At the foot of the black volcano, a long line of people are crowding each other to prepare to climb the mountain.
The ooze guide walked at the front of the team, explaining related attractions along the way.
"This is the entrance to the Black Volcano attraction. If you come here during the dormant period, you need a ticket. But now because it is the most dangerous time for the Black Volcano, no tickets are required for the next two months. We can enter at will.
.”
While explaining the scenic spots, the tour guide of the ooze monster continued to move forward with Black Dragon Goudan and a lot of other people. After walking about a hundred meters, he explained the composition of the nearby soil and the types of rocks.
.
"Wait a minute, is there any very dangerous place here that is suitable for hiding?"
Just when the ooze monster guide was about to continue explaining, Sherlock, who was following the team, asked the ooze monster tour guide.
"If there is such a place, it must be the inside of the Black Volcano! There are caves extending in all directions inside the Black Volcano, but it is a very dangerous place even during the dormant period, let alone when it is still active."
The ooze monster tour guide said with a slightly surprised expression:
"So you really came here to commit mass suicide? No, I mean, to find the true meaning of life."
"That's pretty much what it means."
Sherlock nodded and did not deny it. As for those players, they are currently in plot mode.
"Then, let me introduce it to you in detail..."
The ooze monster tour guide cleared his throat:
“The most unique place in the entire Black Volcano!”
——————————
As the most important tourist attraction in the northern underground world, the Black Volcano solves the very serious overpopulation problem in the underground world.
One of the best is the black volcanic lava cave.
Just by hearing the name, you know that this is a place full of dangers, and according to the tour guide, if anyone wants to hide something, this is the most suitable place.
But now is the active period. Except for people who want to die, most people will not go there, and the ooze monster tour guide certainly does not want to go there.
After giving Sherlock a rough map and wishing them good luck, the ooze guide dragged his slimy body away.
The players began their new journey of exploration.

After players receive this server-wide mission, the exploration journey of Black Volcano officially begins.
Outside the black volcano, apart from the occasional falling volcanic lava, the only danger is slipping and falling.
But in lava caves, things are different.
"Wocao! Finally an elemental monster appears!"
Umekawa Kuko looked excitedly at the walking fireballs with little feet in front of her.
Creatures like this can be seen everywhere in lava caves.
Information about this creature was quickly updated on the official website.
[Monster name: Lava Scout

The task of mapping lava caves is not simple. The entrances to the caves are all over the entire black volcano. There are more than thirty entrances discovered and numbered by players alone.
After entering the entrance, the entire lava cave is like a maze.
If you are an ordinary person, you may still be afraid of getting lost inside, but players have no such worries.
Almost less than an hour after the first batch of players entered the lava cave, various marks had been marked on the existing entrance of the lava cave, and there were also various comments on the forum.
Maze guide post, lost? It doesn’t exist.
"Try to ridicule first."
Around Hoehe, there were a total of more than thirty players, all members of the [Pioneer Alliance] guild. However, everyone was still very cautious about the new fire element monsters. After all, the monsters encountered before were of the highest level.
The one was only level 25 of the ogre, but the lava scout in front of him was actually the same level as the ogre, although he was much smaller.
"grandson!"
Chuhe shouted at the fireball in the distance, but the fireball didn't react at all.
"It seems this strange taunt is useless."
Sylvanas raised her short bow and looked at her teammates:
"What should I do? How about I activate monsters remotely?"
"There's no other way to get caught. Let's do it remotely first."
Other players obviously agree with Sylvanas' suggestion.
"Then you are all ready! We are going to start a monster!"
Sylvanas shouted, and then drew her short bow. The other players retreated slightly and prepared their weapons and shields.
Sylvanas drew the bow string, and the arrow flew out with a whoosh, and then landed accurately on the lava scout. The arrow inserted into the lava scout quickly burned, and the lava scout
As if nothing was wrong, he rushed towards the players very quickly.
"Get ready!" Arthur shouted, and the other players were already ready.
The lava scout rushed towards Arthur and the others, the flames on his body gradually expanded, and a small fireball went straight towards a player. The player was hit by the fireball before he could even react.
, then fell to the ground, and his body quickly disappeared, leaving only his equipment still burning.
Someone nearby immediately took off their clothes and tried to extinguish the flames burning the equipment, but no matter how hard they tried, they could not extinguish the flames. They could only watch helplessly as the equipment was continuously burned and damaged by the flames.
It won't be enough to directly burn it into molten iron, but a certain amount of repair costs are certain.
"Draft it! What's so weird about this!"
"Special damage to equipment?"
"Did I draft it? The dog planner wants to hack my equipment again!"
"It's so hard for me!"
The players howled, but there was no time to howl because the small fireball had already rushed over.
Soon, balls of flames burned in the passage of the cave.

Simba banged his hammer. There seemed to be a lot of players coming to repair their equipment today.
Most of their equipment was partially damaged by the flames. Generally speaking, it is not very difficult, but repeatedly repairing these equipment mechanically makes it difficult for people to feel happy.
The heavy workload made Simba frown.
Players who originally planned to strengthen their equipment, seeing Yoda's expression, all gave up their plans. It would be best to strengthen their equipment tomorrow.
Simba knocked down with a hammer and repaired the last piece of equipment. Seeing that there was still a long queue outside, Simba closed the shop:
"Get off work and come back early tomorrow."
"Repair equipment! Repair equipment! A junior blacksmith repairs equipment! With one hammer blow, it all depends on whether it is good or bad! If you want to repair equipment, come to me! The price is cheap and there are many discounts!"
"Repair ten pieces of equipment in a row, and none of them are damaged! It costs 100 copper coins to repair the equipment, and 1 silver coin to repair the whole body, no matter how much!"
The moment Simba closed the door, the players quickly shouted outside the blacksmith shop.
Players who learn blacksmith skills can also repair equipment, but their success rate in repairing equipment is currently not high. When Simba starts work, players are still willing to line up to repair it at Simba, at least with 100% success.
There is no success rate that depends on mood like strengthening equipment.
Players want to improve their blacksmith skills, on the one hand, forging new weapons and equipment, and on the other hand, repairing them.
Only after Simba got off work did he dare to shout twice near the blacksmith shop to see if there were any impatient players who couldn't wait until tomorrow morning.
There are still some players like this.
Simba ignored the transactions of the players behind him. He was packing his things and planning to go home. But as soon as he went out, he saw his younger brother Mufasa running towards this side quickly, breathing heavily.
said:
"Brother, hurry up, the lord calls us to a meeting!"
Is there a meeting? Are wages paid? It's not here yet. Although Simba is a little confused, Mufasa doesn't know why. The two of them can only go to the Lord's Hall first to see what Lord Sherlock has to announce.
