Chapter 267 The Abandoned Golden City (Please subscribe~)
Su Ming adjusted his position in the air and glided into the distance, feeling a heat wave coming from behind him.
In the pit, a slender purple flame spurted out. The flame first rose very high, and then fell back to a height of 4 or 5 meters.
The corpse of the multi-winged bone worm was burned by the flames, emitting an unpleasant smell.
Su Ming fell to the ground, smelled the smell, and was skeptical about whether the flames could strengthen the hammer... However, when Su Ming saw the hammer drooling, he still let go of the restrictions on the hammer and said:
"Just do whatever you want."
Hammer nodded excitedly, jumped into the pit with a sledgehammer, and blocked the fire-belching hole.
"roar!"
The hammer was burned by the flames, screamed in agony, and its blood volume dropped. It built a shield on its own. Su Ming was worried and used the "Guard" skill on the hammer. If the situation was not right, there was also "Live and Let's Live Together".
"Death" means that the hammer has two lives.
The purpose of this purple flame is unknown, but from the moment it sprayed out, Su Ming's mission was completed and he was rewarded.
System: You have completed "Hammer's Dream" and obtained 1 exclusive skill point, which can be used to improve one of Hammer's skills.
The reward is a pet skill point, which is worthy of the serious failure penalty.
It has always been very difficult for pets to upgrade their skills. There are very few pets like Xiao Hei that improve their skills as their level increases, just like players do.
Pet skills cannot be easily upgraded, which is also one of the important factors limiting the strength of ordinary animal trainers.
Su Ming continued to observe the hammer, and used life and death to help it push it for a while. If it still didn't work... Su Ming also had the Mirror of Dharma, and could help push the hammer a little bit more. If it didn't work again...
I can only use the guardian to pull the hammer away.
Fortunately, before the second life was about to be used up, the system sent a prompt.
System: Your pet hammer is growing...
Open the attribute panel of the hammer, and you can see that the hammer's maximum health and magic value are increasing at a rate of 10 points per second, the armor and magic resistance are increasing at a rate of 1 point per second, and the magic attack power is increasing at a rate of 1 to 2 points.
/second speed increase.
Finally, a total of 200 points of maximum health and magic points were increased, armor and magic resistance were increased by 20 points, and magic attack power was increased by 20 to 40 points.
The hammer's life grows by 270 points per level, its armor grows by 14 points per level, its magic resistance grows by 17 points per level, and its magic attack power grows by 25~35 points per level.
After spending so much effort, Su Ming felt that... this improvement was a bit small in return for the same benefits as upgrading.
"roar!"
After the purple flames dissipated, the hammer swam out of the pit in a menacing manner, with a hint of cold purple added to the orange-red flames on his body.
"Fire." Hammer pointed into the distance, his pronunciation became clearer, and he seemed to be a little smarter.
Seeing the movement of the hammer, Su Ming speculated and asked:
"Is there any place where the Hellfire erupts?"
Hammer nodded vigorously.
If it can be improved repeatedly, then the improvement will be acceptable, and maybe quantitative changes can lead to qualitative changes.
Originally, Su Ming wanted to invest skill points in Molten Sweep. Now that Hammer has the possibility to continue to improve, Su Ming will keep these skill points for the time being. He wants to see if Hammer will learn more before leaving Shayuan.
Powerful skills.
Su Ming followed the hammer for a while, and the next point where the Hellfire erupted was beyond the 620-yard range of activity, so Su Ming returned to the boulder where Wu Nike was.
Wu Nico heard a huge noise just now, but she couldn't contact Zaemon and the others directly like Xiao Hei to inquire about the situation. She was very worried. Now that she saw Su Ming coming back, she immediately started asking carefully.
Su Ming told Wu Nike what happened just now.
"The eruption point of Hellfire?" Wu Niike saw a wisp of purple flame floating on the hammer and said: "The sandy abyss is originally the middle ground between the human world and the abyss, so it is not unusual to have Hellfire.
It’s just that ordinary fire elements can’t withstand hell fire, but I didn’t expect that your fire element can actually do it.”
Su Ming thought that it might be because the hammer came from the cave where the Fire Demon King was.
The cave is now flooded with magma. After the magma cools, others will be unable to enter, and they probably won't be able to catch pets similar to the hammer.
After Su Ming became famous, many animal trainers imitated Su Ming's pet configuration, but they could not catch slimes that were capable of fighting, nor could they train scar pigs that could use swords. The best thing to imitate was a hammer.
.
Various locations where the fire element is refreshed have been visited by animal trainers. There are a few powerful pets appearing, but they have never been seen exactly the same.
Wu Niike heard from Su Ming that if he wanted to take the hammer to find a new eruption point of the underworld fire, he needed to move his position, and smiled:
"Okay, the compass is more than half repaired. I'll assemble it and it should be able to point out the general direction. We can repair it as we go and save some time."
So, Su Ming took out the soul crystal from his body, repaired a few parts, and the two set off.
————
Boom boom.
In the calm sandy abyss of the past, there has been a little ripple in the past two days.
Violent explosions occur from time to time, disturbing nearby monsters.
If any powerful monster comes to check, it will be shot with a red line and serve Su Ming for 5 minutes.
As the scope of exploration broadened, Su Ming also saw many strange-looking bone monsters in the sandy abyss. They were all like pseudo-skeletal dragons. They looked powerful, but in fact they only had elite strength.
With these monsters, Su Ming doesn't have to take risks himself every time and blow up the Hellfire Fountain for the hammer.
In this day and a half, Wu Ni Ke, with the help of Su Ming, repaired the compass. Now the compass can accurately point out the location of the gem.
When moving forward, the hammer will sense the nearby Hellfire eruption point. Su Ming will spend some time, deviate from the route, and help it explode the flame fountain. This kind of thing is familiar once and twice, and it can be done quickly.
When the 11th Hellfire eruption point was exploded and the hammer entered it, the attributes no longer increased. The hammer roared with some disappointment and accepted this reality.
After receiving the baptism of Hellfire 10 times in total, the hammer gained a total of 2,000 points of health, magic value, 200 points of armor and magic resistance, and 200~400 points of magic attack power, which is equivalent to wearing two pieces of over-level 20 gold equipment.
Not bad.
The board is not as good as Xiao Hei, but it can compete with Zaemon, but the skill set is not as powerful as Zaemon.
The "quantitative change leading to qualitative change" that Su Ming expected did not happen. However, he still kept the skill points first and planned to give them back after leaving Shayuan.
Although there was no need to repair the compass anymore, Su Ming did not stop the bone brushing bug.
While Wu Nike was sleeping and eating on the road, Su Ming got 100 soul crystals.
"The process of robbing the gems may be dangerous. 100 gems should be enough."
Carrying 100 soul crystals, Su Ming and Wu Nike moved forward at full speed in the sandy abyss. At noon, they saw an abandoned city.
Wu Nike stood on a high place and looked down at the deserted city. When she saw the tall pyramid in the center of the city, she opened her mouth in surprise and murmured to herself:
"It's actually the Golden City! The gem we're looking for is in the Golden City! Why is the Golden City in the sandy abyss?"
The Golden City is the most famous city in the Esperne region. It is said that it uses gold as tiles, silver as walls, and bright orbs as street lights. At night, it is more dazzling than the bright moon in the sky, and can be seen from thousands of miles away.
Everyone can see its brilliance.
Moreover, under the rule of Miu Mi, people in the entire city indulged themselves in enjoyment without worries. They ate, slept, played, and slept again when they were tired... It was the dream city that everyone in the Esperne region longed for.
.
But now the golden city is covered with a layer of white sand, the prosperity is gone, and the golden light is no longer visible.
Su Ming also observed the city, but his focus was different from Wu Nike's. Seeing the sharp decrease in monsters around the city, Su Ming reminded Wu Nike:
"Monsters dare not approach the Golden City. We must be more careful when entering the city."
Wu Niike nodded and followed Su Ming down the sandy slope towards the Golden City.
