Tianyun Lao Mao
Chapter 1138 Two Weaknesses
“A Sub Legendary treasure chest in the forging hall?” Shi Feng was instantly excited.
In his past life, he had never even seen an Epic treasure chest, only heard about them in legends.
As for Sub Legendary treasure chests, they were merely rumors in God’s Domain. Whether such a thing even existed was only speculation online. After all, obtaining a Sub Legendary treasure chest meant, with a bit of luck, a fragment of a Legendary item.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say:
A fragment of a Legendary item could change a player's destiny in God's Domain.
Epic items were obtainable by all the major guilds in God's Domain, and in considerable quantities. But fragments of Legendary items were not something every major guild possessed. Even first-rate guilds ten years from now probably wouldn't have many. The experts within those guilds who held fragments of Legendary items were closely protected by their guilds, with at least a team of twenty experts accompanying them at all times.
The purpose was simple: to prevent these top experts holding fragments of Legendary items from being ambushed. Although their own strength was already formidable, they were still vulnerable when targeted, hence the need for a protective team.
Even so, such ambush incidents occurred daily in God's Domain.
This showed just how coveted and rare fragments of Legendary items were to the major guilds.
Shi Feng never imagined that they would find such a reward so early after entering the Fallen Ark. It was even more incredible than the rumors suggested.
But after thinking it over, Shi Feng felt it made sense.
When the Fallen Ark was first discovered, others had already entered it and thoroughly looted its treasures. Furthermore, the super guilds that had defeated the Abyssal Old Monsters would have taken the easily obtainable items within the Fallen Ark. When large numbers of players subsequently poured into the Fallen Ark, the truly valuable items would have been scarce. Even so, the rewards were still extraordinary.
Now, they were the first team to explore the Fallen Ark. It was no surprise to find a Sub Legendary treasure chest, something he had never seen in his past life.
Upon hearing what Fire Dance said, everyone's eyes burned with excitement.
In this era where Epic items were incredibly rare, obtaining a fragment of a Legendary item was beyond imagination.
Except for a select few like Blackie, Aqua Rose, and Fire Dance, most people in the group believed that the best equipment Zero Wing possessed was Epic-ranked.
"What's the situation there?" Shi Feng asked quietly, calming himself down.
"Extremely powerful trap arrays are set up where the Sub Legendary treasure chest is located. However, there are two statues in the forging hall emitting a faint pressure. I suspect they might be guardians, so I didn't dare approach. I can't determine if I can disarm the trap arrays around the treasure chest."
Fire Dance then uploaded the images she had taken to the group chat.
Shi Feng had previously warned her to be cautious in the inner area, as there were guardian monsters in addition to the main trap arrays, which was why she noticed the two statues.
After carefully examining the images, Shi Feng nodded. "Your assessment is correct. Those are indeed two guardians, and not ordinary ones at that. They are Ancient Species Fossil Tyrants."
Shi Feng had encountered Fossil Tyrants before. Back then, super guilds had dispatched tens of thousands of troops and many top experts to besiege them. Defeating just one Fossil Tyrant had cost the attacking army over eighty percent of its forces...
"Ancient Species? Isn't that the kind of monster we encountered in the Titan's Labyrinth?" Aqua Rose exclaimed in surprise.
She was deeply aware of the power of Ancient Species. If the original magic array hadn't greatly suppressed the King of Corrosion, they wouldn't have had a chance to defeat it. Now, there were two Ancient Species...
Shi Feng was also surprised.
According to the information he had, the interior of the Fallen Ark was supposed to contain only special lifeforms and Abyssal monsters, with no other types of monsters. The sudden appearance of two Ancient Species was completely beyond his expectations.
"So, a Sub Legendary treasure chest is stored in such a conspicuous place in the forging hall." Shi Feng couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
As Ancient Species, they were even stronger than special lifeforms.
A Tier 4 Ancient Species could rival the Tier 4 Abyssal Old Monsters within the Ark. With two Ancient Species guarding it, the defenses were impregnable, leaving no room for hope.
Unless they had a Tier 3 expert team to challenge them or could disarm the trap arrays and use a Water Domain scroll to defend themselves while snatching the treasure chest, they could only watch from the sidelines.
"Guild Leader, it seems we can't obtain that Sub Legendary treasure chest with our current level. How about we explore other areas first?" White Feather suggested.
It wasn't that she didn't want the Sub Legendary treasure chest, but the difficulty of obtaining such a treasure was directly proportional to its quality. It wasn't worth risking their lives for the treasure. They might as well get the things they could obtain first.
"Alright, Fire Dance, send over the safe route first. We'll explore other areas and take as much as we can." Shi Feng thought about it and agreed. They should do what they could and then consider what they couldn't.
"Understood." Fire Dance nodded and sent the safe route to the forging hall to the group chat.
Shi Feng and the others then carefully proceeded towards the forging hall along the safe route Fire Dance had found.
The interior of the Fallen Ark was very complex, like a multi-dimensional maze. Without a map, it was easy to get lost and encounter the same traps multiple times, even dozens of times.
No wonder so few players who entered the Fallen Ark in his previous life were able to leave with treasures.
After an hour, Shi Feng and the others finally arrived at the forging hall.
The forging hall was enormous, as large as a stadium that could hold fifty thousand people. It was filled with various forging tools and a vast collection of books, but due to the ravages of time, they looked dilapidated. Only the treasure chest and statues in the center remained in good condition.
"Flying Shadow, find a way to disable the trap arrays on the forging tools and books. Everyone else, take anything that might be useful. Don't leave anything behind," Shi Feng ordered after surveying the hall.
Since they had come all this way, they couldn't leave empty-handed.
Although the forging tools and books were severely damaged, with so many tools and books, he refused to believe that there wasn't a single useful item.
"Yes!"
The group then began to act.
Shi Feng, on the other hand, stared intently at the Sub Legendary treasure chest and the two giant statues beside it.
Time passed, and more than two hours went by in the blink of an eye. The group had cleared out everything except the area around the treasure chest.
Although the scavenging was tiring, there were some gains. They obtained dozens of complete books and eight forging tools, each of Mythril-grade. These would be top-notch forging tools in the Candlelight Trading Firm.
Just as the group was quietly waiting for Fire Dance to return, White Feather, who was bored, began to browse through the books collected from the forging hall.
"Guild Leader, this book seems to have information about the Fossil Tyrant," White Feather suddenly said excitedly.
"Information? Let me see," Shi Feng said quickly.
The book White Feather was reading was titled *Analysis of Ancient Species Materials*, specializing in the introduction of various Ancient Species, the materials found on them, and what kind of weapons and equipment those materials were suitable for making.
Over a dozen pages were specifically about the Fossil Tyrant.
Among them, two weaknesses of the Fossil Tyrant were mentioned.
The first was its fear of water. Being in the water would make the Fossil Tyrant sluggish and greatly reduce its defense.
The second was its power core. The Fossil Tyrant had a source of power within its body. By destroying this power source, the Fossil Tyrant's strength attribute could be greatly weakened.
