Tianyun Lao Mao
Chapter 332 Another Demonic Artifact
The Bloodhand Society's main camp was like an underground labyrinth, with twists and turns. Many level 30 Bloodhand Society knights patrolled the area. These knights wore red leather armor, carried knight's spears, and had as much as 200,000 HP. These NPCs always moved in groups of ten, making them extremely effective at killing enemies.
If Shi Feng and the others charged in, even with Kite, a Tier 1 swordsman, by Shi Feng's side, the outcome would not change. They would still be killed by these Bloodhand Society knights in an instant.
Even if Shi Feng and the others had the strength to kill these Bloodhand Society knights, charging in would still mean certain death, because the area was filled with various traps and magic arrays. In the past, Xiong Ba Tian Xia paid a considerable price for this.
Of course, Shi Feng would not act rashly like Xiong Ba Tian Xia, so he detoured and avoided direct confrontation. Since the area was well-connected, he could always find a way around if he was careful.
Finally, after spending a lot of time, Shi Feng and the others arrived in front of a heavy stone door that was tightly closed.
Next to the stone door were the words "Control Room."
This was where all the traps and magic arrays of the Bloodhand Society's main camp were controlled. As long as they could shut down all the traps and magic arrays of the Bloodhand Society's main camp, then the entire Bloodhand Society's main camp would no longer be a threat.
Cola had just pushed open the heavy stone door when he discovered a one-eyed old man in a black robe, holding a redwood staff, controlling a magic array in the control room.
Inka City, Tier 1 Elementalist, Level 30, HP 1,000,000.
"Fortunately, it's just level 30, not a level 50 Tier 2 mage, just as I guessed." Shi Feng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Inka City.
If it weren't for the bounty mission, the Inka City before him would be extremely difficult to deal with. Although he was only level 50, as a Tier 2 mage, he was no small matter. Killing a level 50 Tier 1 player was as easy as crushing an ant, not to mention a Tier 2 NPC.
"Guild Leader, a level 30 Tier 1 Elementalist might be a bit difficult to handle. Should we call in some more people?"
Cola was well aware of his own strength. His level was only 22. If it were a level 20 Tier 1 Elementalist, he could still withstand it, but a level 30 Tier 1 Elementalist was out of the question. Just the tier suppression alone would cause a lot of extra damage, not to mention the level suppression. With both combined, even he, as an MT (Main Tank), couldn't withstand the firepower of a Tier 1 Elementalist.
"Don't worry, you don't need to tank." Shi Feng smiled, then looked at the direct-line guard Kite next to him and said, "Kite is our MT, you are just support. Just activate the Magic Resistance Aura, and use the Protection Blessing for Kite at critical moments."
Cola suddenly forgot that Shi Feng had a direct-line guard like Kite by his side, with as much as 18,000 HP, which was much more durable than him, the MT.
A level 30 Tier 1 swordsman, although far inferior to Inka City in terms of HP, was much stronger than a Tier 1 Elementalist in close combat.
"Kite, you go head-on against Inka City, Ziyan, you heal Kite, Cola, you pay attention to releasing the Protection Blessing," Shi Feng immediately commanded.
Without the slightest hesitation, Kite charged directly towards Inka City and slashed with his sword, dealing more than 4,000 damage. Compared to the High Lord Nebula Tiger, Inka City's defense was much lower.
"Damn intruders, all of you shall become my lab rats." Inka City teleported, dodging Kite's sword skill, then waved his staff, and a water-blue magic shield appeared around his body.
The magic shield could be said to be one of the Elementalist's common defensive skills, capable of withstanding considerable damage.
Immediately, Inka City waved his hand again, and an ice wall prevented Kite from advancing easily. However, Kite was no ordinary guard. He immediately activated Gale Sword, leaped up, jumped over the ice wall, and slashed at Inka City several times in a row.
The magic shield shattered into starlight after blocking a few of Kite's sword strikes. However, the magic shield also bought Inka City a lot of time. An ice ring was immediately released, and bone-chilling white gas spread out. Kite jumped again to dodge the ice ring. Inka City immediately chanted a spell and pointed at Kite, and fireballs shot directly at Kite, who was tumbling in the air.
Kite turned around, and sword light shot out in all directions, cutting the incoming fireballs in half.
The exchange between Kite and Inka City was extremely fast. Ordinary players might not even be able to react, while Cola and Ziyan Liuyun in the distance were stunned.
This was the first time they had seen NPCs fighting each other. They didn't expect the NPCs' battle to be more exciting than many experts' battles, which made Cola and Ziyan Liuyun feel ashamed. They secretly estimated what the result would be if they fought Inka City, who was of the same level and tier.
After watching Kite and Inka City's exchange.
After simulating it in their minds for a moment, they came to a shocking conclusion.
They were not his match!
As for the reason why they were not his match, it was not the difference in HP, but the difference in combat skills. This result left the two speechless.
"Don't be stunned, this is a high-level NPC after all, not comparable to ordinary monsters. It's okay if your combat skills are not as good as theirs now. As long as you fight more and accumulate experience, you will be stronger than Inka City sooner or later." Shi Feng naturally saw what the two were thinking and couldn't help but comfort them.
Inka City was different from the Bloodhand Society elites outside. Inka City was originally a Tier 2 NPC, and his combat AI was naturally not comparable to those ordinary NPCs.
As for Kite, there was no need to mention him. He was a Dark-Gold guard, originally a Tier 2 Swordsman, so his combat skills were naturally very good.
In fact, Shi Feng was also very surprised when he first saw high-level NPCs fighting, especially Tier 3 and above NPCs. That level was truly high. If it were converted into the degree of control over one's own combat power, it would be more than 70%. According to the standards of God's Domain, that was a first-rate expert, much stronger than the current top player experts. Even an NPC like Inka City could exert 60% of his own combat power.
It was normal for Cola and Ziyan not to be able to compare now.
Afterwards, Ziyan Liuyun began to heal the injured Kite. Shi Feng assisted Kite from the side, using Yan Lei Bao (Flame Lightning Blast) and Abyss Shackles from time to time. He also adjusted the Seven Luminaries Ring to the Ring of Time and then to the Ring of Fire. He used Absolute Time when it was the Ring of Time, and Flame Spirit Storm when it was the Ring of Fire. This made Inka City, who was a mage, extremely depressed.
Whenever Inka City wanted to cast a very powerful spell, Shi Feng would use Absolute Time at the right moment, forcing Inka City to use his staff to block Kite's sword skills. For a mage, not being able to cast spells was like a tiger without claws and teeth, easily slaughtered by Shi Feng and the others.
Soon, Inka City's 1,000,000 HP began to drop rapidly.
90%...70%...30%...
More than ten minutes later, Inka City finally fell to the ground and stopped moving, turning into a generous amount of experience points. Shi Feng finally reached level 24.
Afterwards, Shi Feng shut down the traps and magic arrays of the Bloodhand Society's main camp. Without the traps and magic arrays, it would be much easier to deal with the NPCs in the Bloodhand Society's main camp later.
"Guild Leader, I found a key next to this old guy. What do you think it's for?" Cola ran excitedly to Shi Feng's side and asked.
"A key?" Shi Feng was a little puzzled. Logically speaking, these NPCs wouldn't drop any items.
Shi Feng took the key and saw that the purple-gold key engraved with complex magic patterns didn't show any information at all, displaying only "Unknown."
"What a strange key." Shi Feng didn't have any information about this key in his memory. However, since it dropped from Inka City, it shouldn't be an ordinary item. "Nothing is displayed. It seems I can only go back to White River City and find an appraiser to take a look."
For unknown things, Shi Feng suddenly thought of the skill All-Knowing Eye attached to the Holy Mark.
The All-Knowing Eye could probe all information, no matter what it was. It was even more powerful than the appraiser's Appraisal Eye.
"Let's take a look." Shi Feng used the All-Knowing Eye and looked at the key in his hand again.
This time, what was displayed was no longer "Unknown." All the secrets in the key were revealed to Shi Feng.
"This is actually a magic item!" Shi Feng was very shocked when he looked at the purple-gold key in his hand.
