Online Game: Super Beast Tamer

Chapter 162: Magma Pursuit! (Subscribe~)

Su Ming walked around the lava lake and when he came to the side of the Fire Demon King, he saw a red crystal stone platform with an orange-red octagonal gem on it.

This stone platform was previously blocked by the Fire Demon King, so neither Su Ming nor Meng Huxiu Qiangwei noticed it.

Su Ming breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that a level 25 mission would not likely require players to defeat the Fire Demon King.

Fortunately, I looked for it and didn't start fighting directly.

"Menghu, come here." Su Ming smiled happily and waved to Menghu Sniffing Rose.

"Did you find anything?" The cute tiger sniffing rose trotted to Su Ming and also saw the orange-red gem.

"Is it the Molten Core?" Su Ming asked.

Meng Huwei Qiangwei compared the sketch on the task page, nodded vigorously, and praised:

"Great, great! I was too impatient."

Then, the cute tiger sniffing the rose looked at the lake with a radius of nearly 50 meters and raised a new question:

"How are we going to get the Molten Core? We certainly can't alert the Fire Lord."

When she asked the question, she was also thinking of a solution, and she quickly came up with this:

"Let Xiaotu throw me over there... It's only 100 meters away, and with luck, he should be able to get me up there."

"Don't take risks." Su Ming once again stopped the cute tiger from sniffing the rose. He looked at the rocks hanging above the lake and said, "In fact, the corpses in the cave have already told us how to get the orange-red gem."

"Hmm?" The image of Su Ming searching for corpses flashed through Meng Hu Xi Qiangwei's mind, and she asked, "Is it the Iron Claw?"

"That's right!" Su Ming opened his backpack and looked down for the Iron Claw.

As soon as he took out the iron claw, Meng Hu Xi Qiangwei poured a basin of cold water on him:
"But...they all turned into bones. Doesn't that prove that this method is not feasible?"

What Menghuxiuqiangwei said was not wrong. According to the normal process, this mission did require finding the iron claw, but it also required leaving the cave and repairing the iron claw. Neither of them had thought of this.

Su Ming was speechless for a moment. After a moment of silence, he said:

"Let's try it first. I have other props that can be used with the Iron Claw."

Su Ming was talking about the "Feathers of Gliding" and the "Scarf of Deep Sea Grip".

"Then can you use it? I think the iron claw is broken."

"Only the launching function is broken, the grabbing function is still good."

The iron claw that Su Ming found looked a bit like the claw in a claw machine. As long as you throw an object and hit the switch in the center of the claw, the iron claw will automatically close and grab the object. Then, with more force, you can pull the claw apart.

Su Ming took the iron claw and swung it like a cowboy.

Swish.

Su Ming threw the iron claw out, the center of the claw hit the rock and then tightened.

The cute tiger sniffed the rose and found that the iron claw had hit the rock behind her, and asked worriedly:

"Um...did you throw it in the wrong direction? Or let Xiao Tu throw it for me."

"No, let me try it first." Su Ming jogged and jumped, swinging like a monkey. When he swung to about 60 degrees, the iron claw could no longer bear Su Ming's weight and loosened.

When the iron claw was still good, it would automatically retract, but now, it can only retract part of it, and there is still about 1.5 meters of iron chain remaining outside, so it must be swung before it can be launched again.

If Su Ming didn't have the gliding feathers, he wouldn't have time to operate it. After he had them, he successfully threw out the iron claws during the time he stayed in the air and grabbed a new rock.

Su Ming repeated this process over and over again, circling above the cave and landing steadily back next to the cute tiger sniffing rose.

When the cute tiger sniffed the rose saw Su Ming's series of actions, her mouth opened wide. She asked in disbelief:

"Have you used similar props before?"

"No, it's my first time using it."

"You used it so well the first time?"

"It's not that difficult. The coordination of characters in the game is much better than in reality." Su Ming's agility has exceeded 100 points with the bonus of equipment. He can do some actions that are impossible in reality, but he doesn't think it's a big deal.

"It is stronger than in reality, but that doesn't mean you can perform these actions just because you are stronger than in reality." Meng Huxiu Qiangwei said, "What you are playing... is to squeeze out every attribute function to the extreme.

I guess your brain speed is about the same as those professional players."

"Brain speed?"

Cute Tiger Sniffing Rose explained to Su Ming:

“In the era of keyboards and mice, there was hand speed. In the virtual age, there is brain speed. In other words, it is reaction speed.

According to general statistics, a brain speed below 100 is the reaction of the elderly and young children, 100-175 is for middle-aged people, and 175-250 is normal for teenagers.

Those who are in control of the game in the weekly and monthly rankings, except for a few who rely on awareness, are basically above 250, and you are probably about the same."

Su Ming nodded. After playing the game, he indeed found that he was better than others in some aspects, such as the accuracy of skills, control of distance, precise command of pets and so on.

In addition to his fast reaction speed, Su Ming felt that his super memory should also play a very important role.

Even though he is a vegetable, his brain is still quite useful, hehe.

"What are you grinning about?" asked the cute tiger sniffing the rose.

"It's nothing. I'm a professional player, so it's normal that I'm not much different from a professional player. Don't worry, as long as the Fire Lord doesn't wake up, you will definitely get the Molten Core."

Cute Tiger Sniffing Rose was infected by Su Ming's inexplicable confidence, so he gave him a thumbs up and said:

"come on."

Su Ming nodded, walked to the appropriate distance, and began to observe the distribution of rocks above the lake.

Menghuxiuqiangwei quietly turned on the video recording function. After a while, seeing that Su Ming was motionless, he asked:
"Why haven't you started yet?"

“I’m planning.”

"Plan?" As soon as Menghuxiuqiangwei finished speaking, Su Ming threw out his iron claw.

Su Ming swung into the lake, and Menghu Sniffing Rose's heart tightened - when they were at the edge of the lake, the Fire Demon King showed no signs of waking up. He didn't know if the Fire Demon King would be awakened when he entered the lake.

As Su Ming stretched out his claws for the second time, Menghu Sniffing Rose felt relieved. Very good, the Fire Demon King was still sleeping.

She began to concentrate on recording Su Ming's operations.

Because Su Ming was not wearing the guild badge, and Su Ming performed very well in the cave, she wanted to pull Su Ming into the guild to help her brother.

Although Hu Xiao Qianchuan is the president of Demon Realm, he can only command ordinary members. After the development of several virtual games, the strong teams in the club are increasingly looking down on him.

The cute tiger sniffing roses also played this game recently and found out that the usually majestic brother was actually a "fake tiger", so he came up with the idea of ​​helping the brother.

According to Menghuxiuqiangwei's judgment, Su Ming has the ability to at least be in the top ten of the weekly list, and he seems to be easy to talk to. If he is willing to help his brother, at least he can increase his brother's voice.

Just as the cute tiger was sniffing the rose and thinking, Su Ming made a mistake.

The Iron Claw carried Su Ming forward quickly according to what he had rehearsed in his mind, but he did not take the solidity of the rock into consideration.

The rock that Su Ming was holding now had been burned by magma for too long, and the roots had shown signs of melting. After bearing Su Ming's weight, it broke directly.

"Ah!" The cute tiger sniffing rose also noticed Su Ming's mistake and covered his mouth.

Xiao Hei was so anxious that he jumped around. Seeing Zuoemon's calm expression, he couldn't help but ask:
"Saemon, aren't you worried about the master?"

"I'm worried, but I think the master is very powerful and nothing will happen. Don't you trust the master?"

Being questioned for not trusting Su Ming, Xiao Hei became anxious:

“Dang…Dang…Of course I believe it! It’s just that belief and worry can be independent of each other…Damn it, I believe in the master more than you do!”

Su Ming did not let the two pets down. He adapted to the situation and came up with a solution.

He pulled back the iron claw with force, and two octopus tentacles flew out from his neck, grabbed the nearby rocks, and hung him in the air.

Just as the tentacles were retracting and were about to stick him to the hot rocks, he swung his iron claws and grabbed a new rock. Then he released the "Deep Sea Grasp" skill, and his body suddenly fell, gaining new kinetic energy and swinging in the air again.

Finally, Su Ming successfully arrived at the crystal stone platform.

Standing on the crystal stone platform, Su Ming received a "burning" debuff, which deducted 500 health points per second. Su Ming could only stand on it for no more than 20 seconds.

Just when Su Ming was about to take the Molten Core, a Dark Gold Treasure Chest suddenly appeared on the stone platform at his feet.

Dark gold!

Su Ming was overjoyed at first, but then he frowned - it would take more than ten seconds to open the treasure chest, and it was too late.

Su Ming thought that he had promised Menghuxiuqiangwei that he would try his best to help her complete the task. If this treasure chest was opened, the task would be affected.

Complete the task first, then open the treasure chest when you have the chance.

Su Ming suppressed the desire to open the treasure chest, picked up the Molten Core, and a 3-second progress bar appeared.

It actually requires a reading bar, which proves that Molten Core can only be obtained by players or NPCs, and it won't work if you rely on a flying pet.

After the 3-second reading was completed, Su Ming was about to put the Molten Core into his backpack and leave, but he received a system prompt.

System: Special mission items cannot be stored in the backpack.

Su Ming immediately changed his strategy, stuffed the gem into the potion belt and fastened the button. At this time, 5 seconds had passed and 2500 health points had been deducted.

"Spores! The Fire Demon King has awakened!" On the shore, the cute tiger sniffing roses suddenly shouted.

The Fire Demon King, who was originally sleeping, slowly opened his eyes, and the entire lake began to boil.

Su Ming quickly swung the iron claw and returned the same way.

The boiling magma lake constantly exploded bubbles, and some magma splashed onto Su Ming, causing 500 to 1000 points of damage.

Behind Su Ming, not long after he left, the dark gold treasure chest suddenly opened its lid by itself. The edge of the lid was covered with sharp teeth, and a huge tongue spewed out of the box.

The crystal platform was dissolved by the boiling magma. The dark gold treasure chest monster roared at Su Ming and sank along with the crystal platform.

This treasure chest actually contains a monster. If Su Ming tries to open it, he will surely die!
"Dirty thief, get ready to face the fire of the Fire Demon King!" The Fire Demon King stretched out his arm and threw a large amount of magma towards Su Ming.

Su Ming pulled the iron claw hard to loosen it, speeding up the descent.

The lava passed over Su Ming's head. Su Ming fell to the shore, rolled twice to relieve the force, took out the return stone and prepared to return to the city, but found that the special map could not be used...

Su Ming immediately stood up, rushed towards the cute tiger sniffing the rose, and shouted:
"Run!"

The Fire Demon King stood up from the lake. Su Ming looked back and realized that it was not a lake but a part of the Fire Demon King's body.

The Fire Demon King seemed to be a plug, suppressing the magma in the cave.

After it stood up, the magma that was blocked by it gushed out like a flood.

Su Ming took Xiao Hei and Zuoemon back to the pet space and rushed towards the cute tiger sniffing the rose. Before she could react, Su Ming pulled her hand and ran towards the entrance of the cave.

Just as the cute tiger sniffing the rose was about to resist, a bottle of cold potion and gems were passed to her. Su Ming grinned and said to her:
"Mission completed. There is also a Swiftness Potion, which speeds things up. Drink it for free."

Then Su Ming let go of his hand.

Being chased by the lava, Su Ming felt very excited. He ran wildly, shouting and screaming, and soon he distanced himself from the cute tiger sniffing rose...

The situation was urgent. Faced with the intimacy reminder that popped up from the system, Menghu Xiqiangwei didn't think carefully and just clicked yes. Then he activated the ancient contract and called out all the summons at once.

The wind element accelerated, and then the fastest lightning element carried her and ran, barely catching up with Su Ming...

About three minutes later, Su Ming arrived at the entrance.

He looked back and saw the Fire Demon King behind him swinging his huge hammer violently. The magma behind him seemed to be its soldiers, charging forward with great force.

The cute tiger was still a little slow in sniffing the rose and was about to be caught up.

"Help!"

Deep sea grip!

Two octopus hands stretched out from Su Ming's neck, and they immediately grabbed the cute tiger sniffing the rose, quickly pulling it towards him, avoiding the attack of the Fire Demon King.

Due to the characteristics of the deep-sea grip, the cute tiger sniffing roses leaned against Su Ming's chest, and a reminder of "harassment punishment" came. Now Su Ming was still operating, so of course she clicked no...

After I clicked "no", a reminder of intimacy appeared. I hesitated for a moment, and felt that Su Ming was quite handsome just now, so I quietly clicked "yes".

Su Ming jumped down the cliff with the cute tiger sniffing the rose.

The Fire Demon King rushed to the broken stone gate but was stopped by a powerful magic circle. He roared and swung his hammer wildly, and was gradually submerged in the cave by the magma.

The Fire Lord cannot leave the volcanic cave, but the lava can!
The sticky and hot magma gushed out and quickly spread along the hillside, killing the monsters, melting the rocks, and sending thick smoke rising into the sky.

Su Ming hugged the cute tiger and sniffed the rose, and was about to fall.

Feeling the heat wave below, Meng Huxiu Qiangwei panicked and subconsciously looked for support. She looked up at Su Ming and said fearfully:

"How to do?"

Su Ming smiled and replied:

“First, lower your perception… then, watch me!
hammer!"

Su Ming shouted, and the newly captured Molten Flame Element was summoned directly below.

Su Ming has not forgotten the scene of the hammer swimming in the magma just now.

"Catch me, please~"

Although Hammer's loyalty was low, it was at least not zero. It had the instinct to protect its trainer. It raised its hands and caught Su Ming.

"Very good, please take me out of the lava~" Su Ming asked Hammer again.

The flames under Hammer's body squirmed, and he went down the mountain carrying Su Ming and Menghu Sniffing Rose.
