Chapter 1 The Strengthened Secret Realm

After the Starfall Secret Realm was strengthened, the number of Lava Giants at the Grand Lord level skyrocketed. Even the Lava Giants in the inner area felt like an endless grind for the Zero Wing members.

Eight days in a row!

Shi Feng led the Zero Wing members to continuously grind Grand Lord level Lava Giants in the inner area, and they only managed to clear a little over half of them.

But it has to be said that the Starfall Secret Realm is indeed a leveling treasure trove. Even though the Zero Wing members were already level 66, they have now generally risen four levels, reaching level 70. The speed of one level every two days is definitely the envy of the experts of the various super forces.

And Shi Feng's original level of 72 has also been forcibly raised by two levels, reaching level 74.

However, compared to the levels the others gained, the attributes they increased were the most significant. In God's Domain, every five levels is a small improvement, and every ten levels is a major improvement. The Epic equipment and Fragmented Legendary items worn by Fire Dance and the others will also increase in attributes as their levels increase. Now that they are all level 70, their attributes have taken a small leap compared to before.

If they were to face the experts from the White River City battle now, it would definitely be much easier than before, especially Fire Dance, Bai Qingxue, Zhao Yueru, and Cola.

In the eight days, the group also collected eleven sets of the Forgotten Set for cloth armor, nine sets of the Extinction Set for leather armor, and eight sets of the Earth Vein Set for plate armor. The harvest of other Mithril and Dark Gold equipment exceeded nine hundred pieces, which was more than the harvest from grinding a Hell-level team dungeon every day.

At this time, in a desolate and uninhabited canyon, the Zero Wing members were besieging a High Grand Lord level Lava Behemoth that was seven or eight meters tall. The Lava Behemoth roared madly, and its HP continued to decrease under the attacks of the Zero Wing members. Fire Dance took the opportunity to go behind the Lava Behemoth, and a Shadow Kill took away the last trace of the Lava Behemoth's HP. The whole action was smooth and flowing, which was amazing.

As the level 74 Lava Behemoth turned into a pile of rubble, the experience bars of the others also increased by a small amount.

"This Lava Behemoth is really difficult to deal with."

Banjian looked at his HP bar, which had dropped to below one-third, and his defense had been weakened by 85%.

With an 85% reduction in defense, even if he used a shield to withstand an attack from the Lava Behemoth, he would still lose more than 70,000 HP. Moreover, the Lava Behemoth was huge, with a very large attack range. Its attacks did not require any skill, making it impossible for players to avoid them except by taking the hit head-on.

If it weren't for the three main tanks alternating, a single main tank simply couldn't withstand it.

"Indeed, it's difficult. Its Lava Shield reduces our magic damage by half. Fortunately, our equipment is good. If we were to switch to the second-tier team in the guild, I'm afraid they wouldn't be a match." Aqua Rose glanced at the dead Lava Behemoth, agreeing completely.

The Lava Behemoth had a full 100 million HP, and its combat recovery was 2% every five seconds, which was twice as high as other monsters. If the output of the team was insufficient, they would have no way to deal with the Lava Behemoth. Only a team like theirs with a large number of Epic weapons and equipment could handle it.

Although the Lava Behemoth was difficult to deal with, after killing it, everyone had some small surprises.

Just killing one Lava Behemoth dropped more than a dozen items, which was much more than the previous Lava Giants.

"Guild Leader, how is it? Did it drop a set?" Blackie looked at Shi Feng, who was sorting out the drops, full of expectation.

They had been killing Grand Lord level Lava Giants all the time. Now that they had killed a Lava Behemoth, it couldn't be bad.

"No set, but it dropped a good thing. Take a look." Shi Feng smiled and put the identified item in the team chat.

The equipment dropped by the Lava Behemoth was only three pieces, all of which were level 70 Fine-Gold equipment. Although it also had the attribute of reducing stamina consumption, it was still a bit worse than a set.

But among these dropped items, there was a skill book called Super Stamina Recovery.

Super Stamina Recovery, super magic, can instantly restore 40% of stamina to players within a range of 30 yards, and then increase stamina recovery speed by 200% and basic attributes by 15% for one hour. The cooldown time is twelve hours (limited to Priest class).

"This skill is too awesome!" Blackie's eyes went straight when he saw it.

Not only can it restore stamina, but it can also increase player attributes. It is no exaggeration to call it a team god skill.

"With just this skill book alone, a hundred-man team in a neutral map probably doesn't have to worry about stamina." Aqua Rose was also amazed.

Currently, the resistance equipment, as well as many high-level special potions and other items, have many materials that are only available in neutral maps. Therefore, major forces are desperately trying to explore neutral maps in order to collect these materials and prepare to take the first kill of the level 70+ super-large team dungeons.

As long as they can take the first kill of these level 70+ super-large team dungeons, they can not only greatly increase the guild's reputation and obtain top-quality equipment, but also obtain town construction orders. These construction orders can allow towns to be built on the neutral map, which is equivalent to seizing control of a neutral map.

The number of neutral maps around a kingdom and empire is limited. Controlling the resources of a neutral map will make it difficult for the guild not to become strong.

"Then let Ziyan learn this skill book first," Shi Feng said.

Everyone agreed with this. Super Stamina Recovery is a magic skill that can only be learned by the Priest class. Ziyan Liuyun is the guild's number one priest, and Ziyan Liuyun has always been following the main force team, or leading teams in neutral maps. She is indeed the most suitable person.

After Ziyan Liuyun finished learning it, Shi Feng asked everyone to continue grinding Lava Giants to improve their levels, and also asked Fire Dance to lead the assassin team to search for other Lava Behemoths, maybe they could get a few more Super Stamina Recovery skills, after all, this skill book is too important for a team.

While the Zero Wing members were grinding Lava Giants and steadily improving their levels, Melancholic Smile suddenly contacted them.

"What's the situation?" Shi Feng asked, looking at Melancholic Smile, who looked very anxious.

"Guild Leader, Star Ring recently took down the Orc Empire's Beast Blood Fortress. Afterwards, our members in the various neutral maps were attacked, especially our members active in the inner area of the Orc Empire. The casualties were very serious. I originally asked Battle Soul Not Fallen for support to fight against these Star Ring members together, but Battle Soul Not Fallen is also facing the same situation. It can be said that a full-scale war has broken out in the neutral maps of the Dark Night Empire," Melancholic Smile reported.

"No wonder Star Ring didn't react before. It turns out they have been secretly planning this." Shi Feng suddenly understood.

It has to be said that Star Ring's actions have caused a great blow to Zero Wing.

Zero Wing is already deeply rooted in the Star-Moon Kingdom. It is already difficult to move Zero Wing in the Star-Moon Kingdom. Generally, they can only start from the economy to suppress Zero Wing's development. However, after Zero Wing restored the ordinary membership of the Heavenly Secret Chamber of Commerce, it became difficult to suppress it economically, and it would not have any significant effect.

Therefore, Star Ring planned to take a hard line and secretly gain a foothold in the Orc Empire, sending a large number of experts to the Orc Empire. With the numerical advantage of expert players, Zero Wing would have no way to survive in the neutral maps.

After all, Star Ring's situation is different from before. Star Ring has stabilized its position as the overlord of the Dark Night Empire, and it is difficult for other forces to shake it. They can safely send a large number of experts on expeditions, and they have a stable foothold in the Orc Empire, so they don't have to worry about leveling up and developing. Unlike in the Star-Moon Kingdom, where there is no foothold, the more they fight, the more disadvantageous it becomes.

Even if Zero Wing has war puppets and hell chariots, these things are only suitable for large-scale battles. In the vast neutral map, Zero Wing's existing war puppets and hell chariots have no effect at all.

"Guild Leader, what should we do now?" Melancholic Smile asked.

"First, let everyone narrow their range of activity. If it really doesn't work, then pay more magic crystals and let guild members level up in the Gate of Another World. As for the neutral map, let's put it aside for now," Shi Feng thought for a while and said, "After I finish my task and go back, I'll make other arrangements."

"I understand." Melancholic Smile nodded. This is all they can do for now.

Afterwards, Shi Feng hung up the communication and immediately ordered everyone to gather and go directly to the location of the Fire Meteor Lord. As for leveling up and grinding equipment, the current situation no longer allows it.

The central area of the Starfall Secret Realm is a lava hell. Only a few scattered boulders stand in the lava, barely enough for twenty or thirty people to stand on. In the lava, you can see a giant composed entirely of lava lying inside. His figure is more than fifty meters high, like a mountain, exuding a terrifying pressure. The surrounding lava creatures dare not approach him at all.

"Guild Leader, we're not really going to deal with this Boss, are we?" Blackie looked at the lava giant with a wry smile.

It wasn't just Blackie who thought so. Bai Qingxue, Aqua Rose, and others present also thought so.

Because the lava giant in front of them is not something that can be described as strong. It is simply not something that current players can contend with.

Fire Meteor Lord (Son of the Flame King), Elemental Life, Ancient Demon, Legendary, Level 75, HP 580,000,000.
