Song Jian had personally entered Abyssal Hell and had hunted quite a few Abyssal creatures, but he didn't notice any difference in the drop rate between these creatures and others.
If the increase in drop rate wasn't just a fluke, there could only be one explanation: plot-based benefits.
Soon, two more teams encountered Abyssal creatures. One was in a forest about three kilometers from the City of Hope, where a group of octopus-like Abyssal creatures was found. They were only of ordinary quality, level 46. Another team, about five kilometers to the southwest, came across a pack of Abyssal Raging Flame beasts that resembled lions with flames burning around their necks like manes. These beasts were level 48 and were extremely formidable. The team took them down, but not before five of their members were severely injured in the process, having completed exterminating all thirteen creatures.
