Chapter 131 - 131 Self

131 Self-Healing

In short, the mining journey continued.

After knowing the function of the Flame Rocks, not just its ten copper coins value, the team is more motivated to dig now.

It was no longer about changing locations after digging two pickaxes. They would basically dig until they were about to reach magma. When it was really hot, they would change locations and continue.

They basically stopped chatting and focused on digging.

However, this had nothing to do with how much he had gained.

After digging three Floating Stones, Fang Ping estimated that more than an hour had passed, but he did not find a single Flame Rock.

“The eighth and ninth pieces. There are two pieces together here. No, three pieces. That’s the tenth piece!”

Fang Ping wiped the sweat off his face when he heard Qing Niao shouting happily not far away. He was too evil.

Qing Niao jumped onto a floating rock that was used to rest his feet. This one was relatively complete and had not been poisoned.

Qing Niao sat on the pumice stone and took a sip of water before taking out a handful of Fire Stones from his pocket.

“Fang Ping, didn’t Feng Ling say that Magic Shield can increase the absorption efficiency of energy? This Elemental Set has Magic Shield 1. How about I give it a try?”

“Let’s try.” Fang Ping also jumped over and took a break.

“You have a special self-healing ability, and I also have a Forbidden Life Spell. Nothing will happen.”

Just like before, Qing Niao held the rock and closed his eyes.

Soon, Qing Niao frowned and his expression became serious. He gritted his teeth and his entire body tensed up. His muscles were trembling slightly.

Usually, the accumulation of energy was done under very relaxed circumstances. Qing Niao’s reaction was abnormal.

It only lasted for a minute or two. White light lit up on Qing Niao’s body, and the Self-healing characteristic took effect.

This was a sign of his body being injured. Only when he was injured would he heal himself and cultivate until he was injured. He did not know what was going on.

In the beginning, the white light lit up every minute. Slowly, the frequency of the white light appearing became higher and higher, faster and faster. One minute, half a minute, and finally, it lit up every 20 seconds. This was also the fastest speed of self-healing.

Fang Ping stared at Qing Niao nervously, not knowing what was going on with him. If the damage he received within twenty seconds was too high and his Self-healing could not keep up, Qing Niao would die too.

Just as Fang Ping was about to use a Forbidden Life Spell to be safe, Qing Niao’s body paused. With a cry, he spat out a mouthful of blood onto the dark floating stone.

Fang Ping quickly supported him. “Qing Niao, what’s going on? Are you alright?”

With his other hand, he took the water bag from the side, pulled out the stopper, and handed it to him.

Qing Niao took it and took a sip. He rinsed his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of red blood. Then, he took a deep breath and said, “This energy accumulation is too satisfying!”

This was different from what Fang Ping had expected. Qing Niao opened his palm. It was empty. The Flame Rock from before had disappeared.

“What’s going on?”

The white light on Qing Niao’s body was still glowing one after another, and his eyes were a little red.

He pointed at his body and said, “This energy is golden-red. It’s super rude and unreasonable. There’s no need to take the initiative to attract it. One by one, they rush in and the body can quickly absorb it.

“What I absorbed was only golden divine energy. The red outside is another energy. It will collide in my body. All the muscles in my body seem to be torn apart by this energy. It’s painful and hot. Fortunately, my characteristic is Self-healing and I can last longer.”

Speaking of this, Qing Niao smiled. “I feel that this is really a perfect match for me. The energy I accumulated in this short period of time can compare to three to four days. I estimate it to be at least 30 points.”

At this moment, Gran appeared. When he saw Fang Ping and Qing Niao sitting on the pumice rock, he walked over.

“What are you doing here?”

Qing Niao explained the situation just now.

“It feels a little dangerous. I don’t have your strong characteristics. I’ll go back tonight and check on the situation. I’ll try again tomorrow.”

Fang Ping nodded. “I think so too.”

On the other hand, Qing Niao took out another Flame Rock. “I have the Self-healing characteristic, so I should be fine. I’ll accumulate some more energy. It would be a pity not to seize such an opportunity.”

This might also be a rare opportunity for Qing Niao. Fang Ping nodded. “Then be careful. If it doesn’t work, stop quickly. I’m going to mine some more.”

“Okay.”

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The melodious knocking echoed in the Lava World.

Did it mean that it was time to go back?

Fang Ping stood up. His legs were stinging and numb from squatting.

He had finished the water in the water bag. His hands and feet were sore, and he was mentally exhausted. In exchange, he had eight Flame Rocks in his pocket.

This harvest was still too low. Gran had just dug up 20 pieces, and now he estimated that it would be 25 pieces.

Qing Niao did not dig anymore. He had been cultivating with his eyes closed, but the number he had dug up at the beginning was more than Fang Ping’s.

He sighed. Perhaps he was really wrong.

“Fang Ping, help me up.”

As soon as Qing Niao stood up, he staggered and almost fell into the lava. He sat back on the floating rock and shouted at Fang Ping.

However, Fang Ping’s legs were numb too and he could not move. Gran ran over quickly and helped Qing Niao up.

“What happened?”

“I can’t exert any strength.”

Fang Ping walked over as well. “Qing Niao, are you alright?”

Qing Niao shook his head slightly. “It’s not good. I can’t even stand or move my neck. I might have to trouble you. I’m really sorry, I…”

“It’s okay.”

The two of them basically carried Qing Niao back.

When he walked to the huge light membrane, there were already many people gathered around.

“Qing Niao, what’s wrong!” Andre ran over quickly.

Qing Niao was still hanging on Fang Ping and Gran’s shoulders. He forced a smile. “I’m fine. I’m just a little tired.”

“Hmph, another one who wants to take a shortcut,” a soldier who was resting at the side said.

Andre glared at him. “What do you mean!”

“It’s obvious that you’ve absorbed more than two Flame Rocks. Do you really think you can recover after drinking some healing potions? The fire poison isn’t so easy to cure. Your entire body is in pain, right? With you like this, you’ll have to go back and lie down for at least five days.

“I’m telling you young people that you should be slow and steady when accumulating energy. There are no shortcuts. Otherwise, you will end up like him.”

The soldier picked up his helmet and stood up. He snorted again. “Why did I say that? Anyway, there will definitely be another one. If you don’t suffer a little, how can you remember?”

Captain Hu Daqin also appeared. He glanced at Qing Niao and said, “Everyone is here. Let’s return now.”

On the way back, it was Andre who supported him. When they reached the courtyard of the Saint Laurent Consortium, Qing Niao laid down on the sleeping bag.

Andre sat at the side. “Fang Ping, what’s wrong with Qing Niao?”

On the other hand, Qing Niao looked up at Fang Ping. “I’m fine, Fang Ping. Can I borrow your measuring rod?”

“Sure.”

Andre watched as Qing Niao picked up the measuring rod. He had just tested yesterday. Would anything change today?

However, his stats did change today.

“2 Strength… Qing Niao, what did you do?”

Qing Niao smiled. “For this kind of improvement, what I am going through now is not a loss.”

“Fang Ping, tell me, what happened?”
