Chapter 81

After Shi Feng finished reading the new system prompt, he was taken aback.

It turned out that his favorability with Mayor Blackbeard had increased to 1000 points, reaching the level of reverence.

System: Congratulations to the player for being the first to achieve the NPC favorability reverence achievement. Reward: One Black Iron-grade treasure chest.

"Luck really can't be stopped when it comes. I wonder what will come out of it." Shi Feng couldn't wait to open the exquisite Black Iron-grade treasure chest.

Inside the treasure chest were a piece of equipment and an accessory.

Cloak of the Shadow Chaser, Mithril-grade, Equipment Requirement: 70 Agility, Defense +20, Strength +4, Agility +8, Stamina +4, Movement +2, Evasion +6, Attached Ability: Silent Step, allows the user to silently move behind the target, maximum distance 40 yards, cooldown 3 minutes.

Pendant of the Interpreter, Black Iron-grade, Equipment Requirement: 30 Intelligence, Equipment Level 7, Intelligence +6, Stamina +2, Magic Damage +5%.

These two pieces of equipment were very rare at the moment, especially the Cloak of the Shadow Chaser, which was very suitable for weapon-based classes. Just by wearing it, one's strength could be significantly enhanced. The Silent Step skill was like a mage's teleport or an assassin's Shadow Step, making it a perfect piece of equipment for PvP.

The Pendant of the Interpreter was an excellent accessory. Just the 5% increase in magic damage would allow magic-based classes to wear it until level 20 without feeling that the equipment was outdated.

"I'll give this accessory to Heizi." Shi Feng thought for a moment. Only Heizi was the most reliable and also a magic-based class. As for the cloak, he couldn't wear it now, as the 70 Agility requirement was too high. He would have to wait until at least level 10 to wear it.

Seeing these pieces of equipment, Shi Feng suddenly remembered that he was already level 5. With the attributes of the Abyssal, adding 6 points of free attributes to Strength, he could now wear the Silver Moon set.

Wearing the best set for a swordsman below level 10 at level 5, his attributes would be nearly invincible, making it much easier to complete quests.

Saying this, Shi Feng added all his free attributes to Strength, then took out the five pieces of the Silver Moon set and equipped them. Because he had reached level 5, he unlocked the swordsman's dual-wielding talent, allowing him to equip two one-handed swords. He then equipped the Mithril-grade Blood Blade, which he had been keeping in reserve, on his off-hand.

After equipping everything, Shi Feng was amazed at his own attributes. Probably no other player in the entire Divine Realm had such attributes.

Not to mention the effects of the Silver Moon five-piece set.

Effect 1: Attack +15, Defense +30.

Effect 2: Health increased by 10%, Level 2 Life Shield, when activated, it absorbs 60% of damage, maximum absorption 500, cooldown 5 minutes.

Effect 3: All damage taken reduced by 10%, attack speed increased by 10%.

Shi Feng's current health was close to 1000 points. With these three effects, he could even tank better than a MT, and his damage output was significantly increased.

Wearing a set of silver-white armor, with the black Abyssal on one side of his waist and the bright red Blood Blade on the other, he looked like a hero walking through the world.

With plenty of time before the agreed time, Shi Feng took on two high-level quests in Stone Hammer Town, both involving hunting level 10 two-headed snakes. He needed 20 snake gallbladders and 30 venomous fangs. Completing the quests would yield rare minerals and forging materials, which were essential for crafting Black Iron-grade equipment and weapons and were usually very hard to find.

After more than twenty minutes of running, Shi Feng finally arrived at a desert oasis, where a group of two-headed snakes were circling around.

Two-headed Snake, Common-grade, Level 10, Health 950.

Don't be fooled by the low health of the two-headed snakes. Ordinary level 10 players really couldn't kill them alone; they usually needed help.

Once the monsters in the Divine Realm reached level 10, there was a qualitative change. Their attack methods were very flexible and free, and they could defend, which was a characteristic that ordinary monsters below level 10 did not have. Without multiple combat experiences, ordinary players found it difficult to resist or dodge these attacks. Additionally, their attacks would come with special skills, and a slight mistake could cost a player their life.

The attack pattern of the two-headed snake was usually one head attacking while the other head defended, making it difficult for a single player to deal damage. With the Fatal Venom Fang skill, if bitten, the player would be poisoned, losing 50 health points per second for 15 seconds. Without an antidote, it would almost certainly be the end for an ordinary player.

Shi Feng slowly approached.

Before he got within 20 yards, the two-headed snake, which was as tall as a person, stuck out its tongue and charged at Shi Feng.

Since he was discovered, Shi Feng also charged forward.

Wind Chaser Sword!

The Abyssal turned into a black beam and stabbed at the two-headed snake's vital point. The two-headed snake reacted extremely quickly, one head biting the Abyssal, immobilizing it, while the other head opened its mouth, and the sharp venomous fangs dripped with green venom, biting at Shi Feng.

Shi Feng swung the Blood Blade with his other hand, turning it into a red beam and slashing at the two-headed snake.

With a thud.

The two-headed snake was pushed back, with over 60 points of damage appearing on its head, while Shi Feng only lost a dozen points of health and didn't retreat a step. Then the Abyssal slashed at the two-headed snake's defenseless abdomen, dealing 96 points of damage and activating the Abyssal's ability, sharply reducing the two-headed snake's attributes.

But it wasn't over yet. Shi Feng swung the Blood Blade again, stabbing the two-headed snake's vital point, dealing 112 points of damage.

By the time the two-headed snake reacted, its health was down to half.

When one of the snake heads bit at Shi Feng, he sidestepped and lunged forward, preventing the other head from attacking.

Double Slash!

The Abyssal and the Blood Blade deeply pierced the two-headed snake's abdomen, then pulled and sliced, leaving two long cuts.

-156, -132 damage appeared on the two-headed snake's head, and a bleeding buff was added.

The two-headed snake tried to counterattack, but before it could reach Shi Feng, it died from excessive bleeding.

System: Killed a two-headed snake, overkilling a level 5 monster, experience gained 500%, 1000 experience points.

The two-headed snake also contributed a snake gallbladder to Shi Feng.

Throughout the entire killing process, Shi Feng didn't use any skills, mostly just normal attacks, and easily dealt with a level 10 monster. However, Shi Feng wasn't entirely satisfied, especially with the first stab, which was blocked by the two-headed snake. If it hadn't been blocked, a series of combo moves could have taken down the two-headed snake.

Shi Feng then began looking for the next target.

An hour later, Shi Feng had killed over forty two-headed snakes, and his experience had increased to 81% of level 5. The leveling speed was like a rocket, faster than forging equipment.

He couldn't help but marvel that with the Silver Moon set and two excellent weapons, overkilling monsters was really easy. At this rate, he could reach level 6 in less than an hour.

"Still need 3 more snake gallbladders and 5 more venomous fangs, but all the two-headed snakes in this area have been killed. I'll have to wait for them to respawn." Shi Feng looked around and found no two-headed snakes left.

Shi Feng had to run to the other side to hunt more two-headed snakes.

But just as he took a few steps, three two-headed snakes emerged from the oasis, one of which was larger and had a horn on its head. This was the snake king patrolling its territory.

"Hmm, a rare elite?" Shi Feng looked at the two-headed snake king, licked his lips, and smiled. Rare elites weren't often seen, appearing randomly, and were stronger than ordinary elites with excellent drops. Encountering one was a matter of luck.
