Chapter 1 The Scale-Armored Lizard

The scale-armored lizard, as massive as a mountain, merely lay on the ground, yet it was surrounded by a layer of green poisonous mist that covered an area with a radius of over 50 yards. Within the mist's range, not a blade of grass grew; the earth was parched, as if the land's very life had been devoured by the poisonous fog.

The Zero Wing members watched from afar, and couldn't help but shudder.

A level 70 Mythic monster!

Not only was it over ten levels higher than them, but the surrounding poisonous mist made it impossible to approach. The sheer size of its hundred-meter-long body meant that even a casual movement could change the entire landscape, and a single swipe of its claw could crush countless people.

Even if they were already at level 70, facing such a monster, they would probably only be able to watch helplessly, let alone their current levels which were still below 60.

After all, besides the Mythic scale-armored lizard, there were thousands upon thousands of Lord and Grand Lord ranked monsters...

In this environment filled with primordial energy, each of these Lord monsters would likely require a Tier 2 team of comparable level to handle. Not to mention the Grand Lords above them; without a Tier 2 team of twenty players of the same level charging in, it would simply be suicide.

At this moment, even elite members of the Zero Wing Guild, including Tier 2 MTs like Ye Wumian, felt uneasy.

With their current attributes and strength, they could withstand one or two level 67 or 68 Grand Lords without using burst skills. They could barely withstand a single level 69 High Grand Lord, but right now, there were over twenty High Grand Lords in sight alone, not to mention the numerous Grand Lords.

If they all swarmed at once, they would have no chance of survival.

"Guild Leader, grinding here is already very difficult for our guild's Tier 2 classes. Relying on Tier 1 classes..." Jian Ying glanced around at the surroundings, feeling considerable pressure. Leaving aside the enormous Mythic monster, he sensed the threat of death in several locations within the canyon, let alone the others in the guild.

It could be said that the monsters in this place were simply not something they could grind against.

"It's certainly impossible to grind like this, but what if these monsters' base stats were halved, and there was no primordial energy suppression?" Shi Feng said with a smile.

As a newly emerged forbidden zone within Witch Hill, this place might not be much to players over level 100, but for players who weren't even level 70, it was no different from a death zone. At the same time, it was also a treasure trove for leveling and grinding equipment.

Because it had not yet been explored, the number of monsters was at its highest, and the drop rates in all aspects were relatively high. Moreover, the monsters respawned quickly, so even if tens of thousands of people leveled here, they wouldn't feel that the resources were insufficient.

But to turn a death zone into a treasure trove, there must be a prerequisite: they had to be able to grind.

For a Tier 1 player team below level 70 to come here would be no different from seeking death, but with the Void Domain, it was a different story. With the base stats reduced by nearly half, and the primordial energy's suppression of players gone, even level 60 Tier 1 class players could grind here, though the efficiency would be very low.

But even if the efficiency was poor, this was still grinding against monsters above their level. Leaving aside what the monsters dropped, the experience points alone would make the various powers green with envy. After all, level was an important guarantee for improving a player's combat power.

Their Zero Wing Guild was unlike other super forces, having fought its way up. Even with Zero Wing City and other tools, the overall level of Zero Wing members was still slightly inferior to that of other first-rate guilds, let alone super forces.

Perhaps he personally was already very powerful in God's Domain, and had even cultivated many experts in a short period of time, but such power was ultimately limited. If he wanted to make Zero Wing truly powerful, he still needed to improve the overall strength of Zero Wing's members.

And in God's Domain, there was a small watershed every five levels, because weapons and equipment were replaced every five levels. So, if strength was lacking, level could compensate. If many players in the Zero Wing Guild could reach level 60, it would be a huge boost to the overall strength of the Zero Wing Guild. After all, the top experts of the major guilds were only level 59 right now, and were still quite far from the level 60 mark, let alone the elite and expert players in the guild.

"Base stats halved, no suppression?" Jian Ying thought for a moment, feeling that it was quite possible. Even if Tier 1 classes couldn't withstand it, Zero Wing had brought quite a few Tier 2 classes this time. "But can this be done?"

"Don't worry, I've already prepared this." Shi Feng said with a smile as he took the Void Domain magic scroll out of his backpack.

"A magic array? But there are so many monsters..." Jian Ying looked at the magic scroll Shi Feng had taken out, and roughly understood. Using a magic array to suppress the monsters, but with so many monsters, it was impossible for a few magic arrays to cover all of them.

"You'll understand when you see it in a moment," Shi Feng then handed the Void Domain to Banxia Qingcheng and the others. "Take people to deploy the magic scrolls in these locations, and don't attract any monsters when casting the magic."

"Leave it to us," Banxia Qingcheng and the others looked at the locations marked by Shi Feng, and then started to move.

The positions of the magic arrays set by Shi Feng were on the mountainside of the canyon. As long as they were deployed, they could radiate over half of the canyon, allowing everyone to deploy their formations in the canyon, so that ten thousand people wouldn't be without combat space in the canyon.

As Banxia Qingcheng and the others arrived at their positions, they unfurled the enhanced Void Domain magic scrolls.

In an instant, a huge silver-white magic array appeared in mid-air, covering half of the canyon, and shrouding all the monsters within everyone's field of vision. The originally dense primordial energy seemed to have been purified, completely dissipating without a trace. Not only that, all the monsters within the range began to weaken, and their base stats plummeted.

This left everyone in Zero Wing dumbfounded.

The base stats of the Lord and Grand Lord ranked monsters directly decreased by 50%, making their base stats even worse than those of level 60 Lords and Grand Lords, leaving them with only the advantages of level and combat skills.

"MTs, start pulling monsters! Fight in units of a hundred, and don't enter each other's combat range. Cola and you other Tier 2 MTs, go and tank the High Grand Lords. The other Tier 1 MTs just need to deal with the Lords and Grand Lords!" Shi Feng looked at the fully deployed Void Domain, and then gave the order.

As Shi Feng issued one order after another, the tens of thousands of Zero Wing members quickly split into a hundred teams, all scattered throughout the canyon. Each team had to deal with at least three to five Grand Lords. Teams with Tier 2 MTs had to withstand a level 69 High Grand Lord.

Because of the power of the Void Domain, the extremely dangerous forbidden zone instantly became less dangerous.

Although the level suppression was relatively large, the overall damage dealt to these monsters was low. Even the attacks of Tier 2 classes barely exceeded ten thousand, while the other Tier 1 classes only dealt a few thousand damage. However, the health of the monsters in the forbidden zone was slowly decreasing due to the continuous attacks of the Zero Wing teams.

Originally, it only took less than ten minutes to fight monsters of the same level, but now it took more than half an hour to clear a team of monsters. However, as the Lords and Grand Lords in the monster team died, everyone's experience points were also increasing rapidly.

This made the originally lifeless experience bars of the crowd come alive, with each increase being a small rise visible to the naked eye. After only grinding for five or six hours, the level 55 elite members of the Zero Wing Guild had all uniformly reached level 56. The other level 56 guild elites were also not far from level 57, and would be able to level up in another four or five hours at most. The speed of leveling up was four or five times faster than that of experts outside.

However, compared to the overall level increase of the team, the gains were even more astonishing.
