Chapter 13

In the smoke, the goblin's head was hit, and a 21-point damage appeared above the goblin's head.

Suddenly attacked for no reason, the goblin was very angry. It looked around with bloodshot eyes, like a searchlight. This action made the other goblins also look over, becoming somewhat alert.

At this moment, Heizi's heart was beating faster and faster, extremely nervous.

The goblin looked to be level 2, but the attributes of these goblins were 100% level 4. Drinking black iron beer only increased the character's courage, making the character see all enemies as two levels lower, but it did not reduce the goblins' attributes.

If these goblins rushed over, it would be a certain death.

However, Heizi's worry was completely unnecessary.

The goblin that was hit looked around but did not find any enemies. It just whined a few times and returned to its original state. The other goblins no longer paid attention to this crazy partner and continued to wander.

"Attack with confidence. As long as you maintain a 30-yard distance, they won't attack us," Shifeng patted Heizi's shoulder confidently.

He had planned all of this long ago; otherwise, he wouldn't have spent so much money on items.

Encouraged by Shifeng, Heizi became bolder, constantly chanting spells and firing shadow arrows.

The goblin with only 420 HP couldn't withstand Heizi's barrage. After more than twenty shadow arrows, it was killed, and the other goblins didn't comment at all.

Seeing the first goblin fall, Heizi became excited.

This was killing monsters four levels higher. Although it was a two-person team and the experience was divided, the experience gained was still very substantial, increasing by 5% at once.

In other words, killing 20 goblins would level up, and it was safe and injury-free. The monsters were endless, and the leveling speed was terrifying. This would be very efficient even up to level 6. Heizi now understood why Shifeng was so confident. The few hours spent here were well worth it.

In no time, the more than twenty goblins in front of the mine were cleared.

Heizi also leveled up to level 1, equipped the black wood staff, and added all free attributes to intelligence, significantly increasing his damage, dealing 45 points of damage to the goblins in one hit.

The more than twenty goblins dropped 12 copper coins, a level 3 ordinary cloth armor, and 5 pieces of starfall ore, which was quite lucky.

As far as Shifeng knew, the drop rate of starfall ore from goblins was not high. Only one out of ten would drop, and it would take about 1000 goblins to get 100 pieces. Now, more than twenty goblins dropped 5 pieces of starfall ore and ordinary equipment, and Heizi's luck was really good.

After collecting all the drops, Shifeng continuously lured more goblins. With his 16 agility, Shifeng was faster than the goblins. He lured more than thirty goblins, maintaining a distance of 20 to 25 yards. Once all the goblins were lured into the smoke, he suddenly accelerated, breaking the 25-yard distance, making the goblins lose their target and stand there in a daze.

Heizi, 30 yards away, took the opportunity to attack.

In less than 10 minutes, more than thirty goblins were cleared, dropping 21 copper coins and 6 pieces of starfall ore. Shifeng and Heizi's experience also increased significantly.

Shifeng continued to lure goblins, and Heizi kept attacking. Although it was mechanical and boring, Heizi didn't find it tedious at all. Instead, he became more and more enthusiastic, wishing to kill all day without rest.

After an hour, Heizi's level increased to 2, and his shadow arrow skill reached level 3, increasing his damage from 40 to 60. He was extremely pleased with the rocket-like leveling speed, which motivated him to reach level 3.

The significant increase in damage made killing goblins much more efficient. However, the improvement in shadow arrow also increased mana consumption. Fortunately, with the mana potions Shifeng bought, Heizi could replenish his mana before each wave, allowing for continuous attacks.

Shifeng observed Heizi's condition while luring an appropriate number of goblins. Besides, he picked up the drops, and the copper coins and starfall ore steadily increased.

After another hour, thanks to Heizi's efforts, they harvested 73 pieces of starfall ore, six ordinary pieces of equipment, and 264 copper coins. Just one more hour of grinding would be enough to gather the starfall ore.

At this moment, the system issued a notification.

System: Player Jimo Ruxue has mailed you 10 copper.

Then he received a communication request, which was from Jimo Ruxue.

"Who are you?" Shifeng had just finished luring a wave of goblins and had nothing to do, so he accepted the call.

"Hello, big brother expert, I am Jimo Ruxue. We met at the town hall, and you even guided me to kill monsters in the wild. That place is so good, no one competes for monsters, and I can handle it well. I'm already level 2 and have obtained a lot of materials and copper coins. I have already mailed you 10 copper. I wonder if you have received it." Jimo Ruxue was very excited. He was previously worried that this expert wouldn't want to deal with him anymore, as experts are often proud and wouldn't even look at small characters. The land he bought made him earn 60 copper, and his level increased to 2, surpassing many other players. Spending 20 copper was a great deal.

"Ah, it's you. I have received the 10 copper." Reminded, Shifeng remembered the incident. At that time, he casually guided him to kill the mayor earlier, and he didn't care about the 10 copper.

"Big brother expert, the level 2 dungeon Silent Forest is now open. I would like to invite you to join the dungeon. My few friends are all experienced and already level 2, and they won't hold us back. Of course, all the swordsman equipment and skill books in the dungeon are yours. Do you have time?" Jimo Ruxue was a bit nervous. Experts generally disdain bringing newbies, so he specifically mentioned that the team members were all level 2 veterans, fearing that Shifeng would refuse outright.

Silent Forest?

Shifeng had a deep impression of this dungeon. Once a certain number of players in Red Leaf Town reached level 2, the first level 2 dungeon, Silent Forest, would open.

The opening of Silent Forest made all players realize how difficult the dungeons in God's Domain were. It wasn't until many players reached levels 4 or 5 that Silent Forest was cleared.

The main function of Silent Forest was to increase players' skill count. Most of the monsters dropped basic skill books for various classes, and the most valuable item was the forging blueprint, which only the final boss, the werewolf Ferrot, dropped, but with a very low drop rate.

Shifeng was very interested in this forging blueprint. If he learned it, it would significantly advance his plans.

"Sure, but I have a condition. I will bring a sorcerer, and all the swordsman and sorcerer equipment and skill books will be mine. Also, all the materials and blueprints dropped by the boss will be mine. If you agree, I can go." Shifeng casually took most of the benefits, not feeling anything was wrong.

"Um..." Jimo Ruxue was sweating all over. The appearance fee of experts was high, but considering the strength of the beta testers, he gritted his teeth and agreed, "Alright, I agree. I will tell them. When will you be available, big brother expert?"

"In about two hours, let's meet at the dungeon entrance." Shifeng estimated Heizi's killing speed and thought he could get 100 pieces of starfall ore in another hour.

"Alright, I'll go prepare. See you at the dungeon entrance, big brother expert." Jimo Ruxue hung up, feeling relieved.

At this moment, Jimo Ruxue was standing with three other people, all level 2.

"What did the expert you mentioned say?" A handsome male ranger asked.

Jimo Ruxue repeated what he had said to the others.

"What kind of expert? He's just here to take our equipment and profit. Why should we group with him? We can find two level 2 output players and go to the dungeon just as well." A shield warrior was furious and started cursing.

A male priest beside him also frowned, "So his meaning is that all the magic equipment will go to his friend."

Jimo Ruxue tried to persuade them, "That person is really an expert and a beta tester. He must know the dungeon well. He might help us clear it. Don't you want to clear Silent Forest?"

"So what if he's a beta tester? He just experienced God's Domain for a month and has a general understanding. Even if he knows a lot about Silent Forest, the data and information have changed in the official version. How much of it is still useful?" The shield warrior was dismissive, thinking that the beta testers were just lucky and might not be as skilled as them.

"Let's wait and see. If it doesn't work out, there will be many level 2 players by then, and we can find others easily." The lead ranger spoke.

Hearing the ranger's words, the others nodded in agreement.

At this moment, a light flashed in Dark Moon Valley.

Shifeng finally reached level 3. Unfortunately, the level ranking hadn't opened yet; otherwise, he would definitely be the top-ranked player in Red Leaf Town.

"Finally level 3." Shifeng eagerly added 4 points to agility, instantly reaching 20 agility.

System: Player's agility reaches 20 points, unlocking the hidden agility skill, Agile and Swift, granting superior physical abilities and fully unlocking body freedom.

Shifeng immediately felt a surge of strength, and his body became incredibly agile. His senses also greatly improved, allowing him to better utilize his body's potential.

Besides Shifeng reaching level 3, Heizi had previously killed a batch of goblins, and one of them dropped a level 1 bronze equipment, War Boots.

Shifeng couldn't help but admire Heizi's luck. Level 1 to 3 ordinary wild monsters wouldn't drop bronze equipment, and the drop rate of bronze equipment from level 4 monsters was less than one in ten thousand. Heizi managed to get one, which was incredibly lucky.

"Brother Feng, what are the stats? Let me see too!" Heizi was excited.

"These War Boots have very good stats." Shifeng showed the stats.

New Recruit War Boots, Plate Armor, Bronze Level, Equipment Requirement: 6 Strength, Equipment Level: 1, Defense +8, Strength +1, Stamina +1, Movement Speed +1, Durability 20/20.

"Great, with this equipment, Brother Feng, your speed will be even faster." Heizi was happy. Previously, only he had bronze equipment, which made him feel uncomfortable. Now that Shifeng also had it, he felt much better. "Brother Feng, how many more pieces of starfall ore do we need?"

"Not many, just 4 more. One more wave, and we'll be done." Shifeng checked his backpack and realized he already had 96 pieces of starfall ore. If others were grinding, it would probably take five to six hours, but with Heizi, killing a few hundred goblins was enough.

Just as Shifeng was about to go lure more goblins, his sharp senses detected three blurry figures approaching behind Heizi.

"Heizi, quickly get out of the way!"

Shifeng shouted, immediately drawing his beginner's sword and rushing over at lightning speed.

Heizi was still unaware, too busy being happy to notice anything approaching.

"Too late to realize, he's the first one."

The three figures suddenly appeared, three assassin players, one of whom was the previously killed Yolang. A magic user being attacked by three assassins was a sure death, no doubt, even if Heizi was one level higher.
