219 Finding Materials Along the Way
However, Ye Fan felt that it was a little cruel, so he told his pets to stop at the right time and kill the other party. There was no need to waste time.

As the Inferno Tyrant’s spear pierced through the mammoth’s body, the mammoth died after a tragic cry. The battle ended.

The members present were dumbfounded. This mammoth was really cunning, but every one of Ye Fan’s pets was so unexpectedly strong. Originally, they thought that Ye Fan was a little too confident that he insisted on coming to the volcano to do a mission after reaching Rank-7 at such a young age. But now, it seemed that he had the capital and strength to be completely confident. Moreover, everyone looked at Ye Fan with respect.

“This is too strong, this power is overwhelming. Brother Ye Fan, are you really only Rank-7?”

“It’s so cool! Almighty, we feel much more at ease with you around!”

Xiao Wu looked at Ye Fan with admiration and reverence. She had thought that he was powerful, but she did not expect him to be so powerful. Moreover, his pets were all good at protecting their masters, and their cooperation in battle was very high.

Looking at the materials dropped by the mammoth, Ye Fan was a little disappointed that he still did not see the Earth Core Rock. Didn’t they say that there was an Earth Core Rock in the volcano? Why was the drop rate so low? How many Rank-7s had he killed? Why had it not appeared yet?

Noticing that Ye Fan was frowning as he looked at the dropped materials, Xiao Xiao sensed something. From the beginning, Ye Fan had said that there was nothing he wanted in the materials, so he gave them all to the group. Even now, Ye Fan still had this expression. Could it be that he was not here to do a mission, but to find some special and rare materials?

Moreover, even after he killed a few Rank-7 materials, the materials did not drop. These materials were probably very rare and the drop rate was extremely low. Combining these characteristics, Xiao Xiao quickly guessed what materials Ye Fan wanted. After all, he had done his homework before coming here. Of course, he knew what rare materials were unique to the volcano mountain range. He roughly guessed that they would be Earth Core Rock or Dark Fire Rock.

“Ye Fan, are you looking for some rare material?”

Ye Fan was stunned by this question, he did not expect to be seen through, but he did not plan to hide anything. He came here to find materials and complete the contribution points mission at the same time. This was his goal in coming to the volcano, he was not interested in the depths of the volcano.

“Yes, but I haven’t found it yet. I didn’t expect the drop rate to be so low.”

“If no one in the association can exchange for it, it means that the drop rate of the materials is extremely low. I guess you have to kill three to five Rank-7 pets to get an Earth Core Rock. The drop rate of the Dark Fire Stone is lower. You should be looking for one of these two, right? I guess it’s probably the Earth Core Rock. Because the Earth Core Rock is more valuable. Someone has gained it before, but there’s no one in the association who can exchange for it. There are still a few Dark Fire Stones in the association’s warehouse,” Xiao Xiao analyzed. After all, he had seen the Dark Fire Stone when he applied for the mission just now, so he used the elimination method.

Ye Fan was a little surprised. As expected, only by developing in all aspects could one become a captain. Xiao Xiao’s combat strength was the highest among the hunters, and his analysis was on point. If the vortex had not sucked them in just now, perhaps he would have brought the Green Stone Hunters back to submit the mission and sell materials.

Moreover, he had been sucked into the vortex to save Xiao Wu. It could be seen that he was a reliable and outstanding team leader. His analysis was also very accurate. He immediately guessed that Ye Fan was looking for materials and narrowed the range.

However, he couldn’t say that he was looking for materials to upgrade his pets. Wouldn’t that expose him? Ye Fan smiled and put away his pets, leaving Anissa to protect him.

“That’s right. I want to find the Earth Core Rock at the same time. I’m just curious.”
The corners of Xiao Xiao’s mouth twitched. He did not expect Ye Fan to be purely curious and even look for materials on the way. Could it be that his goal was really to complete the exploration mission? Xiao Xiao did not think too much about it, but the danger of being curious was really high. If they did not meet today, wouldn’t Ye Fan have come here alone?

Seeing that everyone had almost finished packing up the materials dropped by the mammoth, Ye Fan planned to continue forward. The deep exploration mission was only halfway done here, the exit should be ahead. Since they were already here, they had to get the Earth Core Rock, because the volcano mission was basically completed. If they did not find the materials this time, it would be a waste of time to come back again.

“By the way, a bottle of recovery water dropped from the mammoth mammoth. You’re the strongest in the team. I think this bottle of recovery water should be used by your pets. It can directly restore them to their state.”

Xiao Xiao handed over a bottle of recovery water. Actually, he did not plan to take this out, but considering that if they encountered any high-level monsters on the way, Ye Fan’s combat strength would be enough to deal with them. His group still had to rely on Ye Fan to get out. Speaking of which, it was laughable. They had originally planned to see if Ye Fan’s strength was as the rumors said. They did not expect that they would all need Ye Fan’s protection now.

This bottle of water could only recover one pet. After Ye Fan opened the interface and looked at the consumption of his pets, their battle damage didn’t exceed 80%. He didn’t need it at all. Moreover, several of his pets could recover on their own. This recovery water wasn’t very useful to him. There were no monsters here that could injure them enough to make them rely on potions.

“No need, I don’t need this, let your pet use it. Your Frost Tyrannosaurus is not bad, I suggest you use it on him.” Ye Fan said lightly, not being polite at all.

Next, they continued forward. After crossing the bridge, there was a cave entrance. The cave was indeed even stranger. This time, it was like an entire ice cave. There were no signs of living creatures at all. It was so cold that it made people tremble, as if it was an endless ice plain.

Ye Fan felt that the scene inside the barrier of the volcanic mountain range was very likely a mystic realm. His initial guess was that there would be guarding monsters in every place. Moreover, this icy plain was really huge. If they walked, they would probably freeze to death before they reached the exit.

Then, he summoned the Firmament King and planned to fly over on his pet. Xiao Xiao and the other members also got on the Frost Tyrannosaurus and followed behind Ye Fan’s Firmament King.

On the dragon’s back, the Firmament King chose a direction to fly in. Ye Fan was drawing the map of the mystic realm and guessing the direction of the exit.

Not long after, they arrived at the edge of the ice mountain. There was another hole at the edge. Behind the hole was a wooden bridge. The environment of the bridge was different from before. At first, the place they had gone to was filled with the air of spring, but the environment here was like dead wood and mud. There was no life in it.
