When the Earth Dragon crashed to the ground, the ground shook, and the 50-plus surviving players nearly fell to the ground.
Ling Yi's team and the various superpowers watching from outside the lava barrier fell silent as they stared at the Shifeng standing before the Earth Dragon.
At this moment, Shi Feng's armor had long since been tainted by the Dragon's blood that had gushed out of his body. Meanwhile, the armor itself was damaged in many places. His expression also revealed his fatigue. However, the feeling he gave off was indescribably majestic, as if he were a mythical dragon-slaying hero.
"It's dead! Zero Wing actually killed the Frostflame Two-headed Earth Dragon! "
"Is this a joke?! He killed the Earth Dragon just like that?!"
Everyone looked at the Frostfire Two-headed Earth Dragon lying on the ground. They couldn't believe their eyes.
The various superpowers were helpless against the Frostflame Two-headed Earth Dragon. They had even needed to work together to defeat it, yet Zero Wing's team, which was far weaker than theirs, had actually succeeded in defeating the Earth Dragon.
Following which, the sound of a system notification reached everyone's ears.
System: Congratulations to Ling Yi's team for being the first to kill the Earth Dragon. Rewarding three fifth-floor Teleportation Stones and 10 Humanity Reputation Points.
Although no one was willing to believe it, the system notification that rang in their ears made them realize that it was real even if they didn't want to believe it.
Is this why Feng Qianyu has been so optimistic about the Ling YI Society? Yuan Tiexin fell into deep thought as he looked at the Shifeng's back.
The Ling YI Society? King's Return's Broken City couldn't help but take a closer look. It's actually more powerful than the rumors say. It seems I'll need to have our subordinates pay more attention to it.
Immediately, the various superpowers' attitudes toward the Ling YI Society changed. They no longer viewed the Guild as an insignificant power. Instead, they viewed the Guild as a competitor.
Meanwhile, the Shifeng didn't seem to notice anything. He simply stared at the various items before him.
Normally, it would be impressive if a Grand Lord ranked Archaic Species dropped several dozen items, but the Frostflame Two-headed Earth Dragon had dropped over a hundred items. The number of items it had dropped was unimaginable.
This situation enraged the various superpowers, and some of them even wanted nothing more than to charge forward and snatch the loot.
Such a powerful Archaic Species. Moreover, this was the First Kill. The rewards would definitely be bountiful. The team's strength would definitely rise to a whole new level.
Unfortunately, with the magma barrier in the way, there was no chance at all. All he could do was watch as the Shifeng picked up the dropped items one after another.
Meanwhile, the Shifeng standing beside the Earth Dragon collected all of the loot without hesitation. At the same time, he had the healers revive the dead players. Although the lava barrier was blocking the Earth Dragon's path, the barrier showed signs of disappearing after the Earth Dragon's death. It would be a miracle if it could block the Earth Dragon's path for a few more minutes.
This was the Primordial Divine Ruin. Even if they killed the Boss, they wouldn't be safe holding on to the loot. If they died within two hours, they'd lose all of their loot. Moreover, the Primordial Divine Ruin didn't prohibit players from killing each other.
Currently, the various superpowers had far more experts than the Ling YI Society. Moreover, these experts weren't ordinary experts. If these superpowers worked together, annihilating the Ling YI Society would be a piece of cake. Their only option was to leave this place before the lava barrier disappeared.
Ling Yi's members quickly snapped out of their daze and began to revive their fallen comrades.
Sure enough, in less than four minutes, the lava barrier disappeared. Just as the various superpowers were about to make their move, Shi Feng used the five teleportation stones he had obtained from the loot and the three system rewards. Instantly, the 800 resurrected members of Zero Wing transformed into streaks of white light that shot through the massive stone gate, disappearing from sight.
"They sure are fast!" Wild Ocean was slightly displeased when he saw Ling Yi's members disappear.
A large sum of treasure had been lost, just like that …
Without the lava barrier, even if the Ling YI Society had killed the Earth Dragon, they wouldn't have been able to claim the loot.
"As expected of the Ling YI Society. Their reaction is quite fast." Yuan Tiexin chuckled.
Although the Ling YI Society had displayed extraordinary combat power and potential, when it came to treasures that could increase a player's strength, everyone was the same. They wouldn't hold back or hesitate to take action.
"Uncle Yuan, what should we do now? Now that the Boss is dead, it'll be difficult for us to reach the fifth floor, "Purple Jade said, her head aching as she looked at the empty teleportation spot.
Although there were many monsters on the fourth floor, the Earth Dragon was the only monster that had dropped a teleportation stone to reach the fifth floor. Without the Earth Dragon, it was impossible to reach the fifth floor.
"Relax. After all, the Guardian Boss dropped a teleportation stone. It shouldn't be long before the Boss respawns. Only, when we kill the Earth Dragon later, we won't get as many items as the First Clear," Yuan Tiexin said, a hint of envy flashing in his eyes as he watched Ling Yi's members enter the massive stone gate.
Meanwhile, news of the Ling YI Society obtaining the fourth floor's First Clear quickly spread throughout the Primordial Divine Ruin, causing a commotion among the various powers.
Nobody would've thought that the first Guild to reach the fifth floor wouldn't be a Super Guild or a super-first-rate Guild, but Ling Yi. For a time, many Guilds and adventurer teams sought to partner with the Ling YI Society.
They might not be able to reach the fifth floor on their own, but they could purchase entry slots from the Ling YI Society or purchase various combat techniques from the Ling YI Society.
However, Ling Yi was different. The Ling YI Society's foundations were very weak. Whether it was the Guild's members or the Guild's background, they weren't particularly impressive. Moreover, a Guild's development would require a lot of funds and resources, and Ling Yi could provide them.
Meanwhile, in the Primordial Divine Ruin's fifth floor, Shifeng and the others appeared beside a quiet lake.
"So, this is the fifth floor?" Everyone curiously looked at their surroundings.
Unlike the previous floors, they didn't sense any danger on this floor. On the contrary, they felt an indescribable sense of tranquility and comfort.
"Everyone, rest for now. We'll search for the passage to Primordial City once we're done," Shifeng commanded as he looked at his team members, who had just revived and were in poor condition.
Every five floors in the Primordial Divine Ruin had a watershed. The first four floors tested players' progress, while the fifth floor was a place for players to rest and catch their breaths.
Not only was the Mana density on the fifth floor much higher, but players would also recover their Stamina and Concentration quickly even if they moved around. The Primordial Divine Ruin's Stamina and Concentration weren't any less effective than in a city's hotel.
In the past, Guilds had even established temporary towns in each of the Primordial Divine Ruin's rest floors to provide security. These towns allowed players to trade and purchase various supplies in preparation for the raid. Unfortunately, the prices of these items were ridiculously high.
However, this couldn't be helped. If players left the Primordial Divine Ruin and returned to the fifth floor, not only would they have to start from the first floor, but they'd also have to wait an entire day.
If players wanted to replenish their supplies in the Primordial Divine Ruin, this was the only way. Hence, the Guilds that had established temporary towns in the Primordial Divine Ruin's rest floors had made a considerable profit every day. Moreover, the higher the floor, the more expensive the supplies would be. However, only superpowers had the ability to do so. Ordinary large Guilds could only make money on the fifth floor.
However, Shifeng didn't have such plans right now. Finding the passage to Primordial City was their top priority.
While everyone rested, Shifeng opened his bag and inspected the items the Frostflame Two-headed Earth Dragon had dropped.
Due to the lack of time, he hadn't had time to appraise the items. Now that the Earth Dragon was dead, other Guilds would have to wait for the Earth Dragon to respawn before they could reach the fifth floor.
