The only peak appeared in the vast expanse of the Boundless Land, but what could it signify?
Yi Tianchen smiled helplessly; this was clearly not something he could understand immediately. His sole responsibility at the moment was to find the so-called Rebirth Sea, obtain Earth's Essence, and leave as quickly as possible, so that the long-sealed Dragon's Roar could once again shine with its former brilliance.
Taking a deep breath, Yi Tianchen looked down at the Night Demon Hunters surrounding Stone Mountain. Due to the height, those Night Demon Hunters now resembled a pack of pups, densely wandering at the foot of the mountain, filling a vast area.
Not wanting to dwell on them, Yi Tianchen glanced around. The place was filled with jagged rocks, some protruding, some recessed, standing upright or slanted, each displaying its own form.
Then, Yi Tianchen began to climb over Stone Mountain along a nonexistent path. Carefully feeling his way forward, sweat dripped onto the rocks below, sizzling from the geothermal heat and producing a series of crackling sounds.
Despite being nearly a hundred meters above ground, the rocks beneath him remained scorching hot. Low damage numbers popped up continuously above his head, one after another floating into the air, quickly forming a significant line of blood.
Fortunately, he ultimately survived; that was what mattered most!
To avoid being distracted by the heat waves, Yi Tianchen shifted his focus and began humming a tuneless melody. However, as he stepped down, his mind suddenly went blank. Before he could finish the last note, it transformed into a desperate scream.
He heard a crisp cracking sound from beneath his feet as he fell into an unknown space resembling a furnace, with only the chilling sound of wind swirling around him.
In an instant, Yi Tianchen's heart raced!
"Whoosh... bang bang..."
After a brief free fall, he soon made contact with the rocks below.
Thanks to Yi Tianchen's ability to remain calm in this peculiar situation where he was suspended between heaven and earth, he managed to pull out a bottle of Fourth-Level Life Potion and down it, restoring his Vitality back to 1000 points.
"Bang..."
Suddenly feeling a sharp pain all over his body, Yi Tianchen's vision brightened as he finally landed safely. He quickly checked his Health Points—quite a lot remained; he still had over 500 left! It was nothing short of a miracle!
"Ha... Surviving a great disaster surely brings future blessings!"
After savoring the moment and resting, once the potion's cooldown was over, Yi Tianchen regained 1000 Vitality, and he finally had a bit of color in his face.
Standing up, Yi Tianchen's first impression was that the temperature here was several degrees warmer than outside. It was very likely due to these special conditions that the rocks here felt somewhat soft. Otherwise, after his fall, he wouldn't have been left with over 500 Vitality.
After silently praising his luck, Yi Tianchen began to take notice of his surroundings!
A quick glance revealed that the rocks were all a uniform fiery red, and the space was relatively small; it seemed to be a cave. Looking more closely, indeed, it was a cave!
Looking up, the opening he fell through was at least fifteen meters above him, making it utterly impossible to climb back up.
However, as the old saying goes, "When you arrive, make yourself comfortable." Yi Tianchen thought, perhaps this misstep was a blessing in disguise?
After comforting himself, Yi Tianchen pulled out his weapon, Rage of the Wilderness. At the edge where the red light spread out, he discovered a spiral pathway leading downward, with waves of heat surging from below. With that thought in mind, Yi Tianchen moved downwards toward an entirely unknown world.
Clearly, this was Yi Tianchen's only path. Of course, if he chose to stay put and wait for New Year’s, he wouldn’t have to go anywhere!
As he walked slowly forward, Yi Tianchen looked down from the rocky pathway; it was deep and bottomless. A hundred meters below him lay nothing but a sea of fiery mist.
Taking a deep breath, Yi Tianchen felt quite astonished. Although it was unbearably hot here, the air circulation remained normal. After walking for nearly five minutes, he had covered about three to four hundred meters. Aside from his legs feeling slightly sore and being drenched in sweat, he had no other adverse reactions.
It should be noted that by conservative estimates, Yi Tianchen was already two to three hundred meters underground!
Continuing for a few more minutes, when Yi Tianchen looked down again, it remained just as before—a vast expanse of fiery red with nothing visible.
However, not far ahead of him appeared a peculiar little creature!
These little creatures were only the size of a puppy, with two antenna-like appendages on their heads and eight slender legs supporting their fiery red bodies, which resembled the color of rock. They moved with remarkable speed.
As Yi Tianchen took a closer look, he was momentarily stunned; these little beings were actually ants—puppy-sized ants!
He quickly stepped back a few paces. Even though in reality Yi Tianchen could crush countless ants with one hand, the ants that appeared here were certainly not ordinary.
He steadied himself, took a deep breath, and activated the Identification Technique—
Magma Fire Ant: Elite Monster (Beast)
Level: 30
Magical Attack: 450-850
Defense: 300
Health Points: 10500/10500
Magic Points: 6500/6500
Skills: 【Flame Devour Lv-3】【Fire Blast Lv-3】
Note: This is a variant of the ant species that has survived after being scorched by the Earth's core flames. Having adapted to this scorching environment, they have become incredibly formidable. However, their reproductive capabilities have been severely weakened; although a queen ant can produce thousands of eggs in a day, the survival rate is less than 10%. Nevertheless, their growth speed is astonishing; within four hours, they can gain powerful Fire Magic attack capabilities. Coupled with their advantageous environment, their attack power becomes even more terrifying. Any creature that encounters a Magma Fire Ant is highly likely to become its next meal.
Primary Attack Method: They launch a flame devouring attack on a single target, striking quickly with high accuracy and damage. They excel in cooperation and prefer to swarm and attack the same target.
Primary Weak Points: Head, abdomen.
…
Yi天chen was stunned for a moment, and there was a trace of bitterness in my heart. Although this is only a level 30 Elite Monster, their magic attacks are quite deadly. In addition, it is close to the center of the earth, has a certain Fire Magic increase, and is good at group style combat, but it is really not easy to handle. Therefore, in the face of these large numbers of Magma Fire Ant, if Yi Tianchen can not provoke them, it is better not to provoke them as much as possible. He quickly took a few steps back, but Yi Tianchen found helplessly that a Magma Fire Ant was crawling towards him. Moreover, there are only three ways before him now. First, go back to the starting point and wait for the New Year; second, rush past Magma Fire Ant’s territory and continue walking underground; third, bite your tongue or hit a rock, or jump off! Obviously, the first one is to pass directly; the second one is to be considered; the third one is to delete it decisively and forcefully. From this point of view, it seems that there is no need to consider it. "Whew..." Suddenly, a fiery red liquid suddenly spurted out from Magma Fire Ant's mouth. Apparently he smelled the delicious Yi Tianchen. As he approached, he decisively launched the first wave. Offensive---1283! System Tips: [Magma Fire Ant] uses the skill [Fire Explosion Lv-3], causing 130% Fire Magic damage to you, and you lose 1283 points of Vitality! "Holy shit! So strong!" Yi Tianchen trembled all over. Seeing that there was only one Magma Fire Ant approaching at the moment, he immediately rushed forward with the Fury of the Wilderness and Unfolding threw a black The dark aperture--- Death EntanglementLv-2! Blade Break Slash Lv-2! The Fury of the Wild dragged down a golden light, easily tearing apart the defense of Magma Fire Ant, and brought out an extremely eye-catching damage---
-1653!
There was no denying that a magic creature with low defense would meet a tragic end when facing Yi Tianchen, who relied purely on brute force. Unfortunately, this tragedy was mutual; Yi Tianchen felt just as vulnerable under the attacks of the Magma Fire Ant.
However, when dealing with these magical creatures, especially when their numbers were not overwhelming, Yi Tianchen had a reliable strategy. He would utilize the mechanics of magic skills to engage in close combat with the Magma Fire Ants. As long as he stayed within one yard of them, their magical attacks would become ineffective.
With this plan in mind, Yi Tianchen endured another magical attack from a Magma Fire Ant and retreated while simultaneously isolating one from its larger group. He then charged forward and unleashed a flurry of strikes, his weapon howling through the air as it descended repeatedly.
In less than fifteen seconds, the first Magma Fire Ant let out a strange cry, its eight legs flailing helplessly in the air.
Yi Tianchen laughed heartily and stepped forward, kicking the corpse of the Magma Fire Ant aside. On the ground lay a dozen shiny Silver Coins—twelve in total—quite a generous reward!
With this experience of taking down the first one, Yi Tianchen began to replicate his success cautiously by luring in a second Magma Fire Ant. Once he confirmed it was safe, he attacked without hesitation, dispatching the second Magma Fire Ant swiftly and efficiently.
"Thud..."
An item much larger than the body of the Magma Fire Ant dropped to the ground, leaving Yi Tianchen momentarily stunned and astonished!
He hurried over to inspect it. It was a fiery red robe; as he held it in his hands, he could faintly feel waves of heat emanating from it. Without further ado, he cast an Identification Technique on it—
Heartguard Robe of the Infernal Flame: Dark Iron Equipment
Defense: 85
Intelligence: +10
Spirit Power: +8
Bonus 1: Increases user's Fire Magic damage by 5%
Type: Cloth Armor - Clothing
Level Requirement: 30
Set Bonus (1/4): ???
"Wow... it's a full set! What luck!"
Muttering to himself, Yi Tianchen couldn't help but widen his eyes in astonishment, praising his fortune. Whether he was complimenting his own luck or the attributes of the equipment remained unclear.
Quickly stowing it away, he picked up the dropped Silver Coin and noticed a considerable number of Magma Fire Ants ahead, continuing to search for a solitary target.
