In the quiet herb garden, Shi Feng discovered quite a few Level 65, Tier 3 Demonic Guards and Two-headed Demonic Hounds in the courtyard as he logged in . Unlike the Demonic Beasts wandering about, these Demonic Guards patrolled the inner courtyard in groups of ten, with two Demonic Hounds accompanying each group .
Now, it was practically impossible to reach the tower safely . -
[Demonic Guard] (Dark Creature, Demon) Level 65 HP 30,000,000/30,000,000
[Two-headed Demonic Hound] (Dark Creature, Great Lord) Level 65 HP 52,000,000/52,000,000
- Even with Anna and Kite's assistance, taking on twelve Great Lords at the same time would be suicidal .
What a tight security . This quest really isn't giving me any chances to break through . After observing the patrolling monsters' pattern for over ten minutes, Shi Feng smiled bitterly .
Because he had ransacked the herb garden earlier, Raymond wouldn't give him a second chance…
Demons were far more intelligent than Demonic Beasts . Even if he attracted only one Demon's attention, the entire squad would charge at him . They would not give him any opportunities to pick them off one by one . Moreover, several squads patrolled the inner courtyard . The moment he set foot in the inner courtyard, he wouldn't have to face just one squad . At the very least, three or four squads would chase him down .
Demons were very similar to NPCs . They were capable of cooperation . Hence, the more Demons in an area, the more combat power they could exhibit .
Even a 1,000-man team couldn't defeat so many Tier 3 Demons at the same time, not to mention one person .
It is impossible to reach the tower by force . I have no choice but to find a different way . Shi Feng temporarily gave up on the idea of breaking through the patrols . He then shifted his gaze to other locations .
The inner courtyard was very large . Although there was only one main entrance, there were quite a few side entrances leading to the inner courtyard . Only, these side entrances were not as convenient as the main entrance, which led directly to the tower .
As Shi Feng was about to move towards one of the side entrances to take a look, a noise in the courtyard distracted him .
Turning, Shi Feng noticed six massive figures moving rapidly towards the herb garden . These figures didn't notice Shi Feng as they dashed towards the Silvermoon Tree .
These six massive figures were none other than the Silvermoon Bears that had fled earlier .
After returning to the Silvermoon Tree, the Silvermoon Bears lazed about .
These Silvermoon Bears still dare to return? Shi Feng was slightly confused as he watched the Silvermoon Bears snooze peacefully .
Although he had already killed off the Tier 3 Demonic Hunters that had guarded the garden earlier, the magic barrier Raymond had erected was still present . This magic array was a powerful deterrent against Demonic Beasts . This was also why Shi Feng could log out of the game without worry .
Yet, the six Silvermoon Bears had resisted and barged into the herb garden .
Shi Feng had previously assumed that the Silvermoon Bears had stayed close to the tree to protect the Moonlight Fruit . However, it would seem that was not the case . After all, he had already plundered everything the Silvermoon Tree had to offer .
Hm? That's not right . Why do these Silvermoon Bears seem a little larger than the ones I saw from before? Seeing the slumbering Silvermoon Bears, Shi Feng activated Omniscient Eyes .
-
[Silvermoon Bear] (Demonic Beast, Great Lord) Level 65
HP 80,000,000/80,000,000
- These bears actually had 6,000,000 more HP than the Silvermoon Bears he had encountered earlier .
Why have they grown stronger? Shi Feng was slightly confused .
Monsters didn't grow stronger unless they underwent an evolution or became a Mutant .
However, it was very clear that neither scenario had happened to these bears .
Could there be something special near the Silvermoon Tree? But I don't think I felt anything different when I was harvesting the Moonlight Fruits .
Shi Feng's curiosity grew . However, no matter how he racked his mind, he could only think of one possibility .
There was no other explanation for why these Silvermoon Bears would return to rest beside the Silvermoon Tree shortly after he had killed the Demonic Hunters .
Shi Feng then slowly approached the Silvermoon Tree .
As he walked, he surveyed his surroundings using Omniscient Eyes constantly to spot for anything hidden . Although his senses did not pick up on anything when he had harvested the Moonlight Fruit, something may have hidden from his five senses .
Eighty yards… Seventy-five yards… Seventy yards…
When Shi Feng was almost within the Silvermoon Bears' detection range, he heard the sound of a system notification . -
System: You have discovered an ancient teleportation array .
System: Transferrable locations: Outer courtyard entrance requires 100 Seven Luminaries Shards; Demon Sealing Tower's first-floor main hall requires 200 Seven Luminaries Shards; Demon Sealing Tower's research area requires 500 Seven Luminaries Shards .
- So, the Seven Luminaries Shards serve this purpose as well . Realization dawned on Shi Feng when he heard the system notification .
He thought the high teleportation fees were utterly fraudulent .
Just teleporting to the Demon Sealing Tower's first floor cost 200 Seven Luminaries Shards . He could synthesize four Seven Luminaries Crystals with that amount . Currently, he only had 714 shards on him .
He had no other choice . Either he paid the exorbitant fee or fought his way through the horde of Demons .
Shi Feng chose to teleport to the research area without hesitation .
Although the price of 500 shards was high, the Moon God was famed for its knowledge in alchemy and magic arrays . Every one of the Moon God's recipes that circulated the world was extremely valuable . The various Grandmaster Alchemists coveted every one of these items . Needless to say, the Moon God's research area would be extraordinary . Shi Feng naturally could not pass up the opportunity to ransack the Moon God's research room just to save some Seven Luminaries Shards .
Immediately, Shi Feng's vision blurred . In the blink of an eye, he found himself inside a spacious, crystal hall . The walls gave off a faint, blue radiance . Even without sunlight, light filled the hall . -
System: You have discovered the research area .
- This is the research room? Shi Feng was slightly surprised as he surveyed his surroundings .
There were three paths out of the hall, and each one led to a different location . One led to the Alchemy Room, another led to the Research Room, and the last was a hallway leading out of the research area .
Shi Feng was immensely excited . As a God's private tower, there was bound to be treasure . Immediately, Shi Feng set off to explore the area .
The Moon God's Alchemy Room was like a whole new world . The room was as large as a football field, and there were all sorts of research materials and foundational books . There were also plenty of alchemy tools . Although the majority of the books and tools had been damaged beyond recognition due to the passing of time, the items that survived fascinated Shi Feng .
Any random alchemy tool he picked up was at least Secret-Silver rank . If sold on the market, they could easily fetch over ten Gold . There were over 300 Secret-Silver tools . There was also a complete set of Fine-Gold alchemy tools . The set was easily as valuable as an Epic item . However, no one would be so foolish as to sell the set, regardless of the price .
The alchemy tools' value paled in comparison to the books he found . To alchemists, these books were priceless . Among the books he found, nine were introductions to Basic Secret Alchemy Techniques . There were also two books about Advanced Secret Alchemy Techniques . These tomes were similar to Secret Technique tablets, but they were much easier to learn than the Secret Technique tablets .
In the past, even Shadow's Master Alchemists had only learned two or three Basic Secret Alchemy Techniques, and the Guild had paid a massive price to do so . Among them, the best Secret Technique had cost one Epic item to learn . Of course, this price guaranteed that one would learn the Secret Technique . If the technique had only allowed one player to learn it, it would've only cost a few hundred Gold .
If an Advanced Alchemist could learn three to five Basic Secret Techniques, their chances of becoming a Master would double at the very minimum . Anyone who learned the Advanced Secret Techniques would be guaranteed to become a Master Alchemist .
"Huh? That is…"
Suddenly, Shi Feng noticed the surrounding Mana flowing towards a dilapidated stone table a short distance away . The Mana flow was slow and weak . If not for his improved physique after consuming the Moonlight Fruit, he would've been hard-pressed to notice this Mana flow .
