Is the closed beta test of King of Loque over? The official release is here!

[Congratulations to Mage Mo Fan for successfully completing the Fire Avoidance Spell training mission!]

[Congratulations to magician Mo Fan for successfully mastering the magic – Fire Avoidance Spell!]

The moment the notification sound ended, a dazzling red halo slowly rose from beneath Mo Fan's feet.

Enveloping his entire body from top to bottom, the essence of fire element that had previously been integrated into his body was completely condensed and transformed at this moment, becoming a unique fire-avoidance magic, imprinted on his body.

[Additional Note: All the lava fireballs defeated by the Fire Dance Dragon beyond the quest requirements have been converted into pet experience points!]

At the same time, the Fire Dragon in the sky was surrounded by starlight, and the upgraded halo enveloped its body. It excitedly let out a clear cry, swooped down from the sky, and landed in front of Mo Fan, waving its arms and legs, looking extremely happy.

[Fire Dance Dragon Level: 15 → 16]

Mo Fan looked at the panel prompts with delight in his eyes.

Feng Ling'er only mentioned that defeating more fireballs would have additional benefits, but didn't go into details. Unexpectedly, it was directly converted into pet experience, and even allowed the Fire Dance Dragon to level up. This was undoubtedly an unexpected surprise.

But the surprises didn't end there; the panel beeped again:

[Additional Note: The fire magic essence absorbed by the mage beyond the quest requirements has been converted into the mage's fire elemental talent!]

Mo Fan's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately opened his character panel to examine it carefully:

【Mo Fan】

[Mage Level: LV1 (10/20)]

[Mastered Magic: Fire Avoidance]

[Mage Talent: ??? (Awakened, currently unavailable due to version limitations)]

[Elemental Talent: ??? (Activated, but unavailable due to version limitations)]

A new Elemental Talents section has reappeared at the bottom of the personal panel.

Even though it was temporarily unavailable, Mo Fan was overjoyed.

Even these tasks, as expected, contain hidden perks.

The task description makes no mention of any reward for exceeding the target, and this task can only be completed once.

If you only barely meet the standard, you will miss out on these benefits.

"I've mastered the fire avoidance technique. Next, we'll enter the Vesuvius crust." Mo Fan withdrew his gaze and looked at the bottomless crater of the volcano with its churning lava, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

He slowly mobilized the fire-avoidance magic he had just learned. A pale red aura of magic instantly enveloped his entire body, forming a thin magical barrier that isolated him from the scorching heat emanating from the surroundings.

"Is this the power of the fire-avoidance technique? I wonder if it can truly withstand the high temperature of the magma." Mo Fan muttered to himself. Without much hesitation, he took a deep breath, leaped into the crater.

His body flashed with intense light, and scalding magma pressed in, but it was firmly blocked by the fire-avoidance barrier on his body, and it did not harm him in the slightest.

In a short while, the lava scene before him disappeared, and Mo Fan landed steadily in a completely new space.

The surrounding area is a reddish rock wall, and the rough rocks still bear the marks of high temperatures.

The entire space is divided into two levels. The upper level is a suspended stone bridge that winds downwards, and at the end of the bridge, a stream of molten lava flows down from above.

The path to the depths of the volcano is blocked, and several huge rocks stand silently at the source of the lava.

Mo Fan looked around and found that there was no machine in the game that could freeze lava, nor the Power Ape blocking the entrance from the crust to the mantle.

On the other hand, in the open space below, I saw two pets of different shapes and sizes, lazily staying in the same spot.

One of them is a pet bird.

It had a strange appearance, a gaunt face, and looked like a vulture.

The outer edge of its eye sockets was wrapped in black feathers, like a swollen bruise. Its eyelids drooped halfway, and it looked listless. Its feathers were mainly red and yellow.

Its claws are thick and powerful, and its head is topped with a miniature volcano-like protrusion that emits a faint glow.

[Pet: Silly Firebird]

[Attributes: Fire, Earth]

[Level: 11-15]

The other pet is even more unusual.

Its body resembles that of a monkey, but its limbs have white claws like those of a groundhog. It wears a hat on its head that looks like it's made of hair, and a wisp of white hair trails behind it. Its eyes are narrowed into slits, making it look extremely lazy, much like a sloth.

[Pet: White-haired Lazy Person]

【Attribute: Normal】

[Level: 16-18]

Upon seeing the white-haired lazy man, a strange light flashed in Mo Fan's eyes.

He clearly remembered that this pet seemed inconspicuous, a common scene pet that was not difficult to capture. Its initial form had a base stat total of only 280, and its second evolution form had a base stat total of just over 400.

However, once it evolves into its final form, Sleepy King, its base stats skyrocket to 670.

These base stats are something that even many pets struggle to achieve after super evolution.

Although Sleepy King's magic defense stat is only 65, making it extremely weak against magic attacks, its extremely high overall stats are enough to make up for this deficiency, making it a truly powerful late-game pet.

The Firebird on the side wasn't too bad either. As a fire and earth dual-type pet, although its base stats weren't top-tier, it possessed a variety of extremely powerful earth-type skills.

At level 67, you can learn the ultimate skill Mountain Collapse, which can instantly kill low-level pets.

However, the hit rate is low, and it is ineffective against pets of the same or higher level.

It is extremely useful in the early stages of exploration, and although it becomes slightly less effective in the later stages due to limitations in its racial stats, it is still a good choice for combat power.

"The White-Haired Lazybones' physical attack stat isn't low either. If Zhao Mingyuan catches one, then there might be a chance to pass the Wood Bean Trial in the Sofia Grassland," Mo Fan thought to himself.

He himself loved collecting pets and naturally wanted to tame a white-haired lazy man, but when he touched his empty pockets, he realized that he didn't even have a single Gulu Ball at the moment, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

There is currently no way to obtain the Gulu Ball.

"It seems the only option is to find an opportunity to trade with someone using something like Lockheed Martin." Mo Fan pondered to himself, then shook his head.

Nowadays, Gulu Balls are a scarce resource. Those in the hands of ordinary people have probably already been bought up at high prices by major forces. It would be extremely difficult for ordinary people to buy them from major forces.

Suppressing his collecting urge, Mo Fan's eyes sharpened as he looked at the two pets in front of him. Now was the perfect time to level up and increase his combat power.

He turned to look at the Fire Dragon beside him and said firmly, "Fire Dragon, prepare for battle, let's start leveling up!"

Chapter 39 Skill Stone - Burning Eyebrows

Vesuvius crust.

Mo Fan began to command the Fire Dragon in battle.

However, Fire Dance Dragon has already reached level sixteen, and it's really not easy to improve to this level through pure battles.

Even after exhausting all its PP, Fire Dance Dragon still couldn't reach level 17.

Next up was the Oasis Mammoth. Mo Fan commanded it to fight the Foolish Firebird.

The Firebird is a Fire/Earth type, while the Oasis Mammoth is a Grass type.

Grass-type moves are strong against Ground-type moves, but weak against Fire-type moves. This means that when Oasis Mammoth's Grass-type moves hit Slowbro, they are neither resisted nor do they have a super-effective effect.

Fortunately, the Oasis Mammoth possesses the powerful drain skill, making its endurance truly outstanding.

After a fierce battle, the oasis mammoth's level increased from level eleven to level twelve.

Next up was the Fire-Eyed Lizard.

The Fire-type Lizard's Rock-type moves are undoubtedly effective against Fire-type Pokémon.

Unfortunately, the Earth-type attribute of the Firebird negates this.

The other white-haired lazy person is of the normal type.

While Rock-type moves are not super effective against Normal-type moves, they are resistant to Normal-type moves.

However, the Fire-Eyed Lizard is only level seven, making it extremely difficult for it to fight the White-Haired Lazy Man.

But this didn't stump Mo Fan—he could simply return to the volcano map and battle the Kelpie.

Nowadays, a level 7 Fire-Eyed Lizard can easily defeat level 1 to 5 Collared Chickens.

Surprisingly, Firespur's Rock-type moves are super effective against Clinkz's Fire-type moves, and Clinkz's Normal-type Tackle can be countered by Firespur's Rock-type moves.

And so, the Fire-Eyed Lizard's leveling speed increased rapidly.

This time, the Fire-Eyed Lizard actually leveled up to level ten.

After reaching level 10, the Fire-Eyed Lizard still ranked last among the four pets, but its big eyes became even more handsome and captivating.

Finally, it was Shui Lanlan's turn.

Compared to the other three pets, Aqua Blue's upgrade process is quite different.

As a fire and earth type pet, the Firebird is severely countered by the water type Water Blue – it is four times weaker.

Basically, one Water-type move, Water Blue, is enough to defeat Slowpoke.

Furthermore, Bubble Spell has a PP value of 30, making it virtually invincible against Slowbro.

The experience points are increasing at an alarming rate.

And so, Shui Lanlan rose from level eleven to level thirteen.

[Shui Lanlan learns a new skill: Water Divine Gun]

[Water Spear, Water-type magic, Power 40, PP 25, deals significant damage to the opponent.]

After learning Water Spear, Water Blue will have more PP available for its Water-type moves.

Therefore, level 13 is not the peak of this leveling journey.

Using the skills Bubble Technique and Water Spear, Shui Lanlan actually leveled up to level 15.

[Shui Lanlan learns a new skill: Fierce Bite]

[Bite, Dark-type physical attack, power 60, PP 25, 30% chance to inflict fear on the opponent.]

……

Meanwhile, various external forces are also taking action.

As major powers have begun to transform and form their own magician guilds, Yunhai City is not willing to lag behind.
