The cave was pitch-dark. Once everyone had entered, a magical barrier sealed the entrance. Players could neither enter nor leave unless they found the mechanism to open it.
Even second-class experts could barely see thirty yards ahead in the dim environment. That was extremely disadvantageous for players.
Thirty yards might have seemed far, but to Lord-ranked monsters, it took at most two seconds to close that distance. If a group of Lord monsters rushed them at once, even second-class expert players would be too slow to react and would be injured.
"Now that the mission has begun, everyone be careful. There are many forks here, so make sure you keep up." Mo Qiubai began directing them. "Lin Ya, scout ahead. Blue Claw, make sure Ye Feng is protected. The monsters inside are nothing like those outside. Ye Feng, be careful too. Anyone without Sea God's Favor will suffer heavy suppression here. You absolutely cannot fight these monsters one-on-one."
Shi Feng said nothing in response to Mo Qiubai's reminder and merely nodded.
The suppression on players within this ruin was indeed severe. The instant the cave entrance was sealed by the magical barrier, it was as though this place had turned into another world, and the suppressive force surged dramatically.
His physique was now only sixty percent of its original level. His basic attributes had not changed, but the sensitivity of his five senses had plummeted. It would already be good if he could exert half his normal combat power. No wonder Lin Ya and Mo Qiubai had repeatedly warned him earlier.
Under such suppression, even second-class experts probably would not be a match for a Lord monster of the same level. If they encountered a group of Lord monsters, death would be practically guaranteed. Even Domain Realm experts would fare
