61: Lava Trap

“That’s right,” Lin Ye nodded.

“After the Blazing Dominators from outside came in, they grew to Tier 7 here. However, the Blazing Dominators’ growth not only requires heat but also needs to consume ores and metals.”

Zhao Wenlong asked, “Didn’t you say the magma is rich in various metal components?”

“The Blazing Dominator can’t eat magma. If it could, it wouldn’t be Tier 7,” Lin Ye rolled his eyes at him.

Zhao Wenlong suddenly understood.

Lin Ye continued, “The Blazing Dominator’s body completely developed problems due to the lack of minerals and metals, which is why its vitality is so low.”

“Not only that, I estimate that many Blazing Dominators must have died before, and their bodies might have been devoured by survivors to extend their lives,” Bai Zhiqing added.

“Then wouldn’t these Blazing Dominators have a lot of fiery cores inside them?”

“We’re rich, we’re rich.”

“Hurry up, hurry up.”

“I’ll seal the entrance first, so other teams don’t discover it.”

“Clever, as expected of the captain, so thoughtful.”

......

Everyone was completely excited.

We’re rich, we’re rich.

Chen Ou didn’t say a word and rushed towards the entrance, cleaning up the traces outside, especially that pile of droppings. Hunters, those professions, have noses even sharper than dogs, so it had to be cleaned thoroughly.

They had encountered three or four teams during this period, but out of caution, neither side made a move, so as not to affect their hunting.

Mainly, this was the early stage, and they hadn't gained much. Once they started gaining more later, there would likely be a fierce battle.

The organizers did not allow trading or gifting spoils of war but did not prohibit eliminating other teams to acquire spoils of war.

After cleaning up, everyone began to deal with these Blazing Dominators who were so secluded they were almost dead.

After a test, they had the strength of Tier 7, but only the aura of Tier 5. Their combat power was just enough to rival Tier 6.

Dealing with Tier 6 was a piece of cake.

Everyone quickly dispatched this Blazing Dominator.

Its seven-meter body made movement difficult, and what made it stronger than a Tier 6 Blazing Dominator was its flame attack.

But because it was too weak, its control was very poor, even worse than a Tier 6’s.

The only thing stronger than a Tier 6 was its defense; it was too tanky.

Only Lin Ye’s Breaking Void Fist could break its defense.

Others also practiced penetration skills, but their proficiency was not high, and the power of their penetration was insufficient.

For penetration skills, the higher the proficiency, the more defense can be ignored.

They fought this one for a long time too, with the others distracting and Lin Ye as the main damage dealer.

It was more tiring than fighting a Tier 6, taking twice as long to finish.

When the first Blazing Dominator’s spoils of war dropped, everyone cheered.

Including its own, there were a total of seven fiery cores, and quite a few ability seeds inside.

The fiery cores, being too condensed, would not be digested, and the ability seeds, being of extremely special texture, also could not be digested.

We made a fortune, a huge fortune.

The Tier 7 Blazing Dominator actually dropped two Star Level Unshakable ability seeds.

The Blazing Dominator’s abilities are basically Gold Level, and the only Star Level ability is Unshakable, which is an ability from the Colossus template, making it very valuable.

Star Level ability seeds have an average price of 100 million, and the Colossus is so popular that this price will have a slight premium.

And the Unshakable ability is only found in Tier 7 Blazing Dominators.

At this time, the only pity was that this round’s ranking did not affect the subsequent results, serving only as a screening.

However, the spoils of war belonged to them and did not need to be handed over to the organizers.

They had to exploit this to the fullest.

Although this was ostensibly an industry of the Blue Star Alliance, the Star Gate had already been moved to the Beautiful Country. Isn’t that clear? It will most likely belong to the Beautiful Country later.

Exploit, exploit it ruthlessly.

Not exploiting it would be unpatriotic.

There were too many Blazing Dominators around; they were simply inexhaustible.

This place was simply heaven.

But when they encountered a super-huge rock, everyone dared not move.

Tier 8!

“This is definitely Tier 8. There’s actually a Tier 8, how terrifying,” Zhao Wenlong gasped.

“Everyone, leave quickly, don’t alarm them. This Tier 8 aura is completely intact, so it probably ate a lot of its own kind. We are no match,” Lin Ye ran off after sensing it clearly.

The others also felt their hair stand on end and ran immediately.

Terrifying, terrifying.

It also made sense.

Although Blazing Dominators are invincible in offense and defense, they cannot break the defense of their own kind. Wouldn’t their proud flame attacks be feeding their own kind?

The opponent would even become more energetic after being hit, thanking the old friend for the warmth.

As for close combat, those two super large shields could scratch the opponent from day to night, and then cycle like that until exhaustion.

Once exhausted, they would turn into reclusive rocks, lie flat, absorb heat to recover their stamina, and the other side would also be helpless.

So, between Tier 7s, it was indeed only when others died that they could get a share.

But Tier 8 was different.

He had the ability to hunt Tier 7s. When his body needed metal minerals, he could just kill a weak member of his own kind.

After rejoining, everyone was still filled with lingering fear.

“I’m afraid there’s a Tier 9 Blazing Dominator living in this magma,” Lin Ye’s voice trembled slightly.

“Definitely. Tier 9 can already live in magma, right?”

“It’s too scary. Should we go out?”

“This isn’t a graveyard; it feels like a battlefield for Gu worms, nurturing even more terrifying Blazing Dominators.”

“Fortunately, fortunately, Blazing Dominators are all homebodies.”

......

Everyone chattered, venting their emotions.

They had entered a tiger’s den.

After some discussion, they ultimately chose to stay.

However, their hunting became even more cautious.

They didn't even touch any Blazing Dominators around the Tier 8 one.

Perhaps the Tier 8 wouldn’t tolerate you killing its food and would make a move.

Fortunately, this magma lake was very large, and over a long time, an unknown number of Blazing Dominators had been attracted in.

And Blazing Dominators are foolish; once they have heat, they don’t leave. After breaking through Tier 7, they desperately lack ores and metals and find that their bodies have grown too large to get out.

Digging tunnels is impossible; the rocks in this place are incredibly hard. Even they, who grow by eating rocks and metals, are helpless.

Everyone’s actions indeed became more cautious, but their moves were still ruthless and cunning.

Countless Tier 7 Blazing Dominators were hunted.

They also encountered Tier 7s that had just devoured the corpses of their own kind and had stable auras, so they didn’t make a move.

It was very satisfying.

Tier 7 spoils of war, but only Tier 6 hunting difficulty.

The spoils of war occasionally even had critical drops.

It could be three portions, or it could be four portions.

The first one they encountered dropped quite well, but subsequent ones that dropped seven portions were not common.

Most were still around three or four portions, and some even had only one.

But everyone was tireless, even working overtime.

After getting familiar with it, their hunting efficiency was also very high.

Teammates distracted the fire, and Lin Ye just had to output damage like crazy.

The efficiency was very high; they could deal with three to four Blazing Dominators a day.

On average, one Blazing Dominator could drop four portions of spoils of war.

So, they could gain twelve to sixteen portions of spoils of war a day.

And the spoils of war from one Tier 7 Blazing Dominator were worth about 80 million, so they could gain about 1 billion a day.

Divided equally among everyone, each person got 200 million a day.

This opportunity was too good. The income from Tier 6 Blazing Dominators was only about 20 million.

If they were still hunting Tier 6s, their income would be cut by more than half; getting over 10 million per person a day would be considered good.
