As Zero Wing's members charged towards the closest group of Trial Warriors and Trial Elites, Violet Sword's and Azure's members were stupefied. They were at a loss for words.
There were over a thousand trial monsters before them, and even the weakest among them was a Level 120 Great Lord. Yet, Ling Yi's team hadn't even bothered to discuss the team's positioning and arrangements. Such a command was simply unheard-of. Moreover, every one of Ling Yi's members had obeyed the command …
"This is simply too reckless!" Wildfire exclaimed anxiously when he saw the Shifeng ignore their opinions. "That's over a thousand trial monsters we're talking about! Even if they can block a portion of the attacks with their fully unlocked Mana Bodies, Refinement Realm experts won't be able to dodge them easily! If we get killed, we won't make it in time …"
Wildfire acknowledged that Ling Yi's members were very high-leveled and had fully unlocked their Mana Bodies. They had an advantage over Violet Sword's peak experts.
However, the trial in this tunnel clearly placed more importance on players' techniques. Levels and fully unlocked Mana Bodies were secondary.
Five days was already a tight time limit. If they died, they'd have to waste a full day. With their current combat power, they simply didn't have that luxury.
"We have no choice but to face them head-on," Crimson Star said. "I'll activate the magic array in a moment. The rest of you, focus on attacking the Trial Elites with everything you've got. As long as we reduce the Trial Elites' Penetrating Attacks, we'll have a much easier time fending off the trial monsters."
Sinful Flame and the other Azure members nodded in agreement. They then led their teams towards the Trial Elites, preparing to kill the Trial Elites as soon as the battle began. This way, Ling Yi's team could reduce the pressure on them and the number of deaths they'd suffer.
As soon as Zero Wing's members entered the trial monsters' attack range, the Trial Warriors and Trial Elites reacted as if they had been on the battlefield for many years, moving in an orderly fashion.
Over 400 Trial Warriors formed a phalanx at the front, their steel shields falling to the ground one after another as they positioned themselves at the forefront of the phalanx. This phalanx completely surrounded the thousands of trial monsters behind the phalanx, making it very difficult for players to break through. As for the trial monsters in the phalanx, they split into several rows and fired arrows at Zero Wing's members in batches.
Everyone was momentarily stunned when they saw the well-organized trial monsters.
Monsters capable of group attacks were common in God's Domain. However, this was the first time they had seen such well-trained trial monsters. They even coordinated with each other like NPCs.
For a time, volley after volley of arrows rained down on Zero Wing's members. Not only did each volley contain over a thousand arrows, but the intervals between each volley was also very short. Moreover, the arrows were scattered in a picturesque pattern. Zero Wing's members simply couldn't block multiple arrows simultaneously.
"It's over. Even peak experts will have a hard time blocking and dodging those arrows. With Ling Yi's Refinement Realm standards, they'll annihilate the trial monsters in just a few waves." Wildfighter's expression darkened when he saw the arrows raining down on him.
Now, let alone Zero Wing's members, even a group of peak experts wouldn't last long if they tried to stop the attack.
Although the arrows' attacks were monotonous, they were very fast. If there were enough arrows, and each arrow had a certain time lag, even a Domain Realm expert wouldn't be able to react in time. After all, players' reaction time was limited, and they could only do so much in a certain amount of time. If they exceeded this limit, even a Domain Realm expert would be powerless to stop them. They'd only be able to watch helplessly.
Although the arrows weren't as powerful, they still weren't something peak experts could endure.
At the very least, players would have to deal with ten or more arrows simultaneously. Some would even have to deal with as many as 20 arrows simultaneously. Even if players could mitigate some of the damage, the number of arrows still exceeded the limits of Tier 3 peak experts. In addition, the arrows were incredibly fast, making it very difficult for players to accurately predict the incoming arrows. Unless players had reached the Domain Realm, it was very easy for Void Realm experts to make a mistake in their judgment and get hit.
Just as the arrows were about to land, a voice echoed in the team chat.
"Vice Commander Crimson, activate the Defensive Spell!" Shifeng commanded calmly when he saw the arrows raining down on him.
"Got it!"
Crimson Star reacted quickly. Waving her staff, she activated the magic array she had already completed.
Immediately, a silver barrier enveloped Ling Yi's team, covering a 200-yard radius around Ling Yi's members.
Tier 3 Curse, Flight Defense!
This Curse, which had a certain chance of nullifying flying tools within range, was also effective against the arrows. In the next moment, over 20% of the arrows rained down on Crimson Star's team. Now, less than 900 arrows remained.
Even so, Violet Sword's and Azure's members wore grim expressions when they heard this news.
Although the arrows had fallen to less than 900, their Attack Power was still above that of peak experts, not to mention Refinement Realm experts.
While everyone was shaking their heads, they watched Zero Wing's members weave through the rain of arrows as if they had long since predicted their trajectories. Zero Wing's members dodged the incoming arrows with indescribable ease. It was as if they were dancing in the rain.
For a time, not a single one of Ling Yi's members had been hit. Several of the team's members had lost over a quarter of their HPs due to the impact of the Trial Elites' Penetrating Arrows. As a result, the healers in Ling Yi's team easily healed them back to full HP.
"How is this possible?!" Floating Light's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when he saw this scene.
Even he had a hard time blocking and dodging those arrows. Yet, Ling Yi's members looked as relaxed as if they were taking a stroll in a garden. How could he possibly believe this?
At this moment, let alone Floating Light, even Solitary Frost and Yan Xiaoqian, who had spent several days with Ling Yi, were stupefied by this scene.
Refinement Realm experts had actually blocked and dodged the attacks that even peak experts would find difficult to deal with. Who would believe this?
They actually blocked and dodged those attacks so easily? Just how did they train? Yan Xiaoqian was confused as she looked at Ling Yi's Refinement Realm experts.
However, what Yan Xiaoqian and the others didn't know was that Ling Yi's core members had long since grown accustomed to these attacks. After all, the training they had received on the Extraordinary Tower's first floor was much harsher. In fact, in Ling Yi's members' opinion, even without Crimson Star's help, they could still block and dodge the trial monsters' arrows.
"Good! We've stabilized the aggro! Everyone, attack! " After several waves of arrows, Shi Feng noticed that the trial monsters had shifted their attention to his team. He could not help but issue commands through the team chat.
After hearing Shifeng's command, Violet Sword's and Azure's members snapped out of their daze and promptly joined Ling Yi's members in attacking the trial monsters.
With Ling Yi's group attracting the trial monsters' attention, the rest of the team faced practically no obstacles. They could attack with everything they had, and the trial monsters fell one after another.
With every trial monster they killed, the team discovered that the trial monsters granted extraordinarily high EXP. The EXP these trial monsters granted was nearly three times that of the outside world. Their leveling speed was also more than three times that of the outside world. For a time, Violet Sword's and Azure's members were ecstatic.
The only downside was that these trial monsters didn't drop a single item, which was a pity.
After everyone had been grinding for half a day, one of the Trial Elites suddenly burst into flames the instant it died. The stele then transformed into a sparkling, incomplete stele that hovered quietly in the air. The stele radiated frightening Mana fluctuations, and many of the Tier 3 experts present couldn't help but take a half-step back when they sensed the stele's aura.
"An Ancient Legacy Stele?!"
Shifeng's eyes widened in shock as he stared at the incomplete stele. For a moment, he couldn't believe his eyes.
