The white deer pressed its lips.

Looking at this scene, she murmured, "Throwing a sentient stone into a furnace to burn... I feel like I've seen this scene somewhere before."

After hearing what Bai Lu said, the brave and fearless man scratched his head and said, "Now that you mention it, it sounds kind of familiar to me too."

"A stone that has become a spirit."

"Well……"

Lu Cang: "Are you looking for Journey to the West?"

Bai Lu looked at Lu Cang, blinked, and said, "Is this something I can say?"

"What's there to be afraid of? The author won't sue us for copyright infringement."

"Instead of this, the instance has disappeared, so we can leave."

The white deer looked back.

As expected, the dungeon entrance has disappeared.

This instance has been transformed into ordinary open-world terrain.

Instead of being a copy of an independent world.

There's a significant difference between dungeons and the open world.

For example, Leng Qingying's phantom clones cannot be placed outside the dungeon, nor can the clones enter the dungeon on their own.

Furthermore...

Skills like White Deer's devastating earthquake, when used inside the dungeon, will not affect the outside environment.

It will only affect the space inside the instance.

"Come back later."

"It will probably take some more time to refine."

After saying that, Lu Cang turned and walked away.

The group followed behind Lu Cang.

Not long after, they returned to the mayor's house, where the man with the white beard stood.

Lu Cang and the others handed over the task.

"You...you...you really killed that evil black...black dragon!"

His tone was full of shock.

"It...it has occupied our Volcano Clan's adamantite furnace for decades."

"I thought... I thought... no warrior could ever defeat it..."

"Weren't they called the Coal Clan? How did they become the Volcano Clan?" Braveheart complained in the team voice chat.

Bai Lu: "I guess they themselves feel that calling them the 'coal ball clan' is kind of weird."

Leng Qingying: "Actually, calling him Coal Ball is quite cute."

After hearing the town mayor's shocked remarks several times.

Mayor Coalball then gave everyone a badge.

“This…this is the token of our Volcano Clan, and also proof that you killed the Black Dragon.”

"Any city in the vicinity that sees this token will know that you are heroes who slew the black dragon."

It's rare for the town mayor to finish a sentence without stuttering.

Lu Cang and the others accepted the token.

"Oh, we have another teammate, so we need five of these tokens."

"Yes, yes, I remember you came in groups of five." The mayor realized and added another badge.

The fearless warrior was somewhat shocked: "This works?"

"Why not?"

After completing their mission, Lu Cang and the others left the mayor's house.

However, the mayor's loudspeaker had already announced the matter to all the coal miners in the town.

For a time, the whole town was talking about this.

"What?"

"The Black Dragon has been defeated!"

"A brave warrior has slain the Black Dragon!"

The brave man walked fearlessly down the street and heard the coal lumps around him whispering amongst themselves.

Soldiers improve their overall capabilities.

The brave and fearless man clearly felt that his hearing had improved significantly.

"Who are these adventurers?"

"Their strength must be unfathomable to have been able to defeat that legendary black dragon."

"I heard that only five adventurers went to fight it, and the five of them defeated the black dragon. That's terrifying."

"Could they be the legendary team of heroes?"

"They look like a few humans. Could it be that the human race is about to rise to power?"

"In my opinion, those human adventurers have the potential to become gods. They might even become god-level beings in the future."

Hearing their discussion, the fearless warrior exclaimed, "It really sounds like a passerby in a fantasy novel being shocked."

White Deer: "Aren't they just passersby?"

Brave and Fearless: "Yeah, but this feeling is really nice."

The fearless man walked down the street with his back to the ground, looking completely at ease.

After completing the mission, the group received authorization to use the adamantite furnace.

Using the Adamantite Forge to forge equipment will consume fewer materials, requiring only 70% of the enhancement stones originally needed for enhancement.

At the same time, the adamantite furnace can forge equipment made of adamantite.

It can also convert equipment that was not originally made of fine gold into fine gold.

Refined gold is extremely hard.

Furthermore, it is completely immune to fire elements, making it an excellent defensive material for countering fire attacks.

Of course, this requires consuming the material refined gold to transform the equipment into the same material.

Otherwise, it cannot be transformed out of thin air.

The haul from this trip to Moka Volcano can be described as a windfall.

That unique item that prevents equipment from losing levels or breaking is enough to make an ordinary player a fortune.

The simplest way to make money is to upgrade other people's equipment.

Just charge a handling fee and it's fine.

Putting everything else aside, just the guarantee that the upgrade won't result in a level drop or breakage upon failure is enough to make countless players scramble to buy it.

At the very least, the big guilds definitely want it.

Of course, Lu Cang had no intention of selling.

This essence can only be lent to someone you absolutely trust.

"Once the stone has finished refining itself, we'll go and enhance our weapons."

"A +5 weapon is much stronger than a +4 weapon."

"How much is 'not a little'?" the fearless warrior asked, puzzled.

"It's more than the bonus you get from upgrading a weapon from +0 to +4."

After upgrading the equipment to a higher level.

Each enhancement level represents a significant boost.

A +6 enhancement level is three times the total enhancement level from +0 to +5.

This is not only reflected in attribute enhancement.

The effects of equipment will also evolve accordingly.

[Player: Lu Cang has completed the map - Moka Volcano teleportation quest]

The Moka Volcano teleportation portal is now activated.

The reward for this mission is not just the right to use the Adamantite Forge.

The teleportation array at Moka Volcano was also activated by Lu Cang and the others. The maximum teleportation distance of an ordinary teleportation array is 10,000 kilometers.

It is impossible to teleport to the other three starting cities.

However, teleporting to Xilong and Fenghua would be more than enough for both cities.

Similarly, players from Xilong and Maple City.

You can also be teleported directly over.

Being teleported here does not mean that you have already occupied the town.

This town is a neutral town.

Other races can also enter towns without being attacked by local residents.

Such towns are not uncommon in the Fantasy World, and players will encounter more and more mixed-race city-states in the future.

Currently, Mount Moka is located in the advanced zone on the map, specifically a level 60 area.

Although the teleportation array was activated, there was nothing the human players could do upon arrival.

At most, you can just enjoy the scenery.

Trying to level up here is just asking for death.

After the teleportation array was activated, traveling back and forth became much more convenient.

Leng Qingying didn't intend to wait idly, so she used the teleportation array to return to Maple City.

Go to the arena to hone your skills.

I had a lot of insights from the previous battle with Fiery Fang, but I haven't had a chance to process them yet.

Lu Cang, having caught the fearless warrior, also returned to the city.

He honed his combat skills with him.

"Boss, didn't you say you wouldn't be returning to Maple City for a while?"

Lu Cang replied simply, "I didn't say I wouldn't come back at all. I meant there's probably not much of a chance."

"Isn't this just an occasional opportunity?"

In order for the fearless to pass the trial of merging with arrogance.

Lu Cang must elevate the skill of the fearless warrior.

The brave and fearless player actually has quite a good talent for gaming.

They learn and comprehend things much faster than the average person.

After Lu Cang taught him the basics and he continued to practice them.

His skills are already considered quite advanced in the fantasy world.

He has even reached a level comparable to some third-rate professional players.

Lu Cang learned his skills from the God of Assassination, Tish, in his third life.

Can the techniques of theology be the same as those of ordinary people?

In addition, there are valuable experiences summarized from the insights and reflections of three lifetimes.

The difference between teaching it and the lowest-ranking Yellow-level technique in a fantasy novel is like the difference between a Heaven-rank technique and a Yellow-rank technique.

It takes 10 years to practice a Yellow-level technique, but others can catch up to a Heaven-level technique in a single breath.

Lu Cang and the fearless warrior practiced for about an hour.

The brave and fearless suffer immensely from the fighting.

However, the improvement is also significant; the fearless warrior has gradually developed subconscious muscle memory in response to some attacks.

It can make the right response as quickly as possible.

The two left the arena.

Back in the lobby, I bumped into Leng Qingying, who was also standing at the door.

At this moment, Leng Qingying was wearing a nun's habit.

Lu Cang, fearless and brave, exchanged glances with Leng Qingying.

Both sides fell silent.

A blush gradually rose on Leng Qingying's face.

After making eye contact for about two seconds.

Leng Qingying immediately turned around and started a new ranking match.

I want to get out of this awful place as soon as possible.

However……

The air was unusually still.

[Ranked Match - Matching you with equally matched opponents]

There's no one left at this rank.

Leng Qingying played for an hour, only emerging after everyone else had stopped queuing.

The results had barely come out when they bumped into Lu Cang and his companion.

"Well, it looks pretty good," Lu Cang broke the awkward silence.

Leng Qingying's face turned even redder.

She just happened to buy this dress and wanted to try out this style; it's not like she likes wearing it this way!

"Stop queuing, the stones are ready, it's time to go back."
