Although the settlement core of the Musical House was stolen by Ji Ye, the Magma Monsters’ settlement, which was at the peak of Extraordinary Rank-7 in the first place, had managed to enter Extraordinary Rank-8!

Even so, it could barely put up any resistance against the Twin Dragon Island who had developed too fast and boasted a bunch of top heroes and treasures.

The only thing that was slightly shameful was that the Magma Monsters’ all-swallowing pattern of development was too destructive.

As a result, although the Twin Dragon Island had conquered the Magma Monsters’ settlement, the resources they reaped were monotonous.

The magma core that could transform an area into magma, the black materials that could block the heat, and the high-quality sulfur mines that could be used as chemical materials…

The Twin Dragon Island had already reaped some of the resources from the territory of the Magma Islands during the Ten-Species Competition.

However, this was a settlement that had won the Ten-Species Competition anyway, and it had some items that the Twin Dragon Island hadn’t seen.

Fire Crystal

Level: Extraordinary

Rarity: Refined

Description: This is a crystal that contains a lot of firepowers. It can unleash powerful energy when activated.

This was a crystal that was translucent like glass with liquid flames flowing within. A lot of the crystals were stored in the magma.

According to Elder Jiao, the crystals could be used to make fire-energy weapons!

Apart from the Fire Crystal, there was also a material named Fire Diamond. It was of an even higher quality than the fire crystal, and the fire it contained was even in the solid form.

Theoretically speaking, the power of a Fire Diamond explosion equaled the full-strength strike of its level. It could be used to make tiny bombs.

However, what really tempted the players of the Twin Dragon Island, apart from the Fire Crystal and the Fire Diamond, was another item with “fire” in its name!

Extinguished Fire Core

Level: Extraordinary

Rarity: Excellent (Rare)

Description: This is the core that concentrates all the vitality of a Magma Monster. It lingers on after the consciousness in it disperses. One can inherit the power inside according to certain steps after absorbing it!

Pei Xingnu had already mentioned that the regular Magma Monsters could inherit the power of the Extraordinary Magma Monsters and advance. Obviously, they had swallowed such “Extinguished Fire Cores”. It was another manifestation of the Magma Monsters’ all-swallowing ability.

However, during cleaning, the Twin Dragon Island discovered, to their surprise, that not just the Magma Monsters, but human beings could also absorb the power in the Extinguished Fire Cores!

“Huh, this thing…”

Hao Dahai, as the main chef on the Twin Dragon Island, picked up an Extinguished Fire Core from the cooled magma.

Then, he squeezed off part of it and put it in his mouth to taste it.

It was directly absorbed by his stomach, melted into his cells, and provided immense power.

Several seconds later, his eyes suddenly bulged, and he remarked in surprise.

As a chef who could earn EXP and even honor by cooking every day, he wasn’t here for battle.

Instead, he was here to check if the Magma Monsters left any “edible” parts after they died.

He had to, because there were only limited types of food in the settlement, and everybody was already sick of the seafood.

The meats of the Tyrant Lizards and the Snake Monkeys were limited too and had almost been eaten up, not to mention that they weren’t very delicious in the first place.

The players and natives on the island had been criticizing the cafeteria harder and harder. As the chef, he was so anxious that he had lost a “significant” amount of weight, turning from 200 kilograms to 199 kilograms.

So, he made up his mind to look for new food ingredients. Even though the Fire Cores of the Magma Monsters didn’t look edible, he simply tried eating part of it.

Of course, Hao Dahai didn’t do that just because he was reckless.

It was because he had an Excellent talent skill named Food Replenishment, which could transform the Extraordinary matter in the food he ate into Extraordinary power.

He had already reached the peak of Extraordinary Rank-7, and he was as strong as Li Qing and Qin Yueyu!

However, he didn’t use his talent skill at all this time, and the power in the Fire Core of the Magma Monster was simply digested and transformed into magnificent strength by his stomach.

Strength was very important to those who practiced martial arts.

Firstly, strength could build up their body; secondly, they could only increase their level through continuous cultivation if they had enough strength.

It meant that the Extinguished Fire Cores that the Magma Monsters dropped were essentially tonic pills that gave the people of the Twin Dragon Island enough inner strength for them to use for years!

In fact, it wasn’t just the time limit that mattered.

Because the vitality of the Fire Core was transformed very quickly, one could try to break the bottleneck in martial arts.

Of course, because the transformation was done too quickly, the vitality in the Fire Core was not readily digestible for everybody!

“Ah!”

A new player, who had been asked to clean the battlefield, found a Fire Core in the cooled magma and tried having a tiny piece too.

As a result, his body temperature quickly soared, his face turned from red to purple, and even his genitals were congested too.

Pew!

Then, he couldn’t hold it back anymore, and blood was squirting out of his capillary vessels.

“The power in the Fire Cores is too powerful. Those who are below Extraordinary Rank-5 shouldn’t swallow it directly, or your body might explode.”

An Daoquan, who was asked to examine the newcomer, frowned and shook his head.

However, An Daoquan said excitedly in the next moment, “However, I can try to mix them with the herbs that Master brought back from the Battlefield of Providence to create slow-release pills… They should be able to give ordinary people inner strength and help them become Extraordinary!”

Back then, Ji Ye brought a lot of herbs as well as seeds back from the Battle of Xiangyang.

Those herbs had been growing fast in the place which was previously named “mushroom area” and renamed as “Herb Garden” after being transformed by the power of providence. They were enough to feed the whole settlement!

Also, there were not only the Extinguished Fire Cores, but some Magma Monsters had also dropped Burning Fire Cores that were offerings.

It meant that the natives or heroes summoned with such offerings would likely have Extraordinary powers that could manipulate and transform magma!

However, those weren’t the most valuable of the spoils of war that the Magma Monsters dropped.

What really surprised Ji Ye was the light ball that the hundred Magma Monsters who controlled the demon’s body dropped after they were killed by the soundwave phoenix.

It was actually in the color of bright silver!
