Chapter 43 - Mysterious Pearl
Chapter 43: Mysterious Pearl
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Crystal-like sunstones that were shimmering with a faint red light appeared in front of Lu Yuan. However, Lu Yuan did not dare to enter rashly for the time being.
This was because a fire porcupine that had mutated to the boss level was guarding the sunstone. Lu Yuan had to think of a way to get the sunstone as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the duration of his Shadow Following had passed, he would be killed by the fire porcupine boss just by being sat on!
[Fire Porcupine King]
[Level]: ???
[HP]: ???
[Skills]: ???
[Description]: ???
The fire porcupine king’s level was much higher than Lu Yuan’s, so Lu Yuan couldn’t see any information on his interface at all.
Lu Yuan quickly came to the entrance of the cave where he had entered, and cast the skill Frost Descent!
The fire porcupines guarding at the entrance were immediately hit by the skill, but they could not find their opponent, so they could only run around in all directions.
The fire porcupines let out painful wails, trying maniacally to find the person who had ambushed them at the entrance of the cave.
Soon, the boss-level fire porcupine noticed the commotion of the fire porcupines at the entrance of the cave. It immediately got up and moved its huge body towards the entrance of the cave.
Before the arrival of the fire porcupine, Lu Yuan had already sneaked back into the depths of the Cave of Fire. He quickly placed the three sunstones into his backpack.

After using Anna’s Blessing to extend the duration of Shadow Following, Lu Yuan walked deeper into the Cave of Fire and saw that the cave was filled with lava bats!
[Lava Bats] (elite)
[Level]: ???
[HP]: ???
[Skill]: ???
[Description]: A group of bats that live near the lava. They can absorb the power of lava for their own use. Their attacks contain the high temperature of lava!
“F*ck, I can’t see their levels at all. I can’t afford to offend even one of them! No wonder that old man Rogge was so generous to use such a powerful skill as a reward. If I’m not careful, this mission might even cost me my life!” Lu Yuan thought to himself. As expected, no skills in the world would be easy to obtain!
Lu Yuan immediately quickened his pace. Fortunately, Rogge had given him a detailed map of the Cave of Fire. Otherwise, Lu Yuan would not be able to find the underground lava even if he used up the duration of the Shadow Following skill.
Soon, Lu Yuan arrived where the underground lava was. The temperature here was extremely high. Even Lu Yuan’s body could not tolerate such a high temperature.
Lu Yuan took out the bottle that Rogge had given him from his backpack.
[Lava Collection Bottle]
[Description]: A bottle specially made to collect high-temperature lava. It can also be used to collect other high-temperature items.
[Introduction]: Invented by a mysterious craftsman. Mages and forgers are extremely fond of it.
After Lu Yuan took out the lava collection bottle, he placed the bottle on top of the lava. As soon as the boiling lava below met the bottle, it was automatically collected by the bottle. Soon, the lava collection bottle was filled with boiling lava.

Lu Yuan immediately put the bottle into his backpack. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, a round pearl slowly rose from the lava. The moment the pearl peeked out of the lava, a terrifyingly high temperature followed. It was as if the Sun had fallen onto the Earth and was roasting everything. Lu Yuan’s HP bar began to decrease rapidly.
Lu Yuan panicked and wanted to leave immediately, but before he could even turn around, his HP bar was already down to one-third.
“Shit! What the hell is this pearl? F*ck! Am I going to die here today?”Lu Yuan was extremely shocked. Even in his previous life, he had never heard of such a terrifying thing in this small Cave of Fire!
“Damn you, Rogge! F*ck!” Lu Yuan roared in his heart because at this moment, his HP bar was only left with a trace of HP.
At this moment, under the endless lava, a creature whose body was so huge that its entire appearance could not be seen slowly opened its eyes, and its huge vertical pupils suddenly lit up with a golden light.
With this, the terrifying pearl began to sink back into the lava, and the terrifyingly high temperature instantly disappeared.
Then, the huge creature’s eyes glanced in Lu Yuan’s direction before slowly closing, as if it was falling into a deep sleep. The terrifying pearl slowly floated on its forehead.
“Gosh, that was scary, what the hell was that! The terrifying temperature that followed the pearl almost killed me instantly!” Lu Yuan was still feeling lingering fear. He immediately took out a recovery potion from his backpack to recover his HP!
Soon, his HP was recovered. Lu Yuan immediately left. If that terrifying pearl suddenly appeared again, his little heart would not be able to take it!
Fortunately, the strange pearl had not appeared in his previous life. Otherwise, it would be a doomsday massacre for the ordinary civilians and low-level players in the real world!
Lu Yuan immediately left the Cave of Fire and met up with Rogge and Solaka.
“Haha! Kid, I didn’t expect you to get the sunstone and the underground lava so quickly. You’ve really exceeded our expectations!” Rogge looked at Lu Yuan and said with satisfaction.
“Yes, I’m very surprised too. To think you could get both in just over an hour,” Solaka said to Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan glanced at Rogge. He had almost lost his life because of this guy’s mission.
Rogge didn’t tell him that there was a terrifying spiral hidden in the depths of the underground lava, but Lu Yuan had noted it down in his heart. When he was strong enough, he would go back to investigate!
At this time, Rogge waved his hand, and a white light entered Lu Yuan’s forehead. Rogge said, “Kid, this is your reward for this mission!”
[Congratulations on completing Rogge’s hidden mission — obtain underground lava]
[Reward]: 1,000 EXP, 10 reputation points, 20 gold coins, acquired skill — Flame Spear!
Solaka waved his hand and Lu Yuan’s mission reward, the potion, appeared in front of him. Solaka said, “Kid, you deserve this.”
“I don’t need you to tell me that,” Lu Yuan ridiculed in his heart.
[Congratulations on completing Solaka’s hidden mission — find the sunstone]
[Reward]: 1,000 EXP, 10 reputation points, 20 gold coins, a bottle of purple-grade speed potion!
After this, Rogge and Solaka looked at each other as if they had a secret and chased Lu Yuan out.

“So the Royal Family has finally made a decision?” Lu Yuan looked up at the night sky and muttered.
Then, Lu Yuan turned into a ray of white light and disappeared.. He had gone offline.
