"Honey" looked at my achievements and laughed heartily, saying, "Actually, training here is quite good. Usually, where can we find such a dense group of monsters? And with our current strength, it's practically impossible to kill so many advanced beasts. Look at competing against the sky, you found so many good things, surely you can sell them for a good price. Why don't we just keep training like this?"
The Tiger King also laughed, but when he turned to see the worried looks on the Kazha people's faces, he couldn't suppress his laughter anymore. The Tiger King's gaze landed on the chief, and suddenly he asked, "Chief, this suit of clothes, in my opinion, might be a golden-level set. I wonder where it came from and why your people have such poor equipment?"
The chief replied, "Actually, our tribe used to have many skilled artisans. Unfortunately, they all died in that battle ten years ago. And the other items they made were also damaged in the war. Only this suit of clothes was made by an ancient chief who infused his vitality into it, becoming the 'Shepherd God Set'. After the war ended, this was the only well-preserved piece of equipment."
The chief sighed again, "Actually, this suit of clothes is not complete. When the previous chief died, the soldier who was guarding his body later also died in the battle. So a wild wolf seized the opportunity to bite off his left hand. The left ring of the set was thus missing. If that ring was still there, this set of equipment would have even more powerful power."
I heard this and suddenly felt something stir in my heart. Somehow, I recalled the ring I got from killing the Wolf King.
After careful reflection, when I first saw the Wolf King, I was very curious. I had never seen a boss without minions nearby. That Wolf King gave me the feeling of being an outsider lone wolf. And that grassland was very different from the surrounding environment, as if it was something moved from somewhere else.
The ring, could it be that I killed that Wolf King and it swallowed it? It can't be so coincidental, can it?
I quickly took off the left ring and handed it to the old chief, "Look at this ring..." The old chief carefully examined it and exclaimed, "This ring is a little similar to the one on my right hand!"
The chief tried putting on the ring and suddenly a white light emitted from his finger, making us have to close our eyes. After the light disappeared, the system message appeared: "The left ring of the Shepherd God" washes away the 'wolf blood curse' and restores it to its original state!
Looking at the ring again, the outer layer had fallen off, revealing the magnificent patterns inside. The brilliance was clearly transformed into a golden-level item! At the same time, a powerful aura emanated from the chief, making the "death aura" around us disappear completely.
The chief trembled with excitement, and several warriors also cheered loudly, shouting, "The Shepherd God returns! The Shepherd God returns!"
We excitedly asked the chief to show off his new power. The chief said excitedly, "The set has additional attributes: increases mental power by 10, automatically generates a mid-level protective shield, and has the four skills of the Shepherd God. I'm only 40 levels, so I can only use the first one: 'Green Sea'."
As he said this, the chief extended his hands towards the distance and chanted loudly, "The green of life, cover the entire world!"
In an instant, a green expanse appeared in front of us. Carefully observing, it was grass, suddenly growing endlessly from the barren land. Centered around the chief's feet, the grass spread out like waves, and all the monsters began to become restless and agitated, as if trying to escape something. I couldn't believe that such ordinary grass could have such a great impact on them.
I thought about it, the grass itself had no lethal power, but the life force contained in this magnificent magic was in opposition to the "Niu Shou Great God" who cast the "death aura" and the control spell over the monsters. Therefore, it would cause the monsters to be troubled by both kinds of auras simultaneously. Indeed, as the grass took effect, many monsters began to leave their original positions and head towards the periphery. This indicated that the "Niu Shou Great God" was no longer able to control them. And the ones that fled from the desert first were the more intelligent monsters.
The number of the remaining monsters decreased, and the tiger kings cheered. But I lost my composure. These grass seemed to be driving away the darkness in my heart. The green color, like an ocean, forcefully assaulted the deepest part of my heart, and the darkness that covered my consciousness gradually receded, only to be replenished by another patch soon. Although it did not significantly reduce, it had already given me a huge hope!
While I was in a daze, the tiger king suddenly poked me: "Quickly go, the monsters have all left. The path ahead is clear. Don't delay any longer, the chieftain's magic power won't last much longer!"
I quickly followed the others and flew towards the altar as fast as I could. The chieftain was then carried by two warriors and was still casting spells, but his face already had beads of sweat. And the green sea formed by the grass had expanded to its limit and began to show signs of instability.
There were still about 40 meters to the altar, and the chieftain finally couldn't hold on anymore. His whole body was exhausted and collapsed on a warrior's back. The grassland lost the support of the chieftain's magic power and instantly lost its color under the influence of "Death's Aura". All the grass turned dry! The monsters that had been far away from us suddenly let out long howls and all rushed towards the altar. Everyone's face turned pale. Now, unlike before, we couldn't just slaughter the monsters one by one. Now the monsters were attacking us actively. Even if we were all at level 50, we couldn't hold out for even a few minutes in the face of this tide-like army and various large-scale magic spells!
We desperately ran towards the altar, and the distance of about 40 meters seemed too long for us. When we finally reached the altar, we realized that we couldn't relax yet. Because around the altar was a magic shield with strong defense power!
The tiger kings and others desperately used their strongest skills to break through the magic shield. The monster's howls were approaching. We felt the ground shaking violently, and I even heard the teeth-clashing sounds of "Special Ventilation" as they fought desperately. The sky, at some point, was also covered with dark clouds, and the terrifying atmosphere pressed on each of us.
At this moment, I became calm. The hope that had been ignited by the green life had already filled me with hope. How could I be so easily timid!
I took out the oil balls from the "Big Belly Demon" in my belly. Each of these oil balls was as heavy as a child. I used all my strength to throw them out. Thirty or so oil balls scattered in all directions. Then, I fired fireballs.
Each fireball hit the oil balls, and they quickly melted, with grease flowing. Ten meters in front of us, a shiny "oil pool" formed. The oil surface was burning, and soon ignited the surrounding dry grass. The fire finally spread.
The game console seemed to be targeting us players. The wind on the prairie also intensified at this time. More importantly, this wind was blowing towards the direction of the monsters! I excitedly cast the "Gale Art", adding a little of my own power. Looking at the terrifying fire dragon swirling towards the charging monsters, in my red eyes, it seemed that I already had the crazy scene of experience spilling over.
The prairie fire was truly a terrifying thing that neither humans nor beasts could resist. Just now, the advanced monsters left earlier, so those in front were all low-level monsters. Once these monsters plunged into the fire sea, they would wail and turn into black smoke. However, there was no experience spilling over as I had expected.
Originally, because the first few days of the game, there were a large number of players using the game's super authenticity to come up with a way to burn the monsters to upgrade, so the system brain quickly made adjustments. Naturally, the monsters burned to death would not count towards the scorers of the person who set the fire. And for the monsters above the level of demons, they had resistance to natural fire, and the monster level above the magics didn't even fear natural fire. Similar adjustments were also made for terms like "flood" and "poisonous drug killing". At the same time, if a monster is burned to death, poisoned to death, drowned to death, or thrown to death, no items, money, or corpses will remain.
Moreover, since "traps" are favored by many players, they remain but are adjusted. The traps are given the attribute of durability. When the monsters break the traps to a certain extent, the trap's power decreases or completely fails. This avoids some players constantly using traps in areas where monsters respawn quickly and in large numbers, which would cause an imbalance in the game.
Due to these corrections, the upgrade speed of some advanced players on the ranking list has significantly slowed down.
I quickly noticed this adjustment, especially when I saw that the demon beasts only suffered minor injuries when entering the flames. I knew that this fire wouldn't last long. Looking back, with the efforts of the clan leader and the two warriors, the protective shield was finally broken. A stone door on the altar automatically opened, revealing a passage that led straight to the depths of the darkness. Time was pressing, so we no longer considered the dangers involved. We took torches and stepped into the passage.
