Towards Hei Zi and Lonely Snow's astonishment, Shifeng only nodded his head in response.
"Brother Feng, your leveling speed is simply too fast."
"The highest leveled player I've seen before was only Level 9. Right now, within the entire White River City region, I'm afraid that not a single player has reached Level 10. Moreover, there is no news on the official forums of anyone entering the city after reaching Level 10. This means that no players have reached Level 10 at all. Brother Feng, now that you've reached Level 10, you are definitely the number one player in the Starmoon Kingdom."
Hei Zi was extremely excited. Only high-level players knew how difficult it was to rise from Level 8 to Level 9, not to mention from Level 9 to Level 10. The difference in EXP required was at least several times greater. Currently, Shifeng's Level was definitely far ahead of the other players.
If the members of Martial Union were to find out about this, their intestines would probably turn green with regret.
Those who played games all knew that one step ahead would always lead to another. A small gap in the beginning would only grow larger as time went on. As long as Shi Feng slowly expanded his advantage, it was only a matter of time before the members of Martial Union trembled in fear.
Meanwhile, Lonely Snow, who stood beside Shi Feng, was dumbfounded. He did not know what to say.
Previously, he was still worried that it would not be a good idea to continue tangling with Martial Union. Now that he saw that Shifeng had reached Level 10 and even brought out a pile of Secret-Silver Equipment, he was filled with confidence. If this continued, sooner or later, he could trample Martial Union beneath his feet, becoming one of the overlords of White River City in the future.
"Alright, hurry up and change your equipment. We'll go find a place to level up. Let's go find a place to level up." Shifeng helplessly smiled as he looked at Hei Zi's and Lonely Snow's excited expressions.
Previously, due to his busy schedule, he did not have the time to take care of his own party. Now, there was still some time before the trade in Blackwing City started. It was just the right time to bring Hei Zi and the others along.
In the future, he would definitely establish a Guild. However, establishing a Guild required a skeleton and core. Otherwise, it would become a mess. Meanwhile, the current party members were the skeleton and core of the future. From now on, Shifeng decided to properly increase the overall strength of the party. If everyone in the party could reach Level 10 and reach White River City as soon as possible, it would be of great help to him.
Hei Zi and Lonely Snow looked at each other and smiled. Both of them then changed into their new equipment.
Previously, the two of them were still fully geared in Level 5 and Level 6 Bronze Equipment mixed with Mysterious-Iron Equipment. Now, however, the majority of their equipment consisted of Level 8 Mysterious-Iron Equipment mixed with Level 8 Secret-Silver Equipment. Their strength had increased by a large margin. If they were to go up against the members of Martial Union, they would definitely not be in such a miserable state.
"Brother Feng, if we level up here, we'll be able to level up. Then what about Ke Le and the rest? They said that they're being watched, and even leveling up in the wild is dangerous, "Hei Zi asked worriedly.
"Relax; I've already instructed them to do something more meaningful in this town. Once Martial Union leaves the Gale Valley, I'll have them come here to level up. At that time, you guys will probably be shocked," Shifeng said, chuckling.
Hei Zi and Lonely Snow looked at the Shifeng's mysterious smile, their hearts filled with curiosity. What kind of Quest did the Shifeng arrange for Ke Le and the others to surprise them?
"Alright, let's go level up."
Shifeng smiled, not saying a word. In reality, it was not entirely a bad thing for Martial Union to keep an eye on Ke Le and the others. Previously, they did not have the time to do so. Now, however, they could not head out to level up. It was a good opportunity for them to give it a try. If Ke Le and the others could really accomplish it …
If that was the case, Shi Feng would have an easier time carrying out his plan.
Although the Silent Swamp was a Level 15 to Level 20 monster area, the surrounding area was only around the outer perimeter. However, the monsters in the periphery of the swamp were all Level 15, while the monsters inside were Level 16 to Level 18. Level 20 monsters would only appear in the inner perimeter.
Shifeng possessed the Abyssal Blade, which could reduce the level suppression by five Levels. The outer perimeter was just right for them.
"Let's go over there and take a look."
Shifeng looked at the system map, pointing towards the bubbling black pool in the distance.
Although Hei Zi and Lonely Snow did not say anything, they could not help but feel worried. After all, this place was filled with Level 15 monsters. Even if their equipment had improved, and they had no problems dealing with Level 10 Common monsters, it was impossible for them to deal with Level 15 monsters.
Just as Shifeng and the others stepped into the black pool, a large number of bubbles emerged from the black pool. A pair of large, black eyes slowly emerged from the pool, looking at Shifeng and the others in the distance.
"Brother Feng, I feel that this place isn't safe. Look, there's a pair of large eyes looking at us from the pool." Hei Zi looked at the pair of fist-sized eyes, her heart filled with goosebumps. She felt that the monster hiding in the pool was definitely not an ordinary monster.
Just as Hei Zi spoke …
At the same time, the monster in the pool floated to the surface, its massive body slowly revealing itself to Shi Feng and the others.
[Steel-skinned Hippo] (Elite Rank) Level 15 HP 6,000/6,000
"Brother Feng, that's a Level 15 Elite. Let's hurry and leave. If it chases after us, we'll be doomed," Hei Zi said nervously as she looked at the approaching Steel-skinned Hippo.
Shifeng naturally knew that it was impossible for Hei Zi and Lonely Snow to defeat a Level 15 monster, not to mention an Elite. However, he had methods to deal with monsters with special weaknesses. The hippo before them belonged to this category.
After the evolution of God's Domain, in order to make it more realistic, the weaknesses of monsters like the hippo had been strengthened. As long as a method to deal with their weaknesses was found, these monsters would be easy to deal with.
Just after the Steel-skinned Hippo emerged, a group of Level 15 Swamp Hippos emerged from the black pool. There were over twenty of them.
[Swamp Hippos] (Common Rank) Level 15 HP 2,000/2,000
Seeing these hippos leave the pool aggressively and walk over, Shifeng took out an Isolation Scroll from his bag, saying softly, "You guys should use an Isolation Scroll as well."
After Hei Zi and Lonely Snow heard this, they immediately took out an Isolation Scroll as well.
The Isolation Scroll's greatest effect was only useful against Level 15 monsters. After using it, the user's presence would be greatly reduced, becoming translucent for half an hour.
Just as the two of them finished using the Isolation Scroll, they suddenly discovered that the approaching hippos had suddenly stopped. They were looking at their surroundings, as if they had suddenly become invisible.
"Hippos have extremely poor vision. After a certain distance, they will not be able to see clearly. After using the Isolation Scroll, our bodies will become nearly translucent. Naturally, they won't be able to see us," Shifeng explained. "Hei Zi, use your Dark Arrow to attack the Steel-skinned Hippo. Make sure to maintain a distance of 25 yards from it. That way, it won't be able to see you."
Hearing Shifeng's words, Hei Zi came to a sudden realization. She immediately started trying.
A Dark Arrow flew out, striking the Steel-skinned Hippo that was dozing off, causing -24 damage. Although the damage was extremely low, the Steel-skinned Hippo was enraged. It immediately turned its head to look at the location where the Dark Arrow had come from. In the end, however, it did not see a single person. Hence, after taking a few steps towards the location where the Dark Arrow had come from, it still did not find anyone. Just as the Steel-skinned Hippo was about to return to the pool, another Dark Arrow struck its body.
The Steel-skinned Hippo was truly enraged. It let out a strong snort, abruptly dashing towards the location where the Dark Arrow had come from. However, after dashing for over ten yards, it still could not find the enemy that had attacked it. As a result, it started pacing back and forth on the spot.
Hei Zi inwardly laughed when she saw this dazed Steel-skinned Hippo from a distance. However, the Dark Arrows in her hands did not stop. She fired one after another as she ran. Very quickly, she lured the Steel-skinned Hippo away from the group of hippos.
At this moment, the pool was filled with a group of Level 15 Swamp Hippos.
Shifeng quietly approached the group.
