The Ancient Guardian Chief could simultaneously use skills from both Spiritual Profession and Magic Profession, with as many as over twenty skills, very diverse, highly effective, and terrifying in magical power, which somewhat left people in a fluster.

However.

No matter how powerful it was.

At best, it was only at Hang Yu’s level.

Or slightly stronger than Hang Yu due to level advantage, but because it didn’t possess high intelligence, its threat level was actually lower, especially under Hang Yu’s team’s coordinated siege.

Ultimately.

Its fate.

Was similar to the Great Warrior Sand Black Viper of Sand Spring City.

After the Ancient Guardian Chief fell, it dropped seven or eight green items in one go, including two blueprints of the Ancient Spirit Magic Set.

"It’s out, the blueprint is out, the blueprint for the Spirit Magic Cloak!" Jiang Nan excitedly brought over the blueprint: "We’ve now gathered the complete set of two Ancient Sets!"

"That’s fantastic!"

Zhang Xiaoqiang laughed heartily.

The two uncles Zhao and Xu were also very satisfied.

Hang Yu put away the blueprints and checked the other items dropped by the Ancient Guardian Chief, including two pieces of jewelry for Magic Professionals and Spiritual Professionals, three powerful Skill Scrolls, and a Second Tier Skill Stone.

The Skill Stone caught Hang Yu’s attention.

[Magic Professional Skill Stone: Spiritual Overdraft Skill], Green Upper Grade Quality, Arcane Researcher Inheritance, prerequisite inheritance: Secret Researcher. Learning requirement: 800 Spiritual Qi.

This Skill Stone is quite good.

Hang Yu distributed the other loot to the others, keeping the blueprints and Skill Stone for himself since the Arcane Researcher is a Second Tier Inheritance, with its prerequisite inheritance Secret Researcher being precisely the First Tier Inheritance Hang Yu possesses.

This inheritance sequence is an important support sequence in Magic Professionals.

Its inheritance system rarely has attack or defense skills, mostly consisting of passive or support skills, and many Magic Professionals, even Spiritual Professionals, can enhance their strength by building this inheritance sequence later on.

Likewise.

It is also useful for Hang Yu.

Hang Yu used the skill without hesitation.

He then invested over two thousand Spiritual Qi to upgrade the skill to full level.

[Spiritual Overdraft Skill] (Arcane Researcher Inheritance), current level 3, when Spiritual Power is exhausted, it can continue to overdraft up to 45 points of Spiritual Power, overdrafting 1 point of Spiritual Power consumes 2 points of Life Energy.

Hmm.

Another Second Tier Passive Skill.

The benefit of this Second Tier skill is obvious; it allows overdraft of Spiritual Power when necessary, though it causes a loss of Life Energy, posing a significant threat to Magic Professionals with relatively low Life Energy.

Overdrafting 45 points of Spiritual Power.

Results in a loss of 90 points of Life Energy.

This pressure is not that great for Hang Yu, who possesses abundant Life Energy; especially advantageous for someone with the Frenzy Lord Inheritance, where the benefits significantly outweigh the downsides.

"This trip was really worth it! The gains are excellent!" Jiang Nan said with a face full of longing, "Our Azure Dragon mastering the blueprints of two Blue Equipment suits covering four occupation series, once we manage to create it, it will definitely take the world by storm."

Joyous.

The others also gained quite a few good things.

The Equipment and Skill Stones gained so far have exceeded what would be earned from over ten or twenty regular monster-hunting sessions.

How could he not be happy?

He was overjoyed!

Moreover, so far, the operation is only halfway through; could there be even greater gains in the hidden area of the third layer?

"We can’t waste time."

"Let’s head to the third layer immediately."

Hang Yu’s team entered the third layer, and as they reached the third layer, they were hit by an overwhelming wave of heat.

"Oh, boss, it’s really hot in here, ten times hotter than the Death Desert, it’s simply not a place for a dog." Wang Ergou looked around, finding that even the walls were red and stepping on the floor was like walking on a frying pan, "As a dog whose ancestors contracted polar transportation, possessing 100% pure sled dog blood, I am expressing my discomfort with this place."

Dog always needs training.

Every time he faces a little difficulty, he complains.

The group began exploring this layer.

"Lord Monster!"

"There’s a Lord Monster nearby!"

"Another large group of Lord Monsters!"

Hearing Wang Ergou’s reminder, everyone immediately became motivated.

Lord Monsters are good; Lord Monsters are valuable resources. In the vicinity of Deserted Valley Town, they are rare species hunted once in one or two months; with so many people in Deserted Valley Town, it’s truly a case of too many people for too little porridge.

Seen now.

In these Ancient Prison ruins.

There are quite a few Lord level monsters!

When they noticed the appearance of the Lord Monster, their expressions momentarily froze, for they saw a blaze-lit figure slowly appearing from around the corner in front of them.

Every step closer it took.

The surrounding heat wave grew more intense.

Level 14 Silver Lord, Ancient Prison Beast!

From the outside, this monster looks like a lion or tiger with a pair of wings, except from head to toe, its skin is bright red and burning hot, even igniting in flames, resembling a Fire Qilin at first glance.

"The Ancient Prison Beast is much harder to deal with than the Ancient Guardian," Hang Yu whispered to the others, "Its attack skills are all fire attributes, not only highly damaging but also with a large attack range... Look closely at its back."

The intensely hot and burning back of the Ancient Prison Beast.

Had a team of floating humanoid monsters.

They were composed of flames rather than physical bodies,

Level 14 Gold Elites, Ancient Prison Patrol Soldiers, magic series humanoid monsters,

Each Ancient Prison Beast has a dozen or so such patrol soldiers by its side, and although they are just Elite Monsters, as magic monsters, their attack capabilities are not inferior to ordinary Lord Monsters.

Fire Elf is an Elemental Monster.

Inherently capable of partially immune to physical damage.

Once the fight starts, the tough-skinned and powerful Ancient Prison Beast charges at the front, while the Fire Elf Patrol Soldiers would launch combined magic attacks. Given the confined space, avoiding their attacks is almost impossible.

"Fortunately, I came prepared," Hang Yu calmly commanded, "I will charge at the front to attract attention, you take care of the Ancient Prison Beast, as for these patrol soldiers, leave them to me!"

Tasks were distributed.

The group immediately took action.

The Ancient Prison Beast seemed to have a high alertness, it detected the intruders from afar and instantly let out a deafening roar.

Hang Yu had just charged halfway.

A dozen Fire Elf Patrol Soldiers realized.

Each of them unleashed a fire python as thick as a leg, and a dozen giant flaming pythons quickly slithered, engulfing the entire corridor in flames, leaving no room for evasion.

Hang Yu fearlessly charged into the midst.

An astonishing scene unfolded before the others.

When the flames were about to harm Hang Yu, it was all deflected or repelled by a certain power released from within him.

Hang Yu crossed the sea of fire.

Continuously enduring fire attacks.

Remarkably, he emerged unscathed from start to finish.

Zhang Xiaoqiang was stunned: "Incredible!"

Jiang Nan and Zhao Ming also found it hard to believe.

Although these monsters are only Gold Elites, due to being level 14, they are not much inferior to level 11 or 12 Bronze Lords, estimating that even a second or third tier magic attack unleashed by Xiaoqiang could achieve such an effect.

Hang Yu disregarded magic.

Barreling through with brute force!

Xu Tianhua was initially surprised but quickly figured out why: He must be carrying the Heart of the Fire Element King.

It was a trophy dropped by the Flame Demon King.

This item grants a significant immunity to fire attribute damage, and given Hang Yu’s already strong defense, as long as he doesn’t receive excessively high attacks momentarily, it’s not surprising he can withstand attacks from a dozen Fire Elves unharmed.

"Roar!"

A thunderous roar echoed!

The Ancient Prison Beast opened its mouth to unleash three consecutive blasts.

Three flames surged out like a barrage of cannonballs.

Hang Yu snorted coldly.

Still without dodging or avoiding.

The Iron-blooded Instructor’s third-tier skill "Overlord Body Armor" activated!

Hang Yu’s skin was instantly covered with a golden light, as if he was coated with a layer of gold, giving an impression of invulnerability, an indestructible aura, then raised his left arm to shield himself.

The Dragon Bone Arm Armor already had shock-absorbing effects.

The Overlord Body Armor even more significantly ignored impacts, dizziness, restraints, and similar effects.

Moreover, this skill could massively enhance the constitution attributes for a short time, making the body as solid as a diamond; Hang Yu at this moment was like a heavy-duty tank, unconcerned about being blown away, incredibly stable.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Hang Yu crashed through three layers of flame shock waves, sufficient to flatten a small mountain, like three layers of waves, as thin as paper.

When the two came into contact.

Hang Yu didn’t feel a slightest interruption, effortlessly breaking through, and when he got close enough, he used a flash to evade the rush, leaping to the rear.

Taking advantage of the Prison Beast’s momentary stiffness after its skill missed.

Hang Yu launched a Transfer Skill on it, and the Prison Beast was engulfed by a whirlpool and suddenly teleported outside the sea of flames, thrown before the others.

"Attack!"

Zhao, Xu and the others seized the opportunity.

Qin Mu first cast Limb Seal and Silence Curse.

Zhao Ming used Absorption of Killing Qi, holding the aggro steadily, preventing the Prison Beast from turning back to attack Hang Yu.

Hang Yu confidently slaughtered the Fire Elves.

The others coordinated to pummel the Prison Beast.

In about ten minutes, they annihilated this group.
