"Damn it, why do you know so much? I've always wanted to keep a low profile!" Lin Zheng muttered to himself, hiding in the vegetation. These greedy guys, as soon as they knew he had a Dark Gold ring, their eyes turned green like wolves!
"From now on, we'll kill that guy every time we see him until he drops the Cold Star!" Brilliant Mad Blade said with a fierce expression. Lin Zheng heard this and couldn't help but curl his lip in disdain. Kill him every time he sees him? Does he think I'm made of mud? Hmm—since you're so arrogant, I'll start with you! He took out shattered moon and a dagger, aimed at Brilliant Mad Blade, and shot. "Whoosh—" The dagger flew out instantly, accurately hitting Brilliant Mad Blade, -3260! A very striking damage number floated up from Brilliant Mad Blade's body. Brilliant Mad Blade looked disbelieving, collapsing to the ground before his attack even landed! Instant kill! The Brilliant Godslayer members immediately became alert!
"Damn it!" Brilliant Heavy Cavalry cursed, "Yi Ping, you bastard, how dare you ambush us!"
"Hmph!" Lin Zheng sneered, "You're allowed to ambush me, but I'm not allowed to ambush you? Do you own all the rules!?"
"Are you determined to go against our Brilliant Godslayer?" Brilliant Heavy Cavalry said with a dark face.
"Who's going against you? From just now until now, you've been the ones looking for trouble with me. You're quite good at pushing the blame!"
"Damn it! This kid is too arrogant!" Brilliant Godslayer Rookie roared in annoyance, raising an axe and charging at Lin Zheng. Brilliant Godslayer Rookie used "Assault"! He swiftly rushed towards Lin Zheng. Lin Zheng was about to dodge, but "Bang!" an ice arrow landed on him. Although the damage wasn't high, it slowed him down! Carelessly, Lin Zheng was knocked back by Brilliant Godslayer Rookie's Assault. A great opportunity was before them, and Brilliant Heavy Cavalry immediately shouted: "Charge!" Several people rushed forward!
"Damn!" Lin Zheng, who was on the ground, rolled, avoiding Brilliant Heavy Cavalry and Brilliant Mad Blade's daggers, but he was still hit by a Holy Light Bomb from the Healing Father, losing a few hundred health. After rolling a few times, Lin Zheng took the opportunity to get up. "Clang—" The shattered moon in his hand disassembled into two short swords. He turned and gave the pursuing Brilliant Mad Blade a sword strike. Brilliant Mad Blade, who hadn't expected Lin Zheng to turn, directly met Lin Zheng's short sword. He was hit squarely in the chest, and blood splattered instantly, -3450! A critical hit! Brilliant Mad Blade grunted, his health instantly dropping to 0, and he fell to the ground dead. Seeing this, the enraged Brilliant Heavy Cavalry raised the sword in his hand and slashed down at Lin Zheng. Lin Zheng, whose attack was already spent, was unavoidably hit, losing 1500 health. "Giant Sword Strike!" After one strike, Brilliant Heavy Cavalry attacked again. Lin Zheng, half-crouching on the ground, was very passive and could only use the long-unused Throw. The short sword in his hand flew out, actually hitting Brilliant Heavy Cavalry's eye. Brilliant Heavy Cavalry screamed "Ah—", and his skill lock went off target, "Bang—" his attack landing on the ground next to Lin Zheng. Strike while the iron is hot! Lin Zheng pounced forward, knocking Brilliant Heavy Cavalry down, picked up the short sword, and stabbed it towards Brilliant Heavy Cavalry's throat. "Puff—" Blood splattered, and Brilliant Heavy Cavalry instantly lost 3500 health. With a roar, Brilliant Heavy Cavalry flung Lin Zheng away, and with a sweep of his greatsword, forced Lin Zheng away from him.
Brilliant Heavy Cavalry, who had gotten up, glowed with holy light. It was the Healing Father healing him, and he himself took out potions and food to eat, almost reaching full health in an instant! "Damn it!" Lin Zheng cursed in a low voice. That damned Healing Father! I have to deal with this guy first, otherwise, Brilliant Heavy Cavalry will grind me to death!
He reassembled the two short swords into shattered moon, took out his dagger, and shot at Glorious Healing Father. However, that guy was already prepared, retreating in a Z-step, missing Lin Zheng's shot! He even casually threw a Holy Light Bomb in Reversal at Lin Zheng! "Damn it!" Lin Zheng dodged the Holy Light Bomb, but Brilliant Heavy Cavalry had already charged up and unceremoniously gave Lin Zheng a sword strike. Lin Zheng countered with a kick, a low kick Reversal, then jumped back, avoiding Brilliant Heavy Cavalry's attack. Just as he was thinking of shooting him dead, the damned Healing Light fell on Brilliant Heavy Cavalry again!
"Damn it!" Lin Zheng cursed in a low voice, shot Brilliant Heavy Cavalry with an arrow, then, taking advantage of Brilliant Heavy Cavalry being slowed, sprinted towards Glorious Healing Father, wanting to deal with him first! Unexpectedly, this guy was extremely cunning, actually running near Brilliant Heavy Cavalry. If Lin Zheng wanted to kill him, he would have to deal with Brilliant Heavy Cavalry first! But this guy was tough-skinned and thick-fleshed, and with the Healing Father healing him, he had a very long life! Seeing that the quest time was almost up, Lin Zheng's eyes turned Redeye, and he roared and charged towards Brilliant Heavy Cavalry! When this guy saw Lin Zheng charging, he immediately became happy, greeting him with a sneer. A leather-armored class fighting a metal-armored one in close combat, he completely thought Lin Zheng had lost his mind! He slashed Lin Zheng with a sword, and Lin Zheng returned a sword strike, but Lin Zheng didn't have time to use potions to recover health, while he had a Healing Father healing him. After three exchanges, Lin Zheng's health was only one-third left, but Brilliant Heavy Cavalry still had three-quarters of his health! The triumphant Brilliant Heavy Cavalry smiled sinisterly at Lin Zheng, but suddenly, he froze, because Lin Zheng was also smiling sinisterly at him! Suddenly, Brilliant Heavy Cavalry remembered something and retreated in horror, but it was already too late!
"Explosion!" Lin Zheng roared, stomping his foot down on the ground. Violent flames instantly engulfed everything within ten meters. In the flames, Brilliant Heavy Cavalry roared unwillingly, a huge -5690 damage floating above his head, and he fell to the ground! Instant kill. Now let's see how this Healing Father brings his health back up! Lin Zheng, filled with suppressed anger, looked at the stunned Glorious Healing Father with ill intent. What a godsend opportunity! He drew his bow and shot, and Glorious Healing Father, who hadn't yet recovered, was immediately hit by an arrow, -2650. He wasn't instantly killed! This surprised Lin Zheng a bit, but what about another arrow? The Healing Father, whose rhythm had already been disrupted, couldn't escape the second arrow's shot, and another -2350 damage floated up. He couldn't be any deader!
After dealing with these members of the Brilliant Godslayer family, the remaining time for the quest was very tight. Lin Zheng didn't stop, quickly running to Wang Hu to submit the quest!
"Thank you so much, big brother! This is a small token of my appreciation, please accept it!" Wang Hu said gratefully, and then Lin Zheng heard a prompt:
"Completed quest 'Night Feast One', gained 20 gold coins, 200,000 experience, obtained Silver-tier equipment 'Night Raid Leather Boots'!" Before Lin Zheng could even start to be surprised, the prompt rang again:
"Successfully completed quest 'Night Feast One', triggered quest 'Night Feast Two', quest difficulty C-rank Medium, do you accept!?"
Hoho! How could I not accept a quest with such generous rewards!
At this moment, Wang Hu said to Lin Zheng with an embarrassed expression: "Um, big brother, there's one more thing I'd like to ask for your help with! It's like this: the Princess of Hongnan City loves sweets, and to make the sweets the princess likes, fresh, high-quality honey is needed. Currently, only Poison Bee Forest can collect it, but the poisonous bees there are too terrifying, and I can't get close to their beehives at all. Can you go to Poison Bee Forest and help me collect 200 portions of honey? If you help me collect the honey, I will give you a very generous reward!"
"Quest accepted, under quest status, you can collect Level 8 material 'Honey'! Quest time limit 120 minutes, collect 200 portions of honey. After completing the quest, please go directly to the City Lord's Mansion to find Wang Hu to turn in the quest. If the quest cannot be completed within the time limit, the quest will fail, and any skill proficiency gained from collecting honey will be reset to zero!"
Another collection quest! Lin Zheng was very happy. This way, wouldn't he be able to train his collection skill to Level 4? Bidding farewell to Wang Hu, Lin Zheng opened the map to find the location of Poison Bee Forest. Soon, Lin Zheng found it. Poison Bee Forest was next to the Gloomy Mine, a Level 35-45 leveling spot. It would take about 20 minutes to get there from here. Since the quest had a time limit, Lin Zheng didn't want to waste time on the road, so he took out a Return City Pearl worth one gold coin, luxuriously returning to the city first before heading to Poison Bee Forest. This way, it would only take less than 10 minutes! On the way, Lin Zheng took out the rewarded Night Raid Leather Boots and looked at them.
Night Raid Leather Boots: Level Requirement 35, Silver-tier
Physical Defense 110, Magic Defense 110
Agility: 20
Swift Foot: Movement Speed +5%
Quick Hand: Attack Speed +5%
Part of the Night Raid Set
Hiss—Lin Zheng took a deep breath. These boots were too powerful. Double speed +5%. Just with this attribute, they could definitely surpass many Gold-tier and even Dark Gold-tier items of the same level! Plus 20 points of Agility, this was simply a killing weapon tailor-made for Hunters! And this item was also part of a set, and the set attributes were also extremely powerful: two pieces give Physical Defense +400, three pieces give Critical Rate +3%, four pieces give Strength +20, Agility +20, and with all five pieces, Damage Reduction 20%. Could the Night Feast series of quests give an entire set? Thinking of this, Lin Zheng's heart burned with excitement, wishing he could complete the quests immediately to find out!
A few minutes later, Lin Zheng arrived at Poison Bee Forest. Although the map indicated it as a Level 35-45 leveling spot, there were still quite a few players here. After all, players who play it safe are relatively few; most people choose to kill monsters a few levels higher to level up faster, especially since it's still the early stage of the game, and rushing levels is extremely important!
On the outskirts of Poison Bee Forest, many players were looking for teammates. Lin Zheng's Ice Ape set looked quite good, giving him the aura of an expert, and since he was alone, he received many invitations as soon as he arrived. However, Lin Zheng wasn't here to level up, but to do a quest. Teaming up would only drag others down, so it was better to go alone. Thus, Lin Zheng refused all invitations and entered Poison Bee Forest by himself!
