Ice Crystal World, Snow Rift, a forbidden land for life:
Inside the snow-covered valley, a cold wind blew. If a player without Ice Resistance stood here, the cold wind alone would be enough to claim their lives. Even if a player's Ice Resistance was high enough, fighting here would consume several times more Stamina than fighting outside.
Currently, however, there were plenty of players in the Snow Rift.
At a glance, one could see large groups of players grinding here. It was as if they had long since grown accustomed to fighting here.
"It's only been a while since we've returned, yet so many people have come here to grind and level up?" Yan Ya, who wore exquisite, dark-blue mage robes and wielded an emerald staff, was astonished as she watched the players fighting at the foot of the mountain.
Currently, the lowest-leveled players here were Level 50, while the majority were Level 51. Some of the players leading the battle had even reached Level 52.
Even in an empire, players with such levels could rank among the top 30, yet far more than 30 players had reached Level 52 in this place …
Even though she had been adventuring in God's Domain all this time and had Shifeng to help her level up, she was still only Level 54, yet so many independent experts had already reached Level 52.
"There are more powerful monsters in the Ice Crystal World, and they give a lot of EXP. Hence, the leveling speed here is much faster than in God's Domain. Now that the mainstream players of the various large Guilds are close to Level 50, it's normal for the mainstream players here to reach Level 51 or 52," Shifeng said, chuckling. He wasn't particularly surprised by this development.
When he had first arrived in the Ice Crystal World, the average level of the world's players had already been relatively high. Now that God's Domain's players were close to Level 50, it was only natural that the mainstream players here would be over Level 50.
However, what truly surprised Shifeng was the equipment these players wore.
The drop-rate for weapons and equipment in the Ice Crystal World was extremely low. Normally, players only dropped materials. The Ice Crystal World relied on Lifestyle players to craft weapons and equipment. Hence, the Ice Crystal World's weapons and equipment lagged behind the continent of God's Domain. However, the standard of Lifestyle players was much higher.
Among the Level 50 players here, many wore Level 50 Mysterious-Iron Equipment. There were even some who wore Level 50 Secret-Silver Equipment. The standard of their equipment was not inferior to that of the current God's Domain's players.
After all, the drop-rate of Level 50 weapons and equipment was greatly reduced. The quality of the items dropped would also decrease.
Currently, independent players were targeting Level 50, 20-man Team Dungeons. The best equipment one could obtain from such Team Dungeons was only Level 50 Secret-Silver rank. However, the drop-rate was extremely low. Only Hell Mode Team Dungeons had a relatively high drop-rate. However, the 20-man Hell Mode Team Dungeons were too difficult for current independent players.
Hence, even after reaching Level 50, most players only wore Level 50 Mysterious-Iron Equipment. Very few of them wore Secret-Silver Equipment. As for Level 50 Fine-Gold Equipment and above, only large Guilds had a chance of obtaining them.
Meanwhile, it wasn't easy for players to produce Level 50 high-quality equipment.
Once a piece of equipment reached Level 50, not only would the production difficulty increase significantly, but the production success rate would also decrease by a significant margin. It was only because Shi Feng had reached the Master rank and possessed a bunch of top-tier support tools that he had been able to produce plenty of high-quality Level 50 equipment.
It was hard to imagine that Cold Wind City's Lifestyle players could produce Level 50 Secret-Silver Weapons and Equipment.
If that were the case, then Cold Wind City's forging standards would be at least one level higher than Candlelight's.
Although Cold Wind City was only one level higher than Candlelight's, Candlelight had plenty of Secret Forging Techniques. The Holy City of Titan had also helped players improve their forging standards. In addition, Ling Yi City's high-Mana environment was no weaker than Cold Wind City's. In fact, Cold Wind City was slightly stronger.
Hence, why wouldn't the Shifeng be surprised that Cold Wind City could surpass Candlelight's forging standards?
"Commander, I think those over there are Asura Adventurers' members," the Solitary Shield said, smiling. Solitary Nine smiled as he pointed at a 50-man team fighting a Level 56 Great Lord in the distance.
At this moment, the six Level 51 MTs were desperately tanking the Level 56 Great Lord ranked Frost Ape. Every one of the Frost Ape's casual attacks forced the three MTs to stumble back several steps, damages of over -10,000 appearing above their heads. Following which, the other three MTs would block the Frost Ape's next attack, alternating between tanking and tanking the Frost Ape's next attack.
To the Level 51 MTs, over -10,000 damage was nothing. The Frost Ape's attacks were the Frost Ape's additional Freeze effect. As long as an MT was struck by the Frost Ape's attacks, their movements would become sluggish. The more hits they received, the slower their Movement Speed would become. At the same time, the more damage they received.
Although the Frost Ape was very powerful, its HP steadily decreased against the 50-man team of Asura Adventurers. It was only a matter of time before the Great Lord's death.
Hearing Solitary Nine's words, Asura Adventurers' Lifeless Thorn, Cleansing Whistle, Dark Madness, Yan Ya, and the others turned to look at Asura Adventurers, sighing ruefully.
Although the Asura Adventurers' members were relatively strong and high-leveled, in their eyes, they were still very young.
This was a truth they had only come to understand after leaving the Ice Crystal World.
Players in the Ice Crystal World might be high-leveled, but on the main continent of God's Domain, players' combat standards were many levels higher.
Take the Asura Adventurers for example. Currently, they needed 50 players to suppress the Level 56 Great Lord ranked Frost Ape, but in God's Domain's various large Guilds, 20 players would be more than enough. The remaining players could be used to deal with other Bosses.
While Solitary Nine and the others discussed the Asura Adventurers' battle, a large group of players suddenly appeared in the canyon. There were over 3,000 of these players, and every one of them wore roughly the same equipment. It was obvious that these players had produced their own standard equipment. Every one of these players wore Level 50 Mysterious-Iron Equipment. Some of the team leaders even wore more than five pieces of Secret-Silver Equipment. As for the team leaders leading the 100-man team, more than half of them wore Secret-Silver Equipment.
The players in the canyon were envious of these players' neat and beautiful equipment. At the same time, they also felt a deep sense of fear.
Meanwhile, these players all wore the Guild Emblem of a black lion. It was obvious that they were Guild players.
Upon seeing these Guild players, the players in the canyon began to discuss among themselves.
"Amazing! So, this is Hekati?! "
"Sure enough, Cold Wind City's Guilds can't compare to them. It's no wonder why Matchless Family merged with Hekati. Meanwhile, Centurion Dynasty is being suppressed everywhere. It won't be long before it disbands."
"I really want to join Hekati. I've heard that Hekati has a lot of weapons and equipment. If you become one of the Guild's elites, you'll qualify to exchange for Level 50 Secret-Silver Equipment. It's a pity that Hekati's recruitment requirements are too high. Otherwise, I'd be able to exchange for two pieces of Level 50 Secret-Silver Equipment as well."
…
Everyone's gazes were filled with yearning as they watched Hekati's army slowly approach them. After all, weapons and equipment were the only things they yearned for. If they wanted weapons and equipment, they'd have to collect a large number of rare materials to trade for a piece of Level 50 Secret-Silver Equipment. Meanwhile, becoming a member of Hekati would be much easier.
"The Guild is clearing the area! All unrelated personnel, leave this place immediately! "
"If you don't leave within five minutes, we'll enforce the rules!"
While everyone was discussing the situation, Hekati's army announced loudly that they were clearing the area.
"What's going on? Hekati has occupied several high-resource leveling spots before, but this is a leveling area we went to great lengths to find! Why are they taking it for themselves?! "
"That's right! They're going too far! "
"Without this place, how are we supposed to grind for rare materials?"
For a time, the independent players present began to complain.
"What? Do you have a problem with this?" A barbaric man in light-blue armor walked out of Hekati's army. Glancing at everyone present, he sneered and said, "Sure! Come over here and tell me! "
Hearing this, everyone immediately fell silent.
The barbaric man before them was quite famous in Cold Wind City. His name was Xuan Cang. On his first day in Cold Wind City, he had killed over 30 experts from Centurion Dynasty. Later, during the Guild War, not only had he killed over a hundred players, but he had also killed Sky Slicer, Centurion Dynasty's Guild Leader at that time.
How could they possibly dare to challenge him?
Following which, everyone fell silent, not daring to say anything. Meanwhile, the Asura Adventurers had finally killed the Giant Frost Ape. They then prepared to pick up the materials and leave this place.
"Wait! This area is now under Hekati's jurisdiction! You people, leave the materials on the ground! " Xuan Cang shouted as he looked at the Asura Adventurers, who were about to pick up the materials.
"Xuan Cang, we've worked so hard to kill this Boss! Don't go too far!" the Berserker leading the Asura Adventurers said as he looked at Xuan Cang.
