As Lu Chen continued downhill, he felt the temperature rising higher and higher, to the point that it became almost unbearable.

"There's not a single person in this Crimson Flame Iron Mine?"

Lu Chen found it strange. Such a large iron mine should, in theory, be unclaimed and many people should be trying to find bargains there.

However, he flew down for a long time without encountering a single person or even any living creature, which was quite unusual.

It should be noted that most cultivators on Red Moon Star are actually quite poor, as they do not have many cultivation resources.

Crimson Iron Ore, a type of ore that can be used to forge Star-level weapons, is still highly sought after. Even if you don't forge weapons yourself, you can still exchange it for a large number of Star Stones to use for cultivation.

"Is there some danger here?"

Lu Chen carefully sensed the temperature and found that with his strength, he was fully capable of withstanding the heat of the flames here.

Star level 5 or above is sufficient.

In Red Moon Star, cultivators at the fifth level or above of the Star Realm are still plentiful.

Lu Chen became more cautious and slowed down. Finally, he reached the bottom of the mine, where scorching flames burned all around, and everything looked crimson.

At the bottom of the mine, there are obvious signs of human mining, and even a lot of Crimson Iron Ore scattered on the ground, but it is not very pure and needs to be further smelted and purified.

Lu Chen didn't stand on ceremony and put all of these things away.

"Strange, why is nobody wanting these things? Is there any danger in taking them?"

Just then, Lu Chen suddenly heard a strange noise.

It sounded like a frog croaking.

Lu Chen was startled.

"Could there be some kind of life here?"

Suddenly, Lu Chen felt a whooshing sound behind him, hurtling towards his back.

He immediately turned and dodged to the side, only to see an extremely ugly creature, resembling a toad, suddenly pounce on him, spewing flames and its long tongue sweeping towards him.

What is this?

Lu Chen was surprised. After thinking carefully, the memories in his mind told him that this was a strange monster that lived at the bottom of the mine.

It is called the Earth Fire Toad.

These fire toads love to live in scorching magma, and they have an extremely strong ability to survive and live for a long time, so they possess terrifying strength.

Based on its size, Lu Chen estimated that this Fire Toad probably possessed combat power of at least the eighth rank of the Star level.

Judging from the attack by the fire toad just now, Lu Chen was certain that if he had been even slightly careless, he would have been caught by the fire toad's tongue.

"No wonder no one comes here to pick up bargains."

Lu Chen's doubts were finally resolved. With such a monster guarding this place, anyone with slightly weaker strength would likely have perished instantly.

"Fortunately, this thing isn't very strong; we can just kill it."

Lu Chen acted decisively, his Heavenly Thunder Sword shooting out instantly, piercing through the belly of the Earth Fire Toad and going straight through from above.

The fire toad was pouncing on Lu Chen again when it was stabbed squarely by the sword. It rolled over, and his whole body seemed to be burning with scorching flames. In the blink of an eye, his injuries were completely healed.

This unbelievable scene left Lu Chen completely dumbfounded.

"This thing... has such powerful regenerative abilities?"

Lu Chen really didn't believe in superstition.

The Thunder Sword in his hand pierced back and forth continuously. The Fire Toad's attack power was terrifying, carrying scorching flames. If an ordinary person were entangled by it, their armor would probably be unable to withstand it.

But Lu Chen was not afraid.

At this moment, Lu Chen used strange footwork to dodge the attacks of the Earth Fire Toad time and time again, while the Heavenly Thunder Sword left wounds on the Earth Fire Toad's body.

However, the Fire Toad's recovery speed is astonishing; it always recovers from its injuries within a few breaths.

I refuse to believe it.

Lu Chen controlled the Heavenly Thunder Sword, unleashing combat power exceeding the eighth rank. In an instant, he chopped the earth fire into a pile of minced meat. Powerful star power instantly enveloped the pile of minced meat, directly refining it into powder.

This fire toad has finally been taken down.

Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

"If it were someone else, I'm afraid they really wouldn't have been able to withstand it."

Lu Chen cautiously surveyed his surroundings. There was definitely more than one Fire Toad, but if the one that had just been killed was the strongest, then it was nothing to worry about.

Lu Chen was terrified that a colossal creature might suddenly leap out, such as a fire toad that surpasses even the size of a galaxy.

Then I would be in danger.

Fortunately, the surroundings were quiet and nothing unusual happened. Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, carefully observed the area, and found the most suitable location for mining.

This is a depression where a huge mine has been carved out by humans. Inside this mine is the purest Crimson Flame Iron Ore.

Lu Chen showed no mercy, taking out the Heavenly Thunder Sword and slashing continuously.

"This Crimson Flame Iron Ore is really hard; even the Heavenly Thunder Sword can't do anything to it."

Lu Chen felt helpless. The Heavenly Thunder Sword was already the best weapon he had, but it could only leave faint marks when facing the Crimson Flame Iron Ore.

This means that the weapon in his hand is probably outdated.

"I refuse to believe it. If there's really no other way, I'll just forge a weapon myself first."

Lu Chen thought of the Crimson Flame Iron Ore he already possessed and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
