Chapter 65

Shifeng put away the Silver Moon Helmet and continued deeper into the stone forest, searching for more Mountain Beast Warriors.

Previously, Shifeng was so preoccupied with the Moonstone and the horrors of the Moonlight Grove that he completely forgot that the current Moonlight Grove was an undeveloped map, rich with treasures. However, when he came in the previous life, it had already been ravaged by the top and second-tier guilds, leaving only scraps, and he still had to compete with many guilds.

But even the leftovers were out of reach for ordinary players. By the time ordinary players arrived, it had already been ravaged many times, yet they still considered it a treasure land, which shows how tempting the original Moonlight Grove was.

Now that he had arrived here first, it was his turn to explore every corner and thoroughly loot it, letting the top and second-tier guilds taste the leftovers.

Two hours later, Shifeng had killed many Mountain Beast Warriors, collecting 3 Moonstones and a considerable amount of money and materials, and finally reached the core of the stone forest.

Shifeng accidentally discovered a Mountain Beast Warrior camp, surrounded by Mountain Beast Warriors. A rough count showed there were over forty, and not far from the camp, there were several groups of patrolling Mountain Beast Warriors, totaling over a hundred.

The Mountain Beast Warrior camp was a place where they hid treasures. Many guilds would send elite teams to frequently clear out various monster camps in the Moonlight Grove, and each time they would get good rewards.

However, the Mountain Beast Warrior camp in front of him had never been cleared, and it definitely contained a large treasure. It might even allow him to collect all the Moonstones and obtain many first-tier gemmed equipment.

However, each camp was not easy to deal with. If there were no large rocks, Shifeng would have bypassed it without a second glance. But the rocks here were more densely packed, with paths wide enough for only two Mountain Beast Warriors, and narrower spots for just one, making it an excellent place to farm Mountain Beast Warriors. It would be a waste to give up.

So, Shifeng picked up a few small stones from the ground and quietly approached.

To avoid uncertain factors, Shifeng decided to lure them all at once. Otherwise, if he kite them halfway and encountered a group of Mountain Beast Warriors, he would be in serious trouble.

The key to luring these Mountain Beast Warriors was to deal with their charge. If not handled properly, he would be endlessly charged to death, which was the most frustrating thing. He had encountered it before, where despite being much stronger, he was stunned to death by the continuous charges of the monsters.

Although Mountain Beast Warriors only charge once, with over a hundred of them, it would be over a hundred charges. He needed to make them charge at the same time, which was extremely difficult.

With his current health, he couldn't withstand two hits from a Mountain Beast Warrior, so he couldn't afford to make any mistakes. He needed to make all the Mountain Beast Warriors charge him simultaneously and then avoid the subsequent damage to have a chance to kill them.

To make several waves of Mountain Beast Warriors charge at the same time, he needed to time the attacks perfectly. Otherwise, he would be mobbed instead of farming the monsters. However, Shifeng was confident, as he was once a Sword King and a top player.

The Mountain Beast Warriors guarding the camp stroked their beloved large knives with their furry hands, standing on the high walls, their blood-red eyes constantly scanning the surroundings. As soon as they spotted an intruder, they would charge and let their large knives feast.

Suddenly, a stone flew and hit a Mountain Beast Warrior on the head. The Mountain Beast Warrior turned to see a human not far away, holding a stone and touching the spot where he was hit. Instantly, he was filled with rage, thinking a mere ant dared to throw a stone at him.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

With the Mountain Beast Warrior's roar, the entire camp was alerted, and the Mountain Beast Warriors rushed out to attack Shifeng.

At the same time, Shifeng threw stones at the other groups of Mountain Beast Warriors, quickly angering them and making them charge at him.

Seeing over a hundred Mountain Beast Warriors running towards him, Shifeng remained calm. He used the Phantom Kill skill, making his clone run into the stone forest while he faced the Mountain Beast Warriors.

Facing over a hundred Mountain Beast Warriors at once, even a twenty-person elite team would struggle, let alone Shifeng alone.

As more and more Mountain Beast Warriors approached, Shifeng's heart raced. This move was very risky; any mistake would mean death. The long-lost thrill made his blood boil, and his senses became sharper.

When the majority of the Mountain Beast Warriors were within thirty yards, most of them were in range to charge.

A roar echoed, and most of the Mountain Beast Warriors charged simultaneously, with a few being slightly slower.

Shifeng immediately activated the Sword Return skill, which could resist three close-range attacks, and gripped the Abyssal Blade, ready to parry.

When the first wave of charges hit, Shifeng was sent flying despite using the parry. The second wave of charges followed, stunning him and leaving him unable to move.

Seeing several Mountain Beast Warriors raise their large knives to strike, Shifeng held on and did not use any skills.

As the large knives came down, Shifeng still did not use the skill swap. The three close-range damage immunities from Sword Return disappeared one by one.

When the large knives really hit Shifeng, his health dropped by more than half. Just one more hit would finish him.

At this moment, the third wave of charges arrived, stunning Shifeng again, and the second hit was about to land.

"Swap!" Shifeng shouted in his mind.

In an instant, Shifeng and his clone in the stone forest swapped places. The clone was hit and the last wave of charges followed, killing the clone.

Hiding in the stone forest, Shifeng immediately took a初级恢复药剂 (初级恢复药剂 translates to "初级" meaning "初级" and "恢复药剂" meaning "恢复药剂"), which tasted sour and sweet, and his health recovered by 180 points, allowing him to barely withstand another hit.

With the clone dead, the Mountain Beast Warriors' aggro shifted to Shifeng in the stone forest, and they rushed towards him.

In the stone forest, Shifeng was in his element. He activated a speed scroll and faced the frenzied Mountain Beast Warriors, who were crowded on the narrow paths. A Wind Lightning Flash skill sent three bolts of lightning, instantly reducing their health by over a hundred points.

In less than ten minutes, all the Mountain Beast Warriors he had lured were dead.

At the same time, Shifeng's experience points, which were just a bit short of level 4, were now full, and he finally reached level 4, catching up with the second-tier players.

Shifeng allocated all 6 attribute points to strength, prioritizing damage. He then cleared the loot, finding another pair of Silver Moon Leggings, 7 Moonstones, two first-tier gems, and numerous materials and common equipment, a very good haul.

However, the most valuable treasure was not just these. The key was the warehouse inside the camp, as Mountain Beast Warriors loved to store their collected treasures there.

After clearing the loot, Shifeng quickly ran into the camp to see what treasures were in the warehouse.

"Sure enough, there are many treasures." Shifeng could already see several large treasure chests in the warehouse, one of which was a dark black Mysterious Iron-level chest.

Excited, Shifeng was about to enter the warehouse to check the contents of the chests when he heard a roar.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

A Mountain Beast Warrior, three times larger than the others, charged out of the warehouse, wielding a giant axe and staring at Shifeng with blood-red eyes.
