Tianyun Lao Mao
Chapter 2635 Leisurely Stroll?
As the Zero Wing members charged straight towards the closest group of Trial Warriors and Trial Elites in the wide tunnel, the members of Violet Sword and Azure Chamber of Commerce were stunned, unsure of what to say.
These were over a thousand monsters, all at least Level 120 Great Lords. To rush in without discussing positioning or meticulously arranging personnel was unheard of, and yet, everyone in Zero Wing followed the command…
“This is utter madness!” Furious Flame shouted anxiously, watching Shi Feng completely disregard their opinions. “There are over a thousand monsters! Even with Mana Body unlocked, which can withstand some attacks, it’s not something Refinement Realm experts can casually dodge. If we get wiped out, we’ll never make the deadline…”
He admitted that Zero Wing’s members were high-leveled and had unlocked Mana Body, giving them an advantage over Violet Sword’s top experts in dealing with monsters.
However, the trials within this tunnel clearly emphasized player skill, with level and Mana Body being secondary.
The five-day time limit was already tight. Dying once would waste an entire day, and their current strength didn't allow for such extravagance.
“There’s no choice, we have to tough it out.” Silent Star sighed, watching the Zero Wing members approach the monster group. “I’ll deploy a magic array in a moment. Everyone else, focus on attacking the Trial Elites. Reducing the number of piercing attacks from the Trial Elites will make it easier to withstand the Trial Warriors.”
Azure Chamber of Commerce's Sin Flame and the others nodded in agreement, leading their teams towards the Trial Elites in the monster group, planning to eliminate them as soon as the battle started to reduce pressure and deaths for Zero Wing.
As the Zero Wing members entered the Trial Monsters’ attack range, the Trial Warriors and Elites acted like seasoned veterans.
Over four hundred Trial Warriors formed a phalanx in the front, their massive steel shields slamming into the ground, creating an impenetrable barrier. This formation completely enveloped the thousand-plus Trial Monsters behind them, making it difficult for players to break through. Within the phalanx, other Trial Monsters formed rows, drawing their bows and launching volleys of arrows at the Zero Wing members…
Everyone was stunned by the Trial Monsters’ organization.
Monsters that attacked in groups weren't uncommon in God's Domain, but monsters this well-trained, with coordination rivaling NPCs, were unprecedented.
Wave after wave of arrows rained down on the Zero Wing members. Each volley contained over a thousand arrows, with very short intervals between each wave. The arrows were arranged in a staggered pattern, making it impossible for players to block multiple arrows at once.
“We’re done for! Even top experts will struggle to block and dodge these arrows. At Zero Wing’s Refinement Realm level, they’ll be wiped out in a few volleys,” Furious Flame exclaimed, his expression changing drastically as he watched the arrows fall.
Forget Zero Wing, even a group of top experts wouldn't survive long under this barrage.
Although the arrow attacks were simple, they were fast. With enough arrows and a slight delay between each shot, even Domain Realm experts would be overwhelmed. Players could only react so quickly; exceeding that limit was impossible, even for Domain Realm experts.
The arrows weren't overwhelmingly powerful, but still beyond what top experts could endure.
The barrage forced players to face at least ten arrows simultaneously, sometimes up to twenty. Even with some attacks reduced, the number still exceeded the limits of Tier 3 top experts. The arrow speed made precise prediction difficult, and Vacuum Realm experts were prone to misjudgment.
As the thousand arrows approached, a voice echoed in the team chat.
“Vice Commander Silent Star, deploy the defensive magic!” Shi Feng calmly commanded, watching the arrows descend.
“Understood!”
Silent Star quickly responded, waving his staff to unleash the prepared magic array.
A silver barrier bloomed around Zero Wing, instantly enveloping all its members within a radius of over two hundred yards.
Tier 3 Forbidden Spell: Flying Defense!
The spell, which had a chance to nullify flying projectiles within its area of effect, proved effective against the arrows, instantly reducing their number by over twenty percent, bringing the total down to less than nine hundred.
Despite this, the members of Violet Sword and Azure Chamber of Commerce remained grim.
Even with the reduced numbers, the attack still exceeded the limits of top experts, let alone Refinement Realm players.
Just as everyone shook their heads, the Zero Wing members moved through the rain of arrows as if they knew the trajectory of each one. They weaved and blocked with ease, as if dancing in the rain.
Not a single Zero Wing member was hit. The few who lost more than a quarter of their HP were those who had blocked piercing arrows from the Trial Elites, the impact easily healed by Zero Wing's healers…
“How is this possible!” Floating Light exclaimed, his eyes wide with disbelief.
Even blocking and dodging that barrage was difficult for him, yet the Zero Wing members were strolling through it as if it were a garden. How could he believe it?
Aside from Floating Light, even Lone寒 and Yuan Xiaoqian, who had spent a few days with Zero Wing, were speechless.
Attacks that top experts struggled with were being effortlessly dodged and blocked by Refinement Realm experts. Who would believe it?
“How can they block and dodge those attacks so easily? How do they train?” Yuan Xiaoqian wondered, looking at the Zero Wing Refinement Realm experts.
What Yuan Xiaoqian and the others didn't know was that the Zero Wing core members were used to such attacks. The training in the Tower of Transcendence's first floor was far more rigorous. In fact, even without Silent Star’s support, they were confident they could block and dodge the Trial Monsters' arrow attacks.
“Alright! Aggro is stable, everyone attack!” After a few volleys of arrows, Shi Feng commanded in the team chat, seeing that the Trial Monsters' attention was focused on them.
The members of Violet Sword and Azure Chamber of Commerce snapped out of their daze and joined Zero Wing in attacking the Trial Monsters.
With Zero Wing drawing the aggro, the others faced little resistance, allowing them to focus on dealing damage and causing the Trial Monsters to fall rapidly.
With each Trial Monster defeated, the players discovered that the experience gained was unusually high, almost two or three times the normal amount. The leveling speed was two or three times faster than outside, causing the members of Violet Sword and Azure Chamber of Commerce to rejoice.
The only downside was that the Trial Monsters didn't drop any loot, which disappointed everyone.
After grinding the Trial Monsters for half a day, a Trial Elite suddenly burst into flames upon death. The flames coalesced into a crystal-clear, incomplete stone tablet that floated in mid-air, radiating an astonishing wave of mana that caused many Tier 3 experts to involuntarily take a step back.
“An Ancient Inheritance Stone Tablet?!”
Shi Feng's eyes widened as he looked at the incomplete tablet, almost unable to believe it was real.
