Level 15 monster area, Silent Swamp:
"Leader, where are we heading to?"
"Brother Feng, wasn't there a group of Swamp Hippos just now?"
Hei Zi and Lonely Snow had been following the Shifeng deep into the swamp. They did not know what kind of monster the Shifeng was looking for to test out Stars of Light.
"Stars of Light has a Cooldown of half an hour. It would be too wasteful to waste it on a group of Level 15 Common monsters. Right now, we need to find a place with stronger monsters," the Shifeng explained in the party chat.
Even the Level 17 Rare Elite Swamp Lizard was easily toyed to death. One could see just how high Hei Zi's current magic damage was. Not to mention, if she used Stars of Light, she could probably instantly kill the Level 15 Swamp Hippos with 2,000 HP. They would not be able to witness the true power of the skill.
Only by witnessing the full power of the skill could Shi Feng make an accurate judgment. He then had Hei Zi lead the party to the most suitable high-level monster area to level up. That way, be it Martial Union or Underworld, they would not be able to find a party to surround Shi Feng's party.
After the Shifeng led the two into the core area of the Silent Swamp, they found a natural lake.
There were groups of Level 20 Swamp Rhinoceroses everywhere. Occasionally, they could even see Level 20 Elite Twin-horned Rhinoceroses. There was also a small island in the center of this large swamp. A gigantic rhinoceros the size of a two-story building lay on the island. From afar, they could vaguely see the rhinoceros's data. It was a Rhinoceros Chieftain, One-eye.
"Brother Feng, isn't this a little too dangerous …" Hei Zi lost her confidence when she saw so many Level 20 rhinoceroses.
[Swamp Rhinoceros] (Common Monster) Level 20 HP 3,200/3,200
[Twin-horned Rhinoceros] (Elite Rank) Level 20 HP 17500/17500
[Rhinoceros Chieftain One-eye] (Special Elite) Level 20 HP 50000/50000
Monsters were easy to deal with. Elites were already extremely dangerous, not to mention a Special Elite. Even if Shifeng was very powerful and agile, surrounded by so many monsters, they would still be finished.
"We can only test out the true power of Stars of Light here. I'll think of a way to lure more monsters. You pay attention to the casting time," Shifeng said as he surveyed his surroundings. He planned his course of action in his mind.
"Leader, this is too dangerous. If we were to die, we would suffer a great loss," Lonely Snow objected.
There were not just twenty or thirty monsters here, but several hundred. Every one of these monsters could easily kill a Level 15 player. Not to mention, there were also Elite and Special Elites. With their low levels, it was even easier for these monsters to discover them and surround them. At that time, only death awaited them.
"If I activate the Speed Scroll, I will definitely be faster than them. However, Hei Zi, after I've attracted all of them, you have to cast Guardian of Light on me before using Stars of Light. Don't be nervous. Just stay calm, "Shifeng said with a smile when he saw how nervous Hei Zi was.
"I understand." Hei Zi nodded and suppressed the nervousness in her heart.
Following which, Shifeng found a slightly higher terrain. He had Hei Zi and Lonely Snow stay there, while Shifeng activated the Speed Scroll and dashed towards the group of Rhinos.
The Rhinos soaked in the mud quickly discovered the intruders. After all, Shifeng's level was too low. He was only Level 12. The difference between him and a Level 20 Rhino was too great. In addition, Shifeng did not conceal his actions at all. This made it even easier for him to be discovered.
In a short moment, over twenty Rhinos stood up and charged towards Xiang Shifeng.
Although the mud did not directly reduce one's Movement Speed by half, it still reduced one's Movement Speed by 30%. Fortunately, this Movement Speed Reduction was also very effective against the Rhinos. If the Rhinos wanted to catch up to Shifeng who had activated the Speed Scroll … That was simply impossible.
Shifeng followed the route they had previously planned, dashing around the central island. He intended to lure all of the Rhinos outside of the central island to him. As for the Rhino Chieftain One-eye on the central island, it was not easy to deal with. If something went wrong, it would not be good if they ended up getting caught. Hence, Shifeng did not plan to lure it over.
"Brother Feng."
"Leader's movement technique is really amazing. If it were me, I would've already been rammed to death by this group of Rhinos."
Hei Zi and Lonely Snow, who stood on the high ground, watched Shifeng dodge the Rhinos' attacks with all sorts of methods. They could not help but break out in cold sweat. Shifeng lured more and more Rhinos over. By the time they were halfway through their journey, they had already lured over a hundred Rhinos. Every time they dodged an attack, they would have to move sideways.
However, the more they watched, the more they discovered that Shifeng was able to dodge every single attack. This was simply a dodging technique with a difference of milliseconds. It was not a coincidence, nor was it a fluke.
Hei Zi and Lonely Snow secretly memorized this scene in their minds, preparing to learn it in the future. With an expert like Shifeng giving them a demonstration, it would be much faster than slowly exploring these techniques themselves. After watching for a short while, the two of them had already benefited greatly. They could not help but wish they could try out these dodging techniques right now.
Just when Shifeng thought that everything was under control …
An Elite Twin-horned Rhino suddenly charged at Shifeng from the front.
Although Shifeng used Parry to block this attack, he was still sent flying by the impact. He landed at the edge of the island, alerting the One-eyed Rhino.
Noticing that someone had disturbed its rest, One-eyed Rhino abruptly stood up. Its blood-red eyes glared at Xiang Shifeng, its front hooves grinding against the thick ground. With a furious roar, One-eyed Rhino suddenly used its steel-like horn to ram at Xiang Shifeng.
Compared to the other Rhinos, this One-eyed Rhino was extremely fast. Even the mud could not stop the massive impact of its charge.
This was the Rhino Chieftain's unique skill, Violent Charge.
As long as one was knocked down by its horn, even a Level 20 MT would be finished instantly.
"Come." Shifeng knew that he could not dodge the attack, so he activated Defensive Blade and slashed the Abyssal Blade at the One-eyed Rhino's horn.
Due to the absolute defense effect of Defensive Blade, Shifeng did not retreat even half a step. Instead, he dealt 367 damage to One-eyed Rhino.
What a powerful Defense. Shifeng was inwardly shocked.
However, Shifeng had no intention of tangling with One-eyed Rhino. Before One-eyed Rhino used War Stomp, Shifeng used Silent Steps, appearing behind a Swamp Rhino 30 yards away, dodging the War Stomp.
"Roar!" One-eyed Rhino grew even angrier when it saw its target dodge. It then charged at Xiang Shifeng. However, this time, it did not use Violent Charge. It was only slightly faster than the other Rhinos.
"Hei Zi, use your skill," Shifeng said in the party chat after arriving at the designated location.
Although they had attracted the unexpected Rhino Chieftain One-eyed Rhino, they still had to continue with their plan. They just had to be more careful.
"Leave it to me." Hei Zi had long since grown impatient.
Suddenly, Shifeng's entire body was enveloped in a golden glow. This was one of Mavis' Protection Skills, Protection of Light. Immunity to all magic damage, 80% physical damage received, and 5% HP recovered every second for 20 seconds.
Following which, Shifeng activated Level 2 Life Shield, increasing his HP by a large chunk.
Over 200 Rhinos surrounded Shifeng. If it were a Level 20 MT, they would have long since died under the Stampede. However, Shifeng withstood the attack. Through dodging, he avoided over 60% of the attacks. In addition to the 5% HP he recovered every second, he managed to hold on.
"It's about time! Shine, Stars of Light!"
Seeing that all the monsters had gathered, Hei Zi used Mavis' Protection's other major skill, Stars of Light, and chanted the final incantation.
