As Ling Yi's members reached the top of the mountain, the various major powers fell silent.
"Even this is possible?"
Everyone was at a loss for words as they looked at Ling Yi's members.
They had gone to great lengths to find the best route to reach the top of the mountain, and they had suffered many casualties along the way.
Yet, the Ling YI Society hadn't even looked at the mountain from start to finish. Not only had it taken them very little time to reach the top of the mountain, but it had also suffered only a few dozen casualties. This number was practically negligible.
"Sure enough, the Ling YI Society isn't simple." Praying Lotus blinked as she watched the Ling Yi Legion's Shifeng command.
Aside from the Ling YI Society, no other Guild would dare to take such a bold action.
This was especially true for the two Skills Ke Le and the others had used when they were at their limits. Although they weren't Invulnerability Skills, when the two Skills worked together, they were no longer a threat to the ghosts' attacks and heavy crossbows.
"They're only relying on their high Attributes and powerful Skills. The rest of the journey won't be so easy." Huang Hai pursed his lips. "The next few floors will become increasingly difficult. The reliance on players' Attributes will also decrease. At that time, they'll only be digging their own graves if they try to do this."
"That's true." Praying Lotus didn't refute Huang Hai's words.
After all, Huang Hai was right.
As players ventured deeper into the Primordial Divine Ruin, the difficulty of each floor would increase. The various traps and mechanisms would also increase. Players would also have to rely on their own abilities to clear these floors.
This method of clearing the Primordial Divine Ruin could only be used on the first floor.
Of course, the further down one went, the greater one's chances of finding opportunities and treasures. The Primordial Divine Ruin's first floor, for example, didn't have much to offer. Even a Bronze Treasure Chest would be considered a stroke of luck. It would be much more rewarding to raid a Team Dungeon. The only difference was that players could obtain combat techniques from the Primordial Divine Ruin.
If he wanted to obtain a decent harvest from the Primordial Divine Ruin, he'd have to reach the ruin's third floor. That was the only place where he'd be able to obtain Level 50-plus top-tier equipment. At the same time, he'd have a high chance of obtaining combat techniques and treasures.
On the top of the Gloomy Canyon, the Shifeng did not let the group rush forward. Instead, they rested in the safe zone.
Inside the Primordial Divine Ruin, players consumed far more Stamina and Concentration than they did in the outside world. If players did not rest and recover their Stamina and Concentration, they would not be able to traverse the Primordial Divine Ruin. Meanwhile, the only place where players could rest in the Primordial Divine Ruin was the safe zone. Everywhere else was filled with monsters and traps.
While the Shifeng ordered his men to rest, the members of the various major forces entered the safe zone one after another to rest.
Compared to the Ling YI Society, the other major forces had suffered much greater losses. Only about 80% of the 1,500 players had made it to the safe zone at the top of the mountain. The rest could only wait for the system to revive them and form teams to look for opportunities on that floor.
Once everyone had rested enough, they entered the Primordial Divine Ruin's second floor one after another.
The second floor was a primeval forest. Even Tier 2 players couldn't see beyond 80 yards. From time to time, players would encounter various Spells that caught them off guard. Moreover, these Spells were incredibly powerful. If a Tier 2 MT received a direct hit from one of these Spells, they'd only survive three or four hits at most. If a Tier 1 MT received a direct hit, they'd survive two or three hits at most.
If players wanted to reach the safe zone alive, they'd have to rely on their reaction speed. They'd have to block the incoming Spells as quickly as possible. Only by doing so would the healers have a chance to heal them. If they got hit by a Spell, they'd die before the healers could react.
Meanwhile, the Primordial Divine Ruin's second floor was much larger than the first. This was one of the Primordial Divine Ruin's unique features. The deeper one ventured into the ruin, the larger the map would become. Players would also have to travel more paths and face more dangers.
Along the way, the Shifeng team did not have any particularly good ideas. They simply had the Magic Light Team and Conqueror Team assist them as much as possible to reduce their losses. However, compared to the other major powers, the Primordial Divine Ruin's team wasn't as effective.
After reaching the Primordial Divine Ruin's third floor, the improvement was particularly obvious.
Not only would players have to face attacks and traps at any time, but they'd also have to collect a sufficient number of Teleportation Stones. Each Teleportation Stone could teleport 100 players, and these Teleportation Stones only dropped from wandering Grand Lord ranked monsters. In other words, players had to kill Grand Lord ranked Bosses to obtain these Teleportation Stones.
It was easy to imagine how difficult it would be to kill a Grand Lord ranked Boss in such a dangerous environment.
It's no wonder why first-rate Guilds' joint teams couldn't clear the third floor. Shifeng frowned as he stood at the starting point and looked at the rolling lightning bolts above him.
At a glance, he could see lightning flashing across the plains. Scorch marks covered the ground, all of which had been left behind by lightning.
Not only were lightning attacks powerful, but they were also very fast. They were even faster than ordinary Spells.
As long as they were within a certain distance, expert players could easily dodge and block ordinary Spells with their own strength. However, if they had to deal with lightning attacks, the difficulty would increase exponentially. Not to mention, killing a Level 55 Grand Lord was even more difficult.
However, the various superpowers' members, who had just teleported to the third floor, acted as if they hadn't noticed the lightning bolts in the sky. A portion of them strode out of the safe zone and began to search for Grand Lord ranked Thunder Elementals and Thunderbeast.
Despite the constant bombardment of lightning bolts, the various superpowers' members weaved their way through the area. Aside from a few unlucky players, most of them managed to dodge multiple lightning strikes. Even if they failed to dodge in time and were struck by a lightning bolt, the healers quickly healed them and allowed them to rejoin the battle.
In contrast, the first-rate Guilds and adventurer teams that had entered the plains were at a complete loss as to what to do.
Most of the team's members were capable of dodging the lightning strikes. However, once a monster appeared, the team would fall into chaos. They would either be struck by lightning or struck by a monster. Killing a Grand Lord ranked Boss was even more difficult.
"So what if there are a lot of people here? In the end, they still won't be able to clear the third floor. " Wild Ocean sneered when he saw Ling Yi's motionless group. He then moved on to search for the next Grand Lord ranked Thunder Elemental.
On the third floor, players' Basic Attributes weren't the most important factor. Instead, individual combat standards were. If one couldn't defeat a Grand Lord ranked Boss, they wouldn't be able to clear the Primordial Divine Ruin's third floor.
However, the first-rate Guilds' members fared much better than the first-rate adventurer teams' members. Although the first-rate Guilds' members didn't have an easy time, they had grown accustomed to the lightning bolts since they had been here for a long time. Hence, they had a much easier time dodging the lightning bolts.
"Guild Leader, based on the frequency and number of lightning bolts, I'm afraid we have less than 50 people who can dodge and fight at the same time. Why don't we form a 50-man team and enter the plains to raid the Bosses and collect the teleportation stones? Although it'll take some time, it shouldn't be a problem for us to collect the stones," Shiuse Qiangwei suggested.
Any other Guild would've most likely failed to clear the third floor. After all, very few experts could survive the lightning strikes. Even with the Conqueror's Armor's battle array, the effects would be minimal. Moreover, with so few players, it was practically impossible for them to defeat the Grand Lords, which had the advantage of the environment. Hence, they hadn't cleared the third floor yet.
However, Zero Wing's members were different. They had more than 10 Tier 2 players on this expedition. If they wanted to raid the Level 55 Grand Lords with a 50-man team, they would have to spend a lot of time. Unlike the various superpowers, which only had 200-300 members, the various superpowers could raid the Bosses quickly.
"No need! We'll do it together!" Shifeng said, shaking his head, smiling.
"Together?" Shiuse Qiangwei wondered if he had heard wrong.
"Relax. If it were any other trap, I might not be able to deal with it, but if it's only lightning, we can fight without worry," Shifeng said as he retrieved a thick, ancient tome from his bag.
