"How about it, want to go on an adventure with us?" Caitlin looked at Jinshia beside her. Compared to the other girls, Luo Fan still felt that this blonde girl was more mature.
Kimia shook her head and declined Caitlin's invitation.
“My purpose in coming in was to find an opportunity for a breakthrough. Now that I’ve achieved that goal, I won’t stay in there for long. Besides, the further in I go, the less safe it becomes.”
"Aren't you going to search for the Fountain of Life?"
"No, even if I got them, I couldn't take them back. These mineral deposits are enough for me. By the way, does anyone else know about his ability?"
“Very few people know; it’s mostly people close to him. That guy is very shrewd and has always kept it well hidden.” Caitlin sighed, not expecting they would be parting ways so soon.
“No wonder I’ve never heard of this before. I think I’ve heard of a secret technique similar to transferring inscriptions, except that it involves adding special patterns to weapons to greatly improve their performance.” Jin Xiya recalled the information she had heard before, when suddenly Luo Fan’s voice interrupted.
"Have you seen this dagger before?" Luo Fan took out the well-preserved dagger and placed it in Jin Xiya's hand.
"The God-Slaying Dagger! Where did you get it?" Looking at this unusual weapon, she quickly recognized it.
Caitlin also came over and looked her over carefully, but didn't find anything too unusual.
"Someone tried to use it to kill Caitlin before, but I blocked it. God-Slaying Dagger, that's quite a powerful name."
Upon hearing this, Jin Xiya curiously examined Luo Fan for a while. Apart from discovering countless magic cores, she found nothing else. It was as if something was covering up his body.
"Of course, this thing is very lethal. Even a Saint Magister could be killed if he's not careful. You must have used something very sturdy to block it."
As she spoke, she carefully examined the patterns on the weapon, which were faintly visible. Much of the special energy on it had been consumed, but the dark blade still carried a potent poison.
"Hmm, it was only blocked by using a hovering stone. Who do you think has the capability to forge such a weapon?"
"The Fisher Empire has an organization that specializes in researching these special weapons, so this must be the result of those people. These patterns were probably added later on; the Heifel Empire has this kind of secret technique."
After Jin Xiya finished explaining, she returned the weapon to Luo Fan. The two girls then went into the tent to exchange more information.
As for Luo Fan, with Jin Xia's consent, he returned to Xi'er's pet space with her.
Jinshia was speechless at the slime's various amazing abilities; she really didn't know how Airi had raised it.
For the next two days, the group didn't set off; instead, they gathered together to forge equipment. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ellie and the others had their staffs modified. With Jinshia personally helping them fine-tune their weapons, the magic transmission efficiency of the staffs was increased by several times.
Luo Fan paid for some rare materials and also obtained several high-level daggers from Jin Xiya.
After everything was finished, it was time to say goodbye. Luo Fan hugged Jin Xiya for a while before leading everyone on their way.
At this moment, the girls were all covered in soft scale armor, a final gift from those people.
As Caitlin and her group walked away, the guards beside Jinshia approached.
"Miss, what do we do next?"
"Let's continue exploring for minerals here. Once we've collected enough, let's leave. We've already achieved our objective; staying any longer would only be dangerous."
"OK!"
Amazing slime, when will you come to find me? I'm really looking forward to it!
In just three days, her Seele had been won over by that slime. During their recent parting, she sensed her pet's intense reluctance to leave.
That bastard, could he be trying to kidnap his Seele?
Luo Fan had no idea what Jin Xiya was thinking. He helped her as much as he could, and even took the initiative to guide her to several mines and clear out the magical beasts there.
But that last hug... the girl's figure was really great; it's a shame we didn't stay together longer. My dear Seele, I'll definitely come find you someday.
After walking for a long time, the scene changed again, and we arrived at the grassland environment.
It's called a grassland, but the wild grass grows taller than Freya, about two or three meters tall, it's practically a green ocean.
Sitting on the back of Xuanwu, enjoying the ocean view, was quite pleasant.
“Lofan, the communication stone of a spy has lit up!” Caitlin whispered, telling him what she knew.
"So, a hostile force has appeared?" Upon hearing this news, Luo Fan immediately created a fireball clone and quickly spread his divine sense.
Sure enough, about a hundred miles away, a group of people were spotted cautiously probing the surrounding space as they moved toward them.
They're earth-elemental! Seeing those familiar old men, Luo Fan immediately understood. This was getting interesting. More than twenty archmages—this family's foundation was quite impressive.
At this moment, they were carrying some kind of receiving device, walking around and confirming the location of the transmission.
"They're quite clever. They even know to use dust to confirm the spatial barrier in the sky. Should I go and tease them first?"
"Can you manage on your own? Why don't you bring Freya along too?"
Seeing Freya studying her pet, Luo Fan refused. Ever since figuring out the magic circuits of Fire Rain, she had been studying her Thunderbird tirelessly, day and night.
If we were to take her there now, she'd probably just be sent to be eaten; she's clearly exhausted right now.
"Forget about her, there are only about twenty archmages on the other side. I'll be right back."
After saying that, he returned to Ellie's pet space and disappeared from Caitlin's sight.
"This guy is getting more and more powerful. He doesn't even respect the Archmage anymore!" Caitlin shook her head helplessly, walked to Xianxian's side, and also entered into meditation.
If she keeps drifting like this, she'll soon be at the bottom of the class; she needs to make the most of her time.
The earth-elemental family was extremely excited upon learning of their target's arrival. They were thrilled to hear that their opponents consisted of only about ten mages, accompanied by a wild earth bear and many beautiful women.
Although they are princesses of the empire, this is a secret realm. As long as they are not allowed to leave, there will be no problem.
Besides, they weren't originally part of the Saint Sisca Empire. If they actually killed the princess, they would actually gain merit. Moreover, with a great war about to break out, eliminating this force would surely win the favor of their backer.
Those old men leading the team were all at the peak of the 9th level of Archmage, so they weren't worried about losing at all.
Without the suppression of the Grand Magister, they are the strongest in the secret realm.
"Boss, your chance has come!"
"Third brother, get ready. We'll continue deeper after we've tamed that earth bear."
"Alright, alright. What should we do with those women? That girl named Ellie dared to talk back to us, we need to teach her a lesson." A bald old man said lewdly.
"That princess must have some high-level scrolls on her, so it's best to be careful."
"I know, so what if it's a forbidden spell? It's not like we can't stop it. Earth magic is very convenient in the grassland environment."
"Once we deplete their fighting strength, we can do whatever we want!"
Several old men stood on a giant tortoise, laughing heartily.
