Because the temperature was so high, the surrounding rocks had all turned into a strange kind of crystal, packed tightly together.
And among those crystals, sothing was crawling quickly, making a faint rustling sound.
Aiden imdiately took out the the Abyssthe Fla Demon staff and got ready to fight.
"Malcolm didn’t say whether monsters would appear here or not. It’s better to stay careful," Aiden thought to himself.
He had already co this far, so of course he did not want anything unexpected to happen.
Staying as alert as possible, Aiden walked toward the crystals nearby.
Soon, a tiny red snake, only about the size of a thumb, ca into Aiden’s sight.
A closer look showed that this little creature was completely made of violent fla energy, and it was biting at the crystals.
"Hiss~"The mont the small red fla-energy snake saw Aiden, it imdiately gave off a blinding red light.
In the next mont, blazing fire burst out and burned fiercely as it flew straight toward Aiden.
Without the slightest hesitation, Aiden instantly used his defensive skill, Blacklight Ward.
At the sa ti, he locked onto the small red snake.
Swish! Swish!
Several Elental Arrow shot out, pinning the red snake to the rock before it could get halfway.
[Killed a low-level Fla Energy Snake. EXP 1]
Only 1 EXP?
Aiden frowned at once, feeling that sothing was very strange. Under normal circumstances, this little snake was as fast as a level 50 monster. There was no way it should give only 1 point of EXP.
Bang!
The Fla Energy Snake quickly burst apart like a bubble.
A stream of pure fla energy slowly appeared, floating in midair, and then drifted toward Aiden.
Aiden instinctively wanted to dodge, feeling that it might be dangerous.
But very soon, he saw that the pure fla energy turned into tiny red points of light and entered his body.
[Absorbed a small amount of low-level fla energy. Constitution 100, defense against fire-type skills 0.1%, fire control 0.1%, resistance to high temperatures 0.1%.]
Aiden’s eyes lit up at once. Killing this kind of creature made of fla energy could actually give this kind of boost?
"The EXP is only 1 point, but EXP is the one thing I have plenty of!"
"I should kill more of these fla-energy creatures," Aiden muttered.
The boost was not very large, but killing a low-level Fla Energy Snake was not difficult either.
If there were enough Fla Energy Snakes, and if this effect could keep increasing without limit, then wouldn’t that an he could beco completely immune to fire-type skill damage?
Or Aiden could push his heat resistance to the maximum, so that even if he entered lava, he would still be completely safe!
Without any hesitation, Aiden kept moving forward while starting to search around.
[Killed a low-level Fla Energy Snake. EXP 1]
[Killed a low-level Fla Energy Snake. EXP 1]
...
Ten minutes later, after killing more than thirty Fla Energy Snakes, Aiden could feel slight changes in his body.
There was less and less sweat on his forehead, and he was also able to control Divine Golden Sunfla better.
"Roar!"
At that mont, the lava suddenly began to boil, and a beast-like roar ca from the extrely hot molten rock.
Aiden instantly turned to look. A strange fish more than one ter long was staring at him with its red eyes.
Whoosh!
The monster opened its huge mouth, sucked in the surrounding lava, then aid at Aiden and spat it out hard.
The extrely hot lava instantly gathered into a flaming arrow and shot toward Aiden.
Not only did Aiden not panic, he actually beca excited.
It was obvious that this was a higher-level creature than the Fla Energy Snake.
If he killed this strange fish, the boost it gave would definitely be even stronger!
Aiden took a deep breath and suddenly activated the special effect of smoky black wings. His body began moving in a fast zigzag dash.
After easily dodging the flaming arrow, Aiden imdiately launched a counterattack.
"tal Elent Arrow!"
A golden arrow ford in the blink of an eye, but the strange fish did not seem to sense any danger at all. It suddenly dived straight into the lava.
Bang!
Bang!
The tal Elent Arrow sank into the lava, only splashing up a large amount of molten rock.
"So timid? It ran away just like that?" Aiden widened his eyes and carefully searched for the monster.
Aiden let out a sigh and slowly turned around.
Whoosh!
Another flaming arrow appeared.
A smile appeared at the corner of Aiden’s mouth, and the the Abyssthe Fla Demon staff in his hand lit up at once.
[Killed a mid-level Fla Energy Carp. EXP 10]
[Absorbed a small amount of mid-level fla energy. Constitution 500, defense against fire-type skills 1%, fire control 1%, resistance to high temperatures 1%.]
Ten tis more?
Aiden’s eyes grew even brighter.
He did not move forward right away. Instead, he kept wandering around the area.
Soon, more and more mid-level Fla Energy Carp were drawn out by him, and each one turned into pure fla energy.
About half an hour later, Aiden looked at the calm, rippleless lava and let out a sowhat regretful sigh.
"There are too few of them."
Aiden glanced at the information in the log.
In total, his Constitution had increased by more than 7,000. His defense against fire-type skills had gone up by 13%, his fire control had increased by 13%, and his resistance to high temperatures had improved by the sa amount.
Now he could no longer feel any heat at all. Instead, he felt extrely comfortable in this high-temperature environnt.
"If I keep going deeper, higher-level fla-energy creatures should appear," Aiden said softly.
These were all unexpected gains, and they put Aiden in an unusually good mood.
Before long, he ran into larger high-level fla creatures. Although they were much stronger, they still had no power to resist under his relentless attacks.
Deeper still!
And so, Aiden kept killing fla-energy creatures while moving farther inside.
He did not know how much ti had passed, but eventually all those boosts had reached 50%!
Just as Aiden was feeling very satisfied, a figure suddenly appeared ahead of him. It looked very much like a Red Dwarves.
At once, Aiden beca alert.
"Is it a fla-energy creature, or is it really a Red Dwarves?" Aiden tried to sense it, but strangely, he could detect nothing unusual at all.
And yet, in his line of sight, there really was a figure there.
Aiden tightened his grip on the the Abyssthe Fla Demon staff and prepared himself to activate the supre Miko blessing at any mont.
Just then, the figure suddenly turned around very quickly.
Aiden froze the mont he saw the other person’s face.
"Malcolm?" Aiden said without thinking.
In the next instant, that figure suddenly vanished. When it appeared again, it was already less than ten ters away from Aiden.
Aiden’s pupils shrank, and his heart nearly stopped.
Only then did he realize that this was not Malcolm at all.
The real Malcolm had a thick black beard, but this unknown Red Dwarves had a black-and-red beard instead.
Without any hesitation, Aiden imdiately prepared to activate the supre Miko blessing.
But in the next mont, the other party spoke."A human? I never thought my younger brother, who used to hate humans so much, would actually allow one to enter this place."
"Looks like he has changed quite a bit."
At once, Aiden hesitated. This Red Dwarves was actually Malcolm’s older brother?
Neither Fiona, Syed, nor Brock had ever ntioned that Malcolm had a brother.
"Kid, don’t be too nervous. The staff in your hand is quite good, and the tier of your equipnt is not low either. Are you a student of a human divine powerhouse?" Malcolm’s brother asked.
Noticing that the other party did not seem to have any bad intentions, Aiden looked a little uncertain.
If he used long-distance teleportation now, it would take even more ti to co back later.
If this person really was Malcolm’s brother, then there should not be any danger, right?
"Let introduce myself. My na is Darius," the Red Dwarves said with a smile.
"I didn’t expect to et a human here. Are you here to beco a Forgemaster?" Darius asked.
Aiden nodded. "Yes."
"You really are lucky," Darius suddenly said with a sigh.
Aiden was imdiately puzzled and did not understand why he said that.
Darius smiled and said directly, "The key to obtaining the Forgemaster class lies in the fragnt of the Starforge Hamr, which has been passed down in the Red Dwarves Clan."
"If you had co later, after I took the Starforge Hamr fragnt, you would have ended up with nothing."
A Starforge Hamr fragnt?
What was that?
Mythic Rank... could it be a fragnt of a Sacred Artifact?
Aiden imdiately thought of Dawn Society. Could this Darius be a mber of Dawn Society?
"Co on, follow ," Darius said as he slowly turned around.
Aiden took a deep breath, and a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
He did not know much about Dawn Society, and if he followed him any farther, it might be dangerous.
But if Darius really was going to take the Starforge Hamr fragnt, then Aiden would no longer be able to beco a Forgemaster.
"What? Are you scared?" Darius suddenly stopped and said with a smile.
"Relax. I only want you to pass along a few words for ."
The hesitation in Aiden’s eyes disappeared.If he missed this chance, he might truly never be able to beco a Forgemaster in the future.
Besides, this Darius did not give Aiden a very bad feeling.
"What do you want to tell him?" Aiden asked calmly.
Darius shook his head slightly and said softly,
"Tell my foolish older brother that it won’t be long before I take his life."
