Chapter 50

As Li Huailin walked along, he never expected the space inside the cave to be so vast. Especially towards the back, it no longer felt like a cave. Li Huailin suspected that he might have already walked out through another exit.

The surroundings were still a deep red, with no light shining down from above. The ground had some pools of lava that faintly illuminated the environment, but the light couldn't reach the ceiling, and Li Huailin had no idea how high the place was. Beside the lava pools, there were some fire elementals wandering around. These fire elementals were slightly different from those outside; although they still had the appearance of a red humanoid figure floating in the air without legs, they now had some red armor, making them look more advanced.

Li Huailin tried to use the "Detect" skill and found that he could see their attributes.

Fire Elemental Guardian: Level 20, HP: 1400, Physical Attack: 90, Magic Attack: 100, Physical Defense: 60, Magic Defense: 90. Skills: Fireball, Elemental Body.

Fireball: Fire damage 75-100, casting time 2 seconds.

Elemental Body: Reduces fire damage by 75%, increases frost damage by 75%.

"Huh? Can I see the skills too?" Li Huailin noticed that this was the first monster whose skills he could see. It was probably to remind players not to use fire magic but to use ice magic for increased damage, which was quite considerate. The physical defense of these fire elementals wasn't high, and their HP wasn't thick, but their attack power was too high, and most players wouldn't be able to withstand it.

He chose a lone Fire Elemental Guardian and approached to test it. Since his level was 5 levels lower than the monster, the Fire Elemental Guardian's alert range was much larger. The fire elemental saw Li Huailin from a distance and immediately started to cast a fireball without saying a word.

However, the casting time for the fireball was 2 seconds, and Li Huailin's movement speed was astonishing. Even though the Fire Elemental Guardian had started casting early, Li Huailin still managed to strike first.

-511

It wasn't a critical hit, and the damage wasn't optimistic. Li Huailin was already level 15, with his attack power reaching over 600, but the damage he dealt was similar to what he dealt to small monsters in the Abyssal Dungeon, suggesting that this place had the difficulty of an Abyssal Dungeon.

Just as he was surprised, the Fire Elemental Guardian spread its hands, and a fireball directly hit Li Huailin's face, exploding with a "pop." Of course, this was just a magic animation effect; in reality, it was just a magic attack, and he wouldn't feel the heat or anything like that.

-141, +8

Two numbers appeared. Li Huailin was startled by the 141 damage, which was the strongest damage he had seen from a small monster since his attributes were enhanced. The mage from the Doomsday Guild's team had only dealt less than 100 damage to him. The +8 number was familiar to Li Huailin; the fireball had a burning effect. Checking his buff bar, he indeed had a new buff.

Burning: Increases health by 8 points every 2 seconds, lasting 10 seconds.

"So, 40 points of damage. One fireball from a monster deals 140 points of damage, and then adds 40 points, which means 100 points of damage. It seems I can handle it." Li Huailin thought. He had no way to heal himself, so he could only rely on natural healing. He hadn't invested in constitution, so even with a 280% attribute bonus, the healing speed was still quite slow.

Fortunately, Li Huailin's attack was high, and the monster's casting time was similar to a mage's. When attacked, the casting bar would be pushed back. So Li Huailin immediately attacked, dealing two hits of over 500 damage. Before the monster could cast a second fireball, he had already taken it down.

"Gelkin will punish you!" The Fire Elemental Guardian shouted and then turned into red light, dispersing. Its armor immediately lost its color and fell to the ground.

"Does this small monster have a line?" Li Huailin was taken aback. Usually, small monsters didn't have lines; otherwise, players would be annoyed. Could this monster have some kind of story?

He checked his battle log and saw that a small monster had cost him 55 experience points. He had just earned a few thousand points from the Doomsday Guild, so 55 points were acceptable. The main thing was to see what it dropped. Was the deed here?

Bending down to search the Fire Elemental Guardian's body, Li Huailin found 17 copper coins and a small red bead.

Flame Heart: Blacksmithing, Leatherworking, Tailoring, Engineering, Alchemy material.

"Are you kidding me?" Li Huailin, who couldn't learn any secondary professions, found secondary profession materials, which was the most frustrating thing. "Forget about the deed; it's a small monster. Even dropping an item would be good, as it could be sold for money. Wait, how much is this thing worth?"

Li Huailin suddenly thought that since this was from a secret realm, it should be worth something, even if it was just a material. However, he didn't know the market price, so he decided to ask a powerful woman he knew.

"What do you want?" When he connected the remote call, Hongchen Yan Yu's annoyed voice came through.

"I have a question. I found something called a Flame Heart. Is it worth anything?" Li Huailin asked.

"Flame Heart, huh." Hearing it was business, Hongchen Yan Yu became serious. "It's not a rare item. Fire elementals have a chance to drop it. Some blacksmithing and tailoring recipes require it, and the demand is quite high. How many do you have? If you have a large amount, over 100, you can sell them for 5 silver each."

"Damn." Li Huailin almost threw away the Flame Heart, thinking it was a rare item from a secret realm, but it turned out to be a common item, worth only 5 silver, less than a health potion.

"By the way, the boss asked me to ask you how your talks with the Doomsday Guild are going. Why are you fighting fire elementals? Are you in the Lava Rift?"

"Uh... well..." Li Huailin scratched his head. "Things seem to be different from what I expected. The Doomsday Guild is very cunning, and it doesn't seem easy to reach an agreement."

"Of course. The Lava Rift is so profitable; if our guild occupied it, we wouldn't let anything out." Hongchen Yan Yu nodded. "What are you doing now? Shui'er just woke up and is getting dressed. She'll probably log in soon and look for you."

"Damn, you can't see the difference in the game. Why is she getting dressed?" Li Huailin was confused.

"I like it, what's wrong with that?" Hongchen Yan Yu said hurriedly.

"Hey, you're getting dressed too?" Li Huailin really didn't understand what women were thinking.

"You... why do you care so much? I'm hanging up." Hongchen Yan Yu said.

"Wait, I have something to tell you. I ended up in a very frustrating secret realm due to some unpleasant events. I just met an NPC who said that rare items might drop in the secret realm. Do you think a deed might drop?"

"Secret realm?" Hongchen Yan Yu was taken aback. "I've heard of it, but I've never encountered it. I don't know what might drop. Have you found any rare items?"

"No, I just killed the first monster and got a Flame Heart. I thought it was rare, but it turned out to be a common item. Damn."

"The boss asked where the secret realm is and if we can help you?" Hongchen Yan Yu, who was with Hongyue, relayed the message.

"Uh, the secret realm is in the Lava Rift, but you can't enter. Who can withstand the lava? I'll keep fighting to see if I can find anything good. If not, I'll just find a monster and die to get out."

"Be careful with the chests. I heard that the chance of chests spawning in a secret realm is higher than in an Abyssal Dungeon."

"Got it, no problem. Help me keep your cousin in check."

"Hehe." Hongchen Yan Yu suddenly giggled. "Okay, I got it."
