Chapter 48

"……"

……

A halo that's already at MAX level — and it can still be upgraded?

Qin Feng hurriedly opened his skill panel to check.

【Supreme Fire Resistance Halo (Lv MAX)】

Description: A halo so powerful it should not exist. Once activated, even the world's fiercest flames cannot harm you in the slightest!

Level: MAX

Effect: All allied units gain +13000% Fire Magic Resistance.

Current Status: Deactivated

……

13000% Fire Resistance!

Qin Feng was startled.

Magic Resistance can exceed 100%?

He had to admit, this was truly something he'd never heard of.

At least in his previous life, up until his fall, he had never seen any player stack Magic Resistance above 90%.

Then…

What kind of effect would this much Magic Resistance actually have?

……

Qin Feng took a deep breath, activated the halo, and slowly closed the skill panel.

He was ready to begin his operation.

Following his memory, he led his troops southward without hesitation.

A few minutes later.

A structure like an altar suddenly appeared before him.

Four pillars over ten meters tall stood around the altar, carved with indecipherable script and patterns.

And within the altar, leaning against the wall, lay a human man on the brink of death.

Spotting Qin Feng, the man's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said, "Brave lord from another world, can you help treat my wounds? Gather some Fire Source Fruits for me, and I will give you a very generous reward!"

As his words fell, the system's voice rang out abruptly.

"Ding dong~ 【Knight · Ander】 has initiated a hidden quest 【Gather Fire Source Fruits (S)】 for you. Accept?"

"……"

……

An S-rank hidden quest.

Any player at this stage would accept without a second thought.

After all, compared to ordinary quests, hidden quest rewards were bound to be far more generous.

However.

Qin Feng, however, knew.

This man… was not human.

He was actually a legendary Fire Element from the Plane of Fire.

The Fire Elements, led by several powerful Fire Lords, had once tried to invade this continent years ago.

But they seemed to have been beaten back by other powerful beings.

Now, they had been tightly sealed away somewhere by the Goddess of Flames.

Gathering Fire Source Fruits was naturally meant to heal his wounds.

Fire Source Fruits were a great tonic for Fire Elements.

And behind him lay the Chuansong Sect leading to the seal.

Thinking of all this, Qin Feng simply flipped him the middle finger: "Scram!"

Ander: "???"

Ander was utterly bewildered.

Had he been exposed?

He checked his own state — no, he hadn't.

He was fully confident that the human before him absolutely could not see through his disguise!

But.

Since that was the case, Ander's expression instantly turned cold: "Brat, looks like you're asking for death!"

The next moment.

His skin abruptly turned a blazing fire-red, as if a person had been instantly boiled.

At the same time.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The earth shook violently.

Countless terrifying, churning, massive flames burst from the altar's ground.

The system's rumbling voice rang out abruptly.

"Ding dong~ National Announcement: An extremely dangerous BOSS has appeared in 【Blazing Plains】. High grade monsters will soon appear nearby. All players are advised to stay away for the time being!"

"Ding dong~ National Announcement:..."
