Artificer Adventure Guide

"You are level 4?"

Walking quickly, Carl looked at Hope standing on the bank of the lava river and asked with concern.

Hope's action just now scared Carl. She was only a few steps away from the lava river.

If she didn't stop, she would fall into the lava river.

After a few seconds of reaction, Hope's eyes regained their brilliance.

"Carl! I seem to sense my spiritual core! I think... I seem to be able to drive the spirituality I have accumulated!"

Physical professions are not always unable to sense their professional spiritual cores. As long as the perception or intelligence attributes reach a certain standard, they can also see their experience bars like spellcasters.

But in general, most of them can only do this after level 5.

Of course, there are also people who can't sense their professional spiritual cores, but it is still quite rare in the continent of Khorvaire.

Giving Hope a thumbs up, Carl was about to praise her, but was interrupted by the flying battle axe.

Catching the battle axe, Hope pointed at the lava river and said:

"It seems that the things that guy dropped can't be taken back."

In the orange-yellow lava river, a group of fire snakes are surrounding the elemental core left by the fire lizard.

They soon formed a huge snake ball in the lava river, and the pure fire element energy overflowed from the elemental core, becoming the nutrients for their evolution to a higher level.

"Forget it, just pay attention next time. I feel that if I kill two more of these, I can be promoted to the next level."

Knocking on the helmet, Carl endured the soreness between his eyebrows and spoke with all his strength.

Continuous casting is very energy-consuming. Carl also copied a lot of information from the soul of the fire lizard.

He just wanted to go back to the giant mine car and sleep immediately.

"Okay, let's go! Let's go home!"

Although his body was a little sore from the previous battle, Hope's mood was unusually high.

Following the underwater tunnel back to the giant mine cart, the two of them simply dealt with the bodies of several fire snakes they had harvested, and then went to bed.

…

On the second level of the dream world, Carl looked at the memory images floating in the air and was analyzing them frame by frame.

“This should be the memory when he was still in the state of a fire snake, this is the memory of the fire element plane, this…”

The memories obtained from the fire lizard were not coherent. After a simple arrangement, Carl found that the life experience of this fire lizard could be roughly divided into two stages.

The first was his experience in the fire element plane, and the second was after he was summoned to this dungeon.

Yes, this fire lizard was not a native of this dungeon, but was "tricked" from the fire element plane by a group of goblins through the alien portal.

This discovery cheered Carl up.

Because if the other party can open the portal to the fire element plane, then they can definitely open the portal to the main plane.

It's just a different coordinate.

But what puzzled Carl was that this kind of portal to another world should have high theoretical knowledge and spellcasting requirements.

And the goblins in the fire lizard's memory didn't seem as powerful as Carl thought.

After arriving at the dungeon, this fire lizard escaped from the goblin tribe, then jumped into a lava river on the surface and swam here.

If the goblin tribe had a powerful wizard, this kind of thing would never happen.

It is worth mentioning that the fire snakes in the cave are hybrids of fire lizards and giant pythons that originally lived in other caves, and are considered half-elemental life.

To be honest, every time Carl sees something like this, he feels very strange.

Because there is indeed a race called elemental races in this world.

It's just that elemental races are humanoid creatures, while this fire lizard creates snakes.

"According to the memory of this fire lizard, the goblin tribe that controls the portal to another world should be to the west of the dungeon..."

As Carl muttered to himself, a simulated map immediately appeared in front of him.

The memory from the salamander marked a lava river leading to the goblin tribe on the map, and then the map showed the locations of the cave and mushroom forest where Carl was currently.

Most of the map was a dark unknown area, but it did point out a general direction for Carl.

"It would be great if these guys were nearby."

Carl shook his head and sighed after complaining about this.

This idea was a bit too shameless.

Judging from the approximate location on the map, the other party was quite far away from here.

What kind of crisis could make them come here over mountains and ridges? To provide Carl with the technology to return to the main plane?

Although he had obtained the biological plug-in of the heart flayer larva, Carl was still somewhat self-aware of his luck.

"Forget it, let's go to the lava cave to train and upgrade tomorrow. If Hope and I both reach level 6, we can find a way to escape the forest after returning to the surface."

With a snap of his fingers, the map was instantly moved to the side.

Carl raised his hands and constructed magic patterns in mid-air.

This is the magic pattern used to seal elemental life with the Khyber Dragon Crystal. Carl hopes to encounter another fire lizard in the next hunt and then seal it.

…

In the next few days, Carl and Hope began to concentrate on hunting.

After killing the fire lizard, the source of the fire snakes, no one in the entire lava cave was a match for Carl and Hope.

However, the offspring left by the other party over the years were simply outrageous. Carl and Hope hunted for three consecutive days, but the fire snakes in the lava cave did not decrease at all.

It was as if they had just killed one, and another fire snake would refresh nearby after a while.

On the fourth day of the hunting operation, a fire lizard appeared in the lava cave.

The other party's size was obviously not as exaggerated as the previous one, but it also reached the standard of large size.

Hope guessed that the other party had absorbed the elemental core that fell into the lava river before and transformed. Carl felt that this guess was quite reliable.

The fire lizard was extremely irritable, which could be seen from the fire snake.

The two had experience this time. As soon as they attracted hatred, they lured the fire lizard to a place far away from the lava river.

Carl set a trap at the target location in advance. After great efforts, the two finally sealed the fire lizard into the dragon crystal.

The fire lizard that transformed from the semi-elemental fire snake has completely turned into an elemental life and lost its actual form, so after the seal, nothing was left of the opponent.

Every time they fought with the fire lizard, Carl and Hope's spirituality increased significantly after the battle.

After killing the fourth fire lizard, both of them were promoted to level 5.

When the number of fire lizards hunted reached 16, Carl finally promoted again and reached the key node of level 3 magician and level 3 warrior.
