35: Crazy upgrade, the last fragment of fire element essence

Sure enough, as soon as the Volcanic Rock Demons were cleared out, another large wave of monsters appeared.

This time, they were Blazing Fiend Spirits.

However, their level was 30, and their attributes were stronger than before.

But with the previous battle against the Volcanic Rock Demons, Ye Xiao's fire resistance had already stacked to 6500, and he had also gained a 20% fire resistance boost.

Coupled with Ye Xiao's original magic resistance, his fire resistance now exceeded 10,000.

With such terrifying resistance, these Blazing Fiend Spirits couldn't inflict much damage on Ye Xiao.

Nevertheless, it still took Ye Xiao an hour to completely wipe out these Blazing Fiend Spirits.

His level also rose to 43.

He glanced at the experience needed for the next level: 1,087,258 points.

Ye Xiao couldn't help but shake his head.

Leveling up was a bit too difficult.

If he didn't have so many experience-boosting Skill Stone, he probably wouldn't reach this level in a month.

It seems that after he goes out, he still needs to collect more Skill Stone that provide experience bonuses.

Ye Xiao had a very clear plan for himself.

Although the Eternal World truly existed, its rules ultimately followed a game-like model.

Many areas had level restrictions for entry.

Therefore, a character's level was crucial.

And the benefits of increasing one's level were not limited to these.

Besides the normal attribute point increases, there were also Profession advancements, learning advanced skills, and finally, equipment wearing.

This was also why Ye Xiao's drop rate was so high, and he wasn't in a hurry to farm equipment.

After all, the attribute effects of low-level equipment were far inferior to high-level equipment.

The time spent on low-level equipment would be enough for him to gain several more levels.

Anyway, his Fireball damage was currently sufficient to deal with all the dangers he encountered.

At this moment, with the death of the Blazing Fiend Spirits, Ye Xiao not only obtained another fire element essence fragment, but his fire skill damage also increased by another 20%.

The total increase reached 40%.

In addition, during the battle, the Blazing Fiend Spirits unexpectedly dropped five Fireball Skill Stone.

This greatly pleased Ye Xiao.

Now, his total number of Fireballs reached 36.

Next, the fourth wave of fire-element monsters appeared.

They were a group of monsters with extremely high defense.

But Ye Xiao's damage had also increased significantly, so dealing with them was naturally not an issue.

Just like that, another three hours passed.

Ye Xiao had already obtained 4 fire element essence fragments, and his fire resistance increased by another 20%.

Ye Xiao also noticed that after killing these fire-element monsters composed of fire elements, the attribute boosts he could gain from the fire element essence fragments were only two types, and they appeared alternately.

Another eight hours passed.

Ye Xiao's total fire skill damage increase reached 100%, and his fire resistance increase reached 80%.

At the same time, his level also reached 49, with only one-third of the experience bar remaining until level 50.

During this period, the Fireball Skill Stone that occasionally dropped accumulated his total Fireball count to 50.

The damage of a single Fireball, under the enhancement of fire skills, broke through the 5000 mark, reaching 5233 points.

The total damage soared to an extremely exaggerated 261,660 points.

As for fire resistance, it reached 15,958 points.

It could be said that with Ye Xiao's high fire resistance, most fire-element skills could not cause effective damage to him without penetration and resistance reduction.

But before he could finish his thoughts, the glare in front of him no longer twisted but was uncharacteristically straightened.

Suddenly, a black flame appeared out of nowhere within the glare.

The moment the flame appeared, the surrounding glare was scorched and distorted.

In an instant, a colossal figure, like a volcano, stepped out of the flames.

【Lava Behemoth (Elite)】

【Level: 60】

【HP: 1,000,000】

【Attack: 4000】

【Defense: 20000】

【Skills: Lava Shield, Spark Burst, Earth Shock, Cataclysm】

【Description: Its skin is as red as lava, exuding scorching heat, and the scales covering its exterior have been continuously burned by magma day and night, giving it the characteristic of being almost immune to elemental damage.】

---

Looking at the giant beast that suddenly appeared before him, this figure was several times larger than any monster Ye Xiao had seen before.

Despite being mentally prepared, Ye Xiao was still stunned by its exaggerated attributes.

What the hell was that 1 million HP and 20,000 defense?

The level 30 Calamity Herald only had 100,000 HP.

Did this level 60 Elite monster's HP directly multiply by 10?

And its defense multiplied by 20.

One must know that although the Lava Behemoth in front of him was high-level, it was an Elite monster.

These attributes were ridiculously exaggerated.

Although Ye Xiao knew that this last fire element essence fragment would not be easy to obtain, he never expected such a situation.

At this moment, Ye Xiao even wondered if anyone in this world could complete the Fusion Mage's class change quest.

At this moment, on the Lava Behemoth's face, covered with ferocious patterns, a pair of eyes larger than Ye Xiao's fists flickered with scorching fire.

Every step it took was accompanied by the trembling of the ground, like the rise of a fire god.

"The aura of an invader should be purified by flames!" a hollow, deep voice came out.

The heavy great axe in the Lava Behemoth's hand emitted a few sparks, and raging flames danced along the blade's edge, forming a sea of fire.

Immediately after, this massive figure stepped towards Ye Xiao.

Seeing the Lava Behemoth about to use a skill, Ye Xiao naturally wouldn't stand there foolishly.

The next second, countless Fireballs rained down from the sky.

Boom, boom, boom!

They slammed onto the Lava Behemoth's hard scales.

Through the panel's description, Ye Xiao had already vaguely sensed it, but when he actually saw his damage was only single digits, Ye Xiao fell silent.

This was the so-called elemental immunity?

This thing was like a nightmare for magic Professionals.

However, although a series of Fireballs did not cause substantial damage to the Lava Behemoth, relying on the Eye of Law he learned in the Crimson Moon Space, it completely interrupted the Lava Behemoth's skill.

In the current situation, Ye Xiao could still easily withstand the Lava Behemoth's damage, and under the control of the Eye of Law, the magic power required for the opponent to cast skills was also ridiculously high.

It was a disguised way to weaken the opponent's attack.

With Ye Xiao's current HP and defense, there was no danger.

But similarly, with the Lava Behemoth's 1 million HP, his single-digit damage couldn't do anything to the opponent.

Ye Xiao tried a few more times.

After confirming that the opponent was even immune to Venomous Assault, the situation became a stalemate.

At this moment, Ye Xiao even considered whether to go up and hack with the Goblin's staff.

Perhaps the damage would be higher than his skills.

At the same time, his heart was even more puzzled by everything in front of him.

He had clearly come to the dungeon to try and catch up with the NPCs who had previously invaded the secret realm, or to see if he could find the Shadow Prison organization Remi mentioned.

But as a result, he had just entered and was held back by these ridiculously strong monsters.

Not to mention this big guy in front of him, Ye Xiao could guarantee that even the monsters he had cleared out earlier were definitely not something Professionals below three advancements could handle.

But clearly, during their previous encounter, those NPCs could be instantly killed by him, and their strength was not strong.

How did they come and go freely in this terrifying dungeon?

However, after much thought, Ye Xiao still attributed all of this to the crimson moon token.

According to his analysis, it should be the crimson moon token that triggered some mechanism in this dungeon.

He retracted his thoughts and looked at the mountain-like big guy in front of him.

Finally, Ye Xiao gritted his teeth and began to stand and output damage.

Although the damage was negligible, his Fireball was different from others.

With a cooldown of only 0.5 seconds, he could instantly cast 100 Fireballs within a second.

Calculated this way, Ye Xiao's damage to the Lava Behemoth, even at its lowest, was five or six hundred per second.

1 million HP would actually only take a little over half an hour.

Of course, this did not include the Lava Behemoth's recovery ability.

But Ye Xiao believed that as long as he persevered, 1 million HP would eventually be worn down by him.

After all, he had already spent nearly a day, and he was determined to get this last fire element essence fragment.

And just as Ye Xiao was fully immersed in the battle, far above ground, in the depths of Blackwater Canyon in Black Sand City, the Secluded Pool, which had been calm for nearly a day, became lively again.
