111 Chapter 109: Level 18 Boss

[Ding~ Your troop has defeated a group of magic puppets and won a small-scale battle. You have gained 20,000 experience points.]

[Ding~ The cursed pharaoh has experienced a large number of battles. Its level has increased. It is currently level 6.]

The system notification sounded, and Richard felt increasingly at ease.

Twenty thousand experience points? How many gathering points in the wild would he have to clear to get that?

The magic puppets all over the place made him more excited.

Gemstones powered the magic puppets as the energy core. These puppets all over the place could get at least a few thousand units of a gem.

It was too wonderful.

Richard immediately gave the order.

"Sever the magic puppets and take out the gemstones inside..."

The magic puppet was irreparable after it was damaged. So, there is no such thing as having 10,000 bottles of drinks in one hand and selling them in the other.

Based on the current situation, the final profit of this ruin might not be worse than that of the dungeon.

While Richard thought, he looked at the three passageways with no more magic puppets.

With a wave of his hand, he divided the remaining two into three teams and sent them out to explore.

Richard's eyes lit up.

"These cannon fodder soldiers are starkly helpful. I'll have Gunter accumulate more in the future.

"If there's a chance in the future, I'll have Gray learn how to recruit mummies as well... the white whoring characteristic of the undead is much more comfortable."

The soldiers who had whored for free did not feel any heartache even after they died. Using them to scout and act as cannon fodder was indeed not bad.

Not long after, all the bloody-colored mummies returned the same way they came.

They signaled it was safe inside.

Richard nodded and let Gray lead the team to investigate the specific situation.

Gray returned safely and handed a map after waiting for about ten minutes.

"Lord, I found the architectural layout of this ruin at the other end of the passage."

[Resplendent Wizard Tower, Arcane Hall Architectural Layout]

[Level: Ordinary]

[Description: This map records the layout of Arcana Hall.]

Richard opened the map, which was a bit blurry because of the yellow hue. Common language recorded the buildings.

"We are in the Arcana Hall of the Resplendent Wizard Tower. It is the area that specializes in making magic puppets.

"After we pass through the guards on the outside, we can continue to move forward. There are several building areas ahead.

"In the deepest part, there are warehouses that store a large number of construction materials for magic puppets... The exit is also here."

Richard's heart pounded after he looked carefully at it a few times.

"Good heavens, a warehouse that stores magic materials...? How many good things are here?"

But it was a pity. Most of the map's construction areas were not marked. And there was only a simple route.

Otherwise, it would be even better to search for the buildings that store the treasures would be even better.

Dismantling the magic puppets was completed after a full hour.

As the energy source, the magic puppets consumed different amounts of gemstones. Those that consumed the most left with only one or two units, while those rich left with three or four.

In the end, Richard obtained a total of 3000 units of gemstones.

He made a massive fortune.

A miniature gemstone mine only had 100 units of reserves. This harvest was equivalent to mining 30 mini gemstone mines.

Of course, if he did not have the strength to rush in rashly, there might not even be any bones left.

The vast number of magic puppets that came in waves like a tide few words could not describe.

After Richard consolidated the troops, he made sure there were no additional gains in the hall while he was in high spirits and led the army into the central passage.

Soldiers had already explored the other two passages. The magic puppets were stored here.

There was nothing left after the magic puppets were cleaned up.

Richard entered the magic puppet manufacturing room after he passed through the 100-meter-long passage.

The hall was 40 meters high and more than 500 meters in diameter.

Messy puppet parts piled up all over the place. One pile after another, towered like a small mountain.

The scene was quite spectacular.

How many parts did it take to fill up such an enormous space?

And some of the empty areas were left behind by the puppets after they left.

There was a moldy smell in the air, abandoned for a long time. Several puppet parts could not withstand the corrosion of time and lost their magic power.

Some old and rusted steels also added a bit of a ruined aura to the scene.

Richard could not help but feel regrets after looking at it carefully. It was all useless now.

If it was undamaged, it could form a troop that could wipe out all the lord players.

As Richard looked at the map, he led his troop through the mechanical fragments left behind by the Resplendent Wizard Tower.

Passing through a 20-meter-long passage was only enough to enter the second building complex.

Smelting room.

All kinds of magic and metal materials were smelted in this place.

There are dozens of giant furnaces more than 10 meters high tall in the smelting room hundreds of meters wide.

Below each furnace were four giant bellows with openings aimed at the bottom.

These furnaces had long since shut down, and only rare ores were scattered on the ground.

The magic array on the wall had also become dim...

The most eye-catching part was the center of the furnace engraved with countless runes and was as tall as 30 meters.

Perhaps, even dragons could be smelted.

The magnificent scene of this ruin made people sigh with emotion.

Richard immediately arranged for the troop to enter and search after he regained his composure.

There were many good things here. The ores on the ground were pronouncedly high-grade goods.

But the troop had not dispersed yet.

'Rumble!'

The open passage behind suddenly closed and turned into a wall.

Even the crack in the door disappeared without a trace.

The moment the passage disappeared. The copper furnaces shut down for god knows how many years and suddenly burned up.

'Huff! Huff! Huff!'

The sound of a violent wind could be heard.

The massive bellows below the furnaces kept sounding. They blew a large amount of air into the furnaces.

It caused dozens of furnaces to burst into flames in an instant.

The burning flames rose to a high temperature and began to melt the steel in the furnaces.

Richard's expression changed.

He sensed an exaggerated danger in those copper furnaces.

"Leave this place immediately!"

He led the troop to the exit of the smelting room.

However, just as they reached the entrance, the furnace closest to them suddenly sprayed several meters of molten iron.

The hot molten iron fell from the sky and quickly turned black, but the terrifying heat made sizzling sounds as it fell to the ground.

Richard's eyes were sharp, and he saw a terrifying life form covered in flames that crawled out of the furnace.

And this was only the beginning.

In the next second, dozens of fireballs crawled out of the furnace that had been ignited.

Each of them exuded a powerful aura. The high temperature of the burning was enough to melt everything.

Richard's eyelids twitched.

"Retreat into the tunnel!!!"

When the troop rushed into the next tunnel, he opened the attributes panel of the fire monsters.

[Description: Elemental life forms. Their bodies are burning with flames.]

[Rare 1-star, level 6, elemental life forms are immune to physical damage...]

The temperature in the air instantly skyrocketed.

Xina seemed to have thought of something at this moment and hurriedly spoke.

"This wizard tower captured these elemental life forms from the elemental plane to refine magic materials. With so many fire elements, there might even be a fire elemental lord..."

Before she could finish his sentence.

In the central area, the 30-meter-tall giant furnace splashed red molten iron. The scene looked like a volcanic eruption.

A giant life form more than 15 meters in size crawled out from the furnace.

Flames burned on its body.

A terrifying majesty instantly enveloped the surroundings, as if a mountain that was hundreds of thousands of meters tall had collapsed.

It was exceedingly terrifying.

Richard subconsciously opened his status panel and gazed. His breathing froze.

[Fire Elemental Lord]

[Boss Unit]

[Level: 18]

Richard was bereft of speech.

His scalp tingled.
