CHAPTER 466: CHAPTER 453 CHANGES IN THE FIREBALL TECHNIQUE

Upon reaching the entrance of the mine, Han Qiwu parked the car and walked inside carrying Xiao Lai.

The little electric bird fluttered slowly overhead.

It knew it was about to become a roasted bird again.

Such high temperatures!

Are not meant for birds!

Realizing this, Han Qiwu stopped and took out some black grass root water, pouring a big gulp into Xiao Lai’s mouth.

Xiao Lai: "..... It’s not going and you’re giving it to me for what!"

After drinking the black grass root water, Xiao Lai quickly looked up at the little electric bird.

Your turn, oh.

The little electric bird reluctantly flew down.

"Swish."

Like a gust of wind, Han Qiwu caught the little electric bird, pried open its beak, and poured the black grass root water down its throat.

With the water’s special effects settling on the little electric bird, Han Qiwu patiently persuaded, "Good medicine is bitter but beneficial, this is good stuff."

The little electric bird: ".... I understand the reason, but I just don’t want to go."

Seeing the little electric bird and Xiao Lai’s reluctance, Han Qiwu resorted to the food bribe strategy again.

"Do well today, and you’ll get milk and mulberries when we get back."

After hearing its master’s words, Xiao Lai eagerly nodded.

On the other hand, the little electric bird, getting greedy, flapped its wings imitating Han Qiwu’s previous mint-eating act.

"Hiss hiss!"

Han Qiwu understood and asked with a smile, "Want some mint in yours too?"

"Tweet tweet!"

The little electric bird quickly nodded.

It had seen everything clearly from the tree just now, seeing the master almost fly after eating!

I want in!

Han Qiwu chuckled.

You young little bird, oh.

"Alright, perform well and I’ll give it to you tonight."

"Tweet tweet!"

Having received the promise, the little electric bird quickly carried Xiao Lai away from Han Qiwu’s arms and volunteered to form the Poison Liquid Radio combo.

Once on the cable car, Han Qiwu selected the eightieth level of the mine.

Let’s try to pass the eighty-fifth level today!

[You have arrived at the eightieth level of the mine]

Upon landing, Han Qiwu summoned Snow Armor and the Wind and Fire Wheels, instructing Xiao Lai and the little electric bird to wait in place while he quickly made his way to the nearby lava river.

Time to try fishing for lava eels.

What if there’s another one!

Upon reaching the side of the lava river, Han Qiwu carefully watched for a while, then threw in the Golden Sun to test it.

No fish.

Well, then let’s try next time.

Returning to the vicinity of the cable car, Han Qiwu, with his two pets in tow, headed towards the staircase.

[You have arrived at the eighty-first level of the mine]

Unfortunately, this time Han Qiwu did not find a ruby vein before him.

"That’s alright, no need to fuss over it."

Stepping on the Wind and Fire Wheels, Han Qiwu opened the map and found that there were no new Flame Iron Ore mine areas on this level, but plenty of regular mining spots.

"Quick battle, quickly unearth the staircase to the next level."

After setting the basic strategy, Han Qiwu grabbed the Flame Iron Cross Shovel, targeting some scattered iron ore points and rocks.

"First, let’s test the effect of breaking stones."

Aiming at a stone, Han Qiwu raised the Flame Iron Cross Shovel, starting to charge power.

He noticed that the upgraded Flame Iron Cross Shovel’s handle warmed slightly during charging, feeling quite comfortable to the touch.

After charging, the Flame Iron Cross Shovel heavily smashed down with the force of thunder.

"Crash."

The light red stone shattered into pieces, transforming into collectible stones upon hitting the ground.

[Stone]×3

[Iron Ore]×1

"Such a small stone only needed one hit? So powerful?" Han Qiwu was ecstatic.

This significantly increased the efficiency of mining, indeed.

The previous Copper Cross Shovel took three hits to break small stones.

After upgrading, it took only one!

Moreover, this hit even triggered the charging effect, yielding an iron ore from the stone.

Delightful.

Let’s also test the iron ore veins.

Han Qiwu aimed at a mining spot, similarly charging up before slamming down.

"Boom!"

The iron ore vein shattered instantly, turning into iron ore upon hitting the ground.

[Iron Ore]×2.

Han Qiwu looked happily at the Flame Iron Cross Shovel in his hand, "This is satisfying, one hit breaks the mining spot too."

Excavate!

In just a little over ten minutes, Han Qiwu had cleared out all the scattered mining spots in that small area.

After picking up the ores, Han Qiwu, while helplessly giving black grass root water to both Xiao Lai and the little electric bird, lamented, "Why hasn’t the staircase appeared yet."

Hovering in mid-air, the little electric bird continually stuck out its tongue, observing the surroundings.

Suddenly, it noticed three or four dark shadows rushing towards its master.

"Tweet tweet!"

Hearing the little electric bird’s warning, Han Qiwu quickly turned around, switching to hold the ice staff.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak"

Before the shadows could approach, just from its sound, Han Qiwu had an inkling.

Could it be rats?

A few seconds later, four scrawny black-red mice charged at Han Qiwu, their eyes gleaming with a red light.

"Tsk, tsk, look at this heat, it’s shriveled the mice."

Han Qiwu clicked his tongue, maneuvering back on the Wind and Fire Wheels to test the Fireball Technique’s maximum range effectiveness.

Seeing its master’s actions, Xiao Lai promptly spat poison, slowing the four shriveled mice.

Having inflicted damage, Han Qiwu then saw the attributes of these mice.

[Lava Mouse]

[Level: 82]

[Attack Methods: Bite, Charge, Tail Whip]

[Note: Lava Mice live in very harsh environments]

"No ranged attacks?" Han Qiwu murmured as he charged.

Just as he finished his sentence, the four slowed Lava Mice quickly turned and whipped their long, thin tails towards Han Qiwu.

"Snap"

The tiny tails even made a splitting sound in the air.

Getting hit by this could surely leave a blood mark.

"Dream on."

Seeing the distance was just right, Han Qiwu effortlessly cast the Fireball Technique.

After casting, the air before him suddenly became scorching, with two basketball-sized fireballs materializing instantly, heading for the four Lava Mice.

"Two fireballs?" Han Qiwu was surprised.

Was it because the flame amplification percentage was too high, creating an extra fireball?

The two fireballs, one after the other, collided with the Lava Mice’s tails.

"Sizzle"

A slight sound of burning emerged four times.

The Lava Mice’s tails were gone.

These tails failed to even slightly delay the fireballs.

"Squeak, squeak."

Seeing this, the Lava Mice quickly turned to run.

The little electric bird standing guard nearby was displeased.

If you run, how will master scold me?

Freeze!

Four bolts of lightning struck down, paralyzing the Lava Mice.

By this time, the fireballs had already arrived.

"Boom boom!"

The two fireballs exploded simultaneously, instantly turning the Lava Mice into white light.

Seeing the results, Han Qiwu nodded with satisfaction.

The Fireball Technique could cause such high damage even to creatures living in volcanic environments.

Imagine how much more powerful it would be in other settings!

"I’ll try to gather more equipment that enhances flame amplification! Assemble a chain fireball attack."

"Bang, bang, bang"
