The bottom of the Dragon's Maw was extremely dark. With the sudden appearance of over a dozen shadows, Shifeng had no time to control the Tier 3 Demon to defend himself.
Seeing three fist-sized shadows fly towards him, Shifeng immediately switched the Seven Luminaries Ring's Aura of Wind to the Aura of Earth and activated Absolute Defense.
Immediately, a faint yellow glow emerged from Shifeng's body. When the shadows collided with the glow, they shook violently.
The impact was so powerful that even after activating Absolute Defense, Shifeng was thrown back by over ten yards.
After colliding with the shadows again and again, Shifeng finally got a good look at the shadows.
[Quartz Bug] (Special Elite) Level 60 HP 420,000/420,000
These Quartz Bugs were made entirely of black Quartz. Due to their small size and high speed, it was very difficult to detect them in the dark. Although they did not have much HP, their Attack Power was frighteningly high. Moreover, these Quartz Bugs were very smart. They immediately gave up on attacking the Tier 3 Demon and switched targets to Shifeng.
Even a Tier 2 player would die instantly if they were struck by so many Quartz Bugs.
However, Shifeng had Absolute Defense. Even if these Quartz Bugs were Level 60 Special Elites, they could not break through the Aura of Earth's Absolute Defense.
However, the number of Quartz Bugs continued to increase.
In the blink of an eye, over 60 Quartz Bugs had appeared around Shifeng, their tiny eyes flashing with a bright red glow. Just looking at these Quartz Bugs sent chills down one's spine.
These Quartz Bugs gave Shifeng no chance to escape. They surrounded Shifeng and launched a frenzied assault.
Every second, Shi Feng heard dozens of intense collisions. It sounded as if someone was firing a machine gun. Shifeng had no chance of retaliating at all.
As long as Absolute Defense's duration ended, Shifeng would die.
These Quartz Bugs are more than enough to kill a group of players. Shifeng inwardly celebrated his Skill, Absolute Defense. Otherwise, even after reaching Level 50 and becoming a Tier 2 player, he would still die.
Just as Absolute Defense's duration was about to end in less than two seconds, the distant Tier 3 Demon finished its incantation and cast the Tier 3 Spell, Annihilation Storm, at the Shifeng's location.
Annihilation Storm was one of the Tier 3 large-scale destruction Spells that covered an area of 50 yards. It could easily cover the Shifeng and all the Quartz Worms.
Suddenly, a gigantic tornado descended from the gigantic blue magic array that had appeared in the air.
Whether it was the Shifeng or the Quartz Worms, they were all sucked into the tornado. Countless wind blades began to attack them from all directions.
The HP of the Quartz Worms decreased at a rate visible to the naked eye. Meanwhile, the Shifeng was sent flying into the sky.
The duration of Absolute Defense was about to end. Shifeng immediately halted the Tier 3 Demon's casting.
The tornado suddenly stopped.
In the next moment, every Quartz Worm that was over a hundred meters in the air had only a sliver of HP remaining. Some only had around 10,000 to 20,000 HP remaining, while the others only had around 30,000 to 50,000 HP remaining. If not for the Shifeng suddenly halting their spellcasting, the Quartz Worms would've died. These Quartz Worms definitely wouldn't have survived.
However, Shifeng had no choice but to stop his spellcasting. Otherwise, he would've died as well.
Suspended in the air, the monsters and players that could not fly were unable to move. They were forced to follow the gravitational pull.
Shifeng had activated Gravity Liberation, reducing his falling speed to less than one-tenth of his normal falling speed. At the same time, he controlled the Tier 3 Demon to cast the Tier 3 Spell, Tempest, at the falling area.
Tempest was not a large-scale destruction Spell. Instead, it was an AOE Spell that dealt magic damage to a cone-shaped area 20 yards in front of it.
The Tier 3 Spell, Annihilation Storm, would sweep all targets within its range into the air and gather them in one spot. Hence, the cone-shaped area of 20 yards could easily cover the falling area. Due to the difference in falling time, while Shifeng was still in the air, the Quartz Worms had already hit the ground.
Suddenly, countless Flame Blades flew from the Tier 3 Demon's hands, devouring the Quartz Worms that had just landed.
104189-
110467
…
Damages of over -100,000 filled the screen. The Quartz Worms that only had a sliver of HP left could not endure the damage.
Only after the Tier 3 Spell, Tempest, had ended did Shifeng slowly descend to the ground. At this moment, the ground was littered with the Quartz Worms' corpses, and the items they had dropped covered the ground. Meanwhile, Shifeng's EXP bar was rapidly increasing.
The Quartz Bug was a Level 60 Special Elite. Although the EXP awarded was not as much as a normal Level 60 Special Elite, it was still more than a Level 60 Elite.
Moreover, Shifeng was only Level 35. The EXP reward for fighting a monster 25 levels higher was extremely frightening. However, in God's Domain, the EXP reward for fighting a monster of a higher level was not unlimited. At most, the EXP reward could only be increased by 20 times.
However, to Shifeng's current EXP reward, 20 times was still an astronomical amount.
With this, Shifeng's EXP had risen from 9% to 98% of Level 35. He was only 2% away from reaching Level 36. At this level, he would definitely rank first on the Starmoon Kingdom's Ranking List.
Currently, the number one player on the Starmoon Kingdom's Ranking List was only close to Level 35. He would need at least half a day to reach Level 35.
"Using this method to level up isn't a bad idea." Shifeng could not help but smile as he looked at the EXP he had earned.
Special Elites were not cabbages that could be found on the streets. Even in an Asura Mode Regional Dungeon like the Stoneclaw Mountains, only eight or nine Special Elites would appear out of a hundred. Hence, it was practically impossible to find a group of Special Elites to grind.
Moreover, the Tier 3 Demon's Tier 3 Skill, Annihilation Storm, had an 80-minute Cooldown. It could only be used four times every five hours. As for the Demon's other Tier 3 Skills, they could not achieve the effect of an instant-kill.
Most importantly, it would be very difficult to find so many Quartz Worms.
After Shifeng cleared out the Quartz Worms, the surrounding area fell silent. Only the corpses of the Quartz Worms remained.
The Quartz Worms did not give a lot of EXP, but their loot was quite good. Moreover, Shifeng had Icarus's Heart, which increased his Luck. The 60-plus Quartz Worms had dropped plenty of Level 50-plus Bronze and Mysterious-Iron Equipment. They had even dropped an Engineering Design.
"A Dazzle Bomb?" Shifeng was ecstatic.
Engineering could be used to create many interesting things, but there were very few things that could be used in combat.
Take the Frost Grenade for example. Not only could it deal damage, but it also had a control effect. However, only Master Engineers could produce such items. The Engineering Design was also extremely difficult to obtain. If one were to purchase it normally, it would be extremely expensive. Ordinary players could not afford it.
The Dazzle Bomb was not as advanced as the Frost Grenade. Although it could not deal any damage, it was easy to produce, and its materials were not rare. Hence, the Dazzle Bomb had become one of the tools that players often used in field battles.
The Dazzle Bomb could blind nearby creatures for a short time, and its effect on players was halved.
After Shifeng finished cleaning up the corpses, he was about to leave the area.
For some reason, the gray stone on the statues that had originally stood on the ground began to disappear, revealing their original appearances.
Every one of these statues, which had regained their original appearances, radiated a frightening aura. Shifeng felt immense pressure, and he could not help but retreat.
However, these petrified statues had already noticed Shifeng's presence.
