Ye Luo and his group had witnessed the power of the Ninth Demon God, Demon Sword Thousand Slasher, so they naturally knew just how formidable bosses on the level of the Ten Great Demon Gods were. Yet King of Earth was an existence comparable to the Ten Great Demon Gods, while the team led by Dark Night had managed to kill it. This left Hei Bai Qi and the others both shocked and puzzled.
San Mei Shi offered some explanations. For example, King of Earth was only comparable to the Ten Great Demon Gods, meaning it was weaker than the Tenth Demon God. The Tenth Demon God was significantly weaker than the Ninth Demon God, while King of Earth was another step below the Tenth Demon God. Furthermore, Dark Night and his group had greatly improved their strength. Under such circumstances, killing it was still possible—although the benefits Dark Night and the others had gained yesterday were far inferior to Ye Luo and his group's, they had still improved their equipment and skills, and also obtained some pet equipment. Their strength was thus much greater than it had been yesterday.
"Of course, it's also possible that Dark Night and his group used some external help, such as NPCs or quest-related items. Don't forget that Five-Colored Divine Bull and his group were able to kill the Tenth Demon God long ago. Not to mention that Dark Night and his group can now kill a boss somewhat weaker than the Tenth Demon God," San Mei Shi added.
After hearing San Mei Shi's explanation, everyone found it somewhat easier to accept. At that moment, another system announcement interrupted their discussion.
"Ding~!"
