Chapter 1848 – Ancient Demon
“Guild Leader, did you find sothing good?” Aqua Rose asked curiously as she watched Shi Feng’s blank expression.
The rest of the team turned to look at Shi Feng, as well, anticipation flashing in their eyes. They all wanted to know what kind of treasure a Fine-Gold Treasure Chest had to offer.
A Fine-Gold Treasure Chest was almost impossible to find in Level 50-plus maps. The best players normally found were Secret-Silver rank. anwhile, even Mysterious-Iron Treasure Chests could cause a heated struggle between Guild teams.
The higher-quality treasure chest players found, the more of a commotion activating the treasure chest would cause. In turn, this would lead to more players finding out about the treasure chest. Moreover, after players acquired the items inside a treasure chest, there was a two-hour period when the items would be guaranteed to drop upon death. Hence, whenever a treasure chest appeared in the fields, a slaughter would soon follow.
Fortunately, Zero Wing’s team didn’t have to worry about being attacked. After all, this place was the Fla Demon’s Valley. The only other players that might see the glow from the Fine-Gold Treasure Chest were the Ninth Heaven mbers.
Even if other players with hostile intentions discovered them, they had no fear that anyone would try to rob them.
“Sothing good has dropped,” Shi Feng said, laughing. He then retrieved the Fla Demon’s Crown and shared its statistics in the team chat.

After reading the Fla Demon’s Crown’s details, the team lost their prior excitent.
“Guild Leader, this crown is a scam. Not only does it have such a high equipnt requirent, but it doesn’t actually offer any Basic Attributes. The only good thing about it is its high Fire Resistance, but it isn’t worth sacrificing everything else.”
“I feel the sa. The monsters in harsh environnts are generally very powerful. Although this crown can provide sufficient Fire Resistance to survive in these maps, without the Basic Attributes, you’ll have a difficult ti dealing with monsters. It would be much better to equip several pieces of equipnt that provide less Fire Resistance but have significant Basic Attributes.”
“Its defensive properties are even more important. No matter how I look at this crown, it doesn’t seem to have any.”
Everyone quickly discerned the pros and cons of the Fla Demon’s Crown.
Even Level 50 Common cloth armor had more than 100 Defense. The Fla Demon’s Crown’s Defense was practically a useless decoration.
In addition, losing the Basic Attributes from a piece of equipnt would reduce a player’s Attributes by around 10%. This would cause at least a 20% reduction in combat power. Moreover, due to the lack of Defense in the head section, others would have a weakness to exploit. If one were struck in the head, it was entirely possible that they’d suffer a Fainted state.
As God’s Domain continued to update, the equipnt players wore would have greater importance. Equipnt would play a role in a player’s defense beyond Basic Attributes.
Take two players with the sa Defense, for example. If one of these players wore chest armor while the other player did not, the player without a chest piece would receive more damage when struck in that area and suffer additional negative effects.
If a player took a blow to the head, they would feel dizzy and powerless, and their reactions would beco sluggish. If one were stuck in the arm, it would go numb and beco difficult to move.
There were subtle differences in the negative effects depending on the materials of their equipnt, as well. An attack’s impact was one such example.
During the early stages of the ga, these negative effects were barely noticeable, but as players took on higher-leveled monsters, these negative effects would beco more prominent. As a result, players would have to choose their equipnt carefully. It wasn’t enough to prioritize Basic Attributes. Players also needed to focus on their equipnt’s compatibility and defensive properties.
anwhile, the Fla Demon’s Crown, made of fire with a pitiful 100 points in Defense, clearly didn’t have any. It was a costu piece at best. If one equipped the Fla Demon’s Crown during battle, they’d be asking for an early death.
Shi Feng simply revealed a bitter smile as he stored the Fla Demon’s Crown.
He had to admit that his Guild mbers’ standards had significantly improved. Their understanding of weapons and equipnt was no longer limited to Basic Attributes. Unfortunately, they were still sowhat ignorant
This didn’t particularly surprise Shi Feng. His teammates were still relatively low-leveled, after all. They still didn’t fully understand Resistances. They did not know just how valuable a piece of equipnt capable of increasing Fire Resistance by 200 points was.
Among the items in the Fine-Gold Treasure Chest, the Fla Demon’s Crown was easily more valuable than the other items combined.
By the ti mainstream players had reached Level 100 and beyond in the past, a Fla Demon’s Crown had sold for a whopping 5,000 Gold. With that amount of money, one could purchase an Epic Equipnt with poor Attributes. Even so, players rarely sold their Fla Demon’s Crowns.
Equipnt that added 200 Fire Resistance was extrely rare. Most importantly, the Fla Demon’s Crown’s Fla Demon’s Body allowed its wearer to beco immune to burning effects. In other words, no matter how hot an environnt was, players would not suffer any negative effects. They could maintain their combat power at its peak.
Of course, due to the Fla Demon’s Crown’s glaring weakness, it was only suitable for expert players. Ordinary players would be better off wearing several pieces of equipnt that provided both Basic Attributes and Fire Resistance.
Ordinary players already fought to get their Basic Attributes up to standard and as a result, struggled against monsters and in Team Dungeon raids. They would be asking for trouble by using a piece of specialized equipnt like the Fla Demon’s Crown. However, expert players were different. They would easily have enough Basic Attributes even without wearing a headpiece. When fighting in sweltering environnts, it was far more important for expert players to have high Fire Resistance.
Hence, during the later stages of the ga, the various large Guilds’ main force mbers had stopped focusing on Basic Attributes. Instead, they had prioritized Resistances and physique.
Moreover, the Fla Demon’s Crown was like an entry pass to the Fla Demon’s Valley. As long as one had a Fla Demon’s Crown, they could travel anywhere within the valley. They wouldn’t even have any issues exploring the flaming valley’s core.
Originally, Shi Feng had worried that he didn’t have enough Fire Resistance to survive in the central area, but now that he had the Fla Demon’s Crown, he wasn’t concerned. Now, only the Fla Demon King himself would be a problem. In God’s Domain, the Fla Demon King was categorized as a World Boss.
Counter to most expectations, World Bosses were not much stronger than ordinary Field Bosses. The system did not grant World Bosses any special traits, either. However, they did have full control over their territories.
While in a World Boss’s territory, players would be prevented from using Magic Scrolls and magic arrays. It wasn’t even possible to use magical tools. At most, players could use their weapons and equipnt’s Skills. It was a nightmare for most players.
After emptying the Fine-Gold Treasure Chest, Shi Feng and the others continued towards the central region. After traveling for a little over an hour, they finally arrived before a fiery world. White-hot flas danced along the mountain range before them. The ring of mountains resembled a burning sun, making it difficult to look at.
“This place is so hot!” Blackie exclaid as he looked at the flaming mountain range. Despite standing so distance away from the mountain range, he felt as if like roasting at.
Everyone on the team felt the sweltering heat. Even walking exhausted their Stamina.
anwhile, a gigantic figure wielding a trident patrolled the center of this mountain ring. Every one of this figure’s movents stirred the flas around it as lava rose into the air. Even from several thousand yards away, Zero Wing’s team could feel the figure’s fierce aura.
When they saw the Fla Demon King’s true appearance, they couldn’t help their gasps.
Even Shi Feng was shocked.
...
[Fla Demon King] (Elental Creature, Ancient Fiend, Mythic) Level 83
HP 720,000,000/720,000,000
...
An Ancient Fiend?! How is this possible?! Shi Feng was indescribably shocked when he saw the Fla Demon King’s statistics. Shouldn’t it be an Archaic Species?
