Tianyun Lao Mao
Chapter 25 Dark Night Ranger
Shi Feng's words were met with incomprehension.
It was just a roar; what was so noteworthy about that?
Seeing their dismissive expressions, Shi Feng said solemnly, "Listen carefully. The Howl of Hell isn't as simple as you think. In a moment, advance according to my instructions. If anyone screws up, don't blame me for kicking you out of the party."
Shi Feng's reprimand made everyone serious. No one wanted to leave the party.
"In a moment, Cola and I will walk in front. Lonely Snow, you protect the Oracle in the middle. Hei Zi, you and the Summoner walk in the back. Remember, no matter what happens, do not break formation. No one is allowed to attack first without my order. Do you understand?" Shi Feng explained the basic formation.
Shi Feng had Cola, the Guardian Knight, walk in front because he had Cola put all his free attributes into Endurance, bringing his health points to 310. This way, he could withstand attacks for a little longer and share some of Shi Feng's burden.
God's Domain's dungeons are not like those of other virtual games. They have a high degree of freedom, and the dungeons are very large. Some player parties even enter a dungeon and wander around for hours without finding a single Boss. Although the Silent Forest wasn't that big, it was still easy to get lost in the dark woods.
If they got lost...
Shi Feng could only scoff.
The Silent Forest's terror lay in the fact that players would get lost in the woods after entering, eventually dying mysteriously one by one. In his previous life, countless players entered like this, only to die again and again, without even seeing the shadow of a monster. If they were lucky, they would see a small monster, which would result in a party wipe. It wasn't until many of the guilds' experts had fallen that people understood the Silent Forest's terror, recognizing it as a terrifying dungeon that couldn't be cleared below level 5.
The Underworld Guild organized hundreds of players at level 5 to enter in batches to scout the way, finally figuring out the map of the Silent Forest, at the cost of hundreds of lives.
The entire Silent Forest had thirty-six paths, but only three of them led to the first Boss, Wilmi. These three paths were paved with the lives of many players. Two of these paths were very dangerous; without enough strength, death was certain. Only one path had few monsters.
Led by Shi Feng, the group entered the forest.
As soon as they entered the forest, everyone discovered that there were too many small paths, and they didn't know which one to take. However, Shi Feng didn't hesitate at all and directly chose one to walk down. The others followed closely, cautiously guarding their surroundings.
After walking for about five minutes, they encountered their first monster, and everyone immediately became tense.
"Don't be rash. Listen to my command," Shi Feng shouted loudly.
In front of them was just a level 2 Elite Night Rabbit, but because of the dungeon's enhancement, its attack, defense, and health points had been greatly increased, with a health point total of 700.
"Cola, you go lure it over. Oracle, pay attention to healing. Everyone else, don't attack until I give the order," Shi Feng quickly issued instructions.
Cola, the Guardian Knight, swallowed and cautiously approached the Night Rabbit's attack range. The others were also extremely nervous. Although it was just a level 2 Elite, this was a Hell-level dungeon.
However, everyone's nervousness was unnecessary. The man-high Night Rabbit saw Cola, the Guardian Knight, and charged straight at him.
Cola successfully lured the Night Rabbit over, and he didn't panic while doing so. He retreated while using his shield to block the Night Rabbit's attacks. Although every attack hit the shield, the damage was terrifying, 42 points of damage each time. By the time Cola returned to the front of the team, his health points had already dropped by one-third.
The Oracle named Sleepy Sloth had excellent awareness and immediately cast a healing spell as soon as he was in range, but each heal only restored 24 health points, which couldn't keep up with the rate at which his health points were dropping.
"Brother Feng, aren't we going to attack yet?" Hei Zi was a little anxious. Cola had less than one-third of his health points left.
Bringing an Oracle to a dungeon was a mistake. Among the healing classes, the Oracle's healing ability was the worst, but Shi Feng had chosen this, so he could only accept it. However, now that the MT (main tank) was about to die and they still weren't attacking, it was too much to bear.
"Wait," Shi Feng said firmly.
Time passed little by little. Cola kept using his shield to block the Night Rabbit's claw attacks, and his health points continued to drop, leaving him with only 20% of his health points. But Shi Feng still didn't give the order to attack.
Just when everyone thought Shi Feng was going to give up on Cola, an arrow flew out of the forest and shot towards Sleepy Sloth, the Oracle in the party. Lonely Snow didn't react at all, and Sleepy Sloth was hit in the chest, causing a large 123 points of damage to appear.
At this moment, Shi Feng shouted, "Sloth, use Life Payment, transfer the damage you received to Cola! Hei Zi, entangle the Night Rabbit and let Cola recover! Lonely, follow me! Everyone else, attack the Night Rabbit!"
The Oracle was indeed the worst in terms of healing, but the Oracle had a lot of health and was not easily killed in one hit. Moreover, they had two skills from the start, Life Prayer and Life Payment. Life Payment allowed the caster to turn the damage they received into healing and transfer it to others. For healers who didn't have many skills or equipment in the early stages, the Oracle had more advantages in the Silent Forest than other healers, which was why he chose the Oracle and gave up on the Priest.
After Shi Feng finished speaking, he rushed into the forest.
"You think I'll let you run?" Shi Feng looked at the black shadow running in the forest and sneered.
Wind Chasing Sword!
Shi Feng turned into a phantom and chased after it.
The reason he didn't let everyone attack the Night Rabbit was to use Cola as bait to lure out the mastermind.
These Night Rabbits seemed terrifying, but for an elite team, facing two or three of them was not a problem. However, in his previous life, a level 5 elite team would be completely wiped out because of the black shadow in front of him. This black shadow used the Night Rabbit as bait to lure players to attack, then it would sneak attack the healers from behind. However, the others were restrained by the Night Rabbit and couldn't save the healer, which would eventually lead to a complete wipe.
In the Silent Forest, if they didn't get rid of this guy, they would all be wiped out in the end.
With the speed bonus from Wind Chasing Sword, Shi Feng quickly caught up with the black shadow and used three sword strikes to block its path.
Knowing that it couldn't escape, the black shadow directly turned around and drew two daggers to block Shi Feng's attacks.
Clang, clang, clang!
With the famous sword Abyssal Blade, Shi Feng's strength was astonishing, directly forcing the black shadow to retreat three steps. Every step it took, more than ten points of damage appeared above its head. Finally, it revealed its figure in the moonlight.
Dark Night Ranger, Level 2, Special Elite, Health Points 1458/1500.
Seeing the Dark Night Ranger being knocked back, Shi Feng wouldn't give it a chance and directly used Abyssal Shackles. Nine pitch-black chains emerged and bound the Dark Night Ranger, immobilizing it for three seconds and reducing its defense by 100%.
Thunder Flame Explosion!
Chop!
With these two moves, astonishing damage numbers appeared one after another: -81, -98, -119, -124, instantly taking away a quarter of the Dark Night Ranger's health points.
Bound by the nine chains, no matter what abilities the Dark Night Ranger had, it couldn't break free and could only silently take the beating for a full three seconds.
Shi Feng didn't hold back and thrust his sword into the Dark Night Ranger's vital points, until the Dark Night Ranger broke free from the shackles, leaving it with less than 700 health points.
"Damn human," the Dark Night Ranger roared and swung its daggers like a storm, sweeping towards Shi Feng.
At this moment, Lonely Snow arrived and stunned the Dark Night Ranger again with a charge, interrupting the Dark Night Ranger's Whirlwind Blades.
Shi Feng seized the opportunity to use Chop, hitting the Dark Night Ranger's neck.
Lonely Snow also swung his great axe and chopped down.
The Dark Night Ranger finally woke up, but it was already at low health. It swung its daggers fiercely, knocking Lonely Snow away and dealing 64 points of damage. It turned its head and stared at Shi Feng, swinging its daggers again, cutting across his neck.
With a clang, Shi Feng blocked with his sword, not giving the Dark Night Ranger a chance to counterattack. He pushed the Dark Night Ranger back, and then with a few more sword strikes, he finished off the Dark Night Ranger.
He casually picked up the two items that had dropped and immediately ran to support Cola.
Seeing Shi Feng's agile movements, Lonely Snow, who was lying on the side, was stunned and even forgot to go and support him. His heart was filled with shock.
Was it possible to kill monsters like this?
