Chapter 2635 – A Stroll through the Backyard?
Upon seeing Zero Wing’s mbers dash straight toward the nearest group of trial monsters, Violet Sword’s and Azure’s mbers gaped in shock.
They were going up against several thousand monsters here. Moreover, even the weakest of these monsters was a Level 120 Great Lord, yet Shi Feng didn’t even bother to discuss positioning and individual assignnts before having Zero Wing’s mbers charge straight into battle. This was the first ti Violet Sword’s and Azure’s mbers had seen such leadership. To make matters worse, every one of Zero Wing’s mbers actually obeyed Shi Feng’s command.
“This is just too reckless!” Wildfighter could not help feeling anxious when he saw Shi Feng proceeding with utter disregard for their opinions. “There are several thousand monsters! Even if they have fully unlocked Mana Bodies and can take so hits, if they can’t dodge attacks, they’ll still end up dead!”
He admitted that Zero Wing’s mbers were very high-leveled. In addition, every one of them also had a fully unlocked Mana Body. Zero Wing’s mbers definitely had a greater advantage when going up against the trial monsters than Violet Sword’s peak experts did.
However, the system was clearly trying to test players’ combat standards in this tunnel. Levels and fully unlocked Mana Bodies were only secondary.
Currently, they were already tight for ti because the trial duration was only five days instead of the expected seven days. If they died here and lost a day’s worth of progress, they definitely wouldn’t be able to complete the trial.
“We have no choice but to go along with them,” Crimson Star sighed when she saw Zero Wing’s mbers getting close to the nearest group of trial monsters. “I’ll activate my magic array in a mont. Everyone else, focus fire on the Trial Elites. So long as we reduce the number of penetrating attacks we have to deal with, we can stop the remaining trial monsters much more easily.”
Sinful Fla and the other mbers of Azure nodded in agreent with Crimson Star’s plan before charging toward the nearest Trial Elite. They intended to get rid of a few Trial Elites as soon as the battle between both sides started, so that they could lessen the pressure on Zero Wing’s mbers and minimize casualties.
The instant Zero Wing’s mbers entered the trial monsters’ perception range, the Trial Warriors and Trial Elites promptly sprang into action like veterans of the battlefield.
In no ti at all, 400 Trial Warriors spread out into a square formation around the main army. They then stabbed the iron shields they carried into the ground, creating an iron wall that protected the several thousand other trial monsters within their formation. As for the trial monsters inside the square formation, they unslung their bows, split up into several divisions, and fired arrows at Zero Wing’s mbers in intervals.
This scene stunned Violet Sword’s and Azure’s mbers montarily.
They had seen monsters attacking as an orderly group before, but this was definitely their first ti seeing monsters attacking in such a well-trained fashion. In fact, the coordination of these trial monsters rivaled that of NPCs.
Volleys of arrows rained down on Zero Wing’s mbers, each volley consisting of more than a thousand arrows. Moreover, the intervals between the volleys were incredibly short. The arrows in each volley were also well-spaced, leaving no room for Zero Wing’s mbers to exploit.
“It’s over... Even peak experts will have difficulty dodging and blocking all those arrows. With the combat standards of Zero Wing’s mbers, several volleys would be enough to annihilate them...” Wildfighter’s complexion darkened significantly when he saw the spate of arrows bombarding Zero Wing’s mbers.
Against such a coordinated and accurate assault, let alone Zero Wing’s mbers, even a group of peak experts wouldn’t survive for very long.
Although the attack pattern was very monotonous, the arrows flew incredibly fast. In addition, they ca in torrents. There was a limit to the number of actions and reactions a person could make within a certain period. Over this limit, even Domain Realm experts would be rendered powerless and could only watch as they got killed.
Although these arrows didn’t carry a lot of power, they still weren’t attacks players like themselves could afford to receive casually.
At this mont, every one of Zero Wing’s mbers would have to go up against at least ten arrows simultaneously, with so unlucky ones having to go up against as many as 20. After factoring in the speed of the arrows, these numbers had already exceeded the limits of even Tier 3 peak experts. Only Domain Realm experts would be able to accurately determine the trajectories of these arrows and react to them in ti.
Just when the first volley of arrows was about to land on Zero Wing’s mbers, a voice appeared in the team chat.
“Vice Commander Crimson, activate your defensive magic array!” Shi Feng ordered unhurriedly as he looked at the descending arrows.
“Got it!”
Upon hearing Shi Feng’s command, Crimson Star snapped out of her daze and waved her staff, completing the activation of the magic array she had prepared beforehand.
A silver barrier blood from the center of Zero Wing’s formation, instantly expanding to cover a 200-yard radius and enveloping all of Zero Wing’s mbers within it.
Tier 3 Curse, Aerial Defense!
Aerial Defense was a Curse that had a certain probability of invalidating the flying tools within its range; it was similarly effective against arrows. In the next mont, more than 20% of the first arrow volley clattered to the ground. Now, only about 900 arrows continued flying toward Zero Wing’s mbers.
Even so, Violet Sword’s and Azure’s mbers still wore grim expressions on their faces.
Although the number of arrows had been reduced to around 900, the number of attacks each of Zero Wing’s mbers had to face still exceeded the limit of peak experts, let alone Refinent Realm experts.
As Violet Sword’s and Azure’s mbers were shaking their heads and sighing, Zero Wing’s mbers started maneuvering around the arrows, dodging them effortlessly as if they had long since known the trajectories of these arrows. From afar, it seed as if Zero Wing’s mbers were dancing in a rain of arrows.
When the first volley of arrows ended, not a single Zero Wing mber had suffered a direct hit. While so Zero Wing mbers had lost roughly a quarter of their HP, that was rely a result of them defending against the Trial Elites’ Penetrating Arrows. The HP they lost was also instantly replenished by the healers on the team.
“How is that possible?!” Floating Light’s eyes bulged when he saw this scene.
Against that volley of arrows, even he wouldn’t have such an easy ti blocking and defending. However, Zero Wing’s mbers had dealt with the volley of arrows as if they were just strolling through their backyard.
At this mont, let alone Floating Light, even Solitary Frost and Yan Xiaoqian, who had trained with Zero Wing’s mbers for the past few days, were astonished by this scene.
Despite the majority of Zero Wing’s mbers being only at the Refinent Realm, they had easily dealt with an attack that even peak experts would find troubleso. This was simply unbelievable.
“They can actually block and dodge that kind of attack so easily? Just what kind of training do they normally undergo?” Yan Xiaoqian’s heart roiled with confusion as she looked at Zero Wing’s Refinent Realm experts.
What Yan Xiaoqian and the others did not know was that Zero Wing’s core mbers had long since familiarized themselves with attacks like the trial monsters’ arrow attacks. After all, they faced much worse when they were training at the Extraordinary Tower’s first floor. In fact, in the opinions of Zero Wing’s mbers, blocking and dodging the trial monsters’ arrow attacks would still be a cakewalk even without Crimson Star’s support.
After enduring several volleys of arrows, Shi Feng noticed that all of the agitated trial monsters had shifted their attention to Zero Wing’s mbers. He then ordered through the team chat, “We’ve stabilized the aggro! Everyone, start attacking!”
Upon hearing Shi Feng’s command, Violet Sword’s and Azure’s mbers snapped out of their daze and started launching attacks at the trial monsters, together with Zero Wing’s mbers.
Because Zero Wing’s mbers were holding aggro, everyone else could attack freely without having to worry about getting attacked themselves. As a result, the trial monsters fell rapidly, one after another.
anwhile, everyone discovered that these trial monsters granted a surprisingly large amount of EXP—basically three tis higher than normal. At this discovery, Violet Sword’s and Azure’s mbers grew ecstatic.
The only disappointing thing about these trial monsters was that they did not drop any loot.
After the team grinded the trial monsters for more than half a day, sothing strange occurred. One of the Trial Elites killed suddenly burst into flas and transford into a dilapidated, crystal stele that hovered quietly in the air. The stele radiated frightening Mana fluctuations that sent many of the Tier 3 experts present stumbling back.
An Ancient Legacy Stele?!
When Shi Feng saw this worn stele, his eyes widened in shock, and he could not help wondering whether he was hallucinating.
