Chapter 600: Ancient Arad Empire |
Li Wei quickly calmed down and began to ponder countermeasures.
At present, the heavy armor all over his body had been blocked up by Lava, just like scalding hot concrete pouring in. Although it was very uncomfortable, he could still hold on.
Of course, he couldn't breathe, couldn't open his eyes, everything entirely relied on Perception.
Anyway, holding on down below for two or three hours wasn't a problem.
Should I first dig a few pieces to take back?
But how to dig?
Right while he was conflicted, Li Wei suddenly discovered an interesting thing: this set of Six-Star Heavy Armor of his, under the state of this very moment, was unexpectedly slowly upgrading.
Yes, its quality was upgrading bit by bit.
The Lava in this place, whose temperature maxed out at thirteen hundred to fifteen hundred degrees, seemed to have some kind of special magic, or had undergone some kind of mutation. Anyway, it was indeed making the heavy armor slowly sublimate its quality.
At this time, he could clearly sense that the Lava was injecting and merging into the heavy armor in a particle pattern, filling up some of the tiny crevices inside.
Okay, he could only describe it like this.
Before and after, in less than ten minutes, the quality of this set of heavy armor had already upgraded to 1%. Waiting until it was enhanced to 100%, that would definitely be able to reach Seven-Star quality ah.
Too miraculous.
So, could it be used to repair the cracked Chaos Expansion Card?
Li Wei's thinking was still diverging when he suddenly felt something wasn't right. Because right at this moment, all the Spatial Resource Cards he carried on his body completely became unstable. Before he could even react, they all completely cracked and broke.
All the supplies inside dropped out. Those flammable supplies, for instance various foods and various medicines, were burned clean at the first instance. The rest, for instance Five-Star and Four-Star wood, also basically entirely burned to ashes. Even including the three million Standard Gold Coins and one million Neanderthal Gold Coins he carried inside, entirely, completely dissolved.
The only things left over were his 6-Star Light Armor Set, 5-Star Two-Handed Greatsword, as well as a hundred 5-Star Bloodthirsty Throwing Spears, and then various arrowheads————
Li Wei wanted to cry but had no tears. Even the Heaven-Veiling Card he carried was forcibly activated in this place.
It's all over; this wave lost at least ten million Gold Coins.
But, wait?
Li Wei suddenly discovered that the exploded Chaos Expansion Card was rapidly repairing. It truly could be repaired, and not knowing why, this repair speed suddenly accelerated.
Even the quality upgrade speed of his heavy armor and Light Armor were increasing.
At least a three times increase.
The feeling was too different.
Was it because the Mana concentration here suddenly became higher?
Didn't know, but it seemed it was no longer important. Li Wei stared blankly for a second, then resolutely took out that Six-Star Artifact Bow. He couldn't bear to part with his Seven-Star Holy Ranger Bow and didn't dare take the risk. After all, the core of the Seven-Star Holy Ranger Bow was already leaning towards the Ice Element. Wouldn't taking it out here simply be courting death?
But the Six-Star Artifact Bow could be tried.
Sure enough, sure enough it was effective.
Wow, this Primal Ore Vein is also too miraculous right.
Moreover, this was still a fringe ore vein. No wonder those Samsara Travelers and Contractors wanted to mine the Primal Ore Vein at any cost; it turned out there was still this kind of benefit!
This way, even if the family fortune was emptied out, it was still worth it ah.
Next, Li Wei quietly waited beneath the Lava. After roughly an hour, the quality upgrade of his heavy armor and Light Armor both reached 50%, but that Chaos Expansion Card had thoroughly completed its repair.
At this time, Li Wei's heart stirred, and he again took out that Ghost-Head Pass. As a result, Good Heavens, this item had just been taken out when a mournful and resentful miserable shriek was heard. This thing directly turned into a wisp of light smoke————okay, couldn't see it, anyway it was just gone.
This was truly unexpected for him. He had also thought this pass and the Chaos Expansion Card were substances of the same type.
Looking at it now, instead it was the material of the Chaos Expansion Card that was somewhat interesting.
However, although this thing had completed its repair, there was no information transmitted out whatsoever, as if the system had rebooted. Of course, it could also be that the environment here shielded information too much.
So from now on, was he equivalent to being able to commit Defection out of the Alliance of Myriad Heavens Lords?
This thought flashed past, but was subsequently thrown into the garbage pile by Li Wei.
Previously perhaps he had this thought, but after seeing the situation outside, he truly didn't want to. The Alliance of Myriad Heavens Lords might have this or that shortcoming, but at least there was a bottom line, a guarantee, and he could enjoy Retirement.
"Just don't know how Adai is doing now? This guy seems to know some incredible secrets."
Li Wei recalled at this time that Adai's actions just now absolutely had a quite deep understanding of this kind of situation.
So now he wasn't in a rush to go back either.
Very quickly, that 5-Star Two-Handed Greatsword of his also upgraded to Six-Star. Including the Tower Shield, one hundred Javelins, three thousand arrowheads and so on, uniformly upgraded to Six-Star.
However, it also seemed to have reached the bottom.
The enhancement speed began to slow down again. Obviously, this was an influence caused by the supplies Li Wei carried just now.
The good news was that the heavy armor set he wore on his body had also finally reached Seven-Star quality.
At this moment, Li Wei couldn't linger any longer. He had held this breath for nearly three hours; if he still didn't go out, he would be very injured.
Previously outside, although the air was scorching hot and thin, after all he could still hold on.
It was just that Li Wei had just thought of rising when he was trapped by a Frost Barrier. But he saw Adai drilling out from somewhere unknown, stopping him.
And within the Frost Barrier, Li Wei immediately breathed a large mouthful of fresh air; the effect was extremely good.
At this moment, Adai, who had turned back into a little crow, blinked his eyes at Li Wei, then soared into the sky again, drilling out along the Lava.
Holy shit, this crow has become a spirit.
Li Wei faintly felt something wasn't right, because just now, that Six-Star Pet Card was also melted. In essence, that was also a sub-space created by Space Magic. In this kind of miraculous land right now, it would be weird if it could hold on.
Next, Li Wei continued to wait in place, and every three hours, Adai would punctually bring a large mouthful of fresh air.
Continuously waiting until his Six-Star Light Armor also smoothly upgraded to Seven-Star, and that Six-Star Artifact Bow also subsequently upgraded to Seven-Star.
Speaking from quality, it was not the slightest bit inferior to that Seven-Star Holy Ranger Bow of his.
It was just that this bow had Flame Mana as its core. As for what the specific power was, and whether he could use it as Doing Something With Ease as before, for the time being it was still unclear.
When Adai dove down for the ninth time, he finally grabbed Li Wei, taking him out of this area.
Because here, the Seven-Star Heavy Armor and Seven-Star Light Armor, including the Seven-Star Artifact Bow, were all already unable to continue being enhanced.
After climbing upwards over a hundred meters in one breath, rolling heat waves came. But Li Wei at this moment was just like an airtight steel can. Although it was so hot it was somewhat collapsing, he could completely not rely on Adai's ice body protection and could rush out in one breath.
Waiting until returning to the rock wall crevice, only then did that Chaos Expansion Card finally have information come tardily.
[You were schemed against by someone, touching the Frost Seal on the experimental Dragon Egg forged by mages of the Ancient Arad Empire. Under the backlash of the seal, your Chaos Expansion Protection Card cracked and broke, and the protection effect was lost. But your Hunting Pet took the opportunity to absorb away the power within this Frost Seal, as well as the relevant Legacy. In addition, a portion of the ice power and relevant Legacy were preserved within the Chaos Expansion Protection Card.]
[Your Hunting Pet, because of its special nature, resolved the Frost Seal very well, and absorbed and extracted this kind of power. This became the key to its advancement. Now, he is no longer your Hunting Pet, because Hunting Pet can already not define his current state. But he remains incomparably loyal to you, and passionately loves and protects you. Now, you are his partner.]
[Your partner has already smoothly advanced to Seven-Star. Perhaps there are still some flaws in other aspects, but he can indeed already be considered a Seven-Star Class Holder, a Quasi-Fifth Tier Epic. He has read the relevant Legacy, his Soul has become powerful, and he has already acquired a preliminary understanding of everything.]
[The reason for everything is that mages of the Ancient Arad Empire attempted to modify a completely new kind of Magical Construct, which is also to say attempting to artificially manufacture an Ancient Ice Dragon. But this experiment failed; that Dragon Egg is a failed experimental product.]
[Your partner, compared to that naturally conceived Dragon Egg, is obviously more suited for this kind of experiment. Therefore, he smoothly mastered that Frost Seal. He can already Shapeshift into an ultra-miniature Ancient Ice Dragon, and to a certain degree has mastered the Draconic Magic of an Ancient Ice Dragon. Perhaps you can benefit immensely in this aspect.]
[Your partner, based on the current terrain, identified that this is where the ruins of a Nine Stars Primordial Mana Mine of the Ancient Arad Empire are located. Beneath this Lava, a mana mine of the Ancient Arad Empire is extremely likely hidden. Thus, after a series of attempts, this point was finally confirmed.]
[Congratulations, you have discovered a Primal Ore Vein, but this place seems to have already been occupied by another massive faction. In principle, you are already unable to recapture it. Even if this matter is transmitted back to the Alliance of Myriad Heavens Lords, there is no way at all. The Comprehensive Strength of this faction is actually already not weaker than the Alliance of Myriad Heavens Lords.]
[With the help of your partner, you found a branch mine of the Primordial Mana Mine that hasn't yet been destroyed, but in reality is also not much different from being destroyed. Here, because of the existence of the mana Lava, it temporarily maintains a kind of Pseudo-Operation working state. Relying on this discovery, you successfully purified your Heavy Armor Set, Light Armor Set, and weapon combination, and repaired this Chaos Guardian Expansion Card.]
[Friendly Reminder: Due to the process of being repaired anew, this Protection Card will undergo information reset. Currently, the highest Authority Weight has already transferred from Will Ryder, a 7-star council member of the Nine-Star Council, to your body. As long as you are unwilling, all the above information will not be shared with the Nine-Star Council. But if you are willing, you will obtain even more generous rewards, as well as possibly open the task to Rebuild the Arad Empire.]
[Friendly Reminder: Perhaps you can attempt to search for the remaining surviving Primordial Mana Mine veins. Your Heavy Armor Set, Light Armor Set, and various Weapons might be very difficult to continue enhancing and upgrading, but your Profession Cards might be able to undergo four-times Rare Enhancement at an appropriate time. This is the most rare enhancement. Currently, the Alliance of Myriad Heavens Lords also has no detailed data in this aspect. Please choose by yourself.]
[Friendly Reminder: Your Chaos Expansion Protection Card has already upgraded to a Chaos Guardian Expansion Card. You will enjoy 60 points of Collective Sanity protection.]
[Friendly Reminder: Because the pass you held has already been destroyed, the Neutral City will default to you already being dead. Next, if you appear swaggering around, the Neutral City might initiate a trial against you under some crime.]
