258 Big Brother Xu Yuan, Please Help!
After passing through the long passageway, they entered the second floor.
This was the smelting room, where all kinds of magic materials were smelted. Dozens of giant furnaces graced the wide room.
There were four giant bellows placed under each furnace. These furnaces had long been extinguished, leaving a few rare ores scattered on the ground.
The magic array on the wall had also dimmed. The most eye-catching thing was one of the furnaces, which was 30 meters tall. It was engraved with countless runes.
The grandness left everyone in awe. Su Wan realized that she knew close to nothing about this world. There was so much to discover! She cleared her head and turned to her fellow Lords. She wanted to discuss with them whether they should send a troop to examine the area. There were definitely useful ores and gems in the room.
Rumble!
The open passage behind them suddenly closed. Even the gap between the doors had disappeared. They were locked in!
The moment the passageway and the door disappeared; the furnaces came to life. They burned anew.
The huge bellows under the furnaces blew air into them. Dozens of furnaces worked suddenly.
The fire raised the temperature of the room and everything felt warm and stuffy.
Xu Yuan’s calm face changed slightly as he encountered new danger. This wasn’t very harmful to him but others would die if they didn’t act fast.
“Everyone, leave this place!” shouted Xu Yuan.
Su Wan heeded his words. She commanded the troops to rush to the exit. However, as they ran, the furnaces close by released a spray of molten metal.
The hot molten metal sizzled as it hit the ground and turned black. Lin Yao noticed a terrifying creature covered in flames that crawled out of one of the furnaces.
This was only the beginning. Dozens of fiery fireballs crawled out of the ignited furnaces. Each of them exuded a powerful aura. The scorching heat was enough to melt everything.
“Quickly! Retreat to the tunnel!”
As the troops ran, Xu Yuan activated the True Eye of the Demon Dragon and looked at the fiery creatures.

The temperature increased in the room.
“These elemental lifeforms were captured by the Magic Tower from the elemental plane to smelt magic materials. With so many Fire Elemental Lifeforms here, there is bound to be a Fire Elemental Lord somewhere nearby! ” Su Wan was anxious. Her mouth was dry.
The 30-meter-tall furnace began to shake violently. Red molten metal splattered everywhere. It was as though a volcanic eruption was going to take place any time.
A giant creature crawled out of the furnace. It was about 15 meters tall. It was encased in burning flames. The temperature increased and pressure built up. It felt like everyone was being crushed under some unseen impact.
Zhao Qingrong opened the attribute panel of the creature.

A cold shiver ran down her spine. She didn’t have the True Eye of the Demon Dragon ability to fully see its attributes.
Magic puppets could drop gems, but the Fire Elemental Lifeforms could drop Fire Elemental Cores! This was the charm of the ruins! You never knew what you encountered in such a place.
They were terrified but also thrilled. This was their chance to obtain something precious.
“We have to deal with the Fire Elemental Lifeforms first before dealing with the Fire Elemental Lord.”
Under Shi Linglong’s orders, the front row of the Battleaxes Warriors attacks vigorously. Battleaxes veered through the air.
More than thirty warriors guarded the passage. There was also the Cursed Pharaoh and two heroes to support them. There was also a team of Dark Gargoyles in the front to assist them.
The battle lasted for about an hour. A souk-shaking roar rang out. The Fire Elemental Lifeforms retreated like a tide.
After a while, the high temperature gradually subsided. The Fire Elemental Lifeforms returned to the furnaces.
Su Wan let out a long breath of relief when she saw this. She did not feel joy at having defeated the enemy. Instead, she felt a little regretful. How many Fire Elemental Cores had dropped?
Elemental Cores were a treasure they couldn’t ignore. With Xu Yuan present, they could resurrect the dead troops indefinitely. She wanted to collect the cores.
She ordered two teams of giant Lizards to search for the Fire Elemental Cores that might have been dropped by the fiery creatures.
She sent the Battleaxes Warriors to the rear to join the fight which was still ongoing. There were still some magic puppets l to deal with.
When they joined the fight, the enemies were defeated in droves. More gems scattered on the ground as the magic puppets died.
Fortunately, they all had the Demonic Dragon’s Blessing cast upon them. So, there was no need to worry. The troops would surely win.
There was no talk about going deeper. Everyone was tired from the recent fight. They were physically and mentally drained. It was not something that could be solved by casting buffs.
“Xu Yuan, why don’t you join and help them?” asked Su Wan. When she didn’t get a response, she tried again. “Big Brother Xu Yuan, please help!”
