When Shifeng returned to the party, the Elite Night Rabbit only had one-third of its HP remaining.
Everyone's coordination was excellent. Ke Le tanked the Night Rabbit alone, while the others dealt damage. To control the Night Rabbit's aggro, Hei Zi did not deal as much damage as she could. Instead, she used Evil Whip to restrain the Night Rabbit, giving Ke Le a chance to breathe. Moreover, Ke Le's performance was excellent. His tanking was steady, and his control of the Night Rabbit's aggro was not bad.
"Ke Le, don't keep thinking about blocking with your shield. This is not a virtual reality game where you have to endure. You can also dodge to avoid the attacks. That way, you can reduce the pressure on the healers. Everyone else, pay attention to your target when you attack. Don't attack randomly. Aim for the Night Rabbit's claws or weak points. That way, you can reduce the pressure on the MTs." Shifeng did not directly assist Ke Le.
Instead, he taught them how to fight. If everyone treated God's Domain as a traditional game, the outcome would often be tragic. This was because the healers would never be able to keep up with the damage they received. Some teams would even bring an extra healer. However, this would result in insufficient damage, resulting in a team-wipe. It was not until a few months after God's Domain's launch that everyone slowly adapted to the combat style of God's Domain.
Since Shi Feng wanted to nurture everyone and lay the foundation for his future Workshop, he naturally had to let these people learn the combat style of God's Domain as soon as possible.
Everyone thought that Shifeng was also a noob, so they were somewhat dissatisfied. The experts did not say anything, so what was a noob like you giving orders for? However, Shifeng's words made sense. Everyone consciously followed Shifeng's instructions.
Ke Le also began to gradually change his combat style. He no longer rigidly used his shield to block the Night Rabbit's attacks. Instead, he would take a step back when the Night Rabbit attacked, taking the opportunity to dodge the attack. Although he still had to use his shield to block most of the time, the pressure on the healers was greatly reduced.
This change made it much easier to kill the Night Rabbits.
Several Level 1 noobs were slightly surprised. Their impression of Shifeng changed slightly. The Shifeng was not as bad as they had imagined.
Shifeng smiled slightly and did not mind. He only looked at Ke Le's performance and felt that Ke Le had done well.
Although Ke Le would become a first-rate expert ten years later, he was still far from being one right now. If he were an expert MT, he would not retreat. Instead, he would choose to stay where he was and dodge the attacks. This was because if the MT moved, the monsters would move as well. This would cause the ranged DPS to suffer a lot of damage. However, such a technique required plenty of combat experience and nimble reflexes. Ke Le still needed to practice more.
After a moment, the Elite Wild Rabbit fell to the ground, dropping a skill book for Berserkers, Whirlwind Slash. At the same time, it also dropped 3 Coppers.
Everyone could not help but marvel at the drop rate of Hell Mode. They had only killed one Elite monster, yet it had already dropped a skill book. If they killed more than ten Elite monsters, wouldn't they be able to obtain more than ten skill books? One should know that skill books were extremely rare outside of Hell Mode. Even a normal skill would cost 1 Silver Coin.
Shifeng naturally understood everyone's thoughts. However, the drop rate of Hell Mode was not that high. It was only three to four times that of Hard Mode. Following which, Shifeng passed the Whirlwind Slash skill book to Lonely Snow, who was still in a daze. He also passed the Level 1 Bronze Defensive Plate Armor that the Night Ranger had dropped to Ke Le. Instantly, the party's strength increased slightly.
When Ke Le received the Defensive Plate Armor, he could not even close his mouth. He hurriedly thanked Shifeng. With this Bronze Plate Armor, not only did his Defense increase by 14 points, his HP had also increased to 350 points.
Aside from Shifeng and Hei Zi, everyone else was endlessly envious. Bronze Equipment was the proof of an expert. Outside of Hell Mode, even if one begged for it, they could not obtain it. Meanwhile, this piece of equipment was obtained by Shifeng alone. Yet, he actually gave it to Ke Le without hesitation. Everyone's opinion of Shifeng had also changed by quite a bit. They all felt that this party leader was not bad. Unlike other party leaders, when equipment dropped, they would definitely prioritize themselves first.
Following which, everyone followed Shifeng as they advanced.
Although the dark forest was frightening, everyone was no longer as nervous as before after going through an intense battle.
From time to time, one or two patrolling Elite Night Rabbits would appear. They were also able to deal with them quickly. Ke Le tanked one of the Night Rabbits, while Shifeng and Lonely Snow rushed over to kill the other one. The ranged players prioritized killing the Night Rabbits in front of Shifeng.
The Night Rabbit's 700 HP disappeared under the barrage of attacks.
Soon after, they helped Ke Le deal with the other Night Rabbit. In a short moment, the two Night Rabbits were finished. The Night Rabbits even dropped a healing skill book, Recovery. The skill had a channeling time of 2 seconds, and after learning it, an Oracle could instantly recover 37 HP. It was much better than Life Prayer. Moreover, Life Prayer and Life Prayer did not share the same Cooldown.
Drowsy Sloth continuously thanked Shifeng and his party members for allowing him to learn this skill book. This skill book was extremely important for raiding a Dungeon. If he sold it, it would sell for at least 2 or 3 Silver Coins.
"Don't mind it. Skill books are meant to be used. Let's just accept it," Shifeng replied with a smile.
Aside from AOE Attack Skill Books, Healing Skill Books were the rarest and most valuable items. However, the Deathly Forest was a Dungeon designed for players to lay down their foundations in God's Domain. In Hell Mode, the drop-rate of Basic Healing Skill Books was very high. In Shi Feng's previous life, the Deathly Forest had dropped four Healing Skill Books during the next Hell Mode.
After more than an hour, the party of Shifeng finally encountered their first Boss on a flat grassland.
[Willie] (Chieftain Rank) Level 3 HP 6,000/6,000
Willie was a ferocious Night Rabbit. Its body was as tall as two people, and its two claws had some sharp steel claws. It loved to give people a feast of blood the most. If one were caught, they would have their hearts ripped out and their lungs dug out. Blood would flow like a river. Countless players had died tragically under its sharp claws.
Meanwhile, not far from Willie, there were seven Elite Wild Rabbits guarding it. The seven Wild Rabbits were very close to each other. As long as one of the Wild Rabbits were attacked, the other Wild Rabbits would swarm towards it. There was even a high possibility of luring the Boss.
Even Shifeng would not be able to tank against seven Night Rabbits, not to mention the addition of a Boss.
However, if they did not deal with the seven Elite Night Rabbits, they would not be able to fight the Boss.
"Brother Feng, what should we do now? There are too many Night Rabbits here. They are not giving us a way out at all, "Hei Zi said anxiously. The Boss was right in front of them, yet the system made such a move. The difficulty of this Dungeon was too high. As expected of a Hell Mode Dungeon. Without absolute strength, it was impossible to clear it.
Everyone was also very angry at the system's settings. Who could tank against seven Elite Night Rabbits? Even a Level 5 Guardian Knight might not be able to do so.
"You guys go behind that rock and wait for me. Ke Le, prepare to receive the monsters. The others are not allowed to attack without my command." Shifeng naturally knew that there were seven Elite Night Rabbits here. He pointed towards a large rock not far away, commanding.
Everyone obeyed Shifeng's commands. Throughout their journey, they had relied on Shifeng's commands to kill monsters. They had killed quite a few Night Rabbits, and everyone had obtained one or two pieces of Bronze Equipment. Hei Zi had even obtained five pieces of Bronze Equipment. The current strength of the party definitely surpassed that of the other Elite parties. Moreover, such a contribution definitely belonged to Shifeng's commands.
Meanwhile, Shifeng ran to a distance of 40 yards from the seven Night Rabbits. He quietly hid in the bushes, paying attention to the Night Rabbits' every movement.
Everyone understood that Shifeng wanted to lure the monsters. However, the seven Night Rabbits were too close. Moreover, Shifeng was a Swordsman. He did not have the ability to attack from a distance. How could he lure the monsters?
Time passed bit by bit. Everyone was very anxious. If Shifeng accidentally messed up, the party would be wiped out. However, Shifeng remained calm. He did not move an inch as he stared at the Night Rabbits in the distance.
At this moment, a gentle breeze blew past. The fallen leaves on the treetops were blown over.
Just as the fallen leaves were slowly falling towards the Night Rabbits, Shifeng picked up a small stone beside him and lightly tossed it over.
The stone flew towards the Night Rabbits that were closest to the Boss.
"It's over this time."
Everyone understood what kind of result this would lead to. The Boss and seven Night Rabbits would definitely rush over and kill them.
Just as the stone was about to hit the Night Rabbit, a fallen leaf happened to stand between the stone and the Night Rabbit.
The stone struck the fallen leaf and smashed into the Night Rabbit's body.
The Night Rabbit suddenly turned around and looked at its surroundings. It discovered that it was a leaf. However, why was it so painful when hit by this leaf? Soon after, it left the group of Night Rabbits and started observing its surroundings. It looked left and right, searching for something unknown. Unknowingly, it had already traveled over 20 yards away.
"Too godly!" Lonely Snow's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. He could not help but exclaim in admiration.
The others also silently nodded their heads.
Just how accurate must one's judgement and aim be to be able to hit the fallen leaf when hitting the Night Rabbits? This caused the Night Rabbits' aggro to become chaotic, causing them to blindly search for their target.
It would not be an exaggeration to call it a consummate skill.
Were Shifeng really noobs? Could it be that some gaming god was toying with them?
