Chapter 873

The ten chests all looked quite big, about as tall as a person, and no one knew what good stuff they might contain.

I'll open it, I'll open it!

Dun Dun rushed forward first and opened the first chest.

The 5000-strong crowd came in great numbers to the small village on the plain, gathering to watch the loot drop from the first wave of minor monsters.

Although they didn't take part in the fight and didn't know the monsters' strength, just from Xiao Feng's damage and damage taken, some clues could be seen.

For such a high-difficulty dungeon, the rewards surely won't be bad!

Splash~

When the first chest opened, three items popped out.

A map, a colored stone, and a bottle of liquid.

"What are these? Why is there no equipment at all?" Everyone was puzzled.

Dun Dun picked up the items and shared the information of all three objects together in the legion channel.

【Black Feather Island Map·Part One】: Records the map of the outer region of Black Feather Island; there are five copies in total, this is the first.

【Five-Colored Stone·Black Feather Island】: When thrown, it deals 100 million points of fixed damage to an enemy (ignoring all defense attributes); if used on a non-humanoid monster and it results in a kill, the monster can be resurrected and enslaved for 24 hours, usable only in "Black Feather Island".

【Spring of Life·Black Feather Island】: When used on a dying plant, it restores its vitality, making it obey commands, lasting 24 hours, usable only in "Black Feather Island".

The information on these three items left people somewhat baffled.

The map is somewhat better, because the system map is now a pitch-black blank, showing nothing; one must explore on one's own. This map can be used as reference information for progressing in the early stage of the dungeon.

However, the stone and the spring are a bit strange.

"Let me see the map," Xiao Feng said.

"Sure, here!" Dun Dun immediately handed him the paper.

Xiao Feng opened it and looked.

This map depicts a complete outline of Black Feather Island, but only the small area where they stand and the vicinity within about 30 kilometers have concrete details; the rest is just a blurry gray smudge, showing nothing.

Within the visible area, there are three types of terrain.

They are the plain beneath their feet, the forest to the front-left, and the rocky highlands to the front-right.

Taking the direction toward the distant great castle as twelve o'clock, i. e., true north, these two places can respectively be called west and east.

The woodland to the west is labeled "Withered Wood Forest," and the rocky highlands to the east are labeled "Chaotic Stone Mountain Range."

Between the two lies the plain, which leads deeper into the dungeon.

However, about 25 kilometers to the north, a large river blocks the way; a small town stands on its bank, likely teeming with monsters, and if one wishes to cross the river, a major battle is inevitable!

Besides the town, there are also some smaller villages along the way, and fighting monsters is unavoidable there as well.

"This stone and spring are likely meant to lower the dungeon's difficulty; we can first head to the wild areas on the left and right, enslave some of the wild monsters there, and then attack the dungeon monsters and boss."

Xiao Feng voiced his speculation, then passed the map to Shen Di and the others to examine in turn.

Shen Di looked it over, nodded, and said, "That sounds right; we just don't know what type of monsters are on each side, or what kind of help they could provide."

The Son of God said, "Let's first set up the resurrection formation, lay a solid foundation, then split into multiple groups to scout in all directions, to get familiar with the dungeon environment. This is a ten-day large-scale dungeon; we can't rush through it quickly."

Everyone hearing this nodded, thinking it made sense.

Although Xiao Feng is very strong, he estimates that even alone he couldn't sweep through the dungeon; he would surely encounter some special mechanism that would stall him.

Thus, he did not blindly be arrogant, and accepted the Son of God's suggestion.

"Let's open the chests first; this place is quite open, perfect for building the resurrection formation."

There are still nine chests on the ground, unknown what they will give.

"I'll open one!" Xing Yun Miao, who always felt her luck was good, without hesitation opened the second chest.

Splash~

A flash of golden light passed, and ten pieces of equipment appeared on the ground.

She picked them up and directly tossed them into the legion's loot warehouse.

In legion mode, the entire organization has a shared loot space of 10,000 slots; anything can be placed there, to be allocated by the legion commander and deputy.

Everyone opened the warehouse and saw that the ten pieces of equipment were all mid-tier divine artifacts, one of which has a level requirement of -50, usable now, and everyone was excited!

After all, this is only one-tenth of the reward from this wave of minor monsters!

"I'll open one too!"

Qing Feng Yan Yu saw that the dungeon's dropped items were quite good, and also stepped forward to open one.

Splash~

This time the drop was not equipment, but ten raw materials that can be used to forge top-tier divine artifacts, also quite good.

"Me too, me too!" A female overseas server player named "Xiao Yue Liang" also eagerly opened a chest.

This time it was scrolls: ten rank-2 scrolls lay still on the ground; although consumables, they were also a nice haul!

"Then I'll give it a try~" The Japanese little girl "Pure White Snow," who had once been chased and beaten offline by Xiao Feng and secretly cried, opened the fifth chest.

This time equipment dropped again, but not ten pieces—only one, and it was a top-tier divine artifact!

Seeing the girls pull out so many goodies, the male players felt eager to try as well.

Li Li cleared his throat and said, "It can't be only the girls opening chests; leave us guys a chance too."

"Then let's leave one!" Yun Shang Yan said with a light laugh, opening the sixth chest.

This time it was ten mid-tier divine artifacts, the same as what Xing Yun Miao got.

The seventh, eighth, and ninth chests were still opened by the girls, and they all dropped equipment.

Ultimately, the dungeon rewards are mainly equipment.

"Who will take the tenth?" Xiao Feng asked with a smile, having already taken out the materials for the resurrection formation, ready to let players whose secondary profession is artisan begin construction.

"I'll!" Zhang Fan stepped forward and casually flipped open the chest.

Whoosh~

A flash of dazzling golden light swept past, and a spirit beast egg lay still on the ground.

"Holy crap! A Tier 2 spirit beast egg!" Someone who saw the mount egg's information exclaimed.

The number of Tier 2 spirit beasts is still relatively low; not everyone knows about the existence of Nine-Colored Island, and the system only sells mythic-quality ones, with even Tier 1 being scarce.

The first wave of minions dropped a Tier 2 spirit beast egg—gotta say, the luck is really good!

"Alright, let's build the base first. Supplies are a bit low with so many people; for now we won't distribute rewards, we'll split them later after we finish." Xiao Feng said.

Nobody objected; this amount of supplies really isn't enough to split among 5000 people.

"President, leave the building materials for the resurrection formation to me—I'm a Master Artisan!"

A demolition squad elite named "Spicy Chicken Wing Tip" stepped forward and said.

The 2500 guild members brought this time are not only the strongest combat elites, but also took various other factors into account, with experts from each life profession bringing a few.

Xiao Feng gave the building materials for the resurrection formation and the healing tower to Spicy Chicken Wing Tip, saying: "Just build one healing tower for now; after we advance into the dungeon, as long as we don't suffer a total wipe, we don't need everyone to retreat, and the other four can be built ahead."

One healing tower provides HP and MP recovery for all players within a 150-meter radius, restoring 5% per second and filling up in 20 seconds, so one is enough.
