Chapter 54

Red item!

The red light is very dazzling; that is the symbol of mythic-quality items!

The ground was littered with all kinds of things, gold coins being the most numerous, followed by purple items, then orange and blue. Red items were the rarest, only two.

Xiao Feng stepped forward and picked them up one by one.

1,040,000 gold coins, richer than the mythic boss Evil Spirit General, directly earning enough for two houses!

Now look at the red items!

【Scarlet Realm Scroll (Mythic)】: Chant for 3 seconds to release, creating a scarlet realm with a radius of 1,000 meters and a height of 100 meters, reducing all attributes of everyone except the caster by 50% within the realm. The realm can last up to 300 seconds; this effect is ineffective against Legendary or higher lords and players with 4th class advancement or higher.

【Demon's Heart (Mythic)】: Upon use, permanently gain 50 strength; higher-tier items of the same type overwrite lower-tier ones, and only one such effect can exist at a time.

Both red items are consumables, and their effects are extremely shocking.

The Scarlet Realm Scroll is a strategic treasure; it will play a crucial role in faction wars. Just find an assassin to stealthily infiltrate the enemy army and release it, halving everyone's attributes, directly rendering them useless!

The Demon's Heart is also outrageous, giving 50 attribute points for free, equivalent to the potential points from 25 level-ups; even counting the automatic attribute growth per level-up, it's comparable to level 17.

It's just a pity that it only adds strength.

There are also many Legendary-quality items—four or five pieces of equipment alone—but none have no level requirement, so they're currently unusable.

Moreover, there is a Legendary-quality scroll, which is of great importance.

【Directional Teleport Gate Scroll】: Upon use, it opens a teleport gate that can send you to a designated location. The gate can last up to 60 seconds; the current designated location is Stormwind City Silver Mine Town.

This scroll is the quest item for rescuing the miners in the Magic Crystal Mine.

The remaining items, such as 【Abyssal Monster Essence】, are not particularly attractive.

On the contrary, two good items appeared among the Epic-quality items.

【Mass Resurrection (Epic)】: Usable by all third-class priest professions; upon use, it immediately resurrects all teammates within 50 meters of the caster and restores 20% of their health and mana, with a 5-second chant and a 600-second cooldown.

【Random Teleport Scroll (Epic)】: Instant cast; upon use, it randomly teleports you to any location.

Xing Yun Miao, upon seeing the Mass Resurrection skill book, screamed with joy: 'I can learn this book! Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me!' She completely disregarded her ladylike image.

'Here, take it.' Xiao Feng, without a word, directly allocated it to her.

The Moon Witch is also a subclass of the priest profession; all general priest skills, she can learn.

This skill can resurrect up to four teammates at most; it is of great significance, a divine skill that every priest dreams of!

Although it requires third-class advancement to learn, now that we have it, we won't have to worry anymore.

Moreover, this is not a free cabbage skill given by the system; even after playing for half a year, only a few priests can encounter it!

Xing Yun Miao took her own profession's skill book, and her mood was great.

Looking at the precious items scattered on the ground, she cheerfully said: 'You take the rest yourself; I'm just a burden, I'd feel embarrassed to share those with you.'

'Yo, you admit you're a newbie that quickly?' Xiao Feng couldn't help but chuckle.

Hmph……

Xing Yun Miao raised her chin, looked elsewhere, and ignored him.

Xiao Feng didn't stand on ceremony with her, putting all the loot into his own backpack.

'Let's go rescue the miners first, then later continue searching for the Divine Dew Spring.'

After putting away the items, he didn't head toward the Abyssal City but turned back into the mine.

'Uh…… do we really need to rush this?'

Xing Yun Miao was somewhat taken aback; she didn't expect that after defeating a boss, his first action would be to turn back and rescue the NPCs.

The two returned to the depths of the cave, winding around for a while, and reached the bottom of the mine shaft.

'Xiao Feng Warrior, Xiao Feng Warrior, you're back! How is it, is there danger outside?' Jeffrey and the other miners were quietly waiting for his news.

Xiao Feng took out the Directional Teleport Gate Scroll and loudly told everyone: 'I have already slain Lamaka; you are safe now, you can go home!'

Then he directly opened the scroll, opening a teleport gate.

'Ah! Heavens! This is real!'

'Xiao Feng Warrior slew the evil Abyssal Lord!'

'We are free, we are free~'

The miners wept with joy.

Jeffrey plopped down on his knees with a thud, gratefully saying: 'Xiao Feng Warrior, thank you so much! Without you, we would likely have been eaten by the Abyssal monsters! Even if we lived, we could only spend the rest of our lives in this lightless place. You saved us; please accept our sincerest gratitude!'

'Yes, you saved our lives!'

A group of miners knelt in unison, performing a great bow to show their thanks.

Xiao Feng quickly helped Jeffrey up, telling everyone: 'No need for this, hurry and leave; the teleport gate can only last one minute, and if you're late you won't be able to get out!'

These miners were merely civilian NPCs; he didn't expect to gain anything from them.

The reason he came back first to rescue these people wasn't to gain anything; it was just that he worried that after he ventured deeper into the Abyssal World, the abyssal creatures here, unable to find him, would take their anger out on the miners and kill them.

'What Xiao Feng Warrior said is right; we'll leave this place first, and after returning we'll jointly petition the city lord to commend Xiao Feng Warrior!'

Jeffrey and the others hurriedly rose, again expressed their thanks to Xiao Feng, and then each one slipped into the teleport gate.

After a careful count, there were about forty or fifty human miners here; if we dawdled any longer, the teleport gate would probably have closed.

Once the miners left, the surroundings fell silent; there was no more clinking of mining.

'You're treating NPCs like real people, not only chatting with them but also caring so much about their safety.' Xing Yun Miao exclaimed in surprise.

'They are essentially the same as real people, with personalities and stories. Don't just look at them as ordinary NPCs; perhaps behind them lie friends or relatives of mythic-boss level.' Xiao Feng replied lightly.

After encountering Luo Fu Luo, he gained a completely new understanding of this game.

Some things are not written on the surface. NPCs represent not only quests and rewards, but also more—the story the game designers wish to present to players.

Or rather……substance.

'Let's continue searching for the Divine Dew Spring.'

Xiao Feng led the way out of the mine cave.

As they walked, he said: "Just now, when the boss heard about the Divine Dew Spring, he reacted nervously; it seems that thing is also a very precious treasure in the abyss, probably not easy to obtain."

"Yeah, Dai Fei Ao Na is willing to exchange a divine artifact for it, which is enough to prove its value."

A consumable comparable to a divine artifact—just thinking with your toes tells you how precious it is.

"It sounds a bit noisy outside; could the monsters have come back again?"

Just as they were about to reach the exit, noisy sounds came from outside.

Xing Yun Miao furrowed his brow, instinctively casting three buff skills in a row onto Xiao Feng.

"Just now it seemed some little monsters said they were going to report something to a general; I wonder if they've already arrived so quickly?" Xiao Feng guessed.

Things like a general sound like they're even higher rank than a high-ranking lord.

Could it be a mythic boss of 200+ similar to the Temple Divine General?

If that's the case, then……

Tsk tsk, interesting!

Xiao Feng instantly became interested, putting on an Earth Elemental Shield for himself and quickly running outside.

Soon after, he returned to the place where he had previously fought La Ma Ka.

Howl~

Just as they stepped outside, an angry roar came from the sky.

Looking up, they saw several giant wolves with wings growing from their ribs, flying in the air.

On the backs of the giant wolves were several demon tribe sturdy men with blue faces and fangs.

Was it you who killed La Ma Ka?

The leading sturdy man looked down from above, gazing at Xiao Feng and his companion as if they were insignificant ants.
