Although Turtledove's Attributes had decreased slightly after equipping the Steel Crown, the feeling she gave off after donning it changed.
Five ocean-blue gemstones were embedded in the silver crown, giving Turtledove the noble aura of a king. Moreover, Turtledove's expression had also relaxed significantly.
It was obvious that the mental pressure inside the hall had no effect on Turtledove now.
"This crown is amazing. It actually calms my mind significantly. With this, I won't have to worry about mental pressure when dealing with high-tiered SS-types in the future." After equipping the crown, Turtledove felt refreshed. Her mind had also calmed significantly. However, her body had become more nimble. She was on a completely different level from the helmet she had worn before.
"Growth-type equipment is the same as Epic Equipment. They are both extraordinary items. Aside from providing a significant boost to Attributes, they generally have some hidden effects," Shifeng explained.
God's Domain was a virtual reality game that was constantly evolving. In the beginning, everyone had thought that Epic items were only slightly stronger than Dark-Gold items. However, as God's Domain continued to evolve, the Epic items' extraordinariness would gradually reveal itself. Now that God's Domain had evolved four times, some special Epic items would gradually reveal their extraordinary hidden effects, allowing players to display their full combat power.
After the team rested, Shifeng led the team forward.
Beyond the heavy iron gates was a long and narrow corridor that led to a statue plaza. There were no forks in the corridor.
Aside from these statues, there were also groups of monsters. These monsters were not Elemental Creatures. Instead, they were covered in pitch-black spiked scales. Their heads were crescent-shaped, and they had no eyes. However, they had sharp, crisscrossing fangs that sent chills down one's spine. The claws on their limbs were as sharp as daggers, leaving deep claw marks wherever they passed. Among the monsters, there were also silver-white monsters that were two or three times larger than the black monsters. They were obviously more difficult to deal with than the black monsters.
[Corrosive Beast] (Dark Creature, Elite Rank) Level 42 HP 150,000/150,000
[Corrosive Beast King] (Dark Creature, Lord Rank) Level 43 HP 8,000,000/8,000,000
The plaza was like a nest for these Corrosive Beasts. There were tens of thousands of them, and just looking at them was enough to send chills down one's spine.
Meanwhile, there was a massive teleportation array in the center of the plaza. Aside from that, there were no other exits. The only way out was through that teleportation array.
"There are too many monsters here. Do we have to clear them all out?" Youlan frowned as she looked at the disgusting Corrosive Beasts.
Although she had only taken a quick glance at the monsters, she could roughly estimate their numbers. There were at least 10,000 of them, including several hundred silver-white Corrosive Beast Kings. It would be a massive undertaking to clear out these monsters.
Youlan wasn't the only one who felt a headache. Everyone was stupefied by the scene before them. This was definitely the place with the most Lord ranked monsters they had ever seen.
Everyone even felt that as soon as they walked down the stairs, the endless corrosive beasts would swarm them.
Just the thought of facing several hundred Lords made their scalps tingle. They definitely couldn't deal with such a number right now.
Just as everyone was in awe of the number of monsters, they suddenly noticed a large steel door on the other side of the plaza open. A group of players then walked out.
"Why are there other people here?" Youlan was surprised when she saw the group of players.
"It seems that you aren't the only one who has obtained a pass to the Holy City of Titan. We need to hurry." Shifeng was a little surprised, but he wasn't particularly surprised.
The Holy City of Titan's entrance trial was not a Dungeon. It was only an extremely dangerous special map. In addition, the map was divided according to levels. Players between Level 36 and Level 45 shared one map, and players between Level 46 and Level 55 shared another.
Any player with a pass could enter the Holy City of Titan's entrance trial. God's Domain was massive, and there were so many players. It wasn't surprising that other peak players had obtained a pass.
However, the fact that the other party had reached this point proved that their team's standards were extraordinary. He didn't want to give away the benefits of the entrance trial to others.
The entrance trial's four paths had a total of three stages. The initial stages of each path were different. However, after reaching the second stage, aside from the Bosss Path, the other three paths all had this plaza as their second stage. As for the final stage, all four paths were the same.
Among the four paths, the first team to clear the final stage would obtain another benefit — Reputation in the Holy City of Titan. Reputation was extraordinarily difficult to raise in the Holy City of Titan. This was the greatest benefit for the first team to clear the final stage.
Just as Shifeng and the others discovered those players, those players also discovered Shifeng and the others.
"Boss Peerless, there's another team over there. Should we find an opportunity to kill them?" a robust Level 40 Assassin asked as he made a throat-slitting gesture at Shifeng and the others.
"Ignore them. Let's get through this place first. If we encounter them again, it won't be too late to kill them," Peerless, a middle-aged man named Peerless, said. Waving his hand, he said, "Alright, get ready. This time, we need to get through this place as quickly as possible."
"Understood!" As if this wasn't the first time the others had been here, they quickly got to work.
…
"Leader, those people are making a move!" Aqua Rose whispered. "Should we take a look at their situation before making a move?"
Shifeng naturally understood Shiuse Qiangwei's concerns. With their team's strength, they could easily deal with seven or eight Lords. However, if they had to face several hundred Lords simultaneously, even he would feel powerless. Hence, they might as well observe how the opposing players planned to clear the plaza first. That way, they would have a greater chance of success.
However, Shifeng had no intention of letting the opposing team take the lead.
He was determined to obtain the Reputation in the Holy City of Titan!
Although there were many monsters in the plaza, the most troublesome problem was the Corrosive Beasts' disgusting ability.
That ability consumed a lot of the Durability of players' equipment. If they wanted to clear the Corrosive Beasts all the way to the plaza's center, their equipment wouldn't be able to support them.
"All MTs and plate armor classes, come to me," Shifeng said as he took out a large number of Special Devices. Saying so, Shifeng took out a large number of Strengthening Devices from his bag and said, "Everyone, take two of these Strengthening Devices. Once you're done using them, 30 of you will form a circle and form a defensive formation. The rest of the melee players will take over. All ranged DPS and healers will stand in the center. We'll charge our way through."
Hearing Shifeng's words, everyone understood what Shifeng was trying to do.
At this moment, their goal wasn't to kill these monsters. Their main goal was to reach the teleportation array.
They felt like they were on an ancient battlefield. Facing an army of thousands, their goal was to charge straight into the enemy's den.
Only, while this quest might be easy for MTs, it was a different story for ordinary melee players. Not to mention, they would have to face countless Corrosive Beasts. If the healers at the rear couldn't keep up, only death awaited them. After all, previously, the healers had only needed to heal a few MTs. Now, however, they had to heal 30 players. Moreover, the distance from the staircase to the plaza's center was quite long. Just the Mana consumption alone was a huge challenge.
Shifeng's decision was extremely risky.
However, at this moment, Youlan and the others couldn't think of a better plan. They could only grit their teeth and follow Shifeng's instructions. Moreover, now that they had two groups of players, they could disperse some of the monsters. If they waited until the opposing team reached the plaza first, it would be much more difficult for them to reach the plaza.
"Go!" After everyone finished their preparations, Shifeng shouted when he saw that the opposing team had begun to move.
