The instant the team charged out of the staircase, they attracted the attention of the surrounding Corrosive Beasts. These Corrosive Beasts turned to look at Xiang Shifeng and the others before charging at the team.
Unlike ordinary Elite monsters, the Corrosive Beasts had a layer of corrosive acid covering their bodies.
Regardless of whether players used their weapons to attack the Corrosive Beasts or the Corrosive Beasts' claws to attack their equipment, the corrosive acid would reduce their equipment's Durability.
Equipment below Secret-Silver rank would become scrap after a few hits. Even Fine-Gold Equipment wouldn't last long. Only Dark-Gold Equipment could survive for a short time.
Against the wave of Corrosive Beasts, it was impossible to avoid the corrosive Beasts. Their only option was to use the limited time they had to reach the teleportation array in the plaza's center.
The instant the team clashed with the Corrosive Beast army, although the Corrosive Beasts did not break the team's formation, everyone's expressions turned grim after clashing with the Corrosive Beasts several times.
"My weapon!"
"My equipment!"
"What kind of monsters are these?!"
The team members could not help but exclaim when they saw the Durability of their weapons and equipment.
Even their Dark-Gold Weapons had lost 1 point of Durability after hitting the Corrosive Beasts for a short while. Normally, Dark-Gold Weapons only had around 120 Durability.
The Dark-Gold Equipment they wore was even worse. After receiving a few hits, the Strengthening Device's Durability decreased by 1 point. Without the Strengthening Device, they wouldn't have lasted long.
"Commander, look at that team. It seems they've been prepared for this." Fire Dance did not stand at the outermost perimeter. Instead, she used her throwing knives to repel the approaching Corrosive Beasts. Hence, she focused her attention on the distant team.
"That's a smart idea." Shifeng was slightly surprised when he turned to look at the approaching team.
At this moment, the team had not formed a defensive circle. Instead, they had formed a sharp blade. They had their most durable MTs charge forward madly, while the rest of the team followed closely behind. Both sides were flanked by melee players. When these melee players attacked, they would do their best to knock away the Corrosive Beasts in front of them, allowing these Corrosive Beasts to ram into other Corrosive Beasts to buy some time. However, during this short period of time, the distance between the two sides had widened.
In addition, the magical class players standing in the center of the team also took out Tier 1 and Tier 2 Magic Scrolls. These Magic Scrolls were all AOE Spells. Whenever a Corrosive Beast King charged at them, these magical class players would immediately use them to repel the Corrosive Beast Kings and other Corrosive Beasts, greatly increasing the team's speed.
Although both sides had rushed towards the teleportation array at the same time, the other side was much faster than them.
"Boss Peerless, your plan is indeed effective. We won't need half the time from the last time."
"That's right! Boss Wan Shi is still the best! This time, we'll definitely pass the trial!"
"That team really is stupid. I'm afraid that we won't even need to do anything. They'll all die halfway."
"Hahaha! I actually hope that they can pass this trial. The fact that they've made it this far means that their weapons and equipment are excellent. This way, we can earn some top-tier equipment."
Everyone on the team laughed as they discussed the situation.
As the distance between the two sides was too great, they couldn't identify the other side. They could only see the other side's silhouettes. Although they couldn't obtain any basic information about the other side, it was impossible for them to reach the second stage without a certain level of weapons and equipment. After all, they had fought their way through the first stage. They knew full well how difficult the first stage was.
…
"Commander Ye Feng, we can't continue like this. These Corrosive Beasts are wearing down our equipment too much," Youlan said anxiously. Anxiously, she continued, "Why don't we use Magic Scrolls to clean up?"
The Corrosive Beasts' corrosive power was much higher than they had expected. If not for the Strengthening Devices, their equipment would've long since reached their limits. However, they were still some distance away from the teleportation array. Moreover, more Corrosive Beast Kings had gathered.
Initially, there had only been one or two Corrosive Beast Kings. Now, there were over a dozen of them. They hadn't even made it one-third of the way to the teleportation array, yet there were already so many of them.
The Corrosive Beast Kings were much stronger than the Corrosive Beasts. Not only were their Attributes higher, but their corrosive power was also stronger. Even an MT like Ke Le, who wielded an Epic Shield, would have a hard time against them.
Currently, the only thing they could do was use Magic Scrolls with an AOE impact effect. Although they hadn't prepared for this, they had at least brought some with them.
As for using large-scale destruction Spells, they would only worsen the team's situation.
Large-scale destruction Spells didn't differentiate between friend and foe. However, even if they cleared a space, other Corrosive Beasts would quickly fill it. They would have to wait for the Spells to end before they could proceed. Rather than wasting time, they might as well fight their way through.
"No rush. Wait until we're halfway through the teleportation array," Shifeng rejected Youlan's suggestion.
Many teams frequently used Magic Scrolls with an AOE impact effect. However, there was a hidden secret in the second stage. When two or more teams were halfway through the teleportation array, they would awaken the King of Corrosion, Sailu Tiban, from its slumber.
Now that the opposing team was already halfway through the teleportation array, Shi Feng didn't want to enter the teleportation array too soon. At the very least, he had to wait until the opposing team was two-thirds of the way through the teleportation array. That way, the King of Corrosion's target would be the opposing team, not Shi Feng's team, who had just reached the Domain Realm.
Youlan was speechless when she heard Shifeng's words. However, since Shifeng's previous commands had been excellent, she couldn't say anything about it. She could only wait until the King of Corrosion's team reached their limits before taking action.
Time passed quickly. As the two teams charged at the teleportation array again and again, more Corrosive Beast Kings surrounded the teleportation array. In the blink of an eye, there were over a hundred Corrosive Beast Kings. Even Peerless's team began to slow down.
However, when Peerless's team was less than a quarter of the way through the teleportation array, Shifeng's team was finally halfway through the teleportation array.
Suddenly, a pillar of light shot into the sky from the center of the square. The pillar of light was jade-green in color and emitted a dense, dark-green fog. Wherever the fog passed, the ground was severely corroded. The ground was also riddled with holes, causing everyone to feel a chill run down their backs.
"What's going on?" Peerless's complexion turned ugly as he stared at the pillar of light.
This was not his first time here. Rather, it was his third time here. During his first trip here, he had failed two-thirds of the way through the teleportation array. He had only managed to complete the teleportation array on his second trip. However, he had never encountered such a situation before. When he obtained the pillar of light, in particular, he felt a chill run down his spine. His mind constantly warned him of the danger ahead.
While everyone panicked, a ferocious monster over twenty meters tall walked out of the pillar of light. It was at least three times larger than the Corrosive Beast Kings. Its entire body was jade-green, and green liquid continuously dripped from its scales. When the liquid touched the ground, it corroded a large hole in the ground. In addition, a green mist surrounded the monster.
This monster was none other than the King of Corrosion, Sailu Tiban!
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
"Why is there such a monster here?!" Peerless's expression darkened as he stared at the King of Corrosion Sailu Tiban.
