Problem Girls Strategy

Compared to the areas he had visited on previous adventures, the Red Dragon Volcano seemed particularly "hospitable". Monsters of all sizes attacked him and Kael one after another, and the high temperature in the air seemed to be continuously detonating the warlike genes in their bodies.

[Prismatic Pistol] After stabbing the sword blade out from the ground to clear out a large number of fiery poisonous scorpions, Jiang Zao didn't even look at their corpses. He turned around and pulled Kailu away from here. About 300 meters in front of the left side of the two of them, a three-meter-tall monster was rushing towards them.

Although he wanted to train himself, he was not willing to waste time on such trash that could be easily dealt with.

He had thought about finding a place to dig a cave to avoid monsters before, but unfortunately, although the idea was good, the reality was cruel. There was a creature called magma worm in the Red Dragon Volcano. It lived underground and specialized in attacking creatures in the caves.

Jiang Zao had just dug the cave about two meters deep when he felt a monster attacking from under his feet. After he killed a worm as thick as his wrist with sword energy, magma slowly flowed out of its body and filled the cave, and the cave-digging plan was declared a failure.

Just when he was worrying that he would have no time to improve his magic if things continued like this, he heard a "whoosh" sound behind his head. The air was cut by something, like a sharp blade cutting silk, making a sharp and crisp sound.

The wind element lingering around his body exploded in an instant like an air cannonball. The surging air waves pushed the attacker away. Jiang Zao held the [Glorious Sword] in his hand and slashed out sword energy behind him.

"Qiang!"

The sound of metal clashing was heard, and he turned around to look at the huge red falcon flapping its wings in the air. A white scratch appeared on its metallic feathers.

"That is a sub-dragon monster unique to the Red Dragon Volcano, the Iron-Feathered Red Eagle. The feathers on its body can be shot like arrows, and it's very fast." Kael held the magic wand and hid behind the black armor. This type of monster, characterized by speed, was the most difficult type for her to deal with. She decisively gave up using magic attacks and chose to provide Jiang Zao with effective information.

"Elite monster?"

"No...it's an ordinary monster."

"Ordinary monsters can withstand the sword energy... It looks like we will have to spend a lot of time in this volcano." Jiang Zao said this while his hands did not stop attacking. The sword energy was continuously waved towards the Iron-Feathered Red Eagle, but it was easily dodged.

Originally thinking that this would be a simple hunt, the Iron-Feathered Red Eagle did not expect that the human in front of it would be more difficult to deal with than it had imagined. Although the sword energy only left white marks on its feathers, the power contained in it made it feel a dull pain. If it were not for its proud iron feathers, it would have probably died on the spot.

Just as its animal eyes were fixed on its prey, considering whether to fight or run away, its field of vision fell downwards uncontrollably.

what happened?

The Iron-Feathered Red Eagle hit the ground with a loud "bang", splashing dust. Jiang Zao walked over to it, plucked its feathers, held them in his hand and looked at them with interest. For some reason, after the death of their owner, these feathers lost their metallic color and turned into ordinary feathers.

In the time stop, the moment he held the lightsaber and pierced the monster's neck, he actually felt a strong resistance transmitted from the sword to the palm of his hand.

Could it be that all sub-dragon monsters have defensive means similar to dragon scales?

Jiang Zao decided to leave this question for later and explore it from other monsters. After putting away the body of the Iron-Feathered Red Eagle, he continued to take Kailu to look for a suitable place to camp at night.

The two searched around for an entire afternoon but still couldn't find a suitable place. It was so hot everywhere, and the hospitable monsters came to their door one after another.

During this period, they also encountered other adventure guilds. With the help of a few bags of water, Jiang Zao successfully found out how to avoid these monsters and how to sleep outdoors at night.

It turned out that the reason why the two were so popular with the monsters was because he used the wind element to dispel the heat waves. In the Red Dragon Volcano, most monsters have thermal induction and will instinctively look for things with a lower temperature than here, no matter if it is a person or a plant, as long as it is lower than the surrounding temperature, it is their favorite thing.

If you want to avoid these monsters, you can only adapt to the temperature here. If you can't bear it, use magic to cool down. Although there are things like heat-resistant potions, they are expensive and not many people buy them for exploration here.

The second option is to sleep outdoors at night. In the Red Dragon Volcano grows a special tree leaf called the Red Fragrant Fruit Leaf, which emits a special fragrance at night. This fragrance smells very ordinary to humans, but to the other monsters growing in this mountain range, it stinks so much that basically no monster wants to approach it.

If you want to camp at night, you just need to stick this half-human-high leaf into the ground, and no monsters will come to disturb you. Jiang Zao directly bought a piece of this leaf from another adventure guild with 30,000 Eris. Although it is not cost-effective to buy a leaf, the knowledge gained cannot be bought with this amount of money.

These two pieces of adventure knowledge are not mentioned in books, and only the adventure guild that has been hanging around in the Red Dragon Volcano for many years can summarize these two sets of experience to facilitate their own exploration.

Jiang Zao waved goodbye to the warrior sister who was enthusiastically teaching him all kinds of trivia, and thought of the group of orcs he met in the village. He sneered and shook his head: "If I had the same attitude as them, I wouldn't have lost my head. I wonder if they will be buried together."

"Jiang Zao, I checked it. There are no magical marks or suspicious things on it." Kailu returned the red fragrant fruit leaf to him. Seeing that he put it into the storage space without thinking, she asked anxiously: "Do you trust my judgment? After all, this is a very important matter."

"Of course I believe it. If I didn't, why would I let you check it?"

"Can..."

"Stop talking nonsense. I'm going to unlock the wind element barrier. If the heat becomes unbearable, remember to tell me."

"Um..."

Even though they were so hot that they felt like they had just been pulled out of the water, this method really worked. Compared to the previous situation where they would cry and be attacked by monsters after walking a hundred meters, now no monsters actively come to them.

At night, Jiang Zao, who had set up camp, discovered an unexpected surprise.

[Life Source] skill upgraded to Lv2.

RT, take a day off to adjust your state. After all, the next plot can be said to be the most difficult battle part. By the way, take a look at the material of the show, and give a shout out to the maze fans!

(:3[▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓](:3[▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓](:3[▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓](:3[▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓](:3[▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓]

Chapter 308 Familiar Stranger

Jiang Zao was not clear about the specific reason for the skill upgrade. Perhaps it was the result of intensive use of [Blade of Resurrection] some time ago, or it might be the result of using the power of life to eliminate mental fatigue.

In short, the skill [Source of Life] has been upgraded to Lv2.

The benefit of leveling up is that his ability to sustain combat becomes stronger, and the sword energy released when wearing [Elemental Armor] is almost free of consumption. There is another point that Jiang Zao himself does not know, which is that now as long as you stand within one meter of him, you will feel much clearer in mind, and physical fatigue is gradually disappearing.

Smelling the refreshing scent of the red fragrant fruit leaves, which was similar to a mixture of rosemary and mint, Jiang Zao took the Iron-Feathered Red Eagle out of the storage space and stared at it in a daze.

He had no idea whether this monster could be eaten, but he subconsciously felt that since the name contained the word "eagle", it must be a bird. Since they were all bird creatures, they must be related to its distant cousin "chicken", a domestic animal. With this relationship, it was natural that its meat could be eaten.

The relevant books did not record in detail how many kinds of edible monsters there were in the Red Dragon Volcano. They only roughly recorded that "this is a paradise for meat lovers." This was probably because there were too many edible species to list.

With the idea of ​​figuring it out before eating, Jiang Zao cut off one of the wings of the Iron-Feathered Red Eagle, controlled the fire element to burn the feathers clean, then made a few cuts on it, sprinkled some seasonings on it, and roasted it over the fire.

In a sense, what he is doing now is to train his ability to control the elements meticulously. It is a very difficult process to ensure that all the roots of the feathers and skin are burned clean without affecting the bird's wings themselves.

Due to the high temperature and the roasting flames, the bird's wings soon dripped with golden fat with a meaty aroma from the cuts in the wings, mixed with seasonings and continuously dripped into the fire.

"Goo~"

Kailu blushed and turned her head away from the tempting grilled bird wings. From her snow-white neck, one could see that she was secretly swallowing her saliva, and her fingers were nervously twisting around each other.

Considering that she performed really well today, with good timing in releasing magic and accurate judgment of the battle situation, it is not excessive to reward her with a roasted bird wing.

Jiang Zao cut off a small piece of meat and put it into his mouth. He first put the meat on his tongue for ten seconds. If he didn't feel numbness or pain, it meant that the food was most likely not poisonous. Then he handed the bird wing to her and said, "You did a good job today. This meat is edible. You can eat it first."

"Are you really going to give it to me?" Kailu widened her eyes in disbelief. From the moment she left the house, she had prepared herself to be used as a prop. No matter what Jiang Zao did to her, she would not have any complaints. However, his attitude was completely different from what she had imagined, even so good that it made her nose sore.

"It's just food. I won't deny you this little bit of food."

"But...but I am..." Kailu stared at his sky-blue eyes. She could not see any negative emotions in them. He was just staring at her. She moved her lips twice and said with difficulty what had been weighing on her heart: "I am a traitor..."

"Alas... I didn't really want to discuss this topic with you, but you brought it up..." Jiang Zao forcefully pushed the food into her hands, and while processing the remaining meat of the Iron Feathered Red Eagle, he said, "For now, it is unlikely that I can directly treat you as a traitor."

"why?"

"Because it was Kokoro who made the decision, not me. Secondly, the memory wiped by the mastermind behind you means that you are also a pawn used by him. If I really want to settle the score, I still have to find him."

"More importantly, I don't want to lose a helper who helped me wake up Kokoro for no reason. As for the relationship between us now, just treat it as a stranger you just met. This way, everyone will feel more relaxed."

Jiang Zao felt a little dry in the mouth after saying this series of words. He took out a cup full of Coke from the storage space and took two sips. However, he found that the Coke turned into pure sugar water under such high temperature, and he immediately lost all interest.

"By the way, do you carry the amulet with you?"

"Yes, I brought it with me."

"This thing can detect the aura of the mastermind. You must carry it with you to prevent it from doing something to you. I can respond in time."

He didn't mention protection and teleportation at all...

Kael placed the amulet in the pocket close to her chest. For some reason, she subconsciously felt that there should be more valuable items in this pocket. Unfortunately, it was empty now and could only be used to store the amulet.

"By the way, do you know teleportation magic?" Jiang Zao suddenly remembered the Red Demon Clan's teleportation magic. It just so happened that he wanted to improve the current magic to see if he could create a similar effect.

"I'm not a great magician yet, so I can't learn teleportation magic."

"Then do you know anything about teleportation magic?"

"Well, teleportation magic is a mixture of light, thunder, and wind elements to create a special substance called 'spatial positioning anchor point'. After creating this substance, you can use the anchor point to send yourself to a designated place."

“How should we do it?”

"I don't know about that. Even great magicians rarely successfully learn teleportation magic, except for the Crimson Demons."

"After all, I have to learn all three types of magic, which is not a difficult task for me. But I can't learn without knowing the specific process and reference."

Jiang Zao had no choice but to put the research on teleportation magic aside for later. The most important thing now was of course to eat!

The chicken of the Iron-Feathered Red Eagle... No, it was the bird meat that tasted similar to chicken, but with an extra aroma of pepper. He was very sure that he did not add any relevant seasonings. This kind of meat with its own special aroma tasted very appetizing. Jiang Zao gnawed half of its body in no time, leaving only the skeleton.

Kailu bit the bird wing in small bites, and his speed was no less than Jiang Zao. He also forced the other bird wing into his body, and kept shouting something like "You need to be full to have the strength to work."

She knew in her heart that he actually still treated her as a companion, and this kind of talk was just an excuse to force food into her hands.

After this simple dinner, Kailu took the initiative to propose to Jiang Zao: "Let me be the one keeping watch today!"

"No need." He waved his hand and set up several elemental barriers. "Just go to sleep and get enough rest. I want to go deeper tomorrow. The monsters in this area are not up to the standard of training."

He was not bragging. Once the time stop was activated, almost no monsters nearby could withstand the attack of his [Glorious Sword]. The Iron-Winged Red Eagle died from the combination of time stop and stab.

Chapter 309: Kailu, Times Have Changed

Regarding the optimization direction of ancient magic, Jiang Zao was a little undecided at first. Should he go in the direction of creating more elemental fusion and more powerful magic, or improve the existing magic.

Both have their advantages. When creating new magic, you can design it according to current needs, and when improving old magic, you don't have to worry about stability and applicability.

After hesitating for a while, he decided to take them all.

Because he got inspiration from the creation of [Elemental Arms], his basic magic theory is definitely not as good as the magicians on the mainland. If he wants to improve magic according to their steps, he will only lock himself in a small room called "Mind Cage".

For Jiang Zao, in addition to magic, modern technological weapons are equally exciting. He happens to have a lot of experience with firearms, so why not combine the two? The ancient magicians paid the most attention to creativity, and this idea undoubtedly fits perfectly with the principle of "creativity first".

After having the initial idea, the next step is to put it into action.

The convenience of ancient magicians casting spells lies in the fact that there is no need for tedious guidance and control of magic power and elements, take the simple fireball spell as an example.

If modern magicians on the continent of Astraea want to cast a fireball, they must use magic to guide the elements to construct the most basic spell framework, while chanting to ensure communication with the elements, and then gradually input magic to complete the entire spell. This is why modern magic can be learned as long as one has elemental talent.

All you have to do is remember the fixed routes and spells and follow them in order to release the magic. It's no different from reading the entire text and reciting it.

As for the ancient magicians, if they wanted to release the fireball, they would control the fire element to gather together. With a clear understanding of the fireball technique in their minds, they could release the magic.

Jiang Zao always has a sense of déjà vu during this spellcasting process, like "the power of my thinking". If I think it can work, then it really works. It is a very idealistic approach.

But this does not mean that as long as your imagination is big enough, you can create any magic. At least you need to have enough basic theoretical knowledge as a foundation. It is still far from the orcs' wish come true.

Otherwise, the ancient magician would probably have to change his name to the Green Boy.

In short, with this idea in mind, Jiang Zao's first improved magic appeared in his hands.

It was a completely black Desert Eagle pistol with a lightning logo printed on it. The magic attacks were loaded into the magazine in the form of bullets. This was a small improvement he made to [Dark Eclipse Thunder].

As the saying goes, a gun is fast at seven steps away, and it is both accurate and fast within seven steps.

Compared to the release method with obvious magic fluctuations, after being transformed into a pistol, [Dark Corrosion Thunder] becomes a must-have item for home travel, murder, arson and shooting. Although it is a bit troublesome to reload after firing seven shots, with Jiang Zao's current skill level, it is difficult to design it with infinite bullets.

But he thought it was a very good improvement as it ensured power while being difficult to detect.

Which specific attack method to use still has to be determined according to the actual situation. If you want to resolve the battle quickly and quietly, then choose [Dark Eclipse Thunder Pistol]. If you want continuous attacks, then use the original version. Flexible tactics are the key to victory.

The next day, Jiang Zao took his pistol and began to advance in the Red Dragon Volcano while hunting monsters. Because there were no magical fluctuations and he could amplify the power of the bullets he shot, basically every time he raised his pistol, a monster would be killed by the black lightning.

Kailu stared at the pistol with curiosity in her eyes, but did not ask any questions. She thought she was not worthy of knowing these things.

Jiang Zao had no scruples. He turned the gun in his hand and introduced it to her: "This is an improved form of magic. There is no magic fluctuation, but there will be sound. The range is 200 meters, and it can fire seven spells in a short period of time."

"Very impressive..."

"It's OK. It's just the most basic version at the moment. There were originally better designs, but with my current abilities, I can't do it for now."

Holding a gun in one hand and a sword in the other, it is getting closer and closer to the image of Tenno hamster in my memory. Maybe if I get a spear and a musket, I can also COS the Ashina Swordmaster.

"Kailu, times have changed." Jiang Zao left her with a confusing remark and continued to move forward.

Although Kailu didn't understand what he meant, she knew what he was teasing based on her fragmentary memory. She held the magic wand firmly and followed in small steps.

......

A stone rolled down the slope into the cave, but before it reached the center, the high temperature immediately turned it into a bright gem, which then turned into liquid and flowed into the magma pool below.

A gigantic creature covered in black scales was sleeping soundly in the center of the magma pool. The breath from its nostrils was like a high-temperature blowtorch, and anything that came close would become part of the magma.

Its name is "Lightxi", and it is the mutant red dragon king who reigns over the Red Dragon Volcano.

When it was born, it was ridiculed because of its black scales that were different from those of its tribesmen. It even ran out to live on its own without spending its young dragon stage on Dragon Island. The black scales provided it with powerful physical strength and terrifying defense, allowing it to safely pass through the young dragon stage and transform into a young red dragon.

Returning to Dragon Island again, it used its strong body to beat up those who had once laughed at it, then walked away, and took the initiative to sever all ties with its hometown.

As for its parents, if such existence existed when it was born, it probably would not have been laughed at by its own kind and left Dragon Island.

After Lighthi found a place that he liked and slept there, he woke up and found that the surroundings had become his favorite environment, so he decided to live here permanently.

Not long after, a group of red dragons found it with a letter from the dragon elder. The letter clearly stated that according to the prophecy, if it continued to stay in this place, it would be killed by a human in the future, so it should quickly return to Dragon Island.
