Chapter 373

"Come out, Fordring, Leina!"

As he softly summoned them, two familiar figures swiftly appeared in the maze.

They looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings, their eyes filled with doubt.

Before they could exchange any more words, the group of golden-armored guards had already raised their spears and charged towards them with destructive force!

"Fordring Fording, stop them!"

"Leina, fireball!"

Shen Xing quickly issued a series of instructions.

"Yes, my lord!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fordring raised his shield, his body radiating a dazzling Holy Light, and charged towards the group of golden-armored guards.

Leina also raised her staff at the same time, and a vast amount of fire element quickly condensed, causing the temperature of the entire passage to rise rapidly!

"Puff! Puff puff puff!"

The golden-armored guards thrust their spears wildly, each thrust seemingly containing immense power, capable of easily piercing through steel plates several meters thick.

Fordring raised his Silver Shield, blocking all the attacks.

With the strength of a single man guarding the pass, he prevented the group of golden-armored guards from advancing an inch.

But he was ultimately only a Tier Three guardian, and the damage he could withstand was limited.

Soon, countless cracks appeared on the Silver Shield, and it looked like it was about to explode completely.

Just then, a dignified female voice came from behind.

"Light... protect your followers!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a holy white light surged out from behind and landed entirely on Old Fordring's Silver Shield.

The cracks on the shield were quickly repaired, and it was restored to its original state in the blink of an eye.

Furthermore, the shield's surface even faintly displays feather patterns, greatly increasing its defensive capabilities!

A look of surprise flashed in Shen Xing's eyes.

Looking back, he saw the Holy Light Priest beside Jiang Rong raise her staff, continuously channeling more Holy Light into Fordring.

"Wow, the skills of two Holy Light classes have this kind of synergy effect?"

"With this Holy Light Priest assisting him, Fordring's defense has increased several levels again, and he might even be able to withstand Master's attack."

He sighed softly, a feeling of joy welling up inside him.

At that moment, Leina also finished charging her spell.

A fireball, only one meter in diameter but containing energy compressed to its limit and exuding an aura of destruction, was suddenly revealed.

"Go!"

With a soft shout, the fireball, trailing a fiery tail, instantly landed among the group of golden-armored guards.

Then.

"Boom!!!"

A terrifying heatwave erupted instantly, and destructive flames swept outwards.

The guards at the epicenter of the explosion had their golden armor melt into molten iron in the blink of an eye, and their bodies were quickly charred.

Even Old Fordring's Silver Shield, which had withstood so many attacks without damage, shattered instantly under the power of this fireball!

The entire passage was instantly engulfed by a heat wave, and Shen Xing and Jiang Rong, who were in the distance, were also pushed back dozens of meters by the impact.

As the flames subsided, the battlefield ahead revealed a scene of utter devastation, with charred corpses lying haphazardly on the ground, many of them barely recognizable as human.

Only the last golden-armored captain remained, barely managing to maintain his form.

"Wow... such terrifying destructive power..." Jiang Rong, standing beside her, turned pale with fright and stared at the red-haired woman in shock.

Even the Holy Light Priest beside her looked at Leina with a solemn expression.

This level of destructive power has completely surpassed the scope of the Tier Three.

Especially in such narrow terrain, the destructive power is truly terrifying.

Even a true Master would likely be injured by such a blow.

The ensuing battle was, of course, a foregone conclusion.

With the combined efforts of several Leader Rank generals, the captain of the golden-armored guards was completely powerless to fight back.

Of course, Shen Xing didn't let Leina continue charging up the Greater Fireball. Instead, he controlled the three Telekinesis Orbs to act as the main source of damage.

With a loud "bang," a Telekinesis Orb pierced through the chest of the golden-armored guard, ending the enemy's life.

Moments later, the corpses of the golden-armored guards turned into mist and dissipated.

On the ground, a large amount of materials and spoils of war were found.

Shen Xing pushed the wheelchair forward and took inventory.

Total:

32 Greater Soul Stone

Soul Stone *5241

Tier Three Advancement Materials *5

Tier Three Leader Rank Soul *1

Tier Three 3 Boss Rank Soul

Golden Unknown Recruitment Scroll *16

"Not bad."

Shen Xing nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Jiang Rong beside him. "Based on combat contributions, let's distribute them at a 6:4 ratio."

Jiang Rong paused slightly, then shook her head. "No need... I haven't made any contribution, how can I take spoils of war..."

"And without your guidance, I would never have been able to get here."

Shen Xing thought about it and did not accept the proposal.

Finally, at his insistence, the money was distributed at an 82-to-1 ratio.

Jiang Rong put away her spoils and silently watched his retreating figure, a complex expression on her face.

This junior is really nice. If only I were younger...

Thinking of this, she quickly stopped herself from thinking about it and shook her head.

Jiang Rongrong, how could you have such thoughts!

She's a junior, several years younger than you, you shameless woman!

She cursed herself inwardly, and her face turned even redder.

Before she could think any further, a golden light shone through the crack in the golden stone door.

Immediately afterwards, a violent tremor was heard.

"Boom..."

The stone gate trembled continuously, slowly opening to both sides, gradually revealing the scene inside.

Shen Xing took a deep breath and stepped inside with Jiang Rong.

Before them lay a magnificent hall.

The ground is paved with square obsidian blocks, huge columns stand tall, and the dome is inlaid with some luminous crystals.

Around the main hall are rows of tightly closed golden archways.

Shen Xing counted them and found that, including the one behind him, there were a total of 64 doors.

"That means... there are a total of 64 routes that lead to this hall."

"Then other players should arrive here as well, right?"

Looking around, I saw a dozen or so figures scattered around the edge of the hall, each with a different expression as they gazed at the center of the hall.

The other players also noticed Shen Xing and his companion, their eyes showing surprise, but they quickly looked away and continued to look at the central area.

Shen Xing followed their gaze.

There stands a throne forged from Black Iron.

A figure clad in dark red armor and wearing a tattered cloak sat leaning against the throne.

He seemed to have sat on the throne for many years, his aura almost decaying, yet he still exuded a tremendous sense of oppression.

However, what caught Shen Xing's attention was not the figure's strength, but what he held in his hand.

He held a broad, golden sword in his left hand and a pale gold medal in his other.

When Shen Xing saw the medal, his pupils instantly shrank.

"That is... Proof of Hero!"

As a lord who had previously topped the leaderboard and obtained this item, he was extremely familiar with it.

He had only heard from Elder Wang that there might be Proof of Hero here, but he never expected to actually find it.

After all, this thing is too precious and too important.

He has only obtained one since entering the Land of Mist.

At that moment, a strong desire welled up from the bottom of his heart, and he even wanted to rush over and snatch the Proof of Hero.

However, Shen Xing did not act impulsively.

After all, with so many players gathered around but no one making a move, things were clearly not that simple.

Either there's a trap near the throne, or the being sitting on it is too powerful, making them uncertain of their chances.

Thinking of this, Shen Xing suppressed his excitement and began to observe quietly from the side.

Time passed slowly, and soon more than ten minutes had gone by.

The players in the lobby remained motionless, and the atmosphere became somewhat tense.

Not far away, several players from the Golden Eagle Kingdom gathered together, discussing something among themselves.

After a moment, they looked at Shen Xing and said from a distance.

"I've heard that Shen Xing from Heavenly Star Nation is incredibly powerful, having topped the rankings twice in a row. He's destined to become Master."

"Why don't you let Brother Shen Xing challenge this BOSS first? If he gets the treasure, we definitely won't fight you for it."

The other players seemed to understand as well, and a smile crept onto their lips.

They all echoed this sentiment.
