Since they didn't know the situation of the God-Forsaken Continent.
Gu Yixue, Lin Liyu, and Wang Meng, they all agreed to teleport here together.
Sure enough.
As soon as their team of six was teleported to the center of the ruins, two monster-like stone statues appeared behind them and rushed towards them to attack!
——
[Earthshaker (Lv11)]
[Grade: Common]
——
Although they were just two small monsters, Wang Meng and the others didn't dare to be careless at all.
"Raise your shields!"
Wang Meng was wearing a Gold-level armor and holding a Silver-level shield. He immediately blocked in front of the two "Earthshakers".
The others lined up behind him.
The white owl on Gu Yixue's shoulder immediately flew out and released a white light, which landed on Wang Meng, adding a layer of defense bonus to him...
Boom! Boom!
The two humanoid stone statue "Earthshakers" rushed over with great force. When they got close to Wang Meng, they directly stomped on the ground and actually sent Wang Meng flying!
At the same time, two heavy punches landed on Wang Meng's body.
-512!
-498!
Two astonishing damage numbers popped up from Wang Meng's body.
Gu Yixue frowned slightly.
She slightly raised her hand, and the Gold-level staff in her hand released a ray of light to start healing Wang Meng...
Meanwhile, a fire-element area-of-effect skill with an additional attack power of 150 points was released from Lin Liyu's hand. A fireball fell from the sky and hit both Earthshakers at the same time!
-428!
-428!
...
Lin Liyu's damage was top-notch among the current players.
After all, more than half of the equipment on her was Gold-level or even Platinum-level equipment from Qin Feng.
But compared to Qin Feng, she was still more than one level behind.
With just one skill, she only took away about one-tenth of the small monsters' health.
"This monster can be controlled. I'll stun them," the Card Master uncle in the team said in a deep voice. "Xiao Gu, let your owl fly into the sky to check the surrounding terrain and make sure there are no other monsters nearby."
Gu Yixue nodded, and the snow-white owl quickly flew into the sky...
After more than a minute.
They managed to kill the two small monsters with some difficulty.
The information from Gu Yixue's exploration made their faces turn a bit ugly.
"So, there's no safe zone in this place at all?"
"There are monsters everywhere?"
"And our fight just now has already attracted the attention of some monsters?"
All of a sudden, Wang Meng and the others realized...
The God-Abandoned Game was completely different from ordinary online games.
Damn it, this was a survival game!
...
Compared to Wang Meng and them, Qin Feng was much more relaxed.
With a stealth level of Level 3, he could easily move through groups of monsters!
"The monsters within the ruins of Jianghai City are not too strong yet."
"The highest anti-stealth level is only Level 2."
"After I first get a firm foothold in the ruins and find a good shelter, I'll explore the ruins and find some bosses to kill."
Of course, Qin Feng didn't waste the cooldown of his skills either.
When he passed by some groups of monsters, he directly used the "Instant Shadow Slash"!
Even without the active effect of "Graceful Liberation", the total damage of the nine strikes of the "Instant Shadow Slash" could reach more than twenty or thirty thousand.
It was completely a one-hit kill for these small monsters.
Now, there were no other players in the whole ruin.
There were monsters everywhere.
For Qin Feng, it was like paradise!
He moved towards his target location all the way, killing ordinary monsters in an instant along the way. The "Hand of Greed" was hardly ever stopped.
When he arrived at the target location over twenty kilometers away, the number of his evolution points had increased from 98 to 115.
Moreover, he also picked up a higher-level "Shadow Concealment" skill book!
Skills with the same name had a fixed grade.
For example, the "Shadow Concealment" skill was of a fixed "Inferior" quality.
However, the same skills also had different level distinctions!
For example, what Qin Feng obtained now was the Level 10 "Shadow Concealment".
"Learning this skill book will overwrite my original Level 1 'Shadow Concealment'."
"However, correspondingly, to upgrade the 'Shadow Concealment' in the real world to Level 10, more tradable lifespan needs to be supplemented..."
With a bit of an experimental mindset, Qin Feng learned this skill book.
——
[You have learned 'Shadow Concealment (Level 10)'!]
[Your 'Shadow Concealment (Level 1)' has been overwritten!]
[Shadow Concealment (Platinum)]. Required level 1 → 10, Enter a stealth state that lasts for 24 → 36 seconds. Damage when breaking stealth 150 → 300. Cooldown 22 (12.6) seconds.
——
The cooldown hadn't decreased, but the duration of stealth and the damage when breaking stealth had been greatly increased.
"Fortunately, although it's an inferior skill book, my 'Shadow Concealment' had already evolved to the Platinum level long ago. So after being overwritten, this skill is still at the Platinum level!"
Qin Feng took another look at his attribute panel.
"Now I have 110 years of lifespan, which is a little over forty thousand days..."
"I'll extract the abilities all at once when I go to deal with Dongfang Xian."
Qin Feng closed the attribute panel.
He hid his figure and looked at a patch of residential ruins in front of him.
No one knew that under this patch of ruins, there was an underground palace covering an area of more than 1,200 mu!
This underground palace was about the same size as Jianghai Normal University in the real world. There were thousands of rooms for rest alone, and there were dozens of hall areas.
If this underground palace could be occupied, no matter how much equipment or wealth there was, it could all be stored!
In the God-Abandoned Game, there were many such ready-made shelters.
The official name was "Hideout".
Of course, players could also try to build them by themselves, but it would require a huge amount of materials... It was even more difficult than reaching the sky to build a shelter covering thousands of mu.
"However, the larger the hideout you want to occupy, the stronger the guardian you need to defeat."
"I still remember in my previous life, after I established the Slaying God Guild, I gathered three teams with a total of eighteen people and reached Level 15 before coming to capture this palace..."
Qin Feng didn't hesitate. He directly found a staircase in this patch of ruins and walked down along it.
His target was a Level 15 Platinum-level boss.
There were also quite a number of small monsters ranging from Level 12 to 15 on the way, and even some small bosses.
This underground palace, which was originally prepared for a powerful team, Qin Feng planned to explore it alone!
When Qin Feng walked down along the staircase for about fifteen meters, it was already pitch black all around.
Suddenly, a stone door in front opened!
When the hideout was unoccupied, this stone door would open for anyone who came.
But when a player occupied it, others could only open this stone door by violent destruction...
"Summon, Devout Believer."
Qin Feng used the Gold-level Believer's Pendant at the stone door to summon a Silver-level believer.
"Guard the door."
This Silver-level devout believer, as a summoned creature, had an unlimited duration.
As long as it wasn't killed, it would always exist.
It was perfect for guarding the door.
Then, Qin Feng entered the stone door in stealth and heard a system prompt:
——
[You have arrived at the 'Soul-Cleansing Land (Hideout)'!]
[Defeat the regional guardian, and you will possess this region!]
——
What came into Qin Feng's view was a spacious hall.
In the hall, more than ten Level 12 common small monsters were wandering around.
'Surging Spirit', 'Overloading Spirit', 'Burning Spirit'...
These were all conscious bodies formed by the convergence of elemental energy.
"Darkest Hour!"
Qin Feng directly released the skill. The Plague Blade in his hand released a black flash, causing all the surrounding small monsters to fall into the 'blinded' state.
First, he used an "Instant Shadow Slash" to deal with seven or eight monsters in a straight line.
Then...
Taking advantage of all these small monsters being 'blinded' and randomly throwing elemental attacks around, Qin Feng accurately avoided the attacks, waved the Plague Blade in his hand, and launched normal attacks on these small monsters.
With the bonuses of class, weak point, and backstab, even with normal attacks, Qin Feng could hit a weak point with each strike, dealing nearly three thousand damage and killing these Level 12 small monsters in an instant!
If it were other players.
Even an elite player team like Wang Meng's would be in extreme danger if they encountered so many elemental small monsters in a closed space.
But Qin Feng...
In an instant, he perfectly dealt with a total of 15 elemental small monsters!
Loot and lifespan light spheres were scattered all over the hall.
"According to the number of monsters in this hideout..."
"After clearing all the monsters in this place, my evolution points should be enough to evolve the 'Hand of Greed' once more!"
Qin Feng was quite looking forward to it.
When a skill evolved from the epic level to the legendary level, there would be a qualitative change.
He didn't know what effect the "Hand of Greed" would evolve into when it reached the legendary level?
...
Just when Qin Feng was about to fight his way through this underground palace.
Outside, Wang Meng and the others were being chased around by monsters everywhere in the city ruins.
"Go, this way!"
"It seems there aren't as many monsters here. Let's hide and don't make any noise..."
"Wait, there are so many monster corpses in this yard?"
Led by Gu Yixue's white owl, the team of six quickly arrived at the area that Qin Feng had just passed by.
Because...
The monsters in this area had just been killed by Qin Feng.
Viewed from the sky, this area was very clean.
When Wang Meng and the six of them fled here together, they saw patches of monster corpses in the ruins here!
Instantly, the six of them were shocked!
These monsters that could chase them around were being slaughtered like chicks in front of Shadow?!
Originally, they knew that Shadow was very powerful.
But they never expected that he could be this exaggeratedly powerful!
"There are no monsters around here for now. Let's take a break," Gu Yixue pursed her lips and said, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
An Yu looked at the monster corpses all over the ground and was quite emotional: "As expected of Shadow, the big shot. I thought we were strong enough, but it turns out that we can only tremble under the big shot's crotch."
Hearing her words, the faces of the other five people became a bit strange.
Wang Meng coughed: "Captain An, cough cough, watch your wording."
An Yu widened her beautiful eyes: "Ah? Isn't my description appropriate?"
