Tianyun Lao Mao
Chapter 690 Surging Experience Points
"The peak of the world is indeed a good place. No wonder all those experts from later generations went to great lengths to come here," Shi Feng muttered to himself, feeling deeply moved as he sorted through the loot.
Among the drops were dozens of Level 50 equipment, including two Mysterious-Iron rank and sixteen Bronze rank.
After monsters reached Level 50, even Elite monsters rarely dropped Bronze equipment. Only Leader-rank monsters would always drop Bronze equipment and had a chance of dropping Mysterious-Iron equipment. This made it difficult for players to obtain high-quality Level 50 equipment.
Because the Level 50 small dungeon Bosses were only Leader-rank, and only Hell-rank dungeons had Lords. But how many player teams could clear a Hell-rank dungeon?
Moreover, the item drop rate of Bosses after Level 50 decreased sharply. Originally, they could drop six or seven items, but after reaching Level 50, dropping two items was already good. They certainly wouldn't be as generous as they were now.
Shi Feng faintly remembered how he had desperately rushed to Level 50 back then.
But what about Level 50 equipment?
After spending a lot of effort, he only managed to get a set of Mysterious-Iron equipment. At Level 45, this kind of equipment was just average for old players. Even so, it made Hei Zi drool with envy, wishing he had such a set of equipment to show off to his teammates when going to dungeons.
Back then, having a few pieces of Level 50 Mysterious-Iron equipment was considered high-end in a twenty-man team dungeon, let alone a full set of Mysterious-Iron equipment, because clearing a twenty-man Hard-mode team dungeon wouldn't drop many pieces of Mysterious-Iron equipment in total.
But precisely because of this, the status of blacksmiths began to rise.
Perhaps it was difficult for blacksmiths to create top-grade equipment, but they had a good chance of creating Level 50 and above Bronze and Mysterious-Iron weapons and equipment. The only problem was that the key materials were not easy to obtain.
Now, killing a wave of Stone Apes could yield so much Level 50 Bronze and Mysterious-Iron equipment. It was simply unimaginable.
After cleaning up, Shi Feng continued to explore the core area, using the Stone Ape patrol teams to level up and farm equipment.
Mount Sogar had not yet been explored, so there were many Stone Ape patrol teams. He could encounter them in no time at all, making it a great place for Shi Feng to level up.
The Purgatory Devil crushed the Stone Ape patrol teams.
In less than three hours, Shi Feng easily reached Level 33 and 74%, making him one of the top twenty players on the Star-Moon Kingdom's level ranking list.
While the major guilds were suppressing their levels to secure the first clear of the Level 30 hundred-man dungeon, some very powerful independent experts or studio experts did not suppress their levels. Instead, they took the opportunity to build fame and earn prestige, constantly and frantically leveling up. Therefore, the levels on the ranking list were very high. The top three on the Star-Moon Kingdom's level ranking list had all reached Level 34.
And those ranked in the top twenty on the Star-Moon Kingdom's level ranking list were all above Level 33.
If Shi Feng hadn't been furiously farming Mount Sogar with the Purgatory Devil, it would have been quite difficult to catch up to the top twenty in the Star-Moon Kingdom.
Mount Sogar was very large, about three times the size of an ordinary leveling map. So, finding the exact location of Solomon's Treasure was time-consuming, and there were many powerful monsters along the way.
To improve his exploration efficiency, Shi Feng used the Book of Darkness and a Magic Amplification Scroll to summon a Level 51 Tier 3 Curse Devil. Although there was backlash, it was immediately stopped by the Purgatory Devil controlled by Shi Feng, and then became a puppet devil.
The Curse Devil didn't have Tier 3 Forbidden Skills, and its HP was only 9.5 million, but it was a magic-type devil, and its AoE ability was stronger than that of the Purgatory Devil.
With two Tier 3 devils, Shi Feng's exploration efficiency immediately doubled. Even dealing with two or three waves of Stone Ape patrol teams at once was no problem, and he didn't have to waste too much time killing monsters and dodging.
Stoneclaw Mountains, inner region.
"Cola, be careful of that Orc Leader's skills. Pull it further away. Focus all your fire on the leader on Banjiu's side first," Fire Dance commanded the others while attacking two Level 40 Orc Leaders.
The Stoneclaw Mountains could be said to be overcrowded. The main force of Zero Wing had to stay away from the crowds and go deep into the Stoneclaw Mountains to obtain more resources.
In the outer region, encountering a Leader monster was a matter of luck. But in the inner region, Leader monsters became more common. They often had to deal with two at a time, which put a lot of pressure on the team. Therefore, the teams of the major guilds would not level up or farm monsters here.
But this was just right for Zero Wing's main force.
The main MT, Cola, had a set of Tier 1 equipment and the Azure Flame Holy Shield, so there was absolutely no problem in fighting a Level 40 Leader monster. Banjiu had just obtained the Epic-rank Frost Saint Armor, and could also withstand a Leader monster alone. In addition, there was Ye Wumian, who was wearing a Tier 1 Shield Warrior set, who could replace him.
With no problem with the MTs, there was no need to mention the DPS. Whether it was Fire Dance, Blade of Wind, Sword Shadow, North Wind's Serenity, or Violet Cloud, they all had super-strong attack power and could ignore monsters that were more than ten levels higher. Without level suppression, the Level 40 Leader monsters didn't affect their output at all.
They could more than handle two Level 40 Leaders at the same time.
After Zero Wing's main force stopped suppressing their levels, their current levels were all at Level 32. The reason why they leveled up so quickly was not only because their original levels were above 30 and 90%, but also because they were constantly farming monsters in the Stoneclaw Mountains. Most of the credit went to the private rooms in the Guild Residence. Even when they were offline, they could store double experience points. The accumulated experience had long exceeded one level, so they leveled up to Level 32 very quickly.
In less than twenty minutes, all the Orcs were cleared, which greatly increased everyone's experience points.
"Fire Dance, our guild members in the Stoneclaw Mountains have been attacked. You guys should be careful of ambushes," Aqua Rose suddenly contacted her.
"Attacking our guild members in the Stoneclaw Mountains?" Fire Dance was slightly surprised. "Which guild is it?"
Stone Forest Town was Zero Wing's territory. Anyone who dared to deal with Zero Wing's guild members in the Stoneclaw Mountains didn't want to stay in Stone Forest Town anymore, right?
"It shouldn't be done by a guild. The attacked members all said that they were not wearing guild emblems. Looking at the recorded videos, they are not experts from the major guilds either. But they have a lot of people. Each action involves at least a dozen people, and at most a fifty-man team. I've also investigated that team. It's not a guild, but a studio." Aqua Rose was also very surprised when she received this news. Players who were active in the Stoneclaw Mountains should know Zero Wing's reputation, but there were still people who dared to attack them. "In short, be careful there. I will also find out what's going on as soon as possible."
If it was really done by that guild, she would definitely make that guild unable to gain a foothold in the Stoneclaw Mountains.
"Okay, I'll pay attention here," Fire Dance nodded.
No one else would come to the inner region, after all, the danger here was much higher than in the outer region, and ordinary player teams could not set foot here.
But as soon as Fire Dance hung up, North Wind's Serenity hurriedly said in the team chat, "Someone is approaching us, a lot of them!"
