Tianyun Lao Mao
Chapter 123 Survival of the Fittest
It could be said that the Ice-Blue Demonic Flame was one of the few Tier 2 Alien Flames in the entire White River City region. It had a fatal attraction for Forgers, and the Hundred Ghosts Forest wasn't too far from Red Leaf Town. It would be a great pity if he didn't get it.
Whether Shi Feng wanted to make a lot of money or forge items, it would be of great help.
Currently, Shi Feng was still a few hundred proficiency points away from becoming an Intermediate Forging Apprentice, but even if he became one, forging the Mithril-grade Silver Dawn would be extremely difficult.
The success rate of an Intermediate Apprentice forging Mithril-grade equipment was only 2%, and the success rate of a Beginner was even more pitiful at 1%.
Even with the 20% bonus from the Forging Book, the 5% from the Black Iron Emblem, and the 5% from the Rune Iron Hammer, the success rate for an Intermediate Forging Apprentice was only 32%. Coupled with the fact that forging the Silver Dawn required three extremely rare materials, it was destined that the number of Silver Dawns forged would not be large. If he forged the Silver Dawn with such a success rate, Shi Feng definitely couldn't afford to lose. Losing dozens of silver coins once wasn't a big deal, but the materials were rare, and he couldn't get them whenever he wanted. He needed a lot of time to wait for the materials to respawn.
Moreover, the advancement of the Abyssal Blade was relying on those ten Silver Dawns to level up.
Therefore, the Ice-Blue Demonic Flame was an indispensable item.
The Tier 2 Ice-Blue Demonic Flame could greatly increase the forging success rate, not to mention the many conveniences it would bring in the future. Shi Feng had to go to the Hundred Ghosts Forest.
Shi Feng left Red Leaf Town and headed north.
Because of stamina issues, Shi Feng didn't dare to run too fast. The faster he ran, the more stamina he consumed, but maintaining a certain speed allowed consumption to keep up with the increase. However, this speed was adjusted according to the player's attributes, making it difficult to control.
When passing through the Level 5 monster area, Gray Wolf Grassland,
player corpses were scattered everywhere in the waist-high grass, mostly single players, with few small teams being completely wiped out.
After venturing a few hundred yards into the grassland, a commotion suddenly came from the dense grass ahead, and Shi Feng immediately drew his weapon.
Two Level 5 players rushed out from inside, looking very disheveled, with bloodstains on their clothes. Even the weapons on their bodies were gone. When the two saw Shi Feng, they rushed directly towards him without saying a word.
Just as the two rushed out of the grass, a group of Level 5 White-Eyed Gray Wolves also rushed out, chasing after the two. These White-Eyed Gray Wolves were chasing while howling, as if telling other wolves the location of the prey.
White-Eyed Gray Wolf, Level 5, HP 540.
Shi Feng instantly understood that these two were trying to divert the disaster.
"Kid, you're out of luck. Since you're going to die anyway, you might as well attract the wolves for us." An Assassin looked at Shi Feng and sneered.
As he spoke, the speed at which the two rushed towards Shi Feng increased a bit.
However, they greatly underestimated Shi Feng.
Just as the two were about to run past Shi Feng, Shi Feng instantly made his move, grabbing the arms of the two and throwing them directly into the charging wolf pack with his super strength.
The two hadn't even reacted when they fell into the wolf pack, knocking down three or four White-Eyed Gray Wolves that rushed up, causing them to howl in pain.
"You..." The Assassin didn't even have time to curse before being bitten on the throat and limbs by the surrounding White-Eyed Gray Wolves. His HP dropped rapidly, and he let out a painful scream.
The other Ranger was naturally no exception and was quickly killed by the wolves.
Shi Feng had no sympathy for these two.
If these two had run in other directions, they might have had a chance to survive, but they wanted to divert the disaster and ran towards Shi Feng, completely unaware that Shi Feng was more terrifying than the wolves behind them.
Just as the wolves were all attacking the two, Shi Feng seized the instant of their death and unleashed a Wind Lightning Slash.
The cyan electric arc tiger roared out of its cage, letting out a deafening roar, passing through the bodies of the White-Eyed Gray Wolves, causing a series of damage over three hundred, instantly killing all the White-Eyed Gray Wolves, leaving only a pile of charred remains.
Although he killed more than a dozen White-Eyed Gray Wolves in one blow, Shi Feng was already Level 7, and the few hundred experience points he gained could be said to be negligible.
After Shi Feng picked up the drops, he took out a Concealment Scroll from his backpack.
Because of the evolution of God's Domain, these wild monsters had also greatly improved. Not only had their sensitivity greatly increased, but they were no longer stubborn, and their range of activity had also increased a lot. The way they fought had also become more varied, closer to actual combat. The biggest change was that even if the player's level was very high, these monsters would not retreat or reduce their vigilance range, so things here had to be more careful than before, otherwise it would be easy to attract a bunch and put yourself in danger.
The players along the way died because of this. The reason why small teams were wiped out was because after killing a few White-Eyed Gray Wolves, they didn't leave quickly. The spread of blood attracted more White-Eyed Gray Wolves from the surroundings, leading to the team's destruction.
After using the Concealment Scroll, Shi Feng quickly left the Gray Wolf Grassland. Then, after passing through the Kork Great Canyon, Lake Sebo and other high-level monster areas, he spent six hours arriving at the Level 15 area, Hundred Ghosts Forest.
The Hundred Ghosts Forest had always been cursed, with no sunlight, a dead and dark place. Only cursed spirits roamed in the desolate forest. These spirits were 60% immune to physical attacks and also had 20% evasion. Their attack power was extremely high. It would take at most three attacks to deal with Shi Feng now, but their HP was only 600, and magic attack damage was increased by 100%, making it a paradise for magic-based classes to level up.
Because of the evolution of God's Domain, these cursed spirits were also very sensitive. They were different from other beasts in that they could easily smell the aura of living beings a hundred yards away, not the scent. Even stealth was useless.
However, Shi Feng was prepared. He took out a Dissolving Potion and drank it directly, which could cover up the scent of the living for ten minutes.
With the help of the Dissolving Potion, Shi Feng only needed to be careful, and he wouldn't attract the cursed spirits.
As far as Shi Feng knew, the place where the Ice-Blue Demonic Flame appeared was in the center of the Hundred Ghosts Forest, at the central fountain in Hundred Ghosts Town. Divine Radiance had gone to great lengths to obtain the Ice-Blue Demonic Flame, sending thousands of people and losing hundreds of them before clearing the spirits in Hundred Ghosts Town and successfully obtaining the Ice-Blue Demonic Flame.
Shi Feng naturally didn't have the ability to clear the spirits of Hundred Ghosts Town, but he had other methods, which were too dangerous.
When Shi Feng finally managed to reach Hundred Ghosts Town, just as he stopped to observe the town, a gust of clear wind blew through the desolate forest, and Shi Feng suddenly felt an unspeakable chill on his back.
Killer intent!
If Shi Feng hadn't gone through years of bloody battles and had an instinctive alertness to danger, he wouldn't have noticed this faint killer intent at all. This was the first time he had felt such a cold killer intent, and he immediately drew his dual swords.
In an instant, a dark shadow emerged from Shi Feng's back, followed by a silver light stabbing straight at Shi Feng's neck, and another silver light stabbing at his heart, as swift and deadly as snake venom.
Just from the attack, it could be seen that this person was definitely a top expert.
Although Shi Feng had some defenses, the speed was too fast to dodge.
