Tianyun Lao Mao
Chapter 162 The Leader's One Eye (Third Update)
"Captain, where are we going?"
"Feng-ge, weren't there a bunch of swamp hippos just now?"
Heizi and Lonely Snow had been following Shi Feng deep into the swamp, not understanding what monster Shi Feng was looking for to test the Star of Light.
"The cooldown time for Star of Light is half an hour. It would be a waste to use it on a bunch of level 15 ordinary monsters. We need to find a place with stronger and more monsters," Shi Feng explained in the team chat.
The level 17 Rare Elite Swamp Lizard had been easily taken down, which showed how high Heizi's spell damage was. Not to mention using the Star of Light, it would probably instantly kill a level 15 swamp hippo with 2000 health points. They wouldn't even see its true power.
Only by witnessing its full power could he make an accurate judgment and lead the team to the most suitable high-level monster zone for leveling. That way, neither the Martial Arts Alliance nor the Underworld would expect the team to be leveling in a high-level monster zone, let alone try to ambush them.
Shi Feng led the two along a muddy path into the core area of the Silent Swamp.
He discovered a natural large mudflat, filled with groups of three to five level 20 Swamp Rhinos. Occasionally, he could see level 20 Elite Two-Horned Rhinos. In the center of this large mudflat was a small island, on which lay a huge rhino, the size of a two-story building. From a distance, he could vaguely see the data: a rhino leader, One-Eye.
"Feng-ge, this is too dangerous..." Heizi felt uneasy seeing so many level 20 rhino monsters.
Swamp Rhino, Common Monster, Level 20, HP 3200.
Two-Horned Rhino, Elite, Level 20, HP 17500.
Rhino Leader One-Eye, Special Elite, Level 20, HP 50000.
Ordinary monsters were easy enough to deal with, but elites were very dangerous, not to mention there was a special elite. Even if Shi Feng was very powerful and agile, he would still be finished if surrounded by so many monsters.
"Only here can we test the true power of the Star of Light. I'll find a way to lure more monsters. Pay attention to the spell release time," Shi Feng said, surveying the surroundings and planning his route in his mind.
"Captain, it's too dangerous. It would be a huge loss if we died," Lonely Snow objected.
There weren't just twenty or thirty monsters here, but hundreds. Each one was enough to easily kill a level 15 player, not to mention there were elites and a special elite. They were at such a low level that they would be easily discovered by the monsters and surrounded, leading to certain death.
"I'll activate an acceleration scroll. My speed will definitely be faster than theirs. After I lure them all over, Heizi, you need to cast Light's Protection on me before using Star of Light. Don't be nervous, just stay calm," Shi Feng said with a smile, seeing Heizi's tense spirit.
"I understand," Heizi nodded, suppressing the nervousness in his heart.
Then Shi Feng found a higher piece of ground and had Heizi and Lonely Snow stay there. Shi Feng activated an acceleration scroll and charged towards the rhino herd alone.
The rhinos soaking in the mud quickly discovered the intruder. After all, Shi Feng's level was too low, only level 12, which was far too different from level 20. Moreover, Shi Feng's actions weren't concealed at all, making it easier for him to be discovered.
Soon, more than twenty rhinos stood up and charged toward Shi Feng.
Although the mud didn't directly halve movement speed like water, it still reduced speed by about 30%. Fortunately, this slowdown was also very effective on the rhinos. It was impossible for them to catch up to Shi Feng who had activated an acceleration scroll.
Following the planned route, Shi Feng ran around the central island, preparing to lure all the rhinos outside the central island over. As for the leader rhino One-Eye on the island, it was difficult to deal with. If something went wrong and he got himself stuck, it wouldn't be good, so Shi Feng didn't plan to lure it.
"Feng-ge."
"The captain's movements are amazing. If it were me, I would have been rammed to death by this group of rhinos."
Heizi and Lonely Snow on the high ground watched Shi Feng dodge the rhinos' attacks in various ways. They couldn't help but sweat for him, because Shi Feng was attracting more and more. He had only run halfway and had already attracted more than a hundred. Each time he dodged an attack, he would pass by sideways, dangerously close.
However, after watching for a while, they noticed something: Shi Feng could always dodge. This was a millisecond-level dodging technique, not a coincidence or luck.
This made Heizi and Lonely Snow secretly memorize it, planning to learn it later. Having a master like Shi Feng as a demonstration was much faster than exploring these skills on their own. After watching for only a short while, they had already benefited greatly, wishing they could try this dodging technique right now.
Just when Shi Feng thought everything was under control.
An Elite Two-Horned Rhino suddenly charged towards Shi Feng from the front.
Although Shi Feng blocked this attack with Parry, he was knocked flying and landed on the edge of the island, alarming the leader, One-Eye.
One-Eye discovered that someone was disturbing its rest, and suddenly stood up. Its blood-red eyes stared fixedly at Shi Feng. Its front hooves scraped against the thick ground. With an angry roar, it suddenly rammed Shi Feng with its steel-like horns.
Compared to the other rhinos, this leader One-Eye was extremely fast. The huge impact couldn't even be stopped by the mud.
This was the leader rhino's unique skill, Rampage Ram.
If hit by the horns, even a level 20 MT would be instantly killed.
"Come on." Knowing that he couldn't dodge, Shi Feng activated Sword's Orbit, and Abyssal Blade slashed at the horns.
Due to the absolute defense effect of Sword's Orbit, Shi Feng didn't retreat a step, but instead dealt 367 points of damage to the leader rhino One-Eye.
"What powerful defense," Shi Feng was secretly shocked.
However, Shi Feng didn't plan to entangle with the leader rhino One-Eye. Before the rhino One-Eye used War Stomp, Shi Feng used Silent Steps and appeared behind a swamp rhino 30 yards away, dodging the War Stomp.
"Awoo!" Seeing that the target had dodged, rhino One-Eye became even more furious, and then charged towards Shi Feng, but this time there was no Rampage Ram, it was just faster than the other rhinos.
"Heizi, use the skill," Shi Feng said in the team chat after arriving at the designated location and stopping.
Although he had attracted the unexpected leader rhino One-Eye, the plan had to continue, but he had to be more careful.
"Leave it to me," Heizi couldn't wait any longer.
Instantly, Shi Feng's whole body was enveloped in golden light, which was one of the skills of Mavis's Guard, Light's Protection, immune to all magic damage, physical damage reduced by 80%, and restores 5% of health per second, lasting for 20 seconds.
Then Shi Feng also activated the Tier 2 Life Shield, which greatly increased his health.
More than two hundred rhinos surrounded Shi Feng. If it were a level 20 MT, they would have been trampled to death, but Shi Feng withstood it. By dodging, he dodged more than 60% of the attacks, and with 5% health restored every second, he stubbornly held on.
"Almost there, shine, Star of Light!"
Seeing that all the monsters had gathered, Heizi used another major skill of Mavis's Guard, Star of Light. After chanting the last incantation, Heizi's magic power was instantly consumed by more than half.
Then Heizi pointed his staff at the sky. The dark clouds above the mudflat were pierced and dissipated, and the sky trembled. Suddenly, a huge golden magic array appeared in the sky, illuminating the core area of the entire Silent Swamp.
