Su Ming walked around the magma lake, and when he came to the side of the Fire Demon King, he saw a red crystal stone platform with an orange-red octagonal gemstone placed on it.
This stone platform was previously blocked by the Fire Demon King, so neither Su Ming nor Menghu Xiangqiangwei noticed it.
Su Ming breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that the level 25 mission was unlikely to require players to defeat the Fire Demon King.
Fortunately, I looked for it and didn't start fighting directly.
"Cute Tiger, come here." Su Ming smiled happily and waved to Cute Tiger Sniffing Rose.
"Did you find anything?" Cute Tiger Sniffing Rose trotted to Su Ming's side and also saw the orange-ruby gem.
"Is it the molten core?" Su Ming asked.
Menghu Xiuqiangwei compared the simple drawings on the task page, nodded fiercely, and praised:
"It's awesome, I'm still too impatient."
Later, Cute Tiger Sniffing Rose looked at the large lake with a radius of nearly 50 meters and raised a new question:
"How are we going to get the Molten Core? We must not alert the Fire Demon King."
When raising the question, she was also thinking of a solution, and quickly thought of:
"Let Xiaotu just throw me over... It's only 100 meters away. With luck, you should be able to send me up."
"Don't take risks." Su Ming once again stopped the cute tiger from sniffing the roses. He looked at the hanging stones above the lake and said, "Actually, the corpses in the cave have told us how to get orange rubies."
"Huh?" The scene of Su Ming rummaging through corpses flashed through Menghu Xiangqiangwei's mind, and she said, "Is it the iron claw?"
"That's right!" Su Ming opened his backpack and looked for the iron claw.
As soon as he took out the iron claw, Meng Hu sniffed the rose and poured a basin of cold water over:
"But... they all turned into bones. Doesn't that prove that this method is not feasible?"
Menghu Sniffing Rose was right. According to the normal procedure, this task did require finding an iron claw, but it also required a process of leaving the cave and repairing the iron claw. Neither of them had thought of this.
Su Ming was speechless for a while, and after a moment of silence, he said:
"Let's try it first. I have other props that can be used with the iron claw."
Su Ming was talking about the "Gliding Feather" and the "Deep Sea Grasp Scarf".
"Then can you use it? I think the iron claw seems to be broken."
"Only the launch function is broken, but the grabbing function is still good."
The iron claw that Su Ming found looks a bit like the claw in a claw machine. As long as an object is thrown and hits the switch in the center of the clamp, the iron claw will automatically close, grab the object, and then use more force.
The clip can be pulled apart.
Su Ming held the iron claw and swung it like a cowboy.
Whoosh.
The iron claw was thrown out by Su Ming, and the center of the claw hit the rock and then tightened.
The cute tiger sniffed the rose and found that the iron claw had been thrown on the rock behind her, and asked with some worry:
"Um...did you throw it in the wrong direction? Or let Xiaotu throw me."
"No, let me give it a try first." Su Ming took off at a trot and swung like a monkey. When the swing reached about 60 degrees, the iron claws could no longer bear Su Ming's weight and let go.
Originally, when the iron claw was still in good condition, it would automatically retract back, but now, it can only retract part of it. There is still about 1.5 meters of iron cable remaining outside, and it must be shaken before it can be launched again.
If Su Ming didn't have the gliding feather, he wouldn't have time to operate it. With it, he successfully threw the iron claw out and grabbed a new rock while he was in the air.
Repeating this cycle, Su Ming made a circle above the cave and landed steadily back to the cute tiger sniffing rose.
Cute Tiger Sniffing Rose saw Su Ming's series of operations, her mouth opened wide, and she asked in disbelief:
"Have you used similar props before?"
"No, it's my first time using it."
"It worked so well the first time?"
"Isn't it difficult? The coordination of the characters in the game is much better than in reality." Su Ming's agility has exceeded 100 points with the bonus of equipment, and he can make some actions that cannot be achieved in reality, but he doesn't feel that there is anything wrong with it.
Big deal.
"It's stronger than in reality, but that doesn't mean that you can do these actions if you are stronger than in reality." Menghu said to Xiuqiangwei, "What you're doing... is just squeezing out every attribute and function.
All done to the extreme.
I estimate that your brain speed is almost the same as those of professional players."
"Brain speed?"
The cute tiger sniffs the rose and explains to Su Ming:
“In the era of keyboard and mouse, there is hand speed, and in the virtual era, there is certainly brain speed. In other words, it is reaction speed.
According to general statistics, brain speed below 100 is the response of the elderly and young children, 100 to 175 is for middle-aged people, and 175 to 250 is normal for teenagers.
Those people on the weekly and monthly rankings who make all the difference in the game, except for a few who rely on consciousness, are basically above 250, and you are probably about the same."
Su Ming nodded. After playing the game, he found out that he was better than others in some aspects, such as the accuracy of his skills, his control of distance, his precise command of pets, etc.
In addition to his fast reaction speed, Su Ming felt that his super memory should also play a very important role.
He is obviously a vegetative person, but his brain is quite useful, hehe.
"What are you giggling about?" Menghu asked Qiangwei.
"It's okay. I'm a professional player. It's normal for me to be no different from professional players. Don't worry, as long as the King of Fire Demon doesn't wake up, you will definitely get the Molten Core."
Cute Tiger Sniffing Rose was infected by Su Ming's inexplicable confidence, so she gave him a thumbs up and said:
"come on."
Su Ming nodded, walked to a suitable distance, and began to observe the distribution of rocks above the lake.
Menghu Xiuqiangwei quietly turned on the video recording function. After a while, seeing that Su Ming didn't move, he asked:
"Why haven't you started yet?"
"I'm planning."
"Plan?" As soon as Menghu Xiangqiangwei finished speaking, Su Ming threw the iron claw out.
Su Ming swung towards the lake, and Menghu sniffed the rose with his heart tightening - when he was at the edge of the lake, the King of Fire Demon showed no sign of waking up. He didn't know if he would wake up the Fire Demon King when he entered the lake.
King of Demons.
As Su Ming used his claws for the second time, the cute tiger sniffed the rose and felt relieved. It was good, the Fire Demon King was still sleeping.
She began to concentrate on recording Su Ming's operations.
Because Su Ming did not wear a guild badge, and Su Ming performed very well in the cave, she wanted to lure Su Ming into the guild to help her brother.
Although Huxiao Qianchuan is the president of the Demon Realm, he can only command ordinary members. After the development of several virtual games, the powerful teams in the guild are paying less and less attention to my brother.
Cute Tiger Sniffing Rose also recently played this game and discovered that the usually majestic brother was actually a "fake tiger", so he came up with the idea of helping him.
According to Menghu Sniffing Rose's judgment, Su Ming is at least in the top ten of the weekly rankings, and he seems to be quite easy to talk to. If he is willing to help his brother, he can at least increase his voice.
Just when Menghu was sniffing the rose and thinking, Su Ming made a mistake.
Iron Claw led Su Ming forward quickly according to the rehearsal in his mind, but he did not take the solidity of the rock into consideration.
The rock Su Ming is holding on to now has been burned by magma for too long, and its roots are already showing signs of melting. After bearing Su Ming's weight, it broke directly.
"Ah!" Meng Huxiu Qiangwei also noticed Su Ming's mistake and covered her mouth.
Xiao Hei was jumping around in anxiety. Seeing Zaemon's calm expression, he couldn't help but ask:
"Zaemon, aren't you worried about Master?"
"I'm worried, but I think the master is very powerful and everything will be fine. Don't you trust the master?"
Being questioned about not trusting Su Ming, Xiao Hei became anxious:
"Dang...dang...of course I believe it! It means that belief and worry can be independent of each other... Damn it, I believe in the master more than you!"
Su Ming lived up to the trust of his two pets. He adapted to the situation and came up with a way to deal with it.
He was seen pulling back the iron claw with force, and two octopus tentacles flew out from his neck and grabbed the nearby rock, hanging him in the air.
Just when the tentacles were retracted and about to stick him to the hot rocks, he swung his iron claws and grabbed a new rock. Then he released the "Deep Sea Grasp" skill, his body suddenly fell, gained new kinetic energy, and was in the air again.
Ripple.
Finally, Su Ming successfully arrived at the crystal stone platform.
Stepping on the crystal stone platform, Su Ming received a "scorching" debuff, which deducted 500 health points every second. Su Ming could stand on this platform for more than 20 seconds at most.
Just when Su Ming was about to take away the Molten Core, a dark gold treasure chest suddenly appeared at his feet on the stone platform.
Dark gold!
Su Ming was overjoyed at first, and then frowned - it would take more than ten seconds to open the treasure box, and it was too late.
Su Ming thought to himself that he had promised Menghu Sniffing Rose that he would try his best to help her complete the task. If this treasure box was opened, the task would be changed.
Complete the mission first and then open the treasure chest when you have the chance.
Su Ming suppressed the desire to open the treasure chest, picked up the Molten Core, and a 3-second progress bar appeared.
It actually needs to be read, which proves that Molten Core can only be obtained by players or NPCs, and it is impossible to rely on flying pets.
After reading the note in 3 seconds, Su Ming was about to put the Molten Core into his backpack and leave, but received a system prompt.
System: Special mission items cannot be stored in the backpack.
Su Ming immediately changed his strategy, stuffed the gem into the potion belt, and buttoned it up. At this time, 5 seconds had passed and 2,500 health points had been deducted.
"Spore! The King of Fire Demon is awake!" On the shore, the cute tiger sniffing the rose suddenly shouted.
The originally sleeping Fire Demon King slowly opened his eyes, and the entire lake began to boil.
Su Ming seizes the time to swing his iron claw and return the way he came.
The boiling magma lake keeps exploding bubbles, and some of the magma splashes onto Su Ming, causing damage ranging from 500 to 1000 points.
Behind Su Ming, not long after he left, the dark gold treasure chest suddenly opened its lid. There were sharp teeth on the edges of the lid, and a huge tongue spit out of the box.
The crystal platform was dissolved by the boiling magma. The dark gold Mimic roared at Su Ming and sank with the crystal platform.
This treasure chest is actually a monster. If Su Ming tries to open it, he will definitely die!
"Dirty thief, get ready to meet the flames of the Fire Demon King!" The Fire Demon King stretched out his arm and raised a large piece of magma towards Su Ming.
Su Ming pulled the iron claw hard to loosen it, speeding up the landing.
The magma passed over Su Ming's head. Su Ming fell to the shore, rolled twice to relieve his pressure, took out the return stone and prepared to return to the city, but found that the special map could not be used...
Su Ming immediately stood up, rushed to Menghu Sniffing Rose, and shouted:
"Run!"
The Fire Demon King stood up from the lake. Su Ming looked back and realized that this was not a lake, but a part of the Fire Demon King's body.
The Lord of Fire seems to be a plug, suppressing the magma in the cave.
After it stood up, the magma blocked by it poured out like a flood.
Su Ming took Xiaohei and Zuemon back to the pet space and rushed towards Menghu Sniffing Rose. Before she could react, Su Ming took her hand and ran towards the entrance of the cave.
Just as Cute Tiger Sniffing Rose was about to resist, a bottle of cold potion and gems were passed to her hands. Su Ming grinned and said to her:
"The mission is completed. There is also a potion of swiftness, which speeds up the process. You can drink it for free."
Then Su Ming let go of his hand.
Being chased by the lava, Su Ming felt very excited. He ran wildly with shouts and screams, and soon distanced himself from the cute tiger and the sniffing rose...
The situation was urgent. Faced with the intimacy reminder that popped up from the system, Menghu Sniffing Rose didn't think carefully. He just clicked "Yes" and then activated the ancient contract and summoned all the summoned objects at once.
The wind element accelerated, and then the fastest thunder element carried her and ran, barely keeping up with Su Ming...
About three minutes later, Su Ming arrived at the entrance.
He looked back and saw the Fire Demon King behind him waving his huge hammer violently. The magma behind him seemed to be its soldiers, charging forward with the force of the wind and the remaining clouds.
The cute tiger was a little slow in sniffing the rose, and was about to be overtaken.
"Help!"
Deep sea grip!
Two octopus hands stretched out from Su Ming's neck, and he immediately grabbed the cute tiger Sniffing Rose and quickly pulled her towards him, avoiding the attack of the Fire Demon King.
Due to the characteristics of the deep sea grip, the cute tiger sniffed the rose and leaned against Su Ming's chest, and the reminder of "harassment and punishment" came. Now that Su Ming is still operating, of course she clicked "No"...
After clicking No, the intimacy reminder came out. After a moment of hesitation, I felt that Su Ming was quite handsome just now, so I quietly clicked Yes.
Su Ming took the cute tiger and sniffed the rose and jumped to the bottom of the stone cliff.
The Fire Demon King rushed to the broken stone door and was stopped by the powerful magic circle. It roared and swung its hammer violently, and was gradually submerged in the cave by magma.
The Fire Lord cannot leave the volcanic cave, but the magma can!
Thick and hot magma surged out and quickly spread along the hillside, killing monsters, melting rocks, and billowing thick smoke rising into the sky.
Su Ming hugged the cute tiger and sniffed the rose, and was about to fall down.
Feeling the heat wave below, Menghu Xiangqiangwei panicked and subconsciously looked for support. She looked up at Su Ming and said in fear:
"what to do?"
Su Ming smiled and replied:
"First, turn down the perception...then, look at me!
hammer!"
Su Ming shouted, and the newly conquered molten flame element was summoned directly below.
Su Ming has not forgotten the scene where the hammer was swimming in the magma just now.
"Catch me, please~"
Although Hammer's loyalty is very low, it is at least not zero. It has the instinct to protect the trainer. It raised its hands and caught Su Ming.
"Very well, please take me away from the magma~" Su Ming asked the hammer again.
The flames squirmed under the hammer, and he carried Su Ming and Menghu Xiangqiang down the mountain.
