Chapter 42: The Black Wood Beast
The Imperial Spiritual Technique was instantly released, and at the same time, a pale golden shield appeared in front of Gao Feng's body, which was the golden light shield. Only a slight muffled sound was heard, and the black shadow that pounced on Gao Feng hit the shield, and while being blocked, Gao Feng retreated, and the black shadow was also pushed back a little by Gao Feng's spiritual mastery.
A silver-gray tentacle monster appeared in front of Gao Feng, and it was this tentacle monster that had just attacked Gao Feng. After being knocked back two steps, Gao Feng quickly pounced, and a flame knife appeared on the weapon that was already clenched in his hand, slashing at the tentacle monster.
The sounds of fighting kept coming, and some people let out screams, and the sounds began to get more and more loud, and it was clear that many people had been attacked by monsters.
In the building, there are also some rattan-like plants. These plants stretch on the ground, climb on the walls, and on some tables and things like that, and are also covered with this plant.
The plants are black, and the leaves on them are also black, the same color as the trees outside. At this time, the leaves are also curled up, but on this rattan-like plant, there are still some red circles, like fruits. These fruit-like things are emitting a faint red light, which becomes the light that illuminates this place.
The one who attacked Gao Feng was just a first-order tentacle monster, and it was not difficult to deal with this tentacle monster. After Gao Feng hacked him to death with a few knives, he carefully looked around.
On the top floor of the New Universe Department Store, Gao Feng has never been here, in fact, he has never entered here at all, because the things sold here are too different from Gao Feng's salary.
After taking a look at his surroundings, Gao Feng walked briskly towards the place where the stairs might be stored. With the faint red light, the surrounding scene can still be seen clearly. There are a lot of tentacle monsters here, lurking, and they may attack at any time.
The people who came in were all in the same direction, all moving towards the place where the stairs were kept, and no one wanted to stay longer. Because everyone knows that there is nothing here on the top floor, and you can go down to the second floor as soon as possible to have a chance to find good things.
The stairs were quickly found by Gao Feng, and he walked down the stairs quickly. Many people have also found the stairs and made a quick way down the stairs. The second layer is still the same as the previous one, a rattan-like plant. Under the pale red light, the shadows of some monsters were reflected, but there were not many of them. The people who came down hurriedly dispersed to find something or kill monsters. Everyone knows that after the monster is killed here, something good is likely to appear.
"The essence value is twice as much as the outside, which is a good place." Gao Feng said in his heart.
The tentacle monsters with first-order and first-level strength here, after being killed, can get twice as many essences as outside. This is definitely a good thing for Gao Feng. He killed this kind of first-order tentacle monster, but it was very powerful.
The stairs are in front of him, and he can go down to the next floor, but Gao Feng didn't go down immediately, he slowly moved away from the stairs, dealing with the tentacle monsters here, and also observing the situation. Some go straight downstairs, others look for it on this level.
"The tentacle monster is not a black wood beast, where would the black wood beast be?" Gao Feng muttered as he moved cautiously.
Suddenly, a monster of a larger size appeared in front of Gao Feng. This monster Gao Feng had seen it before when he was outside, but it was stronger, and it should be a first-order fifth-layer tentacle monster.
"There is no change in the essence value." After killing this tentacle monster, Gao Feng said.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise from the staircase, and a lot of screams. Gao Feng even heard a sound coming down the stairs from upstairs. He was about to look down the stairs when he sensed several monsters appear next to him.
Through the faint red light, Gao Feng saw that the monster that appeared was not a tentacle monster, but something that was nearly two meters tall and shaped like an orangutan. It's just that these monsters don't have fur on them, and their bodies resemble pine bark. The reason why they are close to two meters tall is because they have some branches twenty or thirty centimeters long on the top of their heads. The hands and feet are also like tree stumps. In particular, the fingers pressed on the ground are very much like tree branches.
Four such black monsters rushed towards Gao Feng, and Gao Feng hurriedly and cautiously responded. The flame knife on his right hand slashes, and the left hand hits the fireball technique. Even the flame shield was used by Gao Feng. Using a fire attack in this place is of some benefit to him, as it can help him illuminate.
The monster's body is very hard and strong, and it hits the ground with a thumping sound, and even the ground will be broken into pieces. Gao Feng's flame knife slashed at the monster's body, and the damage was far less effective than that of the first-order fifth-layer tentacle monster. Dealing with four of them together made Gao Feng a little difficult.
"It's definitely a monster with a first-order tenth-layer strength. Chen Qiang didn't say that there was such a monster on the second layer, could it be that he didn't understand it clearly? Gao Feng said in his heart.
The flame knife in his hand had to be replaced with a golden light knife. After all, metallic attacks are more effective than fire-type attacks. At this time, screams kept coming from the neighborhood, and the sound of fierce fights also kept coming. Gao Feng also heard someone shouting to retreat.
In the process of flipping and moving, Gao Feng killed the four monsters besieging him one by one. He hurriedly checked his quest and found that the progress of the quest had changed, and immediately understood that the one he had just killed was the black wood beast he was looking for.
Before he could rejoice, Kurokimon appeared again, and the number was still four. Looking a little further away, you can see more blackwood beasts attacking others, especially the stairs.
The flames could not ignite the rattan-like plants here, and the attack on the black wood beast also lost its original power. Instead, some of the woodwork that belonged here was ignited by the flames. It makes it a lot brighter.
By the light of the fire, Gao Feng saw a larger number of black wood beasts, and they kept pounced on the people who appeared here, making people overwhelmed. Gao Feng is the same here, if he kills a black wood beast, a new one will immediately pounce. The four black wood beasts that attacked Gao Feng could be said to have never been less.
The task of killing twenty monsters was completed quickly. But Gao Feng didn't have time to study the reward he had gotten. He must concentrate on dealing with the monsters that pounce on him. In the midst of the battle with the Black Wood Beast, Gao Feng slowly retreated to the stairs. Here in the staircase, there are more Black Wood Beasts. There were many people who had just died lying on the ground.
In just such a short time, the number of people who went down to the second floor was already half less. Those who walked farther were trapped by the black wood beasts. None of the people who went down the stairs were able to come back.
Looking at the stairs, Gao Feng quickly made a decision. He didn't go to the next floor, intending to retreat upstairs first. The stairs are full of black wood beasts, and if you want to go up, there is only one way, and that is to break through.
It's only a few steps up the stairs and a few steps up to the upper floor. But just this way, Gao Feng spent a lot of time and encountered a lot of dangers. When he went up to the upper floor, he found that there were also many black wood beasts on the upper floor. There are a lot of people here on the stairs who just died. On this level, except for Gao Feng, there were no other people in sight.
Gao Feng, who retreated to the top floor, slowly retreated to the entrance of the cave where he entered. He didn't leave, and continued to kill monsters here. There is a lot of experience and a lot of monsters here, so it's indeed a good place to get essence value.
One of the characteristics of the monsters here is that the number of monsters that attack you is limited within a certain range. As long as you don't get out of this range, no other monsters will come and attack you. It's like these monsters have their own area, and they won't collapse the area to actively attack.
After staying on the top floor for a while, Gao Feng suddenly found that the four black wood beasts that attacked Gao Feng had become three. After that, it continues to decrease until no more monsters appear to attack him. Gao Feng stood in place for half a minute, but he didn't see the monster appear. And the monsters in other places didn't come to attack him. He had to move to a place where there were monsters.
Soon Gao Feng discovered that as long as he held on to one place, after a certain number of monsters were eliminated, they would not appear again. Gao Feng kept killing and moving on this floor alone. Until all the monsters on this level are gone.
"Isn't it possible that if you kill them all, you won't show up?" Gao Feng thought in his heart.
He moved slowly, picking up the Essence Coin on the ground. I've been dealing with monsters all the time, and I don't have time to care about what happens after the monsters die.
"Fortunately, the corpses of the monsters will disappear soon, otherwise, this place would have been filled with the corpses of monsters a long time ago." Gao Feng, who was collecting the essence coins, said.
Gao Feng not only collected the essence coins left behind after the monster died, but also the things on the dead bodies here, he also did not let go. Looking at those dead bodies, Gao Feng was very helpless. If they hadn't come in, they probably wouldn't have died.
"Spirit Stone." Gao Feng exclaimed in surprise.
A piece of Imperial Spirit Stone was picked up by Gao Feng in his hand, which was also left behind after the monster died. Seeing this, Gao Feng was very happy. He hurriedly searched carefully, and soon, he found a spirit stone again.
"One is an offensive outfit, and the other is an anti-armor. I didn't expect this thing to come out of this place. Just killed so many monsters, and there were two pieces, which is really a bit less. Gao Feng muttered.
After putting away the Imperial Spirit Stone, Gao Feng carefully inspected this layer and picked up all the essence coins. Other than that, there are no equipment or ability scroll drops.
Standing on the top floor covered with plants, it's been about ten minutes, and there are still no monsters. Gao Feng looked at the hole he had entered, and then at the stairs. Eventually, he decided to go to the next level, and maybe the monsters there would be gone.
But when he got to the stairs, Gao Feng saw the existence of the black wood beast. By the time he rushed down the stairs, all he saw on this level was the same number of monsters as when he left.
