Red Leaf Forest was made up of beautiful maple trees. Level 5 monsters roamed inside. For players below Level 3, it was an absolute forbidden zone. Even if Shifeng had reached Level 1, they were still no match for Level 5 monsters.
Shifeng did not hesitate to run into Red Leaf Forest, carefully advancing into the depths of the forest.
From time to time, they could see Level 5 Forest Wolves patrolling the forest. Shifeng was only Level 1. If they did not maintain a sufficient distance, the Forest Wolves' sensitive sense of smell would discover them.
Forest Wolves were Level 5 and had 400 HP. Their attack power was very high. For Shifeng who only had 120 HP, they could kill him in two bites.
Shifeng could only choose to stealthily avoid the Forest Wolves and take a detour.
Along the way, other than the Forest Wolves, there was also a cute bear cub. It rolled around on the grass, looking cute but actually fierce. Although it was also a Level 5 monster, melee players hated bear type monsters more. Because of their high HP and high defense, fighting them was more tiring.
Shifeng had just circled around the cubs when they heard the howls of wolves behind them.
"Crap, a wolf den!" Even the calm Shifeng could not help but shout.
In his previous life, many Level 4 to 5 players formed parties to grind in Red Leaf Forest. Not only were there many monsters, but there were also many good items such as skill books, leather-making materials, equipment, and large amounts of herbs and ores that could be harvested. However, if one was not careful, they would still be wiped out in Red Leaf Forest. One of the dangers was the wolf den.
The wolf den was very hidden and difficult to discover. If one was not careful and approached the wolf den's alert range, a pack of Forest Wolves would pounce on them. At least three to five, and at most six to eight. It could be said that it was a team-wipe trap.
Shifeng, as a reincarnator, had bad luck. Seven Forest Wolves rushed out at once. Shifeng, this kind of fresh meat, was not enough to share.
Forest Wolves were very fast, but Shifeng's speed was not slow either. He added all his Attributes to Agility, and his Movement Speed was 6. After all, he was a Level 1 Swordsman. Even if he added all his Attributes to Agility, his speed was still slower than the Forest Wolves.
Seeing that they were about to be caught, Shifeng couldn't care less and immediately activated his life-saving skill, Gravity Liberation.
He immediately felt his body become as light as a feather, and his speed immediately increased by a large margin. He quickly shook off the Forest Wolves behind him and left them in the dust.
Mobs were, after all, mobs. They gave up after reaching a certain range, and Shifeng managed to save their lives.
Ten minutes later, the Shifeng arrived in front of a towering mountain range. A few hundred meters tall mountains stood in the middle of the Red Leaves Forest. The top of the mountain was shrouded in clouds and mist, making it look like a paradise on earth.
"We're finally here."
The Shifeng looked at the majestic mountain and looked around. He found a small waterfall and walked over.
In Shi Feng's previous life, players were already over Level 20. Naturally, their Attributes were very high, and they could do many things that were impossible for low-leveled players. Hence, they loved to explore the various places of God's Domain. Among them, the central mountain range of the Red Leaf Forest was very famous. Hence, Shadow Workshop had sent a party of Assassins to investigate the mountain range.
If they hadn't investigated, they wouldn't have known that the central mountain range was a treasure mountain. They discovered many things on the mountain, such as rare ores, rare herbs, and even Treasure Chests. Meanwhile, there was a Secret-Silver Treasure Chest placed at the top of the mountain.
In the wilderness of God's Domain, there were many hidden places where Treasure Chests were placed, waiting for players to take the risk and discover them. The items inside Treasure Chests were very complicated, ranging from Copper Coins to Dark-Gold Equipment.
The quality of Treasure Chests was divided into Common, Bronze, Mysterious-Iron, Secret-Silver, Fine-Gold, and Dark-Gold. Even a Common Treasure Chest could rival the loot of an Elite monster, not to mention a Secret-Silver Treasure Chest.
Because of this Secret-Silver Treasure Chest, Shadow had become a famous Workshop in White River City, accumulating a lot of wealth during the early stages of the game.
Not only did the Secret-Silver Treasure Chest give equipment, but it also contained a Secret Alchemy Recipe and a Forging Design.
During the early stages of God's Domain, the drop rate of a Secret Alchemy Recipe was less than one in ten thousand, not to mention a Forging Design. A Forging Design could produce Bronze Equipment, and Bronze Equipment was what players lacked the most. Hence, the drop rate of a Forging Design was even lower. With these Forging Designs, it would be easy to earn money.
If Shifeng wanted to earn 16,000 Credits within ten days, he would have to rely on the Secret-Silver Treasure Chest. Naturally, he would not leave it for Shadow Workshop. As low-level players did not have 40 points in Agility, they had not activated the Hidden Basic Skill, Leap Over Walls, so they could not climb mountains. Meanwhile, there was no path up the mountain in the central mountain range, so they could only climb it.
Although Shifeng did not have 40 points in Agility, he had the Ring of Gravity. After activating it, he could still climb the mountain.
After activating Gravity Liberation, Shifeng climbed the mountain with ease. With just two or three steps, he had climbed up a 5-meter tall mountain.
Seeing that there were still 5 seconds before Gravity Liberation ended, Shifeng found an empty spot to rest while waiting for the Ring of Gravity's Cooldown to end.
Just as Shifeng was about to sit down, the mountain wall suddenly trembled. A Rock Giant emerged, letting out waves of roars.
[Rock Giant, Common Monster] (Level 5) HP 550/550
"That was fast."
When Shifeng saw the Rock Giant walking towards him, he had long since made preparations. He took out an Exploding Berry from his bag and threw it at the Rock Giant's feet, causing a sticky orange juice to splatter all over the ground.
Although the Rock Giant was a Level 5 monster with extremely high Attack Power, HP, and Defense, its reactions were very slow. Its Attack Speed was also very slow, and its turning speed was even slower. As long as one had 20 points in Agility, they could easily toy with the Rock Giant. Many Assassins liked these kinds of stupid monsters. They could easily kill them without wasting a single drop of HP.
Shifeng did not have 20 points in Agility. However, he had the Exploding Berry. It was effective in a 3-yard radius, reducing the Movement Speed by 30% and turning speed by 70% for 1 minute. It was a godly weapon against stupid monsters. Two months after the launch of God's Domain, many players would use this method to kill slow-moving high-level monsters. However, slow-moving monsters were extremely rare in God's Domain. It was impossible for them to continuously level up.
With the Exploding Berry, the Rock Giant's Movement Speed was greatly reduced.
Shifeng pulled out his Novice Sword and rushed to the Rock Giant's back, slashing down.
A damage of 3 points appeared above the Rock Giant's head. Compared to its 550 HP, the damage was insignificant. In addition, the Rock Giant recovered 1% of its HP every 5 seconds, which meant that it would recover 5.5 HP every 5 seconds. It would be very difficult to kill the Rock Giant within a minute.
After being attacked by Shifeng once, the Rock Giant wanted to turn around and attack. However, its turning speed was already extremely slow. Now that its Movement Speed was reduced by 70%, it became extremely slow. After receiving two normal attacks from Shifeng, the Rock Giant received another Chop. A series of damage values appeared. -3, -3, -6.
Due to the level suppression, the effects of Chop were not very effective. However, as the Rock Giant was 4 Levels higher, the Skill Proficiency increased. In addition to the Swordsman's talent, the Skill Proficiency of Chop increased by 3 points.
It was definitely a good place to increase the Skill Proficiency.
After much difficulty, the Rock Giant finally turned around to face Shifeng. However, Shifeng did not give the Rock Giant a chance. He circled to the Rock Giant's back and continued attacking.
Thundering Flash!
Suddenly, a streak of lightning flashed, causing 4 damage. Following that, another streak of lightning appeared, causing 5 damage. The last streak of lightning caused 7 damage.
All three streaks of lightning struck their target. Thundering Flash's Proficiency increased by 3 points.
Following that, several more slashes followed.
A series of -4, -4, -4 damages appeared. Compared to before, although each slash dealt 1 more damage, the total amount of damage added up was much higher. The follow-up effect of Thundering Flash was extremely powerful. Although the Damage Amplification effect only lasted for 15 seconds, it greatly increased the speed of killing the Rock Giant. It could end the battle within a minute, saving the expensive Exploding Berries.
Even if the Rock Giant had high HP and high Attack, if it could not land a hit on Shifeng, it would become a training dummy, giving Shifeng EXP and Skill Proficiency.
Skill Proficiency was not something that would increase just by using the skill. Monsters of the same Level had a 20% chance to increase their Skill Proficiency by 1 point. A difference of 1 Level was 40%; a difference of 2 Levels was 70%; a difference of 3 Levels was 100%; a difference of 4 Levels was 150%; a difference of 5 Levels was 200%.
Currently, when Shifeng killed a Level 5 Rock Giant, their Skill Proficiency increased by several times compared to others.
In less than a minute, the Rock Giant finally fell.
System: Level 5 Rock Giant killed 4 Levels higher. EXP obtained increased by 400%. Obtained 120 points.
Shifeng's EXP bar increased by a large chunk. He was now 880 EXP away from reaching Level 2. In other words, he only needed to kill 8 more Rock Giants to reach Level 2.
The Central Mountain Range was definitely a good place to level up and pick up treasures. Unfortunately, by the time people discovered it, it was already two months later.
After killing the Rock Giant, Shifeng searched around and obtained a piece of Bronze Ore. It was a material for crafting Bronze Equipment. At the same time, he also obtained a piece of Hard Stone. Following which, Shifeng searched around the empty space. Not long after, he found a rare herb, Hundred Spirits Flower. It was the main ingredient for crafting Basic Recovery Potions.
Just as he approached, another Rock Giant appeared and threw another Exploding Berry.
Thundering Flash!
Chop!
Not long after, he obtained another piece of Hard Stone and 120 EXP, as well as a large amount of Skill Proficiency.
Shifeng continued climbing up the mountain after the Cooldown of the Ring of Gravity ended.
Along the way, he searched for rare herbs and killed Rock Giants.
Following the fall of the eighth Rock Giant, Shifeng rose to Level 2. After adding all his points to Agility, his Agility reached 16 points. He was only 4 points away from activating Nimble and Swift. Chop's Proficiency reached 300 points, leveling up to Level 2. The next level required 600 Proficiency Points. The additional damage increased to 12 points, and the Cooldown decreased by one second.
If other players were to find out about this leveling speed, they would probably go crazy. Leveling from Level 0 to Level 1 required five to six hours, not to mention leveling from Level 1 to Level 2. It would take at least seven to eight hours. Yet, Shifeng had leveled up to Level 2 in less than twenty minutes. His leveling speed was like a rocket.
Shifeng walked up to the Rock Giant, searching it again.
"My luck is not bad. It actually dropped a piece of equipment." Shifeng was slightly disappointed when he discovered that it was a piece of cloth armor.
[Gorgeous Cloth Armor] (Common Equipment) Level 4 Defense + 3 MP + 10 Durability. However, God's Domain had just started, so the drop rate of equipment was extremely low. Even Common Equipment was extremely rare, not to mention Level 4 Common Equipment. Someone would definitely purchase it at a high price.
Shifeng stored the equipment. Just as he was about to continue climbing, he suddenly discovered a cave not far ahead.
Walking over to take a look, Shifeng's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
A gigantic Rock Giant was currently sleeping inside the cave. The rocks covering its body were not the ordinary dark gray, but silver-white.
[Shrews] (Special Elite) Level 6 HP 900/900
A Special Elite was much more powerful than an Elite. A party of six could kill an Elite of the same level. However, a Special Elite of the same level needed at least 12 or even 15 players to kill it. In other words, the Shrews before him needed 15 Level 6 players working together to kill.
Shifeng did not hesitate as he charged forward, immediately using Thundering Flash. Streak after streak of lightning streaked across Shrews' gigantic body.
