Chapter 155 Results and Collection
Deep in the purgatory sulfur plane, at the foot of the huge active volcano, the Fire Lord's huge lava body once again fought with Jemin's short figure.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The only sounds in the air were the violent collisions and the roar of fire elements. Like a black ghost, Benjamin weaved around the Fire Lord.
More than a year has passed since Benjamin officially started practicing the "Body Strengthening Method". During this period, he would come to the Fire Lord for sparring every once in a while.
The Fire Lord's offensive continued, with lava boulders, scorching claws, and even hot fire breath spewing from his mouth. The all-round offensive from near, medium and far surrounded Jemin with great power.
But after such a long period of training, Benjamin is no longer as "fragile" as before, and even such a terrible attack cannot pose a fatal threat to him.
He clenched his fist and threw an uppercut with spiral force, hitting the Fire Lord's chin, which was made of solidified lava.
The Fire Lord's massive body was knocked back by the sheer force, and the scorched earth beneath his feet cracked open with a loud "crackling" sound.
Taking advantage of the situation, Benjamin leaped up, thrust his knees hard, and smashed down with his elbows. Each attack landed precisely on the Fire Lord's joints or the weak links in the flow of energy.
The Fire Lord let out a deafening roar, and the flames around him suddenly exploded, completely engulfing Jemin.
However, when the flames dissipated, Benjamin was standing there unharmed, his robes completely turned to ashes, revealing his skin that was red from being burned by the flames.
But it was just a reddening. After the flames died down, Benjamin's skin returned to normal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Even some of the wounds caused by the previous battle with the Fire Lord were closing from the edges inward at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Some older wounds have even grown new skin.
Even the strong smell of sulfur in the air seemed to have no effect on him at this moment.
Benjamin is still relying purely on physical strength to fight the enemy, without any witchcraft protection, so the fight is still quite difficult.
Every attack requires him to mobilize all the muscles and bones in his body, and every defense must be just right.
But he was able to fight the Fire Lord back and forth, and even had the upper hand occasionally. This all showed that his physical fitness and close combat skills had greatly improved during this period.
This combat mode has become Jieming's daily routine for more than a year.
As soon as his injuries healed, he couldn't wait to go to the Purgatory Sulfur Plane again to find the Fire Lord and undergo one training after another.
The Fire Lord also seemed to be angry at this little bug that came to harass him from time to time, and he put all his strength into it every time.
In such high-intensity, unreserved close combat, Benjamin's understanding of the "Body Building Method" became more and more profound.
He treated his body as a piece of pig iron that needed to be hammered repeatedly. Every time it was burned by flames and every time it was hit by lava, it was a tempering that went deep into his bone marrow.
This kind of training is extremely effective. In addition to physical strength and combat skills, the body's resistance to fire is also greatly enhanced.
At this moment, Jemin stood in front of the Fire Lord again. His body was completely immune to the Fire Lord's fire attack that was powerful enough to melt gold and iron.
The hot magma spewed out by the Fire Lord fell on Jemin, and it only made a "sizzling" sound, but could not cause any harm.
Even the bombardment of the Fire Lord's huge lava arm could only make him retreat a few steps, but could not cause serious injuries such as fractures.
Moreover, his self-healing recovery speed has also been greatly improved.
After suffering burns all over his body, it would have taken Benjamin ten days to recover without witchcraft.
Even now, even with such serious injuries as multiple fractures all over his body, it only takes less than an hour for his body to fully heal after leaving the battle.
"Your flames have no effect on me."
Being sprayed in the face by flames again, Benjamin shook his head and whispered to the Fire Lord.
Although he was still at a disadvantage in the battle, there was no fear in his eyes, but instead he was full of regret.
The Fire Lord obviously realized this as well. He let out an unwilling roar, his huge body began to tremble, and the energy fluctuations became somewhat chaotic.
It couldn't understand how this tiny creature before it could adapt to and become immune to its power in such a short time.
Benjamin felt the surging vitality in his body and the thick feeling of being completely adapted to the fire.
He knew that there was still a lot of room for improvement in his physical fitness.
But since the Fire Lord's flames could no longer cause him any substantial damage, continuing to fight him had lost its original meaning.
He needs stronger pressure, more challenging elemental attacks.
"Thank you for your help during this period of time." Benjamin nodded slightly to the Fire Lord, without further entanglement, and turned around to search deeper into the Purgatory Sulfur Plane.
He wanted to find other powerful creatures to see if he could increase his fire resistance.
He flew over the land of the Purgatory Sulfur Plane, searching for areas where the concentration of elements was higher than before.
The environment in this place is worse than the previous area. In addition to the smell of sulfur, the air is also mixed with a pungent smell of burning metal.
Jieming released his mental power and carefully searched every inch of land in this unknown area.
Strictly speaking, this should be the first time that Benjamin has searched his own plane so carefully.
“Huh!”
Suddenly, Benjamin uttered a light exclamation, turned around and flew downwards.
In a lava river, he saw a group of crystal fish hunting. Their bodies were made of translucent red crystals and they could swim freely in thick lava that was thousands of degrees.
Benjamin observed it for a while, reached out and pushed aside the thick metal lava, and caught a few with his bare hands.
It was discovered that their crystals contained extremely pure essence of fire element, making them excellent alchemical materials.
Most importantly…
"This feeling... is somewhat similar to what's called 'fire essence' in the world of immortal cultivation. Interesting. Perhaps I can use the same method to refine fire essence."
After marking the location of this area on his magic network terminal, Jemin left the place contentedly with a few crystal fish.
However, after this discovery, he became interested in this plane that he had not searched carefully.
In order to conduct a better search, Benjamin even purchased some "memories" of the native creatures of the Elosia plane group from the magic network.
Among them is a lot of information about the materials of the Purgatory Sulfur Plane.
Soon, through Jemin's deliberate search, he discovered a plant called "Earth Core Sulfur Flower" in a magma cave.
This flower takes root deep in the scorching rock walls. Its petals are dark purple and emit a peculiar fragrance. It can absorb sulfur and toxins escaping from deep underground, transforming them into a substance that has a slight nourishing effect on mental strength.
After finding relevant information about this flower in the memories of those native creatures, Benjamin's eyes lit up.
For the natives of the Erosia plane community, the most useful thing about this flower is of course the substance it secretes, but for wizards like Jemin, the most useful thing about this thing is the flower itself!
"They can transform poisons into beneficial substances simply by relying on the functioning of their own organs. What a waste of natural resources, these ignorant people!"
Looking through the memories of the indigenous people, Benjamin was so angry that he beat his chest and stamped his feet.
In order to collect more secretions, those guys basically crush the picked flowers directly, and no one thinks about the principle behind it.
Benjamin carefully collected some samples and placed the complete plants into a space expansion bag, preparing to cultivate and study them in the Golden Garden.
In addition, he also discovered some strange metallic minerals.
Every time Benjamin discovered one, he would collect samples and conduct preliminary analysis using alchemy. These unique materials would undoubtedly bring new inspiration to his magic weapon making and alchemy.
However, it is a pity that he did not find a more suitable person to practice with.
Although the creatures here are more powerful, the intensity of most of the fire elemental attacks they can release is similar to that of the Fire Lord.
Just when Jemin was feeling a little disappointed and was about to return to the previous area, he discovered a volcano with a special situation.
The volcanoes in the Purgatory Sulfur Plane are basically active volcanoes, and most of them even have flowing lava in their craters, emitting billowing heat waves.
But this volcano seemed dead silent.
The entire volcano appeared strangely dark, as if it had been completely drained of life by some force.
There was no lava flowing, and no trace of steam or smoke coming out of the crater, as if it were really dead.
Amidst the fiery and violent surroundings, this dead black volcano seems out of place, emitting a cold and oppressive atmosphere.
Jemin carefully landed on the outskirts of the volcano and began to perform alchemy to inspect it.
But soon, he discovered something unusual about the volcano.
The slopes of this volcano and the surrounding ground were covered with a large number of animal carcasses!
These corpses did not decay naturally, but showed signs of being torn, burned or frozen by powerful energy, obviously dying in a fierce battle.
Many bones still had traces of corrosive mucus or transparent crystals on them, proving that it wasn't just fire-attributed creatures that participated in the battle.
What surprised Benjamin even more was that he discovered that the earth vein connected to the volcano had been cut off!
Deep in the volcano, where there should have been surging scorching earth energy and active fire elements, there was now nothingness, as if something had drained away all the vitality.
This is the fundamental reason why this volcano has become a rare extinct volcano.
