Chapter 28: Frenzied Dungeon Runs, Entering Level-Up Mode

Moreover, the Wind Staff seemed to possess some special properties. When wielded by a mage-type profession, it could increase their attributes by five percent. For Yang Feng, using Fireball with the Wind Staff seemed to enhance its effect. Unfortunately, the Crow Warrior was not a mage, so the staff had no effect on it.

At this moment, a dazzling white light burst forth from Yang Feng’s body. Having slain the Wind Wolf King, his level successfully rose to fifteen.

“After reaching level fifteen, leveling up will require even more experience.”
“Even if I return to run the dungeon again, it’ll be impossible to reach level sixteen in a single run.”
“To reach level sixteen, I’ll need at least three more dungeon runs.”
“There’s still some time before the college entrance exams. Based on the schedule, I can manage three more runs at most, which should be enough to reach level sixteen.”
“Although it’s not quite as good as I’d hoped, being level sixteen should be sufficient to apply to Qingbei University!”

Having killed the Wind Wolf King, Yang Feng exited the Greenhill Town instance. Stepping out, he found not a soul outside.

“What’s going on? Where has everyone gone?” Yang Feng pondered for a moment, then quickly realized the reason. This place had become a hotspot for trouble. Leaving such a place was perhaps the wisest choice. After surveying his surroundings, he didn’t hesitate and melted into the night, vanishing without a trace.

…

The next day, people finally began to return to Greenhill Town.

“Why is there no one in Greenhill Town?”
“Yeah! There used to be crowds of people coming here to run the dungeon.”
“So where did all those dungeon runners go?”

The newcomers were puzzled but didn’t dwell on it. They chose to enter Greenhill Town. Soon, more people arrived, and the entrance to Greenhill Town grew lively once more.

After his cooldown ended, Yang Feng returned and entered Greenhill Town.

“Who is that?”
“No idea! He doesn’t say a word!”
“Look at the crow above his head—it gives me the creeps!”
“I just invited him to join my party, but he completely ignored me!”
“He went in alone. Is he planning to solo the dungeon?”
“…”

Noticing Yang Feng, the people around began to whisper among themselves.

“That’s Yang Feng!” Not far away, Ye Mengyan spotted Yang Feng entering Greenhill Town alone. There was no mistaking him; the Crow Warrior perched above his head was far too conspicuous. Perhaps in the entire world, only Yang Feng would use a crow as his pet. Moreover, the Curse Master was a unique hidden class. As long as Yang Feng lived, there would be no other Curse Masters in the world.

“Is Yang Feng really going to solo the dungeon?” Ye Mengyan’s face was full of doubt. She had just reached level eleven that day, and upon doing so, had immediately come to Greenhill Town. Though only level eleven, her class was a special mage—Light Mage! Thanks to this, many sought her out for parties. Greenhill Town was only a level fifteen dungeon, and not particularly difficult. It even had two difficulties: normal and hard. On normal, it was almost effortless. Still, attempting it solo would be a challenge.

Ye Mengyan hadn’t expected that Yang Feng would go in alone. His level must be even higher than hers.

“Yang Feng, just wait—I will surpass you!” she declared stubbornly, and soon found a party to enter Greenhill Town herself.

Meanwhile, Yang Feng, upon entering, chose hard mode. Leading dozens of Crow Warriors, he swept through Greenhill Town like a storm. Now that he was level fifteen, he could summon seventy Crow Warriors at once. After a night’s rest, his mental strength was fully restored. Upon entering, he summoned all seventy crows, forming a formidable Crow Legion. Wherever the legion passed, no monster was left alive.

Familiar with every corner of Greenhill Town by now, Yang Feng killed even faster. In just half an hour, he reached the end of the dungeon.

“Attack!” Upon sighting the Wind Wolf King, Yang Feng gave the command without hesitation. Under the assault of the crow warriors, the Wind Wolf King awoke, only to find half its health already gone. Just as the Wind Wolf King prepared to unleash its skills, Yang Feng hurled a Fireball at its head.

In less than a minute, the Wind Wolf King was slain.

[Wind Wolf King killed, experience +50,000]
[Congratulations, you have obtained a Wolf Fang Dagger!]
[Wolf Fang Dagger: Bronze Grade]
[Equipped: Combat Power +20, Speed +20]
[Suitable for Assassin-class users!]
[Level requirement: 15]
[Assassins wielding the Wolf Fang Dagger gain an additional five percent bonus damage.]

The loot was similar to before. Without a second thought, Yang Feng stowed it all in his storage pouch.

As the Wind Wolf King died, it looked at Yang Feng with bitter unwillingness.

“No need to look at me like that. Once I reach level sixteen, I won’t come back here anymore! In any case, in just a few hours you’ll respawn automatically. Killed by someone else or by me, it makes no difference! At least if I kill you, I’ll make it quick and painless! If not for the experience, I wouldn’t even bother with you!”

Uncertain if the Wind Wolf King could understand him, Yang Feng grumbled away. Even though he had slain the boss, he hadn’t leveled up. He was still fifty percent short of level sixteen. One more dungeon run should be enough.

After killing the Wind Wolf King, Yang Feng left Greenhill Town. A few hours later, a large group from the Four Seas Guild arrived at the entrance. However, the young master Zhao Haoran was not among them. This time, the guild had not come to run the dungeon. Instead, they were investigating the disappearance of Song Jiji and his companions the day before. Since their disappearance, there had been no news. Everyone present at the time had vanished as well.

Unlike last time, the Four Seas Guild didn’t seal off the entrance. Instead, they sent people around to inquire about what had happened the previous day. Yet after asking everyone, they found nothing useful—today’s crowd knew nothing of yesterday’s events. With no answers, the Four Seas Guild could only withdraw.
