Yun Luohe stepped into the Lava River; the Earthvein Black Boots kicked in the instant her soles touched down. A wave of coolness rose from underfoot, walling off the molten heat.She slipped on a pair of pitch-black Fire-Raider Gloves. Scales armored the palms. With them on, the lava posed no threat at all.The orange-red magma heaved and rolled—terrifying to watch—yet Yun Luohe stood in it untouched.She bent to pick up an ordinary-looking black stone. In moments, orange-red veining surfaced across it, as if magma flowed inside.[Obtained: High-Grade Lava Stone x1][Obtained: High-Grade Lava Stone x1]…“See? That’s a lava stone. Bigger usually means better quality. Let’s grab a lot.”Yu Chenjin didn’t have the gloves, but he had other methods. He dipped his monk’s staff into the river; with a casual flick, he popped a stone out of the magma.The lava stone hit the bank and changed color at once. The moment it left the magma, it could be stowed directly into a backpack.Yun Luohe arched a brow, impressed. “Nice. That’s efficient.”“Clear the stones along this stretch first, then we’ll go look for hot springs.”Eyeballing the flow, there were a bit over thirty stones, large and small. The big ones were higher quality but harder to take: they looked anchored in the river, demanding serious force or a specialized tool to mine.She figured these counted as a special ore—just exposed right inside a magma river.Before the thought finished, Fenfen stooped out of the sky. “Chee-chee! Incoming, master—people.”Yun Luohe had already sensed nearby presences, but they weren’t strong, so she’d ignored them.She hadn’t expected them to come over on their own.She and Yu Chenjin turned together.Three figures burst out of cover.They hadn’t originally spotted Yun Luohe and Yu Chenjin; they’d actually tailed the tailers. Then they saw Yun Luohe picking stones in the Lava River and the stones shining in the sunlight once they came out—obviously valuable.The trio’s greed lit.And Yun Luohe and Yu Chenjin’s gear clearly wasn’t ordinary. If they could rob it, they’d roam Volcano Island freely instead of waddling around in thick fireproof suits.“They’re from that group on the plain,” Yu Chenjin’s eyes went cold.“Judging by that charge, they want more than a cut,” Yun Luohe said, flat.“Looks like they want our gear.”She tucked the newly gathered lava stone into her backpack and chuckled. “They must think we’re easy marks.”Her fingers rolled the Broodmother’s Ring.Dozens of spiders spilled out at once.Crimson-Blood Combat Spiders and Gold-Shell Spiders swarmed the three.The fireproof-suited players skidded to a halt; the greed on their faces flipped to shock. Aside from the leader, the other two reflexively edged back half a step.“Why are there—so many spiders?”“Damn it, did they buy from Yun Luohe? How do they have this many?”“We’ve got spiders too, but we only bought ten. What now?”“Boss, maybe… maybe forget it? That one’s probably a Beast Trainer.”“Scared of what? So it’s a Beast Trainer. Anyone who can throw down this many probably has other goodies on them.”The leader—president of the Lucky Association in District 5—had sky-high Luck, a pile of high-grade gear, and even a legendary weapon.His teammates were spooked, but he was thinking: anyone who can yank out dozens of spiders in one go must be loaded—likely carrying premium stock.“Fireproof suits block venom. Burn the spiders and keep moving. It’s two of them and three of us—how do we not take them? Move!”Before he finished, the front rank of Crimson-Blood Combat Spiders misted a fine spray of red venom. It hit the fireproof suits with a sizzle, belching stinging white smoke.Earlier, Crimson-Blood venom couldn’t melt those suits, but after devouring swarms of mutant insects and ranking up again and again, their venom was far stronger—and the ones Yun Luohe brought were all elites.The short one’s pant leg corroded open, and he howled.The other, a close-quarters assassin, wasn’t built to handle spiders—and this terrain ruined his stealth.Yun Luohe didn’t even need to move. The spiders held them at distance, unable to close.But the trio weren’t complete pushovers. While two screamed, the leader stood unscathed and drew a high-grade weapon.The weapon looked familiar—like the Bat King’s Scepter.She’d seen it on Bat Island.In a vision then, the Bat King wielded this very scepter. She wasn’t mistaken.He swept the scepter; blood-red light flared, and shadowy streaks slashed past like a flock of bats taking wing.A blood beam struck a spider and split it apart.Chu Tianchen: “Hahahahaha—so fragile? Hand over the spiders now, or I’ll kill them all. What a waste that would be.”Yun Luohe’s expression shifted. Before he could follow up, she recalled the spiders.Spiders wouldn’t solve this. She’d ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) handle it herself.“So that’s it.”One glance earlier told her he was coasting on gear. The way he swung was peak try-hard—no real technique, no evasive sense; probably just decent armor.People like this… truly lucky. Sure.Yun Luohe blinked.Too bad he met her today.She looked to Yu Chenjin.No words needed. One glance was enough.She drew the Thunder Vortex Trident and blink-stepped behind Chu Tianchen.Pale-blue light wreathed the prongs. She swept once; the shaft ripped the air, and a bolt of lightning crashed into Chu Tianchen’s back.Armor-crack: crisp and clear.He’d been smirking a heartbeat ago. He hadn’t expected her speed to be this vicious.Paralysis from the current bit into his back; only then did he scramble to dodge.She was much faster.Even armored, he was shocked numb head to toe, face taking on a sickly blue.“Die!”Chu Tianchen roared through the pain and hacked backward with the Bat King’s Scepter. The blood-gem at its head flared; spectral bat phantoms tore from nothing with fanged maws and dived for Yun Luohe.They weren’t physical—some kind of energy strike, borrowing the Bat King’s power.And it looked like the weapon could drain life.She felt her energy tick down fast, and her HP began to fall—slowly, but still. A sliver at the right moment can flip a fight.She tapped off the ground and vaulted back several meters.She met his swing midair, Thunder Vortex Trident colliding with the scepter.Sizzle—bat phantoms tangled with electric arcs; blood-red and blue light shoved against each other, evenly matched for a breath—then the bats shattered.Chu Tianchen was too weak to draw out the scepter’s power—barely scratching the surface.“The Bat King’s Scepter is strong,” she said evenly. “In your hands, it’s wasted.”In the vision, the scepter commanded ten thousand bats. In his hands, it spat a few shadows.By then, Yu Chenjin had ghosted behind the other two. He didn’t even use the staff—just flicked two pebbles into the short man’s and the assassin’s knees.They’d already been wavering, ready to bolt if things went south. Yu Chenjin gave them no chance.Their knees buckled; they dropped on the spot.He followed with two sharp kicks to their backs—no holding back. Both screamed.The screams rattled Chu Tianchen. He hadn’t expected these two to seize control in seconds.If he’d overheard what that other nearby group was saying while he was tailing them, he probably wouldn’t have rushed in like this.“Who are you?”Chu Tianchen gritted his teeth and stabbed the Bat King’s Scepter into the ground. Blood-veins across the shaft blazed; dark-red mist seeped from the ground.Yun Luohe held her breath. She didn’t know exactly what he was doing, but it wasn’t simple.The scepter was dangerous—even if he couldn’t use it well. Judging by how his face went paper-white after the move, it exacted a price.A second later, before the mist could spread, Yu Chenjin tapped his staff to the earth. Gentle gold light bloomed from the tip, lancing through the red haze. Like sun through storm-cloud, the fog melted wherever the light touched; the bloody tracery in the ground dimmed with it.“Impossible!” Chu Tianchen stared, stunned. “How did you break that?”He’d gotten the scepter on Bat Island, poured massive resources into it, then upgraded it. He could only draw out thirty percent of its power, but that blood-mist had never failed him.“You’re too weak,” Yu Chenjin said, calm.Yun Luohe took the opening. The Thunder Vortex Trident pointed straight at Chu Tianchen’s face.He reflexively raised the scepter to block—her wrist rolled, the trident’s shaft slid along the scepter, and the prongs stabbed his weapon hand dead-on.“Ah!” Paralysis ripped up his arm; his grip collapsed. The Bat King’s Scepter clanged to the ground.Yu Chenjin hooked it up with the staff and snatched it out of the air.“It’s over…” Chu Tianchen went cold.Without the scepter, he had no chance against the two of them.And his teammates were already out of the fight.He slumped to the ground. Only then did it dawn on him that he’d kicked an iron wall.These two were not ordinary players.Chu Tianchen: “Who are you?”Yun Luohe didn’t care. “You don’t need to know. Try to rob us, and you’re going to empty your backpack.”Chu Tianchen: “You already took the Bat King’s Scepter!”“Didn’t you drop it yourself?” Yun Luohe narrowed her eyes.Yu Chenjin: “If you don’t hand things over, leave your life here instead.”He pulled a dagger from his backpack, crouched, and touched it to Chu Tianchen’s throat.Chu Tianchen broke instantly. “I’ll give it.”Yun Luohe: “Behave. We have a trait that spots lies. If you try one… we kill you.”He didn’t know if she was bluffing and didn’t dare test it.Grinding his teeth, he dumped his backpack out. It wasn’t his entire net worth, but he’d brought most of his premium kit on this run. Pulling it all now was bleeding out hard.Yun Luohe glanced at Yu Chenjin.“You take first,” he said at once. “We’ll divide later.”She nodded. He tossed, she scooped.She had to admit, fools delivering resources and gear to the door felt great.It was a lot—and all of it was good.There was even a mountain of volcanic ash; no need to harvest her own.He also had a stack of high-grade devices, multiple Island Cards and Teleport Cards.A real top-tier luck-build.But even an “emperor of luck” needs a brain. Robbing her and Yu Chenjin was not it.
