Chapter 392 - 365: The Giant Crocodile That Is Actually a Demigod
Now, the Black Forest is bustling with activity. Da Fei also ventured deeper into the forest away from the carpet-style monster clearing by the masses. At this moment, the sentinel skill "Stealth Master" started to show its amazing effectiveness—Little Fei was fighting, while Da Fei who also entered the battle was still in Stealth State, and the crows finally stopped pecking at the Da Fei beneath the trees!
This completely subverts the rules of stealth, meaning that the sentinel class has finally become the invisible rogue that everyone in traditional games resents! Does this mean I can stealth through other unknown spaces by myself?
Indeed, technology changes tactics! Fine, first, I’ll not be in a hurry to tough it out with the Eight-Headed Snake; once the situation here is handled and wrapped up, I’ll stealth through to scout the path first.
With a clear plan in mind, Da Fei’s confidence soared, and the process of killing crows became satisfyingly thrilling. Now, the only concern is the total BOSS behind these crows. Will the large scale of the forest draw out the BOSS? But the elder and his entire tribe are mobilized, so even if the BOSS appears, we wouldn’t be utterly powerless, right? If the BOSS shows up, it would be better to take it down with the help of the Hobbits rather than struggling alone.
Next are the Tree Spirits left at the entrance. I wonder how they’ve fared after a day? Anyway, first clear the area and rendezvous, the forces left in the wilderness must maintain contact from time to time, or else they could become wild monsters or run away. And the timber must be moved sooner rather than later, as the game might refresh and wipe them out after a week of game time.
Time passed by, the Hobbits with baskets kept moving in and out through the Space Gate, and the sound of the logging team cutting trees resonated throughout the forest. The BOSS never appeared, and Da Fei returned to where the Tree Spirits were stationed.
A day has passed, and these Tree Spirits seem to have a faint silver coating, shining with a metallic luster from afar. Da Fei couldn’t wait to check their attributes.
Their life force was damaged, but it was unclear whether it was corroded by mercury or they hadn’t recovered from yesterday’s battle with the pursuing Spider Demons. Their Stamina was also insufficient, and it was again unclear whether it was due to mercury or lost during the overloaded fighting from yesterday. Then their Attack and Defense were normal, and there was no change in damage.
In any case, they’ve survived! Both Tai Da and the elder were right; Tree Spirits are classified as Spiritual Creatures, much more resistant to mercury and poison than creatures of flesh and blood. Da Fei breathed a sigh of relief and thought, following this trend, they could last a few more days. Also, an idea sparked — these Tree Spirits are tough and capable; could they be the perfect workers for the Mercury Mine?
Speaking of which, the workers of the Mercury Mine are the highest and lowest paid in the game. In the Light Camp, they are the highest paid — no one wants to do such deadly and arduous labor, and if you hire puppet workers from the Mage Academy, the cost is equally high. In the Dark Camp, they are the lowest paid since the miners are Skeleton Zombie workers. From this perspective, the Dark Camp indeed has a huge advantage in production.
In any case, although there might be a BOSS in Mercury Lake, it’s still too early to think about that, but as a Lord, I must have strategic foresight and plans, wahahaha!
Soon after, a flash of white light in the sky!
— System Prompt: Congratulations! Your Reconnaissance Spirit Eagle Little Fei has grown in battle! Attack+1, Defense+1, Life+3, Stamina+5. A new special skill has been comprehended: Dive.
— Dive: The Reconnaissance Spirit Eagle can perform a Dive Attack from high altitude towards a target on the ground, causing 2 to 3 times the normal damage, while also consuming 30% of Stamina.
Little Fei finally leveled up! As expected, the further we go, the less significant the crows’ experience seems! And this time, the upgrade gained more attributes than the previous ones, with Little Fei growing in size again.
Dive, the level 4 humans’ Griffin’s terrifying finisher skill! My Little Fei has finally learned it. With this skill, the Reconnaissance Eagle can snipe at weak enemies from a distance without the Hero Attributes bonus! Of course, a 30% Stamina cost doesn’t justify using it on any random Agou or Amao.
In summary, Little Fei has learned everything an eagle should, so I guess that’s graduation? The next step is to raise it to adulthood. There’s nothing much to say, now it’s at full Stamina, so kill! Keep on killing for me!
Time flies in the midst of slaughter, the crows are decimated wave after wave, but it’s not enough to let Little Fei level up again, and finally, Little Fei is exhausted and disappears back into the Blood Eagle Flute. Although they didn’t wipe them all out, the number of crows is already beyond the Hobbits’ capacity to clear. They haven’t even finished clearing the crows from the previous few forests, so it’s time to stop.
Da Fei returned to the Space Gate and saw the busy commanding elder.
The elder exclaimed, "Lord, you really have opened my eyes. Although I have seen some Sentinel Heroes in my youth, I have never seen anyone use a Flying Eagle with such, such splendor!"
Oh yeah! I love to hear that, my 200 health points of parenting costs were not wasted! Da Fei laughed heartily, "My Flying Eagle is the elite of the elite, ordinary people can’t compare to me, wahahaha!"
The elder laughed, "Lord, our rafts are almost full, and I believe so many crows should be enough to feed that giant crocodile."
Da Fei nodded, "Then let’s take action!"
Tai Da stepped forward, "My Lord, there’s still some time left, I will continue to log. I will return before the mercury steam arises."
