Although the volcano has lost its previous brilliance after the eruption, the dark red lava is still flowing freely, clearly not yet fully cooled down.

Wearing a mask, Gu Xi looked down at the land beneath her feet. She was now very glad that she had chosen to fly instead of walk, otherwise stepping on this lava might have really killed her.

[Game Tip: Due to the high concentration of poisonous gas here, your mask's usability time has been greatly reduced.]

Just as Gu Xi was deep in thought, considering how to explore further, the game's notification sound suddenly broke her reverie. She immediately checked the mask's usage time.

Originally, the gas mask started its countdown the moment she put it on, but now the countdown is flashing red continuously, and the usage time is rapidly passing.

Gu Xi dared not delay any longer and began searching for useful resources.

The ground was either dark or glowing with the dark red light of lava. Gu Xi searched around but found nothing of value.

Suddenly, the different points of light in the dark red magma caught her attention.

These lights are hidden beneath the dark red lava, with only occasional glimpses exposed.

Gu Xi felt they looked somewhat familiar, and then an idea flashed through her mind. Using object manipulation, she brought the special items from the magma to herself.

Upon hearing the broadcast, she was taken aback; she never expected that a volcanic eruption could spew out fire elemental essence.

After a few seconds of stunned silence, she instantly became excited.

Fire elemental essence is a valuable resource. Aside from cooking and boiling water, her smelting workshop hasn't even started construction yet due to a lack of energy!

Besides, water elemental essence of the same level is the core material for crafting water elemental cannons. Weapons made from it are extremely powerful, so fire elemental essence must be just as good.

Thinking of this, she was filled with excitement. She immediately put the Fire Elemental Essence into her backpack.

Now that she had a direction, she used the spikes to pry open the magma and search for the hidden fire elemental essence.

She absolutely couldn't miss this golden opportunity to gather fire elemental essence like picking up stones.

And it doesn't matter if there's a lot of it, she has storage boxes made of ember crystals, which can hold even a lot of fire elemental essence.

Gu Xi skillfully manipulated the magma, revealing individual fire elementals within. She used her manipulation abilities to collect them. In just half an hour, she had collected 17 fire elementals.

Such a generous harvest made Gu Xi grin from ear to ear.

However, as time went on, the game reminded her again that her gas mask's time limit was approaching.

Should we leave or not? Gu Xi hesitated, looking at the fire elemental essence in the magma. After all, such a good opportunity was rare.

But if she doesn't leave, she might get poisoned.

Hesitantly, she decided to take one last gamble. She used all her spikes to lift up the lava below, quickly put away her tools, and then swiftly picked out the fire elemental essence inside.

However, at that moment, something unexpected happened. The mask on her face suddenly shattered with a crisp sound, then turned into countless pieces of wood dust, scattering above the scorching lava.

Gu Xi didn't dare to delay and quickly put away the Fire Essence, manipulating the spikes to retreat from the volcanic island.

Just then, the game notification sounded again.
