The Return of the Sword God

38 - Twin Snake Ring

Hazard Gnome's shameless Rocket Boots shocked everyone.

They had never seen a monster so good at escaping before. His human-like expression and actions were completely different from NPCs. The Hazard Gnome was like a person pretending to be an NPC.

Two streaks of red flames lit up, slowly lifting the Hazard Gnome into the air.

Aversion fills everyone's heart. However, they could no longer stop him, they could only watch the Hazard Gnome escape with their own eyes. The witches in the party were over 40 yards away from the Hazard Gnome. Lonely Snow was also over 30 yards away from him. It's not within Charge range. Moreover, the Faint effect of the Charge would become ineffective as its target floated in midair. Only the increase in Movement Speed would have an effect.

Currently, only Shi Feng was close to the Hazard Gnome. He's only 15 yards from there. However, Shi Feng did not have a ranged attack. Even if he chased after it, the Hazard Gnome would be over 20 yards off the ground by the time he arrived. In the end, Shi Feng would only watch the Hazard Gnome escape.

The Nine Dragons slash!

Shi Feng knew he could not catch up. He waved the Hell Sword which was shrouded in black fog in his hand. In an instant, nine lines of black fog shot out toward the Hazard Gnome. Shi Feng was unwilling to let that intelligent Hazard Gnome go.

Originally, Shi Feng had only regarded the Hazard Gnome as a Special Elite in general. He never imagined Gnome to be such a player.

During his ten years of playing God's Domain, Shi Feng had rarely seen such an intelligent Gnome. The Main God System would not simply provide a small monster with high intelligence. Such a conferment usually has a deeper meaning behind it. For example, those human heroes or legendary beings were all great characters. Their existence made people shudder.

Although the intelligence of this Hazard Gnome did not reach the level of Heroes or legendary creatures, he was still much smarter than Boss monsters. There might even be an unimaginable advantage to killing him.

Currently, the information that the Hazard Gnome displayed changed. He suddenly became Arcus Maddox.

[Arcus Maddox] (Rank of Kings)

tier 5

HP 600/600

Shi Feng felt a sense of familiarity upon seeing this name. It seemed like he had heard of it before, yet he could not remember anything about it.

However, the Gnome only had 600 HP. Shi Feng was confident he could kill a Gnome with the Nine Dragons Slash.

Just as the nine sword shadows were about to pierce through Arcus Maddox, Gnome took out a few steel balls from his small bag. He threw his ball towards the ghost of the Sword of Hell.

Brilliant sparks blazed as the two attacks came into contact.

Hongs... Hongs... Hongs...

A series of explosions forced the Hell Sword phantom to retreat. Just as the ghost prepared to attack Arcus Maddox once more, he immediately flew for 30 yards. Meanwhile, the nine ghosts of the Abyssal Blade could only attack targets within 30 yards of its range.

Shi Feng could only watch helplessly as Arcus Maddox fled.

"Omong empty. How could there be such a monster? His escape ability is only Bug[1]!” Blackie looked at the fleeing Arcus Maddox while cursing.

Cola also clenched his teeth out of hatred, sending several punches towards a nearby tree.

The other party members were also unhappy.

Everyone fought hard and long against these Elite monsters. However, just as they were about to reap the rewards of their efforts, their rewards grew and flew away. Is there anything more sad?

“Brother Feng, let's keep chasing him.” Blackie realized that the Gnome Movement Speed was not fast. In addition, the amount of fuel used for such boots should be limited. Who knows; the Gnome might land after a while.

"Forget over. Let's continue grinding Gnome.” Shi Feng shook his head. If they could catch up to the Gnome, Shi Feng would have long since chased after him. However, the Gnome Rocket Shoes were too powerful. It was titled as one of the Godly God's escape tools. Currently, the boots had just been activated. His speed would increase abruptly in an instant, and the Gnome would disappear in the blink of an eye. It would be an impossible task if they wanted to find the Gnome.

“It's best not to let us meet again. You can dream of escaping next time.” Blackie said in a sad tone as he looked towards where Arcus Maddox disappeared from.

In his heart, Shi Feng felt a pity to let Gnome go. However, it was no longer dangerous when they worked on the Wandering Gnome from now on. After this experience, the Hazard Gnome would most likely not appear again.

“Let's go, continue working on Wandering Gnome.” Shi Feng turned around and said to his party.

“Brother Feng, you are still the best! How could I not think about it? If we kill all these bastard brothers, we'll see if he doesn't show up again.” Blackie said with a laugh.

Shi Feng was silent. He turned around and left, no longer paying attention to Blackie who was fantasizing.

Suddenly, Shi Feng stopped his steps in shock.

“Sial, our luck is really bad! I never thought that Arcus Maddox would actually appear here, and he was also a Level 5 Hazard Gnome!” Shi Feng tightly clenched his hands, his brows furrowed. This was the first time he had become so angry.

When everyone saw Shi Fengs wrathful expression, they could faintly feel the surroundings turning cold. They inevitably took a step back; their foreheads were filled with cold sweat. Previously, they felt Shi Feng was a calm and relaxed person. They had never imagined Shi Feng would become so terrifying after becoming enraged.

The forest around them no longer looked lively but rather like a frozen, silent, cold, and dark hell.

“Brother Feng...... You okay?” Blackie asked carefully. She's surprised. Shi Feng was completely different from when he was angry or arguing with others. This was the first time Blackie had seen Shi Feng so enraged.

“Oh, it's okay.” Shi Feng reacted, replying with a smile. He stored back a powerful killing intent into his heart. Such killing intent was slowly honed over the years Shi Feng played Gods Domain. Compared to Tyrant Bear Cola ten years into the future, there was nothing special about Shi Fengs killing intent. However, right now, it was considered unbearable for Blackie and the others.

Shi Feng finally remembered the name Arcus Maddox.

Arcus Maddox was a famous Grandmaster Engineer in Gods Domain. Three years after Arcus Maddox shocked the nation by creating a sky fortress, the 'Twin Snake Ring', he later founded the Gnome Empire. With that, a new update of 'The emergence of a New World' was also activated. At that time, countless Super-Guilds began an expedition towards the fortress, ‘Twin Snake Rings.’ However, everything was annihilated, and Arcus Maddox was the cause of the incident.

On the other hand, Shi Feng was completely unaware a great character had appeared right before his eyes. He also lost the opportunity to kill Arcus Maddox, so how could Shi Feng not be angry?

“Party leader, there is a box here. Did it fall from Arcus Maddox during the explosion?” The Ravish Rat, who had been silent all this time, asked while taking out a small metal box from the grass.

Shi Feng received the box and looked at it. He found the words Arcus Maddox engraved on the metal box. Shortly after Shi Feng opened the box, he suddenly said with a laugh, “Good! Good job, Rat! With this, we do not fight in vain.”

When the group saw Shi Feng in an excited mood, they knew the item must be extremely valuable, as ordinary items were meaningless in Shi Fengs eyes.

As for wanting the item for themselves, none of them had ever thought of it that way. They had long since made Shi Feng their idol, and being able to help their idol naturally made them happy.

“Come do it this way. You guys stay here to work on something and level up. I still have something to do. Notify me when you have all reached Level 4.” Shi Feng stored the metal box and hurriedly set it up. No one can help him in the following matters. Only Shi Feng could continue.

Everyone felt reluctant when they heard Shi Fengs orders. However, hearing Shi Feng had plans for them after they reached Level 4, their anticipation grew as they obeyed Shi Fengs arrangements.

Furthermore, Shi Feng left a deeper region in the Dark Moon Valley.

The party had Blackie's AOE skill. Killing seven or eight Gnomes at once was not a problem at all, and their leveling speed was at least two or three times faster than the other party.

On the other hand, what Shi Feng needed to do was to utilize this metal box, and pass on the first step of his plan in Gods Domain.
