I Can See All The Bosses' Drops-Chapter 661 - 644: Oh, What a Coincidence

Karon Volcano is a colossal active volcano with a diameter of over a hundred meters.

The scalding magma beneath the crater boils relentlessly twenty hours a day, year-round.

To the north of Vermilion Bird City, there's perpetual snow and howling cold winds.

Only around this volcano can one feel warmth...

Of course! The closer you get to the crater, the hotter it becomes.

Even the air around is filled with a sharp sulphurous smell.

Above the crater, the snowflakes that drift down from the sky are instantly evaporated mid-air by the intense heat before they can fall in.

The closer to the crater, the higher the temperature inside, causing players in the vicinity to continuously lose health (burn).

The closer players get to it, the more health they lose.

However, do you think such a harsh place would be deserted?

Of course not!

This is one of the major popular leveling spots within the Vermilion Bird City area.

Roaming around the crater is a group of fire spirits with levels ranging from Lv45 to Lv49.

Players gather in threes and fives across the mountains, occupying spawn points, and systematically hunting those freshly spawned fire spirits.

The reason players like this place is because the fire spirits here not only give 10% more experience than other ordinary monsters of the same level.

The most important factor is, these fire spirits also drop a forging material called the [Molten Fire Stone].

Any defense-type equipment, when forged with this material, gains an additional attribute of [Fire Element Resistance 1%-30% random].

Currently, fire mages dominate the game, and the fire element is indisputably the violent magic in the game.

For such special materials that can reduce magic damage from the fire element, they are naturally the market's 'favorite' and merchants' darling.

Therefore, players who come here can not only grind and level up but also collect such [Molten Fire Stone] materials, whether for sale or personal use, it seems like killing two birds with one stone.

At the entrance to this leveling spot, on a relatively flat place, many merchant-like players are actively shouting:

"Buying a large amount of [Molten Fire Stone], highest price online 1 gold per set (100 silver = 1 gold), the more the better. PM if you have some, door-to-door collection supported, no travel costs."

"Buying [Molten Fire Stone], 1 gold per set. Players who complete the transaction can get free supplies from me; also buying fire spirit [exclusive equipment] at a high price of 5 gold each, welcome new and old customers to come and disturb."

""Purple Gold Chamber of Commerce" buying [Molten Fire Stone] at a high price with credibility guaranteed. Highest price online paying 101 silver per set, funds settled in person."

...

In this game, where there is profit, the presence of these merchants is undeniable.

Among these merchants are individuals, guilds, as well as many specialized merchant alliances (chambers of commerce).

Their role is to acquire in-demand equipment and materials from the market at 'low prices' and then sell them in bulk through their channels, making huge profits from the margins.

Ordinary players, due to the lack of these sales channels, and since putting items in the auction house incurs a 15% fee, prefer to sell the materials and equipment they acquire directly to these merchants at equivalent value.

A mature industrial chain has already nearly formed within this game.

By doing so, sellers save time searching for suitable buyers and selling goods; selling directly to merchants is the most convenient and cost-effective for them.

Merchants, on the other hand, sacrifice their game time, spending the majority of their time acquiring these materials and equipment, which they resell through their channels to make money.

No matter how you look at it, it's a win-win situation for both parties.

Everything here was still peaceful as usual, the monster-grinding players and constantly shouting merchants forming two unique sights.

But just then, a giant surge of energy erupted from the distant Karon Volcano.

A deafening explosion sounded from the volcano, followed by the violent shaking of the mountain.

All players witnessing this scene looked astonished at Karon Volcano.

The scorching magma within the volcano spewed continuously after the enormous explosion.

Then the magma fell like a fiery rain on the surrounding grounds.

The immense heat instantly charred the ground black, emitting green smoke.

A player hit by the magma had their health plummet:

"Damn, what the hell is this!"

Players were horrified:

"What the hell, did the volcano just erupt?"

Players, both those waiting to kill monsters and those actively engaged, almost simultaneously stopped what they were doing, running frantically away:

"Dammit, if I get burnt to death by the lava, all my leveling over the past few days will be for nothing."

The merchants watching the distant erupting crater were also dumbfounded:

"What, what's happening."

"Is the volcano finally erupting?"

"Hey~ this is the first time since the game started."

At this moment, someone even suggested:

"Should we go take a look?"

But this quickly earned disdainful looks from nearby peers:

"You go ahead, we'll wait here for you."

"You want to die while it's still warm, don't you."

The merchant who spoke up chuckled nonchalantly at the colleagues' teasing:

"Just joking around."

"With my level, I'd just get killed instantly."

At this moment, more and more people started rushing over, complaining:

"Why is the volcano erupting all of a sudden, without any signs."

"Exactly!"

"Just managed to secure a spawn point today, now it seems it's all in vain."

Someone sighed:

"Hard to say when this will end."

At this moment, a player ran over, panting heavily.

Someone recognized this guy as a warrior who had just gone to the crater to check the situation, pointing towards the crater in horror:

"Holy shit, there's a BOSS!"

"What?"

Everyone was taken aback by this statement:

"BOSS!"

"Outdoor BOSS!"

For game players, few things are more thrilling than encountering a BOSS respawning outdoors.

At this moment, a giant head suddenly emerged from the crater, accompanied by an earth-shattering roar:

"Roar~~"

Players turned their heads and were stunned by the scene:

"Damn, there really is a BOSS here."

"Never heard of a BOSS respawning here!"

It was a head entirely encased in lava, without a bit of flesh.

The hollow eyes emitted intense flames, and as it appeared, it let out a long howl.

The volcano behind it exploded violently again with the howl, lava splattered, making the entire mountain tremble.

The epic scene was truly spectacular.

Immediately, a skeletal figure over five meters tall covered entirely in lava appeared in everyone's sight.

Everyone looked up, gasping:

Flame Lord Lv50

Outdoor BOSS

Life Value: 25000000/25000000

At the same time, a shadow quietly appeared in the crowd.

Looking at the roaring Boss, they couldn't help but quip:

"Oh, what a coincidence!"
