Level 7 demon beast?

  The earth's essence and gold were still not enough to move Xiaoming's heart, after all, that was something that could only be maximally utilized by a warrior profession. But if there were magical gems born with the ore veins, it would be completely different!

  Xia Ming's hand tightened around the Flame Emperor's staff, suppressing the excitement in his heart.

  "The excellent ore here should be able to refine five sets of equipment, which is still pretty good." Xia Ming's face revealed a smile.

  Tang Ge's voice changed with excitement: "Five sets?" He had originally thought that these large-scale refined gold could at most refine two sets of equipment, but he didn't expect there to be as many as five sets.

  Su Weiwei's clear eyes swept over Xia Ming, with a hint of inexplicable meaning in her calm demeanor. Just by looking at him for a few moments, she could tell how much top-grade earth essence gold was in the mine. What kind of vision was this?

  Xia Ming nodded calmly, opened his mouth and recited a spell, a scorching fireball floated in the palm of his hand. This was just the most basic magic, Fireball Technique.

  Tang Ge's eyes lit up, as if he vaguely understood what Xia Ming was going to do, and quickly made room for him.

  Xia Ming walked to the location of the ore vein and drew a circle around it with a large fireball. The flames burned, leaving a layer of black powder on the surrounding rocks, revealing the location of the Golden Earth Essence within the ore vein!

  After doing all this, Xia Ming patted his hands and said to several people: "It's okay, the earth essence gold is generally on the surface of the ore vein and won't be buried deep underground, so mining is still relatively simple. However, we must still be careful, as these earth essence gold have not been refined before, their toughness may not be enough, and we can't use too much force when digging."

  Fortunately, there are Tongge and Su Weiwei, two warrior professionals here. Otherwise, the excavation would be quite difficult. If only Xiaoming had discovered this large gold mine vein, he might have been able to do nothing but sigh in admiration. If Xiaoming had acted alone, he could only use magic to directly blast open the mine vein, which would undoubtedly cause great damage to the gold ore.

  Su Weiwei and Tang Ge nodded simultaneously, they were both ignorant of mining, but with Xia Ming, a master-level figure, present, neither of them would overstep their bounds, and directly followed Xia Ming's instructions.

  Su Weiwei and Tang Ge, a sixth-level Great Knight and a fifth-level Battle Master, respectively, were both top-notch warriors. Their sharp aura was like a knife, making them the best at cutting through mineral veins.

  Only the piercing whistling sound was heard, a string of sparks burst out one after another, and the earth's gold slowly broke through the soil, the yellowish light becoming more and more intense. The stone walls in the cave began to shake, as if trembling with fear, small stones splashing up, thick dust flying wildly.

  Finally, with a crisp ringing sound, the half-buried golden earth was exposed to the surface, and a hint of joy flashed in everyone's eyes.

  "The quality of this earth's essence is quite good, and the accompanying magical gemstone may also be of high quality!" Xia Ming's heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm and composed.

  Just then, a loud and fierce explosion suddenly came from outside the cave, accompanied by terrifying roars.

  Xia Ming and the four of them turned back in unison, only to feel a powerful aura approaching them head-on. Just judging from the aura alone, it was already much stronger than the Sword Toothed Tiger!

  "This... what kind of demonic aura is this!" Sherlock's face turned pale, his expression shocked and flustered. They had only come to judge the demon beast from its aura, and this was absolutely not something they could contend with at their current level!

  Splash!

  A silver long sword suddenly spun, the clear and melodious sword hum filled the air in an instant, covering up the beast's roar. Su Weiwei wore a suit of silver armor, her cold eyes fixed intently on the front, unexpectedly standing unflinchingly in front of everyone without hesitation. The icy fighting spirit also surged out in vain, its momentum instantly reaching its peak.

  "It's actually fallen to the point where I need a woman's protection." Xia Ming gazed at Su Weiwei, who was standing in front of him, and couldn't help but laugh at himself.

  Tang Ge also charged forward with a fierce momentum, standing shoulder to shoulder with Su Weiwei, both hands grasping his sword, vigilant and alert.

  The roar of the beast was getting louder and louder, which meant that they were getting closer and closer to Xiaoming and his three companions.

  At last, a dark shadow blocked more than half of the cave entrance, and a terrifying demon appeared before Xiaoming's eyes, causing his pupils to shrink.

  That's a huge lizard!

  Its body was at least five or six meters long, completely covered in dull yellow scales, each one at least the size of a washbasin. As it moved, it made a loud metallic rustling noise, sharp and terrifying.

  The enormous gecko stuck out its tongue, just like a deadly poisonous snake, with a mouth full of sharp toxic teeth opening and closing, thick toxic liquid dripping from the teeth and falling to the ground with a hissing sound.

  Those eyes gleaming with coldness and ferocity made one's legs tremble with fear, making them want to turn around and run away immediately.

  "This is, the Earth-shaking giant lizard!" Xia Ming exclaimed in astonishment.

  The Earth-shattering giant lizard, a 7th-level magical beast! The term "7th-level magical beast" already explains everything. Among the four of them, Su Weiwei, who was the strongest, was only a 6th-level professional, let alone Xia Ming and the other two. The gap between the 6th and 7th levels is not something that can be bridged by technique, especially when it comes to the Earth-shattering giant lizard, which is notorious for its ferocity and brutality among magical beasts.

  "Damn it, how can there be a level 7 demonic beast here!" Tang Ge was also shocked and furious, cursing loudly. How could there possibly be a level 7 demonic beast in the Green Hair Worm Forest!

  The giant lizard took a step closer to the crowd, its aura and pressure increasing exponentially. The beast's ferocious eyes made Xia Ming and others feel like they were suffocating under an overwhelming force. Xia Ming's hand grasping the Earth Flame Staff turned white at the knuckles, cold sweat seeping into his Starry Robes.

  The giant lizard's mouth had a strong, pungent smell of rot and decay, a mixture of venom and festering flesh. Xiaoming didn't doubt that being bitten by this beast would leave him with almost no chance of survival...

  "Damn it, I'm going to take you down, you beast! Xiaoming, you and the others get out of here first!" Tang Ge cursed, but still stood firmly in front, unmoving. When an adventure party encounters a crisis, they naturally prioritize protecting the mage, with warriors taking the rear - this was an unspoken rule in the world of adventurers.

  In this case, there is no doubt that the only way out is to escape, but escaping also requires someone to resist and cover up. Tang Ge stood out without hesitation at this time.

  A silver long sword swirling with a torrent, icy crystals condensing at the tip of the sword, emitting bursts of thunderous roars. A strong will to fight is displayed from the female knight's body, undoubtedly also revealing Su Weiwei's determination not to back down at this moment.

  The giant lizard did not rush to attack, but instead faced off against Tang Ge and Su Weiwei, its beastly eyes seeming to gleam with a hint of greed, as if it had caught sight of delicious food.

  "Let's go!" Sherlock gave Xiaoming a signal, and with the help of his own wind magic agility technique, he took advantage of the giant tortoise's attention being focused on Tang Ge and the others, and ran out for tens of meters in a flash, turning to the back of the giant tortoise, a relatively safe place.

  The giant lizard seemed utterly uninterested in Sherlock, ignoring his small movements, its toxic eyes fixed intently on Tong and Su Wei, as if it wanted to swallow them whole.

  Sherlock saw that it was temporarily safe and let out a sigh of relief, waving his hand at Xiaoming to signal him to come over.

  Xia Ming also knew that this was not the time to hesitate, and he gave himself a boost with a lightness technique. His footsteps were light and swift, and in an instant, he flashed past the giant lizard!

  The giant lizard on the ground seemed to have no interest in Xia Ming either, its blood-red pupils didn't even move, it just stared at Tang Ge and the other person...
