Crossing the wilderness to survive, starting with a broken kitchen knife.

Zhang Shi and others rested for a while, marked the altar, and continued to explore forward under the guidance of Ge Dalong, preparing to first determine the location of the treasure chest, and by the way, gain experience and improve their level.

The altar can greatly advance progress, so it is necessary to open it.

Whether it is the monster tide or the final elite monster, they are all quite powerful. Zhang Shi and his four companions are at a higher level, so they can handle them more safely.

After fighting all the way, everyone reached level 5, and Zhang Shi even reached level 6. The progress bar was also pushed to 30%.

At this time, his attributes were already very high, and he could kill ordinary beasts and monsters with one blow.

As they neared their destination, Zhang Shi distributed plums to everyone to restore their stamina, just in case. Wu Qing also took out some incense of various functions and types to deal with powerful enemies.

Following the guidance of the parchment book, the four came to a lake. There was a pavilion in the middle of the lake, and a treasure chest with a bright light was placed in the pavilion.

It is worth noting that there is an altar on the other side of the lake, which is exactly the same as the one we just encountered.

Zhang Shi used Dingzhen to identify the surroundings of the treasure chest and found nothing dangerous.

As for the treasure chest, the quality is dynamic. When it is opened, the quality will be determined according to the final progress of the challenger.

Zhang Shi informed his teammates of his discovery. Zhao Feng glanced at the time and asked.

"We're just halfway through the time, and we still have a medal of courage. Do you want to start another round of altars?"

Ge Dalong looked at Wu Qing and asked, "Xiaoqing, do you have enough incense?"

Wu Qing shook her head.

"There are only some with lower enhancement values. For example, the incense that made animals sleep earlier, I only brought one this time."

Zhang Shi thought about it for a while and discussed it with everyone.

"Now that our strength has increased, if we fight along this lake, we can reduce the pressure in one direction. Even if we can't win, we can still run to the other side of the lake through the pavilion. I think we can give it a try."

Several people were unwilling to withdraw like this, but as soon as Zhang Shi spoke up, they all agreed with his idea.

Ge Dalong followed his usual routine, building a wooden fence around the altar to create a defensive fortification. This time, he also took out a few ground spike traps that Zhang Shi was more familiar with and placed them in front of the fence.

Zhao Feng stood at the front holding a giant axe. Wu Qing also lit the incense and was guarded in the middle by Zhang Shi and Ge Dalong.

Zhang Shi glanced at everyone, nodded to each other, and then placed the Medal of Courage on the altar.

There was another familiar red light accompanied by violent shaking.

With its back to the lake, a large number of monsters emerged from the three sides of the altar, with red eyes, and rushed towards the altar like crazy.

Ge Dalong added all his attribute points to magic attribute, unlike at the beginning when the magic wand was exhausted after using it several times in a row.

The cooldown time of the ice cone skill is only 2 seconds. Ge Dalong uses the energy ball to pour out firepower crazily, clearing out the monsters in a small area.

Zhang Shi cooperated with him, firing sharp arrows continuously, each arrow taking a life. If he encountered a larger beast, he would use a triple attack to blow it to pieces.

Some nimble monsters and beasts approached the fence, attempting to leap in from the outside, but unaware of the spike traps ahead, their feet slipping and being impaled on the iron spikes, becoming hedgehogs. The few that managed to scale the wall were dispatched by Zhao Feng, who waited inside, with a single blow of his axe.

An unknown amount of time passed, but with sufficient preparation, the four of them took on the monster wave without much effort.

The altar shook violently again, the red light dissipated, and a cocoon appeared.

A black beast claw stretched out from it and broke the cocoon, and a nimble black panther appeared in front of everyone. The black panther had sharp eyes and its fur reflected light like silk, and it looked of high quality.

Zhang Shi identified it and shared the information.

[Black Panther King (Green): Panel (Unknown) Ability Value: 41]

[Exquisite-level elite monster, extremely fast and with sharp claws.]

Although he wasn't sure of its level, Zhao Feng judged it to be an easy target based on its appearance. He approached with his massive axe and swung it across. The flint blade swept past, sending up a blaze of fire.

The Black Panther King kicked off with his hind legs and leaped up nimbly, easily dodging Zhao Feng's attack. He then swept a claw towards Zhao Feng, but was blocked by Zhao Feng with his broad axe blade.

Zhang Shi's iron arrows and Ge Dalong's ice cones shot towards him. The Black Panther King jumped back lightly to avoid the attacks, crouched down, and let out a series of threatening growls.

This Black Panther King is different from the gargoyle. It is a beast known for its speed. It easily dodged the first round of attacks from Zhang Shi and his companions. Zhang Shi knew that this monster could not be defeated by brute force.

"This thing is too fast. It attacks from one direction, so it's too easy for him to dodge. Brother Feng, you entangle it, and everyone spread out to surround it."

Zhao Feng heard this and pressed forward decisively. With the aid of his flint axe, his strength rivaled that of a large beast. The Black Panther King didn't dare to confront Zhao Feng head-on, relying instead on his nimble movements to maneuver left and right, looking for opportunities to strike with his claws, attempting to find Zhao Feng's weakness.

Zhao Feng, emboldened by his armor, unleashed a powerful, unrestrained attack. He dodged the Black Panther King's attacks whenever possible, and when he couldn't, he relied on his weapon and armor to withstand them. For a moment, he actually managed to entangle the Black Panther King.

Zhang Shi and the other two have already formed their formation, and even Wu Qing took out a set of carpentry tools from her backpack to cooperate with Zhang Shi's actions.

"Brother Feng, it's now!"

The three attacked simultaneously from three different directions, their arrows and ice spikes forming an angle, locking onto the Black Panther King. Zhao Feng heard Zhang Shi's voice and launched another sweeping move, blocking the Black Panther King's path.

The Black Panther King was forced into a corner and had to make a choice in an instant.

It twisted its body and rushed out like a cannonball, leaving a bloody mark on its shoulder, and rushed towards Wu Qing with the arrow in its hand.

Seeing that the other party treated her as a soft persimmon, Wu Qing angrily took out a bunch of peppers from her backpack and threw it forward. Then she quickly retreated, squatted down, covered her ears and stared at the front.

Not to mention the Black Panther King, even Zhang Shi didn't understand what was going on with Wu Qing and was ready to launch a triple attack to rescue her.

"Oh!"

Before Zhang Shi could react, a violent explosion suddenly occurred where the pepper had fallen, with flames shooting into the sky and thick smoke billowing.

The Black Panther King was hit by the sudden explosion and flew out.

Ge Dalong seized the opportunity and predicted the landing point with his ice cone, successfully hitting it and breaking its hind legs. Streaks of frost spread across the Black Panther King's body.

Zhang Shi aimed at the Black Panther King and delivered a triple blow. The arrows pierced its body like a rainbow, and the shadow arrows pierced through its body, leaving two bloody holes.

At this time, the Black Panther King had completely lost his fighting ability and was lying on the ground dying.

Zhao Feng approached, his face icy cold. He swung the giant axe in his hand, severing its head and sending it to meet the King of Hell.
