The words of the Asura Hall's president left Dongfang Yue fuming.
But in this situation, she really didn't dare to make any harsh remarks.
Originally, her relationship with the Asura Hall was merely a hired cooperation. If things went south, it wouldn't benefit her at all.
"Revolt, revolt, a bunch of lowlifes..."
"Wait until I take down Shadow, then I'll deal with you."
"Do you really think that just because of the Abandoned Gods Game, you lowlifes can overturn the heavens?"
Dongfang Yue coldly closed the private chat window.
Then, she picked up her phone and called her husband: "Honey~ yes, our son came up with a plan to deal with Shadow..."
A middle-aged man's voice came from the other end: "Wife, you should stop."
Dongfang Yue was displeased: "He killed my whole family, and you want me to stop?"
The middle-aged man sighed: "Sigh. If you really act against Shadow now, even my elder brothers won't stand by you... In this situation, if you provoke Shadow, no one can save you."
Dongfang Yue sneered: "Isn't he just an assassin who can't see the light of day? I have a foolproof plan!"
Then, she explained her plan.
"First, find a group of people to offend Shadow. I've already decided on the candidates."
"Given Shadow's personality, he won't let them go, right? We'll place those people in our fireworks factory and then leak the address to Shadow..."
"As soon as Shadow shows up and kills those people, we'll detonate all the fireworks! He won't have time to escape!"
"Even if he can go invisible, he's not invincible. Caught in the explosion, he's bound to die!"
After explaining her plan, Dongfang Yue asked, "So, what do you think? As long as we can take down Shadow, he has at least a few thousand years of life! Even if we only get half, it would help us accumulate more capital!"
After hearing Dongfang Yue's plan, her husband fell into deep thought.
Finally, after considering for a few minutes, her husband said, "Alright, your plan works, let's do it. But it must be kept secret. My elder brothers would never agree to this... We'll talk after Shadow is dealt with!"
...
Meanwhile, Dongfang Yue and her husband were plotting to lure Qin Feng.
They had no idea that Qin Feng had no intention of acting personally this time!
With the little Lolita Ghost Spirit around, Qin Feng didn't need to waste time on these people.
And when Ghost Spirit took action, she naturally aimed directly at Dongfang Yue herself.
Although Qin Feng didn't know how that girl found Dongfang Yue in reality... she found her in the previous life, so she could naturally find her in this one.
Of course, before Ghost Spirit went for revenge, Qin Feng needed to give her some advice...
If she was willing to listen, then this assassination would be perfect!
Otherwise, it would be like the last life, leaving evidence for others...
Cave of the Ice Tide.
Qin Feng had just dealt with a wave of monsters, and the 'Cursed Slate of the Ancient God of Calamity' was successfully charged!
He opened the equipment interface.
Then used it on the 'Mutated Witch's Ring'.
——
[You have added 'Utos's Curse' to the 'Mutated Witch's Ring'!]
[Utos's Curse]
[Positive Affix: Skill range increased by 75%]
[Negative Affix: Area damage reduced by 42%]
[Do you want to keep this curse? If you keep this curse, the Utos's Curse on the 'Black Flame Ceremony: Piercing Leather Armor' will be nullified!]
[Yes/No]
——
Seeing the system prompt, Qin Feng was puzzled.
The positive effect of this curse was quite abnormal!
A 75% increase in skill range!
Applying this to Shadow Blink Slash, Night Ring Blade, or even Venomous Trap would be a huge boost.
But the key issue was that the negative effect was too deadly.
"If it were the other way around, increasing damage and reducing range would be more acceptable..."
Qin Feng shook his head.
He could only choose to cancel it.
Currently, the curse effect on the 'Black Flame Ceremony' armor was quite good, reducing all defense and elemental resistance of the target to zero.
The higher the level of the boss, the more significant the curse's effect.
"If only there were more Ancient God Slates."
Qin Feng didn't think too much.
Just as he closed the equipment interface, another wave of monsters began to attack from the surrounding passages!
Wave after wave of monsters attacked.
Soon, even some Bronze and Silver-tier bosses appeared.
If these boss monsters weren't dealt with early, the Ice Tide Crystal would be extremely vulnerable to being shattered!
Fortunately, Qin Feng's damage output was more than sufficient.
When a boss appeared, he would directly use 'Gift of Liberation', activate its active effect, and any skill he threw out could take down the boss!
The nine passages soon became littered with countless monster corpses!
Qin Feng didn't even have time to use 'Greedy Hand'.
He kept running around, setting traps, and if he didn't have time to set traps, he could only use other skills to clear the monsters.
Fortunately, the Epic-level 'Venomous Trap' was very effective!
During the defense, the entire Cave of the Ice Tide was filled with green poisonous mist.
In Qin Feng's view, everywhere was filled with damage caused by the poison effect...
One kill notification after another, waves of experience and life were ruthlessly harvested by Qin Feng!
Finally...
After nearly an hour.
Qin Feng had taken down over ten waves of monster attacks in the Cave of the Ice Tide!
Each wave of monsters numbered in the hundreds.
When he withstood the simultaneous attack of the last wave of over three hundred monsters, the defense mission was finally completed!
"Fortunately, I'm an Assassin, and don't need mana to cast skills..."
"If I were a Mage or something, with insufficient endurance, this task would be really tough."
Qin Feng thought to himself.
When the last wave of over three hundred rotting monsters was poisoned to death in the surrounding passages, his level directly rose from 15 to 16!
And, as expected, a dazzling golden chest appeared before him.
An Epic-level chest!
Just like the one in the temple last time!
"Last time, the Epic chest gave me the Assassin's divine skill, Gift of Liberation."
"What will I get this time?"
Although Qin Feng was expectant, he didn't act rashly.
Under the bluish glow of the Ice Tide Crystal, he continuously surveyed the entire cave, listening to all the sounds near and far...
Only after several minutes did Qin Feng confirm that there was no problem.
He stepped forward to open the chest!
——
[Congratulations, you have obtained 'Bafitch's Equivalent Exchange Agreement (Epic)'!]
[Bafitch's Equivalent Exchange Agreement (Epic): Assassin-class armor (legs). Physical Defense +198, All Elemental Resistance +198, Damage Block +198, Damage Reduction +19.8%. Equipment Requirement: Level 15]
[Special: Whisper Resistance +19.8]
[Art of Equivalent Exchange: Sacrifice a piece of equipment/skill book no higher than Epic-level to randomly obtain a piece of equipment/skill book for your class (level and grade unchanged). Cooldown 1 hour!]
——
"Epic equipment?"
"Leg armor for Assassins!"
Qin Feng's eyes lit up.
The special effect is 'Art of Equivalent Exchange', which can convert equipment and skill books of other classes into items for his class!
For example, a 'Fireball' skill book, which is useless to Qin Feng, can be converted into an Assassin skill, like Subshadow, Assassinate, Backstab... the specifics depend on luck.
This is definitely useful for Qin Feng!
After all, his development is too advanced now, and many of the equipment/skill books he acquires can't be used by other players due to level restrictions.
This makes them hard to sell even if he wants to.
In fact, by now, Qin Feng's tradable lifespan has overflowed quite a bit.
He needs to focus more on enhancing his in-game strength rather than earning lifespan.
This Epic-level leg armor will allow Qin Feng to develop even faster!
"There are still quite a few Emerald-tier equipment and skill books at home, all of which can be converted into items for Assassins!"
Now Qin Feng was thrilled!
Just then...
In the cave enveloped by the icy blue glow, a graceful white figure began to gather in front of Qin Feng!
This made Qin Feng's expression change slightly, and he immediately became vigilant.
Was it the white-robed woman from last time?
