Attribute restraint? Sorry, I am a full magician

Chapter 39

After all the fire ants left, Tan Xiao spread out a sheepskin scroll that was nearly one meter long and wide in the cave he had just opened as a temporary residence.

"what--"

He breathed towards the magic feather pen he took out. The tip of the magic feather pen absorbed water and quickly became moist and shiny.

Tan Xiaoxian divided the sheepskin scroll into three parts based on the memory of his previous life, and drew a detailed map starting from the northeast.

Lina, who was resting on the side, immediately saw that what Tan Xiao had drawn was their route in Woz Highland today.

It's just that the location of the gold mine was represented by a huge pothole. It seemed that the fate of the gold mine had been drawn on the scroll.

Feeling Lina's gaze, Tan smiled and said,
  "This is a task given by Rebecca. Draw a map of Wards Highlands. The more detailed the map, the greater the reward."

Before Tan Xiao left Fast City, he made a special trip to find Rebecca, for no other reason than the mission [Betting on Rising Stars].

That was the first time he got a system prompt after he accepted the mission, asking him to find Rebecca to get the follow-up mission.

So, he got the task [Exploring Wards Highlands], which coincided with his itinerary.

"Compared with special props, experience and skills are the most important thing."

Thinking of the description of the mission reward, Tan Xiao couldn't help but murmur in a low voice.

In this life, I don't know if it was a side effect of the arcane heart that caused the experience he gained to diminish. Moreover, the attenuation ratio was quite large, which really gave him a headache.

The existence of the ten-series talent tree means that his demand for skill points has also risen to an extremely terrifying level.

However, Tan Xiao thought about today's harvest from the gold mine. This gold mine alone would allow him to complete at least five tasks, and the experience points gained would at least allow him to level up.

He looked at the experience bar that was now halfway through Level 15, and secretly thought that if he completed the collection tasks in Wards Highlands, he should level up four more levels to reach Level 20.

Then he would dare to go deeper into the southwest volcanoes and try some crusade missions.

The generally high level of bosses in Wards Highland forced him to act with caution.

At this moment, Lina's voice interrupted his thinking.

"Your Excellency Feng Sheng, this location seems to be wrong. There should be a hillside. And here, if I remember correctly, the slope is not quite right. It should be gentler."

As if aware of her overstep, Lina quickly apologized,
  "Sorry, maybe I remembered it wrong."

Lina's face was a little red due to nervousness. After seeing Tan Xiao's terrifying fighting power and endless strange skills, she would inevitably deify Tan Xiao in her heart.

For this kind of questioning Tan Xiao, she felt that she probably remembered it wrong.

Tan Xiao was not angry. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and looked carefully at the two parts that Lina just pointed out. He pondered for a moment and looked at Lina in surprise.

But seeing this action in Lina's eyes, she became even more frightened. She felt that she must have said the wrong thing, and her face became even redder.

She was about to apologize when she heard Tan Xiao say,
  "Awesome! Lina!"

Tan Xiao picked up the magic feather pen and changed both the things Lina mentioned.
  "I'll draw the first version from now on, and you'll check and fill in the gaps!"

Realizing Lina's keen insight into the terrain, he couldn't conceal his excitement.

It seems that the accuracy of the map drawn by Wards Heights this time is one or two levels higher, so it may be better to get corresponding rewards.

At this moment, he suddenly saw the reputation of his [Heart of the King] begin to beat, (377/500) → (428/500).

"Huh? What happened? Why did your reputation increase inexplicably?"

Tan Xiao didn't know that a major purge was going on in Fast Village at the moment. As several charred corpses were hung on the city wall, the name of [Destiny] Guild spread again, and the name of [Destiny] Guild [Feng Sheng] was once again spread by word of mouth, allowing people to enter Fast from Leitz City. The local humans in the city could not help but have a strong interest in the adventurer [Feng Sheng].

These charred corpses also showed Sherani's attitude. As the acting city lord, he would use these charred corpses as a signal to start purging the increasingly complex forces in the city. Even if he couldn't uproot it, he still wanted to make those forces understand that Fast Village was not a place where they could do whatever they wanted.

Naturally, Tan Xiao didn't know all this. He had no time to take into account his sudden rise in reputation now.

Because a creature he had never seen before had appeared near the cave where he was.

The fire ant king found Tan Xiao along with the pheromones left by his group.

"Hiss—has anyone really become a fire ant king?"

The moment Tan Xiao saw the fire ant king appear, he felt bad because its size was a bit exaggerated.

At the same time, the opponent was up to Level 17 and had obviously undergone a transformation. Tan Xiao was not sure whether the opponent's habits had changed.

He could only draw out his staff and prepare for a fierce battle.

However, what happened next was beyond Tan Xiao's expectation. The fire ant king did not take the initiative to step forward, but instead used its tentacles to collect pheromones. As the ant king, it obviously possesses higher intelligence.

After a brief thought, it carried a piece of gold mine gravel to the place where Tan Xiao once placed his backpack, and then looked at Tan Xiao's movements.

"Ah this."

Tan Xiao and the nervous Lina looked at each other, both a little surprised, but that didn't stop Tan Xiao from throwing a ball of fire.

The fire ant king got what it wanted, and the following series of actions refreshed Tan Xiao's knowledge again.

The fire ant king once again carried an ordinary piece of gravel and placed it in the previous position. Then it looked at Tan Xiao and saw that Tan Xiao had no reaction. It instantly understood something and turned around to leave.

"In the past, I deliberately guided the fire ants to move which piece of ore they needed based on where the flames fell. This king fire ant seems to have understood the previous pattern through pheromones, so it is..."

Tan Xiao looked doubtfully at the fire ant king who was gradually moving away. The other party turned to look at Tan Xiao as well. As his antennae trembled, a guess emerged in his mind.

"Has he already figured out that what I'm looking for is a gold mine?"

Tan Xiao took a few tentative steps, and the Fire Ant King also took a few steps forward before stopping.

"really!"

Tan Xiao was already sure that the other party was going to take him somewhere.

"Come on, let's go and see!"

Lina also realized the intention of the Fire Ant King at this moment and quickly followed.

An hour later, under the leadership of the Fire Ant King, Tan Xiao came to an area that he had never set foot in in his previous life, and this area was a place that had been judged to be a dead end in his previous life.

As he continued to go deeper, his and Lina's eyes changed from confusion to shock, and then from shock to ecstasy.

Their faces at this moment have been dyed golden by the reflection of the firelight.

As for why it was golden, it was because they entered a cave that was covered with high-purity gold mines. Under the swaying firelight, their bodies were coated with gold.

"The God of Wealth has appeared? He wants me to get rich overnight!"

Tan Xiao's eyes sparkled. For him, although money is not everything, being without money is absolutely impossible.

After all, who wants more money?
