Chapter 14 Skill Book

In the noisy square of Red Leaf Town, streaks of white light flashed, and figures appeared one after another—the resurrected members of Shadow.

These people looked dejected and extremely frustrated.

Nothing is more painful and agonizing than gaining something only to lose it immediately.

One moment they were dreaming of dominating Red Leaf Town and rapidly leveling up, and the next they were dying and returning, losing both levels and skill proficiency. Moreover, the experience accumulated at level 1 was not as good as before, far worse than ordinary players.

Yan Hu, resurrected, had an even more livid face, his eyes capable of devouring people.

System: Player Ye Feng killed you. You will be resurrected in Red Leaf Town in 3 seconds, and your level will drop by 1, and the proficiency of all skills will decrease by 100 points.

"Ye Feng, I won't let you go. I will make you wish you were dead!" Yan Hu roared, looking at the data in the system record, scaring other players away, not daring to look directly at this madman.

After venting for a while, Yan Hu ordered everyone to check their backpacks to see what they had lost.

Although everyone suffered a great loss from dying once, farming kobolds not only provided experience but also drops. This was the only thing that made everyone feel gratified—at least their efforts weren't in vain.

Yan Hu opened his backpack and immediately felt a sweet taste in his throat, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Immediately, right now, we're going to Darkmoon Valley. I have to kill that kid!" Yan Hu roared in a fit of rage.

The skill book he had prepared to mock Shi Feng with was gone. That was a very rare swordsman skill, also the most valuable thing that dropped from the kobolds. Now it was gone.

But what was most unforgivable was that this skill book had fallen into Shi Feng's hands. In the end, he had worked hard for Shi Feng. He could not tolerate this. Even if he killed Shi Feng back to level 0, it would not relieve his hatred.

The other members didn't understand what was wrong with Yan Hu at all. Going to find Shi Feng now was completely futile. No one would be foolish enough to wait for them to take revenge; he must have already slipped away and was laughing at them in that place.

At this moment, Yan Hu's communication device rang.

"Who is it! Bothering me at this time, are you looking to die?" Yan Hu cursed as he answered.

"Yan Hu, your temper has grown in just one day," said the voice on the other end, cold and sounding very angry.

Yan Hu felt the voice was very familiar. When he realized who it was, his face turned extremely ugly: "Brother Zhang, how is it you? I was just educating my subordinates. I didn't expect you to contact me. Brother Zhang, please don't mind it. I wasn't talking about you."

"Alright, I know all about your affairs. Look at the good things you've done. Look at what you've turned Shadow into in Red Leaf Town. I'll be there soon. From now on, you don't have to be the captain of Red Leaf Town anymore. The team's elementalist, Silent Rain, will temporarily take over. If you haven't leveled up to 2 by the time I get to Red Leaf Town, then get lost. Shadow doesn't need trash."

Hearing these words, Yan Hu wilted entirely. His hatred for Shi Feng was so great that all the seas and lakes could not wash it away.

Meanwhile, in Darkmoon Valley, Shi Feng and Hei Zi were picking up the items dropped by the Shadow members.

Shi Feng was currently holding the skill book dropped by Yan Hu.

"Yan Hu is so generous. He even left this behind to give to me." Without saying a word, Shi Feng chose to learn it.

Chasing Wind Sword, Action-type, requires a sword, launches a surprise attack on enemies within 5 yards out to 30 yards, movement speed increases by 40% to charge towards the target, attack speed increases by 20%, lasting 3 seconds, cooldown time 25 seconds, Level 1, proficiency 0/300.

With this skill, the swordsman's mobility would be greatly enhanced, and it would have a great restraining effect on rangers and mages who like to kite.

"Brother Feng, now the Star Meteorite ore is complete, and there is also a lot of bronze ore. Shadow really did us a big favor." Hei Zi laughed, picking up the dropped ore from the ground. Seeing a dark green ore on the ground, he picked it up and asked, "Brother Feng, what is this Starlight Stone?"

Shi Feng, who was picking up ore, suddenly turned around and ran towards Hei Zi when he heard "Starlight Stone," not even picking up the Star Meteorite ore at his feet.

"Damn, it really is a Starlight Stone. Hei Zi, your luck is too good. You can even pick this up." Shi Feng took the dark green ore and looked at it carefully, excitedly saying.

All monsters in the world have a chance to drop Starlight Stones, with a probability of one in a million. It might be garbage to others, but to him, it was priceless and the most needed thing.

"Brother Feng, what is the use of this Starlight Stone?" Hei Zi asked curiously. Shi Feng, who had always been calm and collected, was so excited, which showed the preciousness of the Starlight Stone.

"It's for eating, but not for players." Shi Feng smiled slightly, stopped explaining, and put away the Starlight Stone.

"For eating?" Hei Zi was a little confused. Who would eat stones? But Shi Feng was unwilling to explain, so there must be a reason, so he didn't ask any more questions.

After a while, all the drops were picked up. They harvested a total of 14 Star Meteorite ores and 32 bronze ores, not only completing Shi Feng's task but also exceeding it.

Then the two came to the blacksmith shop.

"Master Jack, I have collected the Star Meteorite ore you wanted." Shi Feng handed over all the Star Meteorite ore, leaving none behind. This was a quest item. Even if it was sold to an NPC, it would only be 1 copper per piece, which was not worth anything at all.

"Young man, you did a good job. But if you want to be an outstanding blacksmith, you need enough power to obtain precious ores. There is a powerful kobold leader in the Crimson Star Mine. Go kill it to prove your strength." Master Jack took the Star Meteorite ore and said with heroic words.

System: Hidden quest 'The Road to Forging', requires killing the kobold leader in the Crimson Star Mine, with a time limit of 1 hour.

Seeing that there was a second stage quest, Shi Feng couldn't help but curse. This time, he was in trouble.

Sure enough, everyone would hold something back. No one could be trusted. They were all liars.

In his previous life, One Hammer Deal didn't say anything about a second stage quest at all. Now a second stage limited-time quest popped up, and he had to deal with a leader monster. That was not a common elite monster, but a leader stronger than a special elite, equivalent to a dungeon boss. For him, who was only level 3 now, it was too deadly.

In his previous life, One Hammer Deal was level 16 when he took on the quest, making it much easier to complete.

"Forget it, let's go take a look first." There was nothing he could do about being tricked. Shi Feng didn't plan to give up. The effect of the forging talent was too great, and he had to learn it.

Then Shi Feng and Hei Zi cleared out the kobolds along the way, constantly delving deeper into the Crimson Star Mine.

Compared to the kobolds in front of the mine entrance, the kobolds inside were no longer level 4 but level 5. It took a lot of time and effort to kill them. Often, before one was killed, another would respawn. If it weren't for enough Black Iron Beer, which reduced the kobolds' level by 2, the killing speed would not be able to keep up with the respawn rate.

Half an hour later, Shi Feng arrived at the deepest part of the Crimson Star Mine.

This was a large open space, with more than a dozen kobolds mining around, and in the center of the open space stood a large kobold wearing armor, constantly directing other kobolds to work.

Kobold Leader, Leader-class, Level 5, HP 2100/2100.

The HP alone was despairing, not to mention that the kobold leader was wearing heavy armor, and its defense must be extremely high. It was almost impossible to cause high damage with physical attacks. Moreover, the HP recovery speed of leader-class monsters during combat was 2% every 5 seconds, which meant recovering 42 HP every 5 seconds. Don't underestimate it. Ordinary level 5 physical output players might not be able to deal 42 damage in 5 seconds.

As for using smoke bombs to kill it without taking damage, it was impossible. The field of vision of leader monsters was extremely large. Even ordinary kobolds had a 55-yard range. Reducing it by 10 yards would still leave a 45-yard distance. Even the ranger with the longest range only had 40 yards, which was not enough.

Looking at the kobold leader in front of him, Shi Feng weighed it again and again, and smiled helplessly: "Could it be that I really have to use that?"
