As soon as Shifeng stepped into the pitch-black shrine, the scenery before him changed abruptly. It was as if he had stepped through a teleportation gate and arrived in another space.
He was in a dark forest. From time to time, he could hear the howls of wolves echoing in his ears. In the darkness of the night, he could faintly see crimson lines flashing across the treetops.
"Is this … a battle for survival?"
Shifeng scanned his surroundings. Although it was night and players' vision was affected, he could still see his surroundings clearly.
The surrounding treetops were filled with well-armed werewolves with crossbows in their hands. There were more than ten of them, and there were more than ten werewolves with spears and heavy swords hidden under the trees. They were surging with killing intent like an orderly army.
Every one of these Werewolves was Level 55 or above, with the highest being Level 58. These well-equipped Werewolves were either Elites or Special Elites. If an ordinary player encountered them, they would definitely die.
As Shifeng observed these Werewolves …
The sound of a system notification reached his ears.
System: Clear this Divine Shrine and you will receive a reward.
After the system notification ended, the system map appeared before him. A teleportation point was marked in the center of the forest. It was obvious that the system was telling him to leave the Divine Shrine.
However, before Shi Feng could get a closer look, the Werewolves hiding in the treetops launched their attacks, firing three bolts from their triple crossbows. Over a dozen Werewolves attacked simultaneously, their bolts raining down on Shi Feng. At the same time, the Werewolves hiding behind the trees began to surround Shi Feng.
How troublesome. I can't use my Teleportation Skill. It seems that I have no choice but to run.
Shifeng glanced at the fierce Werewolves charging at him. Originally, he had considered using the Seven Luminaries Ring to teleport to the Divine Shrine. However, since the Skill was prohibited, he had no choice but to unsheathe Killing Ray from his waist. He then took a step forward, his body transforming into an afterimage.
The arrows from the treetops might be very troublesome for ordinary players, but they were nothing to Shifeng. Not only did he dodge the arrows with ease, but he also appeared before a Level 56 Elite Werewolf in the blink of an eye. He then lightly swung Killing Ray.
Shadow Blade!
As several sword lights flashed, damages in the tens of thousands appeared above the two-meter-tall Werewolf's head. Like a cannonball, the Elite Werewolf flew back and slammed into a Werewolf behind it. The Elite Werewolf flew over 20 yards before its HP plummeted to zero, its body disintegrated into ash, and several Copper Coins fell to the ground …
There's a normal drop? Shifeng was surprised as he looked at the scattered Copper Coins.
Originally, he thought that it would be a wasted effort. After all, this was also a kind of test.
However, Shi Feng had no intention of killing more Werewolves. Instead, he slipped through the encirclement and made his way towards the forest's teleportation array.
God's Domain's players were very familiar with survival battles. After all, such situations had occurred many times in Dungeons. If players chose to kill monsters, they would only end up wasting time in an endless slaughter. Not to mention, players did not have that much time to waste. Moreover, even if they killed monsters easily, they would still consume their Stamina. If players ran out of Stamina, they would be nothing more than lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
Seeing Shifeng dashing into the forest's depths, the Werewolves went berserk. They chased after Shifeng, but Shifeng was simply too fast. Even the Special Elite Werewolves could only watch as the Shifeng disappeared from their sight …
After a few minutes, Shifeng arrived before the teleportation array in the middle of the forest.
However, before Shifeng could approach the teleportation array, he felt a chill. This chill came from a one-eyed Werewolf carrying a massive saber on its back.
"A Realm Lord?" Shifeng could not help his surprise as he stared at the one-eyed Werewolf.
The one-eyed Werewolf was over three meters tall. Although it was only a Level 58 Special Elite, the Mana surrounding it was extraordinarily frightening. It was as if it were a pet of this territory.
Phantom Werewolf (Realm Lord)
[Humanoid Creature] (Special Elite) Level 58 HP 4,200,000/4,200,000
In God's Domain, a Realm Lord did not represent a monster's rank or Bloodline rank. Instead, a Realm Lord was more like a blessing. Not only would a Realm Lord increase the power of a monster's Skills and Spells, but the Realm Lord would also strengthen a monster's physique and HP. It was akin to a BOS among monsters of the same Tier and Level.
Realm Lords were not rare in God's Domain. However, they would only appear in resource-rich areas after Level 50. Realm Lords would become the protectors of those resource-rich areas. So long as a Realm Lord was in that area, they would possess frightening combat power.
Normally, players would avoid a Realm Lord if they encountered one.
This was because fighting such monsters was not worth it. The items dropped by such monsters were not much better than the items dropped by monsters of the same Tier. Hence, players avoided such monsters as much as possible to save themselves from a thankless battle.
"Is the Divine Shrine itself a kind of opportunity?" Shifeng's lips curled into a grin after recovering from his surprise.
When players first discovered a Realm Lord, they would avoid it as much as possible. However, there would always be unavoidable battles. In the end, players would have no choice but to kill the Realm Lords in the area.
However, as the number of Realm Lords they killed increased, they discovered something.
That was the Magic Crystal Shard!
Only Realm Lords would drop these items. Other monsters wouldn't drop them at all.
Mana Crystal Fragments weren't particularly useful on their own. At most, they were supplementary materials used to craft weapons and equipment. However, when Mana Crystal Fragments were fused into Mana Crystals, their value would increase by at least a hundredfold.
Mana Crystals were the main source of energy for the various NPC cities' teleportation arrays. Not only did they contain a frightening amount of Mana, but they could also replenish their Mana by absorbing the ambient Mana. Only, the recovery time was a little long. The recovery time depended on the ambient Mana density. Normally, in a normal environment, a Mana Crystal would take a maximum of 48 hours to fully replenish its Mana.
Hence, Mana Crystals were a type of Magic Crystal that could last forever. They were the most suitable energy source for teleportation arrays. As long as a Guild had enough Mana Crystals, it could allow players to teleport to other locations without needing to use Magic Crystals. This would save the Guild a lot of Magic Crystals.
As for the Mana Crystals' value, it was easy to imagine.
After all, Magic Crystals weren't that easy to obtain in God's Domain. The various large Guilds and players were in dire need of them.
In Shifeng's opinion, a Special Elite ranked Realm Lord was practically a mobile source of Mana. Immediately, he charged at the Realm Lord. He had no intention of circling around the Phantom Werewolf and using the teleportation array to leave the Divine Shrine.
When the Phantom Werewolf saw Shifeng charging at it, it bellowed and raised its greatsword, preparing to slash at the Realm Lord.
As the Phantom Werewolf's greatsword flashed, over a dozen Magic Wind Blades flew at the Shifeng simultaneously, giving the Shifeng no time to dodge.
However, Shifeng's Basic Attributes weren't suppressed at all. Although these Magic Wind Blades had been strengthened to the point where they could rival Tier 2 Spells of the same level, they were meaningless before Shifeng, who had Strength that surpassed a Great Lord of the same level.
Sword's Orbit!
Shifeng's greatsword flashed as he cleaved apart several of the Magic Wind Blades. He then charged up to the Phantom Werewolf.
Shadow Blade!
Thunder Flame Explosion!
Flame Burst!
The Phantom Werewolf, which had 4,200,000 HP, lost HP like flowing water. No matter how the Phantom Werewolf struggled, Shifeng's attacks devoured its HP, one attack at a time. When the Phantom Werewolf collapsed to the ground, it transformed into a black mist and dissipated. The surging Mana in the area also calmed down.
Meanwhile, the Phantom Werewolf had dropped a pair of Level 55 Bronze Plate Leg Guards and a black crystal particle. There were also several dozen Copper Coins …
Although the loot wasn't spectacular, Shifeng's eyes glowed when he saw the black crystal particle.
