Chapter 967: Chapter 968: Wood Claw Polluter_1

The Misty Forest is a monster zone that players have never stepped foot in, with an abundance of monsters. The Forest Wanderers are just the most common monsters on the periphery; the deeper one ventures into the Misty Forest, the more numerous and higher-level the monsters become.

Song Jian repeatedly farmed the Forest Wanderers. He had used over a dozen Ice Swamp Scrolls; groups after groups of Forest Wanderers fell, and near the edge of the Misty Forest, the broken bodies of Forest Wanderers piled up, layer upon layer, endlessly; even the death flames couldn’t keep up with the speed at which Song Jian was farming monsters.

The respawn speed of the Forest Wanderers couldn’t keep up with Song Jian’s killing pace; each time he would lure out hundreds of monsters. In just over two hours, the number of Forest Wanderers Song Jian had killed had exceeded ten thousand.

The farming process was extremely tedious, and after getting proficient, the whole process became very mechanical and devoid of enjoyment. However, to become a powerhouse, this was a necessary stage that nobody could skip.

Song Jian’s level proficiency shot up rapidly. In just over two hours, he had already reached the halfway mark. As the number of Forest Wanderers he lured became fewer, Song Jian started to venture deeper into the Misty Forest.

Further in, there was the spawning area for Level 57 Woodclaw Contaminators. The appearance of the Woodclaw Contaminators was almost a carbon copy of the Forest Wanderers, only much larger in size. If Forest Wanderers were like ten-year-old trees, then Woodclaw Contaminators were at least fifty, or even a hundred years in growth.

In addition to their exaggerated wooden claws, Woodclaw Contaminators also had faint green poison mist hovering over their bodies. Song Jian could sense that these mutated treants were filled with evil magic power, as if they were transformed into their current state by someone.

The Woodclaw Contaminators were much stronger than the Forest Wanderers but moved even slower. For Song Jian, this was good news. However, delving deeper into the Misty Forest, the lack of open terrain made luring and aggregating monsters more difficult. But this couldn’t stump Song Jian; if there was no open area, he would simply create one.

Flames shot up into the sky, and the giant Karmic Fire Red Lotus blossomed deep in the forest, destroying large tracts of ancient trees with the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword Formation. Soon, Song Jian created an open area with a diameter of over a hundred meters. Then, he began to repeat the previous process of luring and killing monsters, his proficiency increasing at a remarkable rate.

While leveling up, Song Jian summoned Gulu, the slumbering stone man from his Pet Space, to share some of the experience and level up. Gulu’s level was somewhat low for Song Jian at the moment and wasn’t much help. However, Gulu had great potential and was worth cultivating.

In fact, the Black Dragon was the most worthy of cultivation, but it was currently guarding the Dragon Head Strange Tree in the Poisonous Swamp, presumably waiting for the tree to bear fruit again. Song Jian had no way to involve it.

Song Jian’s combat experience soared rapidly, once again causing a commotion among the players of Doomsday City.

By now, many players had reached Level 40, and looking at the despair-inducing Experience Points needed to level up from 40 to 41, many had temporarily given up on leveling and turned to explore other aspects of the game.

“Guild Leader, are the monsters in the Misty Forest easy to fight? Can you bring the Elite Team with you?” Wang Qi had been paying close attention to Song Jian’s level since he mentioned he would be farming monsters to level up. Seeing the speed at which Song Jian was gaining combat experience, Wang Qi was getting restless.

In the span of a day, Song Jian leveled from 46 to 47. His four 120-slot large backpacks were also completely filled, all with Level 5 materials and various equipment for Level 50 and above.

Silver-grade and lower Skill Books contributed too little to the progression of the Thousand Swords Art. Song Jian decided to save them to enhance the strength of his guildmates. It’s worth noting that even the silver-grade skills are very rare and valuable for regular players.

“The area is filled with monsters above level 55; it’s somewhat dangerous to level up here if you’re not at least level 50. The sheer number of monsters is overwhelming, and once surrounded, it’s easy to die!” Song Jian explained.

Although Song Jian seemed to be enjoying himself, ordinary players, even those who reached level 50, wouldn’t dare to farm here. The monsters possess basic entangling skills, so if you can’t defeat them, you won’t even be able to run;

Wood Claw Polluters exude a poison fog, which is less of an issue for ranged classes, but close combat fighters have to constantly battle within the poison fog, resulting in rapid health loss, not to mention the sensation of the fog corroding their flesh, like countless ants crawling over their skin—it’s incredibly uncomfortable;

“That being so, it seems the Elite Team can’t farm monsters here for leveling up just yet…” Wang Qi said, somewhat disappointed;

Although Doomsday City had many areas for farming monsters ranging from low to high levels, the city also had a large player population. Song Jian strictly forbade members of the City of Hope Alliance from monopolizing farming spots, thus the leveling speed was not very fast in Doomsday City; this was also why Song Jian had ventured outside of Doomsday City to level up.

After thinking it over, Song Jian said, “If they can make it here on their own, I can lead them for a few days!”

Most of the Elite Team were veterans who had followed Song Jian in establishing the City of Hope and were highly loyal to the alliance, as well as being the main force in external combat operations. Ensuring that the Elite Team maintained a level advantage was indeed essential;

Upon hearing this, Wang Qi immediately responded, “Great, I’ll organize the Elite Team to head over to you right now. By the way, do you need any supplies? I’ll have them bring it over to you!”

After checking his inventory of Ice Swamp Scrolls, Song Jian told Wang Qi, “I don’t need anything at the moment. Oh, and have a couple of brothers with large backpacks come along; my bag slots are all full!”

“Alright, and by the way, our brother at the auction house spotted an epic chainmail armor that suits you perfectly. I bought it for you. I’ll have someone from the Elite Team bring it to you later. The attributes of this piece of equipment are really good, item level 50, and you need to be level 45 to wear it!” Wang Qi said;

“Level 45 equipment? Are there already people who can kill bosses above level 45?” Song Jian was surprised. He knew that only lord-level bosses had a very small chance of dropping epic equipment, and almost all the epic equipment he had obtained had come from dominator-level bosses;

Moreover, lord-level bosses above level 45 weren’t something ordinary players could hunt, especially since they could summon swarms of minions, which was a headache for many;

“It’s said to be a five-person squad that managed to take it down. They didn’t form an alliance but created an elite team specifically for boss hunting…” Wang Qi explained;

After pondering for a moment, Song Jian said, “Try to get in touch with them, see if we can recruit them into the City of Hope Alliance, and offer them core member treatment!”
