Chapter 1328: Chapter 1328: Distribution Chapter 1328: Chapter 1328: Distribution The beast tamer frowned and said, “Why was Dark Furnace City formed, if not because of the many adventurous locations around it? Based on my investigations, this city is surrounded by numerous adventure spots and ruins. It’s precisely because these places produce a lot of special magical items that it’s so bustling here. You must have seen as well, there are quite a few new recruits (players) around, and I even checked the forums, which say that there are more treasure chests here. Even though the monsters are more formidable, the experience they offer is also much more bountiful.”

Edward nodded in agreement, “If you put it that way, you’re not wrong. Even though the plane fusion suddenly introduced many new maps, the newcomers still prefer the hidden spots. This place is indeed suitable: densely packed with monsters, offering lots of experience, and producing special equipment. Most importantly, the monsters here don’t differentiate between day and night; they don’t go into a frenzy, meaning you can level up without restriction all day. Everyone is rushing towards level fifty now, and I guess that once we have more level fifty newcomers, the main storyline dungeons are going to open up too. That’s why it’s so popular here.”

Li Yao nodded in agreement. As the map expanded infinitely and the experience required to level up surged, leveling up today was not as easy as it was in the past, and much closer to a magical reality.

To level up by slaying monsters, one usually had to prepare a lot of supplies before heading to an appropriate location, which could take several days of travel.

It couldn’t be helped. The higher the grade, the more experience required–not to mention the decreased experience from killing ordinary monsters, making it necessary to slay higher-level creatures. Those of a lower grade gained less experience due to their lower attributes and strength, and thus couldn’t speed up their leveling.

Thus, although players were still urgently levelling up, they were no longer racing against time like before. Now, especially the higher-level players, tend to level up by doing quests.

What is called quest-oriented levelling is actually accepting various tasks that can be completed in the same location. While slaying monsters, tasks are completed, and on top of the experience from killing monsters, completing tasks also provides task experience and rewards equivalent to or better than those obtained from killing monsters. That’s why the quest halls have gradually become so popular. Moreover, if you join a good guild, there are many guild tasks and experience boost times, resulting in almost no solo players.

For top players, this method is obviously not efficient, so they are more like Edward and his acquaintances who knew some powerful NPCs and then completed high-level NPC tasks. These tasks are extremely dangerous, but as the saying goes, ‘fortune favors the bold.’ If they complete the NPC tasks, the rewards are naturally much more significant.

Just like Li Yao’s current mission, fraught with peril, it is beyond ordinary players, let alone top players. But as long as Li Yao returns alive and completes the Earl’s task, the rewards he would receive would be extraordinary.

Of course, if Li Yao wanted to return to the High Elves’ territory, he must complete the task of the Lord God Ros; otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to use the Hearthstone. Currently, deep in the underground world, if he attempted to flee, he would likely be hunted by countless fallen elves. More crucially, if observed by a main deity, there would be no place to hide.

Li Yao was confident, but not arrogant enough to confront a whole race.

“I understand what you’re saying; there are many adventure spots around,” Li Yao pointed out several places on the map marked by himself and continued, “Look at these spots, a total of five. These are the forbidden lands for adventurers. According to the information I’ve gathered, the Quicksand Lands, Poison Fog Stone Forest, Volcano Cave, Demon Crocodile Lake, and Ruins of the Titan city are forbidden lands for adventurers. Although many have taken quests to these places, as far as I’ve heard, none of the adventurers who went to these places have completed their tasks and returned. Therefore, the rewards and payouts for tasks in these places are extremely generous.”

“Do you mean to say that the Lion Scorpion Goddess might be lurking in one of these forbidden lands?” The barbarian warrior’s eyes lit up immediately, “Then what are we waiting for? Since that’s the case, why don’t we take these tasks one by one? While searching for her, we could also earn a fortune.”

Ignoring his comment, Li Yao went on, “These forbidden lands are not too far from Dark Furnace City. I think the Dark Flow guild would definitely be in the Poison Fog Stone Forest or the Volcano Cave, and as for the Lion Scorpion Goddess, I guess she wouldn’t be in the same place as Dark Flow. Considering she’s a scorpion, the Quicksand Lands are a possibility, but the Lion Scorpion’s characteristics lead me to think she’d prefer the Volcano Cave. Demon Crocodile Lake is a gathering place for Warcraft crocodiles in large numbers, so it likely doesn’t have any hiding places. As for the Ruins of the Titan city, I think that’s even less likely because the Titans are too mysterious; you can be sure they left behind creations and Guardians in their city, and I doubt the Lion Scorpion Goddess’ projection would risk it.”

Vivian pondered for a moment and then said, “As far as I know, the Lion Scorpion Goddess doesn’t like poison fog. And given the terrain of the Stone Forest, if the Lion Scorpion Goddess were to revert to her true form, she probably couldn’t deploy her skills effectively. But for the Dark Flow guild, it could be a good location. Maybe the poison fog is actually formed by an Array.”

Edward nodded, “That leaves us with the Quicksand Lands and the Volcano Cave. With our strength, splitting up to scout should be no issue. We’ll pose as an adventurer’s squad, take on some dangerous missions, and then do some reconnaissance. What do you all think? If we locate the exact position, we should not disturb the snakes.”

“That sounds good. With six of us, we can form two groups of three. Let’s set a deadline of one week; we’ll reconvene here whether we’ve found anything or not and then plan for the long term,” Li Yao said.

Everyone considered and felt this was the most time-efficient approach. As the champions of the Lunar Crown, they all were fully confident in their abilities.

The Serpent Demon said first, “Naturally, I’ll be in the same group as my master. The rest of you, feel free to choose.”

“Then I’ll join this group too,” Edward spoke up before anyone else could, “The rest of you have a powerful combination as well: one with immense strength makes a good tank, one with Dragon Bloodline who masters stealth and assassination secret techniques, and one who can summon so many Warcraft. I’m sure a mere forbidden land won’t be a challenge for you guys.”

Green Horn played with his dagger in silence, the barbarian warrior had no objections, and while the beast tamer naturally hoped to be in the same group as the powerful Li Yao, he was preempted by others, and there was no way he was going to argue just about group division.

Li Yao didn’t mind who he was paired with; they all seemed equal to him. “Then you guys pick a location to explore.”

The barbarian warrior scratched his head, he could work hard but thinking was not his forte: “I’m easy.”

Green Horn still didn’t speak, obviously indifferent. Left with no choice, the beast tamer said, “The Volcano Cave has complex terrain, and I own many Magic Pets, so at least we won’t get lost. Plus, if we run into danger, our group could fight given the terrain advantage. Let’s choose the Volcano Cave.”

Li Yao nodded, “Alright, then we’ll explore the Quicksand Lands. Since that’s settled, let’s all head out together.”…
