Chapter 2205 Flying Mount
The Thunder Eagle's Summoning Whistle was very ordinary, just like a regular whistle, made entirely of wood. Deep purple magic patterns were imprinted on the whistle, shimmering brightly.
"How is this possible?"
"I'm not seeing things, am I?"
"Isn't it rumored that flying mounts can only be obtained in maps above level 100?"
Zhuo Hai and the others couldn't help swallowing their saliva as they looked at the Thunder Eagle's Summoning Whistle, completely unable to believe it was real.
Even though they were experts who had mastered Domains, had seen countless top-quality treasures, and even had several Epic-ranked equipment and weapons, they couldn't help but be surprised and excited when they saw a flying mount.
Although almost all players above level 50 had ordinary mounts, not a single player in the entire God's Domain possessed a flying mount, and they didn't even know how to obtain one.
In the current God's Domain, players deeply understood the benefits of mounts, especially for expert players.
Players had limited stamina, and their range of activity was also limited. God's Domain was so vast that the players' stamina was simply not enough, and mounts could greatly increase the players' range of activity.
However, this was only one of the benefits of mounts. The real benefit was saving time.
Since players entered maps above level 50, many places had no teleportation points, and this was even more so as the level increased, so they could only rely on players to run there themselves, making mounts increasingly important.
Currently, even a Mysterious-Iron ranked mount on the market was being fought over by countless experts, and the value of a Mithril-ranked mount was no less than an Epic-ranked item. Even the guild leaders of first-rate guilds found it difficult to obtain a Fine-Gold ranked mount, and even the guild leaders of super forces might not have a Dark-Gold ranked mount.
Like these experts, they had several pieces of Epic equipment, but the mounts they had obtained were only Mithril-ranked and Fine-Gold ranked. It was because of these mounts that their leveling speed was much faster than other experts.
And what was a flying mount?
It was a mount that could fly in the sky, directly ignoring terrain and being several times faster than land mounts!
God's Domain was a virtual reality game where players' consciousness was completely immersed, unlike the previous semi-immersive virtual games. This made God's Domain as real as the real world, and with the NPCs' super-strong intelligence, some players even became friends with the NPCs.
If it weren't for these level data and system prompts, everyone would probably think this was the real world.
And being able to freely roam the sky like a bird in the real world was the dream of countless people.
Moreover, according to the information they had collected, it was extremely difficult to obtain flying mounts in God's Domain, and it would never be like land mounts where everyone had one, something that could be bought with gold coins.
At this time, not to mention Zhuo Hai and the others being surprised to see the Thunder Eagle's Summoning Whistle, even Shi Feng was surprised.
He knew about the Thunder Eagle flying mount, and also knew that the Thunder Mystic Realm dropped Thunder Eagles, but as far as he knew, the Thunder Eagle should be in the deeper part of the Thunder Mystic Realm, that is, the Thunder God Mountain dungeon in the level 100 map had a chance to drop it, and the drop rate was very low.
Rumor had it that only the team that got the first clear of Thunder God Mountain obtained a Thunder Eagle. In the entire ten years of God's Domain, there were only less than ten players who obtained Thunder Eagles, which showed how low the drop rate of Thunder Eagles was.
But now, killing a Half-Serpentman General dropped a Thunder Eagle, which was simply unbelievable.
However, precisely because of this, Shi Feng took a deep breath after identifying the item. He didn't expect the drops from the Half-Serpentman Warrenka to be so terrifying.
It should be known that the value of an ordinary flying mount was comparable to three pieces of Epic-ranked equipment above level 100. This was when flying mounts were more common. In the early stages when they were extremely rare, the value was five pieces of Epic-ranked equipment above level 100.
And the Thunder Eagle was not comparable to ordinary flying mounts, but an extraordinary flying mount.
The classification of flying mounts was different from that of land mounts, divided into Ordinary, Extraordinary, Legendary, and above Legendary there was a Mythical level, but Mythical-level flying mounts had never even been heard of.
These four levels represented the growth potential of flying mounts.
Because flying mounts were different from land mounts, somewhat similar to guild mounts, they were mounts that could be continuously cultivated and grown, and could even be cultivated into Tier 6 Gods, but the cultivation of flying mounts was thousands of times more difficult than guild mounts…
Thunder Eagle's Summoning Whistle, can summon an Extraordinary Thunder Eagle as a partner to fly and fight in the sky. If the Thunder Eagle dies, it will take fifteen natural days to resurrect. (The Thunder Eagle is blessed by the God of Thunder and can be used in the Thunder Mystic Realm.)
"According to our previous agreement, I can choose one item from the dropped items first. I'll choose the Thunder Eagle's Summoning Whistle," Shi Feng said to everyone.
The Half-Serpentman General Warrenka did drop a lot of top-quality items, and even dropped a piece of Epic equipment, but compared to the Extraordinary flying mount, it was not worth mentioning at all.
Seemingly, the Thunder Eagle was only a mount ranked third among the four levels, but more than 90% of the flying mounts in God's Domain were Ordinary, and the Extraordinary level was just like its name, like the difference between ordinary humans and extraordinary humans.
Ordinary flying mounts could only grow to Tier 3 peak as their limit, and they had to spend countless resources. The possibility of breaking through to Tier 4 was only 3%, but Extraordinary mounts could grow to Tier 3 peak without much training, and had a 30% chance of breaking through to Tier 4.
In addition, the starting points of the two were completely different. The starting point of Ordinary mounts was Tier 2, and the starting point of Extraordinary mounts was Tier 3.
Moreover, the Thunder Eagle was not an ordinary Extraordinary mount. There were also subdivisions in the four levels of flying mounts, with each level divided into three grades: Elementary, Intermediate, and Advanced. However, you could only see it after summoning the mount. It belonged to an Intermediate Extraordinary mount.
In his previous life, although he was the guild leader of the second-rate guild Youying, the flying mount he could get was only an Ordinary Advanced one. After investing a lot of resources, it only reached Tier 3 peak combat power, barely able to compete with the most ordinary Tier 4 players.
If he could have gotten an Intermediate Extraordinary flying mount back then, when encountering ordinary Tier 4 experts, those ordinary Tier 4 experts would probably have to give way and run.
After Shi Feng chose the Thunder Eagle, everyone didn't say anything. They were just very envious. Even Wei Yang Qianhen was a little reluctant to part with the Thunder Eagle, but after all, it had been agreed upon long ago, and without Shi Feng, they wouldn't even have had the chance to kill Warrenka.
Afterwards, Shi Feng took the Thunder Eagle's Summoning Whistle, and all the other items were given to Lunhui and the others.
Before long, all the other items were distributed. Lei Ming's entire set was given to Wei Yang Qianhen, Lunhui obtained an Epic-ranked belt, and others successively obtained Dark-Gold and Fine-Gold equipment, slightly improving their attributes.
Afterwards, Shi Feng and the others farmed the Half-Serpentman Guard Captains for another two days. Lunhui and the others finally reached level 81, and Lunhui and Wei Yang Qianhen received news that several super forces had arrived at the Thunder Echoing Hall, and had also had some friction and battles with the Seven Sins Flowers.
"It's time for us to go out!" Shi Feng smiled faintly after hearing this news.
