Global Mining

The monitor lizard was chasing after me like a burning car, at an alarming speed!

Dachun turned around and ran, and his speed was even more astonishing - yes, he was an expert runner, a marathon beginner level 10, and still had 300 stamina points!

Soon, Dachun put away the distance and calmed down. One thing is certain now. The reason why this boss emerged from the river and gnawed on fallen rocks must be because there are edible minerals in the rocks! Can you eat it yourself? You must take a bite and try it!

So, take advantage of the speed and go back to grab the ores.

Dachun circled back to the place where the stone fell, and suddenly found that it had chewed out the core of the stone, which looked like an egg yolk!

Dachun went down with two hoes on both sides, digging out two big lumps - the system prompted: Congratulations! Your master-level mining technique successfully unearthed "Demon Sulfur", and your proficiency is +10.

——Demon Sulfur: An unknown mineral that seems to have abundant energy.

He actually increased his master level proficiency! And it’s still in powder form, so please eat it first.

——System prompt: You are not a hell creature and cannot be eaten.

Damn, try a hammer! ! Is it possible that the two little ones can be eaten directly? But they died!

Seeing that the monitor lizard was about to catch up, Da Chun was heartbroken. I can't eat, and you have to be hungry too!

He seizes the time and digs out two big lumps with his hoe twice, then gets up and runs away.

Perhaps because the monitor lizard was distressed that its food had been robbed, it actually stopped chasing it this time and just dug its head into the stone to gnaw on it.

How can that work?

Dachun picked up a stone, and I threw it with the advanced throwing technique—pop! Hitting the monitor lizard right in the face, sparks flew everywhere, making it immune to damage!

Without breaking the defense, the monitor lizard ignored Dachun.

That’s because the stone isn’t big enough!

Dachun found another stone as big as a football, rushed forward and smashed it hard - bang! "Throwing damage -13!"

But a flying spark still drifted far away to Dachun and "fire rebounded -10"!

Damn it! This is simply not something that can be fought in close combat!

The monitor lizard finally got angry, and Dachun turned around and ran away. And began to summarize the damage caused by the blow just now. Although it is not high, the basic attack of my trumpet is 0! Therefore, on the premise that this trumpet does not have any professional attack skills, and when the opponent can splash fire, throwing is the only skill that can be used in combat, and it is based on a high load-bearing capacity. It can throw heavy and far. You can use a hoe to dig out rocks anywhere and use them as ammunition. It is extremely cost-effective. This skill needs to be practiced!

Then Dachun circled back to the fallen stone again, and dug twice with the hoe again, but this time he only dug out a lump and it was gone.

Finished digging? Therefore, this falling stone is just a little bit of sulfur and cannot withstand a few hoes from a master.

The monitor lizard ran back and gnawed on the rocks a few more times, and Dachun also took the opportunity to stop in the distance to rest and regain his strength.

The monitor lizard realized that it really had no mine, so it started to chase after Dachun again, and there was no sign of stopping at all.

Is this going to consume energy with the Boss? Dachun is a little panicked! The boss has no energy anymore. You can stop and rest, or even go back to the river directly. There is nothing you can do about it. But I don’t have enough energy anymore, so I’ll eat one less mushroom!

We can only try to reduce the load as much as possible. We must not throw away sulfur to make it cheaper, so we can only throw 4 hoes - huh?

When he thought of throwing a hoe, Dachun had an idea and threw the hoe at the monitor lizard with his backhand. The hoe whizzed and spun out - bang! Hit the head with a hoe spike "-46!"

——System prompt: Congratulations! You are extremely intelligent, and your module combination skills have successfully integrated the master-level ore hoe proficiency, the effect of advanced throwing, and advanced throwing to level 2! Achievements obtained: Weight +1, Stamina +1, Hit rate +1%.

Damn, this hurts far more than throwing a stone!

So as a master miner, of course, I have to use my two most advanced skills to throw the hoe! I have 4 hoes that are durable enough. After throwing them for a round, I can pick them up again and throw them again. It's a complete defeat!

But the next moment, the monitor lizard shook its head, and a row of "Self-recovery +10, +10, +10" popped out on its head.

It was full of blood instantly!

Dachun felt deeply desperate. He was not afraid of the boss having too much blood, but he was afraid that the boss would regain his blood! Is it still considered a trial if there is no chance at all? Or is it that if you take advantage of the opportunity to charge a group of skills, it won't be a loss even if you die?

While he was wandering helplessly, the whistling red light of flying rocks came from above his head again. Dachun subconsciously hid away - wait!

Dachun suddenly realized that if I deliberately stood at the landing point of the flying rocks and waited for the giant lizard to chase me, or simply threw sulfur at the landing point as bait, and then ran away immediately, the flying rocks would just hit it - it would be possible Can't you just kill it?

Theoretically possible! But the operation is extremely difficult, and you have to be lucky enough to encounter flying rocks that are big enough and in the right position - no, no, with the rocks staring at me with malicious intent, the chance of encountering them should be very high!

So before encountering it, think of it as practicing your skills first, don’t rush!

After clarifying his thoughts, Dachun's confidence greatly increased. While continuing to swing the hoe, he paid attention to the shadow pattern of the flying stones...

……

Dachun and the giant lizard circled around for half an hour. The advanced throwing technique and the intermediate module combination also complemented each other and reached level 4. They also basically figured out the pattern of the shadow of the flying stone and the landing point. But for older youths like Dachun, it is a bit too much to perform such high-intensity operations that cannot make mistakes for a long time, but they can only persevere!

The long-awaited boulder has finally appeared - don't miss this opportunity!

Dachun saw the opportunity, estimated the location of the landing point, stopped, and dropped the brimstone.

Seeing that the monitor lizard and the boulder were chasing after him at the same time, Dachun ate a mushroom and escaped at full speed at the expert level!

--boom! ! There was a loud noise, and a ball of light flew over as the smoke and dust scattered.

——System prompt: Congratulations! You kill the Hidden Boss Lava Lizard and upgrade to level 10, with attack +9, life +9, load +9, stamina +9, and you get the trophy "Lava Fire Crystal Core".

Lava Fire Crystal Core: Artifact-level material, Balrog promotion prop. After opening, a flame barrier can be activated to absorb fire damage and store it as fire energy, and transform the user within the barrier into a fire demon physique. The current flame energy is 100 points, and each point maintains the barrier for 1 second.

——System prompt: Congratulations! Your marathon skills have been successfully upgraded to Intermediate Level 1, with +1 weight and +1 physical strength.

……

Won!

This feeling of working hard to succeed makes Dachun extremely happy! After leveling up to 9 levels in a row, the experience content of this boss is much higher than that of the Dog King and the Fish King combined, and it has even exceeded the marathon intermediate level!

Check out the only trophy and you’ll find out! This trial is actually about transforming and advancing into a Balrog. There are two main types of demons: fire demons and blood demons. The non-mainstream ones are various shadow demons, corpse demons, ice demons, poison demons, nightmares and the like.

In fact, compared to the mainstream mainstream products, non-mainstream demons are equivalent to hidden races. Their individual strength is actually more unique, otherwise they would have been exterminated by the mainstream long ago.

Anyway, Balrog will be Balrog. The advantage of the mainstream race is that it has great power and resources, which is conducive to rapid improvement, and what my trump account wants is rapid improvement.

Dachun tried to activate the crystal core, and a stream of red air covered his body.

——System prompt: The flame barrier expands, your fire resistance is increased by 30%, and 30 points of fire damage are absorbed. The current flame energy is 99 points.

Damn, 30 points absorbed! The scavenger is only immune to 10 points of poison!

Ordinary fire damage is actually the same as poison damage. It is a continuous multi-stage attack. Absorbing 30 points is quite impressive. As for explosive flames, they deal a huge amount of damage at one time, and 30 points is far from enough.

Looking at the rapidly decreasing flame energy like a countdown, Dachun immediately plunged one foot first into the magma river. Rows of "Absorb 30" pop out, and they really don't lose a drop of blood! At the same time, the flame energy is no longer consumed and will soon return to 100!

Damn it, it really deserves to be at the level of an artifact! Is this the rhythm of practicing swimming in a lava river? Of course, this is probably related to the current physical constitution of the spirit body. If it were an ordinary physical body, it would be impossible to bathe in lava no matter what artifact it was.

Try stepping in with two feet in spring! Then it continued to go deep and submerged to the knees, but once it reached here, the flame energy began to be consumed.

Dachun immediately retreated, and the flame energy stopped consuming and began to replenish.

understood! This barrier has not yet reached the level of free swimming. Once more parts enter the magma, the barrier will consume a lot and it will be difficult to make ends meet.

However, it does not affect your swimming plan. You can practice swimming for tens of seconds first, and then immediately return to the shore to recharge and recover.

Dachun immediately tried it, and sure enough, his swimming proficiency soared, but his physical consumption also increased tremendously. The resistance was so thick that it was not comparable to ordinary water, and the few mushrooms he brought with him were simply not enough.

No, it’s not time to deliberately practice swimming yet. But you can practice foot soaking, just submerge your feet here at the knees to ensure that the crystal core is not consumed, and see how the crystal core can transform the body.

After soaking for about five minutes, what is supposed to come finally comes - the system prompts: Your feet have been transformed by lava fire, and the basic fire resistance is +0.1%.

Damn it! It only increases by 0.1 in five minutes. You can’t afford this hunger level! At this kind of progress, I'm afraid I can only find a magma mine and slowly soak in it and automatically hang up.

This kind of safe mining area can only be found in volcanic caves, so the ultimate goal of this trial area is to find the cave mining area, and you should go up the mountain!

But there is another possibility. Will there be only one Boss in such a large scene? If we kill more similar bosses and collect more crystal nuclei like this, how many times can our cultivation speed be increased? The most important thing is that in order to kill this boss, I have summarized the precious rules of flying rocks. It would be a pity to use them once.

Just as he thought, there was another roar in the sky, and a huge boulder trailing a yellow trail flew towards the other side of the mountain.

Yellow means there is sulfur. If there is a Boss, it will definitely attract the Boss to appear! So I decided to go find the boulder.
