Tianyun Lao Mao
Chapter 993 Soaring Life Force
"Is this the person Yanqiu saw?" Fallen Wind was shocked.
As a Level 40 Guardian Knight and the team's main tank, always standing at the forefront, he was acutely aware of the power of these Undead Zealots.
Any member of their team could handle a single Undead Zealot.
Although the Undead Zealots were powerful, surpassing even Yanqiu, their Level 40 Berserker, in strength, their attack and reaction speeds weren't fast. With enough space, an MT could slowly wear down an Undead Zealot.
However, thousands upon thousands of Undead Zealots were terrifying. They surrounded them completely, leaving no room to dodge. They could only withstand the attacks head-on. Moreover, the Undead Zealots had 200,000 HP, which was considerably high for undead creatures. Coupled with their high magic resistance, even if someone in the team used AoE magic, it would only deal a couple thousand points of damage. After a few waves, they wouldn't have depleted much of the Undead Zealots' HP.
A team wipe was only a matter of time.
But Shi Feng merely swung his sword forward, and nearly a thousand Undead Zealots turned to ashes and vanished…
Not only was Fallen Wind deeply shocked, but the entire team was dumbfounded.
"Yanqiu, how did you get to know this monster?" a beautiful Level 39 Enchantress asked quietly.
"I met him when I was doing quests with Qingxuan. Back then, I thought guild experts were just hothouse flowers, just like you guys." Yanqiu felt ashamed when he remembered that he had the same thought as the members of Wind God's Spear.
Si Yu Qingxuan and Qingzhu, hearing their conversation, suddenly felt a little smug, replacing their previous anger.
"I told you, Big Brother Nightsea is very powerful. Back then, Big Brother Nightsea took just the two of us and easily killed a Level 50 Field Grand Lord. Dealing with these Level 50 Elite monsters is naturally no problem," Qingzhu said proudly, puffing out her ample chest.
Although the two Direct Guards were the main force in dealing with the Level 50 Field Grand Lord, Qingzhu saw the guards as part of Shi Feng's strength. No one else had the ability to recruit such powerful Direct Guards.
"What? You're saying he can take two magic-type classes and solo a Level 50 Field Grand Lord?"
"That's impossible. Wind God's Spear assembled a hundred-man team and used many rare items before finally managing to kill a Level 40 Field Grand Lord."
The members of Wind God's Spear were shocked by the information revealed in Qingzhu's words. This was far more impressive than killing a group of Undead Zealots.
They had killed countless monsters since entering God's Domain and knew very well how terrifying a Level 50 Field Grand Lord was. It was simply not a Boss that current players could contend with.
Level 50 was a watershed. Players could begin their Tier 2 promotion, greatly increasing their stats, and their skills were no longer Tier 1 but powerful Tier 2 skills, which greatly increased their combat power. Therefore, Level 50 monsters were much stronger than Level 49 monsters.
This was also why Yanqiu, a Berserker, had less strength than the Level 50 Undead Zealots.
Instantly, everyone looked at Shi Feng with a hint of awe.
As for Dao Yifan, who had previously looked down on Shi Feng, saw Si Yu Qingxuan constantly looking at Shi Feng and felt deeply jealous.
"Just wait, I will surpass you!" Dao Yifan secretly vowed.
He had only been in God's Domain for a short time, and his strength was still rapidly increasing. Moreover, he had recently become an apprentice of a martial arts master in the real world and was considered a martial arts genius by the master. He believed that there was no difference between virtual reality games like God's Domain and real combat, and he didn't believe that he couldn't surpass Shi Feng in the future.
"We can't keep defending. I'll open a path. Melee classes, provide cover from the side. Magic classes, follow me," Shi Feng said quickly, glancing at the Undead Zealots that were still emerging from both sides of the passage in the distance. "Magic classes, don't attack anymore. Try to use slowing and confinement skills."
As soon as Shi Feng finished speaking, he used Flame Spirit Storm on the front again.
Instantly, a raging fire swept through everything. Even though the Undead Zealots had high magic resistance, Shi Feng held the Holy Sword, Thunder, which doubled the damage dealt to dark creatures. No Undead Zealot within the range of the flames survived.
Although he killed many monsters, unfortunately, in the Trial of the Gods, all monsters do not give players any experience points, nor do they drop anything. At most, they only increase the players' skill proficiency. Generally, only completing the stage-based levels can reward you.
But there was one benefit for Shi Feng.
Previously, after Shi Feng used Thousand Edge Stream to kill a large number of Undead Zealots, the Icarus's Heart also absorbed a lot of life force.
After evolving through the Holy Grail, Icarus's Heart didn't need to absorb Bosses to upgrade to the Epic rank. It only needed to absorb life force by killing players, but the quantity was a bit high, requiring a full five thousand points of life force.
Although Shi Feng had killed many players after obtaining Icarus's Heart, he had also used Icarus's Heart many times, especially when opening treasure chests and killing Bosses, where he would sacrifice 100 points of life force to increase his luck value. He had almost used up all his life force, so Icarus's Heart had never been upgraded to the Epic rank.
But now, for every two or three Undead Zealots he killed, the life force of Icarus's Heart would increase by one point.
After these two waves, Shi Feng directly obtained more than eight hundred points of life force, leaving him only four thousand points of life force away from advancing to the Epic rank. This rate of increase was much faster than killing players.
He saw Shi Feng constantly wielding his dual swords, activating Sword's Orbit with Sword Returning to Heaven and Thunder God's Descent, and quickly charging forward.
The Undead Zealots, who had a strength advantage over the team, had no advantage in front of Shi Feng.
In terms of pure strength, Shi Feng, who possessed a fragment of a Legendary item and equipped several Epic-rank weapons and equipment, could send an Undead Zealot flying with just one sword. Not to mention that Shi Feng's speed was extremely fast, so he didn't need to confront them head-on. He could directly strike at the Undead Zealots' weak points.
Faced with the endless stream of Undead Zealots, Shi Feng was like a meat grinder, frantically devouring the charging Undead Zealots. There was no room for Undead Zealots within a radius of fifteen yards. As long as they stepped into this domain, their HP would drop at a visible rate.
In an instant, 200,000 HP would vanish into thin air, turning into a wisp of life force that flowed into Icarus's Heart on Shi Feng's neck.
And the life force of Icarus's Heart was steadily rising, and soon it broke through one thousand points.
"Yanqiu, is he really a player?"
The members of Wind God's Spear, closely following behind Shi Feng, couldn't help but swallow their saliva, unable to believe that this was real.
