That's right, that's what adventure is like!

"call……"

Yogurt was panting heavily, his face soaked with sweat that had turned the leather armor on his chest and neck dark. He limped over to Roland and stared at the Molten Core Hammer in his hand.

"This is...that thing?"

Roland remained silent, staring intently at the hammer in his hand.

He wasn't looking at a hammer; he was looking at another world.

A myriad of spiritual lights floated around, swirling like fireflies, yet they had no color, existing as if they were air.

That's magic.

As if trapped in a cage for a long time, this moment finally lifts the veil covering the spirit, revealing a corner of the truth of the whole world.

He felt as if he were immersed in warm spring water, every cell of his body cheering and greedily absorbing the shimmering light, making it a part of his body.

This is a sign of successfully sensing magic. Roland has gradually begun to deviate from the realm of normal people, and his body is changing and reshaping under the influence of magic.

In short, from now on, he can absorb magic as a form of energy and store it, but he hasn't yet found a way to use it.

But simply sensing magic power itself is already an extremely powerful ability.

He could see that dark red vortexes were surging around Yogurt, and each heavy breath caused the vortexes to swirl around.

He could see that there were several faint glimmers of light in Emmett's battered bag, a characteristic of the dissipation of magical energy from extraordinary items.

He could see that the lost coin on his chest emitted a dim silver light, like a swirling nebula, silent in the depths of all things.

The most dazzling things were the metal doors and the molten core hammer in his hand. Magical power flowed through the runes, following constantly changing patterns, almost completely obscuring his vision.

"...Roland?"

Yogurt's voice roused him, the chaotic magical light faded, and everything returned to its original state: the metal hall, the giant lizard corpse, and the uncontrollable heavy hammer.

when--

The runes on the Molten Core Hammer flickered, quickly escaping Roland's control and returning to the stone platform, before sinking into the ground with a "click".

A common phrase was also released at the same time.

"Forging complete, exquisite craftsmanship, welcome..."

"friend!!"

hum...

A pale blue light curtain rose up not far away, forming a door-like shape, which was obviously the passage to leave this place.

They gained the approval of the dwarves.

"You stingy little dwarf," Emmett said, wiping the blood from his face with disdain, "went through all that trouble and still won't leave a hammer behind."

It seems that the relationship between the elves and dwarves in this region is not friendly.

Roland noted this information, then turned his gaze to Yogurt, who was still panting heavily, and examined his scorched legs: "Are you alright?"

Although he did not personally participate in the battle, he could tell that the two were having a very difficult time stalling for time, and that Yogur was even forced into close combat for a period of time.

Fortunately, Yogurt shook her head and said in a deep voice, "It's nothing serious, just a few cracks in my shinbone. It'll be fine in a few days."

This is the formidable physique of orcs; injuries that would require months of recovery for a normal human can be healed in just a few days.

Roland then turned his gaze to Emmett.

Upon seeing this, his expression immediately became somewhat strange.

Although the half-elf was covered in blood, he moved freely and nimbly, clearly not seriously injured.

Roland himself, however, was the one with the most serious injuries on the surface.

The bones of his left hand were exposed to the air, not only a bloody mess, but also bleeding profusely, forming a small pool of blood beneath him.

If this situation is not addressed promptly, the combat effectiveness for subsequent adventures will be greatly reduced.

The medicine was bought specifically for this moment.

The pale golden liquid inside the thumb-sized crystal bottle glowed faintly, and when the cork was pulled out, it released a fresh grassy scent—typical characteristics of a life-saving potion.

He didn't want to gulp it down, but instead gently poured some onto the back of his left hand, where the liquid instantly transformed into a warm current that spread outwards.

The sunken parts of the bones began to bulge again, returning to their original state. The flesh and blood quickly began to rejoin and grow, a tingling sensation spread, and the excruciating pain began to dissipate.

In just a few breaths, the injuries had healed.

This is the life potion, worth 3 gold coins, yet it has remarkable healing effects on the body.

Although it is not a panacea, it has almost no effect in cases of bone fractures or exposed organs, and may even lead to physical deformities.

However, this does not prevent it from becoming the most beloved potion among low-level adventurers, bar none.

After treating his injuries, he turned his attention back to the most lucrative spoils of the battle.

The carcass of the lava giant lizard.

As an extinct alien monster, its entire body is a treasure trove.

Hard scales, bone spurs on the back, crystals on the tail... these are all things that can be sold for a high price on the market.

Emmett had already taken out a slender skinning knife from his baggage and started cutting. The knife gleamed with a cold blue light and was slightly curved, so it looked like an elf's item.

puff-

The blade pierced the monitor lizard's jaw effortlessly, then began to move along the edge of its scales, cutting into the fascia between the skin and flesh, striving to peel it off without damaging the integrity of the leather.

Although he seemed to be slacking off in the previous battle, his hand movements were truly excellent. It didn't take long for him to peel off seven complete pieces of scales, with only one piece slightly damaged.

Yogurt climbed onto the monitor lizard's head and quickly removed more than a dozen bone spurs and seven intact claws, each as long as an adult male's hand.

The most prized find comes from the heads of monitor lizards.

Emmett carefully peeled away the two crimson eyeballs with a sharp blade; they shimmered like dazzling crystals in the air, radiating a mesmerizing brilliance.

It is a good material for spells.

Finally, there was a fist-sized fleshy ball covered with dark red blood vessels, which Roland obtained by splitting open the skull with his longsword.

"A fire sac," Emmett recognized it at a glance. "The culprit behind the extinction of the Lava Giant Lizard, a crucial auxiliary ingredient for Dragon Breath Potion, priceless and unavailable!"

This is the biggest gain.

The bulging baggage spoke of the abundance of their harvest, and Emmett looked quite satisfied, but Roland felt that something more could be extracted.

"This flesh and blood looks like good ingredients."

The delicacies he had tasted in his previous life began to float wildly in his memory, the bright red giant lizard meat with its distinct muscle texture, causing Roland to draw his longsword once again.

He wasn't actually that hungry, but he felt the food he'd been eating lately was lacking, and with so much fresh meat he couldn't take with him, he felt it was a waste to waste it.

Sizzle—

The moment the slices of meat touched the flames, they made a wonderful sound, and the oil dripped down, bringing out the aroma of roasted meat, mixed with a scent similar to that of ripe nuts.

Sprinkle on the seasonings you carry with you—a luxury that's rare for ordinary people—and Roland casually adds a touch of salty aroma to the crispy outside and tender inside meat.

It wasn't as tough as I'd imagined; instead, it was indescribably tender and smooth. After a short chew, it quickly went down into my stomach, providing plenty of warmth.

What's even more remarkable is that when Roland glanced at his attribute panel, he discovered that his constitution had increased by 0.3.

Although it only happened once, it shows that this product can cause a frenzy in the market.

"It smells so good..."

Yogurt gulped down her food, while Emmett, though initially somewhat reserved, quickly abandoned the shameful habits brought about by her bloodline and joined them.

Once they were well-fed and had plenty of meat, they tied a portion of the giant lizard's spine meat with rope around their waists before slowly stepping into the pale blue portal.
