Global Floating Islands: I Have SSS Talent-Chapter 256 - 206: Rebirth and the Marvelous Underground World

Chapter 256: Chapter 206: Rebirth and the Marvelous Underground World

Through these five days of trading, Han Xing collected a total of 134 Philosopher’s Stones.

Counting his own reserves, he barely reached 241 pieces.

There’s still a long way to go to create the Divine Artifact [Oracle Throne].

Not to mention the even more extravagant demand for [Holy Artifact: Sun Crown Stele].

Everyone knew how precious this material was, after all, it’s one of the main materials for crafting a Divine Artifact.

Shen Yun rolled his eyes and said, "Still talking about a Philosopher’s Stone vein, finding a Purple Gold Ore vein here would already make us rich."

"And I bet a material like the Philosopher’s Stone isn’t something that can just be mined easily."

Cheng Jianyong paused for a moment, "Can’t you mine Philosopher’s Stones?"

"Then how do you get this material?"

Shen Yun shrugged, indicating he didn’t know either.

Cheng Jianyong sighed, "Alright then, without Philosopher’s Stones, wouldn’t mind getting a Sun Treasure Chest!"

Although Cheng Jianyong’s wish was like a dream, everyone still held onto a bit of hope.

Then, as they continued further, they suddenly saw a blaze ahead.

Illuminating the deep mine tunnel.

Then they saw a shocking scene.

At the end of the mine tunnel.

It was a very spacious cave.

And at the bottom of the cave was a pool.

The pool was flowing with scorching lava.

It turned out to be a hidden lava pool deep within the mountain range!

Sizzle... sizzle...

Occasionally, a few pieces of rock would fall into the lava pool below, making a sizzling sound.

"Geez... Is this, did we dig to the earth’s core?" Cheng Jianyong was amazed.

Everyone was also shocked, looking at this magical underground world.

Deep in the mountains, there was such a vast lava pool, truly miraculous.

No wonder, from the outside, the whole range looked as if it had been burned by fire.

The peculiar terrain also produced a variety of rare minerals.

On the edge of the lava pool, everyone could see three or four pieces of stone gleaming green like jade.

And at the top of the cave, they could occasionally see a bit of golden and purple light.

Those were Constant Gold Ore and Purple Gold Ore buried deep within.

Besides those, the natural mine cave also contained many scattered rare minerals.

At this moment, Cheng Jianyong pointed to the center of the lava pool, surprised.

"Hey, Brother Xing, look over there, doesn’t it look like Lava Crystal Stones?"

Everyone followed the sound, seeing above the bubbling pool.

On the cave’s ceiling, a couple of glowing red stones could be faintly seen embedded within the crevices.

The stones resembled glowing glass beads, crystal clear, varying in size.

Han Xing thought for a moment, compared it to the materials in his hand, and nodded, "Seems like it."

Everyone was overjoyed.

Lava Crystal Stones are considered advanced materials.

Their uses are also quite broad, able to be enchanted onto equipment to slightly enhance fire element attack damage.

They can also be used in equipment creation, being one of the main materials for crafting Orange Weapon, [Flame Dominator Staff].

But since their drop rate is extremely low, they only appear in extreme environments.

So on the entire trading channel, they are priceless and without a market.

Yet here, they could spot several at a glance.

This signaled a rich reserve of Lava Crystal Stones within the entire mine.

If all could be extracted, it would mean a fortune!

Just when everyone thought they discovered a treasure.

They suddenly felt the ground underneath them tremble violently.

Then they saw the center of the lava pool starting to surge violently.

Blub... blub...

The lava pool bubbled like boiling water, occasionally releasing scalding bubbles.

As if some creature was awakening inside, about to burst out!

Everyone’s expression turned serious, sensing a bad omen.

"Something’s off, let’s retreat." Han Xing immediately ordered.

Then, Han Xing gestured to Zhang Lianmeng and Su Xiaoyang to go to the front.

The two women understood, turned around, and rushed into the mine tunnel.

Then, Han Xing and Shen Yun followed.

Cheng Jianyong brought up the rear.

Due to the narrow space of the mine tunnel, which barely allowed one adult to pass at a time.

Thus, everyone’s speed was similarly limited.

They hadn’t gone far.

When they suddenly felt the ground underneath them shake more intensely, as if the whole mine tunnel was about to collapse!

And just then, everyone suddenly heard a violent gushing sound from the lava pool behind them.

Wave after wave of scorching heat surged toward them.

Rumble!

After a strong tremor.

They vaguely felt that something extraordinary seemed to have emerged from the lava pool!

Cheng Jianyong couldn’t help but look back.

The next moment, he cried out, "Holy crap, level 40 Leader Monster!"

"Run!"

At that, everyone didn’t think twice, turning around to flee.

The 40th level Leader Monster was equivalent to a 39th level Lord-level creature.

Additionally, they were in a narrow mine tunnel, an area unsuitable for combat.

For the moment, the five began to frantically find an escape route.

Behind them, the Leader Monster seemed to notice them.

And launched an attack.

A massive magma ball surged forward, brightening up the dark mine tunnel.

At this point, Cheng Jianyong was at the rear, and with low agility, was almost hit directly by the magma ball.

Bang!!!

The magma ball hit Cheng Jianyong’s back, exploding with the sound of a cannonball!

The enormous impact caused Cheng Jianyong to fall flat on his face.

Though, he was clad in top-grade equipment, significantly reducing the damage he received.

However, the attack from the Four-star Leader was not that simple.

After the magma ball exploded, it stuck to Cheng Jianyong’s back, constantly sizzling.

The burning heat penetrated through his armor, continually corroding his body.

Instantly, Cheng Jianyong’s back turned charred black.

Everyone even smelled a savory meat aroma wafting over.

"Hiss..."

Cheng Jianyong sucked in a breath of cold air, feeling the burning pain on his back, he quickly poured an Intermediate Life Secret Elixir into his mouth to heal the wounds.

Although the magma ball didn’t cause as much damage as imagined.

The pain was real!

He didn’t want to endure another magma ball explosion.

Yet, things didn’t go as planned.

The mine tunnel continued to shake.

Just after Cheng Jianyong recovered from his injuries, he suddenly felt waves of heat coming from his back again!

This was a precursor of the creature preparing for an attack.

At this time, his eyes darted around.

Cheng Jianyong suddenly shouted, "Guys, wait a moment, I just saw a huge treasure chest!"

Everyone in the front stopped at his words.

Then they all turned around to look.

Shen Yun asked, "A huge treasure chest, where?"

Cheng Jianyong gestured behind him, at a fork in the mine tunnel, "Over there, inside."

Everyone was skeptical, slowly edging closer.

Yet just as Shen Yun was about to approach Cheng Jianyong.

Cheng Jianyong suddenly grabbed Shen Yun’s armor, yanking him over and kicking him forward.

Shen Yun, suddenly kicked, was a bit confused.

The next moment, Cheng Jianyong shouted, "Brother Xing, the Leader inside is about to attack, run!"

With those words, he started sprinting forward.

Upon hearing this, Han Xing instantly grabbed Zhang Lianmeng and Su Xiaoyang, rushing towards the tunnel exit.

Shen Yun: "I^&%;*"

"Cheng Jianyong, you bastard, I’m going to beat you to a pulp!"

However, seeing this, Cheng Jianyong laughed, "Hahaha, Xiaoyunzi, you’re tough, help block this for me!"

At this moment, the magma ball attacked once more.

Shen Yun looked furious.

Despite that, he immediately cast a Holy Light Shield on himself, holding the Shield of Yellow Sand, steadfastly withstood the fiery impact from behind!

Rumble!

The terrifying heat wave was firmly blocked by Shen Yun.

After the Third Transformation, the Radiant Knight’s constitution doubled once again.

Adding in his formidable equipment, enduring an attack from a Four-star Leader was no difficult task.

Taking advantage of this gap.

Everyone managed to rush out of the tunnel.
