As Shi Feng stopped to look at the War Armory, Minor Wind noticed red dots appear on his system map and reported, "Guild Leader, distant Patrols are approaching our location . If we don't move now, I'm afraid that we'll be discovered . "
After Zero Wing's team had entered the Fallen Ark, Minor Wind had activated his Scouting Skill as he kept a lookout for any movement in their area . Although his Scouting's search area was reduced inside the Ark, he could sense for enemies within a 300-yard radius . That was enough for the team to respond before enemies reached them .
"How many?" Shi Feng asked .
"Two . Moreover, they're moving relatively quickly . They'll reach our location in 15 seconds at most," Minor Wind reported .
Fifteen seconds? We'll be cutting it quite close… Shi Feng frowned . Based on his estimates, even an Assassin with their Locksmith class at Master rank would need roughly twenty seconds to open a room like the War Armory . Unfortunately, their team didn't have a Master Locksmith .
He also fully believed Minor Wind's estimate .
A qualified Ranger was not just a ranged damage dealer . Ranger's constant awareness of their surroundings and their judgment of various situations were their most important aspects . Although Minor Wind's combat standards were slightly lower than Zero Wing's other core members, his observation skills and judgment were top-notch .
"Guild Leader, we don't have much time left," Gentle Snow urged as they had less than eight seconds to prepare . Based on their location on the map, they were only two-thirds of the way to the Fallen Ark's inner region .
If they couldn't reach the inner region before the system update began, when they logged back into the game, reaching that area would be far more difficult . They also needed to select a treasury and deal with the traps inside .
Shi Feng hesitated .
In the past, the Fallen Ark had been a famous treasure trove in God's Domain . However, as the inner region's traps were extremely dangerous, very few players were capable of obtaining any treasures whatsoever . This situation had also resulted in the various large Guilds in giving up on the Ark .
However, Shi Feng never thought that he would actually come across an Armory in the outer region .
An Armory might not mean much to an ordinary player, but to a Guild, some of the more advanced weapons of war were even more valuable than Fragmented Legendary items .
"Forget it . We're giving up on the inner region . Let's take this Armory for now . " After giving the matter some thought, Shi Feng settled for the Armory . Right now, Zero Wing still lacked overall strength . It likely did not even have the power to defend a single city .
However, if they could find a few advanced weapons of war here, they might make up for Zero Wing's lack of combat power .
As long as they could construct and defend a city properly, the city's value would easily exceed that of two or three Fragmented Legendary items .
"Cola, you and Turtledove will tank the Patrols . Don't let them near us . Everyone else, look for any nearby traps . Fire Dance, you'll be responsible for unlocking the door," Shi Feng hurriedly commanded .
"Understood!"
Hearing this, everyone exploded into action .
The two Fallen Patrols were similar to those they had encountered at the entrance . They were both Level 63 Great Lords with 57,000,000 HP . However, Cola and Turtledove had long since familiarized themselves with the Patrol's attack patterns . Even without the Nine-star Polar Domain, they were capable of dealing with the Great Lords .
At the same time, Fire Dance began to unlock the door to the Armory .
As one of the Fallen Ark's secret rooms, the time it took to unlock the Armory was secondary . The crucial issue was that the extremely complex unlocking method . One would have to start the process all over again if they made a single mistake . Only after removing the various locks could one finally open the secret room .
Time passed quickly . After one minute, Fire Dance was only halfway through the door's locks .
"Guild Leader, two more Patrols are approaching!" Minor Wind announced anxiously .
If there were only three Fallen Patrols, their team could, more or less, manage . Four, however, would be a problem . As for trying to kill the Patrols, that would be considerably foolish . Special Lifeforms were immortal existences . Even after expending a lot of time and effort, the most they would get out of the endeavor was some EXP . After ten minutes, the Fallen Patrols would be back on their feet and ready to fight once again . Moreover, with each resurrection, the Fallen Patrols would become stronger . Only a lunatic would try to kill them .
"Wumian, you'll come with me! Once Fire finishes unlocking the door, rush into the room the room! Remember; do not touch anything inside!" Shi Feng commanded . He then dashed towards the two new Fallen Patrols with Ye Wumian .
Shi Feng wouldn't try to take on one of the Fallen Patrols directly . Instead, he activated Aura of Earth while deflecting the Patrol's attacks . This way, not only could he reduce the damage he received, but he could also alleviate the burden on the team's healers .
However, as time passed, a loud roar echoed from a distant corridor . The angry roar reverberated through the spacious corridor .
Already?! Shi Feng's expression darkened .
The abyssal monsters had awakened far sooner than he had anticipated .
If these monsters discovered his teams, none of them would get out of here alive .
…
Shi Feng's team wasn't the only one who had heard the roar . The Midnight Tea Party's members, who waited outside the Fallen Ark quietly, heard the deafening roar as well .
"Black Flame really didn't lie . " Breeze Wine could not help but inwardly celebrate when he heard this roar . "The fact that this roar is so deep and can reach all the way out here means that this monster should be Mythic rank at the very least . "
Fortunately, they had made the trade with Shi Feng . Otherwise, even if they had activated the Fallen Ark by themselves after obtaining their Tier 2 classes, they'd have no way of completing their quest .
The difference between Mythic monsters' strength and Grand Lords' was simply too massive . Even if their entire team reached Tier 2, it wasn't likely that they could defeat a Mythic monster of the same level, much less a Mythic monster of a higher level .
The other team members nodded in agreement . Despite Dark War and several other people's opinions about Shi Feng, they had to admit that Shi Feng had helped them enormously .
…
Meanwhile, before the Fallen Ark's Armory, Fire Dance finally unlocked the door to the secret room .
"Guild Leader, the door's open!"
"Good! You guys go in first! Cola, start slowly moving towards Armory!"
Opening the tightly-shut door was undoubtedly good news to Shi Feng . Immediately, he had everyone retreat towards the Armory .
As Shi Feng and the others reached the Armory's entrance, Shi Feng, Cola, and the other MTs felt their bodies become heavy . It was as if they had been submerged in mud; it was extremely difficult to move .
"Not good! Those monsters have arrived! Get inside, quickly!"
Shi Feng panicked . Immediately, he activated Heavenly Dragon's Power and recovered his ability to move . He then took an aqua-blue Magic Scroll from his bag . This Magic Scroll was none other than his sole remaining Tier 4 Magic Scroll .
The area they were in was not particularly large, but he understood how powerful those monsters were . Any players the abyssal monsters killed would not get off with just a lost level . If that were the case, players in the past wouldn't have given up on the Fallen Ark's treasures that easily . Rather, those abyssal monsters would extract the Immortal Souls from the players they killed . Not only would players lose two or three levels, but they also wouldn't be able to log into the game for over ten days .
"Humans? Those souls…heaven-blessed individuals? Wonderful! It's been so long since I've tasted an Immortal Soul!"
As Cola and the others rushed into the Armory, a cold voice reached their ears, making them shudder with fear . Suddenly, as if the Fallen Patrols had been struck, the team watched the Great Lords fly into the corridor's walls, their powerful metallic bodies flattening like a specimen under a microscope .
Aside from Shi Feng, none of the players could move .
"Why is such a powerful monster her?!"
The abyssal monster's might far exceeded Gentle Snow and the rest of the team's expectations .
Before the monster had even shown itself, it had already flattened the four Fallen Patrols into pancakes . They had become fish on a cutting board .
