Something’s Wrong with This Game — I Became a God by Mining!

Zhou Zheng’s hands were steady. In his secret forging room, after melting the Blazing Gold, he dripped it drop by drop onto the Centenary Refined Vermilion Gold throwing daggers.

Each throwing dagger took only about a minute to upgrade successfully.

Yang Ling waited quietly nearby. In less than two hours, Zhou Zheng had finished his work.

All one hundred Centenary Refined Vermilion Gold throwing daggers had been upgraded to Quenched-Gold Armor-Piercing Flying Daggers.

"Quenched-Gold Armor-Piercing Flying Dagger, Attack Power 500"

"It's done. Please take a look, Director Yang."

Zhou Zheng wiped the sweat from his brow and smiled with confidence.

Not a single one of the one hundred Centenary Refined Vermilion Gold throwing daggers had failed during the upgrade.

That was the skill of a master craftsman.

Yang Ling smiled and put the throwing daggers away into his belt, then went to find the Fire Vein Poison Crocodile.

Zhou Zheng followed cautiously behind. When they reached the end of the narrow passage, Yang Ling instructed him to wait there.

"Director Yang’s skills are impressive, but relying on just one person to kill this Fire Vein Poison Crocodile… isn’t that a bit delusional…"

Zhou Zheng stopped in his tracks, staring at Yang Ling’s retreating back as he muttered to himself.

…

Yang Ling arrived near the lava pool and waited for a moment. Soon, the Fire Vein Poison Crocodile surfaced from the pool again.

Yang Ling immediately threw a flying dagger.

The dagger shot forward at extreme speed, striking directly onto the Fire Vein Poison Crocodile’s eyelid.

This time, the crocodile’s eyelid couldn’t block the dagger. It embedded itself about a cun deep.

The power of Fire Blade manifested in that instant, exploding on impact.

The sharp Quenched-Gold fragments immediately tore the Fire Vein Poison Crocodile’s eyelid to shreds!

At the same time, another flying dagger arrived in response, destroying the crocodile’s other eye.

In just one exchange, the Fire Vein Poison Crocodile was blinded.

It let out a berserk roar, its body twisting and thrashing as if in excruciating pain.

Yang Ling calmly retreated, continuing to strike the crocodile’s eyes with flying daggers.

Those two eyes were the Fire Vein Poison Crocodile’s weak point.

Attacking there would save a lot of effort.

The Fire Vein Poison Crocodile swung its head wildly and charged straight at Yang Ling. At the same time, the horns on its head launched a volley of fireballs!

With a thought, Yang Ling activated Flame Immunity!

The fireballs struck him, but it was like hitting air.

His Vital Qi dropped at a visible rate, but it was far lighter than when he had taken a direct hit from a fireball earlier.

To his senses, the fireball had lost its impact and had no heat.

It was no different from a passing breeze.

"So Flame Immunity really does work against this kind of attack."

Yang Ling felt a slight relief in his heart.

If he encountered similar attacks in the future, he would have more confidence.

Earlier, when he had taken a direct fireball hit, he had lost a full 900 points of Vital Qi. Now, with Flame Immunity active, after tanking three or four fireballs in a row, he had only lost about a hundred or two hundred points.

That was the difference between using a skill and not using one.

As he retreated, Yang Ling kept attacking the crocodile’s eyes with his flying daggers.

It seemed to sense the danger and the prey’s intention. The Fire Vein Poison Crocodile began thrashing its head wildly.

But no matter how it twisted, the flying daggers kept landing in the same spot.

Yang Ling always chose the perfect timing, throwing a few predictive daggers, relentlessly targeting its weak points!

Throughout the whole process, he was as calm as if he weren’t even alive.

With Micro-Management-level power control, he used the minimal cost to achieve maximum results.

In the blink of an eye, Yang Ling had already used over a dozen Quenched-Gold Armor-Piercing Flying Daggers.

Each one was like a high-powered grenade.

The crocodile’s head was covered in scratches. Even its hard scales were scarred with countless marks from the dagger fragments.

It seemed like it had never been so humiliated before. Rage made it let out ear-piercing roars.

The roars echoed instantly through every branch of the mine shaft.

Up on the surface, everyone had been waiting quietly for Yang Ling to return from his survey.

But instead, they were greeted by a bone-chilling roar.

Those miners who had encountered this mine beast before couldn’t help but tremble in their legs.

They had caught only a glimpse of it earlier in the depths and knew all too well how terrifying the Fire Vein Poison Crocodile was.

Qin Mo and the others showed looks of shock. Had they run into that mine beast already?

Their hearts were uneasy. They wondered if Yang Ling and Zhou Zheng could handle it and whether they would make it out alive.

Zhao Qing stared grimly at the entrance of the Blazing Gold Mine, then suddenly smiled:

"It seems Director Yang is lucky. He’s already found the Fire Vein Poison Crocodile. Judging by the beast’s cries, it seems they’ve already crossed blows."

"The Fire Vein Poison Crocodile seems a bit angry…"

Juewang murmured softly: "Earlier, when Elder Qian and I faced it, its roars weren’t this intense."

Shi Xin was slightly startled and instinctively looked at Xu Wuji:

"Eunuch Xu, shouldn’t we go down to help?"

"What kind of existence is the Fire Vein Poison Crocodile? With your level of strength, what could you do down there? You’d just be throwing your lives away."

Zhao Qing said with a half-smile:

"As long as Yang Ling doesn’t get too arrogant, he should be able to come out alive. But how badly he’ll be injured, I can’t say."

Throughout this, the roars from below grew more and more terrifying.

The ground beneath everyone’s feet seemed to tremble faintly.

A chill crept into their hearts.

The Blazing Gold Mine was over a hundred zhang deep. Even from such a distance, the ground trembled—a testament to how powerful the roars were.

Xu Wuji suddenly thought of something and looked at Qian Dalong and Juewang:

"The Fire Vein Poison Crocodile you saw—did it have horns on its head?"

Qian Dalong clasped his hands and said: "Eunuch Xu, we didn’t get a clear look back then. I can’t say for sure whether it had horns."

Juewang thought for a moment, then nodded lightly:

"This humble monk seems to recall that the Fire Vein Poison Crocodile did indeed have horns on its head."

"How long were they?"

Xu Wuji’s face darkened.

Qian Dalong and Zhao Qing frowned slightly.

"About a foot long."

Juewang said thoughtfully.

Shi Xin and the others sensed something was off and looked at Xu Wuji.

Xu Wuji muttered to himself:

"If it has horns, that means this is a beast undergoing metamorphosis into a Fire Vein Poison Crocodile King.

Thankfully, the horns are only about a foot long. If they were two feet long, it would mean the transformation was complete.

The Fire Vein Poison Crocodile King is far stronger than an ordinary Fire Vein Poison Crocodile. Even with immature horns, it can unleash fireballs capable of melting metal and stone."

Fireballs!? Qin Mo and the other players’ faces changed dramatically.

Could the beasts in the Divine Realm actually have abilities like that!?

The beasts they had seen before were limited to having terrifying physical strength.

Shi Xin coldly looked at Zhao Qing and the others:

"If that’s the case, why didn’t you inform Director Yang earlier that this was a Fire Vein Poison Crocodile undergoing metamorphosis!?"

Zhao Qing frowned: "I didn’t go down into the mine shaft. How would I know?"

Qian Dalong: "I didn’t get a clear look earlier. I was too busy running for my life."

Juewang remained silent.

Shi Xin grew anxious and said to Xu Wuji:

"Eunuch Xu, why don’t I take a few men down to back him up?"

"With your strength, you’d just be serving as a snack for the Fire Vein Poison Crocodile."

Xu Wuji let out a derisive laugh, then looked at Qian Dalong and Juewang:

"Both of you are Lower Sixth-Rank. You should go down there."
