Chapter 1 Dealing with the Dark Scorpion

As the Blood刃Demon was struck by the emerald green beam, a poison status also appeared above its head.

-22347

After the damage appeared, Shi Feng clearly felt that controlling the Blood刃Demon had suddenly become difficult, as if its body had been filled with lead.

"What potent poison," Shi Feng said, slightly astonished after checking the poison status.

Paralyzing Toxin, inflicts 30,000 damage every 0.8 seconds, causes paralysis, reduces reaction speed by 40%, attack speed and movement speed by 30% for twelve seconds, and can stack up to 10 times.

In God’s Domain, most toxins only cause enemies to lose health. Inducing paralysis is difficult, let alone stacking it. Even though the Blood刃Demon’s resistance is high and can reduce some damage, if it is stacked ten times, it will be finished.

The stacking of the toxin not only increases damage, but also greatly reduces speed, making it increasingly difficult to resist the Dark Scorpion’s attacks. Moreover, the Dark Scorpion’s combat skills are not low. The mutated Dark Scorpion possesses the skills of a high-level player, with five tails that make it far superior to ordinary high-level players in both attack and defense.

Seeing the Dark Scorpion launch another wave of attacks, the paralyzed Blood刃Demon could not resist and was hit again, causing a series of damage numbers in the tens or even hundreds of thousands to appear, rapidly decreasing its health. The paralyzing toxin stacked up to four layers in one go.

Just receiving 120,000 damage every 0.8 seconds, with reaction speed reduced by 60%, and attack and movement speed reduced by 50%...

Even with its high level, the Blood刃Demon wouldn't last long and would be killed by the Dark Scorpion swarm.

"Fortunately, I prepared the Ancient Scroll." Shi Feng glanced at the mutated Dark Scorpion and then commanded the Ancient Heroic Spirit to start chanting a spell.

Tier 2 Magic, Wind of Healing!

Immediately, a light green storm formed around the Blood刃Demon, directly dispelling the original Paralyzing Toxin status. The more than 10% loss of health also quickly recovered, soon returning to full health.

After the healing was complete, Shi Feng had the Ancient Heroic Spirit use the Tier 3 Magic, Earth Entangling Vines.

Suddenly, vines emerged beneath the Dark Scorpions, binding all of them. No matter how the Dark Scorpions struggled, tearing apart the vines, new vines would always bind them, greatly reducing their mobility. They would also receive 50,000 damage every second, lasting for twenty seconds.

This was extremely effective against monsters that did not have restriction skills.

With the binding effect, the Blood刃Demon also wielded its battle blade and began to eliminate the Dark Scorpions first. Although a normal attack only dealt more than 40,000 damage, any skill would deal more than 100,000 damage. Shi Feng also used Flame Domain.

Although Shi Feng was suppressed by the power of the world, causing his attributes to decrease significantly, Shi Feng, wielding the Holy Sword Thunderer, had a 100% damage increase against dark creatures, making him the nemesis of dark creatures.

Damage numbers of over 200,000 appeared one after another, with the damage increasing every second. After one wave of Flame Domain attacks, the Dark Scorpion swarm's health directly decreased by nearly 30%.

Then, Shi Feng used Thousand Light Blade, another wave of damage exceeding 200,000.

Before the attack ended, the Ancient Heroic Spirit, who had been chanting magic, used the Tier 3 Forbidden Spell, Starfall Rage. Beams of starlight fell from the sky, with power far surpassing Shi Feng’s Flame Domain. One wave of attacks dealt 500,000 to 600,000 damage, and unlike group attacks, it only targeted enemies within range. Seven consecutive waves of attacks not only greatly reduced the Dark Scorpion swarm's health once again but also left them in a heavily injured state, with attributes, defense, and combat power all declining to some extent.

This caused the damage dealt by the Blood刃Demon to increase greatly, with damage numbers of 70,000 to 80,000 appearing one after another.

The Dark Scorpions' health decreased like flowing water, and soon one of the Dark Scorpions was killed.

Even without the vine bindings, the heavily injured Dark Scorpions were no longer a threat. Shi Feng had the Blood刃Demon directly avoid the mutated Dark Scorpion and attack the other Dark Scorpions, leaving the mutated Dark Scorpion with no choice but to watch its subordinates being killed one by one.

It wasn't until only the mutated Dark Scorpion remained that Shi Feng had the Blood刃Demon face it head-on. Even if it was poisoned, the Ancient Heroic Spirit's healing ensured that the mutated Dark Scorpion's health decreased bit by bit.

72%...70%...65%...

In less than ten minutes, Shi Feng activated God's Blessing and dealt the final blow to the mutated Dark Scorpion.

With a tragic whimper, the mutated Dark Scorpion fell at Shi Feng's feet, dropping a full eight items.

"They really aren't easy to deal with," Shi Feng said, breathing a sigh of relief as he looked at the dead mutated Dark Scorpion swarm.

Although he had known that the monsters of higher planes were strong, he had not expected the monsters of the dark world to be so strong. Just dealing with a level 68 Great Lord was so difficult.

If he hadn't summoned a healing-type Heroic Spirit, the outcome of this battle would have been uncertain.

If he encountered a higher-ranked Great Lord, he would probably have to run.

However, although dealing with the mutated Dark Scorpion was indeed difficult, the loot dropped after killing it made Shi Feng a little excited.

The nine Lord-ranked Dark Scorpions dropped a total of thirty-seven items, fifteen of which were level 60 Mysterious-Iron equipment, and eight were level 60 Bronze equipment. This was much higher than the drop rate in the outside world. Normally, Lord-ranked monsters only dropped Bronze-grade equipment, and Mysterious-Iron grade would require High Lords and Great Lords, and even then, only one or two pieces would drop.

In addition to the weapons, equipment, and materials from the Dark Scorpions, three Dark Crystal Shards were also dropped, which was better than Shi Feng's expectations.

However, compared to these, the items dropped by the mutated Dark Scorpion were even more enticing.

Among the eight items, three were equipment. One was a level 60 Mithril-grade cloth robe, and two were level 60 plate armor Mithril set pieces, the Dark Devourer.

Level 60 Mithril sets were top-tier equipment even at level 60, and Shi Feng was especially interested because the Dark Devourer set had eight pieces. As long as four pieces were collected, they could be equipped at level 55. If all eight pieces were collected, they could be equipped at level 50.

Equipping a level 60 Mithril set at level 50 would make its base stats higher than even a level 50 Dark-Gold set, not to mention the set effects of the Dark Devourer. Two set effects would reduce magic damage below Tier 2 by 70% and Tier 2 magic damage by 40%. The six-piece set effect could convert damage taken into Strength and Endurance, increasing Strength and Endurance by up to 30%.

If the guild's MTs and Berserkers equipped it, they would be invincible.

In addition to the three pieces of equipment, two Dark Crystal Shards were also dropped. Among the remaining three items, two were Paralyzing Toxin Potions, which could be applied to weapons to inflict Paralyzing Toxin, lasting for thirty minutes. Each bottle could be used three times, making them rare items. Although not as strong as the mutated Dark Scorpion's toxin, they were lethal enough to monsters and players.

Then, Shi Feng took out a crystal with alternating black and white light from his backpack space, his eyes slightly excited.

The last item dropped by the mutated Dark Scorpion was the Mutated Dark Energy Crystal, which was extremely rare in the dark world and even regarded as a treasure by dark forces players.

This was an item that could only be dropped by mutated dark creatures.
