166: Absolute zero, deep in the battlefield!

Xia Qi’s eyes flickered slightly, and he had inadvertently copied the opponent's talent.

Ice Heart

Quality: SS

Effect: You can control ice, and ice-type skills are increased by 100%.

Skill: Absolute Zero

Effect: Causes ice damage within a hundred-meter radius, with freezing and slowing negative status effects.

What a great Ice Heart!

Xia Qi’s heart was startled; this talent was extremely practical, and the two negative status effects were also very useful.

Just imagine, first freezing the enemy with Absolute Zero, causing continuous damage, while other elemental skills and sword moves can be seamlessly linked.

Fighting monsters would be incredibly easy.

Of course, the most important thing was how cool it looked!

An ice mage with an ice sword in hand—just thinking about the scene made it feel incredibly powerful.

Cheng An and his group returned to the dungeon entrance area and set up a new campfire.

The group had just experienced a major battle and were exhausted; if they didn't return to their Station, they would usually choose to rest on the spot, recover their stamina, and continue the dungeon.

Xia Qi took the food Cheng An handed him and decided to rest for a while as well.

Groups of professionals once again lit fires in front of the dungeon, chatting and laughing.

It was as if nothing had happened just now.

The professionals in the Dragon Battlefield were all quite thick-skinned.

Some things, once seen too often, become normal.

“Junior Xia Qi, you must be tired after killing so many demons, come have something to eat.”

Once the fire was lit, Cheng An took out the food he had prepared earlier and roasted it over the fire.

At the same time, he pulled out a bottle of wine, took a sniff with a look of intoxication, and asked, “Junior, want some?”

“Sure.”

Xia Qi didn't usually drink much, but that didn't mean he couldn't drink.

He took the wine bottle and tilted his head back, taking a gulp.

The imagined spiciness and stimulation didn't appear; instead, there was a mellow and smooth taste, the wine flavor wasn't very strong, and it tasted really good.

“How is it? This wine is good, right?”

Cheng An revealed a sly smile and continued, “This isn't ordinary wine; it's a medicinal wine specially made by a gourmet, which can relieve fatigue and speed up physical recovery.”

“We usually have a few sips after a battle; it's delicious, doesn't get you drunk, and the effect is especially good.”

“It truly is a good thing!”

Xia Qi couldn't help but take another sip, then wiped his mouth and handed the wine bottle back to Cheng An.

“I won't drink your stuff for free; here, this is for you guys.”

Saying that, he pulled out dragon nectar fruit from his storage space and tossed one to each of them.

“Oh, you already helped us drive away the demons, what's a little wine… What the heck!”

Cheng An said he didn't want it, but as soon as he saw the attributes of the dragon nectar fruit, he instantly exclaimed, “What the heck!”

“This, this, this… this fruit can directly restore stamina?”

His mouth was wide open, and his hand trembled, almost dropping the fruit.

“This is a treasure! Where did you get this?!”

Cheng An’s eyes became fiery; don't underestimate the simple effect of the dragon nectar fruit.

Anything that can directly increase stamina is a rare item.

The life fruit from the Fallen Land is amazing, right? Unfortunately, no one can bring it out of the dungeon.

In the market, items that can directly increase stamina are even rarer.

Such things are life-saving treasures in the wild or in dungeon siege battles.

“Infernal Level.”

He said lightly.

Cheng An and his teammates’ fiery gazes instantly dimmed.

Infernal Level? What are you talking about?

You can go in, but you won’t come out alive.

“Uh, pretend I didn't ask.”

Cheng An scratched the back of his head and put the dragon nectar fruit into his storage space, unwilling to eat it, planning to use it when his stamina was depleted next time, depending on the situation.

The few of them rested for a while, drinking medicinal wine and eating roasted meat, and after they were full, Cheng An patted his butt and stood up.

“We’re going to enter the dungeon again later; Junior, are you coming with us?”

Looking at Cheng An’s expectant gaze, Xia Qi shook his head.

“No need, I’ll solo it.”

“That’s true, with your strength, forming a team would be a waste. Alright then, take this card.”

Rejected, Cheng An wasn't angry; instead, he politely took out a card and handed it to Xia Qi.

“There’s ten million in here. The breakthrough equipment you gave me earlier was a huge boost, and I can't take advantage of you. I don't have enough points, so I can only buy it from you with money.”

The Dragonman Spear’s attributes could already rival platinum equipment, and it could be used at level 28.

It far exceeded the value of normal gold equipment.

Considering its rarity, being dropped from a Infernal Level dungeon, it was unique, making its value even higher.

Therefore, Cheng An offered to buy it at five times the market price, which was a relatively reasonable price.

Upon hearing this, Xia Qi shook his head.

“I already said I exchanged it for the Corpse-Dissolving Powder with you. You should take this money back.”

Mainly, Xia Qi had hundreds of such pieces of equipment in his space and sincerely didn't think it was worth that much money.

Hiss...

Cheng An and his teammates all took a sharp breath.

This was ten million; Xia Qi actually didn't want it?

The purchasing power of ten million Dragon coins was still very strong; under normal circumstances, a full set of second-turn gold equipment was only ten million.

Not to mention that ten million could also buy many auxiliary items, after all, who would complain about having too much money?

Unless Xia Qi was not short of money at all, being the son of some magnate, only then could he regard money as dirt.

In reality, it was quite the opposite; Xia Qi was truly poor.

Cheng An was very embarrassed by Xia Qi’s generosity, “This is breakthrough equipment. If you don’t want ten million, then five million should be fine, right? Don’t refuse again, or else I’ll feel like this equipment is burning my hands.”

“Alright then, that evens it out.”

Seeing that the other party insisted on giving him money, Xia Qi, who didn't like to argue, nodded in agreement.

Cheng An’s face lit up with joy, and he very straightforwardly transferred five million to Xia Qi.

Buying this equipment for five million, he actually made a profit.

After this transaction, the relationship between the two parties also became more familiar.

Being schoolmates and having similar personalities, their goodwill naturally soared.

After the small interlude, Xia Qi had rested enough, so he bid farewell to Cheng An and his group and left the dungeon to look for Abyss Demons.

He would return to finish the last Dragonkin Camp run once the dungeon’s cooldown ended.

After Xia Qi left, Cheng An and his group didn't idle either; they contentedly entered the Dragonkin Camp dungeon.

They believed that with the enhancement of the Dragonman Spear, they could thoroughly enjoy the nightmare difficulty dungeon this time.

Deep within the Dragon Battlefield.

Dense fog enveloped this place.

Not only was the fog very thick here, but the sky was also pitch black, as if the sun in the sky couldn't shine here at all.

Suddenly, raging flames ignited, and a scarlet giant eye emerged within the flames.

“Many of the Low-level demons in the outer perimeter have died. Go see what’s going on.”

“Yes, my Lord!”

Another voice sounded, then the giant eye closed, and the flames disappeared.

Everything returned to darkness.
