Everyone's eyes glowed when they heard Fire Dance mention an ore vein.
Ore veins were extremely rare in God's Domain, and they were even rarer in the Starmoon Kingdom. As the Starmoon Kingdom was a relatively well-balanced kingdom, it did not focus on herbs, ores, wood, or food. Hence, ore veins were even rarer.
Whenever an ore vein appeared, it would result in an intense competition.
"An ore vein? What kind of ore vein? "Shifeng asked curiously.
He wasn't particularly surprised that an ore vein had appeared in the Flame Demon's Valley. After all, this was a mountainous region, a danger zone rich in resources. Although ore veins were generally valuable, they were also divided into different grades. For example, Bronze ore veins and Magic Crystal ore veins were worlds apart. Although Bronze ore veins were tempting even to ordinary large Guilds, they were tempted.
However, to the current Ling YI Society, a Bronze ore wasn't particularly attractive.
After all, this was a danger zone.
Danger zones were already extremely dangerous. Due to the environment, mining was even more difficult. Even Super Guilds would struggle to establish mining facilities in danger zones within kingdoms and empires, not to mention a neutral map's danger zone.
Under normal circumstances, superpowers would ignore ore veins in danger zones.
After all, the benefits weren't proportional to the investment. Otherwise, the profits would be too little. Hence, superpowers wouldn't waste their time and manpower.
"A Source Fire vein!" Fire Dance exclaimed excitedly.
Upon hearing Fire Dance's words, everyone in the team gasped involuntarily. In their opinion, a Crimson Gold or Mithril vein would be amazing.
Yet, a Source Fire vein had actually appeared before them.
"Source Fire?" Shifeng was similarly tempted.
This was a bona fide second-tier ore vein. Moreover, unlike other second-tier ore veins, it was an Attribute ore vein, which was extremely rare among second-tier ore veins.
Ordinary ore veins didn't have Attributes. It was the same with ores. However, once an ore gained an Attribute, its price would multiply. For example, Frost Iron Ore was an ice-type ore. Weapons forged with this ore would receive ice-type damage. Similarly, equipment forged with this ore would receive Ice Resistance.
Because of this, Attribute ore veins were much more valuable. Even first-rate Guilds and superpowers would fight over a third-tier Attribute ore vein, not to mention a second-tier Attribute ore vein.
If the various superpowers found out about this, they would most likely do everything in their power to secure it. Although a Tier 1 vein might not be as valuable as a Tier 1 vein, it would be of great help to Guild players when exploring Dungeons and maps. Even if they had to pay a hefty price, they would try to claim it for themselves.
However, what surprised Shi Feng was that he had never heard of an Attribute ore vein in the Flame Demon's Valley in the past. Otherwise, the various superpowers would've long since gone to war over it. Everyone in God's Domain would've heard of this matter.
"Send me the coordinates. We'll head over immediately."
As the Shifeng thought about this, he wanted to confirm it with his own eyes. If it was true, then the Ling YI Society would be rich in terms of ships and weapons.
Following which, Fire Dance sent her coordinates to Shifeng. Shifeng then led a careful team to Fire Dance's location.
Fire Dance's location was a canyon surrounded by mountains and lava. She had an excellent view of the canyon, and there was no black smoke in the area. However, the terrain was very steep, and a large number of Lava Beasts resided in the canyon. Moreover, a gigantic Level 80 Mythic beast lay at the canyon's entrance.
[Lava Hound] (Elemental Creature, Mythic) Level 80 HP 450,000,000/450,000,000
– 450,000,000 Lava Hound's team members felt a headache coming on as they looked at the two-headed Lava Hound lying at the canyon's entrance.
However, from inside the canyon, they could clearly see the crimson ore vein outside the canyon's entrance. This crimson ore was none other than the Source Fire Ore.
"It's actually real?!" Shifeng's heart burned with excitement as he looked at the Source Fire Ore outside the canyon's entrance.
Although the Source Fire Ore vein looked like a small one, it was indeed a Source Fire Ore vein.
"What a pity! There are too many lava monsters nearby. There's even a Level 80 Mythic Lava Creature guarding the area. We can't do anything about it, "Shiuse Qiangwei said, a hint of reluctance in his heart as he looked at the Source Fire Ore vein.
With their current strength, they might have no problems dealing with Level 60 Mythic monsters, but they had to deal with a Level 80 lava monster in such a harsh environment. Even if they were Level 80, they wouldn't stand a chance against a Level 80 lava monster, much less Level 50-plus players.
This was a danger zone, and the monsters here generally had much higher combat standards than monsters in the outside world. In addition, the lava monsters had frightening Basic Attributes. Without reaching Level 90 or Level 100, players would be helpless against the Level 80 Lava Hound.
Lava Monsters weren't like ordinary monsters. The closer players got to them, the greater the impact they would have on them. Even if players had high Fire Resistance, they would still suffer from the intense heat the lava monsters radiated. Moreover, the pain would greatly affect their combat power.
However, this wasn't the most frightening aspect of the lava monsters.
Lava Monsters were the most corrosive to weapons and equipment. If a weapon or equipment's Durability fell to zero, it would be permanently lost.
Because of this, players avoided the lava monsters as much as possible.
Lava Monsters surrounded the canyon, and if they failed to secure the Source Fire Ore vein, they might lose a large batch of weapons and equipment.
Moreover, establishing a foothold with an ore vein was different from raiding monsters. While they were establishing a foothold, a large number of monsters would attack them. If the foothold was destroyed, all the resources they had invested would go to waste.
Even if they could take a step back and establish a foothold, the problem was that the Ling YI Society didn't have enough manpower to garrison the area. This was the core area of the Flame Demon's Valley. The harsh environment here could easily kill any player who ventured here. Players needed high Fire Resistance to survive.
Meanwhile, they were fully geared in Fire Resistance equipment and had consumed a Master Fire Resistance Potion. Any other player would've long since died in this environment.
The other members of the team were similarly disappointed. However, they agreed with Shiuse Qiangwei's opinion.
The Source Fire Ore vein was indeed a good location, but it was a treasure they couldn't touch. They could only admire it from afar …
Shifeng fell into deep thought as he looked at the large number of lava monsters roaming around the canyon.
Currently, very few people in God's Domain knew the true value of an Attribute Source Fire Ore vein. However, Shi Feng was very clear about it. This was especially true for the current Ling YI Society. Not only could a large number of fire-attributed ores increase the Ling YI Society's overall combat power by a large margin, but the Source Fire Ore vein's super-rare byproduct, Source Fire Crystals.
Not only were Source Fire Crystals the favorite of Master Alchemists, but they were also one of the main materials to forge the Broken Steel Set Equipment exclusive to the Blade Saint.
"Lava Monsters?" After carefully observing the terrain and the lava monsters, Shifeng pondered for a moment before saying, "It might be impossible to establish a mining foothold here, but it isn't impossible to mine here."
"Guild Leader, can we really mine here?" Shiuse Qiangwei asked as he looked at Shifeng, a hint of anticipation burning in his eyes.
Currently, Fire Resistance equipment and weapons were the main focus of the various large Guilds' development. If they could mine the Source Fire Ore vein here, the Ling YI Society's development speed would increase by a large margin. Given enough time, the Guild's members wouldn't need to operate near Silverwing Town. They could move freely in the Ore Empire and compete with the Evil God's Temple's Beast Emperor.
