This isn't a souls-like game at all.

The combat skill [Storm Return] proficiency (2/50) has been improved!

"The base soul reverberation is 700, slightly lower than the giant millipede, but similar to the giant tiger with the bloodthirsty disease."

As for which one of the giant lizard, the giant tiger and the spirit lizard is more difficult to deal with, Ye Yiyi feels it is hard to say.

Both are blood cows with super vitality, and both have range-type AOE skills.

If the three leather-armored warriors encountered in the Magician's Tower were allowed to deal with them, there is a high possibility that they would be wiped out.

What a dish, that group of people...

Ye Yiyi walked forward and looked up and down at the giant lizard, which had only half of its body left.

"Thank goodness, the lava block in this thing's belly is still there!"

Ye Yiyi took off all his clothes until only his loincloth was left, then he reached into the monitor lizard's body with his upper body naked to search.

"Grass! So much! Holy crap! This one is huge!!!"

After a while, he emerged from the giant lizard's body, covered in lava but with a happy face, and then carefully placed a pile of lava rocks on the ground.

"I'm rich, I'm rich!!"

He rubbed his hands repeatedly and was about to count the harvest when his nose suddenly twitched and his brows furrowed.

"Why... does it smell like burning?"

He sniffed the scent, looked down, and his eyes bulged.

"Fuck! My underwear! My underwear is on fire!"

After dealing with the burned underwear, Ye Yiyi's face looked extremely ugly.

"Fortunately, I'm fire-resistant, otherwise I would have turned into a blue dragon... But what can I do? I only have that one loincloth!"

The lava monitor was successfully eliminated, but the price was the last loincloth.

Is it really worth it?

"Forget it, I have infinite lives. Fighting in armor is like taking off your pants and farting! I might as well not wear it!"

He took out a linen shirt he had found in the magician's tower, tore it into pieces, and hastily wrapped his crotch around it.

In the end it looked like an oversized diaper.

Fortunately, there was no one else here, otherwise if someone saw this scene, they would think that Ye Yiyi was a beast and killed the giant lizard alive.

Fortunately, the process of counting the harvest was still very pleasant, which temporarily dispelled the haze in Ye Yiyi's heart.

Ye Yiyi found a total of 8 small lava stones and one large lava stone inside the monitor lizard's body.

But this lava stone was a little different from what Ye Yiyi had imagined.

【Dragon Roar Lava Stone】

Item Description: A large stone with a flaming surface, found inside the body of a Dragon's Roaring Foot Salamander.

Used to throw at the enemy, causing a violent explosion and dealing fire damage.

It is said that the Dragon-Roaring Salamander is a descendant of an ancient dragon, and therefore can roar and cause shock and panic.

"The descendant of an ancient dragon? That's it!?"

Ye Yiyi stared at the half-remaining Salamander, his face full of disbelief.

"If I remember correctly, ancient dragons, like goblins, are spirits born from nature and are inherently incapable of reproduction. How on earth did it have offspring?"

Ye Yiyi thought about it, but still couldn't figure it out.

Since I can't figure it out, then just forget about it. I'll wait until I meet the Fire Hell Dragon one day and find a way to study it.

He gathered up the lava rocks and then went over to the Artificial Slave that was stuck in the gear teeth.

This unfortunate skilled slave had only his upper body covered in black armor left outside, while his lower body was completely stuck in the gear teeth.

"What do I do, pull this thing out?"

Ye Yiyi tried to grab a metal arm and pulled it outwards with force.

"Shit! It's stuck too deep, I can't pull it out!"

He put in a lot of effort, but the skilled slave didn't move at all.

"What to do?"

Ye Yiyi thought for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up. Then he took out the universal cauldron and slashed it towards the skilled servant.

There was a flash of white light, and the skill slave stuck in the gear suddenly disappeared, turning into several black metal balls that fell to the ground.

"Ka, ka..."

As the foreign object disappeared, the huge gear that could not mesh began to move with a click.

"Damn! It actually works!"

Ye Yiyi picked up the pitch-black ore casually, then avoided the gradually closing steel plate and returned to the corridor to watch.

The gears turned, and the corridor in front of him turned with it.

Ye Yiyi stared at the scene with wide eyes in surprise.

He watched the corridor leading to the outer layer move continuously to the right, and finally, the corridor stopped in front of the elevator door when he came in.

At the same time, several corridors leading to the outer layer appeared.

Ye Yiyi clearly saw that in the outer corridor, a road leading to the lower level was gradually emerging!

"The creator of heaven is awesome!"

Chapter 55: Sneak Attack, Repair, and Transformation

The ring tower under your feet is a large transformable building made up of mechanisms and gears.

Ye Yiyi is no exception in this regard.

The reason is simple: there are many similar buildings in the game.

There are many maps that are so brain-burning that you need to look up a guide to decipher them.

Ye Yiyi likes to explore and has a special liking for this type of map design.

“In the collision of gears and steel, in the integration of corridors and stairs, I found the true meaning.”

Ye Yiyi looked at the corridor in front of him, but was not in a hurry to go over. Instead, he looked at the black ore in his hand.

This item is obtained by using the Universal Cauldron to decompose the Skillful Slave. Like Silver Iron Ore and Pure Orichalcum, it is a metal-type raw material.

"Let me see what type of ore this is."

【Pure black tungsten iron】

Item Description: Rare metal material that can be found in ancient ruins.

One of the materials used to craft items, and can also be used to forge weapons or armor with fire resistance.

Black tungsten iron cannot be melted and can easily withstand high temperature and high pressure.

In order to explore in extreme environments, the land nations once smelted this metal extensively.

After watching the light curtain, Ye Yiyi was delighted.

"This stuff is great! If I collect more, can't I create a set of armor that can't be destroyed by fire?

"Even if I go swimming in the lava with my armor on, I won't have to worry about it breaking!"

After putting away the three pieces of pure black tungsten iron, Ye Yiyi went to the corridor to take a look.

Although he successfully differentiated a Skillful Servant, unfortunately, he did not get the key like last time.

"It seems I have to explore deeper." He thought to himself.

Walk through the corridor leading to the outer layer and you will come to another spacious circular corridor.

This place is not much different from the inner layer. The only difference is that there are many more doors to explore on the inner wall, as well as a staircase leading to the underground.

“It turns out that the rooms are all built in mezzanines.”

Ye Yiyi was lost in thought, then entered an open door.

Behind the door is a room separated by a guardrail, and on the side of the door is a corridor for people to walk.

Ye Yiyi looked forward and found that at the end of the corridor, there was a small door leading to the next room.

"So this is connected?"

He seemed to be thinking about something, then looked at the half of the room separated by the railing.

Huge exposed metal gears, transmission rods, and countless leaves - metal structures that are hard to identify - are tightly fitted together and working in an orderly manner.

It was like the internal structure of a mechanical watch magnified countless times. This metal structure, which symbolized wisdom and exquisite craftsmanship, amazed Ye Yiyi.

"so amazing!"

This should be the large mechanism that drives the Ring Tower to deform.

Those skilled slaves working here should be the logistics personnel for maintaining the metal mechanisms.

Ye Yiyi walked along the corridor and passed through several rooms.

On the way, we encountered several wandering small salamanders.

He didn't let the Salamander discover his whereabouts, but instead shot several magic arrows from a distance, killing it directly.

"It's still more comfortable to output remotely."

Kill 6 Salamanders in a row and harvest 528 Soul Echoes and 7 small lava stones.

One of the gifted fire lizards had two small pieces of lava stones in its body, which gave Ye Yiyi a big surprise.

After walking around the corridor and reaching the room at the end, Ye Yiyi found a black hammer on the ground.

"The hammer handle is broken. Could it have fallen from the Skillful Slave?"

Ye Yiyi picked up the hammer and weighed it slightly.

"It's a little heavy, so it's a little difficult to swing with one hand. And it's not very long, so it's perfect for using with both hands."

Then check the light curtain.

【Servant Hammer】

Requirements: Strength 13, Skill 9

Damage Modification: Strength D, Skill E

Durability: 244/250

Skill cost: [0/10]

Item Description: A hammer forged from a single piece of pure black tungsten iron.

Originally a tool used by skilled slaves.

Can be wielded as a weapon, dealing blunt damage.

The Skilled Minion performs many duties and is an excellent tool that never tires.

There is no good or bad tool; how to use it depends on the user.

Combat Skill: Continuous Hammering

He took a stance and swung the hammer forward several times in succession.

Consumes focus to increase power and increase the number of attacks.

This is the hammer technique used by Skill Thralls to repair items, and can also be used to deal with enemies with hard shells.

"13 points of strength. No wonder I can't use one hand well."

Ye Yiyi held the servant hammer in both hands and swung it casually.

"Now I also have a weapon that can cause blunt force damage. This combat technique is also quite good. I can use it to suppress large Salamanders."

Ye Yiyi put away the servant's hammer with satisfaction.

There was nothing to explore on this floor, so Ye Yiyi walked out of the room and found the stairs leading to the lower floor.
