Chapter 717: 717
Chapter 717 - Taboo City
The Mana density here is intense .
Standing in the mist, Shi Feng suddenly felt his mind become clear and ethereal . He could see the mist’s true colors .
In God’s Domain, when players found themselves in places with high Mana density, their minds would clear, and they would feel more energetic . This greatly aided in the improvement of their Skill Completion Rates and combat techniques .
With such a high Mana density, the boost one could get in this area is no less than the Hundred Berry Wine . If players fight and level up here, they could see improvements at least five or six times faster . It’s a pity that this area isn’t easy to access .
When Shi Feng opened his system interface, he discovered that he could not contact with the outside world at all . H, he had also discovered Undead roaming down the lifeless city streets . Fortunately, they were not very high-leveled .
[Suffering Soul] (Undead, Elite Rank)
Level 60
HP 450,000/450,000
[Ghoul] (Undead, Special Elite)
Level 60
HP 700,000/700,000
These half-transparent Suffering Souls and Ghouls wandering about the city were not particularly numerous . A Level 60 party should be able to handle these monsters very easily .
Whether it was leveling up or improving one’s Skill Completion Rate, grinding monsters here would be beneficial .
After examining his surroundings briefly, Shi Feng took out an Isolation Scroll and used it . He then descended from the rooftop carefully and headed towards the Palace indicated on the map .
The city had long since died . Shi Feng could see various statues haunting the city streets . These statues had all been citizens who had received the curse . However, it was unlikely that killing those Undead would lift the curse . Shi Feng would have to deal with the problem at its source .
Based on Shi Feng’s understanding of the Thunder Beast Empire, only one person was capable of cursing an entire city .
Thunder Emperor Kaiser!
Emperor Kaiser had been a Tier 5 Sword Saint . He had only been a step away from becoming a Tier 6 God . Unfortunately, it had been so close, yet so far .
To players, the promotion from a Tier 5 class to Tier 6 required great opportunities, luck, and strength . It was even more so for an NPC . For example, in the past, even the Dark-Gold Guard Kite, with his vast potential, could only be promoted to Tier 5 . It was practically impossible for him to reach the realm of Tier 6 .
According to the legend, in order to pursue eternal life, Emperor Kaiser had mobilized his empire to carry out a taboo .
Looking at it now, it was highly possible that said taboo was related to the curse currently plaguing the imperial capital .
Damn it! The city is already in ruins, so why are there still guards?!
Shi Feng stood on the roof of a building one street away from the Palace, his eyes locked onto the mechanical guards stationed on either side of the Palace gate .
[Thunder Beast Guard] (Grand Lord)
Level 200
HP ? ? ? ? ? ?/ ? ? ? ? ? ?
The Thunder Beast Guards’ levels were just too high, so Shi Feng could not see how much HP they had . However, he could confirm one thing; their HP was mind-bogglingly high .
Normally, Grand Lords had six HP bars displayed . The Thunder Beasts had ten .
Furthermore, there were a total of eight Thunder Beast Guards…
The Thunder Beast Empire’s strength left Shi Feng in awe .
Shi Feng had visited plenty of empires before . However, this was his first time seeing such powerful mechanical guards .
The Palace was also protected by a magic array . In order to enter the Palace, Shi Feng would either have to destroy the magic array or enter through the front gate .
The first option of destroying the magic array was obviously unrealistic .
Even a Tier 6 God would find it difficult to destroy a magic array that carried such dense Mana, not to mention a Tier 1 Swordsman like Shi Feng .
Yet, entering through the main gate was also unrealistic .
Even a Level 200 Tier 4 class would not dare to provoke eight Level 200 Grand Lords simultaneously . Shi Feng was only a Level 37 Tier 1 Swordsman . The Thunder Beast Guards would send him to oblivion long before he ever reached the Palace gates .
Shi Feng had thought of using a Tier 3 Demon as bait .
However, due to the gap in levels, rather than luring the Guards away, he might draw the Guards’ aggro himself .
Do I have to give up just like this? Shi Feng was frustrated . He observed his surroundings in hopes of finding a solution .
After watching from the rooftop for some time, Shi Feng suddenly discovered something interesting .
There were plenty of Undead roaming the streets in front of the Palace . However, not a single Suffering Soul came within 200 yards of the palace gates . Only a few Ghouls would wander near .
Meanwhile, when a few occasional Ghouls and Suffering Soul tried to wander towards the gates, the Thunder Beast Guards vanquished them immediately . Only those few Ghouls remained unharmed .
The Thunder Beast Guards should be absolutely neutral . They should regard both players and monsters as enemies . So why are those few Ghouls safe?
Shi Feng was very curious . He even summoned a Tier 3 Demon, directing it to capture a few Ghouls from elsewhere and throwing the monsters towards the main gate .
Without exception, the Thunder Beast Guards annihilated every Ghoul .
This is interesting . Shi Feng could not help his smile as he watched the few Ghouls wander about before the gates .
He then directed the Tier 3 Demon to hide and waited for those few Ghouls to wander out of the restricted area .
Minutes and seconds passed quickly . However, Shi Feng did not rush .
To Shi Feng, who had taken on many adventures and quests in God’s Domain, patience was the foundation of success .
After more than an hour, a Ghoul finally exited the 200-yard restricted area . Like an eagle hunting its prey, Shi Feng directed the Tier 3 Demon to nab the Ghoul . No matter how hard the Ghoul attacked and struggled, it could not break free from the Demon’s grasp . With a flap of its black wings, the Demon put more distance between itself and the restricted area .
The Tier 3 Demon then brought the Ghoul before Shi Feng, its hand gripped the Ghoul tightly, preventing the Special Elite from moving . Meanwhile, Shi Feng activated Omniscient Eyes to inspect just what differentiated this Ghoul from the others .
The Ghoul was actually able to deter even the Thunder Beast Guards from attacking it .
The Ghoul had mutated from a human’s corpse . It still wore the noble’s clothes it had worn in life .
There had been nobles among the Ghouls the Guards had killed . Could it be that this Ghoul had possessed a higher rank while it was alive? After observing the Ghoul for some time, Shi Feng failed to discover any clues . However, he did not believe that the Main God System would have him complete this high-level quest for no good reason .
For a quest in a Level 60 map, even a Legendary Quest, Level 60 players should be able to complete it .
However, even Level 200 players would not be able to get past the Thunder Beast Guards before him, much less Level 60 players . At the very minimum, it would take a team of ten Level 200 Tier 4 players to defeat them .
Forget it . Let’s kill it as an experiment . In any case, there are a few more Ghouls I can experiment with . In the end, failing to discover any peculiarities, Shi Feng had the Tier 3 Demon finish off this Ghoul .
When the Ghoul died, it transformed into a bundle of meat and green liquid . It also dropped a few Silver Coins and some other items . Its loot was no different from the Ghouls Shi Feng had killed before .
“Huh? This is…”
