Game of Misty Islands: I Can See Hints - Chapter 4
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Hu… Hu…”
Xia Feng breathed heavily, and gradually calmed down.
Opening the craft menu, he made two stone bowls at the cost of two stones.
He needed containers for the Shadow Cat’s meat and blood.
After they were properly stored, Xia Feng looked at the Shadow Cat’s blood.
[Shadow Cat’s Blood: The blood of a misty monster. Drink it while it’s still warm if you want to.]
[You’re still very weak. The tiny bit of spiritual power in this blood can strengthen you if you drink it, but you have to do it fast.]
The line above was the system’s note, and the next one was the hint.
It can strengthen me.
Xia Feng’s eyes glittered.
He raised the bowl and chugged the blood.
The blood tasted rather awful.
Finishing 1000 ml of the Shadow Cat’s Blood without stopping, Xia Feng took a deep breath to stop himself from vomiting.
Several minutes later, the discomfort declined.
At this moment, the Shadow Cat’s Blood kicked in.
Xia Feng’s body was hot, but not too badly.
About 10 minutes later, the fever ebbed.
I’m a lot stronger than before.
Waving the Exquisite Long Saber in his right hand, Xia Feng was quite delighted.
Earlier, it was hard for him to wave the saber with one hand, but he could do it easily at this moment.
He estimated that he was more than 50% stronger than before.
Xia Feng looked at the Shadow Cat’s meat hopefully.
[Shadow Cat’s Meat: This is the meat of a mist creature. Its taste is very delicious.]
[There’s a tiny bit of spiritual power in the meat too. It can strengthen you if you eat it over a long period.]
So, the meat works too.
Also, the hint doesn’t ask me to eat it right now. I can store it.
Xia Feng collected the Shadow Cat’s Meat excitedly.
He checked the bones and the skin. They were all materials for crafting, so he stored them as well as the Source Crystal.
Plus the one he got earlier, he already had two Source Crystals.
[System notification: You’ve explored five islands. You’re rewarded with the opportunity of a dungeon raid.]
[System notification: The reward will expire if you don’t enter in 30 minutes.]
“A dungeon?”
Xia Feng rubbed his hands, but wasn’t in a hurry to come in.
He hadn’t looted this island yet.
If some other player came to this island, and claimed the treasures while he was in the dungeon, it would be a great shame.
Xia Feng looked around, and saw a treasure chest at the edge of the island.
It was an Iron Chest that he had never opened.
Xia Feng walked to it, and opened the chest.
[System notification: Iron Chest +1]
[System notification: Wind Spiritual Rune +1]
[System notification: Earth Spiritual Rune +1]
[System notification: Recipe of Exquisite Healing Medicine +1]
Spiritual runes and a recipe.
Xia Feng smiled so hard that he could barely close his mouth.
[Recipe of Exquisite Healing Medicine: It can produce miraculous potion that can quickly heal your wounds.]
[System notification: Do you want to learn the Recipe of Exquisite Healing Medicine?]
“Learn it.”
[System notification: You’ve successfully learned it.]
[Exquisite Healing Medicine: Bleeding Stoppers 8/4, Purple Vines 6/4, Invigorating Grasses 0/2, Fragrant Leaves 0/4]
Four materials were required to make the healing potion, and Xia Feng only had two of them.
He collected the items in the chest and continued looting.
Luckily, he found four Invigorating Grasses, two pieces of iron, and four pieces of bronze where the Shadow Cat had been giving birth.
There were no other items on this island.
Xia Feng sat down on the ground and took a break.
There were only five minutes to go until the closure of the dungeon.
“Enter the dungeon,” Xia Feng said to himself.
Almost at the same time, a bright blue portal appeared in front of him.
[System notification: The portal to the dungeon has been activated. Please enter in one minute.]
Without hesitation, Xia Feng walked in with the Exquisite Long Saber.
Crossing the portal, he found himself in front of an enormous palace.
There were three entrances in the palace, which was completely dark. There was no telling what was inside.
[Dungeon clearance requirement: You must pass it in 60 minutes. The faster you are, the more generously you’ll be rewarded.]
[System notification: Say “return” to yourself to leave the dungeon anytime.]
Seeing the time limitation, Xia Feng didn’t waste any time.
He approached the entrance on the left side, and observed it carefully, and the golden hint popped up.
[The left entrance is absolutely safe. You can pass it smoothly.]
Then, he checked the entrances in the middle and on the right side.
[The central entrance has traps that will significantly slow you down.]
[The right entrance is home to several giant spiders. You’d better avoid them.]
Xia Feng chose the left entrance.
Behind the entrance was a narrow corridor that was about 30 meters long.
He passed the corridor, and was faced with another junction of roads.
With the help of the hint, Xia Feng made the best choice again.
There were five junctions in total.
Also, they were all the same.
Each of them had three entrances, of which one was safe, one had nonlethal traps, and one had monsters in the way.
Once he chose any of the entrances, it would be impossible to return.
With the help of the hints, Xia Feng passed all the junctions easily in no more than three minutes.
Passing through the palace, Xia Feng came to a canyon.
On the two sides of the canyon were boundless cliffs, and in the middle was a pathway that was more than 10 meters wide and 100 meters long.
Observing the environment for a while, Xia Feng stepped forward unhurriedly.
After only three steps, the golden words suddenly popped out.
[It’s dangerous up ahead. You need to set foot on the right places—or rush across the area fast—to avoid the traps, but you’re not fast enough.]
Xia Feng’s eyelids cramped after he saw the hint.
He moved his eyes and gazed at the pathway.
[Danger ahead…]
[Danger ahead…]
***
[This place is safe. You may step down.]
After examining several places, Xia Feng finally found an area that he could set foot on.
He moved over, and looked for the next safe area.
It took him 10 minutes to pass through the 100-meter-long pathway.
At the end of the canyon was an open ground, and the exit of the dungeon was at its center.
However, the exit was guarded by two Armored Crocodiles.
It was impossible to beat the Armored Crocodiles with strength. He could only use his wisdom.
Xia Feng looked back at the pathway in the canyon, and had an idea.
He picked up a few stones, and stored them in the Shelter Ring.
Then, he marked all the safe areas near the end of the pathway on his side.
After that, he moved forward, and threw the stones at the two Armored Crocodiles.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
After a few dull noises, the Armored Crocodiles charged at Xia Feng fast and ruthlessly.
Xia Feng turned around and quickly entered the pathway. The two Armored Crocodiles closely chased him.
Huala!
The moment the Armored Crocodiles came in, they fell into a pit that was several meters deep.
The bamboos with sharpened tips at the bottom of the pit wounded both Armored Crocodiles.
Seizing the opportunity, Xia Feng rushed out of the pathway through the safe areas, and dashed into the portal to leave the dungeon.
Then, the environment changed, and Xia Feng was back to the fifth island.
The moment he came out, the portal to the dungeon disappeared.
[System notification: You’ve successfully passed the first dungeon in 18 minutes and 52 seconds. Reward: an SS Dungeon Chest.]
In ascending order, the quality of the Dungeon Chests was D, C, B, A, S, SS, and SSS.
An SS Dungeon Chest?
Xia Feng rubbed his hands in excitement again.
