Beast Stampede

"The Temple offerings are all Legendary-Quality Water of Life." After William put the 10 bottles of Water of Life into his Space Ring, he gradually fell into deep thought.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, the source of the Water of Life is the World Tree!

This basically confirms that these offerings were likely presented by the Elves to the Deity.

The Mythic Era definitely had Elves.

But under the rule of the Gods, for just one of the Thunder God Palace to offer such a large amount of Water of Life, the Elves probably weren't doing too well.

But after a moment's thought, William realized that perhaps the Mythic Era was different from today, and maybe there were other things that could produce the Water of Life.

After all, "Water of Life" is just a general term; any liquid that can increase vitality can be called "Water of Life."

The only difference is the quality.

For example, the Water of Life from which the World Tree originated is at least of Epic quality.

"What are these?" Burning Ash picked up five more large bottles filled with a pale blue, crystalline liquid, which seemed to have Electric Arc flowing within it, a liquid that never faded.

William took it in his hand and tossed Insight out with a surprised look.

[Thunder Water]

[Quality: Epic]

[Quantity: 100 drops]

[Effect: The more Thunder Water you drink, the greater the chance of activating Thunder Talent or enhancing existing Thunder Talent and Thunder Attribute.]

[Restriction: Awakened Thunder Attribute]

[Limit: 1000 drops]

(Friendly reminder: Thunder God Happy Water, it'll give you Beer.)

"Truly Thunder Water!" William's eyes were filled with joy. He never expected to encounter such a treasure, and he ignored the Mainframe's teasing.

After all, while Thunder Water is a beverage for Thunder God, its effects on him are immense.

William held it tightly in his hand. He didn't care too much about equipment, but he really liked treasures that could improve permanent attributes and passive Talent.

"Five bottles equal 500 drops. If I'm lucky, I might upgrade my Talent; if I'm unlucky, I can still increase my Thunder Attribute."

"Let's see if there's anything else." William and Burning Ash will definitely take everything from the Offering Hall.

Currently, besides the Mana Gemstone, these are the only two treasures they have. After rummaging through boxes and cabinets, opening almost every one they could, they found nothing else.

"So poor?" The Prince. Leaving aside the Mana Gemstone, the Water of Life alone had already made him a fortune, but for the Thunder God Palace, these offerings were still considered meager...

After the two left the Offering Hall, Burning Ash looked at the other three branch halls and could vaguely sense that some danger was approaching.

William wasn't stupid either; since becoming an NPC, he also possessed this perceptive ability.

So he closed his eyes and released his soul Mana.

A few seconds passed.

William gave a soft groan, feeling dizzy. He frowned and walked towards the second branch hall on the left.

Push this aside.

"Okay, but wouldn't the adult like to try again?"

"Try what?"

"Is there any danger inside?" Burning Ash swallowed hard. The Lord had just tested the area with Soul Magic and suffered a backlash. Who knew if there were any large monsters inside this branch hall?

What if the enemy is hiding and launches a surprise attack after they push open the palace doors?

Should I support this?

I'm clearly only Intermediate-Class Professional...

"Smack!"

Burning Ash scratched his head, looking resentful.

They keep hitting my head. My face still hurts terribly when I woke up just now. Do they really think I don't know who hit me? Is it some kind of Undead?

William glanced at him, ignoring his thoughts, and said bluntly, "You're such a busybody. If you don't push the door open, do you expect me to?"

This guy in front of me has over a hundred points of Luck Value, several times higher than the average Luck Value of everyone else in Dawn City. Burning Ash Ember might not necessarily die while scouting, him scouting is a sure death sentence...

"Push! Push! Push!" Burning Ash trembled as he pushed open the palace door once more.

Swish.

The Magic Barrier vanished the instant the gate opened.

The Magic Lamp inside the hall lit up again.

Neither of them was attacked.

And the things inside this hall were emitting a dazzling blue light almost constantly!

That one second.

William's heart almost stopped beating!

"Thunder Essence!"

"There's actually something like this?"

"Is Thunder God Palace really that rich? It's not exactly poor, is it...?"

William strode over and stared at the enormous crystal artifact in the center, which was filled with the Thunder Essence. The Thunder Essence gathered together, like a blue Ocean of Thunder, with surging waves and crackling lightning.

[Thunder Essence]

[Quality: Legendary]

[Weight: 30000g]

[Function: Placing equipment into the container has a certain chance to upgrade the quality of equipment with Thunder Attribute.]

[Limit: 3 times]

"What is this?" Seeing that there were no enemies in the hall, Burning Ash finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'll keep this item for now to upgrade my equipment, and look at other things later." William suppressed his elation; it was actually Legendary-Quality Thunder Essence.

If he's really lucky, he might be able to upgrade three Legendary Equipment...

However, this kind of probability-based thing was still a bit of a trap for him, so William immediately decided to hand over all the equipment to the Little Princess and let her personally enhance it for him.

That's right. After the High-Class equipment is forged, I'll let Annie warm it up for a few days first. I won't even touch the equipment myself before giving it to her. I don't believe I can't make a few Legendary pieces.

"Forging Legendary Equipment is no easy feat. Even the Blacksmith in Dawn City can only forge weapons of Epic quality. In addition, the materials for Legendary-Quality weapons are too expensive. But I never expected that Thunder God Palace would have something like this." William stroked his chin and put it into his Space Ring.

They continued their frantic search for other items, their eyes gleaming.

This side hall wasn't Offering Hall, but it was pretty much the same.

It's full of treasures related to equipment.

There are 300 gems of various attributes, all of which are high-level, with Thunder Gem being the most numerous.

Ten valuable Dragonblood Whetstone can not only reduce weapon durability consumption but also increase weapon attack power by 20%.

800 catties of Mithril.

1000 jin of Orichalcum.

700 catties of Gold Essence.

1000 jin of Thunder Crystal.

"Tsk tsk, even the Purple Gold weighs 500 jin?" William licked his lips. If Magic Metal had different grades...

That would roughly mean Mithril = Orichalcum = Gold Essence. The first three have different effects, but Purple Gold is superior to the other three metals.

Because no matter what materials are used to craft equipment, adding some Purple Gold will greatly increase the equipment's quality cap!

In short, the more Purple Gold you add, the greater the chance of increasing the quality cap!

But that's not the most crucial point!

The key function of the Purple Gold is to advance one's rank!

Even if some equipment has already been completed.

If you use Magic to infuse Purple Gold into it, there's a high chance you can upgrade the equipment's tier.

Of course, this is on the premise that you have enough equipment materials to upgrade it.

If it's just Low-Class equipment crafted from Iron Essence, it can only improve its quality, and is far from being able to be upgraded to intermediate level.

"With so many rare metals, if we use them properly, we could forge a mid-quality set for an Legion!" Burning Ash exclaimed with slight surprise.

What? Silver Gear? No, Silver Gear is no longer enough for this prince.

William glanced at the hopeless Burning Ash. "You call yourself Legendary Boss? Seeing so many treasures, all you want to do is forge Silver Gear?"

No future.

"As for the 1,000 jin of Thunder Crystal..." William scratched his head. There weren't many Lightning Element Professional in the entire Dawn City, so there was nowhere to use them to craft equipment on a large scale.

While the two were still engrossed in plundering the Temple...

The Mana Scroll at William's waist suddenly gave a soft hum.

His Prince opened it, his expression immediately changing. "Quickly, get out of here! The beasts have rioted!"

"The camp was attacked by a horde of beasts?"

"Bullshit, a horde of beasts is charging this way." William's words had barely left his mouth when his figure transformed into a bolt of Thunder Light and vanished before the latter's eyes.

Burning Ash was stunned for a moment, then shouted anxiously, "My lord, wait for me! The beast horde... block them inside! Am I doomed?"

No one responded.

By the time the Burning Ash reached the corridor, the Thunder Light had already vanished at the end of it...

"..." At this moment, even the Burning Ash could only unleash their full speed.

When he rushed out of the gate, he saw that the entire canyon was almost filled with Magical Beast.

Many Magical Beast don't even bother climbing down from the edge of the canyon; instead, they leap directly from hundreds of meters above, even breaking their legs, frantically scrambling towards this spot.

Densely packed, thousands upon thousands.

Lord, wielding the Thunder Spear, sweeps through the enemy ranks!

Lotner, covered in blood and with a ferocious look in his eyes, pushed open the door and roared, "What are you looking at? Close the door!" when he saw Burning Ash emerge.

"Push!" Burning Ash came to his senses and immediately tried to push up the massive door, which weighed an unknown amount of weight, but it wouldn't budge an inch.

Lotner's neck veins Vein, and he gritted his teeth, hissing in a low voice, "I'm using force! I'm using as much force as I can! It was easy to pry open the door, but why is it so hard now!"

"There's a stone behind the door." Burning Ash suddenly let go of his hand, glancing at him. "You did that on purpose, didn't you?"

"..." Lotner twitched his lips. He was afraid that the giant gate would close automatically and he would have to use the Mana Crystal to restart the Temple, so he placed two large stones to block the giant gate. He had forgotten about it when the beast horde attacked.

Boom!

With the moment the giant gate closed.

Streams of Mana flowed across the Temple before disappearing completely.

at the same time.

The herd of beasts was stunned.

Even the Thunder Wolf that William kicked away didn't retaliate; it was even a little confused, wondering why it was here.

Within the canyon.

Tens of thousands of low- and Mid-Tier Monster remained completely still.

William couldn't help but swallow hard at the sight. He could escape, and the High-Class beings could fly, but Lotner and Burning Ash would probably have to be found in the shit.

And just as these Magical Beast came to their senses...

All sorts of roars echoed from above the canyon!

This moment.

Apart from a few Magical Beast already engaged in battle, Magical Beast rest tried every means to climb up the canyon, as their Leader-Class summoned them...

"Huh, don't High-Tier Monster lose their minds?" William naturally connected the Temple's opening to the riot, which seemed to be the cause of the beast horde's rampage. But he was more curious about how those High-Tier Monster could resist some kind of temptation, or perhaps some kind of Mental Strength?

Five minutes passed.

Hundreds of Magical Beast remained in the canyon...

have no choice.

Many Magical Beast simply jumped down...

Or once you come down, you simply can't get back up...

But at this very moment.

William and his two companions had already climbed to the top of the canyon, sitting back to watch the beast battle, planning to come back and loot the corpses after the number of Magical Beast had decreased...

"A huge profit, definitely worth it!" The Prince raised an eyebrow. He would have to be careful when opening the Temple in the future, and would definitely have to cast Magic Barrier in advance to prevent the beasts from rioting again.

"But what exactly is inside the Temple that would attract those Magical Beast beasts here?"

At this moment, not only William was curious, but Lotner and Burning Ash were even more curious.
