Your secret game is absolutely poisonous!

Chapter 252: Land Reclamation Artifact Meteorite Staff
Higanbana is still scratching its head in confusion.

The adventurers have already started to make a fuss.

"The Selia Crystal Tunnel? I've never heard of this place before."

"Boss Higanbana, you are the first one to discover this place. Maybe there is a treasure in it!"

"Hurry and take action!"

"Explore the way for everyone!"

"..."

Unable to return to Dragon's Breath Ruins.

There is no other choice at this moment.

"Okay, no problem. Since you're curious, let me see what this place has to offer!"

Higanbana cautiously walked out of the area and saw a long mine tunnel appear before her. After observing it, she whispered, "First of all, we can be sure that this is an underground mine, and it's most likely still in operation."

There was the sound of excavation work in all directions.

There were also a lot of welding-like sounds mixed in.

Higanbana tiptoed through the mine passage and saw a large working area in front of her. There were many wooden houses, planks, scaffoldings, and a large number of torches and braziers, making the environment very bright and transparent.

“Is it really a mining area?”

"What are these guys digging for?"

"Are these miners human? Why do they look like this?"

"..."

[You have unlocked the Monster Guide: Pyroxene Miner! ]

These working miners look like deformed humans. Not only are they skinny and bald, but their skin is petrified over large areas, and stones are growing on their heads, backs, thighs and other parts of their bodies.

Its abdominal organs also mutated.

The entire chest and abdomen are covered with pyroxene that emits blue light.

These miners use a long staff as their digging tool, with a blue-white energy beam condensed at the end, which impacts or crushes the ore like an electrician's welding torch.

"These miners used to be powerful magicians. Because they worked in mines filled with energy pollution for a long time, their bodies underwent changes."

Higanbana checked the dungeon monster encyclopedia and learned the basic information and strength of the pyroxene miner. "Only a level one, two-star strength? It doesn't look very strong!"

The pyroxene miners looked confused.

Although it looks a bit scary, it is not very aggressive.

Higanbana locked onto a lone miner and quickly launched three magic gravels. The latter fell down and died without even having a chance to fight back. Not only did a small amount of rune explode, but also several pieces of broken pyroxene.

"Hey, not bad. Rune production is close to that of Grek soldiers. I think I found a good place to farm Rune!"

Higanbana was pleasantly surprised. "This mine is quite large. I estimate there are one or two hundred miners. Isn't this much better than slaughtering ordinary residents in the Dragon's Breath Ruins?"

Just when she thought she had found a good place to kill monsters and level up.

A sharp whistling sounded from behind, and dense spikes came towards him as fast as a rainstorm.

"What is that?!" Higanbana was caught off guard and was hit directly by a wave of spikes in an instant. She hurriedly took out the red dewdrop holy grail bottle, took a sip and locked onto the attacker at the same time.

[You have unlocked the Monster Guide: Corrupted Follower! ]

This is another ugly monster that has never been seen before. According to the monster encyclopedia, it is called Corrupted Follower.

The corrupt followers appear to be human at first glance, but are full of insect features. Their abdomens are densely covered with tentacle-like legs, and their overall shape is similar to that of centipedes or shrimps. At the same time, they hold a spear in their hands and emit a sharp long howl.

But in the blink of an eye.

Four or five more corrupt followers came rushing over from various directions.

These corrupt minions simultaneously released the spikes on their bodies. Hundreds of toxic spikes came towards them like raindrops, so dense that they were impossible to avoid.

The red spider lily has no chance of escape.

The entire area was covered without any blind spots, and he was shot like a hedgehog on the spot. It was a very miserable death.

The adventurers were all stunned.

"what?"

"This monster looks so disgusting!"

"Are these shrimp-like creatures also intelligent beings?"

"Fuck, that Bianhua boss died so tragically. He really died before he could even accomplish anything."

"I knew this cave wasn't that simple. The treasure chest in the Dragon's Breath Ruins is clearly a trap!"

"..."

Soon after.

The red spider lily is resurrected and blooms again.

The result still appeared in the Selia Crystal Mine.

The location is where you were just teleported to.

"Hey, what's going on? Why are we still in the mine?"

"Could it be that Boss Higanbana is trapped in this damn place?"

After the adventurer died at the border.

Generally, you will be resurrected at the blessed point you have been to.

But this situation has never happened before.

Ran Tianyun: "I think the blessing point has a limited range as a safe resurrection point. The place where the red spider lily was teleported is too far away. There is no activated blessing within the effective range nearby, so it is impossible to return to the blessing point."

Rock: "That makes sense. If we want to go back, we have to find a way to get out of the mine, otherwise we will be trapped here forever."

"Hmph, that's just what I want. Now that I'm here, I won't be willing to go back without exploring properly." Higanbana was very optimistic. "I have a feeling there must be something good here!"

No need to be long-winded.

Take action again.

Higanbana entered the mine operation area again.

She found that the pyroxene miner she had just killed appeared again.

This means that the mine will be reset, and monsters will be refreshed every time you die, so relying on grinding bit by bit and fighting in a rotation manner will not work.

Higanbana drew out her dagger and stabbed backwards, quietly approaching and killing the man with one blow to the heart from the back. Then, with the help of magic and powerful weapons, she quickly hunted down several pyroxene miners who were concentrating on their work.

A lot of Rune was revealed again.

Plus several useful materials.

For example, things like forging stone, cracked pyroxene, gravity stone, etc.

However, although the red spider lily was very careful, it soon attracted the attention of the mantis shrimp people. These corrupt followers were obviously the supervisors of the mine, and they immediately became alert when they found that the pyroxene miners had died.

with no exceptions.

The red spider lily was besieged again.

Once again he fell under the torrent of poisonous stingers.

"I still don't believe it!"

When the red spider lily is resurrected again.

When he died twice in a row at the hands of corrupt family members.

She felt very unhappy. These ugly shrimp people were not very strong. They were only first-level four-star to five-star. They could only kill her instantly by relying on their long-range attack capabilities of sweeping large areas and concentrating their firepower.

This time, strike first!
Higanbana takes the initiative to attack a corrupt dependent.

Although he successfully killed one, he attracted more followers and died again as expected.

The fourth time... the sixth time... the eighth time!

The red spider lily died eight times in a row in just half an hour.

"Damn it! These guys not only look disgusting, but their methods and abilities are truly disgusting. It seems we can't fight them head-on for now. Let's get out of here and find Cifu first!"

Higanbana spends contribution points to restore runes dropped after death.

She adjusted her tactics again and decided not to fight to the death with the corrupt followers. Although the eight explorations all ended in failure, she gained some understanding of the structure of the Selia Mine, so her goal this time was to leave this damn place.

Just find and activate the Blessing.

Not only are there supplies and upgrade points.

The red spider lily can also leave at any time through blessing.

She started to act without any intentional killing this time. She parkoured her way through the mine operation area quickly, and at this time, a large group of corrupt followers were following her.

"Come on, Higanbana boss!"

"These corrupt followers aren't very fast!"

"If you run fast enough, these guys won't be able to catch up!"

"..."

Higanbana quickly and smoothly passed through the mining area, but at this time two forked mine tunnels appeared in front of her. After a little hesitation, she ran directly into the left passage.

A few seconds later.

The corrupt family members also chased to the fork in the road.

When I found that the red spider lily ran into the passage on the left.

These corrupt relatives looked at each other and finally gave up the pursuit.

Higanbana soon discovered that this passage did not lead to the outside world, but instead went deeper and deeper into the mine. However, there was no way to turn back at this moment.

It took about ten minutes of rapid progress.

I didn't encounter any corrupt relatives or pyroxene miners throughout the whole process.

Higanbana couldn't help but say, "I have a bad feeling..."

This premonition soon came true.

A large underground space appeared before our eyes.

This place looks like it was created by a meteorite. The ground is covered with glowing crystals and volcanic glass formed by high-temperature burning stones. A huge monster is lurking in the center of the area.

[You have unlocked the Monster Guide: Falling Star Beast!]

New monster?

Higanbana quickly glanced at the illustrated guide.

Her expression changed drastically: "A rare monster of level three and two stars?!"

"Oh my god!"

"Compared to the flying dragon Yakir, this guy is probably only slightly inferior!"

"Haha, this is hilarious! Boss Higanbana came here to avoid the flying dragon, but ended up running into a tough guy who's almost as tough as Yakir, and this time there's absolutely no way to escape!"

"Do you think Boss Higanbana will be trapped in the mine forever?"

"Speaking of which, this Falling Star Beast looks pretty cool. If I could extract its spirit, it would definitely be worth a lot of money!"

"..."

The adventurers all looked at the Falling Star Beast.

This monster is huge and shaped like a giant bull, but its body is not made of organic matter, but is composed of a large amount of inorganic materials with the texture of crystal and volcanic glass.

Its head is similar to that of an ant with a pair of huge black jaws. There are no facial features on its face, only a huge hole, like a cracked egg, from which a fierce and powerful energy aura is continuously released.

Although I have seen many strange monsters in Miracle City.

But the appearance and shape of this fallen star beast still makes people feel curious.

The Falling Star Beast is very sensitive and full of aggressiveness. When it senses the appearance of the red spider lily in its territory, a burst of purple energy bursts out from its body, instantly spreading to a radius of tens or hundreds of meters, and countless sharp stones rise from the ground.

Higanbana quickly distanced herself and rang the bell rapidly.

Three wild wolves were summoned immediately and rushed towards the Falling Star Beast, while the latter's huge jaws turned purple and released a large amount of energy to condense into a giant purple-black energy ball.

"This seems to be gravity magic!"

"The White King Swordsman that Boss Mengbai defeated at the Banghai Ancient Ruins not long ago also used a similar spell."

"Could it be that this Falling Star Beast has some connection with the White King clan?"

"..."

Although the spell types are similar.

But the strength is completely different.

The Falling Star Beast is dozens of times more powerful than the White King Swordsman.

The three wolves were sucked into the energy ball and turned to ashes in the explosion.

The Falling Star Beast ran rapidly and charged around, launching a fierce attack on Higanbana. Higanbana quickly waved her staff to launch the Pyroxene Magic Gravel, but the result was like hitting a steel plate with a small stone, with no effect at all.

No!

The difference in strength is too big!

This guy is very strong!
With my current magic, I can't even break through the defense!

When the Falling Star Beast rushed towards it with a speed and agility that was disproportionate to its size, Higanbana seized the opportunity and dodged sideways, while at the same time pulling out the dagger and stabbing backwards, instantly creating a spark on the Falling Star Beast's body.

Still no use!

Its body is so hard!
Although the Falling Star Beast was not hurt, it was enraged. Covered by the purple gravity energy, its body leaped more than ten to twenty meters high, like a cannonball shot into the air and hit the ground.

This time, the red spider lily couldn't escape.

They were instantly crushed into dust by the violent force. A few minutes later.

Resurrected again at the starting point of the mine.

Some of the adventurers outside couldn't help but worry.

Mao Mengmeng: "Boss Higanbana, this Falling Star Beast has extremely high defense, and our attacks can't break through it!"

Lihua Yuluo: "This is troublesome. Are we really going to be trapped in the mine?"

"Impossible! The Lord would never make a hopeless plan. This mine must have a correct way out, and the Falling Star Beast must have weaknesses. Of course... with my current strength, forcing a challenge is not cost-effective!"

Higanbana said solemnly, "From the information in the Monster Manual, it seems that this is just a newly born Falling Star Beast."

"What? Hatchling!"

The adventurers were in disbelief for a moment.

The Falling Star Beast is absolutely powerful, both in size and combat power.

This creature, undoubtedly a ferocious beast no matter where it was placed, was actually just a newborn? If even a newborn larva had such strength, how much more powerful would the adult form of this monster be!

Higanbana speculated, "The Falling Star Beasts come from the depths of the lightless universe. They are an extremely powerful star race. Even the dragons of the borderland are nothing compared to them."

If I hadn't seen the introduction to the monster encyclopedia.

She couldn't believe there was such a terrifying creature.

The young Falling Star Beasts are all rare third-level, two-star monsters. If they can successfully grow into complete forms, they will probably have at least fourth-level combat power... This small border area really hides many powerful creatures!

Higanbana closed her eyes and recalled the route.

Now that the wrong answers have been ruled out, the remaining one must be the correct route.

She acted again without hesitation, and after another thrilling parkour, she came to the fork in the road again. Without hesitation, she chose to break through to the right and killed three corrupt followers along the way.

"exit!"

"Find the export volume!"

"Well done, Mr. Higanbana!"

"..."

The adventurer saw the exit of the mine through the secret crystal.

After enduring many tortures and deaths, Higanbana finally managed to escape from the dangerous Seria Crystal Mine, but she didn't have time to feel free and relieved.

"What the hell is this place?"

After Higanbana walked out of the Selia Crystal Mine.

An environment completely different from Nimgfu's painting style appeared before his eyes.

The sky was as red as blood. All the trees within sight were dead and withered, and there was hardly a single weed on the ground. The surfaces of the trees and part of the ground were covered with a kind of foul-smelling fungus, which at first glance looked like rotten ulcers.

"According to the secret realm's instructions."

"This is a place called 'Gallid'."

"The good news is that I'm still at the border. The bad news is that this place is a long way from Nimgfu!"

"..."

Galid and Nimgefu are both border areas, and the relationship between the two can be understood as two adjacent provinces. It is undoubtedly very difficult to run back to Nimgefu from here.

But luckily.

Good luck this time.

Not long after the red spider lily left the mine.

Found a blessing point that can be activated.

This blessing point is located on the edge of a swamp. Perhaps because the environment here is too harsh, there is no blessing camp and no other faded people to form a team.

It's ok!
Just have some blessing points!

Higanbana activated the blessing and breathed a sigh of relief.

Because for adventurers in Miracle City, the blessing can enable map teleportation. She can now return to Nimgefu at any time, but since she is here, she can't help but explore a little more.

Looking into the depths of the swamp, Higanbana saw green mist filling the air, and the stench of decay. However, a huge group of ruins could still be vaguely seen within.

Follow the secret realm prompts.

This is a swamp called Ionia.

This swamp is filled with bright red corrupted poisonous water, which is obviously extremely toxic. It is difficult for the Faded Ones to travel through it on foot, but they can use spirit horses to pass through it quickly and reach the ruins, which are called "Sage Town".

Higanbana speculated.

Sage Town was originally a large town where a large number of magicians gathered.

Probably because of the drastic changes in the environment of Gaileyd due to pollution, and the destruction of Sage Town in the process, some of the magicians there were enslaved by corrupt followers and eventually became pyroxene miners digging in the mines.

In addition, while exploring the ruins of Sage Town.

Higanbana discovered that this place was full of ugly humanoid monsters.

This kind of monster is covered with fungi. According to the monster encyclopedia, it is called "Mushroom Wizard". They can use some spell attacks and are probably former residents of Sage Town.

"What's going on here?"

“Why did it become like this?!”

"There are traces of a large number of magicians gathering and activities in this ruin."

"Its value is definitely far greater than ordinary ruins. Maybe we can find something useful here!"

With this thought in mind, Higanbana wandered around Sage Town, and in the process was killed four or five times by the Mushroom Wizard and the occasional troublesome monsters such as the Corrupted Followers and Corrupted Wild Dogs.

have to say.

The monsters in Galid are particularly hellish!
It has been more than two hours since Higanbana was teleported here, and she has died more than a dozen times, but still has no special gains. Other adventurers might have lost their patience.

But she still insisted on exploring.

Because Higanbana believed that the lord would not make such a deployment for no reason.

There must be something important hidden in this place, but I just haven't discovered it yet.

With this idea in mind, Higanbana went in and out three times, and finally found a secret tunnel. When she entered the tunnel, she found a secret room similar to the Dragon Breath Ruins, and there was also a treasure chest in the secret room.

"Boss Higanbana, be careful!"

"I'm afraid this is another trap!"

Although Higanbana was a little scared, she couldn't help but open the treasure chest right in front of her, so she opened it without hesitation.

No traps this time!

There are two items in this treasure chest.

One of them was a rather plain-looking staff.

The other is the magic rune, which is a carrier for preserving magical memories.

[Meteorite Staff] (Secret Realm Item), a rare Tier 3 equipment with the skill "Gravity Magic Enhancement"... Introduction: A staff with a dark purple pyroxene embedded in the top. It is said that the pyroxene is a fragment of a meteorite. It has a high magic bonus and can also enhance gravity magic. However, it cannot be enhanced with forging stone.

[Rock Ball] (Secret Realm Item), a second-level rare skill... Introduction: A type of pyroxene magic that controls gravity, capable of summoning and releasing super-gravity rock blocks. This gravity technique was learned by Latan in his youth, and his teacher was the White King with stone skin.

"What a treasure!"

The red spider lily was suddenly overjoyed.

This staff is incredibly powerful.

Having it is like replacing a shotgun with a cannon.

This staff not only has powerful attributes in itself, but can also greatly enhance the power of gravity spells. The rock ball obtained with it happens to be a gravity-attribute attack spell.

All of a sudden.

The adventurers were all excited.

"As expected of the Higanbana boss!"

"Persistence really pays off. This discovery is so important!"

"This is definitely the best equipment and skills I've ever seen!"

"Rock Ball sounds ordinary, but I didn't expect it to be a rare second-tier skill... From the description of this skill, it seems to be related to the 'Star Crusher General' Latarn in the opening scene."

"Latarn's master is a White King?"

"Then is it possible that this treasure chest was left by this person?"

"..."

Higanbana is already equipped with the magic memory of the Meteorite Rod and the Rock Ball.

She tested the spell. If the pyroxene magic gravel had the power comparable to bullets, then this rock ball move could be compared to a volley of artillery fire!

"Great!"

After the red spider lilies are harvested.

There was no stop in the harsh environment of Galid.

She couldn't wait to teleport back to the Wandering Cemetery of Nimgefu, and then rode to the route where the Tree Guards appeared, ready to test her new spell with this powerful enemy that she had never been able to defeat.

Amidst a burst of fierce neighing and the sound of horse hooves.

The tree guard appeared in the field of vision carrying a golden tree halberd.

When the tree guard discovered the red spider lily, he immediately rode his horse and rushed over without hesitation.

Higanbana first rang the bell to summon wild wolves to restrain the tree guards, then raised the meteorite staff to cast the rock ball. Purple energy wrapped around a large amount of soil and rocks around it, making them float in the air and instantly compressed into three rock balls.

"go with!"

The red spider lily holds the staff for a while.

Three rock balls wrapped in purple light quickly attacked the tree guard.

The tree guard felt the power of this spell. Although the rock ball was a spell, it was a purely physical attack and could not be rebounded using the Golden Return.

The three rock balls looked inconspicuous and not very fast.

But with the help of gravity magic, the mass has been increased ten thousand times.

With such a terrifying mass, even though it seems to be slow in speed, the destructive power it can produce is no less than that of a cannon. The Tree Guard is equivalent to being hit by three large-caliber shells at the same time.

boom!
A loud bang!
Even the tree guards suffered considerable damage!
The tree guard felt threatened and immediately broke free from the spirit wolf's entanglement and tried to directly attack the faded one in front of him. However, Higanbana rode the spirit horse Torret, and its mobility was no less than that of the tree guard.

Chasing and catching up is like flying a kite.

With the blessing of the meteorite staff, the output ability of the red spider lily is greatly increased.

Every time a rock ball is launched, its power is incredible. Not to mention the tree guards, even against the falling star beasts, it can cause quite effective damage. The final result can be imagined.

The red spider lily and the tree guard fought for five or six minutes.

I used the Blue Dewdrop Holy Grail Bottle twice to replenish my mana.

In the end, he used the rock ball spell to smash the tree guard to death.

Although several adventurers in Miracle City have defeated the tree guards, no one has ever won as easily and effortlessly as Higanbana!
"Boss Higanbana is awesome!"

"This wave is really a step up!"

Higanbana felt an immediate improvement in strength.

She was also very excited, and then returned to the camp, summoning Melina to strengthen herself, and improved herself several small levels in succession, raising her strength from the entry-level level 2, one star to the level 2, two stars.

Today, with her own attributes and strength, as well as the blessing of the Meteorite Staff and Torret, Higanbana has enough confidence to display strength that is not inferior to most second-level five-star units!
【Challenge Ends!】

[This challenge score: B+!]

【You have obtained the "Golden Tree Euphorbia"! 】

This secret realm has a good rating.

The Golden Tree Halberd of the Tree Guard exploded.

This weapon is a third-level ordinary equipment with good power, and it also comes with the skill "Golden Oath".

This skill can increase the attributes of yourself and surrounding friendly units, comprehensively improve overall strength, and is undoubtedly very practical!

Another piece of equipment suitable for export!
Although the Golden Tree Halberd is used as a flag, it can effectively enhance the overall strength of the army on the battlefield. It is estimated that most lords are willing to spend a lot of money to purchase several of them.

Qi Ji noticed this adventure of Higanbana behind the scenes.

How did the adventurer get the Meteorite Staff and Rock Ball so quickly? These two items are the pioneering artifacts in the old man's ring, so this guy, Higanbana, really has good luck!
Qi Ji glanced at the other secret realms again.

Half of today's adventure in Miracle City has passed.

【Spiritual Power +3!】

【Spiritual Power +5!】

【…】

[Soul Crystal +1! ]

[Soul Crystal +1! ]

The adventurers' adventures are in full swing, and the output speed of both mental power and soul crystals is very amazing. Qi Ji feels that if the current trend continues, he will be able to upgrade again in a few days.

From level five to level six!

If you complete this upgrade.

Qi Ji will officially surpass Ran Tianyun and others.

The ultimate boss of the Eternal Night Forest, the Eternal Night Dragon King, is actually only level six!
Although breaking through the sixth level requires a lot of mental energy, this does not pose any difficulty to Qi Ji. Reaching the sixth level before the territory officially breaks through the third level will make the Miracle Territory safer!
