“What’s happening there?”

“It can also rain in Endless Volcanoes?”

Violent Fate listened to the comments of his subordinates and frowned. He looked at the unusual dark clouds from afar and sensed danger.

It was just so unusual!

“Be alert!” Violent Fate shouted and walked to the front of the team. The rest of the team quickly surrounded the gigantic egg. The sole reason why this Hundred Bandit Team existed was because of Eighteen Massacres!

Kaboom—

Kaboom—

Thick dark clouds seemed to crush the ground, while a thunderstorm was brewing in the clouds. A bolt of lightning struck the crater, sputtering magma that caused the players to tremble in fear.

“That volcano…” Violent Fate checked the map. He was assured that even if the volcano did erupt, they would be safe there.

But… the sound of thunder got louder and scarier! It was like the doom of Earth!

Suddenly! Another lightning struck the crater! This time, the color of the lightning was mixed with a little red color together with purple. Then, a heatwave hit them.

The heat was like burning everything on the ground, the temperature of the hot surrounding rose again.

-25!

-25!

…

Violent Fate looked at the burning damage and started to worry again. He instructed his team to drink a bottle of high-grade Fire Resistance Potion and called Eighteen Massacres. The call did not go through.

Kaboom—

After 10 seconds of accumulation, the thunder finally struck down in a crazy way. Thunderstorms bombarded the crater, bringing dust and magma all over the sky! A burning magma swallowed the Ogres, which felt the danger and tried to escape. All they heard was a sharp burning sound, and the Ogres were burned to ashes by magma!

The volcano was erupting!

Under the strike of the lightning, the volcano emitted a shrieking sound, and the lava burst out! The hot magma charged downhill along the passageway opened by Lin Jie, and everything along the way melted! Vultures, Hounds, and even the Flame Demons… The minute they touched magma, they turned into dust!

The rolling magma devoured all those who dared to stand in its way!

Violent Fate observed the direction of the magma and found that although it had great momentum, it could never endanger the ground they were standing. This was a huge relief for Violent Fate.

Suddenly… the lava changed its course!

The change was so abrupt as though the lava was a living monster which had found its prey!

“Get out of…” Violent Fate’s body was swallowed by the lava before he could even finish his sentence! He tried to check the situation for one last time, but his health points were quickly drained to zero!

Kaboom—

Nothing survived the magma!

The lava flowed to the gigantic egg with a sizzling sound as though it was not obstructed by anything.

Hundred Bandit Team, wiped out!

——————

—’Congratulations for leveling up to Level 23! You have received 5 free Stat points and 2 fixed Stat points.’

Golden lights showered upon Wine God Youngster, Zheng Ziliang and Lin Jie. The monsters in the Endless Volcanoes were elites level 30s and 40s with extremely high EXP! In Lin Jie’s previous life, it was Unexpected Childe who used this method. However, what he did was way more magnificent. He baited five hundred Knights from Dark-robed Knights and a Roaring Serpent and killed them all.

The three men stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the giant eggs devoured by magma, and they felt good about what they had done.

“Good job!” Zheng Ziliang gave Lin Jie a thumb up. “How did you even think about it! Jie, you are my good brother.”

“The lava will be refreshed by the system soon. Let’s go pick up our loot,” Lin Jie said.

“From the Bosses?”

“Nah, monsters killed by lava will not have any drop, but… players do!” Lin Jie smirked. Zheng Ziliang understood him and rushed downhill. He packed all the drops from Hundred Bandit Team into his bag.

There were 39 pieces of gold equipment and 20 pieces of silver equipment.

“These items were really good! No wonder their success rate is so high!” Zheng Ziliang smiled and said, “I’ll keep all the items, I’ll split the profit later with you guys! Since they belonged to Eighteen Massacres, I’ll put these up on the Auction House and let them pay for their own equipment. Hehe.”

The sky darkened as he finished his sentence.

A red dragon head appeared from the clouds! Although it was just a head, the three of them felt an insane pressure on them!

It opened its mouth, and the raging lava turned into a little bubble and entered the dragon’s mouth.

“Human. Let me warn you once and for all. Do not go against nature again! Or else, there will be severe punishment!” the dragon said angrily and disappeared in the cloud.

“Damn, what was that?” Zheng Ziliang asked with a surprised look.

“Red Dragon Queen.”

Zheng Ziliang was even more shocked. “You pissed the Red Dragon Queen? Are we in trouble?”

Lin Jie laughed. He explained, “At this current stage, these super-strong NPCs are bored anyway, and the system needs a justified reason to fix the BUGs, or special occasions. This is where they are useful. The New Age is a highly reality-duplicated game, it would look bad on them if they had a system patch for each BUG they found.”

“Do you mean the system sent that guy over?” Zheng Ziliang said in disbelief. “So we cannot use that BUG anymore?”

“Nope. Or else the Red Dragon Queen would come down with a dragon breath. It controls the Strength of Magic. In other words… she just needs to snap a finger, and it will be fatal for you, maybe together with some disgusting debuff such as ruining your face and luck.”

“OMG, that sounds terrible. She can ruin my face? That’s not fair…”

Lin Jie rolled his eyes and ignored the second part of his comment.

“Continue the mission when you guys are done talking craps.” Wine God Youngster said coldly, “I hate talkative students.”

Zheng Ziliang laughed and said, “I’m talkative by nature. Bite me! You are not my teacher, anyway. I’m proud to be talkative!”

“Zheng Ziliang, Class 3 of Business Administration Major, Department of Economic Management, accepted by alternative means. LOL.” Wine God Youngster mocked at him.

Zheng Ziliang was stunned.

Lin Jie sent a private message to Youngster: “You checked on him?”

“It is not an investigation, it is necessary protection. I’ve checked on you too,” Wine God Youngster replied. “I’ll tell you more when your fist gets stronger.”

Lin Jie was silenced.

“Jie, let’s focus on the mission. I don’t want to talk with this teacher anymore,” Zheng Ziliang said softly.

Lin Jie took out the Moratti Shrine Map and approached the gigantic egg. A dark purple swirl appeared in front of them.

“Should we go in?” Zheng Ziliang asked.

Lin Jie quickly stopped him and said, “Wait, we’ll have someone test the road for us.”

With a glitter, Gilian appeared.

“You go in first.” Lin Jie commanded.

“It’s a sad world that human beings can’t even pity a beauty.” Gilian sighed. She winked at Zheng Ziliang and said to him, “Dear Contract Summoner, do you want to be my new master? I am a pretty good Priest.”

Zheng Ziliang smiled and asked, “How big are your boobs?”

Gilian was not expecting that as a question and paused for a long time. Lin Jie pushed her, and she almost fell right into the swirl.

“Wa… wait! There traps in the teleportation circle. Once entered I’ll die,” Gilian said immediately. “I know another way, but I need mana!”

Lin Jie stared at her, “No way! Bring us in or else…”

“I really need mana…” Gilian was tearing up. “How else can I use my Space Magic? I need at least 5,000 mana to teleport four people. You are my master, and you already did not give me food and clothing. You don’t even give me supplies? Terrible Homosapien!”

She seemed to be telling the truth…

Lin Jie took out the gold card and threatened her, “If you dare to run away, I will punish you and give you to the Orcs.”

Gilian shivered and drank the mana potions quickly. When she had enough mana, she used her magic, and a portal appeared.

“Do I go in first?” Gilian asked.

Lin Jie rolled his eyes and pulled her away. “No need! You are a witch. What if you run away in Moratti Shrine? Do you think I’m dumb?”

Lin Jie put Gilian back into the character card and stepped into the portal.
