Chapter 1 The Dark Moon Graveyard of Hell

The sky was dim, and a blood-red full moon illuminated the entire Dark Moon Graveyard.

Compared to the normal Dark Moon Graveyard, this place was filled with thick fog that not only obscured vision but also carried an endless killing aura, as if one had arrived on a battlefield. Everywhere, one could feel immense oppression and heaviness, making movements sluggish.

"This is the Hell-level Dark Moon Graveyard?" Bai Qingxue surveyed her surroundings and smiled faintly.

She discovered that the fog here seemed alive, giving a sense of being watched. Moreover, the red glimmers within the fog were likely the blood-red eyes of Kobolds.

The number of monsters alone was far greater than in the normal level, not to mention the vision-obscuring fog, greatly increasing the difficulty of combat.

"Ye Feng, what do you mean? Why did you bring us to the Hell level?" Zhao Yueru looked at Shi Feng and questioned him.

Having experienced the terror of the normal level, even an idiot would know how frightening the Hell level was. This was simply not a place for humans. They hadn't even cleared the normal level, yet they were here in the Hell level. This was simply sending them to their deaths.

Bai Qingxue was also curious as to why Shi Feng had done this. Based on Shi Feng's behavior, he was definitely not a brainless person.

Even the members of Shi Feng's team were surprised. They agreed to do the normal level, but how did they end up in the Hell difficulty...

"I'm the leader now, so I have the final say. I chose the Hell level, and I naturally have my reasons. If you have any objections, you can leave. I won't stop you," Shi Feng said with a smile.

Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, the feng shui turns.

Before, he was yielding to Zhao Yueru because he couldn't reveal his trump cards. Now that they were in his territory, he wouldn't be so polite anymore.

"You... you're being a rogue!" Zhao Yueru's almond eyes widened, and she stomped her feet on the rocks, at a loss for words. Biting her silver teeth, she turned her head away, refusing to look at Shi Feng.

This bad guy actually used her own words against her, without a shred of gentlemanly conduct. Once this was over, she would definitely teach Shi Feng a lesson.

Heizi originally wanted to smooth things over, but seeing that Zhao Yueru was silent, he suddenly quieted down and secretly gave Shi Feng a thumbs up.

As expected of Brother Feng, he dared to go against even a great beauty!

He definitely couldn't do that.

"Ye Feng, are you really confident you can clear the Hell level? You need to know that although it seems like only a difference of two difficulties on the surface, the actual difficulty is increased by at least tenfold. The requirements for equipment, coordination, and command are also raised by several levels. I don't want my team members to die for nothing," Bai Qingxue asked softly.

Although the death penalty in team dungeons was much less than in small dungeons, it was still 5%. However, the Hell level was different from the normal level; the experience loss after death was as high as 10%. Therefore, one wouldn't attempt a Hell-level dungeon without at least a 70% chance of success.

"It should be fine, but we'll have to try to know for sure." Shi Feng didn't speak with absolute certainty. With the current team configuration and equipment, the chances of clearing the Hell-level Dark Moon Graveyard were extremely high. Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen the Hell level.

In his previous life, after countless team wipes and experience summaries, he had come up with several methods to clear the Hell-level Dark Moon Graveyard. If Bai Qingxue had to slowly figure it out, it would probably take a long time and many wipes.

Seeing that Shi Feng was behaving calmly, Bai Qingxue thought for a moment and chose to support Shi Feng. It was also a good opportunity to see what Shi Feng was capable of. If he performed exceptionally well, it wouldn't be bad to have him join the Tushen (God Slaughtering) Legion.

Since Bai Qingxue had nodded, the others had no choice but to obey, even if they weren't convinced. It wasn't that they believed in Shi Feng, but that they believed in Bai Qingxue's choice.

Afterward, Shi Feng began to assign tasks, which were generally the same as Bai Qingxue's assignments. The only difference was that he pulled the three Elementalist into the sharp knife squad. Instead of scouts scouting the road, they were added to the support squad to protect the healers.

"When we enter the fog later, the two MTs (Main Tanks) should activate their life-saving skills and keep following me as we rush forward. But pay attention to dodging. Everyone else should follow behind. Remember, no matter what happens, you can't stop. The healers should just keep using instant-cast skills to heal the two MTs. Don't worry about anyone else. They can use recovery potions," Shi Feng explained. "If everyone understands, everyone should use acceleration scrolls now."

Hearing what Shi Feng said, everyone became suspicious. What was he trying to do? Was this a suicide squad? And using acceleration scrolls? Was he afraid they wouldn't die fast enough?

Moreover, how much money could they earn from a dungeon run? The entire team had twenty people, which meant twenty acceleration scrolls. How much money would that cost!

"Alright, everyone use an acceleration scroll," Bai Qingxue said, seeing that everyone was unhappy. She had no choice but to order them.

The others had no choice. Acceleration scrolls were very expensive. They had only prepared two acceleration scrolls, and they were going to use one before they even started killing monsters. It was simply too extravagant.

However, the members of Shi Feng's team didn't think it was a big deal. Acceleration scrolls had long become a necessary item for them to grind monsters and kill elites. Everyone had six or seven on them.

After everyone used the acceleration scrolls, they followed Shi Feng to the entrance of the maze area.

"Everyone stay close. If you get separated, I won't care," Shi Feng reminded them in the team channel.

Hearing what Shi Feng said, everyone became nervous. If they got separated, it would mean certain death.

"Run!" Shi Feng saw that everyone was ready, so he activated the One Against a Thousand title, further increasing everyone's attributes and allowing them to run faster.

Before everyone could be surprised by the increase in their attributes, they saw Shi Feng start running. They all followed closely, disappearing into the fog.

The visibility in the fog was very short, barely allowing them to see within a range of 5 yards.

After following for a while, Shi Feng suddenly said, "MTs activate life-saving skills, healers heal."

Hearing Shi Feng's command, the two MTs activated their life-saving skills, and the healers cast one healing spell after another on the two MTs.

Then, they saw black lights emerge from the fog, striking the two MTs and causing terrifying damage. Fortunately, the healers were constantly healing, and the MTs were moving at high speed, so the chance of being hit by the black lights was small.

With the two MTs taking the damage, the others naturally didn't have to worry.

The group followed Shi Feng for more than ten minutes, making countless turns. Everyone was confused. They used another acceleration scroll during this time. If the healers ran out of mana, they would drink mana recovery potions. This made the members of the Serpent's Kiss feel extremely distressed. This wasn't a dungeon run; it was simply throwing money away.

Moreover, everyone clearly felt that countless monsters were following closely behind, constantly roaring. As long as they stopped, they would be certain death.

Fortunately, this place was like a maze, with many roads and narrow passages, making it difficult for the monsters to chase and attack.

"Turn left into the small path ahead. The two MTs block the entrance of the small path. Use your life-saving skills, healers heal like crazy. Heizi, prepare Hell Flame. If the MTs can't hold on, the three Elementalist use Frost Nova to stop the monsters from coming in. If the MTs die, all melee go block the path, no attacking allowed!" Shi Feng saw the small path not far away and immediately shouted in the team chat.

The group rushed into the small path, and the two MTs were just enough to block the road.

As soon as the two MTs took their positions, they felt a huge force attacking them, causing them to retreat continuously. Damage numbers kept appearing above their heads. Seeing that they were about to be knocked away, Shi Feng placed his hands on their backs, making them feel as if they were leaning against a wall, no longer retreating.

"Heizi hurry, Elementalist prepare Ice Ring," Shi Feng urged.

"Ready," Heizi chanted the final incantation.

"MTs retreat, Elementalist Ice Ring!" Shi Feng shouted.

Then, an Ice Ring spread out, freezing all the monsters in place, causing them to be unable to move. A damage number of twenty-plus appeared above each of their heads.

"Such high ice resistance," Zhao Yueru frowned slightly, very dissatisfied with the damage dealt.

At this moment, streaks of emerald green flames soared into the sky, causing over 300 damage each, lasting for 5 seconds. The monsters' health continuously decreased, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

Even Heizi himself was stunned. The damage was too high. They were elites and special elites after all, so it would have been good if he could do over a hundred damage.

Heizi didn't know that the Kobolds in the Dark Moon Graveyard lived in this cold place all year round, liking cold and fearing fire. Attacking with fire magic, especially the Zombie Kobolds, which feared fire the most, could increase the damage several times over.

After a wave of Hell Flame, the two MTs stepped forward again. Because the road was very narrow, there were very few monsters facing them at the same time, only two or three. If there were large Zombie Kobolds, one would fill the entire passage. Moreover, they couldn't unleash their power, with at most one or two Flying Claws attacking the MTs, which were shared between the two MTs, posing no threat at all.

More than ten minutes later, all the Kobolds that had rushed over were killed by Heizi's Hell Flame, causing everyone's experience to soar. In addition, there was a pile of dropped items.

The members of the Serpent's Kiss were amazed. It wasn't just the magic of Heizi that amazed them, but more so Shi Feng's method. He could find this kind of method and place. His observational skills and mind were too good.

The members of the Serpent's Kiss had always admired and respected the strong. They all felt ashamed of the previous slander against Shi Feng.

Even Zhao Yueru, seeing Shi Feng's command, had nothing to say. However, she still hated Shi Feng in her heart, secretly sighing at how stupid these monsters were.

"As expected, he has some skills. No wonder he leveled up to level 6 so quickly." Bai Qingxue began to re-examine Shi Feng's strength. She didn't expect Shi Feng to be able to do this. Not only did he have a title that increased the team's attributes, but he also had such terrifying observational skills. It could be said that Shi Feng's performance completely exceeded her expectations. If the team had someone like this in the future, dungeon攻略 (gong lüe - strategies) would be much easier.

"A total of twenty-eight pieces of equipment dropped, including nine Mysterious-Iron ranked pieces and the rest were Bronze equipment. Let's allocate them according to class," Shi Feng organized the drops and sent out the equipment. They would be allocated according to class, and equipment of the same class would be rolled, with the person with the higher roll winning.

Hearing Shi Feng report the loot, everyone gasped in surprise, too excited to speak.

Mysterious-Iron ranked equipment was already top-tier equipment.

They hadn't even dropped a few pieces of Bronze equipment after killing so many small monsters in the Dark Moon Graveyard before. Now, they had dropped so many Mysterious-Iron ranked and Bronze equipment after killing just a large group of small monsters.

The drop rate was too terrifying!
