Ding Ding Ding ~

Sure enough, after a few knocks, the pile of stones gradually disappeared, and Zhu Yan also received a system prompt;

System: If you mine successfully, you will obtain "Fire Spirit Stone (2)" and obtain 2 points of mining proficiency;

When you open the package, two crystals emitting red light all over overlap, occupying one of the boxes in the package;

"Name: Fire Spirit Stone, Material, Attribute, when forging weapons, adding Fire Spirit Stones has a certain chance to add fire damage effects to the weapon; when forging armor, adding Fire Spirit Stones has a certain chance to add flame resistance effects to the armor;"

It turned out to be an ore of forging additives. Zhu Yan nodded, closed the package, and picked up the skill book that exploded on the ground;

"Name: Skill Book Pounce, Item Attributes: Druid Skill Book, Consumption of this Skill Book allows the Druid profession to master the pounce skills; usage requirements: Cheetah form;"

"Skill name: pounce, advance in the form of a cheetah. When landing, it causes 200 (+0.5* intelligence) magic damage to surrounding enemies; consumes magic value 20 points, skill cooldown time 2.5 seconds, maximum pounce distance of 3 meters."

Zhu Yan smiled slightly and slapped his right hand on the skill book. A white light from Huawei disappeared in the skill book. Zhu Yan's skill column saw a skill "pounce" and could only be used in the cheetah state;

"Equipment name: Lava Ember Belt (Green), Leather Belt, Equipment effect: Defense 102-159, Strength +8, Intelligence +10, Flame Resistance +12, Equipment requirements: Level 10;"

The dropped green quality equipment turned out to be a piece of equipment that Zhu Yan could use now, and it was much better than his current belt attributes, so I decided to replace it with it;

Returning to the cave behind, he sat down and took out his consumables and slowly recovered. He could not stay in the cave for a long time and would continue to lose blood. Zhu Yan's current flame resistance is too low to resist the temperature in the cave. If he could collect some equipment to increase flame resistance, he could enter the cave without damage.

With his health regained full, Zhu Yan came to the entrance of the cave and directed the dark bird of prey to pounce on a lava giant, but he slowly retreated into the cave;

Boom boom boom boom ~

The lava giant rushed over to chase the dark birds of prey with heavy steps;

Zhu Yan smiled and turned into a cheetah, slowly disappearing...

After more than two hours, Zhuyan's level had been increased to 39% of level 12, and his mining proficiency increased by nearly forty points. More than 30 fire spirit stones, seven green pieces and a blue-quality shield were added in the package;

"Item name: Lava Giant's Guardian (Blue), Shield, Equipment Effect: Defense 259-387, Strength +10, Physical strength +15, Flame resistance +34, Defense level +3, Block success rate +18%. When you are injured, there is a certain chance to cause 30-45 fire damage to the target; Equipment requirements: Level 10;"

This is the most valuable piece of blue equipment dropped by the Lava Giant. MT equipment has always been very popular and the price remains high, especially breastplate, shield, weapons, etc. Once it appears in the auction house, it will make people bid crazy.

Among the remaining green quality equipment, Zhu Yan picked out a few green quality breastplate, shoulder pads, cloaks and leggings to equip himself;

"Equipment name: Lava Ash Breastplate (green), Cortical Breastplate, Equipment effect: Defense 205-255, Strength +10, Intelligence +8, Flame Resistance +21, Equipment requirements: Level 10;"

"Equipment name: Lava Ember Legguard (green), leather Legguard, Equipment effect: Defense 121-179, Physical strength +8, Intelligence +8, Flame resistance +18, Equipment requirements: Level 10;"

"Equipment name: Lava Ember Cloak (Green), Cloak, Equipment effect: Defense 198-119, Intelligence +10, Physical strength +12, Flame resistance +9, Equipment requirements: Level 10;"

"Equipment name: Lava Ember Shoulderguards (green), leather Shoulderguards, Equipment effect: Defense 130-182, Strength +8, Defense +10, Flame Resistance +22, Equipment requirements: Level 10;"

These pieces of equipment are the same prefix as the belt made by Zhu Yan’s first piece, and all of them have increased flame resistance. The production styles of several pieces of equipment are very similar, and they have a sense of being integrated when worn. If it is not for the suit attributes, it is easy to misunderstand that this is a series of suits;

After changing into these pieces of equipment, Zhu Yan's flame resistance increased by more than 80 points. Even if he stood in the cave, he would not continue to lose blood.

The lava giant in the cave has been swept away. The deeper the cave, the higher the temperature in the cave. Zhu Yan stepped on the cave, and a slight heat came from his feet. If he hadn't changed a few pieces of equipment, he might have lost blood more severely now;

Follow the terrain that is unfolded on the map, continue to explore inward;

At the deepest part of the cave, there are many stone houses built with black rocks and fences. The surrounding rock walls have been hollowed out. At first glance, there are dozens of small caves. In the cave, you can vaguely see stone beds, extinguished bonfires, and stone pots built on the bonfires;

The caves on the surrounding walls look very crude, while the many stone houses in the center look much more refined. In front of each stone house, there are stone pillars of different heights and sizes. The most conspicuous place at the top of the stone pillar is carved with a burning flame. The carved lines are rough and simple, and each line is painted with red pigment. At first glance, the flame on the stone pillar seems to be burning;

In the center of the stone house, there is a stone temple worth more than ten meters high, which looks solemn and solemn, and it feels very inconsistent with the surrounding stone caves;

This place turned out to be a complete tribe, but it was strange that the people living here didn't know where they went, and the entire tribe was empty and there was no one.

Zhu Yan didn't believe that this was the place where lava giants lived. The giants were tall, more than four meters tall, and could not get into those stone houses, let alone the stone caves dug out of the surrounding rock walls.

Where is this place, why do you live here, what happened here, why there is no one, is it all dead, or has it all moved elsewhere?

Zhu Yan frowned and thought while searching.

"Hey, there are fire spirit grasses here too!" Zhu Yan walked past a stone house and saw from the open door that there were a bouquet of more than a dozen fire spirit grasses on the stone table inside.

When he walked into the stone house, Zhu Yan found that the stone table turned out to be an altar with a small stone statue on it, and the bouquet of flowers tied up by the fire spirit grass seemed to be a sacrifice dedicated to the statue;

Zhu Yan touched the statue of the god and found that it was just an ordinary item with no abnormalities. He picked up the bunch of Fire Spirit Grass. Zhu Yan found that because of the long time, many of these dozen Fire Spirit Grass had lost their moisture and dried up and broke, and could no longer be used. Only three or four of them still retained their complete form and belonged to second-level herbs;

Zhu Yan carefully drew out several well-preserved fire spirit herbs and put them in the package. At this time, the number of fire spirit herbs in his package had reached twenty. Both tasks received by the Mercenary Federation Union were completed. The experience of rewarding these two tasks was rich. If Zhu Yan could receive the experience reward at this time and increase the level by one level by half, it would be no problem at all.

Zhu Yan found a few fire spirit herbs in the stone house, and he didn't want to let go of the dozen stone houses left, so he searched one by one.

The decorations in these stone houses are different. The only thing that is that each stone house enshrines the same statue of the gods. It seems that this place has been abandoned for a long time, and many tributes on the altar are useless. Zhu Yan finally found only a few fire spirit stones, some wild beast furs of good quality. These furs can be used as sewing materials and can be made into equipment. These materials are worth more than a dozen gold coins. If others can obtain these materials without spending any cost, they will be happy to jump up, but Zhu Yan was a little dissatisfied and his eyes couldn't help but fall on the tall stone hall in the center of the tribe.

"If there are no more valuable items here, then just go back to the city!" Zhu Yan thought to himself.

The last stone hall did not disappoint Zhu Yan. As soon as he entered the door, his eyes first fell on the tall statue of the god that occupied almost half of the hall;

The statue is more than ten meters high, and the highest point has touched the top of the stone hall. Its feet are on the ground. The whole body seems to be carved from a complete fire spirit stone, and the whole body emits a faint red light. The statue's face is lifelike, staring at the entrance of the stone hall. Zhu Yan, who was standing at the door of the stone hall, couldn't help but shivered. The statue's gaze seemed to be locked on him. Being stared at such a tall statue made him feel like he had no way to heaven and no way to enter the ground;

Such a strange statue of god had already shocked Zhu Yan, but what surprised him even more was that a translucent crystal the size of a fist was enshrined in the center of a altar in front of the statue.

This crystal is very similar to the fire spirit stone, but its color is purer than the fire spirit stone. A ball of tangible and qualitative flame wraps the crystal. The flames dance, making the crystal look like a burning heart, beating constantly;

The most surprising thing is that this crystal is actually broken, and it is obviously broken around the cross-section, and the color is slightly dimmer than elsewhere.

This crystal floated out of thin air in the void more than one foot from the altar, making people unable to look away when they saw it;

"No matter what it is, this must be an amazing item, the grade must be very high, it's great, I'm getting rich this time!" Zhu Yan was surprised, and he had the urge to grab it;

Zhu Yan walked forward curiously. There were no monsters around him, so he was afraid that there would be some mechanism, so he walked carefully.

The more precious the item is, the less easy it is to obtain. Now it seems that just take two steps and you can grab the item in your hand with just reaching out, but who knows what will happen if you take another step forward?

Maybe the next step will lead to endless flames rising under your feet, or countless poisonous arrows will be shot from all directions, or a huge rock may fall on your head and smash him into meat sauce;

Fortunately, none of this happened. Zhu Yan walked to the altar, breathed a sigh of relief, and reached out to hold the broken crystal in his hand.
