Monster collectors on the cross-platform

Chapter 99 Dungeon Update

Inside Duke Butler's luxury car, Huo took out the gift box that Duke Butler had given him, preparing to open it and take a look.

Baron Rosenthal, sitting to one side, curiously leaned over, also wanting to know what gift Duke Butman had given in gratitude.

Huo opened the gift box, and the first thing he saw was a gold pocket watch, with a piece of paper and a coat of arms underneath it.

Huo picked up the pocket watch first, and it felt heavy in his hand, so it must be pure gold.

Opening the pocket watch reveals several golden gears turning rhythmically, with various gemstones inlaid within, clearly indicating that this is a valuable collectible.

Putting down the pocket watch, Huo looked at the remaining papers and emblems.

The paper is easy to understand; it's rectangular, with some text and the number 100 million written on it, along with the Duke's signature.

It's obvious that this piece of paper is a check for one million.

As for the remaining emblems, Huo didn't know much about them and turned to look at Baron Rosent beside him.

"This is the coat of arms of Duke Whiteman. With this coat of arms, whether you're applying for a loan or doing other business, you represent the Whiteman family," Baron Rosent explained with a look of envy when he saw that Huo was still asking.

After hearing Baron Rosenthal's explanation, Huo realized that the badge in front of him was the real reward, and the remaining checks and pocket watch were just extras.

With this emblem, one can borrow money at will, because the Whiteman family will repay it when it is due, and the Whiteman family's title can be used directly when handling matters.

As a duke, the Whiteman family naturally wields considerable influence in the country. Some things that are incredibly difficult for ordinary people can be easily resolved simply by showing their crest.

These three items would be very valuable to any ordinary person, but they were not very valuable to Huo Huan.

After packing all his belongings, Huo said goodbye to the driver and prepared to get out of the car.

"Mr. Huo, where are you headed?" Baron Rosent asked instinctively when he saw Huo get out of the car.

"Driving is too slow, I'll go back by myself first." Huo got out of the car, and seeing that no one was around, he spread his wings and flew into the sky.

The matter was already settled, and Huo didn't want to dawdle and take the train back again.

Spreading its wings, Huo soared into the sky, feeling the air currents and clouds brushing against its body. After stretching its body and confirming its location, it flew at full speed towards the cabin.

More than two hours later, Huo returned safely to the gravedigger's hut.

After a short rest, Huo threw himself back into the task of running dungeons.

By constantly purchasing new dungeon invitations to replace old ones, experience points increase rapidly, but the reserves of in-game currency are also decreasing.

Fortunately, with the support of the enchanting shop, the rate of decline of the network currency is relatively slow.

It was almost a new day, and Huo stopped buying invitations, waiting for the dungeon to refresh.

That's right, today is the day the new dungeon refreshes again. To avoid wasting it, Huo will not buy the new dungeon for the time being, and will wait and see what the new dungeon contains first.

[Time has reached midnight, instance is refreshing...]

[Network notification: Player '尽栗了' has joined the current channel]

After completing a new dungeon, the most important thing is to join the chat channel and check out the guide.

To Huo's surprise, there wasn't a single player in the instance chat channel, and even the group files were empty.

Is this a completely new instance? Realizing that he might be the first player to enter this instance, Huo showed no sign of joy.

There aren't many benefits to exploring new dungeons, and you'll miss out on important dungeon guides. In return, you only get a tiny bit of a drop rate boost, but those who know about the drop rates in Huo's dungeons know that even with a little boost, it's practically the same as not getting any.

Since there was no dungeon guide, Huo didn't have much to prepare and just went for it.

Huo opened the dungeon portal and stepped inside.

Upon entering the instance, one is greeted by a vast wilderness, with only a rock and a few scattered trees dotting the landscape, in addition to green grass.

The sky was blue, the clouds were white, and a gentle breeze brushed against Huo Huan's face, bringing a touch of summer warmth.

Huo looked at the beautiful scenery before him, feeling a little puzzled. The scenery was beautiful, but something was strange.

Huo flew into the sky to try to find the monsters in the dungeon, but after looking around, he couldn't find any trace of them.

"How strange, where did that monster hide?"

Somewhat bewildered, Huo descended from the sky and landed on a rock.

The very next second after Huo landed, a violent tremor came from beneath his feet.

'An earthquake?' That was the first thought that popped into Huo's mind. He then realized that he was in a dungeon and the tremors were probably caused by monsters.

Spreading its wings and soaring into the sky, Huo looked down at the ground, trying to find the monster hidden underground.

Not long after Huo Huan took off, the stone where he had been standing began to tremble and then coalesced into a rock giant in the shape of a human.

Is this an earth elemental? Huo looked at the monster in front of him with some hesitation. After all, there are quite a few monsters that are made of rock all over their bodies. Huo was not sure whether it was an earth elemental or not.

Regardless of whether they are earth elementals or not, it doesn't matter if Huo still manages to take them down.

After counting in the sky and confirming there were five earth elementals, Huo immediately targeted one of them, activated Blood Escape, and charged towards the earth elemental in mid-air.

A dull thud rang out as Huo, at full power, barely managed to shatter the earth elemental's body.

The next second, the rock began to wriggle, and the damaged body was quickly and completely repaired.

Although the earth element is slow to react, its defense is by no means weak. In addition, it has no weaknesses and can repair itself infinitely as long as it has energy. For a time, Huo was completely helpless against it.

Elemental life forms are troublesome; they are not only immune to pure physical attacks, but their own attack power is also quite high.

Fortunately, Huo Huan was agile, and the earth element was no match for him.

The situation reached a stalemate. Just as Huo was considering whether to use dragon breath to resolve the issue, one of the earth elementals could no longer keep up with Huo's continuous attacks.

After all, it was only on easy difficulty, and the earth element itself didn't have much energy. After several repairs, it finally couldn't hold on and turned into a pile of rubble.

Seeing an earth elemental die, Huo's spirits lifted. He abandoned his plan to use dragon breath and chose to spend some time dealing with it with his fists, since dragon breath has a daily limit on the number of times it can be used.

Several tens of minutes later, Huo Huan dealt with the five earth elementals one by one, and the notification sound from the network also rang out at the right time.

Chapter 100 Completed

[Dungeon clear conditions met, rewards being calculated]

The rewards you received from this dungeon are: 250 General Coins, 400 Universal Experience, and Elemental Crystal - Earth (Blue)

It actually dropped something! And it was a blue-grade, high-quality material. This seems to be the first time Huo has ever gotten a high-quality item in a simple dungeon.

"Looks like there are some benefits to pioneering new lands after all," Huo muttered to himself, still holding the earthy yellow, transparent elemental crystal.

Opening the book of collections, Huo also collected all the earth elemental remains on the ground.

Race Name: Earth Elemental

Introduction: Earth elementals generally live in the basic elemental planes. They are the embodiment of elemental chaos, with a body the size of a small mountain. Their bodies are generally composed of rocks, occasionally interspersed with minerals and gems.

Traits: Earth-burrowing, Basic Earth Element Affinity

Burrowing: Earth elementals can burrow into unmagical and unprocessed soil and rock layers to move without disrupting geological continuity. Once equipped, players can consume energy to enter Burrowing state at 1 energy per second.

Basic Earth Affinity: As the purest earth elemental life form, the earth element possesses the power to control the earth. After equipping this skill, players can slightly control the earth element, their attacks will deal earth elemental damage, and their resistance to earth elemental damage will be slightly increased.

"Earth Burrow!" Huo's eyes lit up, and he immediately dragged the Earth Element into the Specialty tab.

Sensing the new trait, Huo also channeled energy to activate his underground burrowing ability.

The ground beneath their feet no longer seemed solid, as if it had turned into a swamp.

Huo Huan's body slowly sank into the ground and disappeared completely a few seconds later.

The feeling of sinking into the ground is strange. Even though you can't see anything, you can sense everything within tens of meters around you and on the ground.

Even though you can't breathe, you don't feel suffocated; it's as if the whole earth is helping you breathe.

Huo Huan had a sudden thought, and his whole body began to move underground as if being pushed by the earth.

The movement speed is not particularly fast, but it is not too slow either; it is slightly faster than the average person's running speed.

After playing underground for a while and getting over the initial novelty, Huo finally came out.

There was no dust on his body, and even the dust from the battle had disappeared.

After having enough fun, Huo opened a portal to leave the instance, then selected normal difficulty and re-entered the instance.

Upon entering the instance again, the scenery was completely different.

The rocks and wilderness had completely disappeared, replaced by a large, clear lake.

'There shouldn't be any water elementals in the lake,' Huo couldn't help but wonder, recalling his encounter with the easy difficulty dungeon.

We'll know for sure once we try. The lake is huge, and exploring it slowly would be too time-consuming. Huo is even planning to use dragon breath to test it out.

Just as Huo Huan was about to use Dragon Breath, a sharp whooshing sound rang out from above Huo Huan's head.

Huo immediately abandoned using the dragon's breath and looked up.

With a "sizzle," an invisible attack cut a wound on Huo Huan's arm, but Huo Huan was unable to locate the attacker.

Invisible unit? No, Huo also keenly discovered that it wasn't the attacker who was invisible, but rather that the attacker's body itself was colorless.

The sound of something cutting through the air rang out again, but this time Huo immediately detected the attacker's location.

"Got you!" Huo spread his wings and soared into the sky, his fists crackling with energy as he slammed them into the attacker's position.

With a loud bang, the enemy's colorless body disintegrated. Feeling the scattered air currents around him, the monster in this dungeon was obvious.

Although it has been confirmed that the monster is an air elemental, its almost invisible and colorless body is still quite difficult to find.

Huo Huan's heart stirred, and his whole body began to emit blood mist. Under Huo Huan's control, the blood mist did not fall to the ground, but instead continued to spread in all directions.

Soon, the spiral funnel-shaped gas elements were all dyed bright red.
