unique to the abyss. He was still curious. Although in the past three years, Talumia has talked about many races that only appear in Western myths and legends on Earth, but he still has a certain curiosity about this race that only exists in hell in Western mythology. Anyway, the other party's attack is not a threat to him at all, so it is better to observe it first.
"Well, this demon imp's magic energy fireball is roughly equivalent to a third-level fire-based magic impact fireball. However, because the magic flame itself is corrosive. So the power is actually a bit higher than the impact fireball. However, this guy's body is really as thin as the book says, and his arms and legs are probably a little thicker than my thumb, and if a melee class can get close to them, I'm afraid that even a first-level warrior can easily kick a large piece to death. While observing Xu Yue, he thought to himself.
The demonic imp shot only about a third-level demonic fireball didn't cause him much trouble, so he simply took a few steps forward with his shield on his head, intending to take a closer look at this legendary low-level race of the abyss. But his movements obviously startled the demon imp, who saw it hurriedly jump and run backwards for some distance, and then muttered a few words in a language that Xu Yue had never heard before.
Suddenly, I saw a group of bouncing demon imps jumping out from behind the rocks not far away. There were six or seven of them, and they were jumping around from not far away. While throwing out one by one magic fireballs in his hand, he threw them on Xu Yue's body.
"Yes! I remember that the book says that most of the demon imps live in groups, and it seems that this neighborhood happens to be the lair of this group of demon imps. After seeing those demon imps, Xu Yue said with some understanding.
Since the other party came to help, Xu Yue didn't plan to drag it out like this anymore. Although even if these demonic imps were on it together, the magic energy fireball with only a third-level magic strength would not be able to break through his magic shield. But the demon imp is only a low-level monster in the lower level of the abyss, and it is not even a demon, so the strength of these things is actually not high in the abyss.
These demon imps themselves are easy to deal with, but if their battle drags on for a long time, it will be a bit bad to attract some powerful monsters. The average strength of the creatures of the Hell itself is much higher than that of creatures that are 6 years older than Talumia. In the several wars in history when the Abyssal Demons attacked Talumia, if it weren't for the fact that the rules of the Talumia plane had a strong suppressive effect on these cross-border abyssal creatures, so that they couldn't even wave half of their own strength, Tarumia's Big 6 would have fallen several times. In fact, in the invasion of several abyssal demons, Talumia's various races have also been forced to a desperate situation several times, if it weren't for the actions of those high-ranking gods, Talumia would have been filled with the demons of the abyss.
In the abyss, in fact, the main combat force is the demons, which are a class composed of some fixed demon races and some abyssal creatures that have broken through to a certain boundary. Generally speaking, even the weakest low-level demons have the strength of more than the fifth order, and if some intermediate demons are even comparable to the seventh and eighth level professionals, the high-level demons are properly the ninth-level storage zài. And it's much stronger than Talumia's ninth-level professional.
If it is a low-level demon, it can only be said that it is a little troublesome for Xu Yue, even if he can't kill the other party and wants to leave, it is still no problem. But if you encounter a mid-level demon. He suspected that even if he wanted to run, it would be more difficult, and his hole cards would have some effect on the seventh level of Talumia, and it would be too bad for the intermediate demons in the abyss.
After deciding to pay attention to the battle, a silver staff more than one person tall instantly appeared in Xu Yue's hand. The tip of the staff is inlaid with a white diamond-shaped crystal. The diamond-shaped crystal, the size of an adult's fist, was surrounded by two intersecting circular bands of light, one red and the other blue.
If anyone saw this crystal surrounded by a two-color band of light, they would be surprised to call out the name of the Kuser crystal. This magical crystal is an extremely precious magical material on Talumia. Because this crystal itself is the only magical material that can condense the different magical energies of water and fire. Therefore, the magic equipment made of zuò from this material can not only cast water and fire magic at the same time. And after a certain amount of processing. It can also rely on the collision of water and fire to perform powerful explosive magic.
However, the environment in which this precious material is born is very demanding, so there are very few magical equipment made of Kuser crystals on the Tarimia Big 6, and most of the time, even if there is a high-priced one, it is scary. Xu Yue also relied on a good relationship with the elves. It was only in a certain transaction that he exchanged some precious magic materials that the elves just needed for this sixth-level staff made of Kuser crystals.
I saw him point the staff in his hand forward, and suddenly saw that the blue band of light in the two-color light band at the top of the crystal began to rotate rapidly. A strong chill appeared from the tip of the staff, and instantly spewed out in the direction of those demonic imps.
As a typical abyssal creature, the Demon Imp has similar characteristics to other abyssal creatures. They live for a long time in hot areas of magma and fire. Therefore, not only is he good at using fire-based energy, but his resistance to flames is even more ridiculously high. But everything is balanced, and there are advantages and disadvantages. Most of the creatures of the Abyss have a high resistance to fire, but correspondingly have a much lower resistance to frost magic. Even compared to many of Talumia's creatures, their resistance to frost magic is almost negative, so using frost magic against them is the best option.
The scorching heat of the area seemed to turn into a glacier in an instant, and the hot rocks around it were covered in a thick layer of ice in an instant with the cryogenic magic unleashed by the staff. White frost continued to spread around, and some of the flowing magma was even extinguished by a strong chill in an instant. In the blink of an eye, it was extinguished, blackened, solidified, and sealed in frost.
The surrounding environment is still like this, and the situation is even worse for those demonic imps who are the main targets of attack. These guys were frozen into ice almost as soon as the magic was cast, and they were frozen in the ice in a comical jumping position.
After seeing that the opponent was solved by his own move, Xu Yue stepped on the ice under his feet and walked to the side of the frozen demon imps. These low-level magics were frozen in such a powerful chill that they would have died a long time ago and could no longer die. However, Xu Yue didn't plan to just throw these demonic imps here. When magicians learn magic, they not only need to do all kinds of magic to enhance their mastery and understanding of magic knowledge, but also sometimes study and dissect some magical beasts and other creatures to study the principle of the interaction between creatures and magical elements, and these demon imps are rare realm cannon materials for magicians.
After waving his hand to receive the ice cubes of these demon imps into his storage ring, Xu Yue walked towards the place where these demon imps appeared. Generally speaking, because of the harsh environment of the abyss, the creatures here, especially the low-level monsters, live very hard, and it is basically impossible to accumulate a large number of treasures in the lair like the dragon of Talumia.
But as a social creature of the abyss, the demon imp will always collect some materials unique to Hell. Maybe these materials can only be regarded as ordinary things for the demon imps living in the abyss, but they are good rare materials for Xu Yue.
After searching the neighborhood for a while, he finally found a small cave in a relatively low rubble. Feeling the fluctuations that emanated from the entrance of the cave similar to those of those demon imps, he was sure that this was the lair of the demon imps.
The cave is not high. Xu Yue needs to bow his head slightly when he goes in. The ground was hard rock, and the whole cavern felt as if it had been dug out violently. After casting a light, he walked towards the cave with his first shallow foot. There are some scattered debris on the floor of the cave. There were charred animal bones, broken furs, some dry plant branches, and so on.
After walking about ten meters inside, a space of about 30 square meters appeared in front of him. The space resembles an irregular square, with a pool of magma about two square meters in size on one corner, and fiery red magma is swirling in it.
On the other side of the space there is a haystack made of weeds, and many of those haystacks have blackened spots. But it didn't look like it was on fire, it looked like it was roasted.
"Light Flame Grass ......" Xu Yue said with a somewhat speechless expression after carefully looking at the weeds that were obviously piled up like haystacks for sleeping. This kind of light flame grass is also found in Talumia. But it's very rare. This magic plant not only has a high resistance to fire energy because it grows in the land of flames, but also this magic plant itself can be used to configure a very high-level fire magic potion, which can help warriors with fire attribute fighting energy to break through.
Look at the charred parts of the light-flame grass. Apparently because those demon imps crawled on top of it to sleep. As a result, the magic energy flames on his body were scorched for a long time, leaving scorched marks on these light flame grasses. To his pity, these light flame grasses have withered, although their resistance to fire energy is still there, but they can no longer be used to configure magic potions. However, seeing that these demon imps can use such a large piece of light flame grass as a bed, it is obvious that there should be a lot of light flame grass in this vicinity. Speaking of which, this kind of magic material, which is very rare in Talumia 6, is just a weed in the abyss, and can be found in a hot place.
Without rushing out to find fresh light flame grass, Xu Yue first used the staff in his hand to pull up the light flame grass pile, and the withered weeds and the debris piled up inside were constantly peeled off. In the end, it was flattened into a large piece. Demon imps don't have the same penchant for collecting treasures as dragons, but they will still take their lair back when they come across something useful. And this haystack is the only place in the entire nest where you can put something.
In the end, Xu Yue found three fist-sized obsidian, five thumb-sized magic crystals, and a purple skull of an unknown monster in the haystack. In the end, to his surprise, he actually appeared here five pieces of Lava Heart condensed by flame essence, this kind of magic material has always been used as a material for the production of high-level magic equipment, and the price of each piece is not less than 500,000 gold coins at auction, and there is no market.
The five Lava Hearts he found were a little higher in purity than the high-level Lava Hearts he had seen once before, and the price of the five Lava Hearts would not be less than three million gold coins if they were auctioned. Although he had a lot of wealth, he was still happy that he had just copied the lair of a group of demon imps. I think these demon imps who like the heat are using these five lava hearts as stoves, otherwise they won't be put in the haystack.
Satisfied with his gains, Xu Yue decided to use this demonic imp's lair as his first stronghold in the abyss. After changing the positioning coordinates on the boundary crossing gate to this cave, he took out some items to arrange the magic array and got busy throughout the cave.
In the abyss, a safe place to cherish one's life is very rare for low-level monsters, and that group of demon imps can occupy such a good cave, which may still rely on the strength of the group. However, Xu Yue couldn't stay in this cave for a long time, if he left, some low-level monsters around him would probably occupy this place without the suppression of the demonic ghosts, so he needed to arrange a barrier to isolate those low-level monsters.
First used magic to clean up all the debris in this space, but fortunately, the demon imp was covered in flames, so even if there was any dirt, it was almost burned by the flames on his body, so there was no strange smell in this cave. Take a few magic array items in your hand, then use magic to make some small holes in the space of the cave and the walls and ground of the entrance, then put the magic tools in your hand into the small holes, and then use spells such as fossils to mud to seal the hole and turn it back into rocks.
After tossing for about an hour, Xu Yue finished arranging the magic array needed for the entire cave. This magic circle is as high as level six, and not only has excellent defensive functions, but also hides the entrance to the cave. As long as he periodically interacts for a while and changes a few magic crystals to maintain the magic array, he can keep it forever.
When the magic array placed in the center of the cave space was stirred, a layer of white brilliance suddenly flashed on the walls and ground of the entire cave, and then these brilliances slowly faded. He walked to the outside of the cave and looked at it, and now what looked like it should have been the entrance of the cave had turned into an angular stone wall, and even the surrounding monsters did not want to be touched by these edges and corners.
Xu Yue was very satisfied with his new stronghold, and after looking around, he found a relatively high stone mountain and looked around. Since the Lair of the Eradication Demon Imp judged that there was a large amount of Light Flame Grass growing near here, he also planned to collect the last batch. These Flame Grasses, if large enough, are not worth much less than those five Lava Hearts.
Although it requires high temperatures to grow, it is not possible to use it anywhere. After judging according to his knowledge, he flew directly in one direction with a sixth-level flying magic.
It was not difficult to judge where the Light Flame Grass grows, and Xu Yue had a large number of this magic plant in a place similar to a plain. He looked at the wide, somewhat over-the-top light flame grass and couldn't help but have a headache, it would be terrible for him to collect it himself. Suddenly, he remembered something, took out Kenneth's Cabin from the storage ring, unfolded it on the ground, and then walked in and called out Alice, a female magic puppet who was specially used to collect magic materials.
"Gather the magic materials in this area and don't go too far. This is in the abyss, and you don't have much fighting power yourself, so if you don't have me, you're likely to be attacked by nearby monsters. Xu Yue said to Alice, who was carrying a large basket.
"Yes, my lord, I will collect and dispose of the collected magic materials. However, there are not enough pure containers in the hut, so I hope the adults can give me some. Alice said respectfully.
Xu Yue nodded, for him, the pure container was probably the most worthless high-grade item, and the thousands of pure containers stored in his storage ring were placed in Kenneth's hut, and Xu Yue simply walked around the area where the light flame grass grows. On the one hand, he had to look around to see if there were any low-level monsters hidden in case they hurt Alice, and on the other hand, he wanted to see if there were any other magical materials around that were worth collecting.
Not to mention, there are really some low-level monsters inhabiting the surrounding rocks and some strange-shaped plants, but the highest level of some monsters is only level five. Under the magic attack on the high-grade magic equipment that Xu Yue was carrying, none of these monsters could escape, and they were all killed. Xu Yue simply threw these monsters in front of Alice, after all, these monsters can also collect good biological materials in some places.
When looking for a fiery red pile of rocks, Xu Yue's eyes were suddenly attracted by a piece of ground in the pile of rocks. He looked at the ground that seemed to glow with a little golden light, and frowned as if he remembered something, but he didn't dare to confirm it. Eventually, he had to use his magic hand to clear the area of rubble, then crouched down and grabbed the golden-glowing soil from the ground and put it in front of his eyes to take a closer look.
As he observed, his breathing couldn't help but become heavy, and his eyes showed an expression of excitement. After carefully probing the soil in his hand with a probe-type magic, he excitedly said, "Oh my God, this thing is really this!" (to be continued......
