The Return of the Sword God

A Parry Timeful

System: Player Quiet Wolf has attacked you and entered the status of Yellow Name. Duration of one hour. Any player who attacks a Yellow Name player will not receive any penalty.

Shi Feng only had 31 HP left. Being attacked from both sides by the Snow Fox and the Silent Wolf, putting Shi Feng in an extremely dangerous position.

“Tercela!” Standing in the distance, Blackie scolded Quiet Wolf for sneaking an attack at such a time. However, he could not change anything. Both are too far away. It was too difficult for him to attack Quiet Wolf. He could only direct his attack at the Snow Fox, hoping to kill him a second earlier and not let Quiet Wolf take advantage of them.

Although magicians had a high output, compared to hitting monsters, it was much harder to land an attack on players unless they stood still without moving. This was because the moment the Black Arrow shot out, there would be a prediction line appearing. In situations where the distance is far, players with good standards can usually avoid it. If it was an expert, then avoiding it would be an easy matter.

The moment the Snow Fox and the Quiet Wolf were about to rush over...The corner of Shi Fengs mouth showed a cold smile. He had interacted with Quiet Wolf in Shadow for many years, so he was very familiar with the strength and habits of Quiet Wolf. Shi Feng retreated two steps, forming a perfect triangle between the Snow Fox and the Quiet Wolf. Shi Feng gripped the Beginner Sword tightly in front of his chest. He stood there motionless while waiting for their attack to come.

“Did he give up?” Quiet Wolf began to look down on Shi Feng as he saw Shi Feng preparing to block with his sword. Although players could reduce the damage received by defending attacks, Snow Fox was an Elite. Even if Shi Feng could defend against it, the attack would still cause around 50 damage. With only 31 HP remaining, Shi Feng could not even receive an attack.

The Snow Fox was one step ahead, biting Shi Feng.

Tear Bite! “Just in time.” Instead of retreating, Shi Feng instead advanced. He rushed towards the Snow Fox.

The Beginner Sword blocked the Snow Fox in its mouth. Using Parry's lifesaving skill, Shi Feng could block a frontal attack once. Shi Feng then continued by raising the Snow Fox. The Snow Fox had low strength, so Shi Feng easily threw it towards the Quiet Wolf. Everything happened too fast. The Calm Wolf that rushed towards Shi Feng was unable to react in time. In an instant, his shoulder was bitten by the Snow Fox.

Damage - 164 appeared on Quiet Wolf's head. His HP instantly reduced to zero.

"How's it?" Quiet Wolf was shocked. His heart was filled with unwillingness as he stared at Shi Fengs mocking smile. He never imagined a player could do such a thing. If he found out, he would definitely not rush forward, just to get himself killed.

At this point, regardless of how reluctant Quiet Wolf was, his HP had turned to 0. His body could only fall and turn into starlight. He even dropped a piece of equipment. In the distance, Blackie became dumbfounded. He had even forgotten to attack the Snow Fox. “Blackie, stop daydreaming! Quickly attack the Snow Fox!” Shi Feng shouted and charged towards the Snow Fox again.

After Blackie started to react again, he chanted a curse, attacking the Snow Fox wildly.

Without the interference of Quiet Wolf, the near-death Snow Fox was just a decoration. In 10 seconds, the Snow Fox let out a wail before it fell.

System: [Rare Elite] The Cunning Snow Fox was killed. Obtained 130 EXP. Shi Feng was now Level 2, so this amount of EXP meant nothing to him. What Shi Feng cared about was his loot. Rare Elites were a favorite of all Gods Domain players due to their shocking rate of decline. Moreover, this was the Snow Fox's First Kill, so the loot would have been even better.

“Cannot be. He completely dropped his weapon.” Shi Feng obtained the Staff and Armor Guards.

[Blackwood Staff] (Bronze Ranking)

Level 1

Equipment Requirements: Strength 5

Attack Power +8

Intelligence +3, Vitality +1, Where +30

The Durability of this 20/20 Equipment would greatly strengthen a mage. Not only was his Attack Power high, it even provided an additional 3 Intelligence. If a mage wore them, then their damage might increase to two levels.

[Dome Skin Gloves] (General Rank, Skin Protective)

Level 1

Equipment Requirements: Strength 3

Defense +4

Durability 20/20

On the other hand, Quiet Wolf had donated a pair of Level 0 Ordinary Leather Shoes with a Defense of +3.

“And here I thought it was Grey Garbage Equipment. It seemed that Quiet Wolf's luck was not that bad, as it could obtain a Common Equipment.” Shi Feng had a different view of Quiet Wolf now. Obtaining a Common Equipment at the beginning of the game definitely depended on luck. However, Quiet Wolf's luck had now instead benefited Shi Feng. Swordsman can wear Plate Armor and Cloth Armor. Now that Shi Feng had these two new items, his Defense was increasing by leaps and bounds.

“Blackie, your gear.” Shi Feng handed the Blackwood Staff to Blackie.

However, Blackie did not accept the equipment. He had a doubtful expression on his face. Killing the Snow Fox depended entirely on Shi Feng. Blackie was of little help, yet he had received the best equipment; no less than a Bronze Equipment. At this stage of the game, not many players were capable of possessing such an item. It's very valuable.

After some thought, Blackie was able to understand it. He no longer refused it, saying, “Thank you. I will definitely use it correctly.”

"Now it's better." Shi Feng laughed, “Let's go. We're going to the Valley of the Dark Moon.”

Red Leaf Town. “The Silent Wolf, what are you really doing? Not only did you die, you even dropped the expensive Equipment. Do you know how valuable the Equipment is?” Flaming Tiger snapped while cursing.

Quiet Wolf's expression was gloomy like dark water. That pair of shoes was something he had obtained after grinding for 7 hours, and now he had completely lost it. Even his heart was bleeding at this moment. Even though he wanted to explain it, he did not know how. Should he say how he was being played by Shi Feng? It was not something he wanted to admit. However, even if he wanted to reclaim the equipment, he was not Shi Fengs opponent. “Tiger Brother, I found Rare Elite in the wild. I didn't think I would be found by that kid when I was about to kill the Elite. The boy even brought along someone else. In a one-on-three situation, I am not their opponent at all.” Quiet Wolf pretended to be angry as he turned black to white. He was constantly teasing Flaming Tiger. “That boy should have killed Rare Elite by now. He must have gotten some good equipment. They were on the path to the Dark Moon Valley. We can still catch up to them if we go after them. We might even be able to get back his equipment.”

“Elit Rare!?” Flaming Tiger's eyes began to glow. He no longer questioned Quiet Wolf. Instead, he was very interested in the spoils from the Rare Elite. He said with great enthusiasm. "Let's go. We'll catch up with them soon. They actually dared to steal my equipment. I will make them regret even playing God's Domain.” In a short period of time, Flaming Tiger gathered all the members of Shadow Workshop present in Red Leaf Town. He brought the 11 members of the Workshop and rushed towards the Dark Moon Valley. No matter what, he wanted to kill Shi Feng and obtain his equipment.

At this moment, Shi Feng and Blackie had arrived at the Dark Moon Valley. There was a workshop beside the flowing river. Shi Feng and Blackie quietly stood in front of him. They were looking at a bare-chested middle-aged uncle. In his hand, the man was holding a steel hammer. Ding! Damnit damnit! He continued hammering the old red ore.

Time slowly passed, bit by bit.

“Brother Feng, are we still going to wait? Now it's half an hour.” said Blackie.

"We have to wait. Without patience, he will not give us the Quest.” Shi Feng confirmed.

In his previous life, Hammer Trading passed this place by accident. He has found a workshop here. However, the blacksmith here did not notice him regardless of how Hammer Trading spoke to him. This made Hammer Trading furious, so he decided to continue with the blacksmith. He continued to stand to the side, sending a sharp gaze to the blacksmith. He never imagined that after some time, the blacksmith would actively speak up. Not only that, the blacksmith even gave Hidden Quest. This allowed Hammer Trading to learn the Forging Talent, becoming the Master of Forging of the era.

As Shi Feng thought of obtaining the Forging Talent, combining it with the Forging Book, advancing to an Advanced Forging Apprenticeship became an extremely easy task. When the time came, Gold Coins would rain down on his pockets.

After waiting for more than ten minutes... “Are you two interested in Forging?” The middle-aged blacksmith suddenly asked.

"Yes sir. We love Forging since we were young.” Shi Feng immediately said.

The middle-aged blacksmith nodded his head, saying in a satisfied tone, “Then since you like Forging, I can teach it to you. But first, can you help me pick up 100 pieces of Meteorite Ore? They can be found on the west side of the Red Star Mine.”

"of course. We will be happy to be at your service.” Shi Feng replied respectfully.

System: Hidden Quest 'Road Of Forging' accepted. Players were asked by Forging Master Jack to obtain 100 pieces of Meteorite Ore from the Crimson Star Mine.

The Red Star Mine was a nest of Level 4 Kobolds. These monsters liked ore the most. They would spend everyday time mining inside the mine. Because of this, Kobolds are born with great power. However, they have short limbs. Because they stay underground for long periods of time, their range of vision becomes short. They could only detect enemies within 35 yards. This distance was also the maximum attack range for a magician.

At the entrance of the mine, there were many Kobolds walking around. The entire group of them would be interested even if only one of them was attacked.

"Here. First, food and drink to satiate yourself. We will start working after that.” Shi Feng took out a Black Steel Beer and Apple Pies.

Blackie did not understand what Shi Feng was trying to do, but since it was Shi Fengs request, he definitely had his own reasons. Blackie sat down and started eating.

Ten seconds after eating the Apple Pie, all of Blackie's attributes suddenly increased by +1 points, the effect lasting for 30 minutes.

After drinking the Black Steel Beer, Blackie's gaze began to blur. When he saw the Level 4 Kobolds in the distance, their Levels suddenly reduced by 2; to Level 2. “Alright, let's get started. The hangover effect of a bottle of Black Steel Beer only lasts 30 minutes.” Shi Feng stood up. He took out a Smoke Bomb and walked closer to the entrance of the mine. Then, he threw it at the group of Level 4 Kobolds; there were currently over ten of them there.

[Smoke bomb]

Able to reduce visibility within a radius of 10 times 10 yards. Duration of one hour.

Smoke Bombs were able to reduce the sight of monsters by 10 yards. It was not very useful against other monsters. However, it was very good when facing the Kobold. Their vision was now reduced to 25 yards. As long as a mage attacked from a distance of 30 yards, the Kobolds would not be able to see them at all. They could only stand there and wait for their deaths. “Serang.” Shi Feng pointed towards the Kobold within the smoke.

Blackie half doubted Shi Fengs actions, but he still chose to believe in Shi Feng. His mouth began to curse. A moment later, a Black Arrow shot out and landed right above the very front Kobold.
