Under the gloomy sky, a round moon hung high in the sky, scattering a faint silver glow that enveloped the entire quiet forest. Frogs croaking could be heard from the sparkling lake, and fireflies could be seen fluttering about the forest. It was like a dreamy fairytale world.
This place was the Moonlight Woodland, and it was also the "Land of Eternal Rest" for players.
The moment the Shifeng arrived, the first thing they did was take out an Isolation Scroll, releasing the magic within the scroll.
Beautiful magic runes flew out from the scroll, and the Shifeng's body suddenly became somewhat blurry. If one were to look at the Shifeng from a distance, it would be very difficult to discover the Shifeng's existence.
The Isolation Scroll cost 40 Copper Coins per scroll. It was practically all of an ordinary player's assets.
Although it was expensive, its effects were remarkable. The Isolation Scroll could greatly reduce a player's presence, making it difficult for surrounding enemies to detect them. The Isolation Scroll had a duration of half an hour, and it was a must-have tool in dangerous areas.
Although its effects might not be as good as the Assassin's Stealth, it was already very good for classes that did not have Stealth.
After using the Isolation Scroll, as long as the enemy was a Common monster below Level 15, it would be extremely difficult to discover them within a 30-yard radius.
Following which, the Shifeng snuck into the forest, heading towards the central area of the Moonlight Woodland to search for Moonstones. He wanted to remove this annoying curse as soon as possible.
The Moonlight Woodland was a Level 9 monster area. It was not located in the Starmoon Kingdom, but in an independent space. Every major city had a teleportation gate that led to the Moonlight Woodland. In Shi Feng's previous life, more than 90% of the players would come here to hunt for treasures. Even if they were already Level 10, they would still be slaughtered until they hovered between life and death. This was because the majority of the monsters here were in groups of three to five, and their skills were powerful. A single mistake could lead to a team-wipe. Even so, many players still persisted in charging into the Moonlight Woodland, dying over and over again.
Meanwhile, the main reason why these players persisted was because the monsters here dropped Gemstones. Moreover, the chances were quite high. There were also plenty of Treasure Chests here. As long as a Treasure Chest was found, there was an 80% chance of dropping a Gemstone.
Gemstones were very valuable in God's Domain because Gemstones could increase Attributes. Depending on the color, the Attribute increase would be different. For example, red would increase Strength, yellow would increase Agility, blue would increase Endurance, purple would increase Intelligence, and green would increase Spirit. A Tier 1 Gemstone could increase one Attribute. A Bronze Equipment could embed one Gemstone, while Mysterious-Iron Equipment could embed two Gemstones. If a player had so many pieces, the accumulated Attributes would be very frightening.
Hence, the demand for Gemstones was extremely high, causing their prices to remain high. This caused many players to risk their lives to come here to grind for Gemstones.
Moreover, there were also various resources in the Moonlight Forest, such as ores, herbs, rare ingredients, and so on. The most famous one was the 50-man Team Dungeon, Sleeping Castle. It was also a good place to exchange for Card Sets. However, in order to exchange for Card Sets, a team needed to clear this Dungeon. Only then would the players in this area be able to enter Sleeping Castle to exchange for Card Sets.
However, Shifeng's current goal was not Card Sets, but Moonstones. Moonstones could only be found in the core area of the Moonlight Forest. However, Shi Feng was only Level 3, yet he was deep in a Level 9 monster area. Not to mention, the Moonlight Forest was extremely dangerous, so he had no choice but to be careful when he moved.
If he were to accidentally die, then the 200,000 EXP he had earned would be wasted. He would have to start all over again. After all, he had yet to reach Level 10 and open a City Teleportation Gate. If he were to die, he could only return to Red Leaf Town. If he wanted to come back again, he could only accumulate EXP. There was no other way.
Currently, there was already a large level gap between him and the experts in the first echelon. If he were to die again and accumulate another 200,000 EXP, it would be an unimaginable nightmare.
Within the forest, after taking a few steps, Shi Feng could see Level 9 Shadow Cheetahs hiding in the trees or bushes. They were about to ambush their enemies. If not for the Isolation Scroll, Shi Feng would have long since been discovered by the Shadow Cheetahs.
Facing a Level 9 monster, Shifeng was naturally not a match for the Shadow Cheetahs in a head-on confrontation. Shi Feng could only dodge. Moreover, his goal was not to kill monsters, so there was no need for him to fight with the Shadow Cheetahs.
Shifeng carefully circled around the Shadow Cheetahs one after another. After spending over an hour, he finally arrived at a towering and spacious stone forest.
A group of warmongers lived within this stone forest, and they were called Mountain Beast Warriors. They were tenacious warriors who did not fear hardships and faced difficulties head-on. They loved to battle the most, and the longer they grew, the fiercer they became. At the same time, they also guarded a large pile of treasures, and among them, there was the rare Moonstone.
However, the stone forest was filled with armored beasts holding spiked clubs that were as tall as two people, patrolling back and forth. Shi Feng was unable to advance at all. If he were to step into the stone forest, he would definitely be discovered. At that time, a group of Mountain Beast Warriors would rush over, and each beast would smash Shi Feng into meat paste.
[Mountain Beast Warrior] (Common Rank, Level 9) It seems that I can only slowly clear out its HP. After searching for a long time, Shifeng still could not find any way to safely pass through the stone forest. The only way was to kill his way through.
Shi Feng could not help but admit that the Epic Quest was very difficult. This was only the beginning, yet he already had to face a Level 9 Mountain Beast Warrior as a Level 3. He did not know what kind of difficulties he would face in the future.
Fortunately, he was very familiar with the Moonlight Forest, and he knew many methods to deal with the Mountain Beast Warriors before him.
Although the Mountain Beast Warriors were abnormally powerful, and their attacks were extraordinary, to the point where even Shield Warriors and Guardian Knights of the same level could not withstand a few hits from them, their bodies were huge, and their Movement Speed was not fast. In Shi Feng's previous life, there were many Elementalists who used Frost Arrows to reduce the Mountain Beast Warriors' speed. They then used the special terrain here to dodge the attacks of the spiked clubs and kited the Mountain Beast Warriors to death.
Subsequently, this stone forest became a holy land for ranged classes to grind. Mountain Beast Warriors could be seen kited everywhere.
Although Shifeng did not have any Speed Reduction skills, he could use other things to make up for it. As for kiting the Mountain Beast Warriors, Shi Feng had a super-rare skill like Defensive Blade, which increased his attack range by a lot. He did not believe that he, a Sword King expert, would be inferior to a Level 10 Elementalist in using the terrain to dodge attacks.
After observing the terrain, Shifeng had already simulated his actions five times in his mind.
When taking action, there would be a huge difference between not simulating it in one's mind and simulating it. Practically every expert knew how to simulate actions. Moreover, they frequently did so.
The reason why experts were experts was because they were more prepared than others.
There were often many ordinary players who envied the experts of God's Domain, secretly lamenting that their techniques were not up to par. In reality, they did not know how much effort these experts usually put in. The amount of effort they put in far surpassed that of ordinary people, allowing them to shine brightly.
After completing his simulation, Shifeng took out the Black Steel Beer and a Speed Scroll.
The Black Steel Beer could reduce a monster's level by 2 Levels. In addition to the Abyssal Blade's Attributes, there was no level suppression when facing Level 9 monsters, and he could deal damage normally. As for the Speed Scroll, one cost 25 Copper Coins. It increased Movement Speed by 25%, and had a duration of 10 minutes. This scroll was a good item for survival in the wild. Hence, Shi Feng had bought a total of 20 scrolls, just to deal with situations like this.
If ordinary players were to hear this, they would definitely curse Shifeng for being a wastrel. How could one use such an item unless it was a matter of life and death? Yet, Shifeng actually used it to kill ordinary monsters. It was simply too extravagant.
If there were no curses, with his Attributes, he could definitely kite the Mountain Beast Warriors. However, the suppression of a 50% reduction in Attributes was too great. Only by using a Speed Scroll would he be able to ensure his safety.
If he messed up, then it would not just be a matter of losing a level. Instead, he would have wasted 200,000 EXP.
