197: Lingxu was startled! He was about to go on an adventure!

In the Mist World, somewhere.

Crash!

Ling Xu, who was currently mining ore, trembled. He suddenly turned his head to look: "What was that?"

The surrounding lava was flowing rapidly, and the intense heat caused large amounts of high-temperature steam to rise around him.

Ling Xu cautiously left the sea of lava and stood on a shattered meteor fragment.

After observing for a while, he finally lowered his head to look at his wrist.

He saw that the jade bracelet worn on his wrist was actually covered in numerous cracks.

Ling Xu froze, and then cold sweat poured down his forehead: "Damn it! The Demon-Slaying Bracelet is shattered! There are demonic creatures nearby! Hurry and leave! Hurry and leave! Saving my life is the priority!"

As he spoke.

He put the resources he had just collected into his storage pouch.

Just as he was about to enter the sea of lava.

Crash!

Another crisp sound rang out.

He saw the head of a lava monster with ram horns and flames circling its round head slowly emerging from the lava directly in front of him.

Ling Xu first trembled, then took out a jade token and glanced at the monster. He couldn't help but curse under his breath, quickly raising his hand to crush a blue glowing rune stone.

"Damn it! A Level 25 Abyssal Fiend! Dammit! I'm only Level 16, how could I possibly run into such a high-level monster!"

Buzz!

The next second, he was teleported back to the Shelter.

After returning, Ling Xu shouted curses: "Damn it! I wasted an extremely precious positioning teleportation rune stone! This was a life-saving item, damn it..."

As he spoke, he looked toward his panel.

He saw Su Lie's message, and when he saw the hk416 automatic rifle, Ling Xu was shocked and exclaimed: "Are you kidding me! I'm still in the primitive cold weapon era, and Boss Su Lie is already using firearms?"

This sparked an impulse in his heart.

When he retrieved the cabbage and spinach from the order in the Trading Center.

He was shocked again: "Holy crap! These cabbage leaves are half a person tall? How big is the cabbage? Holy moly! How does this thing taste? It can't be too tough, right? A few leaves weigh 50 catties?"

"Is this thing made of iron?"

"F*ck! This spinach is 40 centimeters tall... What? And this spinach isn't even a whole head, at least 5 layers of leaves have already been peeled off the outside?"

"Why are the vegetables Su Lie grows so magnificent? It's simply shocking!"

"No way! I have to show this off!"

With that, Ling Xu entered the Chat Group and described the cabbage and spinach he had traded for from Su Lie.

Immediately, a large number of Survivors posted replies.

"Holy crap! Is that real or fake?"

"Awesome! As expected of Boss Su Lie! Boss's things are always big!"

"Younger Sister loves these kinds of vegetables the most! Su Lie is simply the lover of my dreams!"

...Su Lie was unaware of this.

However.

A large number of private message notifications appeared in his line of sight.

This made Su Lie, who had just finished Strengthening the flame collector, frown.

He still checked the private messages.

He saw.

"Boss Su Lie! How are you selling your cabbage? How much does one head weigh?"

"Boss Su Lie! I need big spinach! How are you selling your spinach? How much does one head weigh?"

"Boss! Truly a Boss! I admire you! I admire you! This little brother is completely prostrate with admiration!"

"Boss! Do you have a Talent for growing things large? Could you help me out? My brother is too small, I request enlargement!"

...All sorts of private messages flooded in.

Su Lie only read a few of them before entering the Chat Group: "So that's what happened! That fellow Ling Xu really does make a fuss over nothing!"

Following that.

He muted the Chat Group and focused on the flame collector.

A panel appeared in his line of sight.

[flame collector: Red God-level Quality;

Flame Collection Quantity: 0 / Infinite;

Collects 1 unit of flame per second, no consumption.

Special Effect, Free Collection: The flame collector can automatically collect flames of various qualities and store them classifiedly in the collector's flame storage device.

Special Effect, Crisis Warning: During the collection process, when danger appears near you, the flame collector will issue an alarm. Warning range is 100 meters.

Special Effect, Flame Repair: When the flame collector malfunctions and requires repair, the collected flames can be consumed to repair the flame collector.

Special Effect, Stabilizer: The flame storage compartment of the flame collector possesses permanent stability performance; no matter what collision or damage occurs, it will not lead to flame leakage or flame burst phenomena.

Special Effect, Flame Identification: The flame collector can determine the quality of the flame by the color of the crystal conversion structure when absorbing it.]

"Good! Good! Good! During this resource collection trip, I can use this opportunity to see the difference between the flames collected by the flame collector and the flame orb converted by the Thunder Fire Hall!"

As he spoke, Su Lie looked up at the Thunder Fire Hall located on top of the main structure of the Shelter.

He saw that the Thunder Fire Hall was still radiating golden light.

A large amount of surrounding fire energy was continuously being absorbed and converted by the Thunder Fire Hall.

Su Lie put away the flame collector, returned to the Shelter to prepare, and when he came out again, he had summoned a Little Skeleton from the mine.

When he arrived at the Cold Ice Spring, he pretended to be confused and muttered: "Younger Sister Yue Ling said that my Little Skeleton will be unable to leave the Shelter after 12 o'clock, or it will surely die! What exactly is going on?"

As he spoke.

He deliberately slowed his pace.

Unfortunately!

He failed to draw out Yue Ling.

After pausing for a few seconds, Su Lie quickly walked toward the entrance of the Shelter.

Creak!

Su Liya directed the Little Skeleton to open the gate of the Shelter.

Outside the gate was a sea of orange-red lava.

The amethyst planted by the Little Skeleton beneath the Shelter wall only had its tip exposed in the sea of lava.

Su Lie turned his head and scanned, finding that new crystal clusters had begun to grow on some of the amethyst, which made him relieved: "It seems amethyst is not afraid of high-temperature lava! That's good news!"

As he spoke.

He took out the Eye of Identification and aimed it at the lava outside.

[Sea of Lava: Temperature 3000 degrees Celsius, Depth 50 centimeters.

Special Power: Abyssal Demonic Energy.

Note: Abyssal Demonic Energy can affect the minds of living beings. Prolonged contact can easily lead to mutation into Abyssal Fiends.]

"The Little Skeleton has the Holy Light Talent and is inherently unafraid of evil demonic power! Plus, they are all god-tier Little Skeleton, and their bones are naturally resistant to high temperatures. This lava shouldn't pose any danger to them! Could it be the air?"

Su Lie aimed the Eye of Identification at the air again.

This time, the Eye of Identification failed to Identify anything.

[mist rule cannot be Identified!]

"Forget it! I should just try it!"

Seeing that this method was unsuccessful, Su Lie immediately ordered the Little Skeleton beside him to go outside.

The Little Skeleton already knew Su Lie's plan, but it was exceptionally happy and showed no resistance whatsoever.

Splash! Crash!

The Little Skeleton walked out of the Shelter's entrance and entered the sea of lava.

1 second later.

The Little Skeleton suddenly trembled, and it merely turned its head for a look.

Crash!

The Little Skeleton's bones instantly turned into dust.

A flash of spiritual light flickered and disappeared into the air.

A light flashed on the golden monument inside the Shelter, and a mark of a Little Skeleton appeared on its back.

This indicated that the Little Skeleton that had just gone out to probe had died.

Su Lie stared in shock at the sea of lava before him and muttered doubtfully: "Why did that happen?"

At this moment, Su Liya reported seriously: "Master! Number 2331 said before it died that it felt the entire world was pressing down on it!"

"Hmm?"

Su Lie's eyelid twitched, and he became hesitant.

Should he leave the Shelter or not?

Judging from the information he already possessed.

Survivors who possessed Fire Talents or professional Skills had already gone out exploring.

The fact that they were fine didn't mean Su Lie would be fine.

But this kind of thing couldn't be decided based on guesswork.

After all, he only had one life.

Su Lie turned around and walked toward the Cold Ice Spring.

Before he could get close.

He heard Yue Ling's voice ring out beside his ear: "The core of the Blazing Flame Disaster is neither high temperature nor the transformation of the earth into a world of lava, nor is it the meteor shower and steam! It is the Abyss!"

"The Little Skeleton belongs to the Holy Skeleton clan, an anomaly among the Undead Race. Its inherent aura is antagonistic to the Abyss, so when the Little Skeleton goes outside, it suffers oppression from the world power of the entire Blazing Flame Disaster!"

"In this environment, all Holy Spirits, or pets and servants possessing Holy Power but whose level has not reached Level 50, are forbidden from going outside! Otherwise, they will surely die!"

"You, however, do not have such restrictions!"

Hearing Yue Ling's explanation.

Su Lie suddenly understood. Thinking of the demons connected to the Abyss, he whispered: "Could there be demons in this sea of lava?"

"This information is immensely valuable! I shouldn't have told you, but I smelled the scent of the Vampire race's food, the blood elf heart, on you!"

Yue Ling immediately stated her purpose: "According to the principle of equivalent exchange, you need to give me 100 blood elf heart!"

"Thank you!"

Su Lie nodded; he did not haggle.

If he had to figure out this information on his own, it definitely wouldn't have been easy to obtain.

100 blood elf heart was a worthwhile price for the information.

It was truly worth it!

As he spoke.

Su Lie took out the blood elf heart and placed them on the ground.

Crash!

He had just gotten up when he heard a crisp sound coming from the Cold Ice Spring.

Looking up.

Su Lie realized that Yue Ling had already taken the blood elf heart, causing his heart to sink: "When did that happen? I didn't sense it at all!"

He quickly regained his composure.

When he returned to the front of the Shelter entrance.

Su Lie instructed Su Liya: "You all stay here and guard well! You can arrange for the Black Tortoise Army to help me with early warnings! If enemies appear, I will deal with them personally! If I cannot defeat them, then you may step in!"

"Yes!" Su Liya responded seriously.

Su Lie then walked out of the Shelter. As he left, he glanced at his personal panel.

He saw that his experience value had jumped from 827 to 951 points.

The 124 experience points were obtained through the special effect of the Solid Wood Bed.

Crash!

The moment Su Lie stepped out the door, a flash of firelight appeared on his body.

The passive Skill, Fire Element Technique, automatically activated, helping Su Lie isolate the surrounding Blazing Flame and the sea of lava from his body.

From a distance, Su Lie looked as if he was wrapped in a ball of flame.

"Huh? The Fire Element Technique is really good. Walking through a sea of lava that reaches 3000 degrees Celsius, I don't feel any burning sensation at all. Moreover, the surrounding air has clearly been burned away, making it extremely sparse, and it must contain harmful gases like carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and so on..."

Su Lie sensed his surroundings as he walked.
