Relying on the area Qin Feng had cleared, Wang Meng and his group of six finally caught their breath.
"This Forsaken Gods Continent is insane, why are there so many monsters?"
"Luckily, the big guy cleared this area, otherwise, we might all have died and had to start over..."
"I think we should hold off on exploring for now. Let's wait until all our team members reach level 10, then we can act together."
"I'm a bit curious, if we die here, where do we respawn?"
The group chatted for a while, developing a sense of awe for the ruins of the city.
Just moments ago, dozens of monsters had surged toward them. If they hadn't run fast enough, they'd all be corpses by now...
Originally, the six of them had split up to lead various official players in leveling up.
Now that they had reached the continent, they decided to gather and scout the area.
They hadn't expected it to be so dangerous!
At this moment, Gu Yixue switched her perspective back to her white owl.
The owl flew into the sky, carefully surveying the area, making Gu Yixue gasp in surprise once more.
"The monsters are really dead everywhere..."
"Too fierce!"
"Wait, there are several bodies up ahead, and there's a gray glow beneath them... Could there be loot that the big guy didn't pick up?"
Gu Yixue was astonished.
An Yu, hearing this, speculated, "Maybe his backpack is full? Shadow is just one person, with his efficiency in killing monsters, there must be a lot of stuff he can't carry..."
Gu Yixue nodded, "There are a few gray items left behind. Should we go over?"
Wang Meng said, "Hold on, I'll contact Shadow."
...
Qin Feng was busy clearing out monsters in the Land of Purification.
As he was clearing the fourth room, he received a private message from Wang Meng: "Big brother, we saw some items outside that you didn't pick up. How about we collect them and pay you based on their value?"
Qin Feng quickly replied, "Sure."
Thanks to his Spatial Ring and a 7-slot Storage Backpack he had found, he had a total of 34 storage slots.
But for Qin Feng, who had the Greedy Hand, even 34 slots weren't enough.
As he fought his way through, he left behind five pieces of gray inferior equipment.
In fact, anyone who had reached level 10 andarrived at the Forsaken Gods Continent wouldn't lack inferior equipment.
As for inferior skill books, Qin Feng picked them all up; some skill books were still useful.
Since Wang Meng wanted those five pieces ofinferior equipment and was willing to pay, Qin Feng decided to let him have them.
"I'll contact you guys in an hour; I have a batch of equipment to sell."
With that, Qin Feng closed the private chat window.
He continued to clear the Land of Purification!
His backpack was already full, and the loot from the monsters was scattered everywhere, but he didn't care.
After all, once he took down the Platinum-level BOSS, the entire underground palace would be his.
As for before that...
If anyone approached the entrance to the palace, Qin Feng would be alerted.
After all, there was a Silver-level Devout Believer guarding the entrance.
Even if a stealthy player came, they would have to open the stone door to enter the Land of Purification, and the Devout Believer would notice...
As Qin Feng continued to clear monsters.
Wang Meng and his group logged off.
They needed to report the situation on the Forsaken Gods Continent, not only to the officials in Jianghai City but also to higher authorities in the Great Xia Nation!
Half an hour later.
Not only in Jianghai City but also in many other cities worldwide, channels to the Forsaken Gods Continent had opened.
However...
The players who teleported to the continent didn't bring back good news but rather a series of disasters!
"Our players from Magic City arrived at a city ruin!"
"Our players from Chaoshan did too..."
"But it seems like each city's players arrive at different city ruins?"
"Damn it, the city ruins are full of monsters. I've died twice already and can't take it anymore, so I logged off!"
"We need more people to explore; otherwise, it's just 'monsters bullying players'!"
"I'm curious about how the global number one, Shadow, is doing?"
"He's still level 10, so it can't be going smoothly for him either, right?"
...
At this moment.
Qin Feng had already cleared all the small monsters in the underground palace of the Land of Purification!
He had cleared over forty halls and thousands of small rooms.
He had killed over four hundred small monsters!
Plus four Bronze-level BOSSes and two Silver-level BOSSes, giving Qin Feng over 80,000 experience points and boosting his Evolution Points to 205!
For ordinary players, it would take days and nights to grind that much experience.
After all, ordinary players wouldn't dare provoke large numbers of monsters and could only slowly pick off stragglers, which was inefficient...
"Just 5 points short of evolving the Greedy Hand."
"Perfect, taking down that Platinum-level Guardian BOSS should do it."
Qin Feng heard the sound of elements gathering, like the crackling of electricity, coming from the center of the underground palace.
He had spent nine years in this place in his previous life!
He knew it like the back of his hand.
He navigated several corridors with ease, heading toward the center.
Soon, he arrived at a large room that had been sealed.
The room was about thirty meters long and wide, with an altar in the middle. On the altar stood an elemental creature surrounded by lightning, resembling a human form, its body composed entirely of purple lightning!
——
[Purifier Faisal (Lv15)!]
[Grade: Platinum-level]
[Description: The guardian of the Land of Purification. Defeat it, and you will become the master of the Land of Purification!]
——
The highest level of monsters in the city ruins was level 15.
This 'Purifier Faisal' was the highest-level monster in the city ruins and the highest-grade BOSS.
"I'm level 10 now, so there's some damage reduction against this BOSS, but it's not a big deal..."
"If I remember correctly, this BOSS has a total of 750,000 health and three phases."
Most importantly, this BOSS had level 2 anti-stealth capabilities.
So Qin Feng needed to upgrade his stealth level to 3 before confronting this guy!
"In my previous life, this BOSS's single-target lightning damage was too high. Even with a full set of Gold equipment, my Warrior almost couldn't withstand it."
"But now... I don't need to withstand its single-target skills at all!"
With a twist of the Plague Blade in his hand, Qin Feng moved like a phantom and instantly entered the room.
Gift of Liberation!
Shadow Blink Slash!
-3576!
-3549!
-9669 (Weak Point Attack)!
...
As Qin Feng unleashed his skill, he turned into a shadow, passing through the BOSS and entering stealth mode again!
The Purifier Faisal, its body crackling with lightning, had blue eyes filled with electricity. Before it could react, nine damage numbers appeared above its head!
Moreover, its entire form was tinged with a layer of green.
The next second.
-5364!
-5323!
-14503!
...
Another nine higher damage numbers appeared above the BOSS's head.
This was the active effect of the Gift of Liberation, causing 'Throat Slash' damage, which would last for three seconds!
