The cave was dark. After everyone entered the cave, they noticed that a magic barrier had sealed off the cave's entrance. Players could forget about entering or exiting the cave unless they found the mechanism to activate the barrier.
In the dim environment, even Tier 2 experts could only see up to 30 yards ahead of them. This was a considerably disadvantageous situation for current players.
Although 30 yards might seem like a long distance, to Lord ranked monsters, it would take them, at most, two seconds to close the distance. If a group of Lord ranked monsters charged at them, even a Tier 2 expert wouldn't be able to react in time and get injured.
"The quest begins now. Everyone, be careful. There are many forks in the path, so make sure to stick close to each other," White Autumn instructed. "Lin Ya, scout ahead. Blue Claw, you guys protect Ye Feng. The monsters here are different from those outside. Ye Feng, you should be careful as well. Those who are not blessed by the Sea God will be greatly suppressed. Do not fight the monsters here one-on-one," White Autumn commanded.
In response to White Autumn's reminder, Shi Feng simply nodded and said nothing in response.
The ruin's suppression on players was indeed very strong. The instant the magic barrier sealed off the cave's entrance, the inside of the cave became a completely different world.
Currently, Shi Feng's physique was only at 60% of his original physique. His Basic Attributes hadn't changed much, but his five senses had become less sensitive. He'd be fortunate to exhibit even half of his combat power. It was no wonder why Lin Ya and White Autumn had warned him repeatedly.
Even a Tier 2 expert wouldn't be a match for a Lord ranked monster of the same level. If they came across a group of Lords, they'd die without a doubt. Even Domain Realm experts wouldn't fare much better. After all, the greatest difference between Domain Realm experts and ordinary experts was their control over their five senses.
Domain Realm experts would be greatly affected by the suppression of their five senses.
White Autumn and the others, on the other hand, were only slightly affected by the suppression. As for the Sea God's Direct Kin, their situation was even worse.
Along the way, Lin Ya, the Assassin, and Silent Rain, the two Sea God's Direct Kin, led the way. Although the suppression was minimal, the monsters inside the cave were extraordinary.
[Naga Siren] (Bloodline Creature, Great Lord) Level 98 HP 63,000,000/63,000,000
The Nagas, who possessed a special bloodline, were like fish in water in the cavern. From time to time, they would launch sneak attacks from the walls of the cavern. After a single attack, they would either retreat or launch sneak attacks from afar with crossbows. Every one of them was like a well-trained assassin of the night. Their combat standards were high, and every one of them had reached the Trial Tower's fifth floor.
Over a dozen Tier 2 peak experts had charged at Shi Feng at once. With their speed and Strength, as well as their combat standards, killing the suppressed Tier 2 peak experts would be child's play.
However, to White Autumn and the others, these Nagas weren't particularly difficult to deal with. Every one of these Nagas possessed the Strength of a Great Lord of the same level. Moreover, the Elementalist Silent Rain and the Berserker Uneducated Bull's Direct Kin were even stronger than these Nagas.
"We can't waste our Stamina here! Hurry up!" White Autumn shouted after repelling a Naga with his shield.
There was an endless number of Sea Monsters in the cavern. No matter how many Sea Monsters they killed, more would swarm forward. If they didn't hurry up, they'd die from exhaustion no matter how powerful they were.
Hearing White Autumn's command, White Autumn and the others hastened their pace. Over three hours later, the team continued to advance deeper into the cavern. However, as they ventured deeper into the cavern, not only did the terrain become more complex, but the number of Nagas also increased.
Initially, there had only been a dozen or so Nagas, but now, there were more than 20 of them. Their coordination also improved. Even though White Autumn and the others had high combat standards, the pressure they faced increased.
Fortunately, White Autumn and the others were very familiar with the cavern's layout. They had been to the cavern more than once. After another two hours, when the number of Nagas had increased to 30, the team arrived at a spacious underground temple.
The instant the team entered the underground temple, a magic barrier sealed off the temple's entrance, forcing the swarming Nagas to give up on pursuing White Autumn and the others.
"That was close! Sure enough, bringing an extra person is a lot of pressure! " Silent Rain said as he glanced at White Autumn. "White, we didn't say anything about bringing an extra person. Once we return, you'll have to pay us more!"
"Rain, don't go too far. The Vice Guild Leader has already paid you handsomely. Moreover, our people will be responsible for protecting the cavern. You'll only be responsible for opening a path for us," Lin Ya said, frowning. She was very dissatisfied with Silent Rain's request.
If not for this ruin's uniqueness, they wouldn't have needed to rely on outsiders. They could've handled everything on their own.
"Alright, then! You guys tank the next monsters. I'll stay in the back. I won't object, "Silent Rain sneered as he pointed at the two Stone Monsters guarding the temple's entrance.
[Stone Giant] (Elemental Creature, Grand Lord) Level 101 HP 375,000,000/375,000,000
"You …" Lin Ya's complexion paled.
Everyone present was very familiar with how powerful Level 100-plus monsters were. This was especially true for the two Stone Giants before them. They had faced these monsters more than once.
Current players simply couldn't go up against the two Stone Giants, not to mention while they were suppressed. Meanwhile, players couldn't use any magic tools or Berserk Skills inside the temple. They could only rely on their Direct Kin, Silent Rain, and Uneducated Bull to tank the Stone Giants for some time before they could open the temple's doors.
Even White Autumn, the Vice Guild Leader, wouldn't be able to tank the Stone Giants for so long. Only Silent Rain and Uneducated Bull could hold out until the temple's doors opened.
"Speak. How much do you want?" White Autumn calmly asked, as if he had long since guessed Silent Rain's request.
"Not much. Just one Ocean Barrier Stone each will do. You should know that we're Direct Kin. Our consumption of Ocean Barrier Stones is far greater than yours. Giant's Heart is rich and powerful. You're nothing like us independent players who have joined the Adventurer Alliance," Silent Rain said, chuckling.
However, just as White Autumn was about to agree to Silent Rain's request, one of the team's Shifeng suddenly spoke up.
"Vice Guild Leader White, we'll get two Ocean Barrier Stones if we tank the two monsters?" the Shifeng asked softly.
As soon as the Shifeng spoke up, everyone's gaze shifted to the Shifeng.
"What's this guy doing?" Lin Ya's mood soured when she saw the Shifeng asking the question. The team had already spent a lot of effort protecting the Shifeng, yet now, he was joining in on the fun.
White Autumn couldn't help but look at the Shifeng in confusion. He couldn't understand what the Shifeng was trying to do.
"If we can tank these two monsters for 30 seconds, I don't mind giving you two extra Ocean Barrier Stones," White Autumn said. Although he didn't mind the Shifeng's offer, he was very curious about their intentions.
"What? Brat, you think you can give it a try as well?" Silent Rain laughed. "Sure! If you're so good, then go ahead! I won't object! As long as you can tank these two monsters, I'll even give you White's reward! "
Even White Autumn had a hard time holding off the Rock Giants. The slightest mistake would've cost him his life. It would be strange if a player without the Sea God's blessing could hold off the Rock Giants.
"Since that's the case, I'll give it a try," the Shifeng said as he slowly approached the two Rock Giants.
When the Shifeng was less than 100 yards away from the two Rock Giants, the two Rock Giants' eyes suddenly glowed red as they charged at Xiang Shifeng. The Rock Giants' frightening auras caused everyone to tense up.
