The battle at the bottom of the cliff grew increasingly intense. Aside from the violent Mana, deafening roars and the sound of metal clashing echoed throughout the canyon. ※ ※ ※
"What an intense battle." Shi Feng could not help but take a closer look at the shattered tree trunks that flew through the air.
Inside the overgrown canyon, he could faintly make out a gigantic shadow shuttling through the trees. Wherever the shadow passed, it left behind a pile of rubble.
"What a powerful monster. Just its unstoppable Strength is no weaker than a Chieftain." Shifeng's eyes narrowed. He then jumped off the cliff and prepared to run over to take a look.
He had come to the Dark Den to complete an Epic Quest.
Now that a battle had suddenly appeared, it might be related to the quest. Naturally, he had to take a look.
Ordinary players would fall to their deaths if they jumped off a cliff that was over a hundred meters tall.
However, Shifeng did not mind. When he was only over 20 meters above the ground, he immediately used Gravity Liberation, making his body as light as a feather. Due to the immense air resistance, Shifeng's falling speed plummeted, and he landed safely on the ground.
As soon as Shifeng's foot landed on the lush grass, he immediately activated Omniscient Eyes. With this skill, he could easily perceive any movement within a 100-yard radius. As long as there was even the slightest movement, he would be able to dodge it immediately.
This was a habit he had developed over many years.
When facing the unknown, one had to be careful. Moreover, this was the Dark Den, the nest of Demons. He needed to be even more careful.
Meanwhile, at the distant location of the battle, the commotion from the battle grew louder and louder. It even caused the ground to shake.
As soon as Shifeng arrived before the battle, he discovered a pitch-black serpent that was over 50 meters long. With a single swipe of its tail, the serpent easily sliced apart a one-meter-thick tree. The serpent's cut was as smooth as a mirror. Following which, the serpent swung its tail, creating a deep trench in the ground. Every move the serpent made caused massive changes to the terrain around it.
[Dark Magic Serpent] (Dark Magic Creature) [Chieftain] Level 42 HP 800,000/800,000
Meanwhile, this Dark Magic Serpent was fighting a group of players. Moreover, this party was a six-man party. Moreover, this entire party was extremely powerful. All of them were around Level 29. Even in the Ling YI Society, only Hei Zi had reached this level.
A Level 29 Shield Warrior stood at the forefront of the party. Two mages and a Ranger continuously attacked the serpent from a distance. The Cleric and Druid at the rear continuously healed the Shield Warrior.
For a time, the battle between the two parties.
"Ironwrist," the Ranger, when he saw the Dark Magic Serpent's abdomen..
"Don't worry." The Shield Warrior named Ironwrist smiled. Instead, he took the initiative to face the Dark Magic Serpent.
The Dark Magic Serpent opened its huge mouth and spat out billowing black smoke. The smoke spread out in all directions, and all the grass, flowers, and trees that came into contact with the smoke withered and turned into ashes.
In the next moment, the Shield Warrior charged forward and used Shield Bash to strike the Dark Magic Serpent's abdomen. Instantly, the poisonous mist within the Dark Magic Serpent's mouth stopped spreading. Instead, the density of the poisonous mist began thinning.
........... The skin all over the Shield Warrior's body turned pitch-black, as if he had turned black. Meanwhile, his HP rapidly decreased, losing 3,000 HP with every beat. Instantly, the Shield Warrior's HP fell to a critical level.
Seeing that the Shield Warrior was about to die, the Cleric standing at the rear had long since prepared a Detoxification Skill. When the Fierce Poison was about to hit for the third time, the Cleric dispelled the Skill. Meanwhile, the Druid at the side had also prepared a Life Recovery. Immediately, the Shield Warrior's HP recovered by over 2,000 points. Following which, he recovered over 300 HP every second. The Shield Warrior was pulled back to the brink of death.
The Dark Magic Serpent was enraged due to its skill being interrupted. It swung its tail at the Shield Warrior.
At this moment, a golden arrow struck the Serpent's tail.
The instant the arrow came into contact with the Serpent's tail, it transformed into golden chains that bound the Serpent's tail to the ground.
However, the Dark Magic Serpent's Strength was simply too great. The golden chains were instantly broken. The Serpent then flew towards the Shield Warrior. An Elementalist at the rear used Ice Wall. Immediately, an Ice Wall formed between the Serpent's tail and the Shield Warrior, once again slowing down the Serpent's tail. Due to the Serpent's tail's momentary pause, the Shield Warrior's Movement Speed was already greatly reduced. The Shield Warrior easily dodged the Serpent's tail attack.
The entire process was as smooth as flowing water. Their coordination was perfect.
Even if the Dark Magic Serpent had a level advantage, it could only be toyed around with by this party.
"What amazing coordination," Shifeng praised. "Just who are these people?"
Even a Guild's elite team would avoid a Level 42 Chieftain. Yet, an independent party without a Guild could easily defeat such a monster.
However, what surprised Shifeng the most was the fact that there were other players in the Dark Den.
The Dark Den was incomparably mysterious, and it was extremely well-hidden. He had only managed to reach this place by relying on a Tier 4 Magic Scroll. Yet, these people had actually managed to find this place. It was simply inconceivable.
At this moment, Shifeng wished he could immediately rush up to these people and ask. If there were truly other methods to reach this place, he could find some helpers to help him complete his quest. That way, his chances of completing his quest would be much higher.
Only, Shifeng suppressed this impulse. He only quietly observed the situation from within the dense forest.
In God's Domain, there were many cases of murder and robbery. At this moment, this party and the Dark Magic Serpent were engaged in a fierce battle. If he rashly rushed over, it was very likely that he would be misunderstood. At that time, how could he possibly reveal the secret of coming here?
Time passed little by little.
The Dark Magic Serpent's HP continuously decreased. Very quickly, its HP fell to 30%.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, the Dark Magic Serpent roared loudly. Its entire body then began to emit a black fog. This black fog circled around the Serpent, quickly forming pitch-black scales. Under the sunlight, these scales gave off a dazzling black glow.
Chieftain ranked monsters generally entered a Berserk state. Now that the Dark Magic Serpent's HP had fallen to 30%, it had reached the condition to trigger the Berserk state.
With its scales, the Dark Magic Serpent resembled a steel snake. Not only did its Defense and Magic Resistance increase significantly, even its Strength had increased by at least 30%. Every one of its attacks was earth-shattering.
Meanwhile, this party had long since prepared for this. In the next moment, the Cursemancer at the rear row took action, continuously drawing a large number of runes in the air. The Cursemancer also chanted line after line of incantations, causing the surrounding Mana to skyrocket.
"This Cursemancer is amazing. He actually learned the Tier 1 Curse, Dark Storm." Shifeng could not help but exclaim in surprise when he saw the Cursemancer's runes. "No wonder they dare to take on this Level 42 Chieftain."
In God's Domain, physical Taboo Skills and magical Taboo Skills were of the same rank. They could allow players to possess the power to fight opponents of a higher tier.
However, Taboo Skills were much more difficult to learn than Taboo Skills. However, they were much more powerful than Taboo Skills.
When the Cursemancer finished chanting the final line of the incantation, the space around the Dark Magic Serpent seemed to freeze for a moment. Countless black wind blades then appeared around the Dark Magic Serpent. As if these wind blades had a mind of their own, they could pierce through anything. Even the Dark Magic Serpent's tough scales were no exception.
The black wind blades lasted for three seconds.
Every second, the wind blades dealt over -8,000 damage to the Dark Magic Serpent. In three seconds, the Dark Magic Serpent received over -20,000 damage. Moreover, aside from these damages, the scales on the Dark Magic Serpent's body had all disappeared.
"Good! Let's go!" The Shield Warrior named Ironwrist immediately slashed at the Serpent.
However, before this party could celebrate, a roar suddenly came from the forest.
"Roar!"
