After the Falling Star Secret Land had been strengthened, the number of Great Lord ranked Lava Giants had skyrocketed. Even the Lava Giants in the inner region were more than enough for Ling Yi and the others to grind.
After eight consecutive days …
Shifeng led Ling Yi and the others to grind the inner region's Great Lord ranked Lava Giants. Even so, they had only cleared the majority of the Lava Giants.
However, they had to admit that the Falling Star Secret Land was a treasure trove for leveling up. Even though Ling Yi and the others had been Level 66, they had leveled up four times, reaching Level 70. Their leveling speed in two days was definitely the envy of the various superpowers' experts.
Shifeng, who had originally been Level 72, had also leveled up twice, reaching Level 74.
However, compared to the levels everyone had gained, their Attributes had increased the most. In God's Domain, players would gain a minor rank every five levels, and a major rank every ten levels. The Epic Equipment and Fragmented Legendary Equipment Fire Dance and the others wore would improve as they leveled up. Now that they had all reached Level 70, their Attributes had improved by leaps and bounds.
If they had to face the experts from the struggle for White River City now, they would have a much easier time. This was especially true for Fire Dance, Gentle Snow, Zhao Yueru, and Ke Le.
Meanwhile, after eight days, the team had collected 11 sets of the Forgotten Set, nine sets of leather armor, and eight sets of plate armor, including the Earthvein Set. They had also obtained over 900 pieces of Secret-Silver and Mysterious-Iron Equipment. Their harvest was far more than what they had obtained from grinding Hell Mode Team Dungeons every day.
At this moment, in a desolate canyon, Ling Yi and the others surrounded an eight-meter-tall Grand Lord ranked Lava Giant. The Lava Giant roared furiously as its HP continuously decreased under Ling Yi's and the others' attacks. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Fire Dance circled behind the Lava Giant and used Absolute Strike to devour the last strand of the Lava Giant's HP. Her movements were as smooth as flowing water.
As the Level 74 Lava Giant turned into a pile of rubble, everyone's experience bars rose by a small chunk.
"This Lava Giant really is difficult to deal with."
Turtledove took a look at her HP bar. It had already fallen below one-third, and her Defense had been reduced by 85%.
The Lava Behemoth's Defense had been reduced by 85%. Even if they used their shields to block one of the Lava Behemoth's attacks, they would still lose over 70,000 HP. Unfortunately, the Lava Behemoth's body was massive, and its attack range was very large.
If it weren't for the fact that the three MTs were taking turns, a single MT wouldn't have been able to hold on.
"It is indeed difficult to deal with. Its Lava Shield reduced the damage our mages received by half. Fortunately, our equipment is good. Even the second-best team in the Guild wouldn't be a match for it," Shiuse Qiangwei agreed as he glanced at the Lava Giant's corpse.
The Lava Behemoth had a total of 100,000,000 HP. In addition, its battle recovery allowed it to recover 2% of its HP every five seconds, double that of other monsters. If a team with insufficient DPS faced the Lava Behemoth, they would be helpless against it. Only a team like Zero Wing's team, which was equipped with a large number of Epic Weapons and Equipment, would have a chance against the Lava Behemoth.
Although the Giant Lava Beast was difficult to deal with, after killing it, everyone was pleasantly surprised.
After killing just one Lava Titan, Shi Feng had obtained over a dozen items. Compared to the Lava Giants he had killed, the loot was much better.
"Guild Leader, how was it? Did it drop a set piece? "Hei Zi asked expectantly as she looked at Shifeng, who was sorting through the loot.
Previously, they had only killed Great Lord ranked Lava Giants. Now that they had killed a Lava Behemoth, they shouldn't be lacking in loot.
"There wasn't a set piece, but it dropped something good. Take a look," Shifeng said, chuckling as he shared the item he had appraised in the team chat.
The Lava Behemoth had dropped three pieces of equipment, all of which were Level 70 Fine-Gold Equipment. Although the Fine-Gold Equipment reduced Stamina consumption, it was still inferior to a set piece.
However, among the loot, there was a Skill Book called Super Recovery.
[Super Recovery] (Super Spell) Instantly recovers 40% of Stamina to all players within a 30-yard radius, increasing their Stamina recovery rate by 200% and Basic Attributes by 15% for one hour. Cooldown: 12 hours (Limited to Clerics)
"This Skill is amazing!" Hei Zi's eyes widened in shock when she saw the Skill Book.
Not only did it recover Stamina, but it also increased players' Basic Attributes. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a godly team Skill.
"With this Skill Book, a 100-man team won't have to worry about Stamina issues in neutral maps," Shiuse Qiangwei said, astonished.
Currently, Resistance Equipment, Advanced Specialty Potions, and many other materials could only be found in neutral maps. Hence, the various major powers had desperately explored neutral maps to collect these materials and prepare to secure the First Clear of Level 70-plus, super-large-scale Team Dungeons in neutral maps.
If a Guild could secure the First Clear of these Level 70-plus, super-large-scale Team Dungeons, not only would it increase the Guild's Popularity and obtain top-tier equipment, but it would also obtain a Town Building Order. These Town Building Orders could allow a Town to be constructed in a neutral map.
There were only so many neutral maps around kingdoms and empires. If a Guild could gain control of a neutral map's resources, it would be difficult not to become powerful.
"In that case, let Violet learn this Skill Book first," Shi Feng said.
Everyone agreed with Shi Feng's decision. Super Recovery was a Skill that only Clerics could learn, and Violet Cloud was the Guild's number one Cleric. Moreover, she often accompanied the Guild's main force or led the team in neutral maps. She was indeed the most suitable person to learn this Skill Book.
After Violet Cloud learned the Skill Book, Shifeng instructed his team to continue grinding Lava Giants. At the same time, he had Fire Dance lead a party of Assassins to search for other Lava Giants. They might be able to obtain a few more Super Recovery Skill Books. After all, this Skill Book was extremely important to a team.
While Ling Yi and the others grinded Lava Giants and steadily leveled up, A Melancholy Smile contacted them.
"Did something happen?" Shifeng asked when he saw A Melancholy Smile's anxious expression.
"Guild Leader, not long ago, Starlink suddenly captured the Ore Empire's Beast Blood Fortress. Afterward, Starlink ambushed our members in the various neutral maps. Our members operating in the Ore Empire's inner region, in particular, suffered heavy casualties. I had originally requested Unyielding Soul's assistance to deal with Starlink's members, but Unyielding Soul is facing a similar situation. You can say that Starlink has started an all-out war in the Dark Night Empire's neutral maps," A Melancholy Smile reported.
"No wonder Starlink didn't respond. It turns out that it had been planning this all along," Shifeng said, realization dawning on him.
He had to admit that Starlink's actions had dealt a severe blow to Ling Yi.
Ling Yi's influence in the Starmoon Kingdom was already deeply rooted in the Starmoon Kingdom. Normally, Starlink could only suppress Ling Yi's development through economic means. However, now that Ling Yi had been reinstated as a normal member of the Secret Chamber of Commerce, economic suppression had become much more difficult. Moreover, it wouldn't be very effective.
Hence, Starlink had decided to use force and secretly establish a foothold in the Ore Empire. It could dispatch a large number of experts to the Ore Empire, and with its numerical advantage, Ling Yi wouldn't be able to survive in the Ore Empire's neutral maps.
Now that Starlink had stabilized its position as the Dark Night Empire's overlord, other powers would have a hard time shaking its position. Hence, Starlink could dispatch a large number of experts to the Ore Empire. Moreover, with a firm foothold in the Ore Empire, Starlink wouldn't have to worry about leveling and developing. Unlike in the Starmoon Kingdom, Starlink's situation would only worsen as the war progressed.
Even though Ling Yi had the Combat Puppets and Hell Tanks, these items were only suitable for large-scale battles. In a large neutral map like the Ore Empire, Ling Yi's Combat Puppets and Hell Tanks wouldn't be of much use.
"What should we do now, Guild Leader?" A Melancholy Smile asked.
"Have everyone reduce their activity range for now. If there's no other choice, pay a few more Magic Crystals and send our Guild members to the Otherworld Gate to level up. As for the neutral maps, let's set them aside for now," Shifeng said after giving the matter some thought. "Once I'm done with my quest, I'll make other arrangements."
"Understood." A Melancholy Smile nodded. That was the only thing they could do for now.
Following which, Shifeng disconnected the call and ordered everyone to gather and head to the Lord of Fire's location. As for leveling and grinding for equipment, they couldn't afford to do so right now.
The center of the Falling Star Secret Land was a lava hell. Only a few scattered boulders stood in the lava, barely enough for 20 to 30 people to stand on. Meanwhile, a giant made entirely of lava could be seen lying in the lava. His figure was over 50 meters tall, like a mountain, and he radiated a terrifying aura. The surrounding lava creatures did not dare to approach him at all.
"Guild Leader, are we really going to fight this Boss?" Hei Zi asked, smiling bitterly as he looked at the lava giant.
Hei Zi wasn't the only one with such thoughts. Even Gentle Snow, Shiuse Qiangwei, and the others shared the same thought.
After all, the lava giant before them couldn't be described as powerful. It wasn't an existence that current players could go up against.
