Reincarnation Of The Strongest Sword God - Chapter 39

Chapter 39

Chapter 39 - Philosopher's Stone

After leaving the Dark Moon Valley, Shi Feng rushed towards Scarlet Lake . He had also activated Gravity Liberation to save more time .

The players on their way to the Dark Moon Valley saw Shi Feng speeding past them like a gale of win . His speed was shockingly fast, and his figure was just a blur .

"Who is that person? Which Assassin is he? His speed is so fast!"

"No, look at his waist . That's a sword hanging there, not a dagger . He should be a Swordsman . "

"Crap . Are the current Swordsmen that OP? The widely spread rumor on the forums stated that a mysterious Swordsman killed the Mayor of Red Leaf Town . There was also a powerful Swordsman at the Deathly Forest that received an invitation from the Snow Goddess . I would have played as a Swordsman if I had known about this earlier!"

"Say, do you think they're the same person?"

"Definitely not . I saw the Swordsman that killed the Mayor . That male Swordsman was as big as a black bear . His arms alone were thicker than our thighs . He had forcefully killed that Level 15 Mayor . "

The players passing by started a discussion as they watched Shi Feng depart . They were inwardly speechless towards the Swordsman Job . They should have played as Swordsmen if there was such a powerful Job . However, it was too late now . Shi Feng might have laughed it off if he had known their thoughts . There was no strongest Job in God's Domain, only the strongest player .

Shi Feng ran for over two hours through the vast plains . He activated Gravity Liberation over tens of times, escaping the pursuit of high-leveled monsters . He passed through the Level 6 map, Wolfman's Ruins, and the Level 8 map, Oro Fort, before arriving in the Level 10 area, Scarlet Lake .

Scarlet Lake was the playground of Level 10 Water Elementals and Little Fishmen . Watching from a high location, Shi Feng could see groups of Little Fishmen patrolling . The closer it was to the Scarlet Lake, the more there were of Little Fishmen . The central region of the Scarlet Lake was the nest of the Little Fishmen, whereas annoying Water Elementals filled the water of the lake .

Due to the densely packed and large number of monsters in the Scarlet Lake, the Little Fishmen's curse skill was extremely horrendous . It could absorb a player's Attributes and turned it into their own . The longer they fought, the stronger they would become . They were extremely hard to kill . Including the fact that there were no Quests here, there were rarely any players who would willingly come here to level up .

However, Shi Feng had to enter into the deeper regions of the Scarlet Lake .

The metal box dropped by Arcus Maddox was extremely precious . If Arcus Maddox were to know it fell into Shi Feng's hands, he would most likely bleed out in rage . There was a treasure map inside the box, and the treasure it hid was located at Scarlet Lake .  

Shi Feng had played God's Domain for over ten years now . He had done extensive research regarding the history of God's Domain .

He truly did not think Arcus Maddox would have this treasure map . It was the record of a heaven-shaking secret .  

Nine hundred years ago, Alchemy Master Molotov had created an item with all his effort . Wars were waged between the large countries in God's Domain for this item . There were over ten heroic figures that fought over it . However, this item became lost in the end, its whereabouts unknown . It had become an unsolved mystery in God's Domain .

 Meanwhile, the treasure map in Shi Feng's hands, by chance, recorded the location of this item . This item was the Philosopher's Stone .

It was a sacred item for Alchemy . If Alchemists could obtain the Philosopher's Stone, then they would have the ability to transform stone into gold, amassing immense wealth . They would even be able to revive the dead, breaking the alchemy law of equivalent exchange .

Who would have thought such a sacred item would be placed in such an unremarkable location as Scarlet Lake .

However, the Scarlet Lake was still a dangerous place for Shi Feng . After all was said, there was still a gap of 8 Levels between the Shi Feng and the monsters here . With the suppression due to levels, Shi Feng was not an opponent for the Level 10 monsters, not to mention the Attribute-stealing Little Fishmen .

However, Shi Feng could not help but take the risk . The earlier he obtained the Philosopher's Stone; the earlier his heart could be at ease . If he waited until he was Level 7 or 8, someone else might claim the item . He wouldn't even be able to feel regret when that time came .

Shi Feng took out the metal box from his bag, carefully taking out the treasure map within it . He started researching it in detail .

The marking on the treasure map was very clear . The treasure was located directly below the Little Fishmen's nest . However, how would Shi Feng be able to circle around all these Little Fishmen? The problem with the Water Elementals also needed to be solved . Although Water Elementals had low HP, they had a 60% immunity to physical attacks . They also had a Movement Speed reduction skill, so they were a headache for melee players .

After observing for half an hour, Shi Feng discovered that the Little Fishmen were not always on patrol . They would eventually take a break . Also, these Little Fishmen were only active by the lake's shores . They hardly ever entered the water, because once they entered it, their Movement Speed would sharply reduce by 60% . Shi Feng could use this short rest period to rush into the lake, and once he was in it, the Little Fishmen would not be able to chase after him .

As for the Water Elementals under the water, Shi Feng could use the doppelganger of Phantom Kill to lure them away . Then, he could swim to the cavern below the Little Fishmen's nest .

If Shi Feng did not operate through his plan properly, he would definitely die . If he died, his losses would not be minor . It was not the experience loss that was a problem, however . With his advantage as a reincarnated person, Shi Feng could quickly recuperate the experience he lost . Only, he would be sent back to the town after dying once, and the time he would waste by returning here was just too much .

"Ten more seconds . " Shi Feng watched the patrolling Little Fishmen, his heart estimating the time for him to sprint out .

Time passed second after second . A group of patrolling Fishmen watched their surroundings . After discovering nothing out of the ordinary, they entered a small wooden hut by the lake to rest, emptying the land by the lake .

With all his might, Shi Feng dashed towards the shore .

When Shi Feng was about 30 yards away from the lake, another group of patrolling Fishmen discovered Shi Feng . They immediately sounded out an alarm, their hands wielding short swords as they rushed toward Shi Feng .

When faced with four Level 10 Little Fishman, as powerful as Shi Feng was, he was not their match . Shi Feng's only hope was to jump into the water .

However, the Little Fishmen were very quick, taking only a short moment to catch up to Shi Feng . They waved their short swords, slashing them at Shi Feng's back .

Shi Feng knew he could not outrun the Fishmen . He turned around and used Abyssal Bind on one of them, then continued by using Parry to block another one of his attackers . As a result, the Shi Feng stopped the other Little Fishmen from moving forward .

Using the power behind the Fishman's attack, Shi Feng managed to pull away a distance of over three yards . He activated Gravity Liberation and then jumped onto the lake .

However, the other Little Fishmen were quick to catch up, jumping into the lake after Shi Feng as well .

Plop .

Four Little Fishmen fell into the water . Shi Feng however, was madly running above the lake's surface .

[Walking On Water] was a skill that could only be activated after Agility reached 80 points . However, Shi Feng had the Ring Of Gravity . As a result, his body had reached a state of near-weightlessness after activating Gravity Liberation . Including his Agility that was over 30 points, he, too, could move on the water's surface . His speed would not be reduced by the water .

In a few moments, Shi Feng had shaken off the unyielding Little Fishmen . He ran to a location not far from the Little Fishmen's nest, diving into the water .

Just after entering the water, Shi Feng discovered a cavern that was surrounded by a lot of Water Elementals . The Water Elementals were encircling around the cavern as if they were protecting something .

[Water Elemental] (Common monster)

Level 10

HP 750/750

Shi Feng used Phantom Kill . His doppelganger swam over, luring the Water Elementals .

Just as Shi Feng planned, a group of Water Elementals had discovered the doppelganger . One after another, they chased after the doppelganger . Meanwhile, the doppelganger swam upwards . Although the Water Elementals had high Movement Speed under water, it was an entirely different story when they were above ground . They were the opposite of the Little Fishmen, becoming extremely slow once they reached the shore .

With the Water Elementals lured away by his doppelganger, Shi Feng took the chance to quickly swim towards the cavern .

Before Shi Feng even reached the cavern, the system notified him of the death of his doppelganger . The doppelganger had only earned Shi Feng over 20 seconds .

After killing the doppelganger, the Water Elementals discovered an intruder near the cavern . They all hurriedly swam back to the cavern entrance .

After discovering Shi Feng, the speed of these Water Elementals increased by a fold as they sped towards Shi Feng .
