Chapter 83 - Subdue the Lava Crocodile
As the notification changed, Klein took out his shovel and began digging upwards.
Little Fox hung in front of Klein, and Little Wind moved up behind him bit by bit.
About fifteen meters away, the tunnel was dug up.
Little Wind jumped lightly on his shoulder and entered, then it was Little Fox’s turn. Klein was the last one to go up.
The 46th catacomb.
Klein steadied himself and immediately felt the heat around him,
Ten meters away, there was indeed boiling lava.
As far as his eyes could see, he could see a few figures. This was the Lava Crocodile’s iron treasure chest. It was on a stone platform high up in the sky.
“Don’t move here. I’ll go up and get the treasure chest.”

With a sound of the propeller, Klein stepped on the ground and quickly flew up into the sky.
When he flew past above the lava…
The Lava Crocodile pounced from below, but it couldn’t reach him…
It fell back into the lava. Klein ignored it and landed on the stone platform to inspect the treasure chest.
Just as he was about to open it, he suddenly heard some sounds coming from below. The Lava Crocodile had come out. Klein’s heart stirred. He put away the iron treasure first and stuck his head out to take a look.
As expected, the four limbs of the Lava Crocodile impatiently climbed out of the lava and opened its bloody mouth as it closed in on Little Fox and Little Wind.
The Lava Crocodile’s crawling speed was slow. Little Fox and Little Wind didn’t panic in the face of the encirclement with their backs against each other.
‘Let’s not make a move first and see how they respond.’
Klein took the next step and jumped off the platform. He floated in the air and took out the lightning bow and arrow to hold the line in the air. He also had the intention of supervising the battle.
If there were any accidents, he would immediately take action. Before that, he needed to temper Little Fox and Little Wind.
The Lava Crocodile wasn’t very dangerous. Its main advantage was that it was trapped in the lava. Other creatures couldn’t move about easily in the lava. Without the threat of the lava protecting it, the danger level would be greatly reduced.
Just as Klein had expected, after the two sides exchanged blows, the Lava Crocodile was completely no match for them.
Little Wind crushed one of the Lava Crocodile with his Assault Hammer.
Another one was sent flying by him.
Little Fox relied on her speed to play. She had Copper Skin and Iron Bones, which could offset the Lava Crocodile’s attacks. However, Little Fox’s lethality didn’t seem to be enough. Under Klein’s observation, he realized that Little Fox’s strength was too low.
It seemed like he needed to strengthen Little Fox’s strength in the future.
He didn’t know if he could give the strength scroll to Little Fox, but Klein had a whim so he wouldn’t sell any enchantment scrolls.
The bow and arrow tore through the air, and the remaining two Lava Crocodile that wanted to escape were directly killed by the bow and arrow.

[System notification: Soul+3]
All four Lava Crocodile died in one wave.
Klein received a total of 12 souls.
There was no sign of other Lava Crocodile in the lava.
These fellows had paid the price for their arrogance. If they were to hide in the lava, Klein wouldn’t be able to deal with them. At most, they would leave Klein with the iron treasure chest,
He landed on the ground and retrieved the corpses of the four Lava Crocodiles.
[Lava Crocodile Meat+20, Lava Crocodile Blood+4,000ml, Lava Crocodile Bone+16, Lava Crocodile Skin+4.]
Among them, other than the usual absorption of Lava Crocodile bones, the other three had special effects.
[Lava Crocodile Meat: The meat always exudes warmth and tastes fresh and tender. If taken frequently, it can increase high temperature resistance. The current satiation index is 73.]
[Lava Crocodile Blood: It cannot be drunk. When flammable, its form will be the same as magma.]
[Lava Crocodile Skin: Even if it is placed in lava, it won’t be burned. It will be a very good fire bed.]
Klein put away the few items before removing the Low-Grade Enhancement Power Scroll from the trade channel.
“Little Fox, come over.”
Klein waved his hand, and Little Fox obediently came in front of him.
Her small head propped up his calf.
“I don’t know if I can let you use it. Try putting your paws on it.” When Klein first used the scroll, it didn’t allow him to choose a target, which was why he only thought of it today.
Little Fox tilted her head in puzzlement. Then, she lowered her pink little paws and pressed on the scroll for a moment. The patterns on the scroll began to glow, and just like when Klein used it, the entire scroll turned into ashes and fused into Little Fox’s body.
Klein was delighted.
With that, Little Fox’s strength would be greatly increased, and her lethality would also increase explosively.
Little Fox was very happy as she rubbed against Klein’s ankles again.
Her strength was much greater than before. Klein was unable to win against her, and he nearly fell.
“Little Fox, your strength has increased by a lot. You have to control it in the future.”
Klein patted her head.
Little Fox nodded with a half-understanding look. The next second, she turned around and sent Little Wind that was about to rub against his legs flying with a slap.
‘Her strength has indeed increased by quite a bit.’
Opening the chest.
Klein ignored the two little fellows.
He took out the iron treasure chest and placed it on the ground. He had the blessing buff today, so there was no need to leave it open later.
He blew on his palm, then he opened it.

[System notification: Perfect Runic Greenhouse Blueprint+1]
The iron treasure chest was decomposed first.
Klein grabbed the blueprint. The planter pot was the same, which meant that the scale was different. The Perfect Runic Greenhouse could be built indoors or outdoors on a larger scale. Any soil could be fertilized, and it could speed up the growth of the plants.
In simple terms, it was an extended version of the runic planter.
“Learn,” Klein recited.
