Chapter 154 - Crystal Ores, Scorpion Monsters.

The 77th catacomb!

Klein, Little Fox, and Little Wind had just walked into the catacomb.

They were completely attracted by this place.

It was because this place was too beautiful!

There were all kinds of crystals, and they were all colorful!

[This place is filled with crystal ores. Most of these crystals are just pretty and don't have any special effects. However, the crystals on the Crystal Scorpion's back that are guarding this place are valuable. It can increase the precision of one's control over the power of elements.]

Klein was delighted. The Fire Ring he had just obtained could increase the energy released by the flames.

However, the power released in one go was very powerful, so the difficulty of controlling it was definitely much higher than before.

And if he could obtain the crystal on the Crystal Scorpion's back, then he could greatly increase the precision of his control over the flames.

This was very useful to Klein.

It could be said to be very timely!

However, the notification in front of Klein changed again

[These Crystal Scorpions are very afraid of flames, but be careful. After killing a Crystal Scorpion, the Crystal Scorpion's corpse will turn into crystal within 5 minutes. Once it completely turns into crystal, the crystal on the Crystal Scorpion's back will lose its function and turn into an ordinary crystal. Please be sure to remove the crystals on your back within 5 minutes.]

"I see. I didn't expect it to be so troublesome," Klein muttered to himself.

Klein, instructed Little Wind and Little Fox to be careful of the Crystal Scorpions inside.

After giving them instructions, the man and two beasts entered the catacomb.

This catacomb was filled with crystals.

As such, it was very easy to interfere with one's vision.

The main reason was that these crystals were too beautiful, and one wouldn't be able to help but be attracted to them.

For this reason, Klein had Little Fox and Little Wind close their eyes.

He carefully observed his surroundings.

Since they were called Crystal Scorpions, their shapes should be very similar to crystals.

Similar to chameleons, Klein guessed that they could easily disguise themselves.

If he didn't raise his guard, it would be very difficult to discover them.

Suddenly, Klein noticed that an extremely beautiful crystal color had appeared in front of him.

Compared to the other crystals around him, it was obviously a little out of place.

Klein immediately released fire elemental missiles at them.

The fire elemental missile, which had been strengthened by the Fire Ring, instantly flew towards the strange crystal.

Boom!

A plume of thick smoke rose.

The beautiful crystal suddenly let out a tragic cry.

"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!"

Following that, a Crystal Scorpion revealed its true form and appeared in front of Klein.

The Crystal Scorpion was light blue in color, but it was very beautiful.

It could be said to be extremely beautiful.

Its eyes were blood-red, and there was a dark blue crystal on its back, forming a sharp contrast with it.

After being hit by Klein's fire elemental missile, the Crystal Scorpion's left leg was severely injured.

And its tragic cry instantly attracted the attention of some other Crystal Scorpions.

They appeared in front of Klein one after another.

There were about seven or eight of these Crystal Scorpions added up.

Each Crystal Scorpion had the same color without any difference.

Suddenly, the Crystal Scorpions let out a roar almost at the same time.

Following that, the entire catacomb shook violently.

The crystals kept falling off, and in the next second, the falling crystals suddenly shot towards where Klein was.

"Spread out!"

Klein ordered Little Wind and Little Fox, and then he immediately dodged.

The destructive power of these crystals was very strong, and they looked like icicles.

Once they were hit, they would either die or be injured.

Klein didn't dare to be careless.

Furthermore, these crystals basically came from all directions.

Even if he flew high in the sky, Klein had no way of dodging them.

Instead, it would be easier for him to be hit!

Klein could only dodge while looking for an opportunity.

However, the situation didn't seem optimistic.

He discovered that the frequency and speed of these crystals were getting faster and faster.

Putting him aside, Little Fox was still fine. It was still using its speed advantage to dodge.

However, there was a problem with the Little Wind.

Its speed was very slow to begin with.

Furthermore, the ground was made of crystals.

They were extremely hard.

They couldn't be compared to the sand.

Therefore, Little Wind wasn't able to completely dig through the crystals.

He could only passively take the hits.

Little Wind had already been hit by many crystals.

Thankfully, he had an armored back made of Stone Armor Ironstone, as well as his own hard armor, so he could still hold on.

However, if this continued for a long time, Klein was a little worried about Little Wind's situation.

Therefore, Klein had to quickly finish off the Crystal Scorpions.

"Little Fox, hide behind me!"

After Little Fox heard this, she immediately returned behind Klein.

And Little Wind was already behind Klein, so there was no problem.

Klein's heart sank. He instantly used the Fire Ring and aimed at the Crystal Scorpions, releasing powerful flames.

The flames instantly drowned the Crystal Scorpions.

Flames.

They were the weakness of the Crystal Scorpions!

Klein's flames, strengthened by the Fire Ring, were three times more powerful than before!

The raging flames were no longer on the level of fire elemental missiles. Instead, they were flames that could devour the Crystal Scorpions in one gulp!

In an instant, the Crystal Scorpions were devoured by the flames.

Screams echoed in the cave.

All the Crystal Scorpions were dead!

Klein immediately went to the corpse of one of the Crystal Scorpions.

He removed the crystal from its back.

It took Klein a lot of effort to retrieve it.

The density of the connection between the crystals and the Crystal Scorpions was even more important than Klein had imagined.

Fortunately, Klein finally retrieved one before the five minutes were up!

Just as Klein finished taking out the crystals, he discovered that the corpses of the other crystal scorpions had already begun to turn into colorful crystals.

At the same time, the entire catacomb began to tremble.

'Could it be that this place is going to collapse?'

Klein's mind focused.

He casually took a few colorful stones and flew out of the catacomb with Little Wind and the Little Fox.

Not long after they left the catacomb...

The entire catacomb collapsed.

"So, the core of this catacomb are these Crystal Scorpions. Once they die, the catacomb will disappear."

Klein sighed.

However, he didn't have the energy to think about this at the moment. Instead, he took out the dark blue crystal and aimed it at his Fire Ring.

He began to fuse and strengthen it!

The dark blue crystal suddenly emitted a blue light. The blue light shone on the Fire Ring on Klein's middle finger.

After the Fire Ring absorbed the blue light from the crystal, it underwent a subtle change.

A few minutes later, the blue light completely disappeared.

At that moment, Klein re-examined the Fire Ring.

He realized that there didn't seem to be any changes to the Fire Ring.

'Should I test the power of the upgraded Fire Ring now?'

This thought suddenly appeared in Klein's mind.
