Chapter 1422 Element Core

In the silent, ancient hall stood rows of stone pillars, with Elemental Guardians of Level 70 and above patrolling the center, preventing players from approaching. The closer one got to the magic crystal pillars in the center, the closer the Elemental Guardians were to each other.

As soon as Shi Feng logged in, he continued to clear out these Elemental Guardians.

The sudden transaction by Blackwater and the rapid development of Zero Wing had made Shi Feng realize that Zero Wing Guild had reached a bottleneck, making it very difficult to advance further.

Although he had been laying the foundation for Zero Wing, even the conditions for recruiting players were very strict, Zero Wing’s growing fame, territory, and membership had reached the limit it could currently bear.

Even Blackwater Guild, as an outsider, could see this clearly, and it was conceivable that other guilds were also well aware of it.

Generally speaking, after a guild reaches a bottleneck in its development, it seeks investment from other large enterprises and conglomerates to inject a large amount of capital, allowing its rapid development to continue.

The Shadow Guild in his previous life was like this. Rapid development led to a serious shortage of funds. Later, with the introduction of large sums of money from several large enterprises, it was able to continue its development and become a second-rate guild at the time.

This method was also the choice made by most emerging guilds, but the result was that the guild's shares were divided, its power decentralized, and its cohesion greatly reduced.

Of course, there was another option: to maintain the guild's status quo, or even reduce its membership, and slow down its development. If it were normal times, it wouldn't matter, it would just be surpassed by other developing guilds. But now, with the auction competition system open, the competition between forces had reached its maximum, a do-or-die situation. If surpassed, they would face the possibility of being eliminated.

Doing so now was tantamount to a slow death for the guild.

So, if they didn't want the guild's power and equity to be decentralized, and they wanted Zero Wing to continue to develop at a super-high speed, then there was only one path to take.

That was to earn a lot of money through God's Domain!

In his previous life, Shi Feng did not have such ability and means. After all, the resources in God's Domain were hard-won. If they were exchanged for Credits, it would be killing the goose that laid the golden eggs.

But now it was different, especially after entering the Ancient God’s Maze, which made Shi Feng feel that the idea of earning a lot of money through God's Domain was not impossible.

That was the Element Core!

The Element Core could not only be synthesized into Element Crystals, but it could also be used to exchange for Stamina Gems with the four-star traveling merchant in the Illusionary Sea.

Stamina was very important to any player, largely limiting a player's ability to operate in the wild, so anything related to Stamina was very valuable in God's Domain.

And Stamina Gems, when inlaid on a player's equipment, could increase the player's Stamina recovery rate. One gem could increase Stamina recovery by 7%. The more Stamina Gems inlaid, the faster the Stamina recovery. Unlike Stamina Potions, which only lasted for a while.

It could be said that it was the most non-depreciating item in the entire God's Domain, because no matter what level a player reached, Stamina recovery was always needed and would not be eliminated.

And Stamina Gems were not obtained by simply dropping them. They had to be exchanged from a four-star or higher traveling merchant. The items needed for the exchange varied depending on the traveling merchant. The four-star traveling merchant in the Illusionary Sea in the God's Domain Secret Realm exchanged them for Element Cores.

In his previous life, several players had discovered this secret and made a fortune by acquiring Element Cores in God's Domain and exchanging them for Stamina Gems in the Illusionary Sea, which they then resold to players. Later, other players discovered this, causing the value of Element Cores to skyrocket.

Although the value of Element Cores themselves was already very high, because they were very difficult to obtain. They were not usually sold in the auction house, and were also strategic materials for major guilds to convert into Element Crystals.

Now he could get a large number of Element Cores by killing Elemental Guardians, which he could use to make a fortune with Stamina Gems. After all, no one had yet gone to the Level 100 Illusionary Sea, and Stamina Gems were needed by most players, especially expert players, who would definitely buy two or three at all costs, permanently giving them 14% to 21% more Stamina recovery speed than other players, greatly increasing their ability to operate in the wild.

With this in mind, Shi Feng frantically farmed Elemental Guardians, and also used God's Blessing. After all, it took seven or eight minutes to kill an Elemental Guardian. With God's Blessing, the number of Element Cores that dropped might increase by one or two.

Although killing these Elemental Guardians was monotonous, it was also a good opportunity for Shi Feng to hone his combat skills.

High-mana environments were very rare in God's Domain, not to mention environments with higher mana than Zero Wing City. Here, even Bronze-grade combat techniques could recover quickly, without worrying about Stamina and Concentration not keeping up.

Constantly using the Bronze-grade combat technique Sword Light Reincarnation, he became more and more skilled in its use, and the number of attacks he could deal with simultaneously also increased.

Originally, he could only cope with three attacks, but gradually it became four, then five, and the power he exerted also clearly improved greatly.

Finally, after spending nearly two days, he killed all the Elemental Guardians in the hall.

The closer he got to the magic crystal pillars in the center, the shorter the intervals between the Elemental Guardians became. If he was not careful, he would attract two, which greatly reduced the speed of killing Elemental Guardians.

He had to dodge the attacks of the two Elemental Guardians while launching attacks, which instantly greatly reduced his efficiency, taking almost twenty minutes to kill the first one. But as Sword Light Reincarnation improved, the original twenty minutes was directly reduced to thirteen or fourteen minutes, a significant effect.

In total, he killed more than two hundred Elemental Guardians, among which Shi Feng harvested 727 Element Cores, in addition to 213 Epic-grade Armor Fragments, which meant that two Epic-grade Armor Pieces could be synthesized.

Even Shi Feng was speechless at this income.

Asura-grade was Asura-grade!

It was just a hall in the Ancient God’s Maze, and he had not yet dealt with the Boss guarding the hall, but he had already obtained so much. If the super forces saw it, they would probably be envious.

After Shi Feng sorted out the dropped items, his eyes turned to the Element Prayer not far away, which was more than five meters tall, had four arms, wore a white robe, and held a staff and a golden long sword.

Before, Shi Feng did not have much confidence in dealing with the Element Prayer, but now that Sword Light Reincarnation had been improved, Shi Feng was full of fighting spirit for the Element Prayer.

As long as he won, he would be able to obtain a bloodline comparable to a fragment of a Legendary item.

Immediately, Shi Feng quietly circled behind the Element Prayer, directly drawing his twin swords. A Wind Chasing Sword turned into a black shadow and directly stabbed towards the Element Prayer's heart.
