66 Phantom Kill (2/2)
Everyone stopped fighting over monsters with the other players when they heard Blackie say so. They cheerfully left this place with Blackie.
When the Elite parties saw Blackie and the others leaving, their faces revealed expressions of joy. There would be fewer people competing over this precious leveling ground now. They inwardly sneered at the foolishness of Blackie’s party. Currently, players filled the entirety of Dark Moon Valley. How could the leveling speed at the other locations be faster than here?
Elsewhere, just when Shi Feng was ready to look for other Mountain Beast Fighters, he noticed a problem from the conversation with Blackie.
It was definitely not possible for him to kill the Mountain Beast Warrior by himself, but he could still escape. However, it was not necessary for him to kill the Mountain Beast Warrior to obtain the Mysterious-Iron Treasure Chest.
As long as one person lured the Mountain Beast Warrior, another person could go and open the Treasure Chest.
Thinking up to this point, Shi Feng looked at the Abyssal Blade with a faint smile.
As expected, Phantom Kill was a very powerful skill.
Following which, Shi Feng once more returned to the Mountain Beast camp. He activated Phantom Kill, his doppelganger appearing before him.
The doppelganger possessed all of Shi Feng’s skills. It was sufficient to hold off the Mountain Beast Warrior for more than twenty seconds. With these twenty seconds, Shi Feng could activate the Treasure Chest and take away all the items.
Shi Feng took out a Speed Scroll and Polymorph Scroll, giving them to the doppelganger. The Polymorph Scroll could polymorph monsters below Level 15 into a sheep for 4 seconds. However, the effective duration on a Special Elite would be greatly decreased. Although, it was enough as long as it could disrupt the Mountain Beast Warrior’s Charge.
After activating the Speed Scroll, the doppelganger immediately went to the storehouse to lure the Mountain Beast Warrior.
As expected, the scene from before replayed itself, and the doppelganger used Parry to block the flying death ax. It subsequently used Charge at the doppelganger. The doppelganger immediately used the Polymorph Scroll, instantly turning the Mountain Beast Warrior into a little white sheep.
The Mountain Beast Warrior reverted to its original form in less than a second. It then chased after the doppelganger, entering deep into the stone forest. The Mountain Beast Warrior’s speed was slightly faster than the doppelganger, but the doppelganger activated Windwalk, its speed and the distance between them increasing once more.
A short distance away, Shi Feng watched as the Mountain Beast Warrior departed from the campsite. He let out a small chuckle, similarly activating Windwalk as he rushed into the storehouse.
This time, there were no monsters present to interrupt him when he entered the storehouse. Shi Feng first went up to the Mysterious-Iron Treasure Chest, opening it.
The Treasure Chest needed time to be opened.
1 second… 2 seconds…
The loading bar for the Treasure Chest was still going, causing Shi Feng to become slightly nervous. The time his doppelganger could delay was limited. Aside from the Mysterious-Iron Treasure Chest, there was still one more Bronze Treasure Chest and three Common Treasure Chests. Time was of the essence. As long as he opened a Treasure Chest now, it would not be possible to lure the tiger out of the mountain the next time around. After all, Special Elites possessed their own intelligence.
“Hurry, hurry…” Shi Feng impatiently looked at the loading bar.
Ten seconds later, the Mysterious-Iron Treasure Chest opened.
At the same time, a wrathful roar came from the stone forest. It would seem that Shi Feng’s actions had been discovered.
Looking through the doppelganger’s vision, Shi Feng could see that the Mountain Beast Warrior no longer paid the doppelganger any attention. Instead, it ran back towards the camp’s storehouse.
Without pause, Shi Feng immediately stored all the items in the Treasure Chest into his bag. He then continued to open the Bronze Chest.
The Bronze Treasure Chest’s loading bar started to move slowly. To Shi Feng, every second right now was crawling by.
Meanwhile, the sound of the Mountain Beast Warrior’s bellow was getting closer and closer…
