Chapter 78: This thing is called Fire Element?

Deep Earth Lake, located in an underground fissure 120 km outside Volcano City, a level 4 city, has astonishing temperature; very few creatures can survive inside.

Before, a player went inside to gather a plant due to quest requirements.

As a result, they failed to collect the quest item and instead died of heat on the way, forcing them to give up.

Those who can venture deep into Deep Earth Lake are usually capable priests who rely on their own healing to resist the damage from high heat.

According to the notes in the Wild Mage NPC Information Table, the 200-level Holy Land Mage La Luo Na Er is located at the deepest part of Deep Earth Lake.

This is not a place ordinary people can reach.

Xiao Feng sped along, pushing the Boots of Swiftness's speed boost to the limit, running like a human-shaped cheetah, astonishingly fast.

Even so, he ran for a full one and a half hours before reaching the entrance of Deep Earth Lake.

"Pant, exhausted..."

Continuous running consumes the hidden attribute 'Stamina'; Xiao Feng is now so out of breath he can barely breathe, and can only rest in place.

Roar!

Not far away, a 3-meter-tall fire creature floated over slowly, letting out a low growl.

Xiao Feng glanced at the info.

【Volcano Element (Elite Monster)】

Level: 150

HP: 280000/280000

(Target level too high, unable to obtain more data)

Volcano Element? I seem to have one too.

Xiao Feng thought of the skill he just learned and cast it on the spot.

Primary Fire Element Summon!

Mana cost 50 points, then instantly refilled by the robe's effect.

A mass of fire element gathered at the tip of his staff, then turned into a 1.5-meter-tall little fire person.

Originally, the 'Primary Fire Element' was only over 20 centimeters tall, a cute little stub-limbed creature with a tiny flame like a cowlick on its head.

But under the amplification of the Weather Mage's talent, its size increased sixfold, instantly becoming nearly 1.5 meters tall, but... still stub-limbed and adorably cute!

Huh?

The Primary Fire Element let out a cute sound, then noticed the approaching enemy.

Only see it extend a little hand less than 20 cm long, waving at the slowly floating Volcano Element.

Pff~

A small fireball flew out and hit the target.

The next moment...

Boom!

-621655

A violent explosion sound rang out.

The Volcano Element was directly blasted away, blown to pieces.

Holy crap, that's strong!

Xiao Feng was startled, hurriedly checking the summon's attributes.

【Primary Fire Element (Xiao Feng's Summon)】

Level: 90

HP: 15688000/15688000

Attack: 1247000

Physical Defense: 0

Magic Defense: 0

Skill: 【Small Fireball】 deals spell damage equal to 100% of ATK to target, cooldown 3 sec

Remaining duration: 25s

I'm gone...

For a moment, Xiao Feng was completely dazed.

This thing is called Primary Fire Element?

This is practically a fire god descending!

Originally, the Primary Fire Element was just a trash skill, summoning a creature with only 10% of the caster's HP and ATK, tossing a basic attack every 3 seconds, basically dealing negligible damage.

Even if chained every 30 seconds infinitely, it would at most increase total output by about 3%; factoring in enemy magic resistance, getting 2% is already good.

But under Xiao Feng's god-tier talent, the summon's stats increased ten thousandfold!

With over ten million HP and over one million ATK, even a basic attack can insta-kill an epic boss of the same level!

Taking on legends, taking on myths, it's possible!

I feel like... I've suddenly discovered a new playstyle.

Xiao Feng stared blankly for a while, feeling like he'd opened a new world.

A single Primary Fire Element is this powerful; if we work on higher-tier elemental summoning magic, or learn several at once.

Summoning seven or eight elemental beings, wouldn't it be easy to slaughter a temple?

Hmm... but it seems summoned creatures have a limit, at most two can exist simultaneously; any more would overwrite, sending the first summoned away.

Little fire person, charge!

With such a powerful enforcer, Xiao Feng felt much better, sat down on the ground to rest, and commanded the fire element to hunt roaming monsters around.

The wild monsters around here are basically special creatures related to fire, inherently granting over 50% reduction in fire spell damage.

However, facing the little fire person's attack power of 1.24 million, this is basically useless—point at anyone and they die.

Xiao Feng slowly recovered his stamina, while the little fire person also fought slowly, earning him experience points.

After 30 seconds, the little fire person weakly let out an "ah-oh" sound, and its body turned into a ball of flame and dissipated.

Xiao Feng summoned another one, continuing to let this "little guy" go to work.

biu~

biu~

biu~

The little fire balls danced about, and the surrounding volcanic elements were cleared out in no time.

Xiao Feng saw a volcanic element over four meters tall in the distance, seeming like a rare boss, so he directed the little fire person to go fight it.

Unexpectedly…

When the little fire person floated forward 100 meters, it suddenly "whoosh" burned intensely and vanished outright.

"Exceeded range, summoned creature automatically disappeared." The system sent feedback.

Only then did Xiao Feng realize that summoned creatures can only act within a 100-meter radius of himself.

After resting in place for five minutes, Xiao Feng's stamina gradually recovered.

He summoned the little fire person again, and together they approached that rare boss.

"Little fire person, take it down!"

Once they closed to a suitable distance, Xiao Feng had the fire person charge forward.

Thus began a great battle between the volcanic element and the fire element!

biu~

Boom!

biu~

Crack!

biu~

Roar~

The two went back and forth, fighting for ten seconds.

After the third little fire ball struck, the boss let out a miserable scream and shattered into debris all over the ground.

"Well done!" Xiao Feng praised.

Although the combat efficiency wasn't as fast as if he had acted himself, the advantage was that it was easygoing!

Keep moving forward!

Picking up the gold coins dropped by the boss, Xiao Feng headed toward the Heart of the Earth Lake with the little fire person.

This area is a vast volcanic zone, with volcanoes and lava everywhere around.

While walking, one must avoid the lava on the ground, otherwise stepping on it costs 5000 HP, and lingering two or three seconds requires returning to town to revive.

This burn effect produced by the environment can even ignore an earth element shield; even Xiao Feng can only honestly stick to the main path.

The Heart of the Earth Lake lies in an underground fissure at the junction of three volcanoes, and it took him over ten minutes to find it.

The fissure slants downward, winding and spiraling, like an inverted diamond mine shaft—small at the opening, but growing larger the deeper one goes.

At the opening, a column of lava flows downward, forming a lava waterfall that looks quite spectacular.

Xiao Feng carefully wound his way around the lava and entered the fissure, proceeding along the spiraling path deeper inside.

-100

-100

-100

The surrounding high temperature began to harm him, losing 100 HP per second, while the artifact hat restores 50 HP per second, so in reality he still loses 50 HP per second.

Although his HP had already exceeded 15,600, losing blood at this rate still makes chugging health potions a bit fast.

Moreover, since Xiao Feng learned the earth element shield, he has had no habit of taking medicine; he even only has a little over twenty holy-grade life potions and a set of premium-grade life potions that each add +1000 HP.

He tried to put an earth element shield on himself.

But it had no effect.

Then he cast a rainstorm spell on himself.

The rainstorm poured down with a splashing sound, and the surrounding temperature immediately dropped considerably.

Under the pressure of the rainstorm, the lava temporarily turned dark red, and the HP loss numbers above Xiao Feng's head also temporarily ceased.

However, the rainstorm spell can only be used once per minute, and each use lasts only ten seconds, which is still somewhat insufficient.

"Looks like I can only speed up and rely on health potions to get through." Xiao Feng said helplessly.
