Chapter 291: Chapter 180: Re-entering the Red Lotus Demon Cave Instance, Gathering Alien Metal Minerals (5k)_2
The next second, Su Xing appeared in an unfamiliar environment.
The air temperature abruptly rose by more than fifty degrees, directly reaching a high temperature close to eighty degrees Celsius.
Su Xing frowned slightly, feeling the heat wave coming from the air.
Of course, such a temperature naturally had no effect on Su Xing.
“So, this is the Red Lotus Dungeon?”
Su Xing observed the surrounding environment. All around were crimson rocks heated by the high temperature, and touching them felt scorching.
The space inside the cave was not large, barely enough for Su Xing to stand.
Su Xing looked forward and saw that there was a bottomless cave beneath his feet, seemingly leading straight to the depths of the earth.
“According to the previous simulation text… the depths of this Red Lotus Dungeon should contain an Inferno Demon. Defeat it and go further down… to find that Alien Metal mining area.”
Su Xing pondered. His use of the immersive simulation this time was to practice in advance for the actual exploration in reality.
Su Xing hesitated no more. With a thought, he simultaneously activated his Origin Force armor and Protective Gang Qi, enveloping himself in them.
“Well then… let’s explore deeper.”
Su Xing channeled his Spiritual Power and swiftly flew into the cave beneath his feet.
The deeper he went into the cave, the higher the surrounding temperature became.
After about ten minutes, Su Xing estimated he had reached a depth of several tens of kilometers below the ground.
At this moment, the surrounding temperature was also rising, from eighty or ninety degrees to over five hundred degrees Celsius.
“This Red Lotus Dungeon is indeed bottomless…”
Su Xing frowned slightly, accelerating his speed to continue exploring deeper.
After more than an hour, Su Xing estimated he was at least a few hundred kilometers away from the surface.
By now, it had already become dark and there was no light, only a high temperature of one to two thousand degrees Celsius. Ordinary creatures could not survive here at all.
Along the way, Su Xing actually encountered some special monsters that lived in such extreme high temperatures.
Most of these monsters were at the Grandmaster Level. Su Xing only needed to slightly stimulate his Vital Energy to easily kill them.
“I am already a few hundred kilometers from the surface… Just how deep is this Red Lotus Dungeon?”
Su Xing sighed. Could it be that this dungeon is a thousand kilometers deep from the surface?
Su Xing’s speed was getting faster and faster, and he killed ordinary monsters in an instant along the way.
After several hours, Su Xing felt that the space around him was becoming more spacious, and the surrounding temperature had reached an astonishing three thousand degrees Celsius.
Faint light emanated from special minerals in the stone walls.
Su Xing slightly slowed down his speed and unleashed his Divine Sense like a tide.
Sure enough, he sensed an extremely powerful monster a few thousand meters away.
“Is that… the Inferno Demon?”
Su Xing was momentarily stunned.
In his Divine Sense, the Inferno Demon somewhat resembled a hellish demon from Western mythology.
With horns on its head, its body made of magma, and two blazing flames in its eye sockets.
Towering at a height of ten meters, exuding a malevolent aura from head to toe.
“Judging from its aura… this Inferno Demon indeed possessed the strength of a Martial Emperor at the peak level…”
Su Xing frowned slightly. He felt that the Red Lotus Dungeon environment was extremely harsh for common profession users.
“With temperatures of several thousand degrees and thin oxygen… even Grandmaster Level profession users may not survive in such a place…”
Su Xing had a bad premonition.
In such a harsh environment, low-rank profession users could not enter, meaning Su Xing could not bring in a large number of people to mine the minerals.
He couldn’t possibly ask Heavenly King Level experts to mine minerals, could he?
This… seemed somewhat unrealistic.
“Never mind… Let’s deal with this Inferno Demon first, and think about mining the Alien Metal later.”
Su Xing made up his mind and swiftly flew towards the Inferno Demon.
“Roar! Roar! Roar~”
It seemed to sense Su Xing’s rapid approach. The Inferno Demon roared loudly at Su Xing, continuously beating its chest as if declaring its ownership of the territory…
However!
Su Xing acted as if he saw nothing. Upon rapidly approaching the Inferno Demon, he directly wrapped his fists in Origin Force.
Without any flashy moves!
A terrifying punch was unleashed!
Boom!
A force of a million tons directly struck the Inferno Demon’s chest with a punch.
The two blazing flames in the Inferno Demon’s eye sockets slowly extinguished…
With just one punch, the peak-level Martial Emperor Inferno Demon was dead!
“Whew~”
“With the current power paired with Origin Force wrapping… nothing below the legendary level can withstand a single punch!”
Su Xing’s lips curved upwards slightly, then he swiftly extended his Divine Sense to check if there were any hidden enemies around.
After confirming there were no enemies, Su Xing entered the Inferno Demon’s lair and indeed found a bottomless cave several meters wide.
“This cave… should lead to the Magma Pool, right?”
Su Xing murmured.
In the previous simulation, he had bathed in the Magma Pool, attempting to break his limits but unfortunately, he failed.
And that Alien Metal mining area was near the Magma Pool.
Su Xing made up his mind and moved toward the magma cave.
As Su Xing approached the magma layer, the surrounding temperature also increased dramatically.
Soon it soared to over five thousand degrees Celsius.
Su Xing’s frown deepened. At such high temperatures, even profession users below the Heavenly King Level could not survive.
Soon, Su Xing reached the magma layer.
It was a relatively open and flat rocky region.
Before him was a magma pool emitting heat, and beside the magma pool were many black rocks.
Within the rocks, some crimson special minerals were mixed.
They turned out to be Alien Metals!
