Reincarnation Of The Strongest Sword God - Chapter 202

Chapter 202

Chapter 202 - Scorching Lamia

Within the brightly lit Flame God’s Cave, Shi Feng advanced further into the cave relentlessly .

The Lava Hound he previously killed had raised his Skill Proficiencies by quite a bit . However, that was it . In contrast, the EXP the Level 25 Lava Hound gave was much less .

However, this was not strange .

After all, the monsters within the Flame God’s Cave had both high Attack Power and HP but gave out very little EXP .  Under normal circumstances, average players would not grind here at all . However, it was a different story once players had the Flaming Sun Scripture . With it, they could easily deal with the monsters in the Flame God’s Cave . Moreover, the monsters here dropped Flame Crystals .

Flame Crystals were the main materials used for crafting Basic Fire Resistance Potions .

By the time the majority of players reached levels between 20 to 30, they would discover that most Party and Team Dungeons required a high Fire Resistance . Otherwise, they would have no way of raiding these Dungeons . The Level 25 large-scale Team Dungeon, the Flame Nest, for example; without Basic Fire Resistance Potions, players would have absolutely no way of conquering it . Yet, this Team Dungeon had loads of good equipment and items in it . Moreover, out of all the Level 25 Dungeons, the Flame Nest gave out the most Guild Reputation . Most importantly, there was a very small chance for players to obtain a Guild Mine Certificate and Guild Medicine Garden Certificate from the Dungeon .

These were both items that could allow a Guild to develop itself further .





Normally, only Guilds with their own Guild Residence would be considered true Guilds . Meanwhile, players could establish certain constructs within the Guild Residence to further aid in the Guild’s development . Among these facilities, two of the most important constructs were the Medicine Garden and Mine . These two constructs could provide the Guild with a fixed amount of herbs and ore on a daily basis, and it could greatly reduce the Guild’s burden . It could also allow Potionmakers and Forgers to have sufficient resources to increase their Lifestyle Skill Proficiencies .

Hence, as long as it was a Guild that possessed their own Guild Residence, they would unhesitatingly raid the Flame Nest regardless of the price they had to pay to obtain these two certificates .

As such, plenty of Guilds had tried to raid the Flame Nest when their players reached between 20 and 30 Levels, causing the Basic Fire Resistance Potion to become a high-demand product .

Even until now, Shi Feng had remembered that the Basic Fire Resistance Potions at that time had sold for 50 Silver Coins per bottle . Meanwhile, a single Flame Crystal sold for 15 Silver Coins . Thus, even at the cost of three to four Gold Coins, players would willingly purchase the Flaming Sun Scripture . After all, they could easily obtain 25 to 30 Flame Crystals by grinding the Flame God’s Cave for two hours .

In the Flame God’s Cave, a Common ranked Lava Hound had a 3% chance of dropping a Flame Crystal, three times higher than the drop rate of fire-type monsters outside . Meanwhile, the Level 25 Elite monsters in the Flame God’s Cave had a 100% chance to drop one Flame Crystal and a 10% chance to drop two Flame Crystals . Of course, these monsters would also drop equipment .

As for Level 25 Special Elites, they had a 100% chance of dropping two Flame Crystals, a 20% chance to drop four Flame Crystals, and a 10% chance to drop five to seven Flame Crystals .

Level 25 Chieftain Bosses were even more rewarding . They had a 100% chance to drop 10 Flame Crystals, a 30% chance to drop 13 pieces of Flame Crystals, and  20% chance to drop 20 to 25 Flame Crystals . Players could easily earn up to 2 Gold Coins by killing a single Chieftain Boss . Not to mention, these Bosses also dropped equipment and tools .

Shi Feng continuously killed lone Level 25 Lava Hounds as he advanced further into the depths of the Flame God’s Cave . Even when he met two Lava Hounds at the same time, he still easily dealt with them . Only, more time was necessary .

The Flame Breath of the Lava Hounds could be easily dodged . Players only needed to take note of the Lava Hound’s throat . When its throat glowed and gave off the color of fire, it was about to spit out flames . However, the damage of this move was only a small matter to Shi Feng; it dealt about only -100 damage in total to Shi Feng .

As for the Lava Hound’s other skill, Flame Explosion, it could cause extremely high flame damage to all enemies within an 8-yard radius .

Without 120 points in Fire Resistance and 90% damage reduction to fire-type attacks, MTs of the same level would instantly lose three-fourths of their HP to this single attack . However, the Lava Hound’s actions were obvious before it would cast this skill . It would raise its claws high, then slam them on the ground, creating an explosion of flames . However, the skill’s effective range was wide, making it extremely hard to avoid . It was practically a sure-hit skill .

Fortunately, Shi Feng’s Fire Resistance was extremely high, and he would, at most, receive around -100 damage from the Lava Hound’s Flame Explosion . Shi Feng had over 1,800 HP, so this damage was not significant .

Another hour or so passed by, and Shi Feng finally arrived at the core area of the Flame God’s Cave . On his way here, Shi Feng had killed many Lava Hounds, and due to the Luck +3 provided by the Shadow’s Blessing he wore, he obtained a bountiful number of Flame Crystals . He could get one Flame Crystal for every half a dozen or so Lava Hounds he killed .

Throughout his journey, Shi Feng had killed over 40 Lava Hounds, and obtained a total of eight Flame Crystals . His experience had also risen to 37% of Level 14; his leveling speed could already be described as flying . His skills, Chop, Thundering Flash, and Thunder Flame Explosion, also rose to Level 7, Level 5, and Level 3 respectively . If including the upgrade provided by the Abyssal Blade, these skills would be Level 10, Level 8, and Level 6 respectively . These improvements had pushed Shi Feng’s damage output to a whole new level once more . Unfortunately, the Lava Hounds Shi Feng killed did not drop any equipment; the same went for the Forging Designs that Shi Feng most desired .

The core area Shi Feng had reached was a large, empty lava field; molten lava flowed throughout the surroundings . At the highest point of the empty field sat plenty of bright crystals reflecting the glow of the lava into the surroundings, illuminating the spacious and empty field . The cooled accumulation of lava formed the land here . This place was more like a swamp than a durable stone road, and players would find it very hard to transverse across this lava field . A single misstep would instantly lead to players fall into a pit of molten lava . If players did not possess a definite control over their own bodies, they would find themselves at a serious disadvantage when battling here .

Meanwhile, on the empty land a short distance away, Shi Feng discovered plenty of Level 25 Elite Flame Naga silently guarding . Occasionally, he could also spot a few Level 25 Special Elite Flame Naga Warriors . Compared to the Lava Hound, these monsters possessed much more intelligence . Aside from attacking with flames, they could also deal a substantial amount of physical damage . These monsters also had exceptionally fast reactions, especially the Flame Naga Warriors . These warriors wore armor and wielded a shield in one of their hands . They were practically Shield Warriors, and players would find them extremely difficult to deal with .

[Flame Naga] (Elite Rank)
Level 25

HP 20,000/20,000

[Flame Naga Warrior] (Special Elite)

Level 25

HP 50,000/50,000

Soon after, Shi Feng lifted his head and shifted his gaze towards the distant central region of this lava field .

Due to the long distance, Shi Feng had to squint and focus his eyes for quite some time . Only after activating his Extraordinary Vision could he discover a beautiful figure laying atop a stone altar .

 
That was a Lamia . Unlike her Naga brethren, who possessed the heads and faces of a snake, although the lower half of this Lamia body was a snake’s tail, her upper body was that of a human’s . This Lamia possessed beauty that even women would envy . Her eyes were like red gemstones, giving off a dazzling glow . Her lustrous and seductive black hair was tied into twin ponytails . Exposed to the light of the flames, her delicate white skin shone like supple white jade .

The most attractive parts of this Lamia were her elegant temperament and her exotic beauty . The bright silken blouse she wore was especially eye-catching, as it served to accentuate her delicate body and ample breasts further .  Just a glance at this Lamia would easily captivate any intruder .

It was truly hard to imagine that this delicate and beautiful Lamia was the Scorching Lamia Cela, the Level 25 High Lord ranked Boss of the Flame God’s Cave .

“Sure enough, the benefits of pioneering a new land are plentiful; I have already found a High Lord rank on this first trip . ”

In Shi Feng’s previous life, most of the Bosses Shi Feng had met were Chieftain rank, and only rarely could he meet a Lord ranked Boss . Only with superb luck could one find a Lord ranked Boss .

Shi Feng’s eyes shone as he gazed at Scorching Lamia Cela’s attractive appearance; his breathing became slightly hurried . He also grew excited, a never-before-seen resplendent smile appearing on his calm face .

Of course, Shi Feng wasn’t captivated by Cela’s beauty, but the bountiful wealth that a High Lord ranked Boss represented . Not to mention, Cela was the High Lord of the Flame God’s Cave . If he could kill her, he wondered just how much EXP and high-level items and equipment he could obtain .

If Blackie and the others knew Shi Feng’s current thoughts and appearance, they would definitely curse Shi Feng for being inhuman .  Not sparing even a weak and delicate Lamia, Shi Feng was practically a beast . . .
