Chapter 210: Chapter 147: Feeling Uncomfortable? Drink More Magma (Two Chapters)_2

"Buzz!"

Over a dozen Monkey Avatars appeared in the mine.

"Brothers Monkey, I’m counting on you."

The Monkey Avatars nodded and grinned, "Got it."

With a flick of their figures, the Monkey Avatars split into even weaker clones. The long sticks in their hands transformed into shovels, and they began their mining operation.

At the same time, Groot leaped out of the Space Gate, staring blankly at Qin Shou with his wide eyes.

"Groot, the usual routine."

"Mm-hmm."

Groot nodded, and his fingers extended a mass of vibrant green vines that rapidly spread across the cave walls.

In no time, the vines began to retract, leaving behind Earth Core Energy Crystals, which continuously landed in front of Qin Shou.

Opening the System Space, Qin Shou lounged on a rocking chair, humming a tune as he cheerfully manipulated Star Power to toss the Earth Core Energy Crystals into the System Space.

Cha-ching.

Before long, the communicator displayed a video feed of a group of miners approaching.

"Pack it up!"

Qin Shou jumped to his feet, storing the Beast Cultivation unit and all the Earth Core Energy Crystals into his space. He sprinted deeper into the mine.

He switched locations several times. In just three hours, the System Space was filled with over a thousand Earth Core Energy Crystals.

Sigh, I don’t feel like leaving!

Qin Shou scratched his chin, pondering whether to stay another day.

No, two more days.

Fine, three days, and I’ll quit for sure!

Otherwise, these emptied-out mines will easily arouse suspicion.

After all, this isn’t Luoyun City; this site operates under the jurisdiction of the Beast Cultivation Main City.

Don’t get greedy.

And thus, an enjoyable day came to an end.

Returning to the surface, Qin Shou handed his space device to the staff.

The staff glanced at the hundreds of Earth Core Energy Crystals inside the device and smiled contentedly.

"As expected of a Diamond Four Stars, your speed is far superior to regular miners."

"Heh."

Qin Shou rolled his eyes. Beast Cultivation Main City had obviously issued this task intending for students to guard the mining site.

After all, no one knew when underground monsters might appear in the caves.

The Guard Team at the Volcano Islands was mediocre at best. Their captain, Tu Shan, was only a Vajra Five-star, absolutely no match for tougher monsters.

As for why the protection task was disguised as a mining one, it probably stemmed from someone’s twisted sense of humor.

Just as he thought about this, the ground faintly trembled, and thick black smoke erupted from the towering volcano behind him.

"Don’t tell me I jinxed it?" Qin Shou’s lip twitched.

Without warning, a swarm of miners rushed out of the caves, shouting in panic.

"This is bad! Someone’s dug through the Molten Lava Layer! The monsters in the volcano are waking up!"

"What? They breached the Molten Lava Layer? Which idiot did it?" cursed the staff.

Qin Shou: "..."

Probably wasn’t me.

"No idea."

"Is anyone hurt?"

"No, although we are only in the Newborn Realm, with the boost of Star Power, we’re not slow. Everyone got out safely."

Just as the words were spoken, the volcano erupted, spewing boiling magma skyward, accompanied by rolling black smoke.

"Screech!!"

As lava burst forth, gigantic molten birds shot out of the crater, their forms emerging amid the thick smoke.

"Flame Demon Radon!"

"Oh no, they’ve awakened..."

"Quick, retreat! Notify Beast Cultivation Main City... Qin Shou! You’re from the Main City, please call for reinforcements!" the staff urged worriedly.

Qin Shou looked up at the Radon flock, their wings spanning roughly forty meters each. Waving dismissively, he said, "It’s just a bunch of Horror Six-star Radons. No need to bother anyone; I got this."

"You’ve got this?"

The staff eyed him skeptically.

Qin Shou said, "Take everyone to the shelter. Once I’m done, you can come back."

"But..."

"No buts. Even if you call someone, it’ll take at least half an hour for anyone at the Unbreakable Realm to show up. By then, you’re all toast."

The staff wasn’t sure what "toast" meant but figured it wasn’t good, likely akin to "wiped out."

"Then, Qin Shou, we’ll leave this to you."

The staff bolted toward the shelter, signaling for the Guard Team to hurry over.

...

"Screech!!"

Dozens of Radons circled high in the sky, growing even more excited as magma rain began to fall.

"Screech!"

One Radon targeted a lone figure on the ground, suddenly diving with talons outstretched, as if ready to toy with its prey.

Radons, being part of the Ancient Titan Clan, didn’t eat humans.

If they attacked humans, it was purely out of playful curiosity, wanting some "fun."

But just as it swooped down, a Space Gate opened beside the figure, and a Three-headed Dragon Monster leapt out, startling the Radon instantly.

"Screech..."

Oh no, oh no, Mother said if we ever run into something with three heads or glowing dorsal fins, we should flee as far as possible!

These two things are terrifying.

Flapping its wings haphazardly, it hastily fled.

The other Radons, upon seeing the greedy snake, screeched apprehensively and vanished into the black smoke.

On the ground, Qin Shou and the greedy snake exchanged bewildered glances.

Greedy Snake: "I haven’t even roared yet; why are they running?"

Qin Shou: "You haven’t even roared yet; why are they running?"

Scratching his head, Qin Shou activated his communicator and dialed the task hall’s customer service.

"Hey there, beautiful big sister. Radons showed up at the Volcano Islands, so mining’s out of the question. What now?" Qin Shou inquired.

Initially composed, the customer service representative burst into a radiant smile upon hearing this.

"Congratulations, student! You’ve triggered a hidden quest. The new task has been sent to your communicator. Please check it."

Qin Shou: "..."

That tone sounds suspiciously familiar.

Ending the call, Qin Shou opened the task list.

[Task: Force the Flame Demon Radons back into the volcano.]

[Note: Do not kill any Radons, or the task will fail, and you’ll be barred from taking tasks for one year.]

[Reward: One-month access to the Earth Core Energy Pool.]

Looking at this "hidden task," Qin Shou’s face darkened.

Not allowed to kill a single Radon, with failure leading to a one-year ban on tasks?

What sort of hidden task is this?

This is outright trolling me, isn’t it?

"Clang..."

Qin Shou furiously slammed down his shovel...

...then leapt onto the greedy snake’s back.

"Take me to the skies!" Qin Shou commanded.

"Roar..."

The greedy snake unfurled its wings and soared into the black smoke.

As it ascended, Qin Shou pulled out the Radon Transformation Card and pressed it against his body.

"Screech!"

Qin Shou transformed into a slightly smaller Radon, swiftly approaching the flock.

"Screech..."

Excited chirps came from the Radons upon seeing a presumed "kin" flying toward them.

"Look, is that our little brother?"

"Never seen him before; probably not."

"He kinda looks different from us."

"What’s different?"

"Not as good-looking as us."

Qin Shou: "..."

Now transformed into a Radon, Qin Shou could fully comprehend their bird chatter.

"Screech..."

He let out a cry and dove straight into the flock.

"Big bros, run! There’s a monster... I mean, something terrifying chasing me!" Qin Shou shrieked.

"Crackle..."

As if to validate his words, lightning rolled through the black smoke, and the greedy snake wrapped itself in golden Gravity Energy.

Brilliant beams of Golden Light shone forth from the greedy snake’s body, and under its radiance, the Radons were overtaken by primal fear. Screeching wildly, they bolted toward the crater.

The greedy snake had clearly mastered the "aura of intimidation" from the Illusion Lake Dragon Carp.

"Run! The three-headed demon is here..."

"Flee!"

"Mother was right; anything with three heads is terrifying..."

"Let’s go wake up Mother!"

"No, no! If we disturb Mother, we’ll be in trouble ourselves..."

From his "bird-eye" view, Qin Shou squinted slightly. Mother?

So there was an even stronger Radon on this Volcano Island!

No wonder Beast Cultivation Main City forbade slaying these Radons.

Hurting these little ones would surely anger the dormant Mother Radon in the volcano.

And judging by the precautions, this Mother Radon was no ordinary creature; otherwise, it wouldn’t have the Main City so wary.

Still, despite the apparent presence of at least a Nightmare-Level monster slumbering in the volcano, Beast Cultivation Main City had refused to abandon their mining operations of the Earth Core Energy Crystals.

The Earth Core Energy Ore deposits here must be far richer than anyone could imagine.

As Qin Shou contemplated staying a few more days, he suddenly felt a tightening around his neck.

"Screech..."

A Radon clamped its jaws around Qin Shou’s nape, dragging him into the volcano. The other Radons chirped in excitement.

"This guy must be an idiot! Instead of escaping with us, he stood there like a fool, begging to be eaten!"

"Exactly! Let’s call him Second Fool!"

Qin Shou: "..."

You’re the fool. Your whole family’s... Blub, blub...

Qin Shou was pulled into the volcano, accidentally swallowing a mouthful of magma.
