Then they started the challenge from the 30th floor.
After rushing through the Abyssal Rift three times consecutively.
The whole group leveled up.
Zhang Lianmeng and Su Xiaoyang, among others, all reached level 41.
While Han Xing reached level 42, his attributes saw a significant increase.
The experience required for the next level once again multiplied.
However, this was within their expectations.
Later on, the experience required for each level up becomes increasingly alarming.
Apart from those materials and experience, they hadnât found any Golden Set or Orange Set items.
The group roughly deduced.
The drop rate for this type of set was indeed very low.
Previously, their consecutive drops were purely due to the first-clear status bonus.
After that, it was all down to chance.
And when Han Xing and the others challenged the Abyssal Rift for the fifth time.
They came again to the 40th floor, in front of the Skeleton General: Buxa.
With plenty of experience.
Now, they were quite familiar with this Lordâs skills.
After a brief encounter.
Buxa, before he could even charge, was picked off his horse by Cheng Jianyong with a bewildered look.
But then, a round of focus fire.
The poor Buxa couldnât even use a skill before being pummeled into a heap of bone debris by the group again.
But this time, Han Xing saw that laying silently on Buxaâs body was a golden battle spear.
Everyoneâs eyes lit up.
Cheng Jianyong rushed over first, excitedly saying, "It dropped! It finally dropped!"
"Buxaâs Golden Battle Spear! Hahaha!"
Seeing his excited look, the group also smiled.
After five explorations and twelve hours, they finally got a set piece.
This probability could be considered both low and high.
At least for Han Xing and the others, it was quite a nice drop.
The Golden Battle Spear, like the Longsword, is a melee weapon.
The Swordsman and Berserker professions in the Warrior class can equip it.
However, using the battle spear to perform skills will alter the attack stance accordingly.
For instance, the âIaijutsu Slashâ skill, when released using the battle spear, will unleash a destructively powerful spear qi.
Transforming from an area attack to a linear attack.
Although the attack power will increase significantly.
Good things come in pairs.
Next, at the 49th floorâs âFear Wandererâ, they found an Orange Set piece.
[Fearful Gloves (Orange) lv45, Quality: Legend, Armor: 180~194, Attack Speed +20%, Magic Damage +10%.]
Everyoneâs faces showed joy.
Now, two pieces of the Fear Setâs five-piece set have dropped.
Although the Fear Set is level 45 equipment, Zhang Lianmeng still needed some time to equip it.
But with their current leveling speed, reaching level 45 wasnât much of a hurdle.
Perhaps by the time they collected the full Fear Set, Zhang Lianmeng would be level 45.
When the dayâs intense battle was over.
The group tallied their gains.
They explored the Abyssal Rift a total of eight times, taking 17 hours.
They gained a total of 37289 Abyssal Magic Stones and 106 Heroic Spirits.
As well as two set items, a Golden Battle Spear (Gold) and a Fear Bracelet (Orange).
Then, Han Xing used all the materials gained today to forge Hellfire Missile Silo and Demon Elephant War Chariot.
This time, Han Xing waved his hand generously, and directly raised eleven Demon Elephant War Chariots in one go!
Then, he clapped his hands satisfactorily and went back to rest.
Next day...
Han Xing woke up from his dreams.
Once again hearing the completion notice for the Demon Elephant War Chariot.
When he walked out of the Lordâs Mansion, he immediately saw eleven towering, formidable ancient weapons lined up on the street.
Han Xing nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very good, one Demon Elephant War Chariotâs combat power is equivalent to a Fourth Transformation Lord."
"If this pack of Wolf Cavalry can master it proficiently, it would be even stronger."
"Eleven chariots together might even challenge a Fourth-Turn Dominator level creature!"
"Against a Fifth Transformation Legend, although thereâs still no assurance, itâs close!"
Han Xing, with an excited gaze, summoned a troop of Wolf Cavalry.
Then, he had this group of Wolf Cavalry, along with the Demon Elephant War Chariots, join the training regimen.
Next, Han Xing and his team continued to rush through the Abyssal Rift.
The whole day through, they once again cleared the Abyssal Rift eight times.
However, on the second dayâs speed run through the Abyssal Rift, they did not find any set items.
They did earn a lot of experience points though.
Han Xing used the materials collected from the Rift to forge more Abyss Technology and Ancient Weapons.
On the third day, they continued exploring the Abyssal Rift.
The days repeated in this cycle.
Time flew by, and half a month had passed.
...
Half a month later.
The vast Ten Thousand Stars City remained in its original place.
After so long, the territory of Ten Thousand Stars City hadnât expanded at all.
Compared to the near-rapid expansion of the previous month, now itâs almost at a standstill.
This was because Han Xing had been continuously exploring the Abyssal Rift for the past half month.
Thus, pausing the development of Ten Thousand Stars City.
However, although the territory size didnât increase much.
But Han Xing and the others had undergone a tremendous change in strength.
Now, all five members of the Star River Squad have reached level 45.
Their attributes have increased significantly!
Moreover, they also exchanged a large number of Golden Treasure Chests at the Battle Merit Store, opening many level 45 pieces of equipment, further boosting their strength.
In half a monthâs time, they practically completed the progress that would take other Survivors half a year, or even a year.
It was truly astonishing!
At this moment.
On the opposite street, a towering Golden Armor Warrior suddenly appeared.
Every step he took emitted a creaking metallic sound.
Under the curious gaze of the crowd, this Golden Armor Warrior raised the golden battle spear in his hand, and excitedly said.
"Hahaha! The last Buxa Set piece finally dropped for me!"
"The attribute boost from the eight-piece set is truly incredible, so exhilarating!"
This man, shouting and in full golden armor, armed to the teeth, was Cheng Jianyong.
In half a monthâs time, after numerous explorations of the Abyssal Rift.
They finally managed to get the complete Buxa Set.
Even though itâs just level 40 equipment, it brought him at least a 40% damage increase.
In addition to other attributes and set effects.
Cheng Jianyong can now withstand the Demon Eye Lord âFear Wandererâsâ attacks for a full minute, holding his ground.
Note, this is only in a solo situation.
If he has the support of his teammates, that Demon Eye Lord wonât even be able to touch the hem of Cheng Jianyongâs clothes.
This made him increasingly arrogant.
However, before Cheng Jianyong could relish his victory for long.
A woman, clad in a Pale Robe and wearing a Demon Eye Helmet, slowly approached the group.
She exuded a cold and sinister aura all over.
Before she even got close, the group felt her imposing presence.
As if the Demon Eye Lord had reappeared.
However, when the figure slowly lifted her head, the group saw an absolutely beautiful face.
And beneath the Pale Robe, a striking figure that couldnât be ignored.
This person was none other than Zhang Lianmeng, fully equipped with the âFear Setâ.
Even though the setâs appearance was somewhat terrifying, it didnât diminish the beauty she exuded.
As if evil and holiness, two contrasting auras manifested simultaneously within this woman.
Faced with the groupâs gaze, Zhang Lianmeng shyly lowered her head.
At this moment, Han Xing walked over and said, "Changed?"
"Yes." Zhang Lianmeng lightly nodded her head.
Han Xing also examined her for a moment, then continued to ask.
"How does it feel?"
Zhang Lianmeng showed a slight smile on her face, "It feels quite good."
"This set, although a Magic-Type Equipment, has high defense."
"Moreover, it greatly boosts attributes, with all five pieces combined, it has increased 1200 points of Spirit, boosting my Magic Damage by more than 50%, and with the set effect..."
"The actual damage increase is more than double!"
After hearing Zhang Lianmengâs description, the group couldnât help but gulp.
...
