"Boom!"
A massive wave formed by scorching hot Lava gushed out from below, bringing a high temperature of several thousand degrees, as well as the impact of Flame Mana.
There wasn't even air in this place, but everyone was able to remain calm and composed.
There was no need to speak of that Curse Warlock Liu Sheng; the warlock robe on his body could automatically insulate against high temperatures.
And on Warrior Old Jia's heavy Armor, there was a rather massive Magic Rune that automatically activated, forming a protective shield that insulated against high temperatures.
Storm Knight Old Qiao had a mass of wind aura spiraling around his entire body.
That Assassin Little Tao remained completely indifferent. It was unknown whether her magic immunity coefficient was sufficiently high, or if she possessed other abilities.
But her Perception of at least 40 points couldn't be wrong.
Of course, everyone's respective organizations had their own different Professions, different advancement routes, and different foundations. It wasn't easy to discern their origins either.Therefore, although Li Wei could similarly remain completely indifferent at this time—his 85% All-Element Magic Immunity was still very awesome—he still let a layer of ice float around his body, slightly putting on a show.
In addition, it's worth mentioning that he also took out a Six-Star Artifact Bow. He didn't dare use his own Seven-Star Holy Ranger Bow. This Six-Star Artifact Bow could also be considered extraordinary; he had even seen it on that Samsara Traveler Scout previously.
In short, there wouldn't be any problems in this regard. Because the Weapons used by Samsara Travelers, Contractors, and Class Holders from various other organizations were truly of all shapes and colors.
"Is everyone ready? The Primal Chaos Beasts within the Primal Ore Vein won't easily be drawn out. They are like misers; as long as the external environment doesn't change, they won't easily budge. But once they are enraged, that will be a fierce battle."
Warrior Old Jia at this time took out an odd mechanical large shield that could freely combine, bend, and change. This object rapidly unfurled, forming a small fortress fortification that enveloped tens of square meters right on this giant boulder.
"Little Tao, Thomas, your number of mining times is few, and your Experience is also scarce. In a moment, once Aggro overflows, when Old Qiao and I don't have time to protect you, hide in here."
Old Jia took the trouble to instruct repeatedly. The environment where the Primal Ore Vein was located changed constantly. Right now, this was within fiery Lava, but sometimes it would also appear under extreme frost, or within bizarre venom. Even he didn't dare say he completely understood it, much less these two novices.
Li Wei nodded continuously. Listen to people's advice, eat a full meal.
Next, Old Jia and Old Qiao exchanged a glance. The former once again took out a Six-Star large shield, while the latter summoned a rare Six-Star Warhorse. One could only say this was too extravagant.
"I'll go first!"
Old Qiao said a sentence. His entire body was suddenly enveloped by violent winds. The warhorse neighed and shot out, unexpectedly leaping off the giant boulder, stepping on the Lava, and charging out over a thousand meters in the blink of an eye. And in just this short time, this Storm Knight Old Qiao's figure could no longer be seen, completely enveloped by a massive storm. The killing intent within it was like substance; one person was just like a Legion.
Worthy of being a Fifth-tier Epic existence.
If Li Wei's foundation wasn't solid enough, in this kind of battle where he still needed to conceal himself, he would instead very easily spill the beans.
But right now, just relying on his ability to fight as freely as usual within this Lava-filled Mountain Belly was already enough to make the others believe him. At most they would feel he was a weak chicken Rank 5.
At this time, in a short period, Storm Knight Old Qiao had already made a round trip and returned. Furthermore, he continuously set off over a dozen massive Lava waves. The purpose of this commotion was very obvious: to draw out the Primal Chaos Beasts or Blood Plague Zombie Variants guarding near the Primal Ore Vein. This was also one of the methods to determine the specific location of the Primal Ore Vein.
And sure enough, the effect of this move was extremely good. Accompanied by a strange chirping sound, several thousand creatures resembling loaches, with body lengths around four to five meters, drilled out from the depths of the Lava. They had no claws, no wings, only a large mouth with a suction cup, and on the tongue inside, densely packed teeth grew.
In addition, not only was their swimming speed in the Lava extremely fast, but they could also launch terrifying jumps, just like a slingshot, even able to jump at supersonic speeds————
Therefore, in merely a short few seconds, Storm Knight Old Qiao was somewhat complaining incessantly. The speed of his Six-Star Warhorse was quite extraordinary, but in front of this kind of several thousand bizarre magic beasts that could launch at supersonic speeds, it still couldn't hold up.
"Prepare for battle! These are the Primal Chaos Beasts, Fire Loaches. Support Old Qiao!"
Old Jia shouted out loudly at this time, but didn't charge out. Although he was also Rank 5, Warriors had short legs; it was truly beyond his reach.
However, at this time, it was the turn for ranged Professions to play their role.
Li Wei charged down the rock at the first instance. His entire person was also like a spring; one jump could leap out two to three hundred meters. Mhmm, Legendary Skill Gale Step, understand it a bit.
Then, at the instant he landed on some scattered rocks, he rapidly drew his bow. What he used was a 5-Star Anti-Magic Arrow, but it was covered with a Tier 3 Frost Bolt.
He also didn't know if it was useful or not, but there was no harm in trying.
"Boom!"
An arrow flew out, lightly and easily shooting out at three times the speed of sound, shooting and exploding a Fire Loach that was jumping towards him. The effect was unexpectedly extremely good.
It had nothing to do with precision, but rather that Frost Bolts could simply form a natural suppression against this kind of Fire Loach!
However, there was also a weak point, which was that it couldn't exceed one thousand meters. Otherwise, Tier 3 Frost Bolts would also easily be impacted by the intense Flame Mana here and rapidly melt.
So Li Wei had to execute Gale Step on one hand to accelerate his approach.
On that side, Storm Old Qiao had already been jumped by a massive amount of Fire Loaches until he was Battered and Bruised. His strength was very strong, but he also couldn't withstand this kind of exceptionally endowed gang beating ah.
Fortunately, Li Wei had already arrived in time.
In fact, he was also currently amidst the attacks of the Fire Loaches; every second he had to endure an attack volume of twenty to thirty.
Fortunately, even if it wasn't the Seven-Star Holy Ranger Bow, and merely the Six-Star Artifact Bow, Li Wei could still respond calmly. Furthermore, because the distance was too close, he didn't even need substantial Fletched Arrows. Directly applying Tier 3 Frost Bolts, lightly and easily, one bow three arrows, or one bow five arrows, Floating Clouds and Flowing Water, the effect was extraordinary.
Of course, this originally should be an introductory method for a Tier 5 Ranger.
It couldn't be considered outstanding; rather, the point about Frost Bolts was very important.
In the blink of an eye, Li Wei had already supported Storm Old Qiao. The storm Domain brought up around his whole body was almost unable to be maintained. Because being jumped on by Fire Loaches, this was a solid and concrete explosion ah.
Comparable to the power of a Great Fireball, and moreover it was a one-time gang beating of over a hundred; who could endure that ah?
At this moment, even Li Wei's scalp went somewhat numb. Forcefully restraining himself from using his own Seven-Star Holy Ranger Bow, he responded with his full power. Frost Bolts were just like being splashed out, twenty to thirty shots a second, barely rescuing Storm Old Qiao from his Battered and Bruised state. His Six-Star Warhorse was almost unable to hold on.
"Thanks, brother!"
Storm Old Qiao shouted out loudly, unhesitatingly accelerating his speed. And Li Wei then all at once pulled almost all of the Aggro.
Several hundred Fire Loaches jumped towards him at supersonic speeds.
Motherfucker, Li Wei was also scared into a shudder. His figure flashed, Gale Step unfurled, and his whole person transformed into dozens of afterimages. In an instant he caught up to Storm Old Qiao, but soon after the second wave was another several hundred Fire Loaches jumping over. This was the most difficult to deal with aspect of this thing.
Li Wei's Gale Step indeed could dodge bullets, and even calmly move beneath a dense rain of arrows. But everything still had to have a limit. Not to mention, if he dodged right now, Storm Old Qiao would become a glaring target.
Mhmm, it wasn't that Old Qiao wasn't strong enough, but rather under this scene and environment, he truly couldn't withstand this kind of gang beating.
If these several thousand Fire Loaches merged into one super large loach, he instead wouldn't be this miserable.
He could even fight a round back and forth.
At that time, Li Wei would be the one injured upon contact, and crippled upon being hit.
Instead, at this very moment, Li Wei, relying on Gale Step, could instead display the maximum advantage of his Profession.
But right now, it was hard to handle ah!
Fortunately at this time, Adai's mind was connected to his. Without needing to be summoned, he attached himself onto Li Wei's Six-Star Artifact Bow, equivalent to temporarily enhancing the basic attributes of this Six-Star Artifact Bow a bit.
In a split second, extremely dense Frost Mana erupted, even freezing the scorching Lava within a hundred meters radius all at once. Closely following, Li Wei rapidly drew his bow. His entire person, along with the Artifact Bow, transformed like a magical ice sculpture. Dense Tier 3 Frost Bolts frantically formed, as if he had become a hedgehog iceberg.
"Hit!"
Accompanied by Li Wei's loud shout, in the next instant, exactly five hundred and eighty-two Frost Bolts shot out and emptied the air, directly submerging those pursuing jumping Fire Loaches with a sky full of arrow rain. This time they didn't explode in the air, but rather like the east wind prevailing over the west wind, they turned into Flame Orbs one by one, falling down with clinking sounds.
But right at this time, a black shadow flashed past. With a speed even faster than Li Wei's Gale Step, in the blink of an eye, it collected all the over five hundred Flame Orbs.
It was actually Assassin Little Tao.
There was no helping this.
Li Wei's Gale Step could crush Storm Old Qiao, and he could dodge two hundred bullets or supersonic Fletched Arrows at once. But when facing the Assassin Class, another branch of the Ranger Class, in terms of evasion and speed, he would be surpassed again.
Moreover, he was still only a Fourth Tier!
Of course, all this happened in a Flash of Lightning and Spark of Flint.
Li Wei retreated like lightning. Assassin Little Tao caught up even more so, arriving first despite starting later, and retreated back onto the rock one step ahead of him. As for Storm Old Qiao, he also took this opportunity to retreat back.
And the remaining Fire Loaches, after suffering this wave of severe damage, Lower Flags and Silence Drums, and pursued no longer.
"Brother Thomas, many thanks!"
Storm Old Qiao, at this time, rarely revealed a smile to give his thanks.
Old Jia also nodded. "That's right. Thomas's Ice Magic in this environment is indeed impressive, naturally countering the Fire Loaches. Otherwise, this thing would not be easy to deal with."
Saying this, Old Jia directly stretched out his hand towards Assassin Little Tao. The latter silently handed over the Flame Orbs she had just picked up.
This object looked just like a Fire Crystal. Its size was only as big as a fist, but its quality was absolutely two levels higher than a Fire Crystal.
"This can probably be considered a Five-Star quality fire source crystal. Although it doesn't count as true Source Ore, its value is also not small. According to the rules, which is also what Liu Sheng said, he gets forty percent. Old Qiao drew the monsters, and Thomas suppressed them, so you guys each get twenty percent. Little Tao and I each get ten percent."
"If there are no objections, let's distribute it like this."
