The Enraged Stone Statues actually have a chance of dropping it? Shifeng could not help his excitement as he looked at the small, glowing stone on the ground.
The stone before him was none other than Earth Essence.
Earth Essence was a very rare material that could only be obtained by killing Earth-type Elemental Creatures. However, even ordinary Earth-type Elemental Creatures wouldn't drop Earth Essence. Only special Earth-type Elemental Creatures would drop Earth Essence. Hence, each Earth Essence sold for 50 Silver on the market.
Meanwhile, 100 Earth Essence could be synthesized into Earth Essence.
Earth Essence was similar to Sun Essence in that it could be used as a power source for many mechanical tools. Moreover, Earth Essence could be used to strengthen power sources, granting them Attribute Mana. It was extremely valuable.
Yet, after killing just four Enraged Stone Statues, they had actually obtained Earth Essence. Why would Shifeng be excited?
Even now, Zero Wing had only collected a few Sun Essences because they were simply too rare. Earth Essence was just as rare.
When Shifeng saw the Enraged Stone Statues wandering around, he suddenly felt that this place was a treasure trove. He then retrieved the Bible of Darkness from his bag and summoned the Level 85, Tier 3 Demon and Fire Spirit to deal with the Enraged Stone Statues.
However, Shifeng didn't plan to grind slowly. Instead, he had the Level 85, Tier 3 Demon lure the Enraged Stone Statues and Stone Statue Warriors.
At the end of the day, the Enraged Stone Statues were only Lords, not ranged monsters. The same was true for the Great Lord ranked Stone Statue Warriors. Hence, it was relatively easy for the Level 85, Tier 3 Demon to gather the Enraged Stone Statues.
In less than ten minutes, the Demon lured every monster inside the cavern and tunnel out of the cavern. There were over a hundred Enraged Stone Statues. Even expert players would feel their scalps tingle at this number. With so many Enraged Stone Statues, they could easily annihilate a 1,000-man elite team. Even the Level 85, Tier 3 Demon wouldn't last long against such a force.
The Tier 3 Demon had already lost over a quarter of its HP just by luring these Enraged Stone Statues. Moreover, the Demon had a level advantage. Otherwise, these Enraged Stone Statues would've long since killed it.
"Good! Attack! "Shifeng ordered the Fire Spirit to attack when the Tier 3 Demon emerged from the tunnel.
The Fire Spirit was a Level 80, Tier 3 Archaic Species that possessed a large number of Tier 3 fire-type Curses.
As soon as the Demons exited the tunnel, their surroundings transformed into a sea of flames. The ground beneath them had turned into molten lava. The instant the Gargoyles stepped into the lava, their Movement Speeds falling by 90%. Their HPs also fell by over 400,000.
Shifeng did not hold back as he activated Flame Domain. Towering flames engulfed the tunnel's exit, enveloping every monster in the area. Damages of over -200,000 appeared above their heads, one after another. Although the Flame Domain was not as powerful as the Fire Spirit's Skills, the damage it dealt was still impressive.
Just as the Gargoyle was about to leave the lava field, the Fire Spirit finished chanting another Tier 3 Curse.
Suddenly, a firestorm formed in the center of the Gargoyle, pulling the surrounding monsters towards it. A damage of over -300,000 appeared above every monster's head. Moreover, this damage continued to increase, preventing the Gargoyle from leaving the lava field.
Shifeng and the Tier 3 Demon took advantage of this opportunity to bombard the Gargoyles with one AOE Spell after another.
Very quickly, the Enraged Gargoyles' HPs fell to zero. One after another, they collapsed to the ground, dropping one item after another. However, the EXP they gave was extraordinarily small. By the time the Gargoyles emerged from the lava, only 20 or so Gargoyles remained. Aside from the five Gargoyle Warriors present, the rest of the Enraged Gargoyles had fallen to a critical level.
Shifeng ordered the Tier 3 Demon and Fire Spirit to deal with the five Gargoyle Warriors while he dealt with the remaining Enraged Gargoyles.
Finally, after a dozen or so minutes, the Gargoyles were dead, leaving behind a pile of loot.
Among the loot, there were no weapons or equipment, only materials. Even so, Shifeng was overjoyed. He had obtained 16 Earth Essence and various rare ores from this wave of monsters. He had even obtained Titan Ore, which was extremely rare in the outside world.
Although Titan Ore was inferior to Fine Titan Ore, which could be directly refined into Fine Titan Iron Ingots, it could still be refined into Fine Titan Iron Ingots after some refinement.
After collecting the loot, Shifeng ordered the Tier 3 Demon to lure more monsters into the tunnel. While clearing out the monsters in the tunnel, he continued to venture deeper into the cave.
The cave's terrain resembled a maze. Moreover, the number of monsters inside the cave continued to increase, and they also grew stronger. However, the monsters' strength did not lie in their Attributes. Instead, it lay in the monsters' combat standards. Although the increase from the early stage of the Trial Tower's fourth floor to the middle stage did not seem significant, the difficulty of dealing with these monsters had increased by a large margin.
If not for the Tier 3 Demon and Fire Spirit's advantage in levels and Attributes, Shifeng wouldn't have been able to venture deep into the maze by himself.
However, as they ventured deeper, Shifeng's combat power increased as well. The Bible of Darkness's Cooldown allowed him to summon up to three Demons. With the Fire Spirit's assistance, dealing with a sea of Gargoyles was not a problem. Only, their progress was very slow.
After spending four days in a row, Shi Feng finally made it out of the underground maze. Along the way, he had nearly fallen into a trap several times. Fortunately, he had an existence like the Fire Spirit, which allowed him to survive.
Although Shifeng's progress during these four days had been arduous, they had also reaped a bountiful harvest. They had obtained over 3,200 Earth Essence and over 11,000 Titan Ore. They could make a fortune just by selling these items.
Meanwhile, although the Gargoyles gave very little EXP, there were simply too many of them. As a result, Shifeng's EXP bar had risen to 43% of Level 70. At this level, their leveling speed was only slightly slower than ordinary expert players.
After leaving the underground maze, Shifeng arrived before a vast, ancient hall. Although this hall had long since fallen into ruin, the gigantic Magic Crystal hovering in the center of the hall still radiated a frightening amount of Mana.
As soon as the Shifeng entered the hall, they felt a bone-chilling sensation assault them, and the Shifeng involuntarily stopped in their tracks.
"Is this system joking?" Shifeng stared at the crystal statue in the center of the hall. At this moment, both sides of the towering crystal statue glowed with a red light. The dense Mana in the hall flowed into the statue, causing it to gradually disintegrate. At this moment, the statue's aura grew stronger, surpassing that of ordinary Mythic monsters. "Why is there an Ancient Earth Serpent guarding this place?"
