Lin Yun had no choice but to concoct a bottle of Rebirth Potion for emergencies. There were a total of four types of herbs needed to concoct the Rebirth Potion. Lin Yun touched the herbs he had on him and quickly found three of them. Then, after searching for another four to five minutes, he was disappointed to find that the Blazing Grass was gone …
Misfortune really never came alone!
But soon, Lin Yun gradually felt waves of heat. This scorching aura immediately made Lin Yun's eyes light up. The Blazing Grass usually grew in hot environments. This was a very common herb, so it should be easy to find.
After patting the dust off his body, Lin Yun finally had the time to look around. This seemed to be a naturally formed karst cave. It was very wide, and while descending, Lin Yun calculated that this place was about five kilometers from the ground … But it didn't seem dark at all.
He followed that scorching aura and walked forward for about ten minutes. The scene in front of him deeply shocked him. It was a huge floating palace, with countless thick chains holding it in place. And the scorching aura was coming from below the palace.
What really shocked him wasn't the floating palace itself, but the construction of such a huge project. How much manpower and resources would it take to build it? Even if it was the peak of the 3rd Dynasty, it would still take at least ten years to build this project!
He followed a thick chain and carefully walked towards the floating palace. The waves of heat coming from below made him frown. He looked down and saw that it was all boiling lava, emitting a terrifying temperature. In just a few seconds, his mage robe was drenched in sweat, and his face was red.
Although the magical elements here weren't as chaotic as when he landed, the interference was still quite strong. In such an environment, even he would have a hard time surviving if he accidentally fell.
Eh?
Just a quick glance had made him realize something.
There were actually four skeletons floating in the boiling lava. These skeletons were a bit special, they didn't seem to be human. After careful observation, Lin Yun noticed that the skeletons were faintly emitting a dark golden luster, and the owners of these four skeletons were probably only about a meter tall when they were alive …
Dark Iron Dwarves?
Lin Yun frowned. He could confirm that these were definitely the skeletons of Dark Iron Dwarves. The Dark Iron Dwarves spent most of their time working next to furnaces, so they were born with extremely high resistance to heat. Just looking at these four skeletons, they had existed for at least a thousand years, and they were floating in magma. Even so, the skeletons of the Dark Iron Dwarves wouldn't melt …
But how could a Dark Iron Dwarf die here …
After all, this was Okland …
The legendary Dark Iron Dwarves once had a golden history in the Nesser Dynasty. At that time, they were still the servants of the Chromatic Dragons. They occupied the most fertile mineral deposits and had the most advanced forging technology of the time. But unfortunately, with the end of the Nesser Dynasty and the Chromatic Dragons escaping into the void, the Dark Iron Dwarves' era also came to an end. Now, the Dark Iron Dwarves could hardly be seen in Noscent. Most of them had already hidden underground and rarely appeared in front of people. Only one or two of their forging works would occasionally appear in Noscent's top auctions, proving that this race hadn't truly gone extinct.
But what about the skeletons of the Dark Iron Dwarves?
Could it be related to the hovering palace?
The Dark Iron Dwarves were innate forging masters, so it wasn't strange for them to be found to build this hovering palace. But their deaths left Lin Yun scratching his head in confusion.
He walked along the chain, paying attention to the magma below. Sure enough, there weren't just those four skeletons. After walking for a few minutes, he found a dozen more.
Suddenly, a heatwave spread out as a huge flaming bird rushed out of the magma below. It let out a sharp cry and flapped its wings, sending countless flames towards Lin Yun.
It was a Flame Vulture!
This sudden change startled Lin Yun. In fact, he had a strange feeling when he walked on the chain, as if he was being spied on. But he couldn't find anything for a while, so he had been cautiously walking for a few minutes. The moment the Flame Vulture rushed out, he understood that the Flame Vulture was a fire-type creature. It was no wonder that he couldn't discover its existence when it hid in the scorching lava …
That Flame Vulture's level wasn't very high, only level 31. Normally, he wouldn't care about a magic beast of that level. But the environment he was in was very vile, and the mana was extremely chaotic, greatly reducing his strength. Moreover, he had been injured when he fell from the ground.
He gently raised his magic staff and three Ice Walls were erected in front of him, blocking the flames. At the same time, the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel rose up behind him and burst with countless spells, forming a flood of spells that swept towards the Flame Vulture. At this time, Anderfa came out of the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel and kept controlling it to fiercely bombard that level 31 Flame Vulture.
He didn't know what Anderfa had done with that drop of Variant Black Lizard Blood, but the power of the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel had greatly increased. It was just as Anderfa said, it had already reached the level of a Mid-Rank True Spirit Magic Tool!
The Flame Vulture gradually cut a sorry figure after being bombarded by the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel. The frequency at which it flapped its wings had greatly decreased, and in the end, it was doing its utmost to escape. Even if the spells falling on its body were Low Tier Spells, each one was very powerful and caused a lot of damage to it. It hadn't even been five minutes since it appeared, and the flames on its body had already dimmed. It could be said that it was riddled with scars.
The exhausted Flame Vulture clearly didn't notice that three deep blue lights were already flying towards it. Those were three Frost Lances. In a flash, a mournful roar echoed as the flames on the Flame Vulture's body were extinguished. At this time, a large Mana Hand suddenly grabbed it.
Lin Yun bent down and carefully took out the mana crystal from within the Flame Vulture's body.
But Lin Yun's expression became strange as he held the mana crystal in his hand. He thoughtfully looked at the mana crystal in his hand.
'This mana crystal is too strange …'
The fighting power displayed by the Flame Vulture was already above level 30. In other words, the mana crystal within its body should have reached the level of a spirit mana crystal.
The mana contained within a spirit mana crystal was pure. Not only could it be used in various fields of alchemy, but even a Low Rank Mage could directly absorb the mana within. But the mana crystal in Lin Yun's hand was far from being pure. The mana contained within was so complex that even the experienced and knowledgeable Lin Yun couldn't help shaking his head. If a Low Rank Mage directly absorbed this kind of mana crystal, it would be no different from poison.
If it was just that, it wouldn't have made Lin Yun lose his composure.
The Fire Vulture was a fire-type magical beast, so the magical crystal it condensed should contain fire magical elements. However, this magical crystal contained not only fire magical elements, but also earth, water, and wind magical elements!
What kind of concept was this …
A mana crystal containing four kinds of magic elements … Even Lin Yun from 30,000 years in the future had never heard of such a shocking thing.
He was very curious, 'How did the Flame Vulture condense this strange mana crystal?'
Just as he was carefully observing the mana crystal, Anderfa's voice suddenly echoed, "Shit! What's going on, Merlin, come over and take a look … "
Lin Yun frowned and crouched down. The flames on the dead Flame Vulture's body had been extinguished, and it was now pitch-black. He followed Enderfa's gaze and discovered that there was an imperceptible scar on the Flame Vulture's body. After careful observation, he discovered that the scar seemed to have been stitched. He then thought of the strange mana crystal in his hand and froze. An absurd thought quickly flashed in his mind.
'A mana crystal containing four kinds of magic elements couldn't have been made by someone and then implanted into the body of the Flame Vulture, right?'
'If this guess is true, then the person who did this is too crazy …'
But after thinking about it carefully, Lin Yun felt that it was inconceivable. 'How could a mana crystal containing four kinds of magic elements be made by someone? Moreover, implanting a mana crystal into a magic beast's body, ensuring that the magic beast was safe and sound, and then extracting the mana from the mana crystal to cast spells wasn't easy at all … '
"Not only is the magic beast strange, but the mana crystal within its body is also very strange …" Lin Yun frowned and handed the strange mana crystal to Anderfa. Anderfa's three strange faces were suddenly filled with shock.
"This, this …" Anderfa was also shocked speechless. He paused for a bit before saying, "Merlin, this place is very strange, don't you feel it? The bones floating in the magma most likely belonged to the Dark Iron Dwarves, but I don't know why they died here … "
Lin Yun nodded but didn't say anything and kept walking forward.
Just as he was about to pass through the chains and reach the hovering palace, Lin Yun suddenly discovered a few herbs growing on the cliff below. His pupils suddenly shrank, those were the Blazing Flame Grass he needed.
But those Blazing Flame Grass weren't that easy to pick. They were tenaciously growing on the cliff, and Lin Yun needed to use Levitation to pick them up. Normally, this wouldn't have been a problem for Lin Yun, but the mana was extremely chaotic at the moment, and it was seriously interfering with his casting. It would be fine if he were to use other spells, as it would cause his casting to fail. But Levitation wouldn't work. If he was suddenly disturbed while floating in the air, wouldn't he directly fall into the magma?
