Inside the Flame God's Cave, which was as bright as day, Shifeng continuously ventured deeper into the cave.
Previously, they had killed a Lava Hound to practice their Skill Proficiency. Only, compared to their Skill Proficiency, the Level 25 Lava Hound gave much less EXP.
However, this was not surprising.
As all of the monsters in the Flame God's Cave possessed high Attack and HP, ordinary players would not grind here at all. However, it was a different story if one possessed the Flaming Sun Scripture. Dealing with the monsters inside the Flame God's Cave was a piece of cake.
Flame Crystals were the main material for producing the Basic Fire Resistance Potion.
When everyone reached Level 20 to Level 30, many Party Dungeons and Team Dungeons required high fire resistance. Otherwise, they would not be able to raid them. Among them, there was a Level 25 Team Dungeon called the Flame Burrow. Without the Basic Fire Resistance Potion, it was impossible to clear the Flame Burrow. However, this Team Dungeon just so happened to drop a lot of good equipment and items. Moreover, the Dungeon gave the most Guild Honor. Most importantly, there was a very small chance that the Dungeon would drop the Guild Herb Garden Certificate and Guild Mine Certificate.
With these two items, the development of the Guild would take a step forward.
Normally, a Guild could only be considered a true Guild when it had a Guild Residence. Moreover, a Guild could construct some buildings to support the Guild's development. Among these buildings, the two most important ones were the Herb Garden and the Mine. These two places could provide the Guild with a fixed amount of herbs and ore every day, greatly reducing the Guild's expenditure. At the same time, they could provide sufficient resources for Alchemists and Forgers to improve their Lifestyle Skill Proficiency.
It was simply killing two birds with one stone.
Hence, as long as a Guild possessed a Residence, they would not spare any cost to raid the Flame Burrow. These two certificates allowed them to construct the Herb Garden and Mine in their Residence.
Because of this, many Guilds had gone to grind the Flame Burrow at that time. As a result, the Basic Fire Resistance Potion had become the hottest product.
Shifeng could still clearly remember that a Basic Fire Resistance Potion cost 50 Silver Coins, while a Flame Crystal cost 15 Silver Coins. Hence, many people had spent 3 to 4 Gold to purchase the Flaming Sun Scripture. After all, they still needed two hours to grind 25 to 30 Flame Crystals to break even.
Inside the Flame God's Cave … An ordinary Lava Hound had a 3% chance of dropping a Flame Crystal. Compared to fire-type monsters in the outside world, the drop-rate was three times higher. Meanwhile, Level 25 Elite monsters had a 100% chance of dropping one Flame Crystal, and a 10% chance of dropping two Flame Crystals. Not to mention the equipment they dropped.
Level 25 Special Elites had a 100% chance of dropping two Flame Crystals, and a 20% chance of dropping four Flame Crystals. There was a 10% chance of dropping five to seven Flame Crystals.
The Level 25 Chieftain Wave SS monsters were even better. They had a 100% chance of dropping 10 Fire Crystals, a 30% chance of dropping 13 to 19 Fire Crystals, and a 20% chance of dropping 20 to 25 Fire Crystals. Killing a Chieftain Wave SS monster would net players around 2 Gold Coins, not to mention the other equipment and tools it dropped.
The Shifeng cleared the lone Level 25 Lava Hounds along the way. Even if they had to face two at once, the Shifeng could easily deal with them.
The only difference was that it would take a longer time to kill them.
The Lava Hound's Flame Breath was easy to dodge as long as one could see the Lava Hound's Adam's apple glowing and emitting flames. However, the damage from this skill was negligible to Shifeng. The total damage from this skill was less than -100 points.
However, the Lava Hound's other skill, Flame Burst, dealt extremely high fire damage to enemies within an 8-yard radius.
If not for the 120 points of Fire Resistance and the 90% fire damage reduction, this skill would have taken away three-quarters of the HP of an MT of the same level. Although the Lava Hound's actions when activating this skill were very obvious, it would abruptly raise its claws and slam them into the ground, causing a pile of flames to erupt. However, the skill's AOE was too large, making it difficult to dodge.
Fortunately, Shifeng's Fire Resistance was extremely high. The Lava Hound's Flame Breath only dealt around -100 damage. To Shifeng, who had over 1,800 HP, this damage was negligible.
After more than an hour, Shifeng finally arrived at the core area of the Flame God's Cave. Along the way, they killed many Lava Hounds. As Shi Feng wore Shadow's Blessing, Luck + 3, the drop-rate of Flame Crystals was very significant. Every five or six Lava Hounds he killed would drop one Flame Crystal.
Along the way, Shifeng killed a total of over forty Lava Hounds, obtaining a total of eight Flame Crystals. Their experience had also risen to 37% of Level 14. Their leveling speed could be said to be extremely fast. Chop, Thundering Flash, and Thunder Flame Explosion had also risen to Level 7, Level 5, and Level 3 respectively. In addition to the Abyssal Blade's upgrade, they had risen to Level 10, Level 8, and Level 6 respectively. This allowed Shifeng's damage output to increase by a large margin. Unfortunately, the Lava Hounds did not drop any equipment. They also did not drop the Forging Designs that Shifeng desired the most.
When Shi Feng arrived at the core area, he was greeted by a spacious lava field. Boiling lava flowed all around him. Meanwhile, at the very top of the field, there were many sparkling crystals. Due to the lava's reflection, the crystals illuminated the entire field, making it seem as if it was daytime. Meanwhile, the ground here was formed by the cooling lava, making it more like a swamp. It was not as sturdy as a stone road, so it was more difficult to walk on it. If Shi Feng was not careful, he could easily fall and sink into the swamp. If he did not have a certain degree of control over his body, he would be at a great disadvantage when fighting here.
Meanwhile, a short distance away from the field, Shifeng saw many Level 25 Elite Flame Naga Warriors quietly guarding the field. Occasionally, he would also see patrolling Level 25 Special Elite Flame Naga Warriors. These monsters were more intelligent than the Lava Hounds. Aside from their fire attacks, they also dealt considerable physical damage. Their reactions were also very fast. It was especially true for the Flame Naga Warriors. They wore heavy armor and held shields in their hands.
Flame Naga Warrior
[Elite] Level 25 HP 20,000/20,000
[Flame Naga Warrior] (Special Elite) Level 25 HP 50,000/50,000
Following which, Shifeng raised his head and looked towards the center of the core area.
As the distance was very far, Shifeng stared at the core area for a long time. Only after activating his extraordinary vision did he discover a beautiful figure standing on a stone platform in the center of the core area.
That figure was a Lamia. Unlike the other Nagas, who had snake heads and snake faces, this Lamia had a human body and a snake tail. Not only did she possess a charming appearance that would make other women envious, but her eyes also emitted a dazzling glow like rubies. Her thick, black hair was tied into two ponytails, and under the illumination of the flames, her delicate, white skin looked like shining white jade, tender and flawless.
The most attractive part about her was her elegant temperament and exotic beauty. Especially the sparkling silk top she wore, which accentuated her enchanting figure and ample bosom. Just looking at her would cause one to fall head over heels for her.
It was hard to imagine that such a beautiful Lamia was the only Level 25 Lord ranked SS Scorching Lamia in the Flame God's Cave.
"Sure enough, the benefits of exploring a new dungeon are great. A Lord ranked monster right off the bat."
In the past, Shifeng had mostly encountered Chieftain ranked SS Bosses in the Flame God's Cave. Only in an extremely small number of cases did he encounter a Lord ranked SS Boss.
Shifeng's eyes immediately glowed when he saw the Scorching Lamia's enchanting appearance. His breathing became somewhat hurried, and his expression became even more excited. A never before seen dazzling smile appeared on his calm face.
Naturally, Shifeng was not captivated by Sera. Instead, it was because a Lord ranked SS Boss represented a massive amount of wealth. Not to mention, this was the Lord ranked SS Boss of the Flame God's Cave. If he killed her, who knew how much EXP and high-grade items and equipment he could obtain?
