Digging To Survive: I Can See Hints Chapter 83
Advertisement
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]
[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.

Paladin
When the first derelict alien spacecraft fell to Earth, humanity took what was found in it and propelled themselves to new heights. In their new Golden Age, humanity developed technology that they had only dreamed about. The following years saw hundreds more ships crash into the planet, spurring even greater technological leaps. An unassuming spacecraft, one of the dozens that fell yearly, descended on Siberia in 2021. The world took no particular notice of it. However, this one contained something beyond the miraculous technology that had made humans so prosperous. Three years later, in a top-secret underground facility in eastern Colorado, the automated construction of an army of Paladin Mobile Infantry Suits was underway. With this new, state-of-the-art weaponry, the military would turn the tide against the alien incursion that was consuming the planet. Humanity fell before that could happen. Sam was an engineer responsible for overseeing the facility. Now alone, he lives in utter boredom and near insanity, his only company the base’s pseudo AI and an army of empty Paladins. With the world gone to hell around him, and the things that caused it still living above, he decides that he is much better off staying exactly where he is. Unfortunately for him, that is no longer an option. This is the first novel I've written. The first fifteen or so chapters are going to be a little slower. I want there to be time to get to know the characters before they start blowing stuff up. Also, though the MC will be strong relative to the world, he won't be OP, and won't win every fight. Not every fight will be physical either. Currently, I'm aiming for something like 5 fairly short chapters a week, after the introduction part is done, but we'll see how that goes. Thanks for reading, and please let me know if I've made mistakes!
8 55Dragon: Birth of an Ancient
Deep in a secluded forest, within the depths of a long forgotten cave, an unnatural silence that has reigned for little over a million years is shattered as a hatchling takes its first breath. To the various species that called this world, one of seven, home, the matter seemed beyond insignificant. The hatchling, like all monsters, had no divine backing and with its age, could only be considered a lesser existence. A being to be used by the Chosen and noble monster bloodlines in their never-ending pursuit of power, fame and immortality. However, how could any of the short-lived races, Chosen and Monster alike, know that the tiny, weak, lizard-like creature was much more than it seemed. That it was an entity only spoken of in myth and legend. From a species that their ancestors, with the backing of the Gods, paid a huge price to remove. A heretical existence that threatened the fragile peace that had descended upon their world. A Dragon. ==== ** Cover done by the amazing Felix!*** I am writing this story for a friend who is currently in hospital and in a very precarious situation. He gave me the plot/ concept and, after my own health issues, I wanted to try and brighten his day and provide a distraction from the monotony of their hospital stay. I am posting it on RRL mainly in case anyone else can find enjoyment from the story and to show the readers of my other stories that I am not permanently MIA (and will 100% return to those stories in the future).

8 140The Arcane Prince
Book 1 is complete and fully posted here on RoyalRoad. The story is on break as I work on Book 2, which will be posted once I have finished writing it. Max is a twelve-year-old boy from the slums who dreams of seeing the world, learning magic, and adventure. On the same day that Max learns his first spell, he meets Colt, a noble-born lad on his own path to power. Colt is kind. Oblivious to the world, but kind. By his grace, Max begins to learn under Colt's instructor, even hunting monsters in the forests to the north. Max is talented and grows in power quickly, but as he prepares for the first of his adventures, the kingdom faces the greatest threat in centuries. Posting Schedule: Every 3 days until the end of Book 1 (Chapter 45). IMPORTANT NOTES: 1) This is a story about an OP boy doing OP boy things. By the end of Book 1, there will be few fights that he struggles with, and he will rarely, if ever, find his life in peril. 2) This is a slice-of-life and adventure story, which means that there will be periods of chapters without any action or conflict, but also periods of chapters with battles and exploration/adventure (the latter mostly being Book 2+). 3) There will be NO petty squabbles or conflicts going on in this story, because it is meant to be a fun one, not a high-tension, drama-filled story. So it will NOT be that. If you want lots of action or lots of conflict, then find another story to read because this isn't it. 4) There will never be an overarching evil/villain/conflict to deal with in this story past Book 1. Ever. 5) Book 1 is entirely written and can be considered a standalone story on its own. Right now, the story may last 2-3 books, or it may last 7-10 books. It is guaranteed to make it through Book 2 or 3, and if I decide to go with the bigger journey I have planned after that, then it will be longer. There will be a several-month wait between Book 1 and Book 2. 6) The story contains the sexual content tag, but it will not contain any unless Max and his future boyfriend reach 18+ years of age in-story. If I decide to bring the story to a conclusion with Book 2 or 3, or they never reach that age in the full story for the long journey, then I will remove the tag. 7) There are currently absolutely no plans to make this story into a harem if I write the extended story. If I write the extended story and decide at some point to make it one, then I will add the appropriate tag and inform readers of this decision. However, there are currently zero plans to make it one. 8) This story takes place in its own story universe, with its own rules. Please keep that in mind when reading it and other stories.
