Heroes' Prison

Chapter 340 - 332 Soul Escape

At that moment, a massive wave of Experience Points suddenly descended, blessing all team members within range!

In that group, Huang Yi had made the highest contribution to the kill and had also landed the final blow, earning the lion’s share of the Experience Points. Two warm currents surged through his body, catapulting him to Level 82 in one go, equaling the World Rankings’ number one, Miyamoto Musashi!

Moreover, on the leaderboard, Huang Yi’s level had risen to second place in the China Region, trailing only behind Dragon Spike, and ninth globally, leaping from a rank outside the tens of thousands straight into the top ten.

"We did it! Instakill Brother killed a Holy Domain warrior! That’s a Holy Domain warrior over Level 100! We had so many people attacking it, and we couldn’t kill it, but Instakill Brother did it all by himself!"

"What was that sequence of skills just now? It seemed like it multiplied his Attack Power by so much!"

"Ten million damage! That’s a figure I’ve never even dreamed of!"

The crowd immediately broke into fervent discussion, the scene they had just witnessed was nothing short of miraculous—ten million damage had stunned everyone, and it was probably a record even Huang Yi himself would have a hard time breaking anytime soon.

At this moment, hundreds of thousands of players were fervently staring at Huang Yi in the sky, their unity reaching an all-time high. With such a powerful figure as their leader, what could possibly stand in their way in the future?

If before they had merely regarded Huang Yi as the guild leader, then after experiencing that astonishing attack, they now saw him as a leader, someone who could lead them to achieve great things—more than just a simple title.

"Alright! Now that we’ve completely wiped out the Half-Beast Tribe, everyone, go and loot through different areas of the tribe, tally the spoils of war, and report back to me!" Sunset commanded the entire team at this point.

Subsequently, hundreds of thousands of players spread out under the lead of their respective sub-groups, looting throughout the tribe. This was a legion mode, where everyone only had the right to loot, not to distribute, and the spoils of war couldn’t be stored in storage rings but had to be piled up for those with the authority to allocate to handle.

Meanwhile, Huang Yi was rapidly flying towards the location where the Chieftain had died—the loot from a Holy Domain warrior was not something an ordinary boss could compare with.

Soon, Huang Yi arrived at the Chieftain’s death site and landed on the ground, retracting his wings.

The Chieftain had dropped a total of eight items, far more than what Ghost Axe Black Wolf had left behind, but Black Wolf had dropped a Storage Necklace with all his belongings inside, while this Half-Beast Chieftain hadn’t been wearing any Storage Equipment, hence no massive drop.

Among these eight items, there were four pieces of equipment, all orange quality jewelry.

Huang Yi casually picked up an orange necklace and examined it—

[Ancestral Necklace] (Orange Gear, Jewelry Set—Necklace)

Magic Defense: 250

Strength +400

Constitution +100

Critical Hit Rate +2%

Critical Hit Effect +10%

Attack Speed +5%

Durability: 2000/2000

Required Level: 100

Equipment Score: 500

Item Description: Jewelry with magical powers. Collecting a set temporarily boosts the wearer’s level.

[Ancestral Set]

Attached Skill [Level Up]: Each piece can temporarily increase the wearer’s level by 20 and bestow the corresponding Attribute Bonus for the increased level, lasting for 10 seconds with a cooldown time of 10 days. The effects of the four pieces can be stacked.

Seeing this equipment, Huang Yi’s eyes lit up.

Actually, this item was just Orange Gear, which might be sought after in other people’s eyes, but for players like Huang Yi with Legendary Equipment, Orange Gear was merely transitional.

Huang Yi coveted this necklace because it was part of an Orange Quality Jewelry set, with an attached Set Effect that was a rare [Level Up] skill, temporarily raising one’s level by twenty for each piece worn, so all four pieces combined would raise his level by eighty altogether! Within ten seconds, his level would skyrocket by eighty levels! And it would last for ten seconds!

If Huang Yi, at level 100, were suddenly to rise to level 180 and don the equipment of a level 180, who knows how much his Attributes would increase!

Next, Huang Yi scrutinized the remaining three pieces of Orange Quality Jewelry, which turned out to be the other three pieces of the set. Now, he had obtained the entire set of jewelry, but he couldn’t wear it until he reached level 100. Huang Yi stored them in his storage ring.

There were still four items left on the ground, one of which Huang Yi was very familiar with: an Energy Stone, its color slightly tinged with red.

That was precisely the Special Energy Stone Huang Yi had been searching for all this time, which could provide an infinite source of Energy!

Previously, Huang Yi had such a stone, which he had used in Dragon City, casting Judgment on Feng Zhi and their over three hundred thousand people, shocking the world. Ever since then, he had been in search of this kind of Special Energy Stone, but it had never dropped before, not even for Guifu Heilang, another warrior of the Holy Domain. Unexpectedly, the Chieftain had dropped one.

Among the remaining three items on the ground were a stone and two books.

Huang Yi first picked up one of the books. The pages of the book were ancient, the cover worn as if it had been flipped through countless times, with a picture on the front: a figure standing on the ground, his body at the center point, with a large surrounding area turned blood red.

Above the picture, there was a line of bold text: Half-Beast Secret Art: Beast Blood Domain.

This was precisely the domain skill that had made the Half-Beast Chieftain such a formidable opponent! Huang Yi immediately checked it out.

[Half-Beast Secret Art: Beast Blood Domain] (Grade B, Skill Book)

After using, you can learn the skill [Beast Blood Domain].

[Beast Blood Domain]: Can only be cast when Health Points are below 1%, releasing the Beast Blood Domain, increasing the Attack Speed, Movement Speed, and Defense Points by 30% for all allies within a three hundred-meter radius, while reducing the Attack Speed, Movement Speed, and Defense Points of all enemy targets by 30%. When Health Points rise above 1%, the domain automatically dissipates.

This skill wasn’t very useful to Huang Yi, whose Health would quickly replenish after falling to 1% Health Points; he wouldn’t stay at 1% Health Points for long. It was more suitable for knights focused on defense and health. The book would be best left for a knight’s use.

After that, Huang Yi looked at the second book, which was also a skill book, named [Half-Beast Secret Art: Soul Escape].

[Soul Escape]: Upon death, temporarily avoid dropping items, and regardless of Dismembered State, your Soul can launch straight up to a kilometer away, possessing ten thousand Health Points, and can be revived by Revival Skills. After resurrection, no items are dropped, but your Level drops by one. If the Soul is killed, death is final, and items are dropped.

This was the skill the Chieftain had employed after taking that peerless hit, as his semi-translucent soul had flown out. Unfortunately, it was blown apart by one of Huang Yi’s Flying Axes.

Huang Yi was in dire need of this skill; since reaching Level 2, he had never died again, but as he made more enemies, the battles he faced would only increase, and there was no certainty he wouldn’t die. With Legendary Equipment on him, dropping them would be a tremendous loss. However, this skill could allow his Soul to escape, which meant losing Levels but not dropping equipment, significantly reducing potential loss.

Of course, this only applied to death; there was no recourse in the case of Reincarnation.

Instantly, Huang Yi chose to learn the skill, giving him yet another method of escape, although he hoped he would never have to use it.

Now, from the items dropped by the Half-Beast Chieftain, only one remained: a stone.

This stone, the size of a fist, was flesh-red and somewhat heart-shaped. Huang Yi picked it up to examine it.

[Heart of the Tribe] (Special Item)

Can be used to create a tribe. The tribe’s size cannot exceed one hundred square kilometers, and can join a Power, turning the tribe into a territory of that Power, with the creator becoming the Chieftain of the tribe. If the Chieftain is killed by a player, the Heart of the Tribe is guaranteed to drop, and the tribe becomes the property of whoever picks it up.

This Heart of the Tribe turned out to be similar to the War Flag in function, both capable of creating territories. The sole difference was that the territory would disappear if the War Flag was destroyed, while the Heart of the Tribe would just drop, becoming a transferrable item. If someone else picked it up, the painstakingly constructed tribe would belong to someone else.

Touching the stone, Huang Yi fell into deep thought. Such an item carried great risks; he could spend a substantial amount of money to construct a tribe, and if he were killed by a player, the Heart of the Tribe would drop into someone else’s hands, not only wasting the money he had spent but also strengthening the enemy’s power.

Yet after pondering for a while, Huang Yi decided to use it!

His Guild already possessed three territories and was developing rapidly. With this Heart of the Tribe, he could acquire another territory, further accelerating the Guild’s growth.

Currently, very few players could kill him, and even if he were killed, he also had the [Soul Escape] skill, which would prevent the Heart of the Tribe from dropping unless his own Soul was also killed.

Thus, he had accounted for all the items the Half-Beast Chieftain had dropped, besides that [Beast Blood Domain] skill book, all the other items were useful to him.
