Lu Mingfei, become the King of Elden!

Chapter 166 Robert!
Lu Mingfei took a deep breath, his chest bulged, and then he suddenly exhaled the flame into the torch in his hand!
call!
Combat Technique: Fire Breathing!

The blazing flames burned like dragons in the air, carving out a huge fan-shaped area and leaving a trail on the ground. The flames leaped rapidly up two Red Lion soldiers clad in red cylindrical tunics, who howled in pain, but their first reaction wasn't to extinguish the flames, but to draw their swords and slash at Lu Mingfei!
Everyone in Galid values ​​martial prowess, and the Red Lions are a prime example. Even the lowest-ranking soldier possesses a fierceness and resilience ingrained in their very bones!
Lu Mingfei looked amazed, then without hesitation swung the ancient greatsword in his hand. A cold glint flashed in the dim cave, and a fresh head fell to the ground.

The headless, mangled body lunged forward two steps before collapsing, engulfed in raging flames.

As the blood gushed forth, Lu Mingfei spun around, twisted his waist, and delivered a powerful kick to the side of another soldier, using a kicking technique passed down by two knights of the "Storm Knights".

Caught off guard, the soldier lost his balance in an instant, his entire body turning into a streak of fire, tracing an arc in the air before plummeting off the cliff.

boom!
"Ouch!"

Lu Mingfei took a step forward, stepping onto the edge of the rotten wooden platform, the planks groaning under the weight. He leaned down and, by the light of the still-burning "human-shaped torch," managed to glimpse the jagged, steep rock face below.

He clicked his tongue:
"It's a bit deep."

Lu Mingfei bowed his head and silently mourned for a second for the Red Lion soldier who had been burned and fallen off the cliff, and thanked him for his contribution to the exploration before starting to look for a way down.

However, after looking around, Lu Mingfei discovered that there were neither ladders nor elevators.

The Red Lions are clearly not crazy; they wouldn't put two soldiers on top of an empty cave.

But how do we get down?
Lu Mingfei fell into deep thought.

Are we going to fly down?
Or, free climbing?
Lu Mingfei's gaze fell on the steep, almost vertical rock face below the edge of the platform, then he looked down at his hands encased in heavy iron gloves, and considered the weight of his homeless knight's armor, which must have weighed dozens of kilograms.
"...This is terrible."

Lu Mingfei's Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed, considering the possibilities of successfully climbing to the bottom or becoming "Lu Mingfei-chan," before ultimately having to abandon the idea.

Just as Lu Mingfei was racking his brains for a way to continue, a faint candlelight on the cliff face suddenly caught his attention.

He sheathed his greatsword, and with a thought, he flicked his wrist, and a small stone shimmering with dazzling colors appeared in his hand.

Rainbow stone.

"The finished product, simply processed from relic stones... can emit any of the seven colors when placed, becoming a luminous road sign. In addition, it can also be used to estimate the height above the ground. If a sharp sound is heard after dropping it, it means that jumping down will definitely result in death... In the border areas of the border region, it is a toy for children."

This thing, like a torch, is practically essential for exploring the map.

Lu Mingfei focused his mind slightly, the muscles on his forearm bulged slightly, aimed the stone in his hand at the candlelight, and with a slight force in his wrist, threw it with a clever way of exerting force.

Click.

A crisp, light sound rang out clearly in the quiet cave.

The rainbow stone landed beside the candlelight, illuminating the surroundings, and a small, man-made rock platform appeared in Lu Mingfei's eyes.

It worked!
Lu Mingfei was overjoyed. After calculating the angle between himself and the platform and confirming that it was feasible, he squatted down slightly, tightened his core, stabilized his center of gravity, and then suddenly leaped out!

Boom!
A muffled thud. The Lost Knight's webbed iron boots landed on the rocks, the immense impact traveling through the steel to his legs, making his knees slightly numb.

But the platform beneath their feet remained perfectly still, signifying a successful landing for this adventure.

Lu Mingfei followed the same method.

As muffled booms echoed through the cave, the knight in silver armor rose and fell between man-made rock platforms, quickly reaching the underground.

Lu Mingfei slowly straightened up, shook his numb feet, and looked up. The phototaxis of the Faded Ones allowed him to quickly see the golden light in front of a pile of broken wooden boxes.

It is a blessing!
The appearance of the blessing signifies the guidance of two fingers, indicating that there must be something to explore here.

The exploration has begun.

After resting briefly at the cave entrance and confirming that the path ahead was clear, he retrieved his wire torch and replaced it with the Lost Knight's Greatsword. The slightly heavy weight of the greatsword in his hands brought him a sense of security.

Lu Mingfei walked along the cave passage in front of Cifu for a short distance before exiting the cave. The space in front of the cave suddenly opened up, with Red Lion soldiers standing on the wooden platform and steps, serving as both patrol and supervisors.

Numerous hunched and emaciated miners wielded enormous pickaxes, smashing through the thick rock in the cave with a clanging sound, revealing the ore beneath.

Xiu Gu's words suddenly came to Lu Mingfei's mind.

"Forging stone is a stone used to forge various weapons in border areas."

"It is found throughout the entire border region, with tunnels dug everywhere to mine it. But after the Ring of Law was broken, the forging stones from all the mines stopped flowing out and being traded."

Yes, this is not an ordinary cave or an underground cemetery, but a tunnel under the control of the Red Lion Legion that can produce forging stones!
It's like finding a needle in a haystack, only to have it come to you effortlessly!

Lu Mingfei was worried about how to find more forging stones.

Xiu Gu has poured all the low-grade forging stones he obtained from Neferi into the two greatswords, making the two ordinary standard greatswords sharp, strong, and even strong enough to withstand the incorruptible crimson decay.

However, when faced with the enormous, ferocious, and desperately resilient mutated creatures of the cursed land of Galid, especially those damned monsters that looked like both prehistoric dinosaurs and canines, even the enhanced Greatsword of the Lost Knight seemed somewhat inadequate.

Every time he fought those monsters, Lu Mingfei felt like he was trying to cut tough leather with a dull knife.

Those incredibly thick skin and muscles often required him to expend tremendous effort, repeatedly hacking at the same spot to tear open a fatal wound.

This greatly depleted his physical strength and increased the risk of battle.

He often swung his sword while mentally ranting: Who the hell created this Frankenstein-like thing? And why does it have to look like a dog?
