"A primordial ruin?"
Shifeng's interest was piqued when he heard the words "primordial ruin."
Ruins were most likely to appear in God's Domain's secret lands. They were divided into ancient ruins and primordial ruins based on their era. Primordial ruins were extremely rare due to the passage of time. Most primordial ruins had been destroyed during the ancient era. Primordial ruins that remained in the modern era were as rare as Legendary items.
In ancient times, there were many gods. It was also the era when the ancient gods still existed. If one was lucky, it was not impossible to find some things left behind by the ancient gods in the ancient ruins.
"Where are you?" Shifeng asked through the team chat.
"A creek canyon to the south. There are over 3,000 Evil Blood Soldiers patrolling the area. They seem to be guarding this primordial ruin," Fire Dance said as she looked at the patrolling Evil Blood Soldiers patrolling the area. "Moreover, aside from the Evil Blood Soldiers, I suspect that the primordial ruin is a sacrificial ground for the Evil Blood monsters. Previously, I saw quite a few Level 160-plus Superior Mythic Evil Blood Priests entering the ruin. They seemed to be conducting some kind of ritual. The defenses inside should be extremely tight. It'll be very difficult to sneak in. We'll have to break through them head-on …"
"Over 3,000 Evil Blood Soldiers?" Shifeng frowned when he heard Fire Dance's report.
If there were only a few hundred Mythic ranked Evil Blood Soldiers, he might be able to lead his team in a fight, but there were over 3,000 of them. Not to mention, there were even Superior Mythic ranked Evil Blood monsters. Even if he could hold his ground, the others wouldn't. After all, these Evil Blood Soldiers weren't fools.
If 3,000 Evil Blood Soldiers used their Tier 4 Skills simultaneously, he'd have no choice but to evade their attacks. Even though he was a Tier 5 player, he'd still receive damage if the Tier 4 monsters hit him.
Tier 5 players could rely on their reaction speed and Movement Speed to dodge and block attacks, but Tier 4 players could only dream of dodging and blocking a large number of Tier 4 Skills. Even with World Creation, it was impossible. This was because Tier 4 Mythic monsters could track a Tier 4 player's movement speed and accurately attack. Let alone hundreds of Mythic monsters, even a few dozen Evil Blood Soldiers would be more than enough to kill a Tier 4 MT, not to mention other Tier 4 players.
At the very least, they'd need three or four Tier 5 players to take on the 3,000-plus Mythic ranked Evil Blood Soldiers head-on. Let alone killing the Evil Blood Soldiers, a single Tier 5 player would have a hard time just dodging the Tier 4 Skills and Spells.
To put it bluntly, it was more than enough to preserve his life, but it was impossible to kill him head-on.
"Guild Leader, why don't we kill those Evil Blood Soldiers in batches?" Cold Shadow couldn't help but suggest, "Although there are a lot of Evil Blood Soldiers, they are relatively scattered. It will take some time for them to gather. We can take advantage of this opportunity to kill a few Evil Blood Soldiers. Once the Evil Blood Soldiers have gathered, we can retreat. After a few rounds, those Evil Blood Soldiers won't be able to hold on."
"That's a good idea." Shifeng shook his head after hearing Cold Shadow's suggestion. "However, the precondition is that the enemy doesn't have a healer class. Those Evil Blood Priests are all capable of healing. Moreover, as Superior Mythic monsters, their casting range is extremely wide. If I'm not mistaken, those Evil Blood Soldiers' patrol range should be within the healing range of the Priests. As long as we attack the Evil Blood Soldiers, the Priests will definitely heal them immediately.
"With a Superior Mythic monster's healing ability, unless we can kill the Evil Blood Soldiers in an extremely short time, we won't be able to kill them."
Cold Shadow fell silent after hearing Cold Shadow's words.
Regardless of whether he killed the Evil Blood Soldiers or the Evil Blood Priests first, he had no other choice. This was because the Evil Blood Priests possessed powerful healing abilities. If he didn't have the strength to kill several Evil Blood Priests simultaneously, he wouldn't be able to deal with these Evil Blood monsters. To put it bluntly, he couldn't afford to be sneaky.
"Are we really going to give up just like that?" White Feather grew anxious. "That's a primordial ruin we're talking about!"
Even Mythology had never come across a primordial ruin before. They had only explored a few primordial ruins. Even so, their harvest was massive. This was especially true when it came to the improvement of their Mana Bodies. The several old monsters in the Guild had improved their Mana Bodies so quickly due to the primordial ruins they had explored.
Meanwhile, primordial ruins were far more valuable than ancient ruins. If they could obtain the treasures inside, it wouldn't be strange for them to get promoted to Tier 5. After all, the primordial ruins were ruins left behind by the Ancient Gods. The Legacies inside were incomparable to the Legacies of ancient times and modern God's Domain.
"It's not like we don't have a chance." After giving the matter some thought, Shifeng suddenly said, "However, I'm afraid that it will be very risky. We might even get team-wiped."
Entering a secret land wasn't without restrictions. Depending on the rank of the secret land, the Cooldown would also vary. Players were only allowed to enter a God Mode secret land once every ten days, and if they got team-wiped, they'd have to respawn outside the secret land. They'd have to wait another ten days before they could enter the secret land again.
Meanwhile, their harvest in the Evil God's Secret Land was massive. They could kill even more monsters. They didn't have to take risks to improve their strength.
Looking at Xiang Shifeng curiously, Cold Shadow asked, "Guild Leader, how confident are you?"
"I have a 30% to 40% chance of success," Shifeng said after giving the matter some thought. "Of course, that's only if nothing unexpected happens in the ruin."
"30% to 40%?" Cold Shadow could not help but look at Shifeng. This was a very high chance of success. After all, they'd have to go up against over 3,000 Evil Blood Soldiers and Evil Blood Priests. She then said, "I think we can give it a try. It would be a pity if we fail, but I'm afraid that it'll be very difficult for us to improve our strength in the Evil God's Secret Land unless we venture deeper into the secret land. However, there should be plenty of Tier 5 Legendary monsters roaming the area. We might not even be able to defeat them. Why don't we take the risk?
Tier 5 Legendary monsters were not easy to defeat. It was just like how Tier 4 players had a hard time soloing Tier 4 Mythic monsters.
Meanwhile, in the Evil God's Secret Land, a fight with a Tier 5 Mythic monster would most likely attract even more Tier 5 Mythic monsters. As long as two Mythic monsters appeared, their team would be annihilated without a doubt. Of everyone present, only Shi Feng had a chance of survival.
Hei Zi, Ke Le, and the others nodded in agreement when they heard Cold Shadow's words.
Currently, Shi Feng's weapons and equipment had improved significantly. If he wished to upgrade his weapons and equipment to the next level, it would be very difficult for him to do so within a short time. After all, if he wanted to upgrade a Fragmented Legendary item to Legendary rank, he'd have to rely on luck. After all, not every Fragmented Legendary item required God Crystals to upgrade. Not to mention, God Crystals' drop-rate was completely random. God Crystals wouldn't drop just because he wanted them.
"Since you all think it's fine, let's give it a try," Shifeng said. "Entering the primordial ruin is actually very simple. I just need someone to hold back the Evil Blood monsters outside. As long as I can lure a large number of them out, I'll be able to enter the ruin. However, before that, I'll need you all to hold back the Evil Blood monsters that have been lured out. Otherwise, once they gather, I'll have no choice but to run for my life. I won't be able to do anything inside the ruin."
"Leave it to us, Guild Leader!" Ke Le said, patting his chest. Confidently, he continued, "We have MTs. If we use Taunt and take turns using our Lifesaving Skills, we'll have no problems holding on for five minutes."
"Aside from Ke Le and the others, we magical classes can also use magic barriers to trap the Evil Blood monsters for some time," Zhao Yueru said, nodding.
Shifeng nodded and said, "Alright, I'll leave it to you. I'll explore the ruin as quickly as possible."
After saying so, Fire Dance, Cold Shadow, and Yan Tianxing split up and began to attract the Evil Blood Soldiers' attention from three different directions. They did their best to lure the Evil Blood Soldiers out of the primordial ruin and toward the predetermined location.
Once the number of Evil Blood Soldiers reached a certain point, even Tier 4 experts like Fire Dance and the others had to activate their Berserk Skills and various Lifesaving Skills to barely survive. Even so, they managed to lure over 70% of the Evil Blood Soldiers to the predetermined location.
Once the Evil Blood Soldiers reached the predetermined location, Ke Le, Ye Wumian, Turtledove, and White Feather used their AOE Taunt Skills, forcing the Evil Blood Soldiers to target them. Following which, the four MTs activated all sorts of Lifesaving Skills and frantically dodged the Evil Blood Soldiers' attacks. At the same time, the healers frantically healed the four MTs.
As a result, the four MTs' HPs fluctuated. Their lives were hanging by a thread.
After the four MTs lured the Evil Blood Soldiers, Shifeng, who had been hiding a short distance away from the primordial ruin, took a step forward and dashed toward the primordial ruin.
Due to the Nightwalker's Cape's ability, the Shifeng only needed one step to cross a distance of several hundred yards.
In less than two seconds, the Shifeng crossed several thousand yards and arrived before the primordial ruin's entrance. Before the Evil Blood monsters guarding the entrance could react, the Shifeng transformed into afterimages and dove into the ruin's ruins.
The instant Shi Feng entered the Primordial Ruin, the Evil Blood monsters went berserk. Their eyes turned bloodshot as they swarmed the Swordsman, their speed and reaction speed increasing significantly. The several Evil Blood Priests kneeling in the ruin's hall even began to chant Tier 4 Curses in a frenzy, bombarding the Swordsman's advance with one Tier 4 Curse after another. The Swordsman bombarded the Primordial Ruin with attacks as if their lives depended on it.
However, to a Tier 5 player like Shi Feng, who was equipped with Mythic Equipment, he didn't even need to put up any resistance. He could easily dodge the attack.
In the blink of an eye, the Shifeng disappeared from the spacious main hall and entered the second underground floor. The various Magic Traps along the way were useless against the Shifeng, who had already reached the Grandmaster Magic Array standard.
In less than a minute, the Shifeng arrived at the primordial ruin's innermost depths.
In the deepest part of the underground ruins, there seemed to be a space of nothingness. In this space of nothingness stood a majestic ancient divine hall. Even after countless years, the ancient divine hall still radiated with unimaginable divine might.
If the Shifeng hadn't already reached Tier 5, he wouldn't have been able to withstand the temple's natural Divine Might.
What a powerful temple. If I didn't have the Mythic ranked Nightwalker's Cape, even I would've been affected. The Shifeng was inwardly astonished as he looked at the temple before him.
The Nightwalker's Cape didn't just conceal the wearer's aura and pressure. It also had the ability to resist the aura and pressure of the outside world, acting as an isolation barrier that isolated the wearer from the outside world.
However, despite the Nightwalker's Cape's isolation barrier, the temple's Divine Might still affected the wearer, reducing his Movement Speed by 30%. One could just imagine how frightening the temple's Divine Might was.
One could say that even a Tier 6 God wouldn't be able to compare to this ancient temple.
For a temple to possess such Divine Might, the only other possibility was that it had been left behind by an Ancient God!
When Shi Feng arrived before the ancient shrine, the several hundred Evil Blood monsters that had been relentlessly pursuing him suddenly stopped. Instead, they simply stood in the distance and worshipped the shrine. None of them showed any intention of approaching the shrine.
This allowed the Shifeng to relax as he easily entered the ancient temple. Now, all he had to do was figure out how to get out.
However, after the Shifeng entered the temple, he was greeted by the sight of a cloaked, scholarly youth standing quietly in the temple's brightly lit main hall.
At this moment, this youth was trying his best to piece together several golden tablets. The magic array that appeared before him was so complex that even the Shifeng felt a headache coming on.
The instant the Shifeng saw this youth, he felt his soul shudder.
"It's you!"
Shi Feng stared at the Black Cloaked youth before him, his eyes filled with disbelief.
This cloaked youth was none other than the mysterious youth who had attacked him in Blackwing City and had even bound him with Soul Chains.
"So, it's you, little fellow." The mysterious youth glanced at the Shifeng behind him. Slightly surprised, he said, "To think that you're still alive after being bound by my Soul Chains. You really are surprising."
"Should I feel honored, then?" The Shifeng asked cautiously as he looked at the mysterious youth before him.
When he first met the mysterious youth in Blackwing City, he already felt that the youth was extraordinary. He was definitely not an ordinary Tier 5 player. Otherwise, the mysterious youth wouldn't have been able to escape from Blackwing City.
Now, however, even after reaching Tier 5, he still couldn't glean any specific information about the mysterious youth.
The only thing he could tell was that the mysterious youth before him was also a Tier 5 player. However, the mysterious youth gave off a very special feeling. Even though he was also a Tier 5 player, he still felt an inexplicable sense of fear when facing the mysterious youth.
"Not bad. As a heaven-blessed individual of God's Domain, the fact that you managed to reach Tier 5 so quickly proves that you barely qualify to become my puppet." The mysterious youth looked at the Shifeng as if he were looking at a toy. A joyful smile then appeared on his face as he said, "Since you've taken the initiative to come knocking on my door, I'll set you free today!"
After saying so, the mysterious youth raised a finger.
Immediately, a black ball of Mana shot toward the Shifeng. As the black ball of Mana flew through the air, it shattered, transforming the surrounding space into nothingness and darkness.
