Reincarnation Of The Strongest Sword God - Chapter 63

Chapter 63

Chapter 63 - Mountain Beast Fighter

The sky was a dull grey . A full moon shone, scattering faint silvery rays throughout the tranquil forest . From the crystal clear lake, one could hear the croaking of frogs . Fireflies were dancing throughout the forest . The scene was like a fantasy from a children's fairy tale .

This place was the Moonlight Forest, also known as the 'Land of Eternal Rest' by players .

The moment Shi Feng arrived at this place, the first thing he did was take out an Isolation Scroll . Immediately, he activated the magic contained within the scroll .

The dazzling magical runes written on the scroll came rushing out, and Shi Feng's body suddenly became blurry . If looking from a far distance, it was very hard to notice Shi Feng's existence .

Each Isolation Scroll cost 40 Copper Coins . It was practically the entire fortune of an average player .

Although the price was high, its effects were remarkable . The Isolation Scroll could greatly decrease a player's sense of presence, making it hard for surrounding enemies to discover them . The scroll had a duration of half an hour, and it was a must-have tool when exploring dangerous areas .

Although it was not as effective as an Assassin's Stealth, it was better than nothing for Jobs that did not possess Stealth .

When the Isolation Scroll was used, within a 30-yard radius, players would not be easily discovered by Common Monsters below Level 15 . Unless, of course, said player was courting death and attacked the monster .

Following which, Shi Feng infiltrated the forest . He headed towards the central region of the Moonlight Forest in search of Moonstones, wanting to remove the hateful curse even a little faster .

The Moonlight Forest was a Level 9 monster area . Its location was not in Star-Moon Kingdom, but an isolated space . Every City had a Teleportation Gate directed towards the Moonlight Forest . In Shi Feng's previous life, over 90% of the Level 9 players in God's Domain would grind for treasure here . However, even if a player were already Level 10, the place would still massacre them . That was because the monsters here usually stayed in groups of three to five, and they possessed powerful skills . A single misstep could cause a party-wipe . Even so, players would still persevere, rushing to their deaths over and over as if they were possessed . As a result of the constant deaths, the Moonlight Forest was referred to by others as the Land of Eternal Rest .

Meanwhile, the reason these players would persevere to such a degree was mainly that the monsters here dropped Gemstones . Moreover, the drop rate was relatively high . The number of Treasure Chests here was also high . As long as one found a Treasure Chest, there was an 80% chance to obtain Gemstones .

Gemstones were very valuable in God's Domain . The reason being, they were able to increase the Attributes of a piece of equipment . Depending on the color of the Gemstones, the Attributes they increased were also different: red increased Strength, yellow increased Agility, blue increased Endurance, purple increased Intelligence, and green increased Vitality . A Tier 1 Gemstone could increase an Attribute by 2 points . However, such an amount must not be belittled . A piece of Bronze Equipment could have one Gemstone embed into it, whereas a piece of Mysterious-Iron Equipment could have two Gemstones into it . If every piece of equipment worn by a player were outfitted with Gemstones, a number of accumulated Attributes would be very terrifying .

That was why the demand for Gemstones was extremely great . The prices of Gemstones would always remain high, causing many players to take the great risk of farming Gemstones at the Moonlight Forest .

Moreover, there were various resources such as ore, herbs, rare food materials, and so on in the Moonlight Forest . However, the most well-known part about the Moonlight Forest was still the fifty-man Dungeon, the "Sleeping Fortress," that resided there . The Dungeon was also the location to exchange Card Sets . However, only after the Dungeon had been cleared by a team, would players of the same Area be allowed to enter the Dungeon to exchange their Card Sets .

However, Shi Feng's current goal was not the Card Sets, but the Moonstones . The Moonstones could only be found in the core area of the Moonlight Forest . Only, Shi Feng could not help but be careful when taking action . Not mentioning the extreme dangers found in the Moonlight Forest, Shi Feng was just Level 3 right now, and he was entering a Level 9 monster area .

If he were to die an accidental death, then the 200,000 EXP he collected would be for naught, and he would have to start collecting it all over again . He had yet to reach Level 10, so he could not activate the Teleportation Gate found in Cities . If he were to die, his only choice was to return to Red Leaf Town; if he wished to return to this place, his only choice was to collect the required experience .

Currently, Shi Feng was far behind the leading experts regarding level . It would be an absolute nightmare if Shi Feng were to die once and have to collect another 200,000 EXP .

Just after entering the forest, Shi Feng could see Level 9 Shadow Leopards hiding either up in the trees or in the bushes, each of them prepared to ambush their foe . If it were not for the Isolation Scroll, Shi Feng would have long since been discovered .

Shi Feng naturally wasn't an opponent for a Level 9 monster, so he could only avoid them . Besides, his goal here was not to kill monsters, and even more so, there was no need for him to pick a fight with the Shadow Leopards .

Shi Feng carefully circled the Shadow Leopards, one after another . After spending more than an hour doing so, he arrived at a wide and towering forest made of stone .

In this stone forest existed a group of battle maniacs called Mountain Beast Fighters . They were a group of tenacious warriors that did not fear suffering . The thing they loved most was battling, and the fiercer, the better . At the same time, they were also guarding a large pile of treasure, and amongst the treasure was the rarely seen Moonstone .

However, the entire stone forest was filled with these armored, gigantic creatures . Wielding a spiked club the height of two people, these creatures patrolled the stone forest, preventing anyone from entering . If Shi Feng were to set foot in the stone forest, there was a 100% chance for him to be discovered . At that time, a group of those Mountain Beast Fighters would come rushing over, and a swing from each of those spiked clubs would easily turn Shi Feng into meat paste .

Level 9

HP 1100/1100

"Looks like I can only clear the way slowly . " After searching for half a day, Shi Feng still could not find any safe way to penetrate the heart of the forest . His only choice was to kill his way there .

Shi Feng could not help but admit that the difficulty of an Epic Quest was indeed very hard . This was just the beginning, yet he was already required to face off against the Level 9 Mountain Beast Fighters . He did not know what kinds of challenges he would meet further down the line .

Fortunately, he was very familiar with the terrain of the Moonlight Forest . He knew many methods to deal with the Beast Warriors before him .

The Mountain Beast Fighters were abnormally powerful, and their attacks were out of the ordinary . Even Shield Warriors and Guardian Knights of an equal level were unable to take more than a few hits from them . However, their bodies were enormous, resulting in their Movement Speed being relatively slow . In Shi Feng's previous life, there were many Elementalists who used Frost Arrow to reduce their speed . They then utilized the unique terrain of the stone forest to avoid the attacks from the spiked clubs, kiting and killing the Mountain Beast Fighters .

Following which, this stone forest became a holy ground for ranged players . Mountain Beast Fighters could be seen being kited through various means throughout the stone forest .

Although Shi Feng did not possess any speed reduction skills, he could use other methods to supplement it . As for kiting the Mountain Beast Fighters, he had the rare skill, Defensive Blade[1], which could increase his attack range by quite a lot . Shi Feng did not believe that a Sword King expert, such as himself, could not beat a Level 10 Elementalist regarding utilizing the terrain to dodge attacks .

After properly observing the terrain, Shi Feng ran practice simulations in his mind a total of five times .

Carrying out mental simulations would have a tremendous effect during actual operation . Hence, every expert would often carry out mental simulations of the operation before actually taking action .

The reason why experts were experts, was because of the preparations they made were much greater than others .

There would often be many average players who would admire the experts in God's Domain . They would lament over their own skills being poor, determining that they would never be able to reach the level of these experts . In reality, however, they did not know how great of an effort these experts were putting into each day . The suffering these experts went through each day far exceeded the average player . It was the reason why they could shine brilliantly .

After running through the simulations, Shi Feng took out a Black Steel Beer and a Speed Scroll .

The Black Steel Beer could reduce a monster's level by 2 . In addition to the Attributes of the Abyssal Blade, Shi Feng would not be suppressed due to the level difference, even when facing a Level 9 monster . He would be able to deal damage normally . As for the Speed Scroll, each one of them cost 25 Copper Coins . It increased the user's Movement Speed by 25% for a duration of 10 minutes . This scroll was a lifesaving item when out in the wilderness . Shi Feng bought a total of twenty of them just for such occasions .

If the average player were to learn about this, they would definitely curse Shi Feng as a spendthrift . Such an item would only be used when one was in a life or death crisis . Meanwhile, Shi Feng used it for killing Common Monsters . It was just too extravagant .

If Shi Feng were not cursed, he could easily kite these monsters, just based on his Attributes . However, his Attributes were now reduced by 50% . The suppression was just too great, so it was safer to use a Speed Scroll .

If Shi Feng were to mess things up, it would not just be a matter of losing a level . He would have also wasted 200,000 EXP .

Shi Feng took a deep breath, relaxing his body as he looked towards the closest Mountain Beast Fighter . Following which, his two feet exploded with strength, rushing towards the Mountain Beast Fighter .
