Chapter 411 World Rune Advancement, God-Level Support Flower Fairy!
The skeleton archers, who had been holding bows, immediately unleashed a volley of arrows.
Regardless of who the opponent is, whether they are dead or alive, let's fire a few arrows to test the waters first!
To Ark's surprise, the statue's defensive capabilities were surprisingly low.
As the barrage of skeletal arrows struck, a sound similar to shattering porcelain rang out.
Then came a sigh filled with disappointment and resentment, and the statue shattered completely into pieces scattered all over the ground.
A beam of white light then headed straight for the ark.
Fang Zhou's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly checked his attribute panel. What he saw was a notification that surprised him greatly, even delighted him: "You have been cursed by the Lava Demon before its death."
"You possess the World Rune [Heart of Steel II], granting you immunity to mind control effects of Silver rank and below. The Curse of Mindlessness is nullified."
"Residual blasphemous power detected. Do you wish to purify it by consuming a certain amount of soul power?"
Fangzhou felt a surge of excitement as he realized he could purify the blasphemous aura once again.
He had previously purified the Profane Torch, the Queen Ant Crystal, and the Soul-Slaying Poison Arrow on Ning Feihu's remains during the hunt in Cave 1.
This also allowed them to obtain the Night Watch and Heart Steel world runes.
Unexpectedly, he has now gained another opportunity to purify the blasphemous aura as soon as he enters the Forest of Nature.
Fangzhou, without hesitation, immediately chose purification.
After consuming 1000 points of soul power, Fangzhou immediately felt a long-lost warm wave descend from the sky, enveloping his entire body and mind.
Under the astonished gazes of Gu Yueyuan, Liu Diewu, Ye Yinzhu, and others, the Ark once again gained the attention of the Blue Star World's will and entered an enviable state of enlightenment.
The attribute panel displayed another notification: "Successfully purified the blasphemous aura, gaining the attention of the world's will."
"World Rune [Night Watch] upgraded to [Night Watch II]."
"【Night Watchman II】: A reward from the World's Will, a mid-tier World Rune that can be bound to one skill, moderately reducing its mana cost. It can be unbound at any time, but requires a 1-day cooldown after unbinding."
As the world's attention grew stronger, the Ark, which had lost much of its necromantic power in several battles, slowly recovered to its peak condition.
After marching and fighting, their bodies, which had been somewhat tired, were once again full of energy.
A few minutes later, the mysterious warm fluctuations slowly dissipated, and Fangzhou opened his eyes.
Liu Diewu, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but ask, "Fangzhou, have you gained the attention of the world's will again?"
Fangzhou nodded slightly and replied, "It seems that the statue contains the ghosts of some Lava Demon ancestors."
After my skeleton archers killed him, I somehow spontaneously purified the blasphemous aura from him.
This is why it has attracted the attention of the world's will.
At this moment, Ye Yinzhu and the other members of the Thunderfire Squad were already filled with envy.
They were all ordinary third-year students who had spent two and a half years cultivating before their level remained at the lower level of Black Iron.
Although they are highly trained in combat experience and practical skills, in terms of cultivation talent alone, they are definitely not as good as second-year seed students like Fang Zhou, Gu Yueyuan, and Liu Diewu.
Despite this, during their time with the Disaster Squad, they felt neither inferiority nor envy.
But the situation is different now.
For ordinary students like them, the attention of the world's will was simply unheard of, a miracle that only existed in books.
No matter how hard they racked their brains, they never imagined that after such an ordinary battle, the Ark would so spectacularly gain the attention of the world's will.
That mysterious and warm vibration is something that anyone who has witnessed it once would never mistake.
Ye Yinzhu and the others were filled with shock and envy, as if they were witnessing a miracle that was out of reach.
Seeing that Ye Yinzhu and the others were losing their composure, Fang Zhou didn't want to dwell on the topic any longer.
Anyway, it's all thanks to his hard work and talent, there's not much to explain.
Fang Zhou coughed lightly, breaking the silence, and said, "The battle should be over now."
Let's clean up the battlefield. Finish off the enemies who need finishing them off, and collect the loot that needs to be collected.
Having expended so much effort, we can't just leave empty-handed.
Once everyone came to their senses, they nodded and began cleaning up the battlefield with practiced ease.
Ark also had his undead army collect the collapsed and shattered lava forge and the stone statue that had been smashed to pieces.
The lava demon lurking inside the statue has been killed by the Ark, thus it has lost some of its special features.
However, in terms of materials alone, it is entirely made of magic stones.
Such a large quantity of magic stones can be exchanged for at least 2000 contribution points at Haicheng Military Academy.
This is a considerable fortune for them.
As for lava forging furnaces, although most of them contain ordinary metals and stones, the essence of them is extremely precious minerals.
The Ark searched the ruins carefully, collecting all the precious minerals one by one.
These ores not only possess an abyssal style and energy, which are extremely rare for humans on Earth, but they are also excellent forging materials for Ark, a necromancer class with negative energy.
In terms of value alone, it is worth thousands of contribution points.
Seeing that the battle had come to an end, the cadets of Haicheng Military Academy were overjoyed.
Fang Zhou looked at the members of the Thunderfire Squad and asked, "Is the threat here completely over now?"
Ye Yinzhu nodded happily and said, "Yes, Ark, boss."
According to the flower fairies, after eliminating the lava demons and their forges, this swamp will surely recover slowly.
Fangzhou nodded, then decisively issued an order for the undead army to collect all the spoils from the entire Lava Demon camp and distribute them among the troops.
As the main force in this battle, he naturally deserves the lion's share.
Ark stored the magic stone statue containing the Lava Demon Spirit, along with all the rare minerals from the forge, into its spatial storage capsule.
In addition to these, Ark also found some fire elemental crystals in various corners of the camp.
These crystals are not only excellent alchemy and forging materials, but also very useful spellcasting materials for fire-attribute professionals.
Therefore, whether Fangzhou uses these materials to improve his own strength or trades with other students in the future, these materials will bring him considerable benefits.
The harvest this time far exceeded Ark's expectations.
Including the enchanted guns previously assigned to him, the total value of these loot items has reached several thousand contribution points.
Not to mention that during the process of purifying the blasphemous aura left by the Lava Demons, the Ark also gained the attention of the World's Will, which upgraded the Night Watch Rune.
And there's also that obediently crouching Flame Swamp Frog.
Whether used as a mount or sold to students who need it, it will be a considerable fortune.
As for the remaining spoils, Ark did not participate in the distribution.
The members of the Disaster Squad and the Thunderfire Squad had no objections to this.
This is what it feels like to be clingy and rely on someone's coattails.
In this operation, they took little risk and paid a heavy price, yet easily obtained far more spoils from the Ark than they had expected.
Even Gu Yueyuan, who was always proud and arrogant, couldn't help but feel a sense of laziness at this moment.
Following Fangzhou is much better than struggling on his own.
Fifteen minutes later, Fang Zhou and the others finished cleaning up the battlefield and dividing the spoils before starting their return journey. After completing their mission, the members of the Thunderfire Squad naturally went to find the Flower Fairy Sentinel to hand over the mission and exchange it for their deserved rewards.
As a force that joined midway through the operation, Ark and his Cataclysmic Squad naturally shared in the rich rewards of this mission.
Just then, Zhang Wu also handed over the data to Ye Yinzhu and updated the old map in his possession.
Thanks to his deep understanding of the Forest of Nature, he is unlikely to get lost in the area ahead.
Along the way, Fangzhou and Ye Yinzhu constantly exchanged information.
We now have a more intuitive understanding of what changes occurred in the Forest of Nature after its energy level stabilized at the lower level of Black Iron.
Ye Yinzhu provided a detailed account of the recent changes in Nature Forest, including new species, environmental changes, and potential dangers.
Meanwhile, the other cadets from Haicheng Military Academy were also very excited, discussing the thrilling battle they had just witnessed with great relish.
While stroking his chin, Zhang Wu looked at the hopping Flame Swamp Frog beside Fang Zhou and suddenly asked, "Boss Fang Zhou, do you know what that Flame Forging Furnace we just destroyed was?"
What exactly is that shattered magic stone statue inside?
It seems he's also a lava demon?
Fangzhou nodded: "That's right, and he's the most evil molten lava sorcerer among them."
I just checked the Molten Demon race encyclopedia and that's how I confirmed it.
Their fate was sealed the moment their race's spellcasters attempted to forcibly wield evil demonic power.
Each spell cast by the Molten Core sorcerers will cause them to take damage.
After casting numerous spells, parts of each Molten Core warlock's limbs gradually turn to stone.
Later on, they might even become immobile and have to be supported by their servants using frames.
But in any case, becoming an immovable stone statue is their inevitable fate.
It now appears that the molten lava sorcerer intends to do something with the Flame Forge in an attempt to slow down the process.
Like many of his kin who feared death, he ultimately failed.
The price of failure is death.
At this point, Fangzhou couldn't help but shake his head.
He only learned about the price the lava demons had to pay when using magic after consulting some materials.
But they still relentlessly pursue more powerful magic; you could say the entire race is ruthless.
Soon, before sunset, the Ark crew arrived at a nearby village of flower fairies.
This village is hidden among lush flowers, like a paradise, beautiful and enchanting.
The village is made up of countless small and exquisite buildings, each of which looks as if it were carefully woven from flower petals and vines, colorful and exuding a faint floral fragrance.
These cottages are scattered among the flowers in a pleasingly irregular pattern, like exquisite jewelry boxes dotting a green ocean.
Flower fairies are an apprentice race, and their strength rarely exceeds that of an apprentice.
Ordinary flower fairies are only the size of a human thumb, belonging to the miniature creatures of the mythological world.
Despite their incredibly fragile bodies, flower fairies possess a unique spiritual talent.
This ability allows them to transform their bodies into energy forms at any time and enter the energy dimension, thereby evading physical attacks.
This spiritual ability not only protects them from external threats but also gives them a deep connection with nature.
It is precisely because of this talent that flower fairies are able to establish symbiotic contracts with some high-level creatures of natural attributes, assisting these high-level creatures in cultivation or combat.
The reason why natural-attribute professionals like Liu Diewu and Zhang Wu value the spatial fragments of the Natural Forest so much is that they hope to gain the approval of the flower fairies and contract a flower fairy as their spirit pet.
Flower fairies not only provide powerful support in battle, but also offer valuable assistance during crucial moments of cultivation.
However, for the Flower Fairy race, every member is extremely precious.
Unless someone has truly done them a favor or made a great contribution to them, they will not easily form contracts with other races.
This cautious attitude is also to protect the safety and interests of one's own community.
The village and outpost of the flower fairies in front of us was built according to the tiny size of the flower fairies.
The cabin's doors and windows are very small, and even the interior furniture is scaled down.
For humans on Earth like those on Ark, direct entry is naturally impossible.
Fortunately, the former cadets from the Haicheng Military Academy, with the consent of the Flower Fairy, established a temporary camp on the outskirts of the village.
This temporary campsite is also filled with the atmosphere of nature.
The tent is made of natural materials and blends in with the surrounding environment, making it both comfortable and beautiful.
Fangzhou and his disaster relief team chose an empty tent to move into.
The tent was spacious and bright, with a soft grass mat on the ground and simple furniture placed around it.
The top is made of transparent material, allowing you to see the changing clouds in the sky and the setting sun.
After settling in, Zhang Wu volunteered to go with Ye Yinzhu to negotiate with the flower fairy.
As a rare cadet from the Haicheng Military Academy who had gained the approval of the Flower Fairy Queen, Fangzhou naturally had full confidence in Zhang Wu's negotiation skills.
While Zhang Wu and Ye Yinzhu went to negotiate with the Flower Elf leader, Fang Zhou was not idle. He strolled along the edge of the Flower Elf village with his Flame Swamp Frog.
The Flame Swamp Frog hopped around the Ark's feet, its fiery skin gleaming brightly in the setting sun, attracting a crowd of natives.
