Second Golden Conqueror (4th Update)
The next morning, a light drizzle began.
After breakfast, I hugged Lin Qingying and rushed to her car. After helping her into the car, I said, "I have a mission to go out today, and I might not be able to get back tonight. Make sure you eat well."
"Um!"
She nodded emphatically.
I glanced at Xiao Ai, who was driving. "You're in charge of keeping an eye on her."
Xiao Ai said expressionlessly, "Agreement One."
Well, so you think you're all grown up now? You think a married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl?
He watched the white Bentley drive away with a disgruntled expression, then got into the driver's seat of the S680, started the engine, and headed straight for the Player Black Market.
In the morning, the Player Black Market was bustling with people, mostly players heading to various wilderness areas to level up.
Since the release of version 4.0, the level cap has been raised to 80, and players' enthusiasm for leveling up has soared to unprecedented levels, making the black market quite lively early in the morning.
I had already taken care of all my supplies when I returned last time, so I headed to the Phase Teleportation Array and said to the Teleportation Array administrator, "To the Land of Revival, thank you."
Immediately, a group of players around looked on with envy.
The Land of Revival is a very "niche" map. It's considered niche because only two players in the entire Huaining City meet the requirements to enter this map, and one of them doesn't go. So, I'm the only one in the city who needs to teleport to this location.
After paying a teleportation fee of 5000, step into the Teleportation Array.
"Brush!"
With a sway, the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped by at least twenty degrees, and they found themselves in a map quite similar to the Lost Land. Opening the large map, they discovered that this map actually bordered the Lost Land. The entire map was blood red, exuding an aura that warned living beings to stay away.
He raised his hand and drew his Power Sword. With a flick of his wrist, the Power Sword was activated, and his Yuan energy surged, condensing into armor around him. In the blink of an eye, he entered Combat Form.
"Brother, be careful!"
A player guarding the teleportation Teleportation Array called out from afar, "The Land of Revival is dangerous; don't get lost inside."
Thank you!
Without looking back, I walked forward and arrived in front of the Golden Sky Curtain. I reached out and touched the canopy, and a ripple appeared on it. My palm easily slipped inside.
[System notification: Your current combat power level is 128552, meeting the requirements to enter the map!]
Take a step forward to enter the map.
The moment they stepped into the Land of Revival, it felt as if they had entered two completely different worlds. A large canyon appeared in front of them, with sharp screams coming from it. There was a strange feeling that the cries of monkeys on both banks were incessant, as if a hundred million Tarzans lived in this valley.
The canyon divides the terrain of the Land of Revival in two. One must cross this canyon to truly enter the Land of Revival. Moreover, the canyon is long, and the feasibility of detouring is extremely low.
There's no other way but to force my way through!
Take a deep breath, slide down the hillside, and head straight for the depths of the canyon.
The mountain was rugged and covered with all sorts of unknown wildflowers, but I was preoccupied with leveling up and had no interest in picking flowers. So I picked up my sword and slid down, falling straight into the canyon.
About twenty minutes later, the noise around me became clearer and clearer.
Looking into the distance, there seemed to be a dense clump of sea lettuce swaying at the bottom of the canyon. I was immediately puzzled. Could someone be doing aquaculture here? That couldn't be, could it?
Two minutes later, upon closer inspection, I was immediately horrified!
There were no seaweeds at all, but rather a group of spiny snakes with their heads raised and necks outstretched. They swayed with the wind in the canyon, rising and falling with it as if following some kind of natural rule.
Just one glance triggered a simultaneous phobia of trypophobia and a phobia of cold-blooded animals like snakes!
"Hiss~~"
The swarm of hydralisks began to move. Their sensory range was incredibly wide, far surpassing that of the hydralisks in the insect nest. They sensed my presence from almost a hundred meters away, and so they swarmed together and moved towards me.
Furthermore, these hydralisks living deep in the canyon seemed to possess some kind of ability to exchange pheromones; when one group moved, the whole group moved along with it, and in the blink of an eye, all the hydralisks in the canyon swam towards me.
We have to cut through the chaos quickly and force our way through, otherwise the hydras will only increase in number and eventually exhaust me to death here.
With a swing of his longsword, he activated a series of buffs and skills, including Battle Roar and Chaos Blade, before unleashing an Explosive Charge into the swarm of serpents. He then charged toward the opposite bank while hacking wildly with his sword.
The Hydralisks, Blue BOSS with less than 100,000 health, aren't that strong; it's just that there are too many of them. They swarm in like a dark mass, sending chills down your spine.
Take advantage of the peak Hydralisk swarm and unleash Furnace Vortex + Power Sword Storm combo to wipe them out!
White light burst forth, and countless rays of experience surged in from all directions. It felt amazing! Moreover, Blue Treasure Chest were falling into my storage space with a clatter. It felt like harvesting dates in autumn, a truly satisfying experience!
Unfortunately, after rushing forward for a short distance, one encounters the turbulent river deep within the canyon.
Hydralisks can swim and launch attacks on the surface of the water, but I can't do that. I don't have the skill of walking on water like Iron Palm. I just rushed forward a few steps and felt the river water gurgling into my mouth. I quickly switched to underwater combat mode.
"Hiss~~"
Under the gleaming light of the Power Sword and equipment, hydra snakes rushed into the river, their faces contorted with rage as they attacked from all directions, tearing and biting relentlessly.
It's fortunate that I was the one facing such Nightmare Difficulty scene; if it were delicate young ladies like Lin Qingying, Lu Xiaobei, or Cheng Shuang, they would probably have fainted from fright.
No doubt about it, go for it, beat them to a pulp!
The saying "living in Worldly Uncontested" is true. Grinding monsters on the outskirts of the Land of Revival is actually a good choice. Although Hydralisks give little experience, they are at least level 70 blue monsters. If you can't beat them with single ones, you can use numbers to your advantage.
If ammunition is plentiful, a skilled Firepower Specialist can focus on farming Hydralisks here using explosives, and since the Hydralisks keep coming in endlessly and automatically, the leveling efficiency would probably be no worse than entering the Land of Revival, and might even be slightly better.
Unfortunately, Cai Cai and Fatty's combat power level is still quite far from 90,000. There's nothing we can do but take it one step at a time.
Actually, Kou Mei and Aji are also suitable for this place. Kou Mei has Chaos Beast Mount with boundless magic power, and the Star Speaker's AOE skills will be very effective here. Aji's Fearless Warrior can activate its super greatsword mode, and its chaotic hacking will definitely be quite effective here.
Furthermore, the Hydralisks' attacks are very weak, barely enough to tickle a Dreadnought, and certainly won't break through its defenses.
Ten minutes later, after crossing the canyon, a Bio-Optical Invisibility left the swarm of hydralisks behind and sprinted forward, finally reaching the flat land on the other side of the Grand Canyon more than twenty minutes later.
I drew my sword and moved forward; the wilderness was utterly silent.
This place is barren, which is completely at odds with the name of the map.
A cold wind blew, cutting like a knife to the face, while the Essence Furnace accelerated its operation, rapidly providing energy to the body.
Not long after, a low growl came from ahead, followed by a large red dot appearing on the minimap.
The boss is here!
Amidst the deafening roar, a towering figure appeared on the horizon of the desolate wasteland ahead. Its lower body consisted of a rusty chassis and massive wheels covered in steel thorns, while its upper body resembled that of Power Armor warrior, complete with an exaggeratedly shaped bull-horned helmet and thick steel arms gripping a giant meteor hammer and a battle axe respectively.
Subspace creatures, Chaos Beast!
But it wasn't an ordinary Chaos Beast; this one was larger, and the eyes of the undead in the cockpit glowed blood red, somewhat like the undead in World of Warcraft, looking as if it had died with its eyes wide open.
A few seconds later, its properties appeared.
Chaos Beast Leader, Level 75, Gold BOSS!
"Everyone who lives must die!"
The Chaos Beast Commander roared, its body spinning rapidly, and without a word, it hurled its meteor hammer at us!
"Brush--"
The meteor hammer flew through the air, while the iron chain trailing behind it stretched wildly through the hollow arm of the Chaos Beast Commander!
"A mere little gold coin dares to be so arrogant!"
I chuckled, then suddenly lowered my body, using the Glory Barrier to block the attack. With a loud "thud," the meteor hammer veered off course and slammed into the ground, while I stumbled back several steps, shield and all.
"Die!"
This Chaos Beast was truly arrogant. Its wheels spun rapidly, and it ran even faster than Kou Mei's Chaos Beast Mount. Its battle axe slashed down, aiming straight for vital points, and it roared with a ferocious expression, "What a Boiling Thing!"
This is really annoying! I haven't even made a move yet, and you're already mocking me?
So, when the opponent's battle axe was less than 10 centimeters from his nose, he used a Step Slash to shift to the opponent's side and rear, unleashing a full combo of Battle Roar, Chaos Blade, Tian Gong Kai Wu, and Overpowering Momentum, instantly sending the opponent flying with a Rising Dragon Slash!
The Chaos Beast roared, and as its body soared into the air, it was hit by a Consecutive Slashes and Ash Sweep, instantly boosting its attack power. Then, it flicked its Left Hand and threw out Chaos Flying Blade!
"Sizzle!"
Golden electricity surged, directly short-circuiting the Chaos Beast's power system.
Again!
After unleashing a Shockwave with his longsword, he quickly activated Furnace Vortex and Power Sword Storm, then launched a series of slashes amidst the brilliance of Power Sword Storm. In an instant, the sword light was so intense that parts began to fall from the Chaos Beast's body. The meteor hammer and battle axe were cut in the blink of an eye, and the Power Armor was also quickly sliced apart, making it completely vulnerable!
Of course, this also proves one point.
As my equipment gets closer and closer to being fully Gold Equipment, fighting Gold BOSS becomes much easier. This applies to the Chaos Beast Leader, as well as the Lurker and the Wyvern.
In less than two minutes, the Chaos Beast leader let out a miserable howl, its body began to collapse, and the wheels inside flew off and rolled a long way across the wilderness.
"Snap!"
A Gold Treasure Chest fell into the storage space; open it immediately!
[Congratulations! You have successfully opened your [BOSS Ability Crystal] and obtained the item: [Conqueror-V Improved Type] (Quality: Cataclysm Tier, S8, Gold)!]
No... another round??
