Blaze didn't notice it because he also realized how frivolous his words were and turned his head away embarrassedly.

"Ahem! Since you can't act as an air unit, we can't jump down the hole to explore the world below. Let's focus on exploring this first floor."

The snake did not answer, and Blazer had almost adapted to the snake's habits. Silence generally represented agreement, and negation would not be expressed directly, but with a bunch of words that required one to understand.

The first world is the smallest world, but no matter how small it is, it is still a complete world. Even if you run at full speed for a day or two, you may not be able to reach the other side of your current location.

Blaze discovered a secret. He had given up many ways to reach the underground world because he didn't know the size of the underground sun.

Now that he had arrived in the underground world, Blaze used his blind eyes to observe the sun underground. The size was surprisingly small, almost as small as Kebli, probably the size of a small sun.

However, although it is small, its power as the sun is real, and its light can shine directly from the first floor to the twelfth floor.

During the aimless progress, the snake followed Blaze like a shadow, and their footsteps continued from the ice field to the oasis.

They finally saw the biota.

The stranger came to a saying, called survival of the fittest. It is not the strong who can survive, but the creatures that can adapt to the environment can survive.

Just like the eternal night

In this world where it is always scorching hot at noon, there are still biological communities that survive, and they have perfectly evolved an ecology that adapts to the first-level environment.

【Hanyin Tree】

[A strange plant that absorbs sunlight as its life force. Under its shade, small biological communities are nurtured one after another. The shade it brings is like the fire of civilization in the darkness.]

What came into view was an extremely huge tree. To explain how huge it was, Blaze saw giant insects that were much larger than those in the golden sea of ​​trees. It was like a swarm of insects like a giant beast, and these swarms of insects were crawling on the Hanyin tree like real little bugs.

Boom——

The earth was shaking like an earthquake.

It was really an earthquake, and a giant stone ball as big as a hill slowly rolled towards Blaze.

【Mountain-moving Beetle LV150】

Chapter 627: The Mountain-Moving Dung Beetle

Blaze often heard strangers complain like this.

[Damn, as soon as I entered the next area, all the equipment in the previous area was eliminated. The monsters in the new map, even a stupid sloth, can beat my XXX out]

The specific situation is very easy to understand, that is, the monsters in some areas are very strong, and the monsters in some areas are very weak.

High-intensity areas usually don’t just have strong monsters, the environment is also extremely harsh and terrifying, which is why powerful monsters are created.

In order to prevent these monsters of higher levels from crushing lower levels and causing damage to the surrounding ecological environment, each kingdom will establish an isolation zone, which is what the foreigners call the entrance to a high-difficulty dungeon.

Blaze never complained about these things until a giant beetle appeared in front of him, pushing a mountain with only one tentacle showing.

【Mountain-moving Beetle LV150】

[A giant insect that has long been extinct, classified as a Titan insect. 】

[It has the title of Mountain Mover, possesses an extremely large body and extremely amazing strength. It is used to flattening mountains and squeezing them into stone balls, and also uses stone balls to crush enemies.]

Monsters above LV99 basically only appear in these high-intensity areas, and occasionally appear in some special areas, but compared with the number of the entire biological community, they are considered rare monsters.

LV150 is the realm of divine beasts, and only a handful of noble species in the world above can reach it.

So any giant insect you encounter in this underground world is already level 150?

Blaze felt that all his upgrades were in vain.

"After all, it is just a bug hiding at the bottom of a well, wantonly increasing its size in a world without destruction." The snake lowered its voice, like a cobra raising its body to spray venom.

"...I see. Giant insects cannot survive on the surface. Living in this environment without the threat of extinction, they can expand their size at will. But doesn't increasing their size mean that they will have less soul fire?!"

Blaze translated the snake's words while pulling the snake to avoid being crushed by the huge stone ball. Because the stone ball was as big as a hill, the two of them could only fall to the ground in a very embarrassing way and rolled on the ground.

"Damn, isn't it just a big bug?"

Blaze quickly stood up and saw the full picture of the mountain-moving beetle.

It was a giant beetle that was so huge that there was no other word to describe it. Its shell was a layered, dark black color like the texture of minerals, and its feet were covered with spikes like iron rods. The most eye-catching thing was undoubtedly the golden horns on its head.

At first glance, it is obviously a fatal weakness, or the organ that launches a special move.

"Don't worry about me." The snake pushed Blaze away with force, and its entire body collapsed and disappeared, leaving only the seed that housed its soul.

The biggest reason why Chicken has always maintained her beast form is that the skills she has acquired are skills that can only be used in beast form, and there are not many skills available in human form. The situation of Snake is similar. She does not have a specially matched poisonous dragon body, and has no available skills, including human form.

So only by changing back to soul state can he follow Blaze without holding him back.

Blaze looked back curiously and found that even in the spirit state, the snake maintained its human form. If he transformed into a silver werewolf again, he would have two spirits behind him.

Back to the point, the mountain-moving beetle obviously didn't run over him accidentally, but was coming towards him. Seeing Blaze dodge the stone ball, it immediately pulled up the boulder with its feet and threw it at Blaze.

The huge hill-like rock cast a large shadow, and the damage range was so wide that Blaze had nowhere to hide.

boom--

The boulder ball fell to the ground, kicking up a small cloud of dust for the mountain-moving beetle.

The Mountain-Moving Beetle shook its head. There was no Blaze in its sight. Just as it was about to leave, a scorching white light shot out from the shadow under it and pierced through its abdomen.

[Shadow Stealth] is a skill that allows you to sneak into the shadow world. It is used for sneak attacks or stealth. If you are facing a super large monster, it can be said to be a magical skill to avoid attacks.

After all, each attack of these super-large monsters can create a large black shadow.

This skill is not rare, but it is not popular. Moving in the shadow world is like swimming under the ice, and the only exit is the shadow. However, in the shadow world, no matter how you improve [Night Vision], it is always dark and it is easy to lose your way, so not many people can use this skill.

However, for Blaze, the shadow world is clearer than the outside world.

Blaze used [Smoke Stealth] at the moment the boulder fell, and made a perfect dodge. He moved to the bottom of the Mountain-Moving Beetle, aimed at the abdomen of the Mountain-Moving Beetle and used the hunting [Mistine].

The scorching white light did not penetrate the body of the Mountain-Moving Beetle, but was repeatedly refracted in the body of the Mountain-Moving Beetle, causing continuous damage.

"Ah~ As expected, there is no way to penetrate."

Blazer was not surprised that even the highest solar attribute could not penetrate the Mountain-Moving Beetle. Rather, the reflection of these multiple damages was within his expectations.

The mountain-moving beetle is a species that was born in the first layer that is always covered by the sun. Its dark shell undoubtedly has a very high resistance to the sun. In contrast, its abdomen, which has always been at the bottom, does not have this resistance.

Shooting in the shadows all the time can ensure victory, but Blaze did not forget that insects have organs called insect jade in their bodies. It would be bad if the insect jade was destroyed during the refraction process.

Blaze decided to quit while he was ahead, and got out of the shadow, using his small and flexible body to move around, and used [Misttin] to harass.

As expected, the shell of the Mountain Moving Beetle was able to invalidate [Misttin Hunting], and it was not simply invalidated, but a part of it was absorbed. The scorching white light spread on the shell, leaving a huge white spot that crawled along the lines on the shell to the huge horn on the top of the Mountain Moving Beetle's head.

"It looks like it's charging. I can't let you deliver this attack!"

Blazer changed to [Ares' Howl], a world-class sawtooth metal behemoth that he had kept hidden. This was a deadly weapon, but he had been using it more and more frequently recently, and even became a little dependent on it.

There is no way, compared with the passive skill [Fatal Execution] which is often targeted, the highest destructive attribute and ignoring armor are just too good.

"Cut it off!"

Blaze slashed at the foot of the mountain-moving beetle with his sword. When using [Ares' Howl], there was no need to worry about whether to aim at the joint.

boom--

It was just the footsteps of an insect that touched the ground, but it made a noise like a huge rock collapsing.

The mountain-moving beetle roared and pointed the huge horn on its head at Blaze. The huge horn instantly turned from white to black, and a small sun-like ball of light appeared at the front end of the horn.

This is the Mountain-Moving Beetle's ultimate move, but Blaze did not intend to take it head-on and simply hid into the shadows.

The Mountain-Moving Beetle had no way to hold back its special move, and could only helplessly use its special move in vain.

The scorching white beam swept from the foot of the small tree of life all the way to the ice field, leaving a huge charred channel on the ground.

"Your horn is really nice." Blaze emerged from the shadow, raised [Ares' Howl] and chopped down at the giant horn of the mountain-moving beetle.

"It's mine now."

Chapter 628: The Sun with Only a Shell

The mountain-moving beetle's giant horn flew out directly, and Blaze flew over to catch it.

A stranger taught me that after killing a monster, instead of just waiting for the drops, it is better to do it yourself, take your fate into your own hands, and chop off the materials you want yourself.

【Sun Horn】

[The giant insects living in the River of Ra have special organs that can continuously absorb heat from their bodies and shells, and emit it after reaching the storage limit]

“It looks like a good thing!”

There seemed to be a flash of inspiration in front of Blaze's forehead, the soul of the blacksmith was burning, and a ray of light passed through countless materials, finally forming a set of blurry armor.

【Sun Beetle Set】

"this is not bad!"

Blaze was in high spirits. He licked his lips and looked at the mountain-moving beetle with a fiery gaze.

The mountain-moving beetle is a huge treasure trove, full of surprises.

"I'm going to strip you clean!"

……

"Phew~Great harvest~"

Blaze made a gesture to wipe his sweat like a farmer after working, although he couldn't wipe off the sweat through the armor.

[Hercules Insect Jade]

[Mountain-moving beetle's moving shell]

[The mountain-moving beetle's thorns]

[The Sun-Gathering Wings of the Mountain-Moving Beetle]…

Blaze cooked the mountain-moving beetle perfectly. All the peelable parts were peeled off, but in the end, the usable materials only piled up into a small hill.

A small hill is still too small compared to the size of the mountain-moving beetle. But Blazer is easily satisfied, so much is enough. Even if it is not enough, there are still many insects living in this area.

After defeating the mountain-moving beetle, Blaze's greatest gain was the name of this first world - [River of Ra].

The area is named after the sun god Ra. It is not known whether it is appropriate or ironic to name the first layer where the sun never sets with this name.

However, the good thing about the abundant material harvest is that the experience is scarce. Compared with monsters of the same level 150, the soul fire produced by the Mountain-Moving Beetle can be said to be quite small, only about one-fifth.

This also confirmed what the snake said. In a world without the threat of extinction, giant insects grew safely, increasing in size without any change in their souls.

This can also be seen from the fighting style of the Mountain-Moving Beetle. It basically relies on its own attributes to fight, launching simple attacks such as rolling stones and smashing.

The only rather tricky attack is the solar cannon that is fully charged after being exposed to the sun for a long time.

However, the attributes of the Mountain-Moving Beetle are so high that a simple attack method is dangerous enough.

Blaze turned his head and looked at the Hanyin tree, then walked straight towards it. The moment he stepped into the shade of the Hanyin tree, a cool feeling came over him.

It was not simply cool, but the shadow was absorbing heat, and in an instant it became a life-threatening situation.

【Metamorphosis Z】

【Cold Resistance LV1】

"Cough-cough-"

Blaze immediately withdrew from the shadow of the small world. Within seconds of stepping into it, his body was already cold and stiff. He couldn't imagine how those huge insects that were much bigger than him managed to survive under the shadow of the cold tree.

"The cold shadows are just where they sleep. When they wake up, they will go to the sun and continue to face the scorching heat."

"...That is to say, the habit of these giant insects is to survive in these two extreme environments. The shells on their bodies can not only dissipate heat, but also prevent the heat from being absorbed by the shadow of the cold tree."

Blaze's understanding of the snake's words can be said to be getting faster and faster.

The extreme point of the first world [River of Ra] is here. If you stay in the sun for a long time, you will gradually feel abnormally hot, and once you walk into the shadow, you will feel abnormally cold.

"It seems that we can only use the biological flora of this area to create equipment that can adapt to this area."

This is not a surprising thing. Monsters living in areas such as poisonous quagmires are not only poisonous, but also have high poison resistance. The props made from the materials also have the ability to give the wearer poison resistance.

Therefore, if you want to avoid being affected by the environment in the first level of the River of Ra, you have to use the materials from the monsters in the River of Ra to make equipment.

"Well... I don't want to wait until the resistance comes out, so I'd better make some equipment on the spot." Blaze rummaged around in the warehouse and finally found the portable forging set that was almost covered in dust.

Blazer had acquired this item a long time ago, but never used it. The reason was very real: he had no time.

There is a furnace, but heating the materials is quite troublesome. The materials of the Mountain Moving Beetle have incredible heat resistance, and even the Sun Fire can resist it for a while.
