Chapter 288: Great Elf
The task of assistance was finally completed, Xia Yu and Xia Ziqi didn't want to hold Xia Jiang back, and their hard work was also recognized by the captain, and finally all four of them passed the test and entered the final collection test.
The so-called collection task is to go to the volcanoes to capture the fire spirit materials in the flame bubbles.
The fire spirit is a kind of fire attribute spirit weapon refining material, and Xia Jiang is also the first time to hear about this material, so he immediately made a detailed understanding of it and found that this kind of fire spirit is not only a fire attribute, but after their energy is exhausted, it will be transformed into an extreme ice attribute, that is, the ice crystal that he is most impressed with.
Those rumored thousand-year-old and 10,000-year-old ice crystals were all formed by the final cooling and transformation of the fire spirits.
And it is this versatility that makes the fire elves almost the last level of the test mercenary group's inclusion of newcomers, because this is also a contribution they make to the team, whoever catches more fire elves, then naturally can get the test pass.
And there is no doubt that there are several other test groups involved in this fire elf capture this time. A huge volcano can accommodate more than 100 people, and if you count it, there are just enough to accommodate three teams of newcomers.
The 11th regiment, to which Xia Jiang belonged, was fortunate to enter this time with the 10th and 12th test regiments.
Entering the huge volcano, since there is only one captain to lead the team, everyone must be extremely cautious, because if there is any accident during the period, if the captain can't rescue him, he will have to consider himself unlucky.
There were more than 30 people in total, and with the captain, they went deep into this huge volcano.
As soon as he entered it, Xia Jiang felt the rolling heat wave rising, so almost instantly he thought that if he wanted to capture the fire elves in it, he had to cultivate at least the peak of the late stage of the cultivator. Otherwise, unless you have some powerful magic weapons or protection, you can play with your life at any time.
It is also under the leadership of the team that everyone makes every effort to control the operation of the power of the bloodline, so that the falling figure becomes accurate, and the affection will not be affected by the rising fire waves, and at the same time, we must also pay attention to the bubbles.
After all, the key target here is bubbles.
However, this was not a problem for Xia Jiang, who calmly floated down and landed on the many huge floating rocks below, and began to scan the entire interior of the volcano on the way.
The entire interior of the volcano can be described as a huge magma pool, from which waves of fire are constantly tumbling, and only rarely will a huge wave of air fly out of a blackish fireball.
The so-called bubbles have to be distinguished from these fireballs, and some fireballs can't tell whether they are bubbles or not at the first time, so they have to rely on strong induction.
Even if he had just come out of the Xia Kingdom and seen the outside world, Xia Jiang could still conclude that there was definitely a profession in this world that specialized in capturing this fire spirit for a living.
Then, as the three teams came in one after another, under the leadership of their respective captains, they moved in the direction of the three corners and began to fix their respective positions.
I don't know if it's bad luck or not, Xia Jiang soon found that the area where their 11th regiment landed was almost all small pumice, while the other two teams were large pumice, which meant that their members could rely on each other and cooperate with each other, while most of their 11th regiment had to be scattered and couldn't take care of each other.
"Everyone be careful, just find a stable rock to settle on, and focus your spirit on the fire wave below, don't be sprayed by this fire wave head-on......" The captain also knew that their team's luck was bad and the environment was bad, so he hurriedly reminded him.
In this regard, Xia Jiang did not directly protect Xia Ziqi and them, but saw that they were all consciously vigilant and all of them used their abilities, and they didn't seem to want him Xia Jiang to worry about him.
Xia Jiang was naturally comforted when he saw this, so he concentrated more on finding the fire elf.
"Look, there's a huge wave of fire rolling in the center, and it looks like it's about to erupt, and at least one or two fire spirits have appeared!" It was also under the gaze of everyone that the captain immediately reminded him when he saw the boiling hot lava.
Although the distance was a little far, Xia Jiang still heard the voices of the other team's captains in this rolling wave of fire, which was also reminding their team members.
In this way, Xia Jiang immediately realized that there was probably a lot of competition between the teams, because if the area where the fire wave appeared was always in the center, it would inevitably cause the three teams to compete at the same time, and no matter who found the bubble first, it would definitely not be released to the other party.
Sure enough, at this moment, the huge tumbling qi wave in the center erupted violently.
Boom Boom
As the continuous tumbling continued, huge fireballs erupted from the magma that was almost melting for a qiē, heading towards the crater. And among these large number of fireballs, some exploded in the middle before they reached the highest point.
At this moment, all of them went all out to open their own defenses, first ensuring that they were not affected by the aftermath of the explosion.
Immediately afterward, I watched these explosions leave behind small agitated fireballs, which were extremely weird.
"It's now!" At this time, Xia Jiang heard the voice of a person in the team, who shouted loudly, but he took the lead in the direction of a few fireballs floating in the direction.
Now, many huge fireballs have not exploded, and this moment can be described as extremely dangerous, but this person can't care so much, in order to catch the fire spirit for the first time, he has not hesitated to take risks.
However, Xia Jiang also immediately noticed that this kid's cultivation is not low, he is actually in the middle stage of a major cultivator, and he looks at the golden light fluctuations around his body, and he also has a powerful magic weapon for self-defense.
Boom!
Immediately after, the next moment it rushed out, two huge fireballs also exploded, and the huge wave of fire instantly enveloped the person who was close.
It was only Xia Jiang who looked indifferently at this moment, and did not avoid the aftermath, and saw that in this explosion, that kid relied on the powerful magic weapon around him to resist, and without hesitation, he grabbed a strange small fireball that was just the size of his palm.
Woohoo -
Almost at the moment when he grabbed the small fireball, there was a small fireball next to him that suddenly exploded, and just listening to the sound, he felt that the power of this explosion was extremely small, that is, it was a bubble containing a fire spirit!
Xia Jiang saw that the kid who was closest could immediately perceive it, and he almost turned around and grabbed towards the fire spirit that broke away from the bubble, but it was a pity that the flame of the fire spirit was not a natural flame at all, and it seemed that after consciously breaking through the bubble, it suddenly drilled towards the western magma.
Xia Jiang also saw clearly at this moment, the fire elf was like the upper body of a human being, no wonder it was called an elf.
In this world, there are also creatures like elves, and they differ from humans in that they are almost indistinguishable from humans except that they are only one or two palms in size. They are found in the forests of the continent and possess extremely high and acute senses, which can hide from the dangers of humans.
At this moment, this fire elf is extremely similar to the elf, which is also an eye-opener for Xia Jiang.
And in Xia Jiang's opinion, the most important thing is that this little thing is obviously intelligent, they know how to avoid danger, and they also know that entering the magma below has natural benefits for them.
At this point in his thoughts, he also saw that the two teams on the opposite side had begun to prepare, and Xia Jiang naturally would not continue to watch like this.
Whoosh -
Xia Jiang lightly tapped the rock under his feet, and his figure shot out quickly, directly rushing towards the largest fireball.
The fireball hadn't exploded yet, and it should have been their main precautionary target, but Xia Jiang didn't, he took the initiative to rush towards the fireball, so just when everyone else was catching the small fireball, he pounced on the big fireball.
Gyro Spirit Circle!
Xia Jiang secretly sighed, and the blood gyroscope exploded with the spiritual power enchantment, directly wrapping and sealing this huge fireball, and the spiritual power invaded, directly investigating the fire elves that might exist in it.
Buzzing......
Under Xia Jiang's exploration, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and suddenly found that in this fireball, an extremely strong spiritual power seemed to be activated, but a powerful spiritual power erupted and was about to break through from his blockade.
This one......
Xia Jiang had to be surprised, because whether it was the size of the spiritual power he sensed or the reaction speed, it surpassed the form of the fire spirit just now, and he felt that it was simply a fire spirit that was one size bigger!
Seeing this, how could Xia Jiang take it lightly? He would immediately burst out with all his strength and directly use the power of devouring demons to forcibly devour the fireball!
The suffocating and deadly fire was absorbed into Xia Jiang's body, and if it was an ordinary person, it would be directly burned into slag, but the strength of Xia Jiang's bloodline immediately rushed to this flame, and it was violently entangled in the body.
At the same time, the target locked by Xia Jiang was also unreservedly displayed in front of him at this moment.
Elf!
As the captain of Xia Jiang's team, he immediately saw what Xia Jiang caught, and couldn't help but exclaim!
That's right, Xia Jiang is really lucky this time, although there is only one elf spiritual power fluctuation in this big fireball he chosen, it is a big elf!
The elves are naturally also fire elves, but their value is equivalent to no less than ten elves, and it is difficult for almost a volcano to appear in a whole month!
And at this moment, it was obvious that the captain on the opposite side also saw this scene, and they all looked sideways and stared at the elf with wide eyes.
For a newcomer, if you can catch a small fire elf in this mission, you can definitely pass the guò test and enter the next mercenary certification task, needless to say if you catch the big elf, you can even skip the certification task and directly grant the first-level mercenary.
However, direct awarding is not a good thing for newcomers, because there is a lack of a common experience opportunity, so it is redundant in the eyes of some captains. In particular, at this moment, the captain on the opposite side, when he saw the elf, instinctively felt that it should be something that could only be captured by their captain-level beings.
However, when the captain of Xia Jiang's side saw it, he couldn't help but be greedy, and he wanted to catch it himself, but he didn't do it, even if he knew that it would not be beneficial for him to let this newcomer catch him, at most he would be granted the status of a formal mercenary faster.
In this way, it was also under the surprised eyes of several captains that some team members saw it, and some people were immediately moved.
"Is that the rumored elf?"
"That's right, it was actually touched by the people of the 11th regiment, it was a tyrannical thing!"
"Let's go, you and I will join forces to wreak havoc and snatch that thing!"
Suddenly, within the range of the 12th regiment, two people scattered on a medium-sized stone block looked at each other and exchanged ideas, and they made up their minds to find a way to snatch the big elf over.
After all, the environment here is chaotic, the fireballs are rolling above, the explosions are continuous, and there is also magma tumbling below, and there are fireballs erupting again at any time, and the sound is also rumbling, and it is normal for any accidents to occur in this kind of place, so even if the guild stipulates that the test team is not allowed to fight with each other, the snatching plan that the two of them conceived at this time is not impossible.
