Chapter 87

Bai Qingsnow and the other person were luring the monsters from both sides. They had not even approached the 30-yard range when the two monsters, with their eyes glowing red, turned to stare at the intruders.

"Alert, alert, intruders detected!"

After the alarm sounded, all the mechanical puppets and mechanical warriors within a 40-yard radius were alarmed. The mechanical monsters around them locked onto the two people, and soon they were being chased by hundreds of mechanical puppets and mechanical warriors.

Zhao Yueru was secretly alarmed when she saw this. Fortunately, she had not rashly lured the monsters earlier, or they would have been wiped out.

"Big Brother Heiyan, is it really okay to lure the monsters like this?" Zhao Yueru watched as Bai Qingsnow and the other person were closely pursued by the mechanical army. If they had not dodged in time, they would have been finished.

"Don't worry, with the speed scrolls, these mechanical monsters won't catch up to them," Shi Feng said confidently.

Sure enough, after a while, not a single mechanical monster caught up to them. Everything went as Shi Feng had said. After luring all the outer mechanical monsters, the two people circled in the open pit, and the mechanical puppets and mechanical warriors followed them in a grand procession.

The two people's monster-luring skills were very proficient, and soon the two waves of mechanical monsters merged into one.

Zhao Yueru was secretly amazed. She also had speed scrolls, but they were too expensive. Even they only had one each, kept for emergencies. She never expected Shi Feng to casually take out two, and use them to lure monsters. It was truly extravagant.

However, with the speed scrolls, the two people safely lured all the monsters.

But a problem arose: how to deal with so many monsters?

They didn't have area-of-effect spells, and even if they did, they wouldn't dare use them, as it would cause chaos in the hate list. The main tank (MT) hadn't learned the high-level skill of taunting a group, and everyone would still die in the end.

Shi Feng naturally knew everyone's doubts but just smiled mysteriously and walked forward.

"Ten seconds later, lure all the monsters to the center," Shi Feng said in the party chat.

"Understood," Bai Qingsnow responded.

After saying that, Shi Feng took out a dark red, exquisite scroll from his backpack, unfolded it, and revealed a page filled with incantations. Just showing it caused the magical fire elements around to surge.

Even a layman could tell that this was no ordinary item.

As an Elementalist, Zhao Yueru was shocked. What kind of magic scroll was this? The magic scrolls in the magic shop couldn't achieve this level. The mere incantations could rapidly gather the surrounding fire elements, making them extremely violent.

The fire elements gathered in a short time were even stronger than her strongest Flame Dragon Roar. If it were cast, who knew how powerful it would be.

At this moment, Shi Feng activated the magic scroll and drew the magic weapon, Abyssal.

Suddenly, the fire elements on the magic scroll poured out like mercury, and several ten-meter-long fire snakes drilled into Abyssal. The blade of Abyssal burst into brilliant flames, instantly transforming into a flaming sword. It faintly emitted a phoenix cry, echoing around.

Such a grand spectacle naturally caught everyone's attention.

No one expected Shi Feng to have such a trump card.

Actually, Shi Feng didn't want to use this second-tier magic scroll. Each use was one less, and he had only obtained four by scouring the entire Moonlight Forest. Using one left him with only three.

At this moment, Bai Qingsnow and the other person had already lured all the mechanical monsters to the center and were running towards Shi Feng.

The mechanical monsters were getting closer: 40 yards... 30 yards... 20 yards... 10 yards... but Shi Feng showed no signs of action, just standing still with his sword burning brightly.

Just as Bai Qingsnow and the other person passed by Shi Feng, he suddenly moved, swinging the burning flaming sword.

Second-tier magic: Blade of Fire Dance!

In an instant, countless crimson flames bloomed from the slash, and the scorching flames surged like a sea, instantly engulfing the entire mechanical army. Everything within a 60-yard conical range in front was burned to ashes.

Even the mechanical warriors with 3000 HP couldn't withstand the damage and turned into piles of scrap metal.

Shi Feng's experience bar suddenly increased significantly, reaching 37% of level 6. The others also broke through level 5, reaching level 6, with an incredibly satisfying leveling speed.

Seeing the ground covered with loot, everyone was filled with joy. Shi Feng was too powerful, able to one-shot level 9 elites. Although it was with the help of an external item, obtaining such an item was also a skill.

If this happened a few more times, they could reach level 10 in no time!

At this moment, Bai Qingsnow was also glad to have chosen to help Shi Feng with the quest. Just the experience points alone made it worth it.

"Big Brother Heiyan, what kind of scroll did you use? It's so powerful," Zhao Yueru asked curiously, her big eyes blinking as she looked at Shi Feng.

"Second-tier magic scroll," Shi Feng said casually.

"Big Brother Heiyan, can we buy it somewhere?" Zhao Yueru, captivated by its destructive power, was willing to spend ten silver coins for it.

Shi Feng shook his head and smiled, "You can't buy this. It only has a certain chance to appear in high-level treasure chests."

"Oh," Zhao Yueru was a bit disappointed.

If Shi Feng knew Zhao Yueru wanted to buy it for ten silver coins, he would have bled. Second-tier magic scrolls were too valuable. In critical moments, they could save lives. In the previous life, many large guilds spent two to three gold coins and still couldn't get a second-tier magic scroll.

If this quest wasn't so important, Shi Feng wouldn't have used the scroll.

Bai Qingsnow also wanted to inquire about it, as it was too good. But hearing Shi Feng's tone, she could tell he was a bit reluctant, even the wealthy chief blacksmith was hesitant. This item was clearly very rare.

However, hearing that it could appear in high-level treasure chests, the guild members could pay attention.

Then, the group started to clear the loot. Among the more than 800 mechanical monsters, there were many elites, and the loot was abundant, including several level 7 and 8 common equipment pieces, over thirty bronze equipment pieces, and a few skill books.

"These monsters were all killed by you, and we didn't help much. We won't take the equipment and skill books," Bai Qingsnow said after sorting the loot, trading everything to Shi Feng.

The shield warrior, however, was drooling at the MT equipment, but he didn't dare to object to giving everything to Shi Feng.

"You helped a lot. Let's distribute the equipment based on class needs. I'll keep these skill books," Shi Feng said, only taking the skill books. He found a special skill, Precision Throw, which was very useful to him. As for the bronze equipment, it wasn't worth much to him, and he was wearing the Silver Moon set, which he wouldn't change until level 10. He would get better and more suitable equipment for Heizi and the others.

The equipment wasn't very useful to Shi Feng, but it was very useful to Bai Qingsnow.

"I'd feel bad just taking it. How about I buy it all? I don't have enough in-game currency, but can I pay with credit points?" Bai Qingsnow didn't want to owe Shi Feng a favor and asked softly.

"Sure, you can use credit points," Shi Feng was happy to agree.

Soon, Bai Qingsnow transferred 50,000 credit points to Shi Feng, making his credit points more substantial.

"What about the remaining mechanical knights? Are we using the magic scroll again?" Bai Qingsnow looked at the more than a hundred mechanical knights guarding the gate, somewhat expectantly.

"Second-tier magic scrolls can't take them down. Besides, I don't need to kill them; I just need to lure them away," Shi Feng said, sweating a bit. Second-tier magic scrolls weren't like cabbages.

"Leave it to me," Bai Qingsnow said after studying the terrain for a while, feeling it was feasible.

"Here are the speed scrolls and the return scrolls. Once you run out of the pit, they won't chase you anymore. After leaving combat, you can use the return scroll to leave," Shi Feng said, handing over a few scrolls.

Seeing they were about to part ways, Zhao Yueru felt a bit reluctant. For some reason, being with Shi Feng gave her a sense of ease and security.

"Big Brother Heiyan, let's add each other as friends. We're going to a level 5 team dungeon tomorrow. How about you join us?" Zhao Yueru said suddenly.

Bai Qingsnow was slightly surprised, looking at Zhao Yueru with a helpless smile. But she thought it was a good idea. With Shi Feng, their chances of clearing the level 5 team dungeon would be much higher.

"Uh," Shi Feng didn't expect the "demon girl" Zhao Yueru to want to add him as a friend and invite him to the dungeon. Her attitude was much different from before.

"Adding friends is fine, but I have something to do tomorrow. We can do the dungeon another time," Shi Feng politely declined the dungeon invitation. He couldn't be in two places at once, but adding friends was no problem. Wearing the Demon Mask would create an independent friend list, and others wouldn't notice anything unusual.

"Then let's add friends," Zhao Yueru lightly bit her red lip, feeling a bit disappointed that she couldn't go to the dungeon with Shi Feng, but adding him as a friend was still good for future contact.

System: Do you accept Feiyan Liuyue's friend request?

Shi Feng clicked accept, and Feiyan Liuyue automatically joined Heiyan's friend list.

Then, Shi Feng walked towards the left side of the gate.

At this moment, Bai Qingsnow was already preparing to lure the mechanical knights on the right side of the gate.

"Big Sister Yue, let's leave first. The rest is up to Big Sister Qingsnow," Xiaoyue'er said softly, seeing Zhao Yueru standing still.

"Got it," Zhao Yueru said, looking at Shi Feng's back one last time before turning to leave.

Seeing Shi Feng ready, Bai Qingsnow activated the speed scroll and charged towards the level 10 mechanical knights.

Halfway through, all the mechanical knights at the gate's entrance had their eyes light up, and their massive bodies began to move, all focusing on Bai Qingsnow. She immediately stopped and turned to run.

The mechanical knights roared in anger, moving their massive bodies to chase Bai Qingsnow.

Only after all the mechanical knights left did Shi Feng quickly run towards the steel gate.

Although Bai Qingsnow had lured the mechanical knights away, the time was limited. The next time, they might not fall for it, so he had to act quickly.

At the gate, Shi Feng found the keyhole covered in green moss and inserted the broken black obsidian crystal given by Heixu. The fortress key had been stored for nearly a thousand years, and Heixu had said it might not open the gate, but it was worth a try.
