Chapter 293

"It's like starlight falling from the sky, very beautiful," Lin Moyu commented, "This skill is quite good for setting off fireworks."

Mu Xianxian blushed, "Sister Yeyu and the others often ask me to use this skill at night to watch as fireworks."

…

Lin Moyu couldn't help but laugh; he hadn't expected anyone to actually do that.

But come to think of it, it really was quite beautiful.

The starlight landed on the monsters, turning into mottled spots of light that glowed continuously.

Every monster had them, without exception.

These monsters looked at Mu Xianxian simultaneously, their eyes glowing red with anger.

Being targeted by so many monsters at once, Mu Xianxian was startled and zipped back to his side.

Even though she was already level 59, she couldn't withstand being targeted by so many monsters at the same time.

She would likely be killed instantly.

The monsters were already charging towards her, scaring her until her pretty face turned pale and she trembled.

Lin Moyu found it amusing; how could she be so timid? No wonder she was always so jumpy.

He summoned another Undead Legion.

The Lich General simultaneously cast its enhancement skill.

As the white light shot into the sky, the two Undead Legions and 260 Skeleton Mages focused their fire simultaneously.

— Seeking Flowers —

A level 33 Skeleton Mage had a spirit attribute of 98,000 without any status bonuses.

After the Lich General's status bonus, its attributes approached 130,000.

Although the skills were the same, their power had increased significantly compared to before level 30.

With 260 Skeleton Mages focusing their fire on a single monster, even without the Damage Curse, they killed the target instantly.

The moment the screams rang out.

Lin Moyu raised his hand, and the Curse shifted.

The Slow Curse transformed into the Damage Curse.

Skill: Corpse Explosion!

The sound of explosions erupted within the Earth Core world.

The immense sound reverberated through the canyon, echoing endlessly.

Mu Xianxian was so scared that she covered her ears, nearly falling to the ground.

This timidity… it really was too much.

Lin Moyu truly couldn't imagine how she had managed to reach level 59.

Lin Moyu cast Corpse Explosion several times in succession.

The explosions echoed back and forth in the canyon, lasting for several minutes before finally fading away.

A large amount of information popped up, and one by one, heart of the earth fragments appeared in his storage space.

…

There were 188 of them in total.

Every monster yielded two fragments.

Lin Moyu looked at Mu Xianxian with appreciation in his eyes.

No wonder the Collection Master was the most popular profession whenever one appeared.

People would rather bring one less damage dealer just to have a Collection Master in the party.

Running a Dungeon once could directly double the rewards.

Who wouldn't like that?

"No wonder…"

Lin Moyu murmured; if it were him, he would also be willing to recruit such a Collection Master.

Mu Xianxian finally lowered her hands and asked in a small voice, "Is it over?"

Lin Moyu replied, "That was just the first wave; there will be more in a moment."

Mu Xianxian let out an "Oh," and said, "Okay, I'll use it again in a moment."

The two continued walking deeper into the canyon, while the Skeleton Warriors had already moved ahead to continue luring monsters.

Lin Moyu asked with a hint of curiosity, "How did you level up to 59?"

Mu Xianxian answered honestly, "Sister Yeyu and the others took me to level up. I usually don't have to fight monsters; I just stay in the team and use the Collection Skill."

Lin Moyu found it even stranger, "But I noticed your combat awareness doesn't seem bad. In the Core Area, you knew exactly how many monsters you could handle."

Mu Xianxian said softly, "That's because of my talent."

He hadn't expected her to have a talent.

A talented Professional, combined with an extremely rare legendary profession…

The heavens really favored her.

"What talent is it?"

Mu Xianxian trusted Lin Moyu deeply and didn't hide anything, "Battle Instinct. I know how many monsters I can fight, how many I should fight, and I don't need to deliberately study or practice various combat skills; I can master them naturally."

…

Lin Moyu was slightly speechless.

If this talent were on a combat-type Professional, it would be simply perfect.

But on a timid Collection Master like Mu Xianxian…

He glanced at the long-handled war hammer on her shoulder.

Well, it's not bad either.

Regardless, she could be considered half a combat-type Professional.

She might not compare to rare or legendary ones.

But compared to ordinary warriors, she wasn't bad at all.

Her four-dimensional attributes were actually quite strong.

Chapter 271: heart of the earth, Plant-type BOSS

The terrain of the [Earth Core] Dungeon could be seen as a canyon or a giant cave.

One could walk straight to the end without a single turn.

The types of monsters inside were bizarre, seemingly all mutations of various animals.

Larger bodies, hardened skin, and increased strength.

Lin Moyu commanded the Skeleton Warriors to lure out the monsters hiding in every corner.

Each time there were eighty or ninety, he would have them gather, let Mu Xianxian use the Mass Collection Art, and then clear them out.

In this way, his rewards directly doubled.

Gradually, the two became a bit more familiar with each other.

Apart from being a bit timid, Mu Xianxian seemed to have no flaws.

Even though she was already level 59 and no longer an innocent little girl who knew nothing of the world.

She remained incredibly pure.

Her experiences were simple, and her personality and thoughts were also very simple, like a blank sheet of paper.

After another batch of monsters was dealt with, the Skeleton Warriors went to lure new ones.

Mu Xianxian had lost her initial panic; starting from the second wave, she had adapted to Lin Moyu's mass-killing style.

The Battle Instinct talent played its part, giving Mu Xianxian excellent adaptability in combat.

As they walked, Lin Moyu asked, "Why did you build a tombstone for me?"

Mu Xianxian answered softly, "At that time, you deliberately lured away the [Ancient Luan Bird] and sacrificed yourself so we could survive."

"We saw that explosion from far away; even though it was a great distance, we could still feel its power."

"We thought you probably wouldn't survive. To commemorate you, we built a tombstone for you."

…

It was a logical and well-reasoned explanation; Lin Moyu found he couldn't refute it.

Fine, let it be.

Anyway, the tombstone had turned into rubble and was likely gone by now.

This matter was put to rest.

Another wave of monsters was lured over, and Mu Xianxian dutifully completed her work.

Lin Moyu cleared out the monsters with practiced ease, reaping double the heart of the earth fragments.

In the blink of an eye, 1,000 heart of the earth fragments had been collected.

Only two hours had passed since entering the Dungeon.

This efficiency was shockingly high.

The 1,000 heart of the earth fragments fused together, turning into a ball of earthy-yellow light, finally becoming a seemingly unremarkable yellow stone.

The yellow stone exuded an aura of earth elements—not strong, but very peculiar.

[heart of the earth: An essential item for changing class to Earth Knight.]

Lin Moyu had also encountered many purely elemental gemstones.

The heart of the earth felt different to him.

It wasn't composed of pure elements; it seemed to contain some kind of peculiar energy within it.

That energy felt familiar.

After recalling carefully, he realized, "It's somewhat similar to the energy during my class advancement."

The heart of the earth could indeed help a Paladin change class to an Earth Knight, and could even increase the probability of class sublimation for a Paladin during their second transfer.

With it, it was possible for the human race to give birth to another Earth Knight.

Mu Xianxian's large eyes shone with surprise, "So this is the heart of the earth. I've heard Earth Knights are really powerful."

"Have you seen one?" Lin Moyu asked.

Mu Xianxian shook her head, "I haven't seen one, but I've read about it in books. It says the Earth Knight is the pinnacle of knight-type professions, stronger than Holy Knights or Elemental Knights. Even the Dragon Knights of the Dragon race can't compare to it."

The Dragon Knight was the most powerful knight profession among the Dragon race, and their numbers were also shockingly few.

The two had clashed before, and the result was the Earth Knight emerging victorious.

This also cemented the Earth Knight's title as the strongest knight.

Lin Moyu looked into the distance, "Perhaps one day in the future, I'll have the chance to see one with my own eyes."

Written records always lacked a sense of realism; it was better to see it for oneself.

Lin Moyu also really wanted to witness the demeanor of an Earth Knight.

The canyon reached its end, and strong waves of heat rushed towards them with the airflow.

The scorching high temperature, combined with the ever-present pungent sulfur, made the air even murkier.

In his field of vision, red and yellow intersected, covered by a layer of hazy yellow mist.
