What kind of wizard are you if you don't have any entries?

The source of flame-related terms within the molten crystals of volcanoes was absorbed by the system and refined in an instant.

The number of fragmented entries for the term "维" is constantly increasing.

5/20……10/20……15/20……

Ultimately, the number of fire-related attribute fragments in this round was 15.7/20.

"15.7 fragments, and I'm close to 20 fragments. Unlocking the fire-related attribute is not far away."

Verin closed the system panel and let out a soft breath.

"I just don't know if accumulating more attribute fragments will allow me to obtain top-tier attributes."

"But we should know soon enough. Once we find another cluster of volcanic lava crystals, we can witness the system's limits."

After scanning the numerous volcanic crystals from which the extracted terminology originated, and confirming that nothing had been missed, Valin returned to the two slain elite Blood Demons.

The blood of elite Bloodborne is used as a raw material for concocting [Bloodborne Potion]. Furthermore, Vellin has the ability to suck blood, making it easy to extract blood. Unfortunately, Vellin does not have a special container to store fresh blood, so the blood easily spoils.

"The blood-flame scales on the forehead of this elite Blood Devil and its demonic horns are valuable items that can fetch a good price, but they're difficult to remove."

Verin raised an eyebrow; he already had a solution.

He pulled a rudimentary alchemical axe from his magic bag, and as magic was poured into it, the axe gleamed with a cold light.

"If they're hard to remove, then take them all back with you."

He quickly severed the heads of the two elite Blood Demons and put them directly into his magic bag.

Just as Verin was about to ride away on his magic broom.

Splash...

In the lava river flowing nearby, large swathes of lava suddenly churned.

The surrounding air temperature rose considerably in an instant.

In Verin's rapidly contracting pupils, a colossal figure emerged from the river of lava.

The fiery red scales gleamed with a cold light as the scalding hot lava flowed past without leaving a trace.

puff puff...

His heavy breathing, like the intense heat of a furnace, burst forth.

When a pair of cold, bloodthirsty eyes, larger than Verin's fist, stared directly at him, Verin felt a slight stinging pain in his eyes.

The demonic horns, over a meter long, stood tall, their tips ablaze with molten lava.

A powerful aura emanating from a demonic bloodline caused fear to grow in Verin's heart.

"Blood Demon Leader, damn it! This is a high-level Blood Demon Leader!"

Facing such a powerful, leader-level creature that was six or seven meters tall, and on the other side's home turf...

Hesitating for even a second is disrespectful to one's own life.

Verin gritted his teeth, gripped the magic broom tightly with both hands, and poured a large amount of magic into it.

hum-

The magic broom launched itself forward and sped away into the distance.

He hadn't flown very far yet.

"roar--"

A deafening roar of anger exploded like a thunderclap.

Clearly, the Blood Demon leader had seen Valin's masterpiece.

Verin turned around and saw that the high-ranking Blood Demon leader had already taken to the air and was flapping its wings to chase after him, its fiery eyes staring coldly at him.

Judging from their appearance, the other party clearly wouldn't let him go easily.

The high-level Blood Demon leader was enormous, and the lava river passage was not particularly wide.

However, the Blood Defile leader, with its demonic wings spread, was not only fast but also quite agile as it flew over the narrow river of lava.

For winged supernatural beings like demons and dragons, wings alone are not enough for them to fly; the levitation and flight spells naturally carried within their wings are the essence of their flight.

This scene made Verin's heart sink to the bottom.

In this critical moment, his mind was racing.

"If I keep flying like this, I'll be caught up by that high-ranking leader sooner or later. And that big guy also has all sorts of powerful spells. Even if I have the Blood Armor, I'll be seriously injured if I don't die. That will be troublesome."

During the flight, Vilin recalled the underground passages he had seen on his way here.

"Those passages on both sides of the lava river are my escape route. I can go into those two or three-meter-wide passages, but this big guy can't."

"However, if I go in, this guy will definitely cast fire spells into the cave. If the passage is deep, it will be fine, but if it is shallow or narrow, I will probably be roasted alive if I am blocked for a moment."

With his gaze sweeping over the occasional underground passage, Verin did not rush in.

Right now!

hum!

A huge fireball shot towards us.

With his spiritual tentacles, Vellin could feel the intense fire magic even without turning around.

boom--

The explosive fireball that struck the rock wall in front of them burst open with tremendous force.

Some lava splashed onto Valin, hissing as it landed on the blood shield.

"This is not an ordinary fireball spell, but a high-level spell called [Explosive Fireball]."

Verin looked behind him carefully for a moment, his face growing increasingly gloomy.

"We've entered the spell's range; we need to find somewhere to hide quickly."

"I remember there was an underground passage about three or four meters long around the corner. When I passed by, I went in to take a look. It wasn't shallow. That's it."

Quickly maneuver around the bend in the lava river in front of you.

A deep, three- or four-meter-deep cave came into view.

Without any hesitation, Verin rode his magic broom and decisively jumped inside.

The cave was indeed extremely deep, just as Verin had predicted.

Velin flew for two or three hundred meters without reaching the end. At this moment, a wave of air surged behind him, and the crimson flames surged into the depths of the cave like a giant fire python. The intense heat made Velin feel as if he were in a furnace.

Weilin didn't dare look back for a moment, and kept flying forward. If he paused for even a second, he would be roasted on the spot.

Moreover, the air currents were surging like a gale, and he couldn't stop them even if he wanted to.

"not good!"

While they were flying, Verin's expression changed drastically.

But then a shimmering, azure vortex appeared ahead.

It was none other than the [Underground Vortex Passage] that appeared randomly in the dungeon world.

At this point, it was too late for Verin to brake.

He crashed headfirst into the whirlpool and disappeared.

The ensuing burst of fire magic completely engulfed the passage.

A severe feeling of dizziness filled Verin's entire brain.

He could barely maintain the magic broom's levitating state.

Splash...

A few seconds later, Verin was able to breathe again after escaping the vortex.

"breathe……"

The body, like a highly efficient and precise machine, quickly relieves the dizziness.

Verin immediately looked behind him warily.

The fact that the high-ranking Blood Demon leader's fire magic did not penetrate the [Underground Vortex Gate] reassured him somewhat.

He then came to his senses and looked around at where he was.

Generally speaking, the places that the [Vortex Gate] leads to are not very good.

It's either a dangerous area or a secluded, desperate place.

Before Vilin lay an extremely wide underground valley, roughly forty or fifty meters wide. Beneath his feet was a neat stone path constructed of bricks.

On both sides are some collapsed ruins of stone houses, and among the rock walls and overgrown weeds, there are some eerie blue fluorescent moss.

Looking around, the underground ruins illuminated by glowing moss have a beautiful and magnificent feel.

"Where is this?"

Doubts arose in Verin's mind.
