Blue Steel Dungeon
The fruit-selling uncle wore an expression of profound relief as he witnessed firsthand the descent of the rotten-egg rain—tens of thousands of rotten eggs that completely overturned everything he had known in his life.
Leaving the small town, Li Yan rode the Black Lightning Motorcycle along the path, occasionally encountering a bump where he relied on space magic and teleportation to soar directly over all obstacles.
The Black Lightning Motorcycle was extremely fast. His target for this trip was a low-level dungeon; he had not entered a dungeon to explore for quite a long time, and dungeons were the most suitable places for mages to practice magic.
Not only could they cultivate novice mages' practical combat abilities, but they could also yield unexpected treasures, such as magic items from the Mythical Era, or priceless gold, silver, and jewels.
The Blue Steel Dungeon was a dungeon that novices generally liked to visit, being a popular choice among low-level dungeons. The monsters inside were weak goblins and slimes, with the occasional skeleton monster popping out, and the treasure chests and secret passages inside had basically been hollowed out by adventurers, yet there were always a few lucky people who found new secret paths or new treasure chests in the dungeon, thereby achieving great things.
The Blue Steel Dungeon got its name because it was built from large areas of cyan giant stones underground; because magic and combat sometimes could not even break the surface of the stones, making them even harder than steel, it acquired the name of the Blue Steel Dungeon.
The Blue Steel Dungeon closest to Li Yan was around Sicily Small Town. If one were to ride in a carriage, it might take two or three days of travel, but what Li Yan was riding was the Black Lightning Motorcycle. With his mana at full throttle, the two or three days required by a carriage took him only half a day.
Along the journey, quite a few monsters launched attacks, but the speed of the Black Lightning Motorcycle was completely beyond what they could catch up to. Whether it was scorching flames or fatal purple venom, the range of their spray was completely unable to hit the Black Lightning Motorcycle in its full-mana state.
Frieren curled her lips into a dangerous smile, her staff pointing straight at the pursuing monsters, and countless bolts of the Thunder of Destruction gathered from mana struck the pursuing monsters mercilessly.
That was a deep-purple thunder strike. As a thunder-type magic of immense might and astonishing destructive power, its power was sufficient to instantly kill any monster whose mana was inferior to Frieren's.
The rumbling sound of thunder rang out, and the stubbornly pursuing monsters were blasted into black charcoal, with blood splashing into the surrounding woods.
Fun!
Frieren shouted with high spirits, looking forward to encountering more monsters on the road so it would be convenient for her to sit on the Black Lightning Motorcycle and beat monsters.
Sometimes encountering a broken wooden bridge, Li Yan neatly deployed space magic, teleporting across the broken bridge and driving neatly ahead, prompting Flamme to involuntarily marvel at the convenience of space magic.
She had also studied space magic once, but that complex, incomprehensible spatial concept made even her feel a headache.
Not only her, but Frieren also tried to learn her senior brother's space magic, but when she watched Li Yan cast space magic and then looked at the magic tomes related to space magic, she abandoned the idea of learning space magic—that was a train of magical thought that an ordinary, normal brain could not comprehend.
Only when she was carried by Li Yan while he used space magic did she gain a slight understanding of the train of thought for space magic, but she was still a full one hundred and eight thousand miles away from casting space magic herself.
Perhaps, being carried by Li Yan to cast space magic every day, with hundreds of years of accumulation, she might also learn space magic, but that was only perhaps.
The half-day journey soon ended. Little Fool wore a hat and followed closely behind Li Yan. The Black Lightning Motorcycle was stored away by Li Yan in Alternate Space. Looking at the somewhat dilapidated Blue Steel Dungeon before her, Frieren felt somewhat curious. She had heard various legends about the Blue Steel Dungeon in various tomes, and it was said that there were all kinds of physical and magical traps inside the dungeon, among which there were Mimics disguised as treasure chests. When adventurers rejoiced at finding a treasure chest and approached it with their guard down, the Mimic would strip off its disguise at the very first moment and swallow the adventurers into its belly.
Flamme, on the other hand, looked at the Blue Steel Dungeon with a hint of nostalgia. Once upon a time, she was also an adventurer and had several adventure companions, even though they all parted ways later on.
"Young master, I will protect you when we enter the dungeon."
Little Fool said with a serious expression, and Li Yan chuckled and patted her head.
Coming to this Blue Steel Dungeon was merely to experience the joy of adventure during their travels. Having left the dwelling where he had stayed for a long time, Li Yan had not yet fixed his location or thoughts for his next dwelling.
Perhaps going to free-load a stay at Grandmaster Serie's place wouldn't be bad either. That quaint grand palace was a bit wasteful for Grandmaster Serie to live in alone, and moreover, one could learn a lot of useful magic by the grandmaster's side, such as the magic to move items to oneself by relying on telekinetic magic without wanting to get up, and the magic to split items into various shapes with a casual wave of the finger—this magic was a chef's favorite, an absolute must for cutting vegetables.
Stepping into the Blue Steel Dungeon, treading on the cyan-gray stone floor tiles, there were torches hanging high on the walls inside, and looking as far as the eye could see, one could clearly make out the path ahead.
"As expected of the Blue Steel Dungeon specifically for novices to adventure in; even the entrance has already been fitted with undying magic torches."
Li Yan said with emotion. Compared to other dungeons, the bustling Blue Steel Dungeon clearly made for a more comfortable adventure, having even solved the problem of visibility, which was the most important issue in dungeons.
Charging straight through all the way, Frieren gripped her staff with excitement, always walking at the very front with high spirits whenever she encountered novel things.
"Awooo!"
In the dim dungeon, the first to arrive was a squad of goblins baring sharp fangs. Their cyan bodies, ugly faces, and the short knives and daggers gripped in their hands symbolized that they were not to be trifled with.
Seeing the appearance of the goblins, a flash of light lit up in Frieren's eyes, and her staff pointed straight at the goblins. As the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, scorching flames spewed forth from the staff.
"Hellfire, heh heh heh!"
Resembling the spray of a fire dragon's flames, or the sudden appearance of the Grand Fireball technique, the scorching flames burned mercilessly toward the goblin squad. Faced with the sudden invasion of the hellish fire, the miserable screams of the goblins rang out from within the dungeon.
Li Yan seemed to hear the sounds of double kill, triple kill, rampage, and a godlike entity descending. Frieren gripped her fire-breathing staff and advanced forward with high spirits, and wherever she went, the light of the flames illuminated every single monster in the dungeon.
"What a massacre indeed!"
Li Yan, walking behind, could not help but sigh. Frieren was truly cruel, able to roast even a cute little slime into water vapor.
