Heroes' Prison

Chapter 325 - 318: Spirit Stone

Huang Yi had only commanded a 5,000-person team once before, which was to help the Yanhuang Legion compete for the first kill of the Zombie King. That was a top-level team that had been honing their skills for a long time, and they were easy to command.

But this team they had assembled was just a temporary group of people with little rapport, making it much more difficult to command. However, the average level of the members in this team was above 65, which was a lot stronger than the Yanhuang Legion at that time, and they would fight a bit faster.

"All sub-team leaders, please pay attention. We’re going straight for the Zombie King. In a moment, I’ll lure away the first boss, Dragonlance Pfister. You all then speed across the bridge and head to the peak where the Zombie King is," Huang Yi ordered.

Afterward, he charged at Pfister alone, activated Judgment, and pulled Pfister high into the sky. This was the new tactic he had once used when helping the Yanhuang Legion achieve the first kill of the Zombie King—it was something only he could do because it was one of his exclusive skills.

Huang Yi strenuously dodged Pfister’s pursuit, while the team below took the opportunity to rush across the suspension bridge and quickly headed for the peak where the Zombie King was located.

Before long, the entire team had successfully made the transition. Huang Yi, seeing that the timing was just about right, immediately rushed to the boss and chose to suicide.

Huang Yi immediately selected resurrection and, transforming into his White Dragon Form, flew to the peak where the Zombie King was located. They easily bypassed the first boss like this, saving a considerable amount of time.

"Everyone, refresh your buffs. Main tank, get ready to go. Now that we’re a team of levels 65 and above, killing this boss won’t be too difficult," Huang Yi commanded. They were only lacking in coordination now, but their strength was still very formidable.

From then on, the team basically crushed their way through. Their damage output far exceeded that of the Yanhuang Legion at the time, and they quickly brought the Zombie King down to a bare life state.

Huang Yi continued with his innovative tactics, leading the Zombie King high into the sky and isolating the threat of the lesser zombies to the team. They thus easily avoided the skill with the highest casualty rate.

In this way, the Zombie King kept dying over and over. The team fought smoothly; the boss was no longer difficult, just time-consuming.

"Alright, we’re up to the Corpse Water Torrent skill! Everyone go all out and try to kill the Zombie King before the Corpse Water Torrent arrives," Huang Yi saw the time was right and immediately gave the order to the entire team.

The whole team immediately burst into action and managed to kill the Zombie King before the arrival of the Corpse Water Torrent.

When Huang Yi first led the Yanhuang Legion to their first kill, they had faced a total wipe at this point, with only him left alive. But now, they easily finished off the boss.

The Zombie King’s fifth form was even simpler; with only two million health points, a round of concentrated fire from the group was enough to kill it outright.

This time, they finished off the Zombie King in less than half an hour, faster than Huang Yi had anticipated!

Huang Yi walked over to where the boss’s loot had dropped, directly picked up the Spirit Stone, and the rest of the gear was rather poor in comparison—mostly Purple Gear, with very few pieces of Orange Gear, far less than what the Yanhuang Legion had gotten from their first kill of the Zombie King.

"We’re really lucky to have burst out a Spirit Stone on our first try!"

"Yeah, and we were even more efficient than the Yanhuang Legion. They needed to kill the first boss first and then the Zombie King. Moreover, every time the Zombie King resurrected, they suffered casualties. But with Instakill leading the way, we cleared both those hurdles!"

"That’s right, this makeshift team of ours is even more impressive than the Yanhuang Legion! I hope we can farm more Spirit Stones so maybe I can get one for myself too!"

The group broke into excited chatter, their eyes gleaming as they gazed enviously at the stone, wondering when they might get their hands on a Spirit Stone like that.

"Alright, everyone out. Stand by in your original positions!" Having pocketed the Spirit Stone, Huang Yi issued his command to the group.

Immediately, everyone left the Tower of Pantheons and returned to the outer Teleportation Circle, waiting quietly.

Meanwhile, Huang Yi continued to reset the secret realm, going in and out, using the Eye of Time to check for drops—he wouldn’t fight unless a Spirit Stone dropped, saving a tremendous amount of time.

Finally, on the last entry, Huang Yi saw another Spirit Stone.

The team teleported back in with great fanfare.

...

The team Huang Yi led tonight was one that could astonish the world—they managed to obtain two Spirit Stones in just one hour, an efficiency almost unimaginable.

Others didn’t have the Eye of Time and had to fight time and time again, hoping for a Spirit Stone to drop. But Huang Yi only fought when he saw that a Spirit Stone would drop, making every shot count. Moreover, his exclusive skill "Judgment" also significantly reduced the team’s tower crawling time.

"Alright, you all worked hard today! Knight, arrange for the contribution points to be given to everyone," Huang Yi directed Knight; the ordinary players would be rewarded with contribution points, which they could use to exchange for various items—a compensation from Huang Yi.

The Hero Guild now had plenty of funds. Huang Yi and the current president of the Xuanyuan Clan, Yun Sihai, had already banded together, monopolizing the market of Earthwalking Dragon mounts. Outsiders who wanted to enter his Earth Dragon Valley had to pay two million Gold Coins. This made the Earth Dragon Valley a goldmine, becoming the Hero Guild’s pillar industry, and the Guild Warehouse was already piled high with Diamond Coins.

Today, Huang Yi essentially used some of the Guild Warehouse’s regular resources to obtain two priceless Spirit Stones. And since the gear that dropped was added to the Guild Warehouse, the actual cost was even less. Such was the benefit of being the Guild President.

"Ah! Instakill is so generous. I only played for a short hour and got awarded so many contribution points. I can exchange them for great items in the Guild Warehouse!"

"Haha, me too, but I’m not exchanging for money. I’m saving up to get Orange Gear!"

Laughter filled the crowd, and everyone seemed very happy. In their eyes, earning a big chunk of Contribution Points in just an hour was a fortunate event not easily found.

Watching their joy, Huang Yi also smiled slightly and then left the place.

He sent the two Spirit Stones to Qin Shiyu and Overlord, who had both reached the 8th Stage of their War Soul Points. With these two Spirit Stones, they would be able to reach the 9th Stage, overcoming this significant hurdle.

...

In the following days, Huang Yi organized a 5000-person team every night with Knight, instakilling the Zombie King on the 50th level, managing to obtain an average of two Spirit Stones each night.

These treasures, priceless in the eyes of outsiders, were being farmed in large quantities by Huang Yi and distributed to every high-level member of the guild.

At present, the atmosphere in the entire Hero Guild was thriving. Sunset, Knight, and Overlord were all busy dealing with matters concerning the three core teams. The guild was brimming with talent, with each team having about twenty players with Rare Classes, a lineup only top-tier teams in the world could have.

The Hero Guild appeared to be basking in overwhelming success.

But behind the brightness often lies conspiracy.

One day, Qin Shiyu received a message—

A super player was ambushing Hero Guild members just outside Tiantai City!

The timing and location were exactly the same as the previous upheaval by Mirror Broken.

However, unlike last time, currently, Huang Yi, Nameless, Mirror Broken, Overlord, and the strongest bunch of experts were almost all offline. No one was available to defeat that super player. In the entire Hero Guild, only Qin Shiyu had the strength to take him on. She was the second most powerful player in the Hero Guild, stronger even than Nameless and Mirror Broken.

Qin Shiyu decided to take action herself. She teleported to Tiantai City, exited the city gates, and mounted her Raptor, speeding towards the scene of the incident.

What she didn’t know was that a conspiracy specifically targeting her was slowly unfolding.

...

"Chieftain, the scouts are reporting that Qin Shiyu has left the city and will soon be here," said one of the Half-Beastmen, who were lying in ambush on the necessary path ahead of Qin Shiyu. The other was Feng Zhi, and the one beside him was their tribe’s Chieftain, a powerful Holy Domain Warrior!

"You stay here. I’ll go capture her," the Half-Beast Chieftain said with a cold smirk, full of confidence.

...

At this time, Qin Shiyu, mounted on the Raptor, had already left Tiantai City far behind. The landscape on both sides rapidly receded, the wind messing up her hair and revealing her icy eyes filled with a killing intent.

Just then, her pupils reflected a tall figure rushing towards her at great speed!

She quickly turned to look at the tall figure, her pupils shrinking!

"Hey, girl, let’s have some fun!" The tall figure, a Half-Beastman, laughed loudly; his muscles were knotted, even lined with patterns, clearly indicating he was a Saint Domain Half-Beastman.

"Who are you? We don’t seem to have any grudges!" Qin Shiyu immediately stopped her Raptor, knowing that in the presence of a Holy Domain Warrior, the Raptor’s speed counted for nothing.

"No grudges?" The Half-Beastman’s eyebrows twitched. "You’d have to ask Instakill about that. As soon as he hands over the ’Soul Prelude,’ then we’ll really have no grievances!"

A look of shock flashed through Qin Shiyu’s eyes, and a bad feeling crept up on her as she said coldly, "Are you one of Feng Zhi’s men?"

"No, Feng Zhi is one of my men!" The Holy Domain Half-Beastman shook his head with a smile, closing the gap to Qin Shiyu in almost the blink of an eye, and his large hands descended to firmly capture her.

This Half-Beastman was the Chieftain of the tribe Feng Zhi belonged to. After a long wait, they finally seized the perfect opportunity today to lure Qin Shiyu out and take her hostage.

"You can choose to kill yourself. That way, I can’t kidnap you, but if you accidentally enter Reincarnation, I’m afraid Instakill will be very sad! You’d better behave and wait. I believe Instakill will come to rescue you very soon." The Half-Beast Chieftain said while flicking his finger!

A Wood Magic spell instantly formed at his fingertips, turning into a vine that tightly bound Qin Shiyu.

Afterward, the Half-Beast Chieftain left with Qin Shiyu. (To be continued. If you like this work, please go to qidian.com to vote for Recommendation Tickets and Monthly Tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
