Darkfire Stone Mine

Flame Slime, Level 2 creature, and with elemental attributes!

Compared to the Level 1 ordinary Slime, this Flame Slime's desire to attack was obviously much stronger.

The moment it saw Han Xing appear, it opened its small O-shaped mouth, a ball of scorching flames seemingly brewing inside.

Han Xing didn't underestimate it, quickly increasing the distance.

The next second, the fully charged fine iron arrow burst forth.

Buzz!

The bowstring stretched taut, emitting a tremor in the air.

The fired arrow struck the Flame Slime's forehead quickly and accurately.

Pfft!

The attack hit.

The Flame Slime's two round eyes widened suddenly, as if it had been startled.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

Two fireballs shot towards Han Xing with a speed no less than the arrow.

Just then, Han Xing moved.

With a flash, he instantly dodged the Flame Slime's attack.

The special effect attached to the space backpack came into play at this moment.

The added 4 points of Agility brought his Agility attribute to 8 points!

This was an attribute that ordinary hunters could only possess at Level 3!

Bang! Bang!

The fireballs missed, exploding on the ground beneath Han Xing's feet, scorching two patches of earth black.

Han Xing continued to nock an arrow and began to charge it.

A second later, the Striking effect attached to the fine iron longbow took effect.

Han Xing clearly felt that this arrow was more lethal than the previous one.

The Flame Slime was still brewing its second wave of fireball attacks.

Buzz!

The 'Striking' effect attached to the bow was triggered, and the fine iron arrow pierced into the Flame Slime's body, dealing more damage to it.

Moreover, the arrow's momentum did not diminish; with a pfft, it directly penetrated its body!

This arrow even triggered the arrow's 'Armor Penetration' effect, instantly increasing the damage by several levels.

The Flame Slime's attack came to an abrupt halt; the previous attack had left it severely injured.

Han Xing's eyes lit up.

Strike while the iron is hot!

Swish! Swish swish!

Fine iron arrows shot out one after another in quick succession.

Although the Level 2 Flame Slime was powerful, it couldn't withstand Han Xing's repeated attacks.

When the seventh arrow hit, the Flame Slime stopped in place, and then its body began to swell.

"Crap, it's going to explode!"

Han Xing's expression changed instantly; having had the experience once before, he didn't hesitate to run backwards.

He retreated directly to the edge of the territory.

At this time, the Flame Slime's body had swollen to its limit, like a red balloon about to explode.

Then, with a pop, it exploded!

Sparks flew everywhere, and the Slime exploded into pieces.

[You have killed Flame Slime lv2, gaining 20 experience points.]

Finally getting rid of this guy, Han Xing glanced at the experience bar, which had reached 80% of Level 1.

Han Xing began to approach the Flame Slime's territory.

Where it self-destructed, several red-hot stones and several clumps of transparent substance were left behind.

Those transparent substances were Aether materials, which only dropped from magical creatures like Slimes.

Picking up the items on the ground, a system prompt appeared.

[Obtained Firestone*4, Obtained Aether*8, Obtained Slime Mucus*17.]

[Firestone: A mineral containing scorching energy, it seems that it can be used to make some special device, and it can also be used as a flint]

Han Xing also fused this 4 cubic meter sky island into his territory. Now his territory area has become 4 meters * 5 meters, which is already 20 cubic meters.

The area wasn't particularly large or small; in some first-tier cities on Earth, it could even be considered a large apartment.

However, his territory was currently quite bare, with only a short berry tree serving as decoration.

As Han Xing observed his territory, he inadvertently noticed something different about the four territories that had just merged in.

These were several blocks of rocky terrain.

On the bluish-gray stones, there seemed to be some dark red spots, and as Han Xing approached, he could clearly feel the temperature gradually rising.

"Oh?" Han Xing was curious, so he walked over to these rocks and discovered their secret.

It was those dark red spots, buried deep beneath the stones, that were continuously radiating heat.

"Could it be some kind of ore?"

Han Xing's curiosity was piqued, and he wanted to try digging out these dark red stones.

Mining ore would damage the territory's area, and in severe cases, the territory could even turn into fragments and scatter in mid-air, reducing the territory's size.

But if the ore inside was valuable, sacrificing a few territories wouldn't be a problem.

Han Xing decided to mine, but mining required a pickaxe, which he didn't have in his inventory.

So he directly entered the trade channel and exchanged some materials for a few iron pickaxes.

Then, Han Xing rolled up his sleeves and started digging.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sound of metal striking stone echoed continuously in the high altitude.

"Eighty! Eighty!"

In rhythm, Han Xing shouted slogans.

Gravel splashed, and after a few minutes, the dark red stones hidden beneath the rocks were revealed.

A system prompt appeared.

[Darkfire Stone: A rare ore that seems to contain a unique energy, capable of continuously radiating heat and providing energy for certain devices.]

[Note: When a certain amount of Darkfire Stones are present in the same area, it may give rise to a unique elemental creature.]

Seeing the introduction above, Han Xing understood.

That Flame Slime must have been spawned by the Darkfire Stone. By absorbing heat, it would continue to grow stronger.

But clearly, it hadn't grown to a powerful enough stage before Han Xing noticed it.

Han Xing picked up the stones on the ground.

[Obtained Darkfire Stone *12.]

After mining the ore, Han Xing felt a wave of emptiness wash over his body.

His body's biological clock was reminding him that it was time to rest.

The night was bleak and watery, and the temperature in the high altitude dropped sharply.

A gentle breeze blew past, making people shiver.

The first day for humans in this world was coming to an end, and many people's territories had grown to 3 or 4 cubic meters in size. Although it was still quite small, it was at least enough to lie down and sleep.

Of course, if you were restless in your sleep, you could only pray for the best.

Many survivors curled up, shivering in the air.

Compared to them, Han Xing was much better off.

With a 20-square-meter territory, there was no need to worry about falling off.

Two Darkfire Stones were placed on either side of his territory, providing not only lighting but also continuously radiating heat, like a stove lit on a cold day, incredibly warm.

In the center of the territory, a berry tree with many branches plucked off stood quietly, its canopy rustling in the wind.

Han Xing leaned against the berry tree, lay on the ground, and looked at the starry sky.

Sleeping in such a high place was a peculiar feeling.

It felt as if you could reach out and touch the sky, with clouds floating around.

Before going to sleep, Han Xing maintained his habit from Earth, which was to browse the news.

Although he didn't have a phone, he could still open the local area network and view the chats of other survivors.

Most survivors had finished their day's exploration, and the local chat channel became even more lively.

They were all discussing how to sleep on the first night.

"Shovels, does anyone want shovels? You can dig a hole in the ground and bury yourself, so you don't have to worry about falling off in the middle of the night."

"Ropes! I have ropes here, you can tie yourself up to prevent yourself from moving around too much in your sleep!"

"Does anyone want glue made from Slime Mucus?"
