Chapter 925 - King of Corrosion
The instant the team rushed down the staircase, the nearby Corrosive Beasts noticed them . The monsters turned their heads towards Shi Feng's group one after another, and quickly, they swarmed towards the group like a tidal wave .
The Corrosive Beasts were different from ordinary Elite monsters . A layer of corrosive fluid coated their bodies .
The corrosive fluid would reduce the Durability of anything that touched it, whether it be weapons or equipment .
If the equipment were Secret-Silver rank or below, it would be rendered useless after receiving a few of the Corrosive Beast's hits . Even Fine-Gold Equipment would only last a few more hits, and only Dark-Gold rank items could last any length of time .
Now that they had entered the plaza, there was no turning back . Against the tidal wave of Corrosive Beasts, the team's only option was to reach the teleportation array within the shortest time possible .
Shortly after the team met the Corrosive Beast army, although the Elite monsters did not break through the team's defensive formation, after several bouts, everyone wore grim expressions .
"My weapon!"
"My equipment!"
"What are these monsters?!"
Many of the players cried out in shock when they noticed their equipment and weapons' Durability .
Even after a brief moment of contact with the Corrosive Beasts, their Dark-Gold weapons' Durability had instantly decreased by one point . An ordinary Dark-Gold Weapon only had around 120 or so Durability .
Their Dark-Gold Equipment fared even worse . After receiving a few hits, their Strengthening Devices' Durability decreased by one point as well . It was obvious that, without the protection of the Strengthening Devices, their equipment would only last for a short time .
"Leader, look at that team . It seems that they came prepared," Fire Dance said as she pointed at the other team . As she was not standing in the other ring, attacking with her throwing knives, she could focus on their distant competition .
"That's a smart move," Shi Feng was slightly surprised when he turned to watch the other team .
Instead of using a circular defensive formation as they had, the other team employed a V-shaped formation; their most durable MTs served as the spearhead while the others followed closely behind . When the other team attacked, they would try to push the Corrosive Beasts standing before them away, forcing these monsters into the Corrosive Beasts behind them and buying some time . During this short period, the team pulled away from these monsters, with neither side having the opportunity to clash .
In addition, the magical classes in the middle of the formation used one Tier 2 Magic Scroll after another . The Magic Scrolls they used all contained AOE Spells . Whenever a Corrosive Beast King charged at the team, these magical classes used a series of Magic Scrolls to knock back the oncoming Corrosive Beasts and Beast Kings, allowing the team to move faster .
Despite both sides starting towards the Teleportation Magic Array at the same time, the other team was much faster .
"Boss Peerless, your method is really effective . We'll reach the teleportation array in half the time of our previous attempt . "
"That's right! Boss Peerless is the best! We'll definitely clear the entrance trial . "
"That team is pretty stupid . At this rate, we won't have to worry about them . "
"Hahaha! I hope they can clear this stage, though . The fact that they reached this stage shows that their weapons and equipment are excellent . We might be able to earn some top-tier equipment . "
Everyone on Peerless's team chatted cheerfully among themselves .
As both teams were fairly far apart, they couldn't tell who the other team was . However, as they had experienced the first stage's difficulty personal, they knew that the other team must possess high-quality weapons and equipment . Otherwise, reaching the second stage would have been impossible .
…
"Team Leader Ye Feng, we can't continue like this . These Corrosive Beasts are wearing out our equipment too quickly!" Youlan said anxiously after examining the team's situation . "Why don't we start using Magic Scrolls as well?"
The monsters' corrosive ability was much stronger than she had expected . If not for the Strengthening Devices, their equipment would have long since broken . However, there was still a long distance to the teleportation array . Moreover, more Corrosive Beast Kings approached .
In the beginning, they only had to deal with one or two at a time . Now, over a dozen attacked simultaneously . They weren't even a third of the way, yet so many Lords bombarded their team . Soon, they may have to face dozens of Corrosive Beast Kings .
The Corrosive Beast Kings were many times stronger than the Corrosive Beasts . Not only were they stronger in terms of Attributes, but their corrosive abilities were also stronger by a large margin . Even Cola, who used an Epic Shield, was having a difficult time against these Lords .
Currently, their only way to break through was to utilize the same method as the other team, which employed AOE Magic Scrolls . Although their team had not prepared to use these Scrolls, they had brought some with them .
Unfortunately, using large-scale destruction Spells would only add to the chaos of their situation .
Large-scale destruction Spells did not differentiate between friend and foe . Even if they cleared out the monsters in an area with the Spell, they would have to wait until the Spell's effects were over before proceeding . In the end, the monsters they had left behind would catch up while they wasted time .
"No rush . We'll use them after we reach the halfway point . " Shi Feng rejected Youlan's suggestion .
Using Magic Scrolls with impact effects was certainly a method that many teams had employed in Shi Feng's previous life . However, the second stage had another hidden mechanism . When two or more teams were halfway to the plaza's center, they would awaken the slumbering King of Corrosion, Sailu Tiban .
Now that the other team had passed the midway point, Shi Feng did not want to do the same too soon . At the very least, they should wait until the other team completed two-thirds of their journey . This way, the King of Corrosion would target that team rather than theirs, which had just entered the King's Domain .
Hearing Shi Feng's rejection, Youlan was momentarily speechless . However, since Shi Feng's leadership had already proven successful, it would not be wise to oppose his commands now .
As time passed, more Corrosive Beast Kings converged on both teams . In the blink of an eye, each team faced over a hundred Lords . Even Peerless's team began to slow due to the large number of monsters .
However, when Peerless's team was a quarter of a distance away from the teleportation array, Shi Feng and the others reached the halfway point .
Immediately, a pillar of green light rose from the center of the plaza, releasing a dense, green fog . As this fog passed over the area, everything it touched heavily corroded, eroding hundreds and thousands of little holes across the ground . The scene sent chills down everyone's spines .
"What's going on here?" Peerless stared at the pillar of light, his expression twisting into something ugly .
This was not his first time here . Rather, it was his third visit . The first time he had reached this plaza, his team had only crossed two-thirds of the distance before they fell under the overwhelming sea of monsters . On their second try, while they had forged through this stage after many difficulties, they had not encountered anything like this . As he stared at the pillar of green light, he involuntarily shivered, his mind continuously warning him that it was extremely dangerous to continue forward .
As everyone was caught in their stupor, a ferocious monster that stood over twenty meters high emerged from the green light . This monster was nearly three times larger than the Corrosive Beast Kings, and green scales covered its entire body . A green liquid seeped from the gaps between its scales . When the liquid touched the ground, it ate through the earth, creating a large hole . A green fog also circled the monsters humongous body .
This was none other than the King of Corrosion, Sailu Tiban!
Seeing this, everyone involuntarily gulped in fear .
"Why has such a monster appeared?!" Peerless's complexion paled as he stared Sailu Tiban .
