Chapter 36

After leaving the Dead Silence Forest, Shi Feng's team rushed to the Dark Moon Valley without stopping.

At this stage, many players had already reached level 2. Apart from going to the Dead Silence Forest for the dungeon, they were either killing level 2 cheetah cubs in the Brook Hills or, in the case of a few elite players, leveling up in the level 4 Dark Moon Valley. However, as players' levels increased, it wouldn't be long before the Dark Moon Valley was occupied.

After more than half an hour, they returned to the Dark Moon Valley, and indeed, as Shi Feng had guessed.

Some elite teams who were not interested in dungeons were grinding level 4 goblin men on the outskirts of the valley. These elite teams were quite skilled, pulling two or three at a time. The shield warriors held the front line firmly, preventing the goblin men from getting close to the casters and healers. The healers kept the shield warriors' health bars stable from the back, while the others went all out in their attacks. After one wave, the shield warriors were left with very little health, and the healers' mana was depleted by more than a third, forcing them to sit down and rest.

Although grinding monsters this way was quite draining, the rewards were also good. Three goblin men dropped 2 copper coins and some stones.

In the Divine Realm, only monsters level 3 and above dropped skill books and bronze equipment, though the probability was only one in ten thousand. However, this still attracted many players. Bronze equipment was very valuable, not to mention skill books. With these incentives, even if it was dangerous, many experts would still come.

After watching for a while, Shi Feng turned and walked deeper into the Dark Moon Valley.

The other team members were still very nervous about the unknown Dark Moon Valley, especially when they saw the vast expanse of level 4 monsters, making their breathing quicken. However, Heizi was very calm when he saw these level 4 goblin men, having killed hundreds of them before, unlike the other team members who were nervous on their first encounter. He followed Shi Feng into the depths of the valley without hesitation.

The elite teams grinding goblin men were all surprised when they saw Shi Feng's team heading deeper into the valley, not expecting the new team to be so bold.

The Dark Moon Valley currently had very few players and had not been fully developed. The goblin men in the valley were extremely numerous, and the deeper they went, the more goblin men there were. Sometimes, more than ten goblin men would gather in one spot, making grinding monsters there very dangerous. Each time, they would have to face at least four or five goblin men. If they died once, it would be a huge loss.

Unfortunately, these people didn't know that Shi Feng was even more daring than they imagined.

Shi Feng didn't just go deeper into the valley; he went to the core of the Dark Moon Valley, where there was an excellent grinding spot. Not only were the numbers of monsters high, but the respawn time was fast, and most importantly, the ore yield was high.

In terms of knowledge about the Dark Moon Valley, Shi Feng could be considered the valley's guardian deity. He knew what monsters were in which areas, how many there were, and how long it took for them to respawn. In his previous life, Shi Feng spent a lot of time studying this, aiming to ensure the team's grinding speed and to improve his status in the Shadow Team.

Life was really interesting. Shi Feng's actions in his previous life to help the Shadow Team now benefited his current self, allowing him to quickly level up the team he had formed and ensure a high ore yield.

Following the rocky path, they would occasionally encounter four or five level 4 goblin men, but with Shi Feng's team's equipment, it was no big deal.

Guardian Knight Kola could easily tank four goblin men, and the healer Sleepy Sloth didn't have to work hard to keep Kola's health above 80%. If any monsters slipped through, Lonely Snow would take them on. The others would go all out in their attacks, with Shi Feng dealing over a hundred damage with a single strike, and Heizi's Shadow Arrow dealing 88 points of damage. It was incredibly easy.

In no time, the five goblin men were all taken care of, far surpassing the elite teams outside.

Shi Feng casually picked up the dropped stones and ores and continued deeper into the Dark Moon Valley.

After more than an hour, Shi Feng's team finally arrived at a hundred-meter-high mountain. The area around the mountain was full of wandering goblins, no longer goblin men. These wandering goblins held small shovels, constantly digging into the mountain's rock walls, while several goblin overseers with whips patrolled around the mountain.

"Bro Feng, there are too many monsters here. Are we really going to grind here?"

Heizi looked around, his heart trembling. He found that the vast mountain area had at least hundreds of wandering goblins, and there were a few level 5 goblin overseers. Compared to the dozen or so goblin men outside, this place was like a battlefield.

Kola also swallowed hard, worried, "Captain, I can only tank six or seven at most. There are so many, I can't handle it."

Not just Heizi and Kola, the others were also very worried. The entire mountain was full of wandering goblins, and these goblins were very close together. If they accidentally pulled the wrong ones, they would face hundreds of level 4 monsters, which was far more terrifying than the lord-level Ferrot.

"I know you can't handle it, but who said you have to tank hundreds of goblins?" Shi Feng rolled his eyes at everyone. He knew the team's capabilities well; handling ten at a time was their limit. How could they possibly handle hundreds?

Even a level 10 player would be finished if hundreds of level 4 monsters came at them.

However, as the saying goes, if you can't beat them, can't you run?

Shi Feng's agility was over 30 points, and with his bronze-level shoes, his movement speed was much faster than the level 4 goblins. He could kite the goblins and let Heizi use the Hell Flame AoE skill, which would be several times more efficient than grinding alone.

Shi Feng then explained his plan to everyone, telling Heizi to time his Hell Flame to maximize its effect, while the others would focus on attacking the goblins with low health.

After selecting a good position, Shi Feng grabbed a handful of stones and rushed towards a nearby goblin overseer.

As soon as he got within 20 yards, the goblin overseer started shouting, drawing the attention of many wandering goblins. Shi Feng waited a moment, dodging the overseer's whip, allowing the surrounding goblins to gather.

When about 30 goblins had gathered, Shi Feng turned and ran to another spot, then threw a small stone, hitting another goblin overseer. The overseer also roared, leading over twenty goblins to charge at Shi Feng.

After pulling nearly sixty monsters, Shi Feng still wasn't satisfied and started circling the mountain to pull more. In less than five minutes, hundreds of wandering goblins and over a dozen goblin overseers were chasing Shi Feng in a massive group.

Unfortunately, Shi Feng's equipment was too good, and his speed was at least 30% faster than the goblins. With his superior skills and control, he could play with the goblins as he pleased.

"Blackie, get ready to cast," Shi Feng reminded Heizi, who was far away.

"Got it!" Heizi was also very excited. This was his first time using an AoE spell, and he didn't know how it would turn out.

As Heizi's fingers moved in the air, bright magic runes appeared, forming a dazzling magic array with an overwhelming aura.

When Heizi finished the last syllable, the ground shook, and emerald flames shot up, engulfing the entire goblin army. Damage numbers over a hundred appeared, and in five seconds, the hundreds of goblins all lost over two hundred health, leaving their health bars less than half full.

However, the goblins' target changed from Shi Feng to Heizi.

Suddenly, Shi Feng stopped, drew his Abyssal Blade, and charged forward.

Wind Lightning!

The level 4 Wind Lightning had a shorter cooldown and an attack range of 15*3 yards, almost covering the entire goblin army.

Three bolts of lightning shot through the goblin army, dealing over 120 points of damage each, consuming the last of the goblins' health. The remaining goblins were quickly pulled by Kola, and Lonely Snow rushed forward with a Whirlwind Slash, finishing them off.

Hundreds of goblins died, dropping a pile of items.

Everyone's experience points increased rapidly, with dozens of points appearing, dazzling their eyes.

With a whoosh, Heizi leveled up to level 3.

"Too cool!" Heizi shouted excitedly.

"This is just the beginning. They will respawn soon," Shi Feng smiled. "Let's quickly pick up the drops."

Everyone immediately got to work, and even with six people, it took a while to pick up the drops from hundreds of goblins.

However, just as they started picking up the drops, a goblin suddenly appeared, driving a huge robot. The goblin's face was red with anger, and he charged directly at Shi Feng's team.

"Watch out, it's a Risk Goblin! Everyone scatter!" Shi Feng shouted as soon as he saw the huge robot.
