Tianyun Lao Mao
Chapter 714 Engineering Props
The bottom of Dragon's Maw was extremely dark. Coupled with the sudden appearance of over a dozen black shadows, Shi Feng didn't have time to control the Tier 3 Demon to defend.
Seeing three fist-sized black shadows flashing towards him, Shi Feng immediately switched the Seven Luminaries Ring from the Wind Ring to the Earth Ring, activating Absolute Defense.
Instantly, a pale yellow stream of light appeared around Shi Feng, and the black shadows collided with the light, creating violent tremors.
The power was so strong that even Shi Feng, with Absolute Defense activated, was knocked back more than ten yards.
With each impact, Shi Feng was able to clearly see the true faces of these black shadows.
Quartz Worm, Special Elite, Level 60, HP 420,000.
These Quartz Worms were entirely composed of black quartz stone. Combined with their small size and high speed, they were difficult to detect in dark places. They didn't have much HP, but their attack power was terrifying. Moreover, these Quartz Worms were very intelligent, directly abandoning the Tier 3 Demon puppet and attacking Shi Feng, the controller.
Being hit by so many Quartz Worms would mean instant death for a Tier 2 player.
However, Shi Feng had Absolute Defense. Even if these Quartz Worms were Level 60 Special Elites, they couldn't break through the Earth Ring's Absolute Defense.
But more and more Quartz Worms emerged.
In the blink of an eye, fifty or sixty Quartz Worms appeared around Shi Feng, their tiny eyes flashing with bright red light, densely packed, making one's spine tingle just looking at them.
These Quartz Worms didn't give Shi Feng any chance to escape, directly surrounding him and launching a frantic attack.
Dozens of fierce impacts could be heard every second, as if someone was firing wildly with a machine gun. Shi Feng had no chance to fight back.
Once the duration of Absolute Defense expired, Shi Feng would be doomed.
"Just these Quartz Worms alone could kill a batch of players," Shi Feng thought to himself, secretly glad that he had the Absolute Defense skill. Otherwise, even if he reached Level 50 and became a Tier 2 class, he would still be dead.
Seeing the duration of Absolute Defense counting down, with less than two seconds left, the Tier 3 Demon in the distance finished chanting and cast the Tier 3 magic Annihilation Storm at Shi Feng's location.
Annihilation Storm was one of the Tier 3 large-scale destruction spells, covering a range of 50 yards, easily encompassing Shi Feng and all the Quartz Worms.
Instantly, a huge tornado descended from the huge blue magic array floating in the air.
Both Shi Feng and the Quartz Worms were sucked into the tornado, and countless wind blades began to shred them from all directions.
The HP of the Quartz Worms visibly decreased, while Shi Feng was swept into the sky.
Seeing that the duration of Absolute Defense was about to expire, Shi Feng immediately stopped the Tier 3 Demon's spellcasting.
The tornado suddenly stopped.
Suspended hundreds of meters in the air, all the Quartz Worms had been shredded until only a sliver of health remained. Some had only ten or twenty thousand HP left, while others had thirty or fifty thousand. If Shi Feng hadn't suddenly stopped casting, these Quartz Worms would never have survived.
However, Shi Feng had no choice but to stop casting, or he would have died as well.
Suspended in mid-air, monsters and players without the ability to fly were unable to move and fell according to gravity.
Shi Feng activated Gravity Liberation, drastically reducing his falling speed to less than one-tenth of the normal rate. At the same time, he controlled the Tier 3 Demon to use the Tier 3 skill Gale on the area below.
Gale was not a large-scale destruction spell, but it was an area spell, dealing magic damage to a cone-shaped area 20 yards in front.
The Tier 3 magic Annihilation Storm swept all targets in the area into the air and gathered them in one place, so the 20-yard cone-shaped range could easily cover all the falling area. Because of the different falling times, the Quartz Worms had already landed when Shi Feng was still floating in the air.
Instantly, countless fire blades flew from the Tier 3 Demon's hands, engulfing all the Quartz Worms that had just landed.

…
The screen was filled with damage numbers exceeding 100,000, which the Quartz Worms with their remaining HP couldn't withstand.
Only after the Tier 3 magic Gale ended did Shi Feng slowly land on the ground. The ground was covered with the corpses of Quartz Worms, and items were scattered all over the place. Shi Feng's experience points increased rapidly.
The Quartz Worms were Level 60 Special Elites, so although the rewarded experience points were not as much as normal Level 60 Special Elites, they were still more than Level 60 Elites.
Moreover, Shi Feng's level was only 35, and the experience reward for fighting monsters 25 levels higher was very astonishing. However, God's Domain did not infinitely increase the experience reward for fighting higher-level monsters. At most, it could only exceed 20 levels, increasing the experience gained by up to 20 times, after which it would not increase further.
However, 20 times was still an extremely exaggerated amount of experience for Shi Feng at the moment.
This time, Shi Feng, who had just reached Level 35 9%, directly increased to Level 35 98%, only 2% away from reaching Level 36. This level would definitely be the first on Star-Moon Kingdom's level ranking.
Because the number one person on the Star-Moon Kingdom's level ranking was only approaching Level 35 and still needed at least half a day to reach Level 35.
"Using this method to level up is not bad," Shi Feng said with a smile, looking at the experience points he had gained.
Unfortunately, Special Elites were not like cabbages on the street. Even in Asura-level regional dungeons like Stoneclaw Mountains, so many would not appear at once. Only eight or nine would appear out of a hundred elites, so it was almost impossible to find a batch of Special Elites to farm for fun.
Moreover, the Tier 3 Demon's Tier 3 skill Annihilation Storm had a long cooldown time of 70 minutes. At most, it could be used four times in five hours. As for the other Tier 3 skills, they couldn't achieve the skill combination's instant kill effect.
The most important thing was that it was very difficult to find so many Quartz Worms again.
After Shi Feng cleared out the area, there was no movement around, only the corpses of Quartz Worms lying on the ground.
The Quartz Worms didn't give much experience, but their drops were good. Moreover, Shi Feng had the Icarus's Heart, which increased luck. Among the sixty or so Quartz Worms, many Level 50+ Bronze and Mysterious-Iron equipment dropped, as well as an Engineering Design.
"Dazzling Bomb?" Shi Feng was overjoyed.
Engineering could create many interesting things, but very few could truly be useful to players in combat.
Like the Ice Grenade, which not only dealt damage but also had a control effect, such items could only be crafted by Engineering Masters, and the designs were very difficult to obtain. Buying them normally was extremely expensive, and ordinary players couldn't afford them.
The Dazzling Bomb was not as advanced as the Ice Grenade and didn't deal any damage, but it was simple to make, and the materials were not rare, making it one of the items players often used in wilderness battles.
Because the Dazzling Bomb could temporarily blind the surrounding creatures, the effect on players was halved.
After Shi Feng finished sorting out the drops and was about to leave,
The gray stones on the surface of the statues that were originally standing on the ground began to disappear, revealing the original appearance of these statues.
Each of these statues, which had regained their true appearance, exuded a terrifying pressure, bringing great pressure to Shi Feng and making him want to retreat.
But these petrified statues had already noticed Shi Feng's existence.
