System: You have killed a Naga for the first time. Activating the Thunder God's Trial. Killed 1,000 Nagas. Current number of Nagas: 1
System: This trial is a reward quest for entering the Dungeon for the first time. Death or leaving the Dungeon will be considered a failure. As a reward quest, failure will not be penalized.
Suddenly, the Thunder God's Trial appeared in Shifeng's and the others' windows, displaying the number of Nagas they had killed so far.
"One thousand Nagas? Isn't that a little too many?" Happy Art frowned when she saw the system notification.
They had spent over 20 minutes just to kill a single Naga Guard. Moreover, Naga Guards were the weakest monsters in the entire Instance Dungeon. The amount of time needed to kill a thousand Nagas was simply unimaginable.
Moreover, this was only a Dungeon Quest. They could've completed plenty of quests in the outside world during this time.
"Although this quest is time-consuming, the Nagas give a lot of EXP. Our leveling speed is definitely 50% faster than outside," Burning Sea exclaimed when he saw his EXP bar increase.
Their leveling speed in the Thunder God's Secret Land was already very fast, but the leveling speed in the Dungeon was 50% faster. Of course, a large part of the reason for this was the fact that they had killed Nagas of higher levels. Hence, the Dungeon awarded a lot of EXP. Moreover, they only had 10 players.
If it were any other 100-man Level 90 team, their leveling speed would be mediocre.
"In any case, we can't leave the Dungeon for now. Let's just treat this as a side quest," Samsara said.
"That's right. Our leveling speed here is much faster than outside. If the Flower of Seven Sins' members find out that we're leveling up here, they'll be furious," Frozen Jade said, chuckling. "We were stuck between a rock and a hard place. Now, let's see who can outlast the other!"
It was easy to guess what would happen outside the Dungeon. Supreme Sky would definitely send a large number of players to guard the entrance. Once they left the Dungeon, they wouldn't have an easy time.
Previously, they had been anxious because they couldn't do anything inside the Dungeon. Meanwhile, the players outside were constantly improving.
Now that their leveling speed was much faster than outside, they naturally wouldn't mind grinding out a war of attrition with the Flower of Seven Sins.
"The Thunder God's Trial?"
Shifeng suddenly remembered that there was such a quest, but no one had done it in his previous life.
The reason was simple. In an era where every second mattered, nobody wanted to waste so much time. Even a 100-man team of Level 90 players would need at least five or six days to kill 1,000 Nagas. With so much time on their hands, they'd be better off completing other quests. Their levels and equipment would've long since improved.
Furthermore, the core of the Thunder Palace was the main hall. The side halls could only be considered as a transition to the main hall. Who would spend so much time here?
However, he couldn't leave now. Having a mission was better than not having one.
As for the Naga Guard's loot, aside from Magic Crystals, it only dropped some miscellaneous items. It didn't even drop an ordinary weapon or piece of equipment. It also dropped Purple Crystal, the Thunder God's Secret Land's exclusive currency. Purple Crystal could be used to purchase some of the Thunder Temple's specialty goods. Purple Crystal could also be exchanged for Coins at a rate of 1: 1.
After all, the Naga Guard was the weakest monster in the Instance Dungeon. To them, it was very strong because of their levels and equipment. It would be strange if a monster in a Instance Dungeon could drop a piece of top-tier equipment.
Following which, the team continued to grind the Naga Guards.
Although the process was tiring, every time they saw their EXP bar rise, they were delighted.
After killing the sixth Naga Guard, the Naga dropped a crimson fragment that attracted Shi Feng's attention.
A Thunderbolt Gemstone Fragment!
Although it was only a gemstone fragment and not a piece of top-tier equipment, it was very famous in God's Domain.
Ten Thunderbolt Gemstone Fragments could be combined into a single Thunderbolt Gemstone. This gemstone was something the Thunder God had developed and was specifically designed for his soldiers to use.
Each Thunderbolt Gemstone increased a player's Basic Attributes by 2%, and a maximum of three Thunderbolt Gemstones could be socketed. Most expert players wouldn't even bat an eye at such a price.
Three Thunderbolt Gemstones would only increase a player's Basic Attributes by 6%. It wasn't even as effective as high-tiered gemstones.
However, when players collected three Thunderbolt Gemstones, they would trigger the Thunder God's Blessing, a hidden effect that increased their Basic Attributes by 9% and physique by 20%.
In other words, after socketing three Thunderbolt Gemstones, players could increase their Basic Attributes by a total of 15% and physique by 20%. It was a top-tier gemstone that wouldn't become obsolete even after reaching Tier 3.
Moreover, the Thunderbolt Gemstone would increase players' Basic Attributes by an additional 10% while inside the Thunder God's Secret Land. It was a godly tool for raiding the Thunder God's Secret Land. After all, in the Thunder God's Secret Land, players were stuck at Tier 0. If players wanted to increase their combat power, aside from improving their combat standards, they had to rely on their Basic Attributes.
"We've only killed the sixth Naga, and it's already dropping?" Shifeng was a little surprised. "Could it be a reward for players entering the Thunder Temple for the first time?"
The drop-rate for Thunderbolt Gemstone Fragments was very low in the Thunder Temple. It wasn't even 1%, yet they had obtained a fragment after killing six Nagas. If they weren't extremely lucky, then they had to have a high drop-rate.
After Shifeng and the others killed the 17th Naga Guard, another Thunderbolt Gemstone Fragment dropped.
Sure enough, it's a benefit for first-timers! Shifeng grew excited when he saw the second Thunderbolt Gemstone Fragment.
Originally, he had only planned to grind the Dungeon's mobs and level up. Once he had reached a certain level, he would think of a way to leave the Dungeon. However, if he could obtain enough Thunderbolt Gemstone Fragments, it would be a different story.
Although Samsara and the others' Basic Attributes were far from meeting the Dungeon's requirements, if each of them collected three Thunderbolt Gemstones, they wouldn't be far from the Dungeon's minimum requirement. With their combat standards, they could definitely challenge the Thunder Temple's side temple.
At the end of the day, the Thunder Temple's side temple was still a God's Secret Land. The items it dropped were far superior to those of ordinary super-large-scale Team Dungeons.
Following which, Shi Feng informed everyone about the Thunderbolt Stones. Everyone's motivation to grind Nagas grew. After all, they had come to the Thunder God's Secret Land to improve themselves and obtain better weapons and equipment. Now that they had a glimmer of hope, they naturally wanted to give it a try.
Their high fighting spirit spurred them to kill the Nagas in a frenzy. As soon as they recovered their Stamina, they resumed grinding without hesitation. Moreover, as they leveled up, their grinding speed increased.
The Nagas provided a lot of EXP. In less than nine days, everyone had reached Level 80, crossing a massive threshold. Their Epic Equipment had reached the Level 80 standard, and their Basic Attributes had increased by a large margin. As for Shifeng, he had reached Level 84. His leveling speed was frightening.
Just as everyone had collected 28 Thunderbolt Gemstones and were only 11 Thunderbolt Gemstone Fragments away, the crisp sound of a system notification reached their ears once more.
