Chapter 122 Magic Imp and Harvest
After Xu Yue knew that the new coordinate point connected to the Piercing Gate was the Abyss Hell, he did not rush to leave. Although the abyss was dangerous, the rich resources here were a rare treasure land for the magicians of Tarenmiya continent. However, shortly after he had just begun to search around, a ball of flame suddenly flew towards him from behind a nearby rock, and a short figure with green flames burning on his body jumped out from behind the rock.
After the green flame attacked the protective cover on his body, it immediately disintegrated into a scattered flame and fell on the ground. What surprised him was that although these flames could not break through his protective cover, the tiny flames did not extinguish after the collapse. When these tiny flames touched the rocks on the ground, they saw that the rocks that seemed very strong in such a harsh environment seemed to be corroded, and were burned into holes by the green flames.
"This is... a demon? So are these green flames the magic energy flames in the book?" Xu Yue frowned and said in a low voice as he looked at the figure in front of him.
At this time, the figure that popped up could clearly see, with a burning green fire, very tiny limbs and body, a thin head with a big mouth and a thin head, and two small horns unique to the abyss creatures on the head. This creature is a very representative creature in hell - the demon demon.
This kind of creature unique to hell has a not strong physical constitution. Almost an ordinary adult can abuse them into a body. However, although these demons are not strong in their body, they are proficient in fire-type magic. The fire-type magic they know is different from the fire-type magic of Tarenmiya's magician. Because the magic elements in the abyss are infected by the negative energy unique to the abyss. Therefore, the elemental properties here are much more violent than the magical elements of Tarenmiya, so the magician calls the magic energy here magic energy. The flames released by the fire-type magic here are also called magic-energy flames.
Compared with Tarenmiya's fire magic, the magic energy flames in hell are not only more violent. They also have a strong corrosive effect due to the negative energy they contain.
After seeing that the demonic flames they emitted did not cause any damage to their prey, the demonic ghosts jumped angrily for a few times. The wisdom of this low-level monster in the abyss was only higher than that of the monsters that did not have much thinking ability here. The first time they failed to attack, they did not think about escaping, but burning their opponents with more magic flames.
Because the demon's movements always jump, it looks like a clown in a theater. However, its movements to release the magic fireballs are very quick. While jumping, it waves its arms to launch the magic fireballs. The magic fireballs keep hitting Xu Yue's magic shield. Then they jump and fall on the ground next to it. For a short while, the ground beside Xu Yue was already covered with green flames.
Xu Yue did not fight back immediately. He was still curious about this demonic demon unique to the abyss. Although he had talked about many races that only appeared in Western myths and legends on Earth in the past three years, he was still curious about this race that only exists in Hell in Western myths. Anyway, the opponent's attack was not at all threat to him, so it would be better to observe it first.
"Well, this demonic fireball of this demonic ghost is probably equivalent to a level 3 fire-type magic impact fireball. However, because the magic flame itself is corrosive, its power is actually higher than the impact fireball. However, this guy's body is really as thin as the book says, and his arms and legs are probably a little thicker than my thumb. If there is a melee profession that can approach them, even a first-level warrior can easily kill a large piece of it." While observing Xu Yue, he thought to himself.
The demonic fireball that was only level three was launched by the demon, which caused no trouble for him, so he simply walked forward with the shield, intending to observe the legendary low-level abyss race nearby. But his actions obviously scared the demon, and he saw it jumping back and running for a distance, and then shouted a few words in a language that Xu Yue had never heard of before.
Suddenly, a group of jumping demons jumping out behind the rock not far away. The number of these guys was six or seven, jumping over from not far away. At the same time, magic fireballs were thrown out from their hands on Xu Yue's body.
"Yes! I remember the book says that most of the demons live in groups. It seems that this nearby happens to be the nest of this group of demons." Xu Yue said with some understanding after seeing the demons.
Since the other party has helped, Xu Yue doesn't plan to drag it like this anymore. Although even if these demons and ghosts come together, the magic fireball with only level three magic strength cannot break his magic shield. However, the demons are only low-level monsters in the abyss, and they are not even considered demons, so the strength of these things is actually not high in the abyss.
These demons are easy to deal with, but if their battles are delayed for a long time, it would be a little bad if they attract some powerful monsters. The average strength of hell creatures is much higher than that of the creatures in the Tarenmia continent. In the wars of the abyss demons attacking Tarenmia in history, if it weren't for the rules of the Tarenmia plane that had a strong suppression effect on these abyss creatures that came across borders, and could not even exert half of their own strength, the Tarenmia continent would have fallen several times. In fact, this is the case. In several invasions of the abyss demons, Tarenmia's various races were forced to a desperate situation several times. If it weren't for the high-ranking gods who took action personally, Tarenmia would have been filled with the demons in the abyss.
In the abyss, the main combat power is the demon, which is a class composed of some fixed demon clans and some abyss creatures that break through to a certain boundary. Generally speaking, even the weakest low-level demons have the strength of level 5 or above. If some intermediate demons are even comparable to professionals at level 7 or eight, while high-level demons are definitely at level 9. And they are much stronger than Tarenmiya's ninth professionals.
If it is a low-level demon, it can only be said to be a little trouble for Xu Yue. Even if you can't kill the opponent, it's okay to leave. But if you encounter an intermediate demon, he suspects that even if you want to run, it will be difficult. His trump cards still have some effect on Tarenmiya's level seven, and it will be much worse for the intermediate demon in the abyss.
After making up his mind to fight quickly, a silver staff of more than one person appeared in Xu Yue's hand. A white diamond crystal was inlaid with the top of the staff. This diamond crystal as big as an adult fist is surrounded by these two crossed circular light bands. One light band is red and the other light band is blue.
If anyone sees this crystal surrounded by two-color light belts, he will be surprised to call out the name of Kuser crystal. This magical crystal is an extremely precious magic material on Tarenmiya. Because this crystal itself is the only magical magic material that can condense different magic energy of water and fire. Therefore, the magic equipment made of this material can not only cast water and fire magic at the same time. After a certain amount of processing, it can also rely on the collision of water and fire energy to produce huge explosive magic.
However, the environment for the birth of this precious material is positive and harsh, so there are very few magic equipment made of Kuser crystals on the Tarenmiya continent. Most of the time, even if one item appears, it is very high, so it is scary. Xu Yue also relied on his good relationship with the elves. In a certain transaction, he used some precious magic materials that the elves just needed to exchange for this elves' level six staff made of Kuser crystals.
He pointed the staff in his hand forward, and suddenly the blue light bands among the two colored light bands at the top of the crystal began to rotate rapidly. A strong chill appeared from the top of the staff and instantly sprayed out in the direction of the demons.
As typical abyss creatures, demons and other abyss creatures have similar characteristics. Because they live in hot magma and flame areas for a long time, they are not only good at using fire energy, but their resistance to flames is even more outrageous. However, everything is balanced, and advantages will have disadvantages. Most abyss creatures have high resistance to flames, but their resistance to frost magic is much lower. Even compared with many Tarenmiya creatures, their resistance to frost magic can be almost said to be negative, so using frost magic is the best choice.
The hot area here seemed to have turned into a glacier in an instant. With the ultra-low temperature magic released by the staff, the hot rocks around were covered by thick ice in an instant. The white frost continued to spread around, and some flowing magma was even extinguished by the strong cold in an instant. In the blink of an eye, it turned black and solidified into solid and sealed in the frost.
Even the surrounding environment is like this, the situation of the demons who are regarded as the main target of attack is even worse. These guys were frozen into ice almost as soon as the magic was cast, and they were frozen into ice in a funny jumping posture.
After seeing his opponent being solved by his own move, Xu Yue then stepped on the ice under his feet to the side of the frozen demons. These low-level magical magic was frozen by such a powerful cold, and could not die anymore. However, Xu Yue did not intend to throw these demons here just like this. When learning magic, the magician not only needed to do various magic experiments to enhance his mastery and understanding of magic knowledge, but also sometimes he also studied and dissected some creatures such as monsters to study the principle of interaction between creatures and magic elements. These demons are rare material for magicians.
After waving the ice cubes of these demons into his storage ring, Xu Yue walked towards the place where these demons appeared. Generally speaking, because the abyss is harsh, the creatures here, especially the low-level monsters, live a very difficult life. It is basically impossible for Tarenmiya's giant dragon to accumulate a large number of treasures in the nest.
However, as a group of abyss creatures, the demons always collect some materials unique to hell. Perhaps these materials can only be considered ordinary things for the demons living in the abyss, but they are good rare materials for Xu Yue.
After searching nearby for a while, he finally found a small cave in a relatively low rock. After feeling the fluctuations emitted from the entrance of the cave, he must be the den of the demons.
The cave was not high. Xu Yue had to bow his head slightly when he went in. The ground was hard rocks, and the entire cave seemed to be dug out violently. After a light operation, he walked into the cave with the first step. Some scattered debris were thrown on the ground of the cave. There were burnt animal bones, broken fur, some dry plant branches, etc.
After walking about ten meters inward, a space of about 30 square meters in an area appeared in front of him. This space was like an irregular square, with a pool of magma about two square meters in size in a corner, and the fiery red magma was surging inside.
On the other side of the space there is a haystack made of weeds. Many places in those haystacks have blackened areas. But it doesn't seem to be on fire, but it seems to be roasted.
"Flame Grass..." Xu Yue looked carefully at the weeds that were obviously piled up into haystacks for sleeping, and said speechlessly. This kind of Flame Grass is also available in Tarenmiya, but it is very rare. This magic plant not only has high resistance to fire energy because it grows in the land of flames, but also this magic plant itself can be used to configure a very advanced fire magic potion, which can help warriors with fire attribute fighting spirit to break through.
Look at the burned parts of the flaming grass. It was obvious that the demonic ghosts crawled on top and sleeped. As a result, the magical flames on the body were burned for a long time and left burning marks on these flaming grasses. What a pity was that these flaming grasses had withered, and although their resistance to fire energy was still there, they could no longer be used to configure magic potions. However, seeing that these flaming grasses could actually use such a large flaming grass as a bed, it was obvious that there should be many flaming grasses nearby. Speaking of which, this kind of magic material that is very rare in the Tarenmiya continent is just a weed-like existence in the abyss, and can basically be found in any hot place.
Without rushing to go out to find the fresh flame grass, Xu Yue first used his staff to pull up the flame grass piles. The withered weeds and the accumulated debris inside were constantly peeled off. Finally, they spread out into a large area. Although the demons did not have the hobby of collecting treasures like giant dragons, they would still take them back to their nest when they encountered some useful things. This hay pile was the only place in the entire nest where things could be placed.
Finally, Xu Yue found three pieces of fist-sized obsidian, five pieces of thumb-sized magic crystals, and a purple unknown monster skull in the haystack. What surprised him in the end was that he actually found the heart of lava condensed by five pieces of flame essence here. This kind of magic material has always been used as a material for the production of advanced magic equipment. The price of each piece is no less than 500,000 gold coins at the auction, and there is still no market price.
The five lava hearts he found were even higher in terms of purity than the higher lava hearts he had seen once before. I think if the auction was made, the price of the five lava hearts would not be less than three million gold coins in total. Although he had a lot of wealth, he was happy that he had just copied the nest of a group of demons and ghosts and had such gains. I think these demons who like high temperatures used these five lava hearts as warmers, otherwise they would not have been placed in the haystack.
Feeling satisfied with his gains, Xu Yue decided to use the demon's nest as his first stronghold in the abyss. After changing the positioning coordinates on the Piercing Gate to this cave, he took out some items with magic arrays to be busy throughout the cave.
In the abyss, a safe place to cherish one's body is very rare for low-level monsters. Those demons can occupy such a good cave, which may be based on the power of the group. However, Xu Yue cannot stay in this cave for a long time. If he leaves, some of the low-level monsters around him may occupy this place without the suppression of the magical ghosts, so he needs to set up a barrier to isolate the low-level monsters outside.
First, use magic to clean up all the debris in this space. Fortunately, the demon ghost was covered in flames, so even if there was any dirty thing, it was almost burned by the flames on his body, so there was no strange smell in this cave. Hold the arrangement supplies of several magic arrays in his hands, and then use magic to make some small holes in the space of the cave and the walls and ground at the entrance, then put the magical instruments in his hand into the small hole, and then use spells such as fossils to mud to seal the entrance and then turn them back into the rock.
After struggling for about an hour, Xu Yue completed the arrangement of the magic array needed for the entire cave. The level of this magic array is as high as level 6. It not only has excellent defensive functions, but also can hide the hole of the cave. As long as he regularly replaces with a few magic crystals that maintain the magic array for a while, he can keep it.
After the magic array plate placed in the center of the cave space was stimulated, a layer of white light flashed across the walls and ground of the cave, and then these lights slowly disappeared. He walked outside the cave and looked, and found that from the outside, the place that seemed to be the entrance of the cave turned into a stone wall with edges. I think even the monsters around him would not want to be touched by these edges.
Xu Yue was very satisfied with his new stronghold. After looking around, he found a relatively high stone mountain to observe it. Since the demon ghost's nest was judging that there were a large number of flaming grasses growing nearby, he also planned to collect a batch. If the number of these flaming grasses is large enough, they will not be much smaller than the hearts of the five lava.
Although the growth of the flame grass requires high temperature, it does not mean that it can be done anywhere. After judging based on his own knowledge, he flew directly in one direction with level 6 flying magic.
It is not difficult to judge the growth of the Flame Grass. Xu Yue discovered a large number of magic plants in a plain-like place. He looked at the wide Flame Grass, which was a bit too much, and couldn't help but have a headache when he wanted to collect it himself. Suddenly he remembered something, took out the "Kenneth's Portable House" from the storage ring and put it on the ground to unfold it, and then walked in and called out Alice, a female magic puppet specially used to collect magic materials.
"Collection of magic materials in this area and don't go too far. This is in the abyss. You don't have much combat power. If you don't have me, you will probably be attacked by nearby monsters." Xu Yue said to Alice, who was carrying a big basket on her back.
"Okay, I will collect and process the collected magic materials. However, the pure containers in the cottage are not enough. I hope the guru can give me some." Alice said respectfully.
Xu Yue nodded. For him, pure containers were probably the most valuable high-end items. He put the thousands of pure containers stored in his storage ring into Kenneth's portable hut. Xu Yue simply started walking around the area where the flame grass grew. On the one hand, he wanted to find out whether there were hidden low-level monsters around to prevent them from hurting Alice, and on the other hand, he wanted to see if there were any other magic materials worth collecting around.
Not to mention, there are some low-level monsters living in the surrounding rocks and some strange-shaped plants, but some monsters with the highest level are only at level 5. Under the magic attack on the high-level magic equipment that Xu Yue carried with him, none of these monsters could escape and were all killed. Xu Yue simply threw these monsters in front of Alice. After all, some places of these monsters can also collect good biological materials.
When he was looking for a pile of fiery red rocks, Xu Yue's eyes were suddenly attracted by a piece of ground among the pile of rocks. He looked at the ground that seemed to be glowing with golden light, and his frown seemed to remember something, but he didn't dare to confirm it. Finally, he had to use magical hands to clear out the rocks in that area, then squatted down and grabbed the soil with golden light on the ground, put it in front of him and looked carefully.
Chapter completed!
