The Return of the Sword God

37 Rocket Shoes

When everyone saw the giant robot being piloted by the midget Gnome, they instinctively knew that he was something very dangerous. Upon hearing Shi Fengs reminder, they ignored the loot on the ground and immediately dashed towards the forest without the slightest hesitation.

Of course, Shi Feng would also not remain silent.

The Hazard Gnome was a very dangerous monster. Especially when he first showed up. He was even stronger than the Werewolf Felt with Death Berserk activated.

[Hazard Gnome] (Specialized Elite)

tier 5

HP 1600/1600

There is a very small chance for Hazard Gnome to appear after eliminating Wandering Gnome and Gnome Overseers. However, its appearance also signifies the start of a player's nightmare.

There was a saying in the God's Domain that warned people not to underestimate the Gnome just because they were midgets. If they get angry, they can easily annihilate your life at any time.

In his previous life, Shi Feng had met with the Hazard Gnome before. Back then, he was with the Elite party that was grinding ore. After killing the Gnomes, the Hazard Gnome appeared. They did not imagine that they would meet a Special Elite, so they all excitedly charged towards him. However, the situation ended in tragedy for the twenty people of the party.

The 1600 HP Hazard Gnome should not be taken lightly. His defense was abnormal, capable of reducing 80% of the damage he received. A Level 4 Berserker using an axe could only take 2 HP from a Gnome. On the other hand, the Hazard Gnome attack was even more devastating. Everyone would get a free trip back to the city after he fired a bullet.

Although Shi Fengs group had tried their best to escape, Hazard Gnome's hatred for their evil deeds was clearly irreconcilable. The rocket on the robot's back suddenly lit up. The steel machine that was over three meters tall drove at high speed towards Shi Fengs group.

While being chased, Blackie attacked with his Dark Arrow while running.

Although the arrow hit the Hazard Gnome, it only caused a slight amount of damage - 4.

Blackie's eyes widened when he saw the damage. He said in shock, “Disgusting! If that robot doesn't protect this Gnome, I can shoot it anytime!”

“Don't mind that for now and focus on running. Watch to dodge the bullets. As long as we are 1,200 yards from the mountain, Hazard Gnome will be back.” Shi Feng never thought, after getting a lecture from him, Blackie's skill would improve to the point of being able to reach his target while moving. However, fighting directly with the Hazard Gnome was a very foolish act.

Blackie understood Shi Fengs intent. He turned around and started chanting Evil Whip, tying the chasing Hazard Gnome with five thorns and greatly reducing the speed of the Gnome. With this, everyone managed to obtain a considerable distance from the Gnome.

As the Hazard Gnome broke away from the five thorns, high damage -23, -24, -23, -23, -24 suddenly appeared on his head. His HP had changed to 1479 in an instant.

The damage caused by Evil Whip was ridiculous.

Blackie surprised. Previously, his Level 3 Dark Arrow had only dealt - 4 damage. On the other hand, the Evil Whip had caused a total of over a hundred damage. The difference between them is too big. Does the Hazard Gnome have such a fetish?

Shi Feng saw hope when the Hazard Gnome's HP suddenly dropped in part. The Hazard Gnome has no immunity to plant-based attacks. Shi Feng immediately ordered, “Everything stopped running. Cola, get the Hatred of the Hazard Gnome and let his back face towards the group. Others attack and think about your position. As long as the Hazard Gnome raised his weapon, immediately avoid his muzzle. Blackie, attack as soon as the Evil Whip CD runs out. We have the chance to get rid of it.”

Whether they would live or die before they ran out of 1,200 yards was an uncertainty. So, why not fight? Who knows, they might even be able to get rid of this Hazard Gnome.

In Shi Fengs previous life, none of the players had killed the Hazard Gnome before. If they kill him now, something good might fall.

Right now, Hazard Gnome's hatred was targeted at Blackie. However, Lonely Snow was one step ahead of Gnome, using Charge on him. He used the Whirlwind Slash on the Gnome, causing 3 points of damage.

Although the damage was low, the instantaneous Fainting condition it brought about gave Cola the opportunity to use Divine Attacks, followed by Punishment. Both attacks caused -3, -2 damage and the additional resentment it caused made the Hazard Gnome lock down Cola.

“Very severe damage,” Lonely Snow was also surprised. He no longer dared to stay, turned around and ran over ten yards from the Gnome. He would definitely die, even though he had only been hit once by an electric saw.

On the other hand, Shi Feng was not afraid of him. He soon got behind the Hazard Gnome, using a series of skills: Thundering Flash, Double Chop, and Chop. Occasional critical attacks will also cause - 16 damage. Compared to the others, Shi Fengs damage was already extremely high.

However, the Hazard Gnome only gave an expression of disdain towards Shi Fengs attack. He continued to use his electric saw to attack Cola.

A series of fierce attacks had forced Cola to keep retreating; his HP had also steadily decreased. In hindsight, the healing of the Drowsy Sloth could not compensate for the damage Cola received. He could only watch as Cola got closer to death.

At the most crucial moment, Shi Feng used the Abyssal Bind. Nine pitch-black chains bound the Hazard Gnome, making Cola breathable.

In three seconds[1], the Hazard Gnome had only lost 7% of its HP after being showered by everyone's attacks. The total damage inflicted by the group was not even equivalent to one Evil Whip from Blackie.

When the three seconds ended, Hazard Gnome regained his freedom. The green-skinned gnome showed a mocking smile on its face, its tiny hands moving and manipulating buttons. The robotic arm that holds the electric saw makes the slash rotate, creating a beautiful arc. Shi Fengs entire person was sent flying. He crashed into a tree and lost 286 HP.

Cola rushed over, his HP having recovered by more than half. He used the Attack and Divine Punishment once again, trying to pull back the Dwarf's Hatred of Danger.

However, the Hazard Gnome had actually ignored Cola. Instead, he raised the gun in his left hand, aimed it at him and fired a bullet towards Shi Feng.

A dense barrage of bullets flew towards Shi Feng. However, Shi Feng had yet to land after being sent flying, so it was impossible to dodge bullets.

Kill Ghosts!

Shi Fengs twin instantly appeared before him. The doppelganger swung his sword, continuously blocking the bullets. Meanwhile, Shi Feng had activated Gravity Liberation. He jumped to the top of the tree, dodging the attack range of the Hazard Gnome. However, his doppelganger had been killed. After finishing the bullet casings, the Hazard Gnome began to change its magazines. After which, he continued to charge at Shi Feng. Everyone could only continue to attack, reducing the HP of the Hazard Gnome bit by bit.

However, Shi Feng was not easily exposed to attacks after he activated Gravity Liberation. Shi Feng also used the trees for protection. He barely dodged the flying bullets while continuing to attack the Gnome.

As for Blackie, he would immediately use Evil Whip once it was ready.

HP Hazard Gnome continues to fall, 64%... 50%... 30%T%... 20%... 10%.

When only 10% of the HP Hazard Gnome was left, the Gnome suddenly jumped out of the metal machine. He put on a pair of Rocket Shoes and started to run away. “No way... Monster can actually escape?” Blackie watched as the Hazard Gnome ran, at extreme speed, to a location without humans.

The others were shocked too. They never imagined the Gnome would have such high intelligence. He ran when he knew he couldn't win the fight.

“We can't let him escape! Otherwise, we won't fight anything! Cola immediately chased after Gnome. He had been bullied by the Hazard Gnome a moment ago, so his heart was currently filled with anger. How could he let the Hazard Gnome escape after making use of them?

“You want to escape? Impossible!” Shi Feng chased after him with Wind Blade.

However, the Hazard Gnome was undaunted. He sent Shi Feng a mocking expression before pressing the button on his waist. Rocket Boots spewed out huge amounts of fire, ready to fly.
