Into the Treacherous Cave

The [Shining Lotus] is a Unique grade item but, it also almost have the same value as a Legendary grade item. It was a very hard item to find since it can only be seen in areas where it is really cold, but at the same time, filled with yang qi.

As it is already known that the yang qi represents fire, while the yin qi represents ice. Fire and Ice cannot be mixed together as they both repulse each other. So, finding an abundant amount of yang qi in an extremely cold environment is next to impossible.

Luckily, the [Frozen Cave] was such a place. It was a cave filled with an unending amount of yin qi, which means that it is really cold. Yet, at the same time, it is also filled with yang qi, which gives it the moniker of the 'Treacherous Cave'.

And the reason for that is nothing else but because of some players dying inside because of their naiveness and carelessness. It was no secret that the cave had a strange phenomenon inside, which is its everchanging temperature.

No one can clearly explain why it does it, but according to what they had analyzed, it may have something to do with the amount of yang qi and yin qi inside. But it is also because of this strange phenomenon that it had given birth to a Unique grade item like the [Shining Lotus].

"Haa~" Alex dodged the incoming attack as he spins his body to the right. After that, he jumps toward the plant that was throwing ice arrows at him. With a slash of the sword in his hands, the plant was cut into half.

Then, Alex didn't stop as he jumped once again, but this time - backward. The place he was at previously was then suddenly barraged with ice arrows.

Alex didn't waste any time anymore, with a wave of his hand, the sword in his hand disappeared and was replaced with a black bow. It was about 1 meter long and looked really eerie, it gives off the vibe of destruction.

Without placing any arrows, just placing his energies into the bow, five black arrows appeared out of nowhere. Not even looking where he was aiming, Alex shot the arrows like it was normal to shot five arrows at the same time.

"swish* POK* Kyaaaa!!"

Five plants were instantly pierced as one of them shriek in pain before dying. With the death of the last one, Alex finally stops moving, for there are no monsters anymore.

He then put the bow back in his inventory. He looked at the many plants behind him, Alex sighed. At his back, was almost a hundred plants lying on the cold ground.

"Never thought that the monsters would be even the same. Just how similar is this place to magea?" Alex didn't use the word 'world' because he is not sure if the same can be said in other parts of the world.

But he is sure of one thing though. This place is not just some kind of game where he could reincarnate when he died.

"Now then. Let's go harvest some stuff." Alex said as he looked at the yellow grass in front of him. It was shining brightly, but not bright enough to blind Alex.

The reason why he was here in the first place, is that for the benefits he could get with [Shining Lotus]. It is a Unique grade item, so there is something unique from it that makes it really valuable.

It was said that the [Shining Lotus] can be powdered and be used in the food. Eating the food mixed with the [Shining Lotus Powder] every day for approximately two-three weeks, one would be able to increase 20 levels.

In Azeroth, that would be equivalent to a level 1 low-tier New Moon Realm reaching the level 5 low-tier New Moon Realm. Though, it may not look like a good improvement for Alex it was really easy for him to level up as long as he just kills.

But waiting for about two-three weeks would be really hard, as Alex wants to establish his dominance fast so that he could control the kingdom faster. He does not want it to fall into the wrong hands.

Therefore, Alex will be mixing [Shining Lotus] with other materials to make a pill called the [Force Pill].

This pill, after swallowing it will make a person be rebirth. One's bones will be crushed and will be reformed again into a stronger one. Then, one's meridians would experience expansion by at least 2 times.

Alex plans to use this to those whom he trusts, and right now, he could only trust Lampart, that's why he had decided to ask Lampart him to find the people whom he trusts.

After that, one will find themselves suddenly possessing astonishing strength. Though, no matter how strong you are, skills always win at the end.

What's the use of being strong when you can't even bring out your full potential by using those trash moves?

"Papa, what are you thinking?" a sweet girl suddenly asked.

Alex turned to look at where the voice came from and saw Dyna picking many [Shining Lotus], that are all around the cave. He nodded in satisfaction and not the least bit worried about her safety as the cave was really calm at the moment and he had just killed the monsters around the nest.

He then continued thinking, when he suddenly realized something. He turned to look at Dyna once again. He can see her looking at him with questioning gaze and can't help but blurt out, "Dyna! What are you doing here?!"

'And why are you asking me that question? I am supposed to be the one asking you, what are you thinking and why are you with me.' Alex complained in his heart.

No matter how mischevious Dyna was, she was still, in the end, his adopted daughter. So he can't just go scolding her just because of a simple mistake. Not to mention her clear and innocent eyes looking at him.

He didn't even know if she was really a succubus or an angel....
