The Return of the Sword God

Chapter 26 - Magic Techniques

By the time Shi Feng returned to the party, the Elite Night Rabbit only had a third of its HP remaining.

Everyone had coordinated well; cola attacked in front alone, while the others dealt damage strongly. However, in order to control aggro, Blackie did not inflict excessive damage. Instead, he used Evil Whip to trap the Night Rabbit, giving Cola some breathing room. Cola's performance was also very good. He continued to hold the monster back, and he also had good control over aggro. Cola was indeed not a beginner level, but the road was still long before he became an expert.

“Cola, don't always try to block with your shield. Blocking attacks like any other virtual reality game is not a must. You can also avoid attacks. That way, you can reduce the stress on the healer. For everyone, focus your attacks on the target. Do not attack, aim your attack at the claws of wild rabbits or other weak points. That way, you can reduce a lot of load on MT.” Shi Feng did not directly go to help Cola, but instead, he taught everyone how to fight against monsters.

If everyone fought while considering Gods Domain as a traditional game, the result would be disastrous. This is because the healing given is usually far from being able to compensate for the damage received. Some will bring additional healers. However, this would result in insufficient damage; the result would still be the party's defeat. Players slowly got used to the fighting style in Gods Domain a few months after the game opened. The players back then were no longer as sweet and simple as they were now.

Shi Feng wanted to nurture everyone to build a foundation for his future Workshop. So naturally, he needed to let these people learn the fighting style of Gods Domain earlier.

Everyone thought Shi Feng was also a noob, so they kept a hint of dissatisfaction in their hearts. The expert did not say anything, so why would a novice like him give orders? However, Shi Fengs words made sense, so they remained consciously doing what Shi Feng had said.

Cola also began to change his fighting style. He no longer used his shield to block attacks rigidly. Instead, he took a step back as the wild rabbit launched its attack, taking the opportunity to dodge it. Although Cola still needed to use his shield to block most of the time, it still greatly reduced the burden of the healer.

Such a change made killing the Night Rabbit easier.

Some Level 1 noobs were also slightly surprised. There were some changes to their opinions towards Shi Feng. Shi Feng was not as irresistible as they had imagined.

Shi Feng simply smiled looking at this situation. He didn't mind their thoughts at all. Shi Feng only felt Cola was pretty good after seeing his appearance.

Although Cola became a first-rate expert ten years later, he was currently still far from that point. If it was an expert MT, they would not retreat, but choose to dodge the attack without moving. Such a decision was because if the MT made a move, the monster would also come into motion. This situation will cause problems for the remote damage dealers, which will result in the loss of a lot of damage. However, such a technique required a lot of experience in battle and a body with deft reactions. Cola still needs a lot of training.

The Elite Night Rabbit fell in an instant. It dropped a skill book for the Berserker, [Whirlwind Slash]. It also dropped three Copper.

Everyone would definitely be amazed by the drop rate of Hell Mode. The skill books were dropped right after they killed the Elite monsters. If they killed more than ten Elite monsters, wouldn't they be able to obtain more than ten skill books? Keep in mind that skill books are extremely rare, and even common skills can be sold for 1 Silver.

Shi Feng naturally knew their thoughts. However, even Hell Mode did not have such a high drop rate. It was only three to four times that of Hard Mode. Following which, Shi Feng passed the Whirlwind Slash to the dumbfounded Lonely Snow; then he passed the Level 1 Bronze Defense Plate Armor to Cola; the Night Ranger dropped its armor. With this item, the party's strength slightly increased.

Cola's mouth could not close after receiving the Defensive Plate Armor. He hurriedly thanked Shi Feng for that. With this Bronze Plate Armor, the Cola Defense not only increased by 14 points, but its HP also became 350 points.

Other than Shi Feng and Blackie, everyone in the place was filled with envy. Bronze Equipment is the identification of an expert. Outside of Dungeons, it was impossible to obtain Bronze Equipment, even if you requested it. And this equipment was obtained by Shi Feng alone. However, Shi Feng gave it to Cola without hesitation. Everyone's opinion towards Shi Feng changed slightly. They felt that such a party leader was not bad at all. Shi Feng was unlike other party leaders who would prioritize themselves when equipment was dropped. As for the Bronze Equipment, forget about giving it to the temporary party members; they would definitely keep it to themselves.

Following which, everyone followed Shi Feng as they advanced.

Although the dark and gloomy forest was terrifying, everyone was no longer as nervous as before putting on a stimulating fight.

From time to time, one or two patrolling Elite Night Rabbits would appear in front of them, and they would also respond quickly. When there were two Night Rabbits, Cola would restrain one of them, while Shi Feng and Lonely Snow would rush over and kill the other. As for ranged players, they would prioritize attacking the Night Rabbit in front of Shi Feng.

The Night Rabbit's 700 HP would disappear quickly due to the devastating bombardment.

After that, the party supported Cola and finished off the other Night Rabbits. Within moments, the two Night Rabbits were no more. With this process, the skill book, [Restore], devoted to healers also fell. This skill has a cast time of 2 seconds. When learned by Oracles, the skill can recover 37 HP instantly. It is much better than the Prayer of Life. It did not share the same Cooldown as Life Prayer, so the two could be used in coordination to negate the damage caused by Elite Night Rabbits completely.

Drowsy Sloth constantly thanked Shi Feng and the other party members for allowing him to learn the skill book. Recovery was a very important skill for conquering Dungeons. If sold outside, it would cost at least 2 or 3 Silver coins.

“Don't mind that. Skill books are meant to be used. Let's continue.” Shi Feng smiled as he replied.

Other than AoE attack skill books, healer grade skill books were the most expensive and rare. However, the Deathly Forest was a Dungeon meant for players to be able to build their foundations in the God Region. In Hell Mode, the fall rate of basic healing skills was extremely high. In Shi Fengs previous life, he had obtained four books of healing skills after entering Hell Mode in the Deathly Forest once. It is not considered valuable.

After more than an hour, Shi Fengs entourage arrived at a flat prairie. They finally met the first Boss of the Dungeon.

[Willie] (Chief Rank)

Level 3

Willie is a vicious Night Rabbit. Its height was as high as two people, and sharp steel claws adorned its claws. These claws were happy to create a fresh blood party, and those caught by it would be torn to shreds, turning into rivers of blood. It was unknown how many players had died horribly under these claws.

Not far from Willie, there were seven Elite Night Rabbits standing guard. These seven rabbits were very close to each other. As long as one of them was attacked, other wild rabbits would also charge in. There was also a great possibility to attract the Boss' attention.

Even if it was Shi Feng, he would not be able to deal with the seven Night Rabbits, let alone include a Boss.

However, if they did not finish off the seven Night Rabbits, there was no way for them to attack the Boss.

“Brother Feng, what should we do now? This place has too many Night Rabbits. This match did not give us any chances.” Blackie was very worried. Although the Boss was in front of them, the System had helped them. This difficulty is too great. No wonder it was a Hell Mode dungeon. It was impossible to pass through without absolute strength.

The System Settings also angered everyone. Who could fend off the seven Elite Night Rabbits? Even a Level 5 Guardian Knight would not be able to do so.

“You're all waiting for me behind that rock. Cola, prepare to accept the monster. Everyone is not allowed to attack without my command,” Shi Feng pointed towards the nearby boulder; shi Feng naturally knew that there were seven Elite Night Rabbits here.

Everyone obeyed Shi Feng's orders without question. All the monsters they killed on the way here relied on Shi Fengs orders to succeed. They killed quite a number of Night Rabbits, and everyone had obtained one or two Bronze Equipment. Blackie even had five pieces of Bronze Equipment. The strength of his party had definitely outperformed the other elite parties. The rewards for such an achievement belonged to Shi Fengs orders.

As for Shi Feng, he dashed to a location that was 40 yards away from the seven Night Rabbits. He quietly hid behind the bushes, observing every move of the Night Rabbit.

Everyone understood that Shi Feng was trying to lure monsters. However, the seven Night Rabbits were too close to each other. Shi Feng was a Swordsman. He did not have the ability to attack long distances, so how could he lure monsters?

Time passed by little by little. Everyone is very worried. If Shi Feng accidentally failed, then it would be the party's removal. However, Shi Feng calmed down. He did not move in the slightest as he looked at the Night Rabbit in the distance.

At this time, a cool breeze blew past. Dead leaves in trees are thrown.

Seeing the dead leaves drifting towards the Night Rabbit, Shi Feng picked up a small stone beside him. Gently, he threw the stone.

The direction the stone was flying was towards the Night Rabbit that was closest to the Boss.

"It's over."

Everyone understands what the outcome will be. It was definitely a combination of one Boss and seven Night Rabbits running towards them, turning them into blood sacrifices.

As the stone was about to hit the Night Rabbit, the dead leaves happened to block the stone and the Night Rabbit.

The stone struck the dead leaf, smashing it into the Night Rabbit.

The Night Rabbit suddenly turned around to look around, only finding a single leaf. However, how could a bumped leaf be so painful? Next, the Night Rabbit left his unit to observe the surroundings. He looked around aimlessly, not knowing what he wanted to find. Unknowingly he had moved more than 20 yards away from his unit, and he was still moving further and further away.

“Too good!” Lonely Snow could not help but exclaim; his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Everyone foolishly nodded as well.

What kind of accurate judgment and purpose would it take to hit a dead leaf while hitting the Night Rabbit, thus messing with the Night Rabbit's hatred, causing it to search its target blindly?

Even calling it an ultimat skill was not excessive.

Was Shi Feng really a beginner? He couldn't possibly be the god of the game here to fool them, right?

“Caller, the rest is up to you.” Shi Feng walked to the location of the stone. He looked towards the Summoner, patting the person on the shoulder as he spoke, with a smile.
