The Return of the Sword God

Blackie's Luck

The Kobold inside the smoke was hit by the attack, 21 damage appeared above his head.

The Kobold became furious after being mysteriously attacked. Like a floodlight, the Kobold looked around in all directions with its blood red eyes. Such an action also caused the other Kobolds to start to be wary.

Inside the forest, Blackie's heartbeat continued to accelerate. He's very panicked.

Although the Kobolds looked to be at Level 2, their Attributes 100% belonged to Level 4. Drinking Black Steel Beer made players intoxicated, thus increasing the player's courage significantly. As a result, all enemies seen by the player will be reduced by Level 2. However, this matter would not reduce the Kobold Attributes.

If these Kobolds swarmed towards them, only death awaited Shi Feng and Blackie.

However, Blackie's worries were useless.

The attacked Kobold looked around him. However, he did not find any enemies. After whining for a while, he returned to his original state. The other Kobolds also stopped paying attention to their crazy comrades as they continued walking.

"Liet. They won't attack us as long as you keep a distance of 30 yards.” Shi Feng patted Blackie on the shoulder as he commented confidently.

He had planned all this before. Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent a lot of money to buy all those items.

Blackie became bolder after getting a push from Shi Feng. He constantly chanted curses and shot out the Black Arrow.

The Kobold only had 420 HP, and it was unable to withstand Blackie's attacks at all. After receiving over twenty Black Arrows, he breathed his last. Meanwhile, the other Kobolds by his side did not show any reaction.

Blackie became excited upon seeing the first Kobold fall.

He had killed a monster 4 levels higher. Although EXP was shared because it was in a two-person party, the amount of EXP it received was still a lot. His experience increased by 5% in an instant.

This meant that Blackie would level up after killing 20 Kobolds. He is safe and unharmed. If the monsters did not disappear completely, their leveling speed would be extremely frightening. With such a great way of leveling up, they could even rise to Level 6 very effectively. Blackie now understood why Shi Feng was so confident. Even if they had wasted a few hours on the way, being able to defeat the monsters here was definitely worth it.

After a while, the group consisting of around twenty Kobolds in front of the mine entrance had been completely cleaned up

Blackie had also risen to Level 1. After he equipped the Blackwood Staff and added all of his Free Ability Points into Intelligence, his damage increased by a huge leap. He could now eliminate 45 HP from the Kobold in a single blow.

Meanwhile, the Kobold group had dropped 12 Copper Coins and a Level 3 Common Cloth Armor. There are also 5 pieces of Meteorite Ore. Blackie's luck was pretty good.

According to what Shi Feng knew, the fall rate of the Meteorite Ore from the Kobold was not high; only one came out of ten of them. Nearly 1000 Kobolds had to be killed to obtain 100 pieces of Meteorite Ore. Now, however, only a group of Kobolds had given them 5 pieces of Meteorite Ore.

After storing his drops, Shi Feng proceeded to lure more monsters. With the advantage of his 16 Agility, Shi Fengs speed was faster than the Kobold. In a few moments, he had lured over 30 Kobolds. He also kept a distance of about 20 yards, but not exceeding 25 yards. When he had lured all the Kobolds into the cloud of smoke, Shi Feng increased his speed abruptly. He quickly distanced himself 25 yards away from the Kobold, causing them to miss the target. After losing its target, the Kobolds stood in a daze.

Blackie who stood over 30 yards away took the opportunity to attack.

The group of more than 30 Kobolds took less than ten minutes to clear. They dropped 21 more Copper and 6 pieces of Meteorite Ore. Shi Feng and Blackie's experience had also improved greatly.

In such a way, Shi Feng continued to lure monsters while Blackie continued to deal damage. Although the process felt mechanical and boring, Blackie did not complain in the slightest. Instead, he became stronger with each of his kills. He wished he could kill all day without rest.

After an hour, Blackie's level also rose to Level 2. His Dark Arrow rose to Level 3, and his damage increased from over 40 to over 60. The rocket-like speed of leveling up made him very happy, giving him even more motivation to reach Level 3.

The efficiency of killing their Kobolds also increased slightly along with Blackies much greater damage increase. The only drawback was the increase in MP consumption after the rise in Dark Arrow levels. Fortunately, there was the Magic Water Shi Feng had purchased. With that, Blackie could regenerate his MP completely before Shi Feng lured a new group of monsters, so that he could deal damage without pause.

Meanwhile, Shi Feng was observing Blackie's condition while luring a suitable number of Kobolds. Besides, he was just picking up loot. The number of Copper Coins and Meteorite Ore continued to increase.

After one hour of Blackie's effort, they managed to collect 73 pieces of Meteorite Ore, 6 pieces of Common Equipment, and 264 pieces of Copper. They would be able to collect the rest of the Meteorite Ore if they grinded it for another hour.

The system notification sounds right at this point.

System: Player Lonely Snow has sent you 10 Copper.

Furthermore, Shi Feng received a communication request. The one who contacted him was Lonely Snow.

"You?" Shi Feng had just finished luring the group of monsters. Since he had nothing to do, he accepted the call request.

“Halo, Expert Brother. I'm the Lonely Snow. We've met before at City Hall, and you even steered me to a difficult place. That place is too good. No one has stolen monsters from me, and I can also easily handle it. I'm already Level 2 now. I also plundered many Copper materials and coins. I've sent you 10 Copper. I'd like to know if you've received it.” Lonely Snow was very excited. Previously, he was worried that this expert would not bother him anymore. This was because experts were usually very proud; they would not even see a small character like him. Lonely Snow had obtained over 60 Coppers from the precious location he had purchased. His level had even risen to Level 2, leading other players by quite a lot. Spending 20 Copper on this is definitely worth it.

“So it was you. I have received 10 Copper.” Shi Feng only remembered it after being reminded. It's true there's such a thing. However, that was when he needed money to kill the Mayor early, so he casually gave some pointers. He did not mind too much with the remaining 10 Copper.

“Expert Brother, Dungeon Level 2 [Forest of Death] has opened, so I would like to invite you to dive into the Dungeon. My friends are all veterans, and they are all Level 2 now. They will not drag you down. Of course, all of the Swordsman Equipment obtained from the Dungeon will be yours. Do you have time?” Lonely Snow was a little nervous. Experts usually do not like to invite others, especially beginners. That was the reason why Lonely Snow mentioned that there were Level 2 veterans in the party; he was afraid that Shi Feng would directly reject him.

Deathly Forest?

Shi Feng had a deep impression of this Dungeon. As long as the number of Level 2 players in Red Leaf Town reached a certain amount, the first Level 2 Dungeon in Red Leaf Town, [Death Forest] would be unlocked.

Along with the opening of the Deathly Forest, the players of Gods Domain were informed of the difficulty level of the Dungeon. New Deathly Forest was conquered after many players reached Level 4 or 5.

Meanwhile, the true purpose of the Deathly Forest was to increase the number of skills a player could possess. The monsters inside the dungeon mostly dropped the basic skill books for each Job. However, the most valuable item within the Dungeon was its forging design. Only Final Boss, Werewolf Felot dropped him with extremely low odds.

Shi Feng was very interested in this forging design. If he could learn it, then he would be able to continue his plan.

"good. But I have my own conditions. I will bring the Cursemancer, so all Cursemancer and Swordsman equipment will be mine. Also, I want all the materials and design paper dropped by the Boss. If all of you are willing to agree to these terms then I can go with you.” Shi Feng casually requested most of his profits. However, he did not feel that there was anything wrong with it.

“We will meet at the Dungeon entrance in about two hours.” Shi Feng estimated Blackie's killing speed. In just over an hour, they could definitely complete the collection of 100 pieces of Meteorite Ore.

"That's great. Then I'll start preparing here. See you at the Dungeon entrance, Expert Brother.” Lonely Snow ended the call, a heavy burden was released from him.

At this moment, there were three other people standing beside Lonely Snow. Each of them was Level 2.

“What did the expert say?” ask a handsome Ranger.

Lonely Snow explained it to them word for word.

“What dog fart? He's just here to take advantage and rob our gear. What's the point of inviting him? If we add two more damage dealers, we can enter the Dungeon in the same way.” a Shield Warrior cussed furiously.

The male Cleric who was standing at the side pursed his lips, saying in a bad mood, “Then he said that all the magician class supplies belonged to his friend.”

Lonely Snow advised, “That person is truly an expert. He is also a Beta Tester. He definitely had a deep understanding of the Dungeon. He might even be able to guide us through it. Don't you all want to clear the Deathly Forest?”

“So, what if he's a Beta Tester? He had just had an additional month of experience in Gods Domain and his rough comprehension. In addition, the data has long since changed after the game was officially released. Even if he knew a lot about the Deathly Forest, how much use would it be?” The Shield Warrior asked in a dismissive tone. He felt those Beta Testers were just lucky. Their true skills and strength might not be comparable to theirs.

“We'll see how it goes once they arrive. If it was not good, then at that time there would be even more Level 2 players. It won't be too late, even if we've found someone else by then.” The leading Ranger.

Upon hearing this Ranger speak, the others nodded in agreement.

Currently, there was a flash of light in the Dark Moon Valley.

Shi Feng finally rose to Level 3. Unfortunately, the leaderboard for the level had not been opened yet. Otherwise, he would definitely be ranked first on the Red Leaf City leaderboard for his level.

“Finally Level 3.” Shi Feng hurriedly added 4 attribute points to Agility, letting his Agility reach 20 points.

System: Player Agility has reached 20 points. Activating the Hidden Basic Agility Skill [Quick And Deft].

[Quick And Deft] (Active)

When activated, have a body that exceeds that of a normal human.

The degree of freedom of the body is completely released.

Shi Feng suddenly felt a burst of strength from his entire body. He also felt his body become extremely agile. His five senses also experienced a huge increase. This increase allowed Shi Feng to exert his body's potential better.

Other than Shi Feng reaching Level 3, the last Kobold that Blackie killed suddenly dropped Level 1 Bronze Equipment: Warboots.

Shi Feng could not help but admire Blackie's luck. Level 1 to 3 common monsters would not drop any Bronze Equipment. The fall rate of Bronze Equipment from Level 4 wild monsters was one in ten thousand. Yet Blackie actually got it; his luck was heaven-defying.

“Brother Feng, what are his attributes? Let me see it too!” Blackie said excitedly.

“Atribute Warboots pretty good.” Shi Feng displayed his attributes.

[Warboot Recruit] (Bronze Ranking, Armor Plates)

Level 1

Equipment Requirement: Strength 6

Defense +8

Strength +1, Durability +1

Movement Speed +1

Durability 20/20

“It's too good. With this equipment, Brother Feng's speed will become even faster,” Blackie said happily. Previously, only he had obtained Bronze Equipment. It has troubled him to no end. Now that Shi Feng also had it, his heart became relieved as he said, “Brother Feng, how many Meteorite Ore do we still lose?”

"Not much. Only 4 more. We will be fine after the next wave.” Shi Feng looked into his bag. Without realizing it, there were already 96 pieces of Meteorite Ore in his bag. If someone else came here to work on something, they might need five to six hours to get this much. Luckily, there was Blackie. They had gathered most of it after killing several hundred Kobolds.

Just as Shi Feng was about to lure more monsters, his sharp senses detected three blurry figures approaching from behind Blackie.

“Blackie, quickly dodge!”

Shi Feng shouted as he took out his Sculpting Sword. With lightning speed, Shi Feng rushed over.

Blackie remained unaware of the situation. He was still stuck in happiness, unaware of the things that were approaching him.

“New to know now? You're tardy. He will be the first.”

Three figures suddenly appeared. They were three Assassin players, and one of them was Quiet Wolf, the one who had been killed before. A magician who was ambushed simultaneously by three Assassins would die, without question. There would be no tension in it, even if Blackie 1 level was higher than them.
