Time passed, bit by bit.
Shi Feng and Blackie did not just do nothing. They were killing Level 4 Roaming Gnomes in a place not far from Crimson Star Mine.
[Roaming Gnome] (Common)
Level 4
HP 400
Compared to the Kobolds, the Roaming Gnomes were much more agile. They were very good at dodging. However, their Attack and Defense weren’t all that good.
Moreover, Dark Moon Valley had yet to be developed. The monsters here were more numerous, and there was nobody here to compete with; there was no need to search for monsters to kill.
