Chapter 15 Killing the Snake

The Two-Headed Snake King slowly approached Shi Feng with two subordinates. They didn't notice Shi Feng in the bushes, swaying their tails leisurely and holding their heads high, surveying their territory.

The two ordinary Two-Headed Snakes following closely behind were not as arrogant as the Snake King. Like bodyguards, their cold eyes scanned the surroundings. At the slightest sign of movement, they would act as the King's swords, killing any enemy unfavorable to their King.

Shi Feng quietly watched the Two-Headed Snake King approach, then turn and leave. He wasn't in a hurry to attack, but stealthily followed, using Observe to check its stats and waiting for the best terrain.

Two-Headed Snake King, Rare Elite, Level 10, HP 4000.

The other two Two-Headed Snake guards were ordinary monsters, Level 10, HP 1400.

Facing three Level 10 monsters at once, one of which was a Rare Elite, even Shi Feng, wearing a complete set of Silvermoon equipment, had to plan carefully. After all, one fist couldn't beat four hands, and snakes were extremely fast. The Snake King was even faster.

After tailing them to a sandstone area with several man-sized rocks that could block line of sight, Shi Feng finally made his move.

Fighting three Two-Headed Snakes at once was unfavorable. They had to be killed separately, prioritizing the ordinary monsters.

Shi Feng directly used Phantom Kill, ordering his Doppelganger to stand ready, while he took the lead, using Chasing Wind Sword to stab the nearest Two-Headed Snake guard.

The speed bonus and sneak attack of Chasing Wind Sword caught the Two-Headed Snake guard completely off guard. It was stabbed twice in the back, dealing -76 and -61 damage. Then, he used Double Chop, dealing another -103 and -89 damage, inflicting a bleed effect.

With a set of top-grade equipment and high-level skills, even the highly defensive Two-Headed Snake guard took a lot of damage. If it were a Level 5 ordinary player, with level suppression and high defense, they would probably only deal three or four points of damage at most.

The Two-Headed Snake guard wailed and turned to attack. The other Two-Headed Snake guard also bit, attacking from both sides.

Shi Feng smiled slightly, using Wind Lightning Slash, sending out three bolts of lightning one after another. However, the Two-Headed Snake guard reacted quickly, blocking with one head while the other head bit.

The three bolts of lightning were blocked, dealing no damage.

Seeing the venomous fangs coming, Shi Feng used Parry and activated Windwalk, blocking one attack and turning to run.

The two Two-Headed Snake guards naturally wouldn't let go of the enemy who angered them, swaying their bodies and quickly chasing after him. The unscathed Two-Headed Snake King's eyes turned cold, and it angrily chased after him as well.

But before they could run a few yards, Shi Feng's Doppelganger used Chasing Wind Sword and pounced, slashing at the snake's neck and dealing 24 damage, infuriating the Two-Headed Snake King, which bit at the Doppelganger with lightning speed.

The Doppelganger achieved its goal and also activated Windwalk, turning to leave.

This separated the Snake King from the guards. Although the two guards were tough, without the Snake King's help, they couldn't withstand Shi Feng's fierce attacks. Every move struck a vital point on the Two-Headed Snake guards. After all, the Silvermoon set wasn't just for show. Shi Feng's Agility exceeded 60 points, so even if the Two-Headed Snake guards defended in time, they would be hit by the other sword. Each strike took away sixty or seventy points of HP, and a critical hit dealt over one hundred and fifty damage.

The continuous sword strikes, like a hurricane passing through, landed relentlessly on the two Two-Headed Snake guards, causing their HP to drop rapidly. Before long, the two Two-Headed Snake guards died.

Shi Feng picked up the drops and rushed towards the Two-Headed Snake King.

At this time, the Doppelganger's HP was less than 30%, struggling to hold back the Two-Headed Snake King. The Two-Headed Snake King attacked extremely fast, occasionally spitting out venomous mist that covered a large area. With only 50% of the original stats, the Doppelganger could only constantly defend and run away, or it would have died long ago.

But now that the original body had arrived, there was no need for the Doppelganger to hold it back.

Shi Feng directly used Nine Dragon Slash, sending out nine phantom Abyssals, and then activated Sword Control Return to Heaven, greatly increasing his attack range.

Against the mist-spitting Two-Headed Snake King, he could only attack from a distance. If he stood in the venomous mist to attack the Snake King, even Shi Feng with Life Shield activated wouldn't be able to withstand it for twenty seconds.

The Two-Headed Snake King was extremely cunning. Facing Shi Feng's sword strikes, one head blocked while the other head constantly attacked the Doppelganger, ignoring Shi Feng's main body.

After only three or four attacks, the Doppelganger finally couldn't hold on and dissipated.

The Two-Headed Snake King still had more than 70% HP. It turned to stare at Shi Feng and opened its mouth to spit out a mouthful of venom, like a flying arrow, shooting out.

Shi Feng's expression suddenly sank. He dodged to the side, avoiding the venom.

After the venom hit the sandstone, it instantly penetrated it, leaving a large hole. This was the Two-Headed Snake King's corrosive acid. If a weapon was used to block it, mithril-grade weapons would be slightly better, but ordinary weapons would melt directly. Bronze weapons would lose at least half of their durability, and bronze weapons would be scrapped after two hits.

Just like that, the man and the snake began to maintain their distance, attacking and dodging each other. Shi Feng swung his sword wildly, and the sword lights made the area sparkle, while the Two-Headed Snake King spat out venom from both heads, leaving countless potholes. Occasionally, a large cloud of venomous mist would spread, leaving nothing alive.

After fighting for more than ten minutes, Shi Feng, who was occasionally poisoned, drank a Novice Recovery Potion as soon as the cooldown was over, but his HP was only 8% left. The Two-Headed Snake King still had 14% HP.

Seeing that both sides had little HP left, the Two-Headed Snake King revealed a ferocious look, its body slightly enlarged, and it suddenly leaped into the air. One head opened its mouth wide, revealing its bright, venomous fangs, while the other head spat out venomous mist, using an attack mode that integrated offense and defense. Anyone who got close would be trapped in the extremely unfavorable venomous mist.

"Is it going to risk its life?" Shi Feng could now withstand a maximum of 3 seconds of venomous mist, or one attack from the Snake King, so he took out another Novice Recovery Potion from his backpack, drank it in one gulp, recovering 180 HP, and took out the Sheep Transformation Scroll in his other hand.

Just as the Two-Headed Snake King was about to land, he directly used Sheep Transformation.

Wind Lightning Slash!

Chop!

Double Chop!

Ground Split!

After a series of attacks, the Two-Headed Snake King had 5% HP left, but it had already transformed back. The surrounding area was full of venomous mist. The Two-Headed Snake King recovered twice as fast in the venomous mist, while the enemy lost HP like crazy. Shi Feng immediately retreated, using Abyssal Shackles to immobilize the Snake King, and took out a Tier 1 Magic Scroll, Fireball Barrage, and chanted the incantation.

Five large fireballs slammed into the Two-Headed Snake King, blasting away the last of its HP, and four items dropped.

System: Killed the Two-Headed Snake King, killed a monster 5 levels higher, experience gained increased by 500%, rewarded 5000 experience points.

Shi Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief. The Level 10 Rare Elite was indeed extremely difficult to deal with. If he didn't have the Silvermoon set and a Tier 1 Magic Scroll, he would have been the one to die, but fortunately he killed it.

Among the four items, one was a Level 8 Xuan iron-grade staff for priests, Song of Life. Its stats were good in all aspects, and it also had +1 to healing skills. It was definitely a top-grade staff. Another item was a Level 10 Bronze Cross Shield for MTs. Its stats were average, but shields were rare, so it was good to get one. The last two items were Snake King Gall and Snake King Skin, rare materials for making poison and leather armor.

The quest items were all collected. After resting for a while, Shi Feng returned the quest, obtained the rare forging materials, and his level also rose to Level 5 91%, just a little bit away from Level 6.

Looking at the time, it was getting late for the appointment, so Shi Feng ran towards the Level 8 area, Fesisi Canyon.
