By the time Ling Yi's team had cleared out the Rock Giant encampment's outer perimeter, news of the raid reached the various superpowers' ears.
"How is it possible that he defeated the Rock Giants in half an hour?"
"Didn't One Wave Rush have 50 players? How can they deal so much damage?! "
"I really underestimated Ling Yi. Her team's DPS is actually so high. With this, the Rock Giant encampment might actually fall."
The various superpowers were shocked when they received the news.
The Rock Giant encampment was one of the most troublesome encampments to deal with. This was especially true because the Rock Giants possessed the ability to pierce through Defenses. Simply defending and blocking their attacks could easily lead to MTs' deaths.
Hence, when fighting the Rock Giants, MTs had to dodge as much as possible. However, the Rock Giants were massive, and their attacks had a wide AOE. Even Refinement Realm experts wouldn't be able to reduce their Stamina consumption by much. After all, the instant they dodged a Rock Giant's attacks, they'd have to exert their full strength. The only difference was the amount of Stamina they needed to dodge a Rock Giant's attacks.
Hence, when it came to Stamina consumption, Refinement Realm experts wouldn't be able to save as much Stamina as ordinary experts.
Heavy-armored MTs wouldn't have a problem dodging a Rock Giant's attacks for a short time. However, the Rock Giants had high HP and Defense. They'd have to spend a considerable amount of time to kill them. If the MTs failed to tank the Rock Giant, they'd have to start all over again …
The time they'd have to waste wasn't a big deal. The key issue was that players would lose levels upon death. At a certain point, they'd lose their weapons and equipment, and they'd lose their combat power. To put it simply, this wasn't a Team Dungeon. MTs only had a limited number of deaths.
Compared to the other superpowers, Nine Dragons Emperor, who was in the middle of raiding a monster encampment, paled when he received the news.
First, Ling Yi had stolen the Orc encampment, wasting his efforts. Now, before he had even cleared out the new encampment's outer perimeter, Ling Yi had already cleared out the Rock Giant encampment's outer perimeter, something none of the various superpowers had been willing to touch.
If this news were to reach the ears of the guild elders, their evaluation of him would definitely plummet.
"Pavilion Master, now that Ling Yi's team has cleared out the outer perimeter, we have a chance to organize a team to cause trouble. Even if we can't annihilate Ling Yi's team, we can at least prevent Ling Yi from taking down a second encampment," Martial Dragon suggested.
There was a huge difference between a monster encampment's outer region and its inner region. While the outer region had the most monsters, the inner region's monsters were generally much stronger. Take the Rock Giant encampment for example. The inner region's inner region was filled with Lord ranked Rock Giants. Although there weren't many of them, clearing them out was much more difficult.
If they gathered a sufficient number of players, it would only take 30 minutes or so for Ling Yi to reach the Guardian Boss. They definitely had a chance to ruin Ling Yi's team's raid plan. "No, we can't afford to risk it.
"No, we can't afford to take that risk. Don't forget that Zero Wing has a teleportation gate that can teleport them to any location on Thunder Island. If we send our people to cause trouble, Zero Wing might turn around and steal the Boss. By the time our people return, the battle will have long since ended. Moreover, do you think the Rock Giant encampment will be so easy to raid? Don't forget that there are Grand Lord ranked Archaic Species there." Although Nine Dragons Emperor hated to admit it, he knew that they couldn't afford to provoke Ling Yi's team right now. "Gather everyone here. We'll focus on raiding the encampment."
"I'll notify them right away."
At Nine Dragons Emperor's reminder, Martial Dragon recalled Ling Yi's trump card. This trump card was the reason why they had suffered defeat after defeat. Even now, they hadn't managed to capture a single encampment.
Meanwhile, Firmament's Guild Leader, Lonely Heaven, wore a grim expression as he watched Shi Feng's team.
How is this possible? When Lonely Heaven saw that Ling Yi had already begun to raid the Rock Giant encampment's inner area, regret filled his heart.
Previously, Feng Qianyu had placed a lot of importance on Ling Yi. He had even invested a lot of Credits into the Guild. This had made Lonely Heaven very unhappy. After all was said and done, Firmament was a bona fide first-rate Guild. At the same time, it was a large Guild focused on developing its naval forces.
However, before Feng Qianyu, Firmament wasn't even a match for the Ling YI Society.
Hence, if Lonely Heaven had joined Nine Dragons Emperor's team, not only would he obtain a temporary teleportation slot on Thunder Island, but Nine Dragons Emperor would also invest a ton of money into Firmament, helping the Guild grow even stronger.
Unfortunately, he had gone for wool and come home shorn.
Now, even if Nine Dragons Emperor managed to secure a monster encampment, he wouldn't get a temporary teleportation slot on Thunder Island. On the contrary, Ling Yi's boast that he could bring two encampments to Feng Qianyu was about to come true …
Thunder Island's temporary teleportation points!
This was the foundation of a Guild's development in the Sea of Death. Without this foundation, developing in the Sea of Death would be extremely difficult.
While Lonely Heaven regretted his decision to betray Feng Qianyu, the Shifeng team quickly cleared out the Rock Giant encampment's inner area.
Compared to the outer area, the Shifeng team was much more cautious this time. They only lured three or four parties of Great Lord ranked Rock Giants each time, while Ke Le's group took the initiative to kite the Rock Giants. Meanwhile, Solitary Nine and Dark Madness lured the Rock Giants that had lost control of their aggro. Like this, the team methodically reduced the number of Rock Giants that surrounded the Guardian Boss.
Since the team lured fewer monsters, they had a much easier time clearing out the Rock Giants.
In roughly ten minutes, they finished off a large wave of Rock Giants.
After a little over an hour, the team eliminated the 200-plus Rock Giants in the inner area. Only one Level 60 Rock King and two Level 60 Rock Guards remained in the encampment's center.
[Rock King] (Elemental Being, Archaic Species, Grand Lord) Level 60 HP 200,000,000/200,000,000
[Rock Guard] (Elemental Being, Specialized, Grand Lord) Level 60 HP 150,000,000/150,000,000
Everyone shuddered when they saw the three Bosses' HP bars up close.
The Rock Guards each had a total of three HP bars, while the Rock King had a total of five.
To ordinary players, a HP bar was merely a display of HP. However, to these beast-like monsters, the number of HP bars they had was vastly different.
Every additional HP bar represented a higher combat standard. This was the conclusion that the various large Guilds had come to after the Boss's death.
Three HP bars meant that a Boss's combat standard could reach the Trial Tower's third floor. Five HP bars meant that a Boss's combat standard could reach the Trial Tower's fifth floor. Although this wasn't necessarily accurate, it wasn't too far off.
Meanwhile, reaching the Trial Tower's fifth floor meant that a Boss was an expert.
No matter how one looked at it, they were overestimating themselves by going up against an expert with 200 million HP. Not to mention, they only had 50 players.
"Guild Leader, how should we fight this?" Shiuse Qiangwei asked as he looked at the Rock King. For a moment, he was at a loss for a strategy.
"Ke Le, Ye Wumian, and Solitary, switch shields. Ke Le will take Solitary's, Ye Wumian will take Ke Le's, and Solitary will take Ye Wumian's. Afterward, Ke Le, you'll tank the Rock King. I'll support you from the side. As for the other two Specialized Bosses, Turtledove and Ye Wumian will tank them. Solitary and Dark Madness will support you from the side. Once the battle begins, lure the two Specialized Bosses away. Everyone else, focus on attacking the Rock King!"
"If there are no problems, let's begin!"
Although Shifeng wasn't very familiar with Thunder Island's encampments, he had watched plenty of Thunder Island's encampments. Hence, he had some understanding of the Rock King's raid strategy. However, at the end of the day, an Archaic Species was still an Archaic Species. As a safety precaution, he planned to let Ke Le claim the Titan Guard.
