"Friend, what happened?"

Mora stuck its head out of the Lake of Death and warily checked her surroundings. After ensuring that no one was around, it looked at Lorne and asked about the situation.

"You want to know?"

Lorne looked at it meaningfully and extended a finger, "A thousand pearls from the bottom of the lake."

"We're friends. Can you give us a discount?"

"It's because we're friends that I only want this price. This is a secret regarding the crystal coffin. If it were anyone else, they would need to pay 3,000 crystals at least!"

"Alright."

Hearing the crystal coffin, Mora could not sit still anymore. It took out a thousand pearls and handed them to Lorne.

"In the crystal coffin, there's the corpse of a mermaid."

"And?"

Mora went into the cave and saw that the crystal coffin had been opened. It did not see any mermaid.

But Lorne did not answer. Instead, he extended a finger. After Mora handed over the money, he explained, "Then, this mermaid revived and brought me here."

Lorne paused again, but Mora gave him a pitiful look. "I'll give you the last of my savings. Speak clearly."

The last batch that Mora had given him had more than two thousand pearls at the bottom of the lake. Lorne was not so greedy. He directly told it what had happened.

Upon hearing about the Abyss Ruler, Mora was immediately stunned.

It remembered that when it had been bombing the crystal coffin, if it had really opened it at that time, the other party might have killed it.

After all, that was the Naga Queen with the most fiery temper in history!

"Let's go, friend. You have to help me do something."

"What is it?"

"I want to enter the ancient ruins on the mountain over there, but there's a group of [Fire Elemental Giants] blocking my way. I hope you can clear them."

Lorne pointed in the direction of the Cold Desolate Dragon City.

It was already late. He had to quickly enter the Cold Desolate Dragon City and sweep through it. Then, he would return to Iron Skull City and find the Dragon of Light to submit the mission.

"So it's those little things. No problem. I can kill them easily."

Mora said, "However, I can't enter that Desolate City. I can only help you clean up the monsters at the entrance. As for what else is inside, I can't help you."

"You can't go in?" Lorne was slightly surprised.

"Yes, that Desolate City has a special barrier that we can't enter. I think only adventurers can enter."

Mora smiled, "If not for that, that place would have been wiped out long ago."

"I see."

Lorne was overjoyed.

If that Desolate City could only be entered by adventurers, then he would definitely be the first person to find this place. After all, the surrounding map was so dangerous, and no one could come here.

Moreover, the Cold Desolate Dragon City had not been destroyed by the monsters. There must be an extremely rich amount of resources inside. It just so happened that he had the Dragon's Treasure Vault on him. This time, he had to wipe out the entire Cold Desolate Dragon City.

While they were thinking, the two of them arrived at the entrance of the Cold Desolate Dragon City.

"Friend, watch my performance next."

The One-Eyed Giant Snake coiled outside the door and let out a loud roar.

The next moment, the Fire Elemental Giants in the tunnel rushed out. The aggro between the monsters was much farther than that of the players. All Mora needed to do was stay outside and attract all the Fire Elemental Giants.

When they rushed out, the giant snake's body immediately twisted. Its body was extremely huge, so the damage from just its tail was extremely terrifying.

The Fire Elemental Giants hit by its tail were sent flying and slammed into the wall.

Although one attack could not kill these monsters, that was not all. It was simply playing a game with them.

After waving its tail a few times, Mora finally lost interest. It opened its mouth and spat out surging energy, causing the fire elemental giants to retreat.

Under this wave of attacks, many monsters' health was already depleted, and some even fell to the ground.

Ding!

"Congratulations on assisting [One-Eyed Giant Snake, Mora] in killing a Fire Elemental Giant. You received 10,000 (+25,000) experience points (+35,000)!"

The monster fell, and Lorne gained a portion of the experience. He had to admit that the system was too friendly.

Of course, this was all thanks to the long-range damage of "Small Artillery". Even if it did not deal any damage, as long as he entered a combat state with the other party, he would obtain a portion of the experience.

Because the two of them had 50,000 affinity points, the intimate relationship between the two would give them this special effect.

Therefore, Lorne was very happy now. He had done almost nothing, but he had obtained a large amount of experience points.

A Fire Elemental Giant could give him 70,000 experience points. This was countless times faster than farming small monsters.

"What's this?"

Lorne discovered that after a Fire Elemental Giant died, a ball of red gems would appear on the ground.

It emitted a light as if it was burning.

After the battle stopped, Lorne stepped forward to clean up the battlefield. He put the countless gold coins and the red gems into his bag.

[Fire Elemental Crystal]

Quality: Epic

Effect: Can be used to forge and defend city buildings. It contains rich fire elemental energy. It is a rare material that is very popular among craftsmen.

————

This thing was indeed dropped by a high-level monster. Its quality had reached the Epic stage.

There was no need for Lorne to think too much. All he had to do was pick up the treasures.

This thing would definitely be very popular in the future.

What was worth mentioning was that Lorne's [Monster Merging Simulator] had obtained a fire elemental material from the Fire Elemental Giants.

As a material dropped from a high-level monster, if he created a pet in the future, the effect would definitely be very outstanding.

As for why he did not use it to upgrade 'Venom'?

Lorne did not feel the need.

Because the quality of Venom could no longer keep up with the team, and the damage output was very similar to that of Small Artillery, it did not have any presence in the team.

At the same time, considering that the monsters in the main city were more powerful now, Lorne wanted to use these monsters as the foundation and create stronger pets.

"I should wait until the mission is completed before thinking about my new pets."
