Shifeng had no intention of telling Bloodfang about the Monster Repellent Scroll's flaws. [ [
They were only collaborators, each taking what they needed. They were not friends, nor did they have any relationship with each other.
Whether or not Raven could defend against the accumulated number of monsters was not his concern. After all, he had only charged a small price to help Raven survive the most difficult period of the game's early stages. Moreover, it would be a waste not to take advantage of a Magic Crystal magnate like Raven.
White River City's teleportation house was in urgent need of Magic Crystals. As long as he had enough Magic Crystals, he could turn them into Coins. At that time, the Ling YI Society's first city would be secure.
After signing the contract, both sides felt reassured with the Main God System's protection.
Originally, Shifeng had intended to use a Return Scroll to leave. However, Bloodfang stopped him.
"Wait!" Bloodfang suddenly said. "I have a piece of information here. I believe it should be of some use to the Ling YI Society."
Saying so, Bloodfang took out a black envelope and handed it to Shifeng.
Shifeng raised his brows when he saw the black envelope.
Although the black envelope looked ordinary, it was a specially encrypted message. Aside from a specific player, no other player could see the message. Moreover, after reading the message, it would automatically destroy itself. Players could not record the message even if they wanted to.
"A video message?" After Shifeng opened the envelope, the message displayed was a video file. Following which, Shifeng clicked to open the file.
However, the moment he saw the video, he was shocked.
In the video, many players were encircling a three-meter-tall, one-horned humanoid creature in black robes. Many crimson runes covered this humanoid creature's body, and they looked like flames. Moreover, the humanoid creature's entire body radiated a black fog, and its crimson eyes sent chills down the players' spines.
Aside from the monster's level and HP, everything else about the monster in the video was unknown. It was very strange.
Although the monster was only Level 40 and had a little over 1,000,000 HP, it was still a Chieftain rank monster. Despite this, several hundred elite players had died at the hands of this one-horned humanoid monster.
Although the monster's death was not a big deal, the method used to kill these Level 35-plus elite players was extraordinary.
The humanoid monster's fighting style was similar to that of a real player.
Moreover, every time this monster killed a player, not only would its HP recover, but its Attributes would also slowly increase. Most inconceivably, Shifeng noticed something familiar.
Magic patterns that could absorb Immortal Souls!
Previously, in order to complete a mission for the Shifeng, Xia Lian had left a magic pattern on the back of his hand to absorb Immortal Souls. This magic pattern would only emit a faint silver-grey glow when absorbing Immortal Souls.
Meanwhile, the rune that absorbed Immortal Souls was currently imprinted on the one-horned humanoid monster's chest. Every time a player was killed, the rune would release a faint, silver-gray glow. At first glance, the rune looked just like the monster's heart, beating with every beat.
The player who had recorded this video was an expert Assassin who was passing by. As he had been staying at a distance and was in Stealth, it was very difficult to spot him. Hence, this video was recorded until the end of the battle.
After the one-horned humanoid monster killed all the players, something unbelievable happened.
To monsters, the weapons and equipment players dropped were useless unless they were quest items. However, the one-horned humanoid monster had actually collected all of the players' loot.
After the monster left, several figures appeared in the video. Some of these figures were similar to the monster. Not only were they tall, but they also had horns. However, among these monsters, there was actually a player. Only, this player wore a Black Cloak and a mask. As the video was too far away, it was impossible to tell whether this player was male or female.
The reason why Shifeng was certain that this player was a player was due to the green, diamond-shaped symbol that only players possessed.
Originally, the expert Assassin who had recorded the video had intended to give chase. However, halfway through, he had been discovered. Even though this Level 38 Assassin had focused on running for his life, in the end, he had failed to escape the one-horned humanoid monster.
"How can such a monster exist?" Shifeng shuddered as he watched the one-horned humanoid monster kill the expert Assassin.
In terms of combat techniques, this expert Assassin had already reached the Trial Tower's sixth-floor standard. Even in a first-rate Guild, he would be considered a powerful expert. After all, players who had reached the Trial Tower's fourth floor were already considered experts, not to mention sixth-floor players.
However, the one-horned monster that had killed this expert Assassin had even higher combat standards. Based on the battle video Shifeng had seen, the one-horned monster had reached the Trial Tower's seventh-floor standard at the very least.
As there were too few battle scenes, and the video was a flat screen, not a holographic simulation, Shifeng could not accurately determine the one-horned monster's true combat standards. However, according to Shifeng's estimates, these monsters were at the Half-step Refinement Realm standard at the very least …
Shifeng was not surprised that NPCs in God's Domain could reach such a standard. After all, he had encountered NPCs whose combat techniques were dozens of times stronger. However, monsters in God's Domain had to possess extremely high intellect to reach such a standard. Not even Great Lord ranked monsters could reach such a standard.
"The Assassin who recorded the video was a Red Player. Moreover, he was somewhat famous. It has been two days since he was killed, but he still can't log into God's Domain," Bloodfang said. "Not many people know about this matter. According to the Assassin, these monsters are extremely powerful. Before these monsters attacked the elite team, they had been killing SS-level monsters in the fields. Unfortunately, the elite team encountered these monsters by chance. In the end, the elite team was slaughtered by these monsters. Through killing monsters and players, these monsters' Attributes increase accordingly. Moreover, their intelligence is very high."
"That Assassin said that when he faced the one-horned monster, he didn't feel like he was facing a monster. Instead, he felt like he was facing an expert player. The monster's intellect was so high that it could easily see through his every move and react accordingly."
"What does this have to do with our Ling Yi?" Shifeng asked curiously.
Although he, too, felt that these monsters were extraordinary, there were simply too many strange things happening in God's Domain. Who knew, this might be related to some incident in God's Domain? Right now, he was too busy earning money to bother with such matters.
"If you want to say that it's related, then it's a little. If you want to say that it's not related, then you can say that it's not related." "This video was recorded in Star-Moon Kingdom. Moreover, it's not far from Stone Forest Town. Although the levels of these monsters are nothing to the NPCs protecting Stone Forest Town, once the protection is gone, I believe that the town's safety will be a problem. After all, nobody can guarantee just how strong these monsters will become." "That's right.
