Chapter 123 - Survival of the Fittest

Ice-Blue Devil Flame .

It was one of the handful of Tier 2 Mysterious Flames that could only be found in White River City . This flame held a fatal attraction towards Forgers . Moreover, the Hundred Ghost Forest that housed the Ice-Blue Devil Flame was only a short distance from Red Leaf Town . Hence, it would be a big waste if Shi Feng did not obtain it for himself .

Be it earning money or forging items, the Mysterious Flame would provide Shi Feng with a tremendous amount of aid . Right now, Shi Feng was still several hundred Proficiency Points away from becoming an Intermediate Forging Apprentice . However, even if he became one, it would still be quite difficult for him to forge the Secret-Silver ranked Silver Dawn . When forging Secret-Silver Equipment, an Intermediate Forging Apprentice only had a 2% chance of success, while a Basic Forging Apprentice had a pitiful 1% .

If Shi Feng included the 20% from the Book of Forging, 5% from Blacksteel's Insignia, and 5% from the Runic Hammer, he would, at best, have a 32% success rate after becoming an Intermediate Forging Apprentice . Furthermore, forging the Silver Dawn required three extremely rare materials, which dictated that Shi Feng would be unable to create many of them . If Shi Feng forged the Silver Dawn with such low success rates, he would absolutely take an irrecoverable loss . Although the loss of tens of Silver Coins with each failure was not a problem to Shi Feng, the materials required were simply too rare . They were not items Shi Feng could obtain simply by wishing . An extensive amount of time was needed to obtain all of them . Moreover, the Abyssal Blade probably required ten Silver Dawns to level up .

Hence, the Ice-Blue Devil Flame was a must-have for Shi Feng .

The Tier 2 Ice-Blue Devil Flame would considerably increase the forging success rate, not to mention the various benefits it would bring Shi Feng in the future . Hence, this trip to the Hundred Ghost Forest was a must for Shi Feng .

Shi Feng departed Red Leaf Town, his destination: north . Due to the matter regarding stamina, Shi Feng did not hurry too much . The quicker he ran, the quicker he would run out of stamina . Instead, if he maintained his running speed at a certain threshold, the rate his stamina replenished was equal to its consumption . However, this threshold differed for every player as it depended on the player's Attributes, making it extremely hard for players to obtain .

When Shi Feng passed by the Level 5 monster area, Gray Wolf Prairie . . . In the midst of the grass that grew to the waist of an adult, players' corpses randomly lay about, scattered . From a glance, the majority of players who died were solo players, while a minority consisted of parties who party-wiped . Going several hundred yards deeper into the prairie, the thick grass suddenly grew restless . At the sight, Shi Feng immediately unsheathed both of his weapons . Soon after, two Level 5 players rushed out from the thicket, their appearances extremely unsightly . Bloodstains littered their clothing, and their weapons were no longer on their persons . When the two of them noticed Shi Feng, without hesitation, both of them immediately rushed toward him . After the two players ran out of the grass, a group of Level 5 White-eyed Gray Wolves similarly came running, closely pursuing the two players . The White-eyed Gray Wolves howled as they chased their prey as if announcing the location of their quarry to others of their pack .

Shi Feng immediately understood the two players' intentions; they wanted to shift their calamity onto him .

"Brat, count yourself as unlucky for meeting us . Since you are going to die anyway, you might as well help us lure this wolf pack!" an Assassin looked towards Shi Feng, laughing grimly . Saying so, the speed at which the two ran at Shi Feng increased somewhat slightly .

However, they greatly underestimated Shi Feng .

When the players were about to run past Shi Feng, Shi Feng's hands immediately latched onto the two's arms . With his superb Strength, he immediately tossed the players back to the pack of wolves that rushed ahead .

Before the players could even react, they landed in the middle of the wolf pack . Their bodies smashed onto a few of the White-eyed Gray Wolves as they landed, eliciting a few anguished wails from the wolves .

"You…" before the Assassin could even curse, the surrounding White-eyed Gray Wolves snapped at his neck and limbs . His flesh being torn apart, the Assassin's HP madly fell as he let out an agonizing wail .

The Ranger beside him was naturally not spared this fate, and very quickly, the wolf pack finished him off as well . Shi Feng held not an ounce of pity towards them .

If the two of them had run in a different direction, they might have had the slight hope of surviving . However, instead of doing so, they made the worst possible decision of trying to drag Shi Feng into the mess . They had absolutely no idea that, when compared to the pack of wolves chasing them, Shi Feng was much more terrifying .

While the wolf pack was attacking the two players, Shi Feng took the chance to use Thundering Flash the instant the two players were about to die . Like a fierce tiger released from its cage, the green colored arc of lightning loosed an earth-shaking howl as it pierced the bodies of the White-eyed Gray Wolves, causing a series of damages over -300 points . The White-eyed Gray Wolves died instantly, and only piles of burnt ash remained .

Although Shi Feng had killed over ten White-eyed Gray Wolves with a single attack, he was already Level 7 . The total EXP of several hundred points was almost negligible to him now . After collecting all the loot, Shi Feng took an Isolation Scroll out from his bag .

With the evolution of God's Domain, the monsters in the wild had similarly received a huge upgrade . Not only was their sensitivity greatly increased, but they also had a more flexible way of thinking, and their range of activity greatly widened . Their battle methods started varying, becoming more similar to real melee battle . Meanwhile, the biggest change the monsters underwent after the evolution of God's Domain was that these monsters would no longer shrink back, even against high-leveled players . Also, their range of vigilance would no longer reduce . Hence, players needed even more caution when dealing with monsters . Otherwise, they could easily lure a large group of monsters onto themselves .

On his way to this place, Shi Feng had met many players who died in such a way . For example, a party that had killed a few White-eyed Gray Wolves failed to leave the location quickly . As a result, the scent of blood spread to the surroundings and attracted more White-eyed Gray Wolves, wiping out the party .

After using the Isolation Scroll, Shi Feng quickly departed the Gray Wolf Prairie . He then passed through Kirk Grand Canyon, Cybus Lake, and many other high-level monster areas . After traveling for six hours, Shi Feng finally arrived at the Level 15 monster area, Hundred Ghost Forest .

The Hundred Ghost Forest was a cursed location . In this dark and withered forest, where sunlight never reached, only the Cursed Apparitions lingered . These apparitions had a 60% resistance against physical attacks and possessed 20% evasion . The monsters also had insanely high Attack Power, and to the current Shi Feng, they only needed to land two or three hits to kill him . However, these monsters only had 600 HP, and magical attack damage was increased by 100% . Hence, the Hundred Ghost Forest was a leveling heaven for mage classes .

Due to God's Domain evolving, these Cursed Apparitions had become much more sensitive to their surroundings . They were widely different from the other beast-type monsters . Instead of scent, these monsters could easily sniff out the aura of living beings within a hundred-yard radius, and even if one used Stealth, the Cursed Apparitions could still detect them .

However, Shi Feng had come prepared . He took out a bottle of Dispersing Potion, immediately emptying its contents . The potion concealed the aura of a living being for 10 minutes . With the aid of the Dispersing Potion, Shi Feng only needed to be slightly careful to avoid the detection of the Cursed Apparitions .

According to Shi Feng's knowledge, the location of the Ice-Blue Devil Flame was at the center of the Hundred Ghost Forest, at the fountain located at the central of Hundred Ghost Town . To obtain this Ice-Blue Devil Flame, the Guild, Glorious Light, had gone through a painstaking amount of trouble . Only after sending thousands of their members and having hundreds of them die, did they manage to clean out all the monsters found in Hundred Ghost City, obtaining the Ice-Blue Devil Flame .

Naturally, Shi Feng knew he did not possess the ability to clear out all the monsters in Hundred Ghost Town . However, he had other methods of securing the Mysterious Flame . Only, they were all filled with extreme danger . After arriving at the Hundred Ghost Town, with much difficulty, Shi Feng halted his steps, observing the Town . When a cooling breeze blew over Shi Feng from the withered forest, he suddenly felt an indescribable chill .

Killing intent!If Shi Feng did not have the experience of many years of blood-soaked combat, earning himself a natural instinct to detect danger, he would have been completely ignorant towards this faintly discernible killing intent . As this was not his first time feeling such a chillingly cold killing intent, Shi Feng immediately unsheathed both his swords .

At that very instant, a black figure appeared behind Shi Feng . Following which, a silver glow stabbed directly towards Shi Feng's neck and another towards his lower back . Like a poisonous snake, the two attacks were both swift and fatal . From these two actions alone, Shi Feng knew his attacker was a top-tier expert immediately .

Although Shi Feng was slightly on guard, the speed of the attacks was just too swift for him to dodge .
