Harvest
"Ding! Congratulations to players Tianmu Zhenjun, Yueyin Qingya, Thousand Years of White Clouds, Qingqing Zijin, Hua Shanhe... and Po Mo Hua Xian Yu, for achieving the server's First Kill on the Diamond-tier BOSS, the Shattered King of the Earth, Cronos Bloodhoof! Each player is rewarded with 50 free attribute points, one thousand gold coins, and one enhanced skill book for their respective class!"
"Ding! Congratulations to players Tianmu Zhenjun, Yueyin Qingya, Baiyun..."
"Ding! Congratulations..."
It was 6 PM game time.
After nearly 24 hours, under the siege of thirty to forty thousand players,
the Centaur Royal Court, the size of a town, was officially declared annihilated.
There were certainly some stragglers.
As long as they were determined to hide, in their own territory, it was believed that there were still some unknown corners that couldn't be searched.
The Level 60 Diamond BOSS dropped an incredible amount of loot!
There were three orange-tier equipment embryos alone.
Several rare construction blueprints.
Among them, Yang Jian particularly valued the [Blueprint: Flight Point].
The Flight Point blueprint was a bit of a mixed bag, as it also required a city's Flight Center, a Flight Administrator, and鸞 birds to be put into use!
But this blueprint was still essential!
Without it, one wouldn't even have the qualification to apply for a Flight Point!
The Teleportation Array blueprint that Yang Jian most desired was not found.
Almost all other types of rare blueprints were dropped at least once.
47 pieces of Level 60 purple-tier equipment were dropped!
If the opponent had a backpack, Yang Jian would be really curious.
Just how big could that backpack be!
Not to mention all sorts of Level 60 materials!
There were over thirty orange-tier materials and over a hundred purple-tier materials alone!
No blue-tier materials; blue-tier materials weren't fitting for the Diamond BOSS's prestige!
What Yang Jian valued most was the stone in front of him.
[Wondrous Item: Dungeon Stone (Giant, Team Dungeon)]
Without a word, Yang Jian used the necklace skill 'Designated Acquisition'.
He first scanned for any Teleportation Array blueprints.
After confirming there were indeed none,
he directly chose the second Dungeon Stone!
Each continent only drops one Dungeon Stone... After the first one drops, all other BOSS Dungeon Stones are directly removed from the drop list.
And there's also a time limit for defeat.
If Yang Jian played his cards right, he could get six of them with his 'Designated Acquisition'!
Even if this item no longer gave experience after Level 60,
at the very least, the various equipment and materials dropped inside would be of great use!
Moreover, it could also be used to train new recruits!
Having obtained the second Dungeon Stone,
Yang Jian immediately used one.
Instantly, a brilliant light shot up into the sky.
Then it descended, enveloping the entire Centaur Royal Court.
The guild players outside didn't know what this new development was.
Each of them was incredibly nervous.
As the light dissipated, the Star Palace players on the scene were stunned.
"What the... Where's the Royal Court? My huge Centaur Royal Court just disappeared like that?"
Players in the Imperial District, who were still chasing after scattered fleeing Centaurs, were a bit at a loss.
The figures of the Centaurs they were chasing gradually faded before their eyes, disappearing mid-run.
Even the terrain and environment on the scene had undergone noticeable changes.
The vast Centaur Royal Court was gone, replaced by pillars of stone standing on the previously open ground.
The entire Stone Forest Mountains seemed to have been swept by a shockwave.
And then the world changed!
The Stone Forest Mountains was still the Stone Forest Mountains.
However, the huge central basin was gone, and the style of the entire space was unified!
It all turned into stone pillars, covering the entire map.
On top of the stone pillars, Harpies flapped their wings.
Some fearless wild monsters even tried a dive and acceleration... and then they were gone... The Star Palace players were also bewildered.
What was going on?
Yang Jian and his group suddenly appeared outside, having emerged from the strangely shaped royal tent.
Both Yang Jian and Zhou Yue had used Dungeon Stones before, so they knew a little about this item.
To put it simply,
sealed dungeons are all projections of the past.
They are the last vestiges of unwillingness from those fallen souls, intercepted from the past by deities proficient in time and space.
Their final obsession, however, leads them into an endless cycle, repeating itself.
For example, if Yang Jian were to use another Dungeon Stone here now,
it would have absolutely no effect!
When the players outside saw Yang Jian and his group also appear next to a stone pillar,
the leaders of various teams gathered around.
"Guild Leader, what's going on?"
The team dungeon would eventually need to be used, and upon returning, they would have to consider whether to place it in Dragon Head Camp or Zhenhai City.
So there was no need for secrecy.
"So, we'll soon have a team dungeon to raid?"
Yang Jian chuckled.
"Can you even beat it, if you're going to raid a team dungeon?"
"How many people is this team dungeon for?"
Team dungeons are also divided by the number of players, with the smallest team dungeon having a maximum of forty players.
Currently, Zhenhai City has one largest team dungeon for one hundred players!
But looking at today's fight against the Centaur camp,
thirty to forty thousand players struggled so much!
The dozen or so team leaders and commanders couldn't help but feel a chill!
How big must this team dungeon be? They hoped they wouldn't just be able to watch in the end... At this point, it could basically be declared disbanded!
"Have all the management personnel arrived at Lingyun City?"
Hearing Yang Jian's question, Mo Suqing replied,
"They've all arrived!"
"Alright, go back and hand over the captured supplies to the guild warehouse according to the required proportion, then the teams will disband on the spot."
"Then arrange for all management personnel, including all team leaders, vice-team leaders, and commanders, to attend an offline meeting to plan the upcoming schedule and tasks!"
Upon hearing Yang Jian's arrangements, everyone organized their respective teams and retreated from the Stone Forest Mountains.
The traces of the Centaurs completely vanished.
This place became the territory of the Harpies... Although their numbers were not large, and their distribution was not dense.
But they were Level 55 wild monsters after all.
If one were to be caught alone, it wouldn't end well!
Yang Jian returned to the Time-Space Altar to wait offline.
However, the excitement on the forums was just beginning.
As a guild at the forefront of the game, Star Palace's every move was now closely watched.
Especially large-scale collective actions like this.
Experts among the populace, various big names on the forums almost sliced and diced Star Palace's actions for analysis.
"Are they starting to enforce discipline? Could it be that the Abyss is about to launch a large-scale invasion?"
"The frequency of Abyss invasions has also accelerated recently!"
"Sigh, look at all these freeloaders, I could do it too! When is Star Palace recruiting? Give me a chance!"
"Such a large-scale operation is almost like launching a war!"
"Heh heh, look at the scene of this camp battle..."
"Can't the blogger get closer and secretly film? So many scenes aren't clear..."
"Get closer? How close? Right up to Lord Tian Mu's face to film?"
"Have you heard? When they were fighting the Golden BOSS, those dozen or so disruptive players were packed up and sent away overnight..."
...On the internet, there are always those who praise and those who criticize.
"Strongly Condemn Star Palace for Attacking the Centaurs' Territory Without Cause"
The post started with several pictures of the Centaur Royal Court in peaceful times.
We are all living with effort!
But we cannot live without a bottom line.
What did the Centaurs do? They were eating hotpot and singing songs at home, and you guys just invaded?
Destroying their peaceful lives, killing their innocent people... The entire article was an accusation of Star Palace's cruelty!
Yang Jian always ignored such remarks.
He couldn't bother with them all!
Moreover, the world is so vast, and the population so large.
It's harder than climbing to heaven to find the trolls hidden among the crowd.
Furthermore, they might also be hiding in places like Little Japan, Little Xi Ba... However, nowadays, those who genuinely dare to indulge in such remarks.
Only the official game forums... The major platforms of Blue Star are not that headstrong!
Such posts wouldn't even pass the moderation stage.
After all, they didn't want to provoke Star Palace to test how deep the waters were...
