Chapter 3: Kill the Misty Monsters

“Seriously? Seriously? Someone is selling water?”

“Shoot! He’s a big shot. Master Xia, do you need a loyal servant?”

“Can anybody tell me what the Water Spiritual Rune is? I humbly seek an answer.”

“So much water…”

Xia Feng read the messages in the public channel.

While everybody was discussing it heatedly, none really bought the water.

It was mostly because they hadn’t been on the Misty Islands for long, and they weren’t too thirsty yet.

Xia Feng didn’t expect anyone to buy the water already, either. He simply put it on the market. If anyone bought it, it’d be great; if nobody did, he wouldn’t lose anything anyway.

Noticing the 99+ private messages, Xia Feng opened a few random ones and read them.

He simply closed the game menu after realizing that none of them was a buyer.

All the thousands of private messages were marked as read.

Then, Xia Feng moved to the red plants.

[Bleeding Stopper: This is an herb that can stop bleeding. It’s rather common on the Misty Islands.]

After reading the note, Xia Feng squatted and picked the herbs.

A few minutes later, no Bleeding Stoppers could be seen in this area anymore.

[System notification: Bleeding Stopper +8]

Circling the island and reading the hints of all the four trails, Xia Feng walked to Island No.4.

On the third island, Xia Feng opened a Wooden Chest.

He got two 500g pieces of bread and two 500ml bottles of water.

Apart from them, he also got Wood +6 and Iron +2.

After looting the third island, Xia Feng set foot on the fourth island with the help of the hints.

On this island, Xia Feng opened a Bronze Chest, and acquired the Recipe of Exquisite Sharp Long Saber as well as Iron +2.

[Recipe of Exquisite Sharp Long Saber: This can produce a very sharp long saber. It’s not a spiritual weapon, but it’s still sharp enough.]

Xia Feng opened the craft menu.

[Exquisite Sharp Long Saber: Iron 4/4, Bronze 8/4]

He clicked “Craft”.

[System notification: Iron -4, Bronze -4]

[System notification: You’ve successfully crafted an Exquisite Sharp Long Saber.]

A long heavy saber appeared in Xia Feng’s hands and shined coldly.

He tore off a hair, and threw it at the edge of the saber, and the hair was cut off immediately.

The sharpness of the long saber was quite obvious.

On the fourth island, Xia Feng also harvested four stones and six purple vines.

The purple vines all grew up around a stone pillar.

So far, Xia Feng had already found a lot of items.

Materials: 18 Wood (he had decomposed two Wooden Chests), six Stone, four Iron, eight Bleeding Stoppers, and six Purple Vines.

Food: two 200g bags of compressed biscuits, four 500ml bottles of water, and two 500g pieces of bread.

Weapons: one Ordinary Stone Spear and one Exquisite Sharp Long Saber.

Special Items: one Fire Spiritual Rune, one Source Crystal, Recipe of Exquisite Water Purifier, and Recipe of Exquisite Sharp Long Saber.

At this moment, it was merely nine in the morning. Xia Feng’s exploration was definitely rewarding.

After sorting out the items, Xia Feng began to examine the trails that were connected to the fourth island.

Xia Feng circled the island and stopped.

He had a problem.

The fourth island was connected to three trails, but none of the islands that those trails led to was easy to pass through.

[Island No.1: A bunch of killer bees nest here. Don’t come unless you want to kill yourself.]

[Island No.2: A highly aggressive Shadow Cat has claimed this place, and is ready to give birth. Don’t approach it right now.]

[Island No.3: This island was drowned by seawater and occupied by sea creatures. You’ll die without any bones left if you come.]

None of the three islands was easy to pass.

Xia Feng carefully examined the three hints.

The first island had killer bees. It shouldn’t be hard if he had any equipment that could cover his body up.

But the problem was that he didn’t have any.

The second island had a highly aggressive monster which, judging from the description, wasn’t easy to deal with.

There was no need to mention the third island that was occupied by sea creatures.

It was impossible for Xia Feng to pass unless he could fly or build a boat.

As he considered the three hints carefully, Xia Feng’s eyes glittered.

He came to Trail No.2, and stepped forward after a moment of hesitation.

He lowered his head, and the golden words popped up again.

If this is the case, then there’ll be a solution for me.

Xia Feng looked at the hint, and moved ahead slowly.

Eventually, he stopped in front of the glittering membrane and waited patiently.

Xia Feng checked the golden hint every three minutes.

While he waited, he opened the game menu, and entered the trade module.

[Seller: Xia Feng-0364133458]

[Item to be sold: 500g of bread]

[Item desired: 1 Water Spiritual Rune]

[Alternative: N/A]

[Stock: 1]

Xia Feng put a piece of bread on sale.

It instantly raised another round of exclamations.

“Look, Master Xia Feng is selling food this time!”

“Master Xia Feng, do you need a bed warmer? You can do anything to me as long as you give me one piece of bread.”

“So, what is the Water Spiritual Rune exactly? Why does he want it so badly?”

Time flew quickly as he read the messages. An hour passed.

In order to maintain his condition, Xia Feng had 100g of the biscuits and half a bottle of water as he waited.

After Xia Feng finished the food and read the hint again, his pupils constricted.

[Island No.2: A highly aggressive Shadow Cat has claimed this place, and is about to give birth. DO NOT approach it right now.]

The hint had changed from “ready to give birth” to “about to give birth”.

It was about what Xia Feng had anticipated.

Then, Xia Feng stared at the hint and kept waiting.

After another 15 minutes, the hint changed again.

[Island No.2: A highly aggressive Shadow Cat has claimed this place, and is giving birth. If you want to deal with it, you’d better wait for a minute before you go in.]

One minute.

Xia Feng counted down, and took out the Exquisite Sharp Long Saber.

“One, two, three… 27, 28, 29… 58, 59, 60… Now is the time!”

Finishing the countdown, Xia Feng stepped through the glittering membrane and emerged on the fifth island.

The moment he arrived, he fixed his eyes on the center of the island.

There, a black cat whose shoulder height was more than one meter was struggling to give birth on the ground.

“Hoooooooo….”

After Xia Feng appeared out of nowhere, the Shadow Cat roared, hoping to scare him off.

Xia Feng had a moment of hesitation, and wondered if he should retreat.

However, seeing how enfeebled the Shadow Cat was, he changed his mind.

“Let me kill it!”

Xia Feng gritted his teeth, and charged forward with the Exquisite Long Saber.

There were only eight meters between them. Xia Feng soon approached the Shadow Cat and slashed it.

The Shadow Cat was in the middle of childbirth, and couldn’t dodge effectively at all. It could only turn its body to prevent its vitals from being hit.

Pu.

Blood splashed out after the Exquisite Long Saber left a long and narrow wound on the Shadow Cat.

The wound was almost 40 centimeters long, and blood was gushing out.

“Hoooooooo….”

The Shadow Cat groaned in pain.

With its eyes bloodshot, the Shadow Cat exerted strength in its hindquarters, and squeezed its cub to death.

After that, it quickly rose and lunged at Xia Feng madly.

Xia Feng was already prepared for that. When the Shadow Cat lunged at him, he put the Exquisite Long Saber back, and stabbed it with the Stone Spear.

Pu.

The Stone Spear penetrated the Shadow Cat’s body from its neck, yet it simply ignored it, and opened its mouth at Xia Feng, trying to die together with its enemy.

Naturally, Xia Feng wouldn’t be hit. He let go of the Stone Spear, and grabbed the Exquisite Long Saber before he slashed the Shadow Cat’s mouth horizontally.

Without any surprise, the sharp long saber killed the Shadow Cat easily.
