Chapter 1960 The Fifth Floor

The Icefire Twin-headed Earth Dragon crashed to the ground with a deafening roar, shaking the entire area and nearly causing the fifty or so survivors to fall.

At that moment, both the Zero Wing members and the various super forces watching from outside the lava barrier fell silent, their eyes fixed on Shi Feng, who stood before the Icefire Twin-headed Earth Dragon.

Shi Feng's armor was stained with the dragon's blood, and had multiple points of damage. He looked exhausted, yet he exuded an indescribable aura of greatness, like a mythical dragon-slaying hero.

"It's dead! The Icefire Twin-headed Earth Dragon has really been killed by Zero Wing!"

"Are you kidding me? They took down the Icefire Twin-headed Earth Dragon?"

Everyone stared at the Icefire Twin-headed Earth Dragon lying on the ground, finding it hard to believe.

Their various super forces had been helpless against the Icefire Twin-headed Earth Dragon, needing to join forces to even contend with it. But now, Zero Wing, a team with overall strength far inferior to theirs, had accomplished it.

Then, the system notification sounded in everyone's ears.

System: Congratulations to the Zero Wing team for the first kill of the Icefire Twin-headed Earth Dragon, rewarding three fifth-floor teleportation stones and 10 points of human race reputation.

Although people were reluctant to believe it, the system notification ringing in their ears made it impossible to deny the reality.

"Is this why Feng Qianyu has always favored Zero Wing?" Yuan Tiexin wondered, gazing at Shi Feng's back.

"Zero Wing, huh?" Duan Qingcheng of Wangzhe Guilai also began to scrutinize the guild. "They're even more impressive than the rumors suggest. It seems we need to have our people pay closer attention."

Instantly, the various super forces' attitudes toward Zero Wing underwent a corresponding change. They no longer regarded it as an insignificant small force, but as a rival.

Shi Feng, however, felt nothing of this. He simply looked quietly at the various items that had dropped before him.

Normally, a High Lord ranked Archaic Species would drop dozens of items, which was already remarkable. But the Icefire Twin-headed Earth Dragon dropped a full hundred items. The sheer quantity was beyond imagination.

This made the surrounding super forces extremely envious, to the point where they wanted to rush forward and snatch them.

Such a powerful Archaic Species, and a first kill at that, would undoubtedly yield rich rewards, allowing the team's strength to rise to another level.

Unfortunately, they were blocked by the lava barrier, leaving them no chance. They could only watch helplessly as Shi Feng picked up item after item, utterly helpless.

Next to the Icefire Twin-headed Earth Dragon, Shi Feng didn't hesitate to frantically stuff all the dropped items into his backpack, while also having the healers revive the fallen members. Although the lava barrier was still blocking them for now, it seemed to be weakening after the Icefire Twin-headed Earth Dragon died. It would be lucky if it could hold for a few more minutes.

This was the Ancient God's Remains. Even if you killed a Boss, the dropped items weren't safe until you had them secured. If a player was killed within two hours, the dropped items would all be released. And in the Ancient God's Remains, player killing was not prohibited.

With so many super forces surrounding them, their numbers far exceeded theirs, and they weren't ordinary experts either. If they really attacked together, it would be easy to wipe out Zero Wing. They needed to leave here as soon as possible before the lava barrier disappeared.

The Zero Wing members quickly reacted and began reviving everyone.

Sure enough, in less than four minutes, the lava barrier disappeared. Just as the super forces were about to make a move to snatch the loot, Shi Feng directly used the five teleportation stones that had dropped and the three teleportation stones from the system reward. Instantly, the eight hundred Zero Wing members who had barely been revived turned into streaks of white light, shooting into the massive stone gate and disappearing.

"They really run fast!" Huang Hai said, a hint of displeasure in his voice as he watched the Zero Wing members disappear.

Such a large treasure was gone just like that…

If not for the lava barrier, even if Zero Wing had killed the Icefire Twin-headed Earth Dragon, it was questionable whether they would have been able to take the dropped items.

"As expected of Zero Wing, their reaction is really quick," Yuan Tiexin said with a smile.

Even if Zero Wing had demonstrated remarkable combat power and potential, when it came to treasures that could enhance player strength, everyone was the same. They would definitely take action without hesitation.

"Uncle Yuan, what do we do now? The Boss has been killed, making it difficult for us to enter the fifth floor," Zi Qiong said, looking at the now empty teleportation area with a headache.

Although there were many monsters on the fourth floor, the only monster that dropped teleportation stones to the fifth floor was the Icefire Twin-headed Earth Dragon. Without the Icefire Twin-headed Earth Dragon, they couldn't enter the fifth floor at all.

"Don't worry. After all, it's a Boss guarding the area and dropping teleportation stones. It shouldn't take too long to respawn. It's just that if we kill the Icefire Twin-headed Earth Dragon later, the dropped items will be much fewer than the first kill," Yuan Tiexin said, looking at the Zero Wing members entering the massive stone gate with a hint of envy.

The news of Zero Wing's first kill on the fourth floor also spread quickly, soon reaching outside the Ancient God's Remains and causing a sensation among various forces.

No one had expected that the first guild to step into the fifth floor wouldn't be those super guilds and first-rate guilds, but Zero Wing, which had only recently risen. Suddenly, many guilds and adventurer teams wanted to cooperate with Zero Wing.

They might not be able to enter the fifth floor of the Ancient God's Remains on their own, but they could buy slots to enter from Zero Wing or purchase various combat techniques from them.

That would definitely be impossible with super forces, but Zero Wing was different. Zero Wing's foundation was weak. Whether it was the number of guild members or background resources, they weren't much. Moreover, the guild's development would definitely require a lot of funds and resources, which they could provide. That was the basis for cooperation.

Meanwhile, on the fifth floor of the Ancient God's Remains, a silent lake forest, Shi Feng and the others appeared next to the lake.

"Is this the fifth floor?" Everyone curiously looked around.

Unlike the previous floors, they didn't feel any sense of danger here. Instead, they felt an indescribable sense of peace and comfort.

"Everyone, rest for a bit first, then we'll look for the passage to the Ancient City," Shi Feng ordered, looking at the members who had just been revived and were in poor condition.

The Ancient God's Remains had a watershed every five floors. The first four floors tested players, while the fifth floor was a place specifically for resting, allowing players to catch their breath.

Not only was the mana on the fifth floor very dense, but even if players moved around, their stamina and concentration would recover quickly. The effect was no worse than staying at an inn in the city.

In the previous life, some guilds had even established temporary small towns in each rest area of the Ancient God's Remains, providing safety guarantees for players to conduct various transactions or purchase various supplies, in preparation for the subsequent strategies. However, the prices of these items were terribly high.

But there was no other way. If players left the Ancient God's Remains and re-entered, they would not only have to start from the first floor, but also wait for a day. Whether they could even enter at that time was another matter.

To replenish supplies in the Ancient God's Remains, that was the only way. So, in the previous life, the guilds that established temporary small towns in the rest areas earned quite a bit of revenue every day. The higher the level of the rest area, the more expensive the supplies and the more they earned. But only those super forces had the ability to do so. Ordinary large guilds only earned money at the level of the fifth floor.

However, Shi Feng didn't have that plan now. Prioritizing finding the passage to the Ancient City was the most important thing.

Just as everyone sat down to rest, Shi Feng also opened his spatial backpack and began to carefully examine the items dropped by the Icefire Twin-headed Earth Dragon.

Earlier, time was too tight, and he didn't have time to identify them. Now that the Icefire Twin-headed Earth Dragon was dead, even if other guilds wanted to enter the fifth floor, they would have to wait until the Icefire Twin-headed Earth Dragon respawned again.

ps: The fourth update may be a little late.
