Chapter 25

When Shifeng said these words, the others could not understand.

Isn't it just a roar? What's so noteworthy about it?

Seeing the contemptuous expressions on everyone's faces, Shifeng couldn't help but become serious and said, "Listen up, Hell Roar isn't as simple as you think. Follow my instructions later. If anyone messes up, don't blame me for kicking them out of the team."

After being scolded by Shifeng, everyone became serious, as no one wanted to leave the team.

"In a while, Kekela and I will go in front. Jimo Ruxue, you protect the Oracle in the middle. Heizi, you and the Summoner will be at the back. Remember, no matter what happens, do not break the formation. Without my order, no one is to attack first. Got it?" Shifeng explained the basic formation.

The reason Shifeng let the Guardian Knight Kekela go in front was because Kekela had all his free attributes added to stamina, reaching 310 HP, which would allow him to hold out longer and reduce some of Shifeng's pressure.

The Dead Silence Forest's dungeon was unlike other virtual game dungeons, with extremely high freedom and a vast area. Some player teams wandered for hours inside the dungeon without even finding a single boss. Although the Dead Silence Forest wasn't that large, it was still easy to get lost in the dark forest.

If they got lost, Shifeng would only say "haha."

The terrifying aspect of the Dead Silence Forest was that players would get lost in the forest after entering, eventually dying mysteriously one by one. In the previous life, countless players entered, only to die repeatedly without even seeing a monster. If they were lucky enough to encounter a small monster, the result was a full team wipe. It wasn't until many guild experts fell that everyone realized the Dead Silence Forest's terror, acknowledging it as a terrifying dungeon that couldn't be cleared below level 5.

When the Shadow Guild reached level 5, they organized over a hundred players to explore the forest in batches, finally mapping out the Dead Silence Forest, at the cost of hundreds of lives.

The entire Dead Silence Forest had thirty-six paths, but only three led to the first boss, Vilm. These three paths were paved with the lives of many players. Two of these paths were very dangerous, and without sufficient strength, one would die. Only one path had fewer small monsters.

Under Shifeng's lead, the group entered the forest. Once inside, they found that there were too many small paths, and they didn't know which one to take. However, Shifeng didn't hesitate and chose one path, with the others closely following, being cautious of their surroundings.

After about five minutes, they encountered the first monster, and everyone immediately became tense.

"Don't be impulsive, follow my commands," Shifeng shouted loudly.

It was just a level 2 Elite Night Rabbit, but due to the dungeon's enhancement, its attack, defense, and HP were significantly increased, reaching 700 HP.

"Kekela, go and lure it over. Oracle, focus on healing. Everyone else, don't attack until I give the order," Shifeng quickly instructed.

Kekela swallowed hard and carefully approached the Night Rabbit's attack range, while the others were extremely tense. Although it was just a level 2 Elite, this was a hell-level dungeon.

However, everyone's tension was unnecessary. The Night Rabbit, which was as tall as a person, directly charged at Kekela.

Kekela successfully lured the Night Rabbit over without panicking, retreating while using his shield to block the Night Rabbit's attacks. Although each attack hit the shield, the damage was terrifying, dealing 42 points of damage each time. By the time Kekela returned to the team, his HP had already dropped by a third.

The Oracle named Sleepy Sloth had good awareness and immediately cast a healing spell once in range, but each heal only added 24 HP, which couldn't keep up with the decreasing HP.

"Brother Feng, aren't you going to attack yet?" Heizi was getting anxious, as Kekela's HP was now below a third.

Taking an Oracle into the dungeon was a mistake. Among healing classes, the Oracle had the weakest healing ability. However, since Shifeng chose the Oracle, he had to accept it. But now, with the main tank almost dead, not attacking was unreasonable.

"Wait," Shifeng firmly said.

Time passed, and Kekela kept using his shield to block the Night Rabbit's claw attacks, his HP dropping further and further, down to the last 20%. But Shifeng still didn't order an attack.

Just as everyone thought Shifeng was going to abandon Kekela, an arrow shot out from the forest, aiming at the Oracle Sleepy Sloth. Jimo Ruxue didn't react in time, and Sleepy Sloth was hit in the chest, taking 123 points of damage.

At this moment, Shifeng shouted, "Sleepy Sloth, use Life Payment to transfer the damage to Kekela. Heizi, keep the Night Rabbit busy so Kekela can recover. Jimo, follow me. Everyone else, attack the Night Rabbit."

The Oracle indeed had the weakest healing ability, but they had thick HP and were hard to one-shot. They also had two skills from the start: Life Prayer and Life Payment. Life Payment allowed the caster to transfer the damage they received to heal others. For early-game healers with few skills and no equipment, the Oracle had a significant advantage in the Dead Silence Forest, which is why Shifeng chose the Oracle over a Priest.

After saying this, Shifeng rushed into the forest.

"Do you think I'll let you run away?" Shifeng said with a cold smile, looking at the shadow running in the forest.

Wind Chaser Sword!

Shifeng transformed into a blur, chasing after the shadow.

The reason he didn't let the group attack the Night Rabbit was to use Kekela as bait to lure out the hidden enemy.

These Night Rabbits seemed terrifying, but for an elite team, facing two or three wasn't a problem. However, in the previous life, even a level 5 elite team would be wiped out because of the shadow. The shadow used the Night Rabbits as bait to lure players into attacking, then ambushed the healer from behind. Since the players were preoccupied with the Night Rabbits, they couldn't save the healer, leading to a full team wipe.

If this guy wasn't dealt with in the Dead Silence Forest, the entire team would be wiped out.

With the speed boost from Wind Chaser Sword, Shifeng quickly caught up to the shadow, blocking its path with three sword strikes.

The shadow, knowing it couldn't escape, turned around and drew two daggers to block Shifeng's attacks.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Shifeng, with the power of Abyssal Blade, forced the shadow to retreat three steps, each step causing over ten points of damage. Finally, the shadow's figure was revealed in the moonlight.

Dark Night Ranger, Level 2, Special Elite, HP 1458/1500.

Seeing the Dark Night Ranger retreat, Shifeng didn't give it a chance and immediately used Abyssal Bind, nine black iron chains emerging to bind the Dark Night Ranger, immobilizing it for three seconds and reducing its defense by 100%.

Wind and Thunder Flash!

Slash!

Two moves down, shocking damage numbers appeared: -81, -98, -119, -124, instantly taking away a quarter of the Dark Night Ranger's HP.

Bound by the nine chains, no matter what the Dark Night Ranger could do, it couldn't break free and had to endure the beating for three seconds.

Shifeng was relentless, striking the Dark Night Ranger's chest with one sword after another, until it broke free from the chains with less than 700 HP left.

"Damn human," the Dark Night Ranger roared, swinging its daggers like a whirlwind, sweeping towards Shifeng.

At this moment, Jimo Ruxue arrived, charging and stunning the Dark Night Ranger, breaking its Wind Blade attack.

Shifeng took the opportunity to use Slash, cutting the Dark Night Ranger's neck.

Jimo Ruxue also swung his large axe.

The Dark Night Ranger, finally waking up, was already critically low on HP. It swung its daggers, knocking Jimo Ruxue away and dealing 64 points of damage, then turned to Shifeng, swinging its daggers again, aiming for his neck.

Clang! Shifeng blocked with his sword, not giving the Dark Night Ranger a chance to counter, pushing it back and following up with several more strikes, finally finishing it off.

Shifeng casually picked up the two items that dropped and immediately ran to support Kekela.

Seeing Shifeng's agile movements, Jimo Ruxue, lying on the side, was stunned, even forgetting to go and support. His mind was filled with shock.

Can monsters be killed like this?
