The Ling YI Society's sudden actions didn't just surprise the adventurer teams. The several superpowers and first-rate Guilds also stared at the Ling YI Society in astonishment.
"What's Ling Yi trying to do?"
Everyone was confused by Ling Yi's actions.
The terrain in this dark canyon was complex. While there might seem to be many paths leading to the top of the mountain, there were only a few that could be chosen. If one made the slightest mistake or missed the right opportunity, they could fall into a desperate situation. It wouldn't be surprising if they were eliminated in the end.
Although players wouldn't lose a single level after dying in the Primordial Divine Ruin, they would still lose 20% of their EXP each time they died. If they died in large numbers, the consequences would be dire.
The only way to reach the top of the mountain safely was to follow teams that were already familiar with the terrain.
Of course, following teams wasn't an easy task. While they might take the same path, if the timing wasn't right, they would still be in danger. It all depended on the team's standards. For example, the two superpowers that had visited the Primordial Divine Ruin for the first time wouldn't have any problems navigating the terrain. The other adventurer teams weren't nearly as good.
Yet, the Ling YI Society didn't even understand this basic principle. Instead, it was brazenly marching up the mountain. It was simply suicidal.
Ke Le, Turtledove, Ye Wumian, and Violet Cloud took the lead as they dashed down the gravel path filled with wandering ghosts. Meanwhile, the 15 MTs from the Magic Light Team followed behind the team to protect them. As for the Conqueror team, they spread out on either side of the 1,000-man legion and advanced in an orderly manner.
[Ghost Knight] (Undead, Chieftain) Level 50 HP 6,000,000/6,000,000
[Ghost Berserker] (Undead, Lord) Level 52 HP 17,000,000/17,000,000
[Ghost General] (Undead, Grand Lord) Level 55 HP 85,000,000/85,000,000
As Ke Le's group of three charged into the canyon, the wandering Ghost Knights and Ghost Berserkers quickly discovered Ke Le's group. As if they had smelled delicious food, they swarmed toward Ke Le's group.
"Are they tired of living?"
"Don't tell me they're really treating this place as a place to farm mobs."
Everyone was dumbfounded as they watched Ke Le's group of three gather more and more Ghost Knights and Ghost Berserkers.
This was the Primordial Divine Ruin, after all. The monsters inside the ruin were endless, and even if they killed these monsters, they'd gain far less EXP and loot than they would in the outside world. It wasn't worth the risk. However, despite the large number of Ghost Knights and Ghost Berserkers, they weren't a threat to the various major powers.
The truly frightening part of this place was the heavy ballistas on both sides of the canyon. These ballistas carried power at the peak of Tier 2. Even if a Level 50 MT blocked one of these ballistas with a shield, they'd still be forced to retreat several steps and lose around 4,000 HP. If they received a direct hit, they'd die in just two or three hits.
The heavy crossbows on both sides of the canyon were made up of multiple crossbows, and there were so many of them that the slightest bit of carelessness could lead to a direct hit.
Hence, choosing the right path was very important. Not only could a player reduce the number of crossbow attacks, but they'd also have a lower chance of encountering a Ghost General.
In the blink of an eye, over 500 Ghost Knights and several dozen Ghost Berserkers surrounded Ke Le's group. Moreover, the heavy crossbows on both sides of the canyon were ready, and they fired at Ke Le's group of three.
The ground was filled with monsters, and the air was filled with arrows. Just looking at this scene caused one's scalp to go numb, not knowing what to do.
However, Ke Le's group of three paid no attention to these monsters. They continued to charge forward, allowing more monsters to gather around them. The crossbow bolts also grew denser. Even the Ghost General had been attracted by the commotion.
"Good! Everyone, charge! Keep up with Ke Le's group! "Shifeng could not help but smile when he saw the sea of monsters surrounding Ke Le's group.
No one in God's Domain was more familiar with the Primordial Divine Ruin than Shi Feng.
He knew full well that the Primordial Divine Ruin was a place of survival. Although this was his first time visiting this ruin, every Primordial Divine Ruin in God's Domain was roughly the same. The longer one stayed on the first floor, the more disadvantageous it would be for a team.
Take the various superpowers for example. Although they had long since familiarized themselves with the various routes and could reduce the number of attacks coming at them, they still suffered losses. Moreover, the closer they got to the top of the mountain, the greater their losses would be. As for the resurrected players, they'd only appear at the starting point. They wouldn't be able to keep up with the rest of the team. If a team stopped to resurrect players midway, they'd only cause more deaths.
Hence, the team members that died along the way were eliminated.
The best way to deal with such a situation was to have someone act as bait while the rest of the team followed. Doing so would reduce the number of attacks coming at them. It was much easier than choosing a safe route.
The only problem was that the bait needed to be sufficiently strong. At the same time, the team had to be far away from the bait. If the bait were too close, the team would be targeted.
However, this wasn't the Shifeng's first time doing such a thing. Their grasp of distance was extremely accurate.
With Violet Cloud as the center, Ke Le's group of four charged through the monsters. As they faced the overwhelming attacks, their HPs continuously decreased.
The Chieftain ranked Ghost Knights and Lord ranked Ghost Berserkers weren't much of a threat. The only real threat was the Ghost General and the Heavy Ballistas on both sides of the team. The Heavy Ballistas, in particular, made it difficult for Ke Le's group to get close to the Ghost General. However, it was a different story for the Heavy Ballistas.
Although Ke Le's group of three MTs blocked the Heavy Ballistas with their shields, their bodies staggered as damages of over -1,500 appeared above their heads. The various superpowers watching from afar were stunned by this damage, and an indescribable sense of envy welled up in their hearts.
When their MTs were struck, each hit dealt over -4,000 damage. On the other hand, Ke Le's group of three only dealt around -1,500 damage. This meant that Ke Le's group could endure at least two or three times more crossbow attacks than the other MTs. With such endurance, if they were placed at the frontline of a team and had a large number of healers at the rear, they wouldn't even die.
Yet, the Ling YI Society had actually allowed these three MTs to advance by themselves. This was a reckless waste of resources!
Now that Ke Le's group of three faced a barrage of crossbow bolts, even if they could endure two or three times more damage, it would be meaningless.
In the next moment, Ke Le's group of three's HPs rapidly decreased. After a short moment, they had already lost over one-third of their HPs. When everyone saw this, they couldn't help feeling pity. Ke Le's group of three was completely separated from the rest of the team. Meanwhile, only one healer stood beside Ke Le's group. It was simply impossible for the healer to heal the trio's rapidly decreasing HPs.
Although Ke Le's group of three had less than a quarter of their HPs remaining, Violet Cloud, who stood at the center of the group, showed no signs of casting any Spells.
"What's going on? Is that person not a healer? Or does that healer have some kind of grudge against them? "Everyone was confused by this situation.
However, just as everyone was wondering what was going on, Ke Le took a look at his own HP bar.
"Let's begin as well!" Ke Le did not panic in the slightest. On the contrary, he excitedly said to his three teammates.
Turtledove and the others could not help but nod in agreement.
Following which, Ke Le bellowed, his entire body releasing a dazzling golden glow. Suddenly, a pillar of light descended from the sky, illuminating the dark canyon.
Immediately, four golden shields appeared around Cola's group of four, enveloped by the pillars of light.
This move was none other than the Tier 2 Skill, Divine Shield, which Shifeng had obtained from the Boneless Land. When activated, Divine Shield would buff up to ten players, reducing the damage they received from attacks below Tier 3 by 50% and those above Tier 3 by 20%. In addition, the buff would increase their Movement Speed and Attack Speed by 20% and healing effects by 100% for 30 seconds. Unfortunately, Divine Shield had a long, one-hour Cooldown.
At this time, Violet Cloud also used the Tier 2 Spell, Holy Prayer, which enveloped all allies within a 50-yard radius. Holy Prayer would heal players based on their Mana and reduce the damage they received by 20% for one minute. Holy Prayer also had a 20-minute Cooldown.
After receiving the two Spells' buffs, Ke Le's group of four recovered over 8,000 HP every second. The damage they received also became nothing more than a drizzle. This allowed Ke Le's group of four to escape with ease. Meanwhile, Ling Yi and the others followed closely behind.
