“The thing I hate most in this life is mushrooms!”

Tejima Ichiro was indeed very fast. But… sometimes, being too fast is not necessarily a good thing.

Just as Tejima Ichiro was on the bone platform, thinking he saw hope of tying with 'Shadow', he suddenly stepped on a trap while sprinting.

Like a mushroom bursting, green poison mist emerged around him.

BOOM!

???

Tejima Ichiro paused for a moment, but his running body did not stop, so after just one second, he stepped on another Poison Trap.

BOOM!

After eating two Poison Traps, the layers of Tejima Ichiro's Damage Immunity Shield dropped rapidly!

This made Tejima Ichiro's brain crash instantly!

Watching his Damage Immunity Shield layers drop, he subconsciously wanted to start running to restack his Damage Immunity Shield.

But… he couldn't see the Poison Traps on the field!

What if he started running and stepped on another mushroom?

But if he didn't run… standing still, wouldn't he become a living target for Shadow?

So… to run or not to run?

This question became the most agonizing dilemma of Tejima Ichiro's life!

"Run? Try running again?"

Qin Feng maintained his stealth state, casually throwing out some Poison Traps, scattering them across the field.

Whenever Tejima Ichiro began to slow down, not daring to run, Qin Feng would launch Shadow Blades one by one.

Every time he was hit by Shadow Blades coming from all directions, Tejima Ichiro would start running again, and then step on another 'mushroom' on the ground…

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"Ahhh!!"

Tejima Ichiro was going crazy!

The Damage Immunity Shield, which had basically been maintained at 99 layers, was dropping rapidly in a short time—70 layers, 50 layers, 30 layers…

This change in such a short time made Tejima Ichiro, who had persisted for over four hours, instantly break out in a cold sweat!

And the fifty-one Japan players in his team, who were watching the battle in a soul state, were all stunned.

"I told you the thing I hate most in this life is mushrooms!"

"Teemo… no, Shadow must die!"

"This Shadow is too despicable, ahh!!"

"What to do, what to do? Can Tejima-kun still keep going?"

"No, Tejima-kun is completely suppressed!"

Tejima Ichiro's mentality collapsed!

He and his team had originally thought that things would go smoothly.

They could stop 'Shadow' from continuing to get stronger.

As long as they tied with Shadow, they could send Shadow out of this tomb as well…

But they never expected it.

At the last moment, Shadow actually came up with this method!

Poison Traps!

"I remember, Poison Trap is a Platinum-grade skill."

"The traps have a Stealth Level of 5."

"If only I had level 5 Anti-Stealth…"

Tejima Ichiro felt desperate.

However, what he didn't know was that Qin Feng's 'Poison Trap' had already been evolved into an Epic-grade skill.

The Stealth Level of the Poison Trap was level 8!

This level of Poison Trap was simply not something players at the current stage could detect.

In the end.

After just half a minute, Tejima Ichiro's Damage Immunity Shield layers were left with only a dozen or so.

He kept running, trying to make up for it, but he stepped on three more Poison Traps in succession.

The faster he ran, the more he stepped on!

Eventually, his whole body glowing with poisonous green light, his Damage Immunity Shield layers exhausted by the continuous poison damage, he fell miserably onto the bone platform!!

——

[Congratulations, you have won this confrontation.]

[You will face the master of this Skeleton tomb, the loyal follower of the God of Bones, the Corpse Controller, the Chaos Maker—Undead Bishop · Nibagoden (Diamond-level BOSS)!]

——

This guy, Qin Feng had never seen him in his previous life.

He hadn't heard of anyone encountering him afterward either.

That is to say… there were absolutely no relevant guides!

"However, since it is only a Diamond-level BOSS, it means its strength is average."

"Chaos Maker… does it have a 'Chaos' Superior Affix?"

"Doesn't matter."

"The Killing Star Blade comes with a 'Stripping' affix, plus Endless Nightmare… for a BOSS of this level, I just need to mindlessly rush it."

If others knew what Qin Feng was thinking right now, they would definitely curse him for being a humble-bragger.

Diamond-level BOSS, average strength?

Is this something a human can say?

…

Just at this time.

Tejima Ichiro and the others all died and were sent out of the Tomb of the Undead Bishop!

Their group had all been killed by 'Shadow' once, and to their surprise, they found that they didn't have very serious Death penalties.

"Shadow didn't absorb our Lifespan."

"And he didn't make us disappear inexplicably."

"What the hell is he doing?"

They guessed that perhaps 'Shadow' making people disappear had conditions, or costs?

But him not absorbing their Lifespan made them a bit unable to understand.

Suddenly, Tejima Ichiro thought of something.

"Wait, you guys say, if this matter is made public, will it cause trouble for Shadow?"

"Before, in the Magic City Ruins, Shadow slaughtered over a thousand China players, released the Flower of Death, and additionally absorbed their Lifespan!"

"Moreover, the president of Feike Heavy Industries and a manager disappeared inexplicably because of it!"

"He was so ruthless to his own people, but to us, he is surprisingly friendly?"

That bald priest snapped his fingers, his eyes lighting up: "I understand, if this matter spreads, it will definitely make the Great Xia Government and the public boycott Shadow!"

Tejima Ichiro laughed loudly: "That's right. Although it might not necessarily harm Shadow, we just need to release the news to cause internal Chaos in China… why not do it?"

Thus, a moment later.

A piece of news spread rapidly from Japan.

Shadow met with Tejima Ichiro's team in a certain tomb!

As a result, Shadow killed all fifty-two members of Tejima Ichiro's team, did not absorb a single person's Lifespan, and did not 'imprison' any of them!

In the words of Tejima Ichiro: "Lord Shadow has great samurai Spirit; he did not harm us, which makes us look at him with new eyes. We look forward to exchanging with Lord Shadow in the future and sparring again!"

Once such a message was released, major international forums exploded instantly!

"What?"

"Shadow took out Japan players, but didn't further deal with them?"

"This is unscientific! He was ruthless when dealing with Non-China players before!"

"Could it be that Shadow's stance is biased towards Japan?"

On the international forums, people soon started to stir up trouble.

The spearhead was pointed directly at 'Shadow'!

Originally, Tejima Ichiro wanted to use this move to disgust Qin Feng, maybe even get Shadow 'stripped of his nationality' on the internet?

That would be an unexpected gain.

But clearly, Tejima Ichiro and many people in other countries didn't expect…

By now, within China, not just the Government, but many players have already been 'purified'!

Facing this matter, most people were very rational.

"I believe Shadow is not that kind of person."

"Are those Japs spouting nonsense? Where could they have met Shadow?"

"Even if what they say is true, I'm not worried at all."

"That's right, letting them go now, there must be something big later."

"To the guy above, elaborate on 'something big'."

"Hahaha, every time Shadow deals with people, there's a problem; now that he's not dealing with them, is there a possibility that these are all friendly forces?"

Even Qin Feng never imagined.

The imagination of this generation of netizens would be so rich!

Of course, there were definitely still people blaming Qin Feng, but the proportion was far from reaching the level that Tejima Ichiro and the others had expected!

For a time, online flame wars started again everywhere.

This time…

Under every post criticizing 'Shadow', people would chase and scold them for hundreds or thousands of comments!!

And all of this, Qin Feng did not know for the time being.

He was in the Tomb of the Undead Bishop, continuing to explore towards the deeper parts!!

After clearing out quite a few Skeleton monsters along the way…

Qin Feng arrived at the deepest part of the tomb and finally saw the Diamond-level final BOSS!!

"Once this BOSS is finished, I'll be able to synthesize another Legendary-grade skill book!!"
