The Strongest Sword God Reincarnation
Chapter 39. Philosopher's Stone

After leaving the Dark Moon Valley, Shi Feng rushed towards the Scarlet Lake. He also activated Gravity Liberation to save more time.

The players on the way to the Dark Moon Valley saw Shi Feng speed past them like a storm of victory. His speed was extremely fast, and his figure only looked blurry.

"Who is that guy? Which assassin is he? He's so fast!"

"No, look at his waist. It was a sword hanging there, not a dagger. He should be a Swordsman."

"It doesn't make sense. Is Swordmasn now an OP (Overpower)? Rumors were rife in the forums stating that the mysterious Swordsman killed the Mayor of Red Leaf Town. There was also a powerful Swordsman in the Forest of Death who received an invitation from the Snow Goddess. I'll play as a Swordsman if I knew about this before!"

"Say, do you think they're the same person?"

"Of course not. I saw the Swordsman who killed the Mayor. The male swordsman was as big as a black bear. His own arm is thicker than our thigh. He powerfully killed that Level 15 Mayor."

The passing players started the conversation as they watched Shi Feng leave. They fell silent inwardly towards the Swordsman Job. They were supposed to play as Swordsman if it was a powerful Job. But now it's too late. Shi Feng might laugh at him if he knew their thoughts. There were no strongest Jobs in the God's Domain, only the strongest players.

Shi Feng ran for over two hours through the vast plains. He activated Gravity Liberation over dozens of times, escaping from chasing high-leveled monsters. He passed through the Level 6 map, the Wolfman Ruins, and the Level 8 map, Fort Oro, before arriving at the Level 10 area, Scarlet Lake.

Scarlet Lake was the playground of the Water Elemental and Level 10 Little Fish-Man. Noticing from a high location, Shi Feng could see a group of Little Fishmen patrolling. The closer to Scarlet Lake, the more Little Fish-Man. The central region of Scarlet Lake was the lair of the Little Fishmen, while the annoying Water Elementals filled the lake water.

Due to the overcrowded and numerous monsters in Scarlet Lake, the curse skill of the Little Fishman was terrifying. It could absorb player Attributes and turn them into their own. The longer they fought, the stronger they became. They are very difficult to kill. Including the fact that there were no Missions here, there were rarely players willing to come here to level up.

However, Shi Feng had to enter a region deeper than Scarlet Lake.

The metal box dropped by Arcus Maddox was extremely valuable. If Arcus Maddox knew it had fallen into Shi Fengs hands, he would most likely bleed out from anger. There was a treasure map inside the box, and the treasure he had hidden was located in Scarlet Lake.

Shi Feng had been playing God's Domain for over ten years now. He had done extensive research on the history of the God's Domain.

He really did not think Arcus Maddox would have this treasure map. It was a secret record that shook heaven.

Nine hundred years ago, the Alchemy Master Molotov had made an item with all his efforts. Wars were fought between the major countries in the God's Domain to fight over this item. There were more than ten heroic figures fighting over it. However, in the end this item disappeared, its whereabouts unknown. It had become an unsolved mystery in the God's Domain.

Meanwhile, the treasure map in Shi Fengs hands, coincidentally, recorded the location of this item. This item is the Philosopher's Stone.

It was a sacred object to Alchemy. If Alchemists could obtain the Philosopher's Stone, then they would have the ability to turn the stone into gold, amassing enormous wealth. They would even be able to revive the dead, breaking the law of equal alchemy exchange.

Who would have thought such a sacred object would be placed in such an unusual location like Scarlet Lake.

However, Scarlet Lake was still a dangerous place for Shi Feng. After all, there was still an 8 Level gap between Shi Feng and the monsters here. With the pressure due to the level, Shi Feng was not an opponent for a Level 10 monster, not to mention the theft of the Attribute belonging to the Little Fishman.

But, Shi Feng could not resist but take the risk. The sooner he obtained the Philosopher's Stone; the sooner his heart could be at peace. If he waited until he was Level 7 or 8, others would probably claim the item. He would not even be able to feel regret when that time came.

Shi Feng took out a metal box from his bag, carefully taking out the treasure map inside. He began to look into it in detail.

The marking on the treasure map was very clear. The treasure was located right under the nest of the Little Fishman. However, how could Shi Feng circle all of these Little Fish Humans? The problem with the Water Elemental also needed to be solved. Although Elemental Air had low HP, they had 60% immunity to physical attacks. They also had Movement Speed reduction skills, so they made a headache for melee players.

After observing for half an hour, Shi Feng discovered that the Little Fishmen were not always patrolling. They will rest. Also, this Little Fish-Man was only active by the lake. They almost never get into the water, because once they enter, their Movement Speed will be drastically reduced by 60%. Shi Feng could use this short rest period to rush into the lake, and once he was inside, those Little Fish-Man would not be able to catch up to him.

If Shi Feng did not execute his plan appropriately, he would definitely die. If he were to die, his losses would not be small. But, it is not the loss of experience that is the problem. With his advantage as a reincarnated person, Shi Feng could quickly recover lost experiences. Merely, he would be sent back to the city after dying once, and the time he wasted to return here would be too much.

"Ten seconds left." Shi Feng watched the patrolling Little Fishman, inwardly estimating the time for him to run out.

Time passed by second by second. A group of patrolling Fishmen scanned their surroundings. After not finding anything unusual, they entered a small wooden hut by the lake to rest, emptying the ground by the lake.

With all his might, Shi Feng dashed towards the edge of the lake.

When Shi Feng was about 30 meters away from the lake, the other patrolling Fish-Man group discovered Shi Feng. They immediately sounded the alarm, their hands holding a short sword as they dashed towards Shi Feng.

When faced with four Level 10 Little Fish-Man, as strong as Shi Feng, he was not their match. Shi Fengs only hope was to jump into the water.

However, that Little Fishman was extremely fast, requiring only a short period of time to catch up to Shi Feng. They waved their short swords, slashing them at Shi Fengs back.

Shi Feng knew he could not outrun the Fish-Man. He turned around and used the Hell Bond on one of them, then proceeded to use the Stalk to block one of the attackers. As a result, Shi Feng stopped the other Little Fish-Man from moving forward.

Using the power behind the attacks of the Fish-Man, Shi Feng managed to widen the distance by over three meters. He activated Gravity Liberation and then jumped into the lake.

However, the other Little Fishmen quickly gave chase, jumping into the lake after Shi Feng jumped.

Plop.

Four Little Fishmen fell into the water. Yet Shi Feng, walked swiftly over the surface of the lake.

[Walking on Water] was a skill that could only be activated once Agility reached 80 points. However, Shi Feng had a Ring of Gravity. As a result, his body had reached a state of almost weightlessness after activating Gravity Liberation. Including his Dexterity which was over 30 points, he could also move on the surface of the water. The speed will not decrease because of the water.

In a moment, Shi Feng had shaken the unyielding Little Fishmen. He ran to a location not far from the lair of the Little Fishmen, diving into the water.

Right after entering the water, Shi Feng discovered a cave surrounded by many Water Elementals. The Water Elementals surrounded the cave as if they were protecting something.

[Elemental Water] (General Monsters)

HP 750/750

Shi Feng used a Killing Illusion. His doppelganger swam, luring the Water Elemental.

Just as Shi Feng had planned, a group of Water Elementals had discovered the doppelganger. One after another, they chased after the doppelganger. Meanwhile, the doppelganger swam upwards. Although the Water Elemental had a high Movement Speed underwater, it was an entirely different story when they were above ground. They were the opposite of the Little Fish-Man, becoming extremely slow once they reached the edge of the lake.

With the Water Elementals lured by his doppelganger, Shi Feng took the opportunity to swim swiftly towards the cave.

Before Shi Feng even reached the cave, the system informed him of his doppelganger's death. The doppelganger only gave Shi Feng over 20 seconds.

After killing the doppelganger, the Water Elemental found an intruder near the cave. They all hurriedly swam back to the entrance of the cave.

After finding Shi Feng, the speed of these Water Elementals doubled as they sped towards Shi Feng.
