Chapter 38
Chapter 38 - Twin Snake Ring
The Hazard Gnome's shameless Rocket Boots shocked everyone .
They had never seen a monster that was so good at escaping before . Its human-like expressions and actions were completely different from NPCs . The Hazard Gnome was like a person pretending to be an NPC .
Two streaks of crimson flame flared, slowly lifting the Hazard Gnome into the air .
Unwillingness filled everyone's hearts . However, they could no longer stop it, but only watch the Hazard Gnome flee with their own eyes . The mages in the party were over 40 yards away from the Hazard Gnome . Lonely Snow as well was over 30 yards apart from it . It was not within the range of Charge . Also, the Faint effect of Charge would become ineffective because the target was floating in midair . Only the Movement Speed increase would take effect .
Currently, only Shi Feng was close to the Hazard Gnome . He was only 15 yards away from it . However, Shi Feng did not have any range attacks . Even if he chased after it, the Hazard Gnome would raise over 20 yards from the ground by the time he arrived . In the end, Shi Feng would only watch the Hazard Gnome escape .
Nine Dragons Slash!
Shi Feng knew he could not catch up . He waved the Abyssal Blade, shrouded in black mist, in his hand . Within an instant, nine streaks of black mist shot towards the Hazard Gnome . Shi Feng was not willing to allow such a smart Hazard Gnome leave .
Initially, Shi Feng only thought of the Hazard Gnome as an average Special Elite . He had never imagined the Gnome to be so much like a player .
Throughout his ten years of playing God's Domain, Shi Feng rarely saw such intelligent Gnomes . The Main God System wouldn't simply bestow a small monster with high intelligence . Such bestowals usually had a deeper meaning behind them . For example, those human Heroes or legendary beings were all great characters . Their existences caused people to shudder .
Although the intelligence of this Hazard Gnome did not reach the level of those Heroes or legendary beings, he was still much smarter than a Boss monster . There might even be unimaginable gains by killing it .
Currently, the Hazard Gnome's displayed information changed . He suddenly became Arcus Maddox .
[Arcus Maddox] (Lord-rank)
Level 5
HP 600/600
Shi Feng felt a sense of familiarity when he saw this name . It seems that he had heard of it before, yet he could not recall anything about it .
However, the Gnome only had 600 HP . Shi Feng was confident he could kill the Gnome with the Nine Dragons Slash .
Just when the nine sword shadows were about to pierce Arcus Maddox, the Gnome took out a few steel balls from his small bag . He threw the balls at the phantoms of the Abyssal Blade .
Brilliant sparks flared up the moment the two attacks came into contact .
Hong… Hong… Hong . . .
A series of explosions forced the phantoms of the Abyssal Blade back . Just when the phantoms were prepared to attack Arcus Maddox once more, he immediately flew over 30 yards away . Meanwhile, the nine phantoms of the Abyssal Blade could only attack targets within 30 yards of its reach .
Shi Feng could only watch helplessly as Arcus Maddox escaped .
"Crap . How could there be such a monster? His escaping ability is just a Bug!" Blackie stared at the fleeing Arcus Maddox as he cursed .
Cola was grinding his teeth in hatred as well, sending a few punches towards a nearby tree .
The other party members felt displeasure also .
Everyone fought long and hard against this Elite monster . However, just when they were about to reap the rewards of their efforts, their prize grew wings and flew away . Was there anything more depressing?
"Brother Feng, let's continue chasing it . " Blackie discovered that the Gnome's Movement Speed was not fast . Also, there should be a limited amount of fuel powering that pair of boots . Who knows; the Gnome might land just after awhile .
"Forget it . Let's continue grinding Gnomes . " Shi Feng shook his head . If they could chase the Gnome, Shi Feng would have long since chased after it . However, the Gnome's Rocket Boots were just too powerful . It was titled as one of God's Domain's godly escape tools . Currently, the boots had just been activated . Its speed would abruptly increase in a moment, and the Gnome would disappear in the blink of an eye . It would be an impossible task if they wished to find the Gnome .
As expected, the flames gushing out from the Rocket Boots greatly increased after a moment . Xiu! Arcus Maddox disappeared from the air, unable to be seen anymore .
"Best not let us meet again . You can dream of escaping the next time . " Blackie said in an unfortunate tone as he looked towards the spot where Arcus Maddox had disappeared .
In his heart, Shi Feng felt that it was a pity to let the Gnome go . However, it would no longer be dangerous when they grinded on Wandering Gnomes from now on . After this experience, the Hazard Gnome most likely would not show himself ever again .
"Let's go, continue grinding on the Wandering Gnomes . " Shi Feng turned around and said to his party .
"Brother Feng, you're still the best! How could I not think of it? If we killed all of this bastard's kinsmen, we'll see if he doesn't show up again . " Blackie laughingly said .
Shi Feng was speechless . He turned around and left, no longer paying any attention to the fantasizing Blackie .
Suddenly, Shi Feng stopped his feet in shock .
"Damn, our luck really is too poor! I never thought that Arcus Maddox would actually appear here, and he was also a Level 5 Hazard Gnome!" Shi Feng tightly clenched his fists, his brows wrinkled . It was the first time he became so enraged .
When everyone looked at Shi Feng's wrathful expression, they could faintly feel the surroundings become chilly . They could not help but retreat a step; their foreheads covered in a cold sweat . Before, they felt Shi Feng was a calm and easygoing person . Never would they have imagined Shi Feng would become so terrifying after becoming angry .
The forest around them no longer seemed lively but more like a frozen hell, silent, cold, and dark .
"Brother Feng…… are you alright?" Blackie carefully asked . He was shocked . Shi Feng was completely different from when he was mad or arguing with others . It was the first time Blackie saw Shi Feng enraged to such a degree .
"Oh, it's nothing . " Shi Feng reacted, replying with a smile . He stored back the dense killing intent into his heart . Such killing intent was slowly honed throughout the years Shi Feng had played God's Domain . Compared to the Tyrant Bear Cola of ten years in the future, there was nothing special about Shi Feng's killing intent . However, at present, it was considered unbearable for Blackie and the others .
Shi Feng finally recalled the name of Arcus Maddox .
Arcus Maddox was a famous Grandmaster Engineer within God's Domain . Three years after Arcus Maddox shocked the nation by creating the sky fortress, 'Twin Snake Ring,' he had gone on to establish the Gnome Empire . With it, the new update 'Emergence of the New World' also activated . At that time, countless Super-Guilds started expeditions towards the fortress, 'Twin Snake Ring . ' However, all of them were annihilated, and Arcus Maddox was the cause of such a result .
On the other hand, Shi Feng was completely unaware of a great character had appeared right before his eyes . He also lost the chance to kill Arcus Maddox, so how could Shi Feng not be enraged?
"Party leader, there's a box here . Did it drop from Arcus Maddox during the explosions?" Gluttonous Mouse, who had been silent all this while, asked as he picked up a small metallic box from the grass .
Shi Feng received the box and took a look at it . He discovered the words Arcus Maddox carved onto the metallic box . Shortly after Shi Feng opened the box, he said suddenly with a laugh, "Great! Good job, Mouse! With this, we didn't fight for nothing after all . "
When the group saw Shi Feng in a happy mood, they knew the item must be very precious, as common items were nothing in Shi Feng's eyes .
As to wanting the item for themselves, none of them ever had such thoughts . They had long since made Shi Feng their idol, and being able to aid their idol naturally made them happy .
"Let's do it this way . You guys stay here to grind and level up . I still have something that needs to be done . Notify me when you have all reached Level 4 . " Shi Feng kept the metallic box and hastily made the arrangements . Nobody could help him with the following matter . Only Shi Feng was able to proceed .
Everyone felt reluctant when they heard Shi Feng's command . However, hearing Shi Feng have plans for them after they reached Level 4, their anticipation grew as they abided Shi Feng's arrangements .
Subsequently, Shi Feng left the deeper regions of the Dark Moon Valley .
The party had Blackie's AOE skill . Killing seven or eight Gnomes at a time was no problem at all, and their leveling speed was at least two or three times faster than the other parties .
On the other hand, what Shi Feng needed to do was to utilize this metallic box, and to forward the first step of his plans in God's Domain .
