Conquer the game world

Chapter 25 Inside the Barrier (6)

"Ah, I didn't hold on tight." Just as the arrow was released, Ye Feng, looking like an idiot, shouted out in a daze.

At this moment, Shi Lei was probably cursing Ye Feng a thousand times over in his mind, or perhaps he was already thinking about what he hadn't done yet, or what girl he hadn't gotten his hands on. And...

In short, at that moment, Shi Lei was almost in despair. If he tried to block the arrow, he would definitely expose an opening, and the leader would certainly not let such an opportunity pass. He was doomed.

If I hadn't blocked that arrow, I would undoubtedly be dead. I never imagined I, Shi Lei, would trust an idiot, and that I would die at the hands of an idiot. These were Shi Lei's last thoughts before he died.

Meanwhile, the leader on the other side was overjoyed at the unexpected arrow, but at the same time, he was also annoyed that he had been frightened by an idiot, causing him to hesitate in the fight just now.

However, the leader was well prepared. If Shi Lei chose to block the arrow, he would undoubtedly be killed instantly.

While both sides were preoccupied with their own thoughts, the arrow had already reached Shi Lei. At this moment, Ye Feng was no longer the idiot who had shot the wrong arrow earlier.

With a thought, Ye Feng's arrow changed direction instantly before it reached Shi Lei, heading straight for the leader.

Neither Shi Lei nor the leader expected this. The leader, in particular, was focused on killing Shi Lei and had no time to react to the arrow flying at such close range.

With a "whoosh," the arrow pierced solidly into the leader's chest.

At the same time, Shi Lei snapped out of his daze. His first thought after regaining his composure was that he was still alive. At the same time, Shi Lei saw the arrow that had pierced into the leader's body.

Although he couldn't understand what was going on, Shi Lei obviously wouldn't let such an opportunity pass. With a swing of his giant axe, he killed the leader who had no power to resist.

After swinging the axe, Shi Lei was still terrified. He had practically walked the line between life and death, and he even thought he was going to die. Unexpectedly, the arrow miraculously hit the leader. Although he didn't know how it happened, Shi Lei knew in his heart that it must have been Ye Feng's doing.

"Wow, I can't believe I actually hit the target even though I accidentally let it slip. I'm so lucky." Ye Feng said as he walked forward, rummaging through the leader's belongings.

However, this time Ye Feng still only got an identity token and nothing else. Although Ye Feng really wanted to use the undead rabbit to transport the token away immediately, he couldn't do so with Shi Lei watching. After thinking about it, he gave up. After all, the undead are generally disliked.

"Come on, it must have been you who did this. Stop pretending. But couldn't you have told me sooner? I thought I was going to die." Shi Lei didn't believe that hitting the target was just luck and said helplessly from the side.

Regardless of what Shi Lei thought, Ye Feng didn't care. Now that the leader's troubles were resolved, the next step was to deal with the stone monster in front of them.

Compared to the Lion Faction members, killing a stone monster was much easier for Ye Feng. After all, the stone monster wasn't that intelligent. After throwing an explosive at it, the stone monster transformed and attacked Ye Feng and his group.

"Wow, what is this thing?" Shi Lei had never seen such a monster before. He and Ye Feng retreated to create distance between themselves and the stone monster, shouting as they did so.

The Stone Monster is incredibly powerful; any movement it makes after standing up can create a huge crater in the ground.

Seeing this scene, Shi Lei and Ye Feng wouldn't be foolish enough to go up and fight the stone monster head-on. They could only keep their distance while using explosives to wear it down.

Although the stone monster was very powerful, it was very slow, which was exactly what Ye Feng had expected. Sure enough, this kind of overpowered monster had a big weakness.

While using explosives to wear down the stone monster, they slowly lured it into the trap they had set.

The stone monster wasn't that intelligent, so Ye Feng didn't bother to hide the trap and just placed it there openly.

As expected, the stone monster easily walked into the trap Ye Feng had set. Ye Feng quickly activated the trap, and after a series of explosions, the stone monster was finally blasted into a pile of rocks. "Ye Feng, where did you get so much explosives? And this stone can even move! I've learned something new!" Shi Lei exclaimed in astonishment from the side. Shi Lei assumed that the explosive traps and potions Ye Feng used were the same kind of gunpowder used by ordinary soldiers and officials.

Ye Feng had no time to pay attention to Shi Lei; his attention was now focused on a pile of stones on the ground. Sure enough, after a careful search, Ye Feng found a broken yellow gemstone in a crevice between the stones.

Gems can be socketed into weapons and equipment to enhance their attributes. For example, yellow gems increase lightning damage and resistance, blue gems increase frost damage and resistance, red gems increase fire damage and resistance, and green gems increase poison damage and resistance. There are also diamonds that increase damage against undead monsters.

Although Ye Feng only obtained a common yellow gem, and it was even broken, it was enough to satisfy him. After all, gems are not easy to obtain in the game, especially perfect gems, which are synthesized step by step from broken gems.

Having settled everything, Ye Feng remembered that there was a big guy named Shi Lei next to him, and the current situation was roughly under Ye Feng's control.

Firstly, because of the initial surprise attack by the Lion Faction, although many isolated and small-group Stardust Sect disciples were killed, the Stardust Sect disciples gradually realized what was happening and have now gathered into several scattered teams. Although the number of people is uneven, they have managed to barely hold off the Lion Faction's attack.

In addition, there were several other locations where stone monsters existed. Ye Feng didn't want to miss this opportunity to obtain gems. After considering it for a moment, he decided to kill the stone monsters first. After all, there weren't many of them, and it wouldn't take much time. Moreover, if he wasn't quick, someone else might get there first. Ye Feng's undead bird had already discovered that some Lion Faction teams had encountered stone monsters. Although they suffered some losses, they had still successfully killed the stone monsters.

However, Ye Feng was still not entirely at ease with the Stardust Sect. After all, the number of people in each of the temporarily assembled teams was not very large. If the Lion Faction discovered this and several teams joined forces to launch an attack on the Stardust Sect, it would probably be difficult to withstand them.

With that thought in mind, Ye Feng made a decision. He took out a map from his package, a rough route map that he had recently drawn himself.

"Shi Lei, come here, take this. Go check here, here, and these other places. If you see any Stardust Sect disciples, have them gather together." Ye Feng marked several locations on the map, which were the current locations of several Stardust Sect teams.

"I think you've also sensed it; the Lion Faction is gathering together. If our team is too scattered, we'll all be wiped out sooner or later. We must act quickly on this matter, understand?" Ye Feng said solemnly.

Shi Lei was originally a proud and arrogant guy. If it were any other time, if Ye Feng dared to speak to him like that, Shi Lei would have already lost his temper. However, today, because Ye Feng and he killed the leader of the ninth-level Spirit Light Realm warriors together, and then killed a stone man who appeared out of nowhere, Shi Lei no longer thought that Ye Feng was an easy-to-bully first-level Spirit Light Realm warrior.

Moreover, Shi Lei also realized that Ye Feng's blade was originally meant to stop him from advancing and getting close to the stone monster. Although Shi Lei looked rough, he was actually quite thoughtful.

Especially now that Ye Feng has produced this map from who-knows-where, what does this map mean? It is said that even the elders do not know the situation here. Ye Feng actually has a map, which means that Ye Feng either knows a lot about this place or has other means.

From any perspective, Shi Lei felt he should believe Ye Feng's words and quickly gather his fellow disciples to resist the Lion Clan. Especially since he had previously encountered a group of Lion Clan members, Shi Lei absolutely did not believe it was a coincidence that the Lion Clan could gather so many people so quickly.

This was a matter of life and death for Shi Lei, so he dared not be careless. He solemnly took the map from Ye Feng and said to Ye Feng, "Don't worry, I guarantee I will complete the mission."

"We can't stay here any longer. I have other things to do. Let's split up and move on quickly," Ye Feng said. The token from the guy we killed earlier hadn't been taken away. Staying here too long would easily expose us, so we had to leave as soon as possible.

As they were talking, Ye Feng had already chosen a direction and was running off in the opposite direction from where Shi Lei was going. In order not to be disturbed, Ye Feng chose to act alone, since the routes here were complicated and some places could be reached by taking a detour.

As for Ye Feng saying he had something to do, it was obviously to kill other stone monsters. Only after obtaining the first gem did Ye Feng feel that the trip was worthwhile, as he had initially thought there wouldn't be anything good to be found.

"boom"

After another explosion, this was the seventh of these stone monsters that Ye Feng had dealt with. However, he only found gems inside four of them. Ye Feng was already very satisfied with this probability. It was just a pity that there should have been ten stone monsters; two were encountered and killed by the Lion Sect, and the other was killed by a disciple of the Stardust Sect.

At the same time, Shi Lei also fulfilled Ye Feng's request and gathered the remaining Star Dust Sect disciples. Due to the attack by the Lion Sect, and the possibility that some disciples were hiding and could not be found, the Star Dust Sect disciples gathered together now only have half the number left compared to when they entered.

After regrouping, the Stardust Sect switched from defense to offense and successfully ambushed and killed one of the Lion Sect's teams. Following this attack, which was also the moment Ye Feng killed the seventh stone monster, a violent tremor occurred within the entire barrier space...
