Chapter 40
Chapter 40 - Sun Temple
Above the scarlet colored lake, the speeding Water Elementals created waves of water that struck at the Little Fishmen's nest . Waves that were as tall as a person enveloped the entire nest, destroying many of the small wooden huts on it . The hundreds of Little Fishmen inside the nest entered a frenzy . They screamed and bellowed, each of them holding weapons as they jumped into the water and swam towards the cavern below the nest .
"Dual layered protection?" Shi Feng took a look behind him, shocked .
As if hundreds of Water Elementals were not enough, now there were also hundreds of Little Fishmen following behind . With this amount, even two or three Elite groups of players would not amount to anything .
Shi Feng had no choice but to increase his speed and rush into the cave . There was still a thread of hope for survival .
However, Shi Feng's speed underwater was very slow . It was incomparable to the Druids who had their Seal Transformation, where their Movement Speed was increased by 50% when moving underwater . Instead, Shi Feng's Movement Speed was reduced by 50% .
Soon, Shi Feng was just 50 yards away from the cavern's entrance . However, the enraged Water Elementals approached Shi Feng as if they were flying, their distance between Shi Feng shortening quickly .
42 yards… 28 yards… 20 yards… 10 yards . . .
Just when Shi Feng was only 5 yards away from the cavern entrance, the Water Elementals had caught up with Shi Feng . They waved their gigantic icy fists towards Shi Feng's head .
The attacks from Water Elementals carried a Freezing effect that reduced Movement Speed . As long as they hit Shi Feng, the Water Elementals would cling to him till death .
Shi Feng hurriedly spun around and used Parry, blocking the fist of the first Water Elemental . Using the Water Elemental's immense strength, Shi Feng's body retreated backward by quite a distance . However, the remaining Water Elementals also rushed at him .
"It seems I'll be going back to town . " Shi Feng looked at the hundreds of Water Elementals in front of him, feeling powerless .
Just when Shi Feng was about to give up, he had floated into the cavern . Inside, he saw a human-shaped ghost roaming about . It was roughly thirty yards away from Shi Feng .
Shi Feng gave caution to the wind . If he had to die, then he would die trying . At the very least, he could obtain a little more information for future preparations . Hence, Shi Feng used Wind Blade, his speed increasing by a large leap . Like a gale, Shi Feng swept through the water and rushed to the shore of the cavern, escaping the clutches of the Water Elementals just in the nick of time . The moment the Water Elementals left the water, their speed was sharply reduced . They could not catch up to Shi Feng's mad dash at all .
After leaving the water, Shi Feng quickly rushed towards the human-shaped ghost . The moment the Abyssal Blade was about to slash across the ghost's neck, Shi Feng suddenly discovered the half-transparent ghost did not actively attack him .
Shi Feng abruptly turned the tip of his sword away, the blade sliding past the ghost's side . It did not attract the ghost's Hatred .
"Close one," Shi Feng felt cold sweat down his back when he looked at the ghost's information .
[Brave One, Floyd] . (High Lord)
Level 25
HP 360,000/360,000
If Shi Feng had attacked this Brave One and attracted his Hatred, even if he had a hundred lives, he would still end up dead .
Within God's Domain, Brave Ones were only second to Heroes regarding strength . Their position within a kingdom was even higher than that of a Marquis and was second only to a Duke . Even if such a great character had died and turned into a ghost, he was still a monster of the Great Lord rank . He was a tyrant amongst monsters .
Without a hundred-men group of Elite players, it was impossible to kill off this ghost .
Could he be the guardian of this place? Shi Feng looked at the Brave One, Floyd, silently guessing in his heart .
There were usually guards posted around places with treasure . As for the Little Fishmen and Water Elementals outside, they could be considered, at most, as guard dogs . They were unfit to guard an important treasure .
Shi Feng did not dare to stay any longer . After all, there was still a large group of monsters chasing after him . He hurriedly ran towards the inner regions of the cavern .
The cavern was very large . There was a flight of stairs that led straight into the depths of the cavern and following it down ought to lead Shi Feng to the Philosopher's Stone .
When Shi Feng was right before the stairs, a sea of Water Elementals and Little Fishmen had rushed at him . It was as if they had an undying grudge against him .
"You lower lifeforms dare to sully this divine place? Prepare to receive divine punishment!" Floyd's gaze suddenly erupted in rage, pulling out a dark golden greatsword from his back . The sword gave out a surge of evil that made it seem as if it were the master of the world .
When Floyd raised the greatsword, the surrounding air started becoming heavy . Following which, Floyd gave out a loud bellow as his arms swung the greatsword with all their might . A strong wind, followed by a sword flash swept through all the Water Elementals and Little Fishmen . Each and every one of the monsters turned into ash, and the cavern's entrance instantly transformed into a pile of rubble .
"Strong!" Shi Feng exclaimed in shock . He had sorely underestimated the strength of a Brave One . Floyd's single sword could easily wipe out a hundred-men group of Level 30 Elite players . A three hundred-men group might be needed to even have a fighting chance .
It was unexpected that the Water Elementals and Little Fishmen did not even have the right to become guard dogs . They were all annihilated in an instant .
Shi Feng wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead . Luckily, he was a human and not a lower lifeform . Otherwise, his outcome would be similar to those Water Elementals and Little Fishmen .
"This place is truly vicious . I guess I can only go downward now . " Shi Feng looked at the collapsed entrance . Not even an earthworm could find a way through the debris .
The stairs that led down were spiral-shaped . The rocky walls surrounding it were also enchanted with a kind of light-based magic, brightening the entire stairwell . However, this stairwell was extremely long . Fortunately, there were no dangers here . After walking for an entire half an hour, Shi Feng finally arrived at the end of the stairwell, at the beginning of a wide and spacious hall .
The hall was about the size of an entire football field, and it looked similar to a shrine of sorts . Made out of gold and jade, the two sides of the hall were carved with an abundance of illustrations and texts . There was also an altar at the deepest part of the shrine; above the altar was a treasure chest made of pure gold . On each side of the treasure chest, there were two statues made of gold, both of them holding a greatsword in their hands .
System: Player has discovered the Sun Temple .
"Sun Temple?" It was the first time Shi Feng had heard this name . In his previous life, there was no information on the Sun Temple . It might have been because no player had activated it before, so there was no information about it on the official website . However, looking at the situation, it should be very dangerous .
However, Shi Feng couldn't care less about it as he walked towards the golden altar . His target was the Philosopher's Stone, and the golden chest before his eyes should be holding the item . The moment Shi Feng stepped onto the altar, he clearly felt a chill permeating his body . The chilliness came from the two gigantic golden statues . Shi Feng did not know what sort of consequences there would be if he continued onwards to retrieve the Philosopher's Stone .
However, he no longer had any choice . The cavern's entrance had already been sealed off, so he could only decide after grabbing the Philosopher's Stone .
Shi Feng slowly opened the golden treasure chest . Golden rays of light leaked out from the chest, illuminating the entire temple . Subsequently, the golden rays started to fade, revealing three items inside the chest . Shi Feng pocketed the items with zero hesitation .
"Crap, how could the Philosopher's Stone end up in such a state?" Shi Feng looked at the thumb-sized blood-red stone, feeling extremely disappointed .
[Philosopher's Stone] (Damaged)
Epic-rank Special Item (Dropped after death)
A sacred item for Alchemy, the Philosopher's Stone can be used to turn stone into gold, revive the dead, and has many more unfathomable uses . However, the Philosopher's Stone was damaged and broken into five pieces by the Sword Emperor, Knight . Nevertheless, the Philosopher's Stone possesses immense strength . As long as the five pieces are gathered, it will be able to recover all of its strength .
Active Effect: Due to being damaged, the Philosopher's Stone possesses less than a tenth of its original strength . It is only possible to use it for Alchemy Conversion and Elemental Refinement .
Although the effects were greatly reduced, Shi Feng was still satisfied with it . These two abilities would enable Shi Feng to accomplish a lot .
As for the remaining two items, one of them was the [Golden Greatsword], a Level 10 Fine-Gold Weapon . The other item was an [Instantaneous Movement] Magic Scroll .
"A great treasure indeed . " Shi Feng looked at the Golden Greatsword in his hands with extreme excitement . Aside from Magic Weapons, it was the best item a Level 10 player could have . If a Level 10 player were to equip this greatsword, they could definitely become invincible amongst players of the same Level .
At this moment the two statues by the side shook . Their eyes released a red glow, locking their sights on Shi Feng .
Shi Feng used the Instantaneous Movement Magic Scroll without hesitation . Golden-colored magical seals suddenly wrapped around Shi Feng . The spell on the Magic Scroll had a cast time of three seconds, and it was capable of sending the player to a selected location . This Magic Scroll was extremely precious . Although there were only a few copies of it in the entire God's Domain, dying in this place was a much greater loss to Shi Feng .
Just as Shi Feng was about to be slashed by the golden statues, he vanished from the temple .
