Chapter 140: Shennong Cauldron trial
With the effects of “Shadowless” disappearing in the forest, Feng Xiao unwillingly tried several times before finally giving up. He increased his speed and charged through the dark forest. After running for several hours, although it wouldn’t increase the fatigue of his body, he couldn’t avoid his mind getting tired. Feng Xiao focused his mind as he charged forward, occasionally using the Dragon Flame Slash to take down several Black Tree Demons in front of him. Every time, the “burning” effect of his attack took the lives of the Black Tree Demon after a minute.
The Black Tree Demons weren’t that much stronger than the Green Tree Demons, so Feng Xiao’s path wasn’t slowed by that much. After another three hours, he finally became impatient and prepared to use the Space Gate to return to the city.
“Ding, there is a strong barrier on the map you’re in. You cannot use the Space Gate!”
The system notification surprised him because he hadn’t noticed any traces of a barrier. After being a bit doubtful, he used a few minutes to clear out the Black Tree Demons around him before logging out in place.
After eating dinner, Feng Xiao had recovered his mental state and logged on again. He appeared in the mysterious underground forest again.
“Wan’er, did you notice something?”
“It’s like an illusory space, but also it’s like a real space.” Wan’er replied.
“Un! The space is an illusion, but these guarding tree demons are real and there’s no traces of circulation. So there must be an end to this space!” Feng Xiao calmly said.
As soon as Feng Xiao’s words fell, he suddenly found that he had left the range of the Black Tree Demons.
“Hu……I’m finally out.” Feng Xiao let out a long sigh of relief. He had been worried that there would be some kind of white or red tree demon that would also appear.
“Big brother Feng, it’s the Shennong Cauldron! The Shennong Cauldron is in front of us!” Xuanyuan Wan’er excitedly shouted.
In the empty space in front of him, there was an emerald bronze cauldron that had a green glow around it, as well as the scent of herbs. It was no different from a normal cauldron, being around the size of a palm. If it wasn’t for Feng Xiao paying attention to everything around him, he might have even missed it.
“This is the legendary Shennong Cauldron?” Feng Xiao had a look of disbelief on his face because he thought that this Shennong Cauldron was too small. He slowly moved towards the Shennong Cauldron and with each step, the fresh scent he smelled became stronger. This was a scent that he wasn’t familiar with, but he knew that this was the aura of life.
Taking the Shennong Cauldron in his hand, Feng Xiao impatiently looked at its stats.
Sealed Shennong Cauldron: The Shennong Cauldron of the Ten Ancient Divine Artifacts. Tens of thousands of years ago, during the war of gods and demons, it was sealed because it was used to form the ‘God Executing Array’ and then fell in this place for an unknown reason. In order to prevent its source divine power from disappearing, it had been absorbing the surrounding life aura for tens of thousands of years, slowly creating a life space to protect itself.
Effects: None.
Feng Xiao poked the Shennong Cauldron with his left hand and thought, “Blood!”
A deep green glow came from the Shennong Cauldron as the powerful life energy made Feng Xiao relax. Xiao Xiao who had been laying on Xiao Bai’s head in a drowsy manner also felt this powerful energy and focused its mind as it stood up to look at the green glow in Feng Xiao’s hand with a curious look.
The strong green glow lasted for a long time. Feng Xiao had a comfortable look as he bathed in this fresh aura. When the glow finally disappeared, Feng Xiao opened his eyes and was stunned.
The Shennong Cauldron in his hand was gone!
At the same time, the area around him started to change. There was a glowing green barrier that slowly formed around Feng Xiao, cutting him off from the space around him.
“Ding, you have triggered the Hidden Quest ‘Shennong Cauldron Trial’. Once this is accepted, unless the user dies, they will not be able to leave the Shennong Cauldron Space. Once the quest is complete, the user can obtain the acknowledgement of the Shennong Cauldron and the right to take the Shennong Cauldron.”
“Ding, the Shennong Cauldron thanks you for breaking its seal and has lowered the difficulty of the trial as much as possible. Do you accept this quest?”
“Accept!”
Feng Xiao really wanted to die. He thought that spending seven hours to cross this forest that normal people couldn’t cross in half a year was already a very hard trial, but he never thought that the trial hadn’t begun yet.
“Big brother Feng, is that very surprising?”
“A bit. An Ancient Divine Artifact isn’t that easy to get.”
“Of course. Ancient Divine Artifacts have their own intelligence and dignity, you can only take them if you receive their acknowledgement. Big brother Feng, you have to be careful. Although the difficulty has been lowered as much as possible, this is the Shennong Cauldron’s trial, so you can’t let your guard down.”
“I understand……Humph, it’s coming.”
“Ding! First trial, eliminate all the Phoenix Feather Lighting Eagle.”
As soon as the notification disappeared, there were several flashes in the air of the green space before more than a dozen strange looking birds with long tails appeared.
Phoenix Feather Lighting Eagle:
Level: 45
HP: 7500
A special bird formed from life energy that has the body of a hawk, the head of an eagle, and the feathers of a phoenix. Although it’s a normal monster, it has been greatly strengthened.
Weakness: Weak against dark and undead attacks. Undead resistance -50%, dark resistance -50%.
Innate Skills:
Life Body: Automatically recovers 3000 HP per second.
Skills:
Feather Shaking Lightning Strike: A quick charging attack done with the flap of a wing that people can’t dodge.
Phoenix Feather Mist: Releases phoenix feathers in the surrounding space. When the slowly falling feathers touch something, they will slowly absorb life energy until the target dies.
Feng Xiao didn’t have to worry about being able to recover their full HP in just three seconds, it was that second skill that made his heart beat fast. These Lightning Eagles lived up to their name as they charged at Feng Xiao as fast as lightning as soon as they appeared.
Feng Xiao quickly dodged the attacks of seven of them. There were five that came from behind that hit him right in the back, dealing around 2000 damage to him. At the same time, without waiting for Feng Xiao to react, they had already flown back into the sky so he didn’t have a chance to counterattack.
“You think that I don’t have a way to deal with you?” Feng Xiao quickly rode Xiao Bai forward while also sending out a Wind Wheel Slash into the air.
Miss, miss.
This situation that Feng Xiao never encountered before made him stunned.
With the Wind’s Spirit, his current accuracy was 1063, which was an accuracy that even a level 50 archer can’t match. But how attacks had actually missed against these normal monsters and they had missed more than once.
At the same time, he noticed that with his 1122 evasion, the attacks hadn’t missed a single time just now.
“Although they are normal monsters, they are greatly strengthened.” Feng Xiao suddenly understood what this meant.
“Xiao Bai, knock them down for me!”
Xiao Bai received this order and its eyes glowed purple as it opened its mouth to roar into the sky. The Lightning Eagles in the sky all trembled before receiving a fear and stun debuff, falling to the ground.
Feng Xiao charged to the side of a Lightning Eagle and sent out two Dragon Flame Slashes.
Miss, miss, -1964, miss, miss, miss.
Feng Xiao was completely stunned. Out of the six attacks, only one had hit!
