The Thunder Eagle's Summoning Flute was very ordinary. It was made of wood and had dark-purple runes engraved on it.
"How is this possible?"
"Am I seeing things?!"
"Weren't there rumors that Flying Mounts only available in Level 100-plus maps?"
Burning Sea and the others gulped when they saw the Thunder Eagle's Summoning Flute. They couldn't believe their eyes.
They were Domain Realm experts and had seen countless top-tier treasures. They even had several pieces of Epic Equipment and Weapons. However, they couldn't help their shock and excitement when they saw a Flying Mount.
Although practically every Level 50-plus player had a Common Mount, not a single player in God's Domain had a Flying Mount. They didn't even know how to obtain one.
However, in the current God's Domain, players had already experienced the benefits of having a Mount. This was especially true for expert players.
Players had limited Stamina, and their range of movement was limited. God's Domain was massive, and players' Stamina was far from enough. Meanwhile, Mounts could greatly increase a player's range of movement.
However, this was only one of the benefits of having a Mount. The true benefit was that players could save time during certain seasons.
Ever since players had entered Level 50-plus maps, there were many places that players couldn't teleport to. Moreover, the higher one's level was, the more difficult it would be. Players had to rely on their own strength to travel to these maps. As a result, Mounts had become increasingly important.
Currently, countless experts fought over a Mysterious-Iron Mount on the market. A Secret-Silver Mount was no less valuable than an Epic item. Even the Guild Leaders of first-rate Guilds had a hard time obtaining a Fine-Gold Mount. As for Dark-Gold Mounts, not even the Guild Leaders of superpowers necessarily had one.
Experts like Burning Sea and the others already had multiple pieces of Epic Equipment. However, they only had Secret-Silver and Fine-Gold Mounts. These Mounts were the reason why they had leveled so quickly.
What was a Flying Mount?
A Flying Mount could fly in the sky and ignore terrain. Flying Mounts were several times faster than those on land!
God's Domain was a virtual reality game. Players' consciousness was completely immersed in God's Domain, unlike the half-immersed virtual reality games of the past. This made God's Domain feel as real as the real world. In addition, NPCs possessed superior intelligence. Some players had even befriended NPCs.
If not for the level statistics and system notifications, everyone would've most likely believed that they were in the real world.
It was the dream of countless people to be able to fly freely in the sky like a bird in the real world.
Moreover, based on the information they had collected so far, it was extremely difficult to obtain a Flying Mount in God's Domain. Unlike land Mounts, which could be purchased with Coins, players could not obtain a Flying Mount.
At this moment, let alone Burning Sea and the others, even Shifeng was surprised by the Thunder Eagle's summoning flute.
He knew about the Thunder Eagle and knew that it dropped in the Thunder God's Secret Land. However, based on what he knew, the Thunder Eagle should only drop in the Thunder God's Mountain Dungeon, which was located in a Level 100 map. Moreover, the drop-rate was extremely low.
Rumor had it that only the team that obtained the Thunder God's Mountain's First Clear would obtain a Thunder Eagle. Throughout the past ten years of God's Domain, less than ten players had obtained a Thunder Eagle. One could see how low the Thunder Eagle's drop-rate was.
Yet, the Naga General had dropped a Thunder Eagle. This was simply unbelievable.
However, this was also why Shifeng gasped after appraising the item. He had never thought that Volenka's loot would be so frightening.
A Common Flying Mount was worth as much as three pieces of Level 100-plus Epic Equipment, and that was only after Flying Mounts had become more common. During the early stages of the game, Common Flying Mounts were worth as much as five pieces of Level 100-plus Epic Equipment.
Meanwhile, the Thunder Eagle wasn't a Common Flying Mount. It was an Extraordinary Flying Mount.
Flying Mounts were categorized differently from land Mounts. They were divided into Common, Extraordinary, and Legendary ranks. There was also the Mythic rank, which was above Mythic rank. However, Shi Feng had never heard of a Mythic Flying Mount before.
These four ranks represented a Flying Mount's growth potential.
Unlike land Mounts, Flying Mounts were similar to Guild Mounts. Flying Mounts could be nurtured continuously and could even be nurtured into Tier 6 Gods. Only, nurturing a Flying Mount was hundreds of times more difficult than nurturing a Guild Mount.
[Thunder Eagle's Summoning Flute] Summons an Extraordinary Thunder Eagle as a flying companion. If the Thunder Eagle dies, it will take 15 natural days to revive. (The Thunder Eagle is blessed by the Thunder God and can be used in the Thunder God's Secret Land.)
"According to our agreement, I'll have priority in choosing one item from the loot. I'll choose the Thunder Eagle's Summoning Flute," Shifeng announced.
The Naga General, Volenka, had indeed dropped plenty of top-tier items. It had even dropped an Epic Equipment. However, compared to the Extraordinary Flying Mount, these items were insignificant.
Although the Thunder Eagle ranked third among the four Flying Mounts, over 90% of God's Domain's Flying Mounts were Common rank. Moreover, as its name suggested, Extraordinary rank was like the difference between an ordinary human and an extraordinary human.
A Common Flying Mount could only reach the peak of Tier 3 at best. Moreover, it required a lot of resources to nurture a Common Flying Mount, and it only had a 3% chance of reaching Tier 4. However, an Extraordinary Flying Mount could reach the peak of Tier 3 without much nurturing. Moreover, it had a 30% chance of reaching Tier 4.
In addition, the starting point for Common Flying Mounts was Tier 2, while the starting point for Extraordinary Flying Mounts was Tier 3.
Moreover, the Thunder Eagle was no ordinary Extraordinary Mount. There were subdivisions among the four ranks of Flying Mounts. Each rank was further divided into three ranks: Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced. However, the Thunder Eagle could only be seen after summoning its mount. Among Extraordinary Mounts, the Thunder Eagle was classified as an Intermediate Extraordinary Mount.
Although he had been the Guild Leader of Shadow, a second-rate Guild, in the past, he had only been able to obtain an Advanced Common Flying Mount. Even after investing a lot of resources into the Flying Mount, the Flying Mount had only reached the peak of Tier 3. The Flying Mount could barely contend with ordinary Tier 4 players.
If he had been able to obtain an Intermediate Extraordinary Flying Mount, he would've been able to defeat ordinary Tier 4 experts.
After Shifeng chose the Thunder Eagle, no one said anything. They only envied him. Even Endless Scars was a little reluctant to part with the Thunder Eagle. However, they had agreed to let it go. Moreover, without Shifeng, they wouldn't have had a chance of killing Volenka.
Following which, Shifeng took the Thunder Eagle's Summoning Flute. As for the other items, he gave them to Samsara and the others.
A short moment later, the distribution of the other items was complete. Among them, Thunder's full set went to Endless Scars, while Samsara received an Epic belt. Everyone else received Dark-Gold and Fine-Gold Equipment one after another, their Attributes increasing slightly.
Following which, Shifeng and the others grinded Naga Guard Captains for two more days. By the time they reached Level 81, Samsara and Endless Scars had received news that several superpowers had arrived at the Thunder Temple. Moreover, these superpowers had begun to clash with the Flower of Seven Sins.
