Chapter 152: Cold Crystal Ore Vein
“Is it… really?” Treika’s pretty face flushed as if she thought of something.
“That’s pretty much the idea,” Zane waved his hand, “No need to dwell on this, let’s just move in one direction.”
“Okay.” She nodded.
…
Speaking of which, it’s been over a week since they left the Beginner Village.
That means Treika has been trapped in this illusion for almost a week.
During this time, she discovered hidden challenge locations and completed over 70 challenges… she has quite an extraordinary perseverance in this regard… one could also say she is a bit thick-skinned.
No wonder the attributes of the Wind Guardian Spirit are so exaggerated.
Of course, the dense and complicated forest is also one of the reasons.
They proceeded generally northwest, the direction where the fiery red line had appeared before.
As a result, they walked for a whole hour without seeing an end.
Would the planning team really trap players here permanently?
It’s hard to say.
Even the manic siege activity only allows an hour of preparation time, let alone this.
Besides, there’s one more thing. Since she’s in an illusion, her main body should have been taken out by small monsters or Treika by now… why is she still in the illusion?
It’s baffling…
Rustle.
While pondering, an unusual sound came from ahead.
“Should we go check it out?” Zane asked.
The Light Elf said nothing and instead moved out with light footsteps, almost making no sound.
Zane hurriedly followed.
Following the sound source, they surprisingly passed through the lush forest!
Their view suddenly widened, and in front was an endless plain where two floating fireballs collided with each other.
On the left was a purplish-red color, while the right looked like candlelight.
What are those?
Check the attributes!
Fire Element Spirit:
Rarity: Gold Grade
Level: 35
Health: 50,000
Magical Attack Power: 470-589
Physical Defense: 280
Magical Defense: 350
Skills: Flame Impact, Elemental Body, Scorch
Description: Fire elemental spirit that can freely use the power of fire.
A level 35 golden monster?
This illusion truly hides its secrets well.
The two Fire Element Spirits seemed not to be on the same side, madly crashing into each other, with amazing sparks erupting between the elements.
-1586
-2730
However, it was obvious that the purple fire was superior, pushing the other fire spirit down to half health in just a few hits.
Ignoring the arrival of outsiders, they continued their fight.
“What do you say?” Zane looked at Treika.
If it was the Light Elf, perhaps she could communicate with the elements.
Who knew, she awkwardly shook her head and said, “I’m… not very good at this kind of thing.”
“… You must have slacked off in class, right?”
Watching a fire spirit’s health decrease, Zane made a determined decision and thought to approach first.
For safety’s sake, Zane transformed into the Wishcaster form; with 16k health and over 400 magical defense, it should be enough to avoid being taken out in one hit.
However, let’s put up a shield just to be safe.
Starry gently raised her hand, and Ice Flow appeared, swirling around the blonde girl with 80% damage reduction, now that’s secure.
Zane approached slowly.
The two fire spirits were deeply engaged in battle when they suddenly felt the chill and stopped their attacks, both looking at her in unison.
Hmm? Why are you looking at me? Go back to your fight!
In the next moment, a torrent of flames surged toward her.
…
Walking through the Spirit King’s Forest, Zane casually killed a few gray bears, leaving the ground covered in blood.
“…” Kirus never expected he would fall into the hands of goblins.
That’s right, the Dark Elf is Kirus, a genius of the Elf Race, and the one who transformed Treika into her current appearance.
Ever since Treika escaped from him in the dark faction, he has been enduring ridicule.
It’s no wonder; he thought he was in control of everything, yet one got away, which is truly humiliating, and it signifies that his future development will not be easy.
Therefore, for various reasons, he had to capture Treika to redeem his reputation, and besides… he was very curious about what she had become.
However, the Beginner Village has a natural barrier, preventing outsiders from entering, until a week ago, when he suddenly sensed the movements of the Light Elf.
This filled him with excitement, and he immediately stopped what he was doing and headed to the Crimson Plain.
Unfortunately, the sensing only provided a general location, so the most convenient method was to inquire about her whereabouts from those goblins.
Then…
He was beaten up by goblins and fled in disgrace.
He even wasted his life-saving scroll; if others found out…
It’s unimaginable; even lowly undead might dare to ride on him.
But fortune and misfortune go hand in hand; in a panic, he fled into the forest and unexpectedly felt a familiar radiant power.
It’s her, no doubt.
“Hehe…”
Crack!
Splitting the giant spirit tree blocking his way in half, Kirus laughed with glee.
…
“That’s how it is… I was taken out by that NPC…” Lian Lian said pitifully.
“Is it a special storyline…” Mingxiao sighed, feeling overwhelmed. There’s no time to go there now; this round trip will take three to four hours.
“Did you tell them?”
“Not yet.”
“Forget it, I’ll contact him.”
Although he hadn’t added Starry as a friend, he added Fengchen Yanhua, and that man was closely related to Starry’s actions, but he didn’t seem like a romantic partner.
How to put it… more like a tacit master-servant relationship?
But he was quite unfamiliar with his appearance; he hadn’t heard which noble family he was from.
However, it wasn’t the time to think about this; he opened his friend list.
“Brother Fengchen, are you there? I have something urgent to discuss.”
No response.
But the avatar is lit up; could he be asleep? With this thought, he sent a voice request.
“…” Still no answer, what the hell?
Suddenly, a voice request came in.
Finally awake?
Listening, it was the voice of Mingxiao Tingfeng, “Boss, we’ve found the location of a Cold Crystal Ore Vein!”
“What!?” Mingxiao was stunned, unable to close his mouth.
Cold crystals are rare ores needed for crafting professions.
And a level 3 blacksmith can craft silver tier equipment.
Of course, the blueprints need to be acquired by oneself.
What’s the difference between crafted equipment and those dropped from monsters?
The biggest difference is in quantity.
As long as there are blueprints, high-level equipment can be mass-produced as long as the materials are sufficient.
What a coincidence, a classmate in the guild dropped a design for silver boots this morning; Mingxiao bought it at a high price for use by the guild’s senior blacksmith.
Although the price of silver equipment has fallen a lot since yesterday’s siege battle, it’s still not something a casual player can use. This way, it won’t be long before Mingxiao becomes a top-tier guild!
He has already started to envision future development.
“Boss? Are you listening?”
“Ah, yes! Where are you now? I’m on my way!”
He had already thrown the matters of the Crimson Plain behind him.
