Chapter 1882 Heading South

"Is that person crazy? To advance like that in the wild!"

"What's going on? Why haven't those monsters noticed him?"

Teams of players in the wild watched Shi Feng dash through the desolate forest. The high-level monsters wandering around seemed not to see him at all, some even detouring on their own, which surprised everyone.

In just a moment, Shi Feng disappeared from their sight.

"Have they gotten used to fighting monsters above their level?" Shi Feng, riding his mount through the desolate forest, noticed many player teams fighting. These elite teams were stronger than the elite players of the Star-Moon Kingdom.

Clearly, these monsters were all level 70 or higher, possessing not only a level advantage but also a significant advantage in attributes. However, these players knew how to fight, never directly confronting them. Instead, they had the MT (Main Tank) restrain the monsters while continuously dodging, and the ranged classes attacked frantically to whittle down the high-level monsters.

This method seemed simple, but the monsters here had high combat skills, and with the attribute advantage, restraining them wasn't easy, not to mention restraining them for a long time. It tested the players' skills.

However, these players could only operate around the Glory Stone Fortress and couldn't venture too far, because the farther away they went, the higher the monster levels became. The monsters weren't limited to special elites and leaders anymore, but also included Lord and High Lord-level monsters.

Level 70 or higher Lords and High Lords were monsters even level 60 Tier 2 experts would avoid, because their combat skills were much better than those of elite and leader monsters. Coupled with deadly skills, Tier 2 experts could lose their lives in an instant, let alone Tier 1 players.

But this was nothing to Shi Feng. The level 70 or higher Lords around the road were a threat to Tier 2 experts, but they posed no threat to Shi Feng, who was also level 70, and he could easily pass through them.

After running for more than two hours, Shi Feng arrived at an open, stony plain. In the center of the plain stood an ancient altar, surrounded by ancient stone pillars, forming a stone pillar maze around the entire altar. Inside the maze, various elemental creatures roamed, all level 75 or higher, and there were many Lord-level elemental creatures.

This place was the most famous area on the Glory Stone Fortress map, called the Elemental Altar.

"As expected, no one has come here yet," Shi Feng muttered with a faint smile as he quietly approached the Elemental Altar, gazing at the ancient stone box placed in the center.

In his past life, almost everyone who wanted to go to Thunder Axe City would pass through Glory Stone Fortress. However, when he came to Glory Stone Fortress, it had already been cleared, and the Elemental Altar was a hot topic.

The reason it was so widely discussed was the stone box enshrined in the Elemental Altar. It looked ordinary and unremarkable, but when opened, it contained an astonishing treasure.

It was called the Sealing Stone!

Although the Sealing Stone was a one-time use item, it possessed terrifying power. It could seal a monster, directly reducing its strength by one tier for three hours.

This might not seem like much, but the Sealing Stone could seal even Mythic monsters, reducing them to High Grand Lords. Primordial species Mythic monsters could be reduced to Mythic rank.

In his past life, the opening of Thunder Axe City's gates relied on this Sealing Stone. Otherwise, the gatekeepers were not something individual players could contend with. Before that, countless peak experts from super forces had been blocked outside the gates.

Now that he wanted to open the gates of Thunder Axe City, the Sealing Stone was essential.

However, opening the stone box and obtaining the Sealing Stone wouldn't be easy, because a Thunder Beast resided beside the box.

Thunder Beast, an elemental creature, High Grand Lord, level 77, with 85 million HP.

This Thunder Beast was difficult to deal with, becoming stronger with more players. This "stronger with more" was different from other wild Bosses. The Thunder Beast's strength started increasing from the first living being, not from a hundred-member team. If there were more than six living beings, the Thunder Beast would grow into a Primordial species High Grand Lord. If there were more than twenty living beings, it would become a Mythic, and if there were more than a hundred living beings, although it wouldn't increase further, its combat skills would rise sharply. It could be said that a hundred or more living beings would make it impossible to defeat.

The term "living being" included players' guardians or summoned beasts, so dealing with this Thunder Beast was very difficult.

Moreover, the more living beings there were, the more skills the Thunder Beast would master, and the stronger they would become…

This was why many guild experts above level 70 had been unable to defeat this Thunder Beast until some top experts reached level 75 and used special items.

Although he wasn't level 75 yet, he possessed powerful external force, making it not too difficult to deal with this Thunder Beast.

Immediately, Shi Feng took out the Book of Darkness and summoned an level 85 Tier 3 Demon, the Lava Demon. Scalding lava covered its body, and just standing there caused the surrounding temperature to rise sharply. It possessed a natural domain and was skilled in close combat. With the strengthening effect of the Book of Darkness, although it couldn't compare to a High Grand Lord of the same level, being eight levels higher, it could still fight the Thunder Beast.

"Go!" Shi Feng pointed at the Thunder Beast resting beside the altar.

The Lava Demon roared and charged toward the Thunder Beast, instantly appearing in front of it and slamming its claws down. The Thunder Beast was awakened, and the Lava Demon's Tier 3 forbidden skill, Lava Claw, landed on the Thunder Beast composed of lightning.

"Aww!"

The Thunder Beast shrieked, losing over two million HP instantly and falling into the Lava Claw's weakening effect, reducing all attributes by 10%, instantly maxing out its aggro.

The Thunder Beast, after taking a hit, retaliated with a sweep of its tail, sending a bolt of lightning across.

Tier 3 skill, Thunder Annihilation!

With just a sweep, the area within a hundred yards of the tail was filled with lightning. Any player caught in it, except for Tier 2 MTs with a life-saving skill, would die.

However, this skill was nothing to the Lava Demon, only causing it to lose over 1.5 million HP, which was nothing to the Lava Demon with over 24 million HP.

After the Lava Demon and the Thunder Beast fought for a while, and the aggro was completely stable, Shi Feng used Instantaneous Movement to appear beside the Thunder Beast and began his attack.

Sword Light Phantom!

Purgatory Pentaburst!

Flame Burst!

Phantom Kill!

…

Skill after skill came out in succession. Shi Feng's strength, comparable to a Grand Lord of the same level, caused the Thunder Beast's HP to drop by tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, making the Thunder Beast, which had originally been at an advantage, lose HP rapidly.

90%...70%...50%...

With only the Lava Demon and Shi Feng as living beings, the Thunder Beast only had two skills: a Tier 3 skill, Thunder Annihilation, and a Tier 3 single-target skill, Thunder Claw. It had no other skills.

Facing a player like Shi Feng, it could only watch its HP continuously decrease, completely helpless.

Finally, when its HP was less than 1%, it was killed by Shi Feng using Divine Grace, turning into countless lightning bolts and disappearing from the altar...
