"A total of five items dropped," Zhao Ming said. "Although it’s a Silver Lord, the drop rate doesn’t seem as good as the Ancient Guardian on the second floor."

Everyone gathered the loot.

The Prison Beast dropped two pieces of Green Equipment, two materials, and one special item.

Hang Yu said, "The Ancient Prison Beast’s drops aren’t as plentiful as the Ancient Guardian’s, but it will drop level 14 Bright Green Jewelry series, like this necklace."

He showcased a necklace.

[Ancient Prison Beast’s Soul Power Necklace], level 14 equipment, Green Upper Grade Quality, Soul Power +12, Physical Defense +10, Magic Defense +10, Fire Attribute Resistance +20, Durability 30.

Zhao Ming exclaimed, "Such a high Soul Power bonus!"

Hang Yu said, "The Prison Beast series jewelry is top-grade level 14 Green Equipment, with attributes like Strength, Agility, Intelligence, Soul Power, Divine, Defense, and Attack. The Prison Beast series jewelry is excellent Fire Resistance gear."

Jiang Nan clicked his tongue and said, "Does every piece of Prison Beast series jewelry add 20 Fire Resistance? If you wore a full set of Prison Beast jewelry, wouldn’t the Fire Resistance stack up to a terrifying level?"

"Yeah, Boss, if you wear a full set of the Prison Beast series jewelry and carry the Heart of the Fire Element King, with high Fire Resistance and high Immunity, even if thirty or fifty of us specializing in Fire Technique came at you, we’d have to kneel and call you grandpa!"

Zhang Xiaoqiang said.

Zhao Ming nodded, "Ordinary level 14 Green Equipment is very valuable. The Prison Beast series attributes are so high, and with such strong Fire Resistance, it’s highly targeted and worth collecting!"

"Besides the Prison Beast series equipment, the materials dropped by the Prison Beast are also very important to us."

As Hang Yu spoke, he picked up a Crystal Stone.

This Crystal Stone was entirely green, about the size of a fist.

"This is a Green Ancient Magic Crystal, a Bright Green Quality material. From what I know, three of these Green Ancient Magic Crystals can be smelted into one Blue Ancient Magic Crystal, which is an important material for the Ancient Set."

There aren’t many sources for Ancient Magic Crystals.

The Ancient Prison Beast has a chance to drop them.

Additionally, they can be obtained by collecting from the Ancient Prison Beast’s corpse.

Once everyone understood the value of the Ancient Prison Beast’s loot, they were immediately motivated and interested in hunting this type of monster.

"Make haste!"

"We must clear this hidden map within a day."

"Leaving this hidden area, we can directly reach the core area of the third floor of the Ancient Prison. We must get there before Kaliemlo."

Without any surprises.

Kaliemlo is probably still on the second floor.

Because there are many high-quality Lord Monsters in the second-floor prison cells, and even some Overlord-class monsters, even if Kaliemlo passed on these Lords, he wouldn’t pass on the Overlord-class monsters.

But if he wants to farm Overlord Monsters.

He won’t be able to get to the third floor so quickly.

If Hang Yu’s team moves fast enough, they can definitely reach the third floor of the prison before Kaliemlo.

The team moved quickly.

The labyrinth in the third-floor hidden area is even larger than the second floor.

There are 50% more Ancient Prison Beasts than Ancient Guardians.

With Hang Yu’s exceptional Flame Damage Immunity, he’s like a fish in water in this place.

One after another.

They eliminated thirty-five Ancient Prison Beasts.

Eliminating five or six hundred Ancient Prison Patrol Soldiers.

No doubt, this is a significant undertaking. Hang Yu’s team went offline to rest for a few hours before continuing, finally clearing out practically all the hidden monsters on this third floor.

The results were glorious.

Hundreds of White Items dropped.

Sixty-five Green Ancient Magic Crystals.

A total of forty-one pieces of Ancient Prison Beast series jewelry!

These forty-one pieces aren’t ordinary equipment but Green Equipment!

Though the top echelon of players has started acquiring one or two pieces of Blue Equipment, those people are one in a million. For 99.99% of people, Green Equipment is still synonymous with high-end, expensive, and classy!

Moreover.

This isn’t some 5 or 6-level Low-level Green Equipment.

The Prison Beast series equipment is advanced and of high quality!

All four major class needs for innate attributes are covered, from Constitution, Life Energy, Spiritual Power, everything is represented; the loot was overflowing, leaving everyone grinning broadly.

During this process.

Hang Yu accumulated half of his Green Essence.

Zhao Ming and Xu Tianhua were not far from level 12.

"Wow, over there is the BOSS room. I can already smell an extremely dangerous aura, looks like we’re in for a hellish battle."

The group walked into a grand hall.

In this place, there were only two monsters.

Golden Prison Beast, level 14 monster, Golden Lord Monster.

Ancient Prison Warden, level 14 Demon Subspecies, Bronze Overlord-class monster.

The Golden Prison Beast is different from the ordinary Prison Beast; it doesn’t have flames burning on it, instead, it has a golden hue that appears more restrained, and it’s even stronger, not inferior to the previous Guardians, roughly equivalent to Hang Yu’s strength.

But.

It’s not the main character.

The Ancient Prison Warden is a humanoid monster.

It’s the biggest hidden BOSS in the Ancient Prison, currently standing beside the Golden Prison Beast, a full four meters tall, with flashy demon bat wings, impressive reverse-jointed legs, topped with a pair of standard demon horns. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Its dark body outlines a massive male figure.

It’s dressed in armor that flows with lava and doesn’t have a weapon, or perhaps its claws are its weapon, exuding an oppressive aura that brings immense pressure to everyone present.

Zhao Ming’s calm face showed a hint of emotion: "Is this... an Overlord-class monster? We’ve never challenged a monster of this level before."

Jiang Nan sneaked a peek and immediately felt a tinge of fear, just like the natural intimidation high-level beings have over low-level ones.

The aura of an Overlord-class monster.

Is enough to overwhelm humans now!

Hang Yu encouraged everyone, "We’ve come this far smoothly; we shouldn’t fall in front of this guy."

Xu Tianhua nodded, "An Overlord-class monster... I haven’t heard of anyone hunting one before. If we manage to take it down, we’ll be setting a new precedent!"

Hearing this.

The slight fear was immediately overshadowed by fighting spirit.

Yeah, defeating an Overlord Monster would mark another milestone achievement!

Moreover, as a humanoid Overlord, its drop rate should be very high. Just imagining Blue Skill Stones and Blue Equipment is enough to get anyone excited!

Qin Mu couldn’t help but ask, "How do we fight it?"

Hang Yu said, "The Golden Prison Beast beside the Warden is too tricky. We don’t have the capacity to handle two attacks simultaneously, so we should focus one at a time, dividing the tasks."

Zhao Ming immediately said, "I’ll team up with Jiang, hold off the Warden, and stall him for a while. You guys take down the Golden Prison Beast?"

Hang Yu vetoed this suggestion: "Old Zhao, despite your defense being the highest among us, trying to withstand continuous attacks from an Overlord monster is still a bit of a stretch."

"Then what do we do?"

"I’ll hold off the Warden. You all attack the Golden Prison Beast together. I should be able to last ten minutes. If you act quickly, that should be enough time."

In terms of defense.

Hang Yu surely isn’t as solid as Zhao Ming.

While Hang Yu’s base attributes surely surpass Old Zhao’s, his equipment mostly boosts Strength or Agility, whereas Old Zhao’s gear generally enhances Constitution or Life Energy, which balances the attribute disparity.

In addition, Old Zhao now masters five or six formidable defensive skills and possesses the extremely powerful, almost life-extending Innate Skill, Divine Steel Armor.

Overall.

Rarely can anyone match Zhao Ming’s defense.

If even he can’t withstand the Warden’s attacks, Hang Yu going in would seem equally dangerous, but Hang Yu has his advantages with high agility, quick reflexes, and movement speed.

Plus, Hang Yu knows the Warden well enough.

Some attacks don’t necessarily require a direct hit to be tolerated.

They can be selectively dodged.

The Warden’s attributes are fire, thunder, and darkness, three attributes.

With Hang Yu possessing the Heart of the Fire Element King, he can directly counter the Fire Attribute attacks, so he only needs to be careful of the thunder and dark attributes. Maintaining this for around ten minutes shouldn’t be too much of an issue.

"Get ready!"

Jiang Nan applied several Enhancing Skills to Hang Yu.

Under her talent’s influence, each Enhancing Skill’s effect increased to 61%, which is quite impressive.

It began!

"Good luck!" Hang Yu encouraged, "The Golden Prison Beast’s strength should be similar to mine. With all of you plus the dog and ants, just fighting an equivalent of me should be more than manageable."

Upon hearing this.

Their faces immediately fell.

They truly didn’t have that kind of confidence.

Zhang Xiaoqiang immediately complained, "Boss, could you not use yourself as a measuring stick? Now we have even less confidence, considering you’re invincible in our eyes."

Hang Yu laughed heartily, "Alright, let’s move out!"

The group officially charged into the grand hall!
