“Phew, no wonder so many teams are stuck in this secret realm. The monsters inside are too hard to deal with.” A Dawn Warrior took off his heavy helmet and sat on the ground.

Although there were only seven or eight Blood Mage apprentices left in the cave, their attacks were still quite fierce. The heavy armor seemed to provide no defense against their painful attacks.

The Vitality Points of the three Dawn Warriors were only half remaining. Song Jian was in a better state, with about two-thirds of his Vitality Points left. The Black Dragon whelp was attacked most frequently, and its Vitality Points had already dropped to less than half. After all, it was only a Level 15 Elite Level creature. Facing monsters more than three levels higher, it suffered from a natural level suppression, causing more damage.

“Let’s take a break before we continue!” Song Jian ordered.

Without the addition of Vitality recovery speed, Song Jian’s recovery slowed down significantly, and he felt somewhat unaccustomed to it.

The Level 18 Elite monsters not only dropped generous loot but also provided Song Jian with surprisingly large amounts of Experience Points. Killing only about twenty dungeon monsters had already increased his Experience Points by a small amount. He was now at Level 17 and 41%. It seemed that if they could clear this dungeon, reaching Level 18 would be no problem. This was much more efficient than leveling up by killing monsters in the wild, almost increasing the efficiency by several times.

“Huh, I feel like my recovery speed is much faster than usual?” A Dawn Warrior said in surprise.

“Really? I feel like my strength is recovering faster than before too…”

“Sir, do you have this feeling too? Our Vitality Points, energy, and strength are all recovering at least 30% faster!” The oldest Dawn Warrior said to Song Jian, his eyes full of confusion.

“Really?” Song Jian frowned slightly, looking at his attribute interface. There was no sign of an accelerated recovery speed: “I don’t have that feeling…”

Sir, please come here and feel it. The recovery speed is indeed much faster.” A Dawn Warrior stood up and offered his seat.

Song Jian nodded and took the spot.

Whoosh~

A sudden breeze blew through the cave, causing the campfire beside Song Jian to flicker rapidly.

“What’s going on?” Song Jian frowned, his gaze falling on the nearby campfire. “Recovery Demon Flame: Level 1 Demon Flame. Effect: Within a 3-meter range, non-combat recovery speed is accelerated. Increases the success rate and recovery effects of crafting recovery potions.”

“Level 1, Demon Flame? There’s actually a Demon Flame here?” Song Jian widened his eyes in disbelief.

However, as soon as he approached the campfire, the blazing flames seemed suppressed and weakened. It seemed that the Level 3 Demon Flame, Abyssal Flame, within Song Jian had a strong suppression effect on the Recovery Demon Flame.

“Damn, this is probably the biggest reward in Blood Demon Cave. However, I already possess one kind of Demon Flame. I wonder if I can accommodate a second one!” Song Jian stared at the campfire, his eyebrows furrowed, and after some thought, he slowly extended his hand towards the fire.

Crackle-

Two sparks jumped from the campfire, and the flames retreated abruptly as if a small animal was afraid of and avoiding Song Jian’s touch. At that moment, black flames erupted from Song Jian’s outstretched hand, making a whooshing sound.

The instant the black flames appeared, the entire campfire seemed to be extinguished. Only the fist-sized pale-white flame remained, hiding in the depths of the campfire, flickering continuously like a frightened child under the bed.

Black flames began to slowly invade the campfire. In no time, the flames on the campfire rekindled, and a white stream of fire, like tentacles, spread out from the depths of the fire and entwined themselves around Song Jian’s extended arm.

System: Level 3 Demon Flame, Abyssal Flame, begins to merge with Recovery Demon Flame, fusion progress 3%…5%…

The black flames blazed in the campfire, raising the temperature in the cave by several degrees. The Dawn Warriors looked astonished and quickly moved back. Only the Black Dragon whelp seemed interested in the black flames. It approached and licked the flames with its tongue.

Song Jian felt warmth within his body. It was much more comfortable than when he had merged with the Abyssal Flame. At that time, he felt like a piece of roasted meat, burning both inside and out. Now, it was like he had immersed himself in warm water, feeling very comfortable and drowsy.

After an unknown amount of time, the warmth in Song Jian’s body disappeared. He opened his eyes to find that the milky-white flames were gone, replaced by a huge campfire with black flames.

System: Level 3 Abyssal Flame has successfully merged. Your Fire Resistance has increased by 10 points, your Vitality Point recovery speed has permanently increased by 50%, and you have gained the Recovery Aura. Effect: For all teammates within a 5-meter range, Vitality Point recovery speed increases by 30%.

It’s a pity that it’s only a Level 1 Demon Flame. If it were of a higher level, the Abyssal Flame might have been able to level up!” Song Jian thought to himself.

The increase in fire resistance and Vitality Point recovery rate both strengthened Song Jian. This was even better than acquiring a new piece of equipment since this portion of his strength could be brought into the real world.

The added Recovery Aura allowed the three Dawn Warriors to have a 30% increased Vitality recovery rate, whether in or out of combat. This significantly improved their safety and reduced the pressure of battling monsters.

Let’s continue!” Song Jian stood up and led the way deeper into the Blood Demon Cave.

The three Dawn Warriors glanced at the faint green aura beneath their feet, feeling the surging energy within their bodies. After exchanging a look, they followed closely behind Song Jian.

Along the way, the cave tunnels were like a labyrinth, branching in all directions. The variety of monsters Song Jian and his party encountered also increased. In addition to Blood Mage attendants and apprentices, they faced Blood Demon Spiders, Blood Demon Hunting Dogs, Blood Witches, Blood Demon Warriors, and other creatures.

The deeper they went into the Demon Cave, the more and stronger monsters they encountered. They had to carefully lure the monsters one by one to slowly kill them off. There were several times when they lured too many monsters. If Song Jian hadn’t activated his Immortal Sword Body and firmly attracted the monsters’ hatred towards himself, they might have faced a total wipeout.

However, despite the dangers, the rewards were plentiful. In addition to some gems and Level 15 green and blue equipment, they even obtained two Level 15 silver-quality items.

One was cloth armor for a Mage, and the other was Mage shoes. Although Song Jian couldn’t wear them, if he sold them at the auction house, they would be worth at least tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of Doomsday Coins.

Soon, the group arrived at a massive cave. The cave was set up like a laboratory, with delicate instruments surrounding them. A middle-aged man wearing a red robe was dissecting a human corpse. The whole cave filled with a strong smell of blood.

“Be careful! This is a Level 20 Elite BOSS!” A cautious look appeared in Song Jian’s eyes. The monster before him was the first BOSS he encountered in Blood Demon Cave. If they didn’t kill him, they would not be able to move forward.
