Shi Feng walked over without a word and casually picked up the murderous one-handed sword.
The Blood Edge was, without a doubt, one of the hardest items to obtain in the Hell Difficulty Silent Forest, and it was also the best one-handed sword for a Swordsman before level 6. Period.
Blood Edge, One-Handed Sword, Mythril Rank, Requires 12 Strength, Level Requirement 3, Attack Power +21, Strength +5, Agility +6, Stamina +3, Durability 30/30.
Its raw attack power alone was already comparable to a level 5 two-handed bronze greataxe, and the +6 Agility significantly boosted a Swordsman's attack speed. It was absolutely the ultimate weapon for a Swordsman.
The pity was that he couldn't equip it yet. His current experience was only at level 2, 69%. He still needed quite a bit more experience to reach level 3. And even if he hit level 3, he couldn't equip it because a Swordsman needed to reach level 5 to unlock the dual-wield talent. Only then could he equip two one-handed swords.
Once he hit level 5, main-handing the Abyssal and off-handing the Blood Edge, his attack power would be practically unmatched among level 5 players. Just thinking about it was exhilarating.
"Brother Feng, hurry up and pick up the gear! I'm dying here!" Hei Zi urged impatiently.
"Yeah, Captain, you can't hog all the fun looking at it! At least let us see what dropped, give us a visual treat!"
The loot scattered on the ground was almost blinding to everyone. They were all gazing longingly, burning with anticipation. They'd even forgotten the joy of just hitting level 2. All they wanted was to see what the two Hell Difficulty bosses had dropped. As for running over to grab the loot directly, no one present would do that. No matter how valuable the items on the ground were, they wouldn't do it.
Doing something like that might give a moment's thrill, but they'd regret it for the rest of their lives. Shi Feng was the greatest treasure here. Even if Shi Feng said he was taking all the equipment, no one would object. After all, they had made it this far entirely because of him. So no one rushed forward to snatch the loot; they all obediently stood aside and watched.
"Okay, okay, don't rush." Shi Feng smiled faintly and began quickly picking up the items on the ground. He was quite satisfied with everyone's behavior.
Unlike his previous life, when Shi Feng occasionally ran dungeons with others, the moment a boss went down, a mob would rush in to grab the gear, snatched it, and then vanished, leaving him speechless with frustration.
The reason he hadn't set the team to "leader loot" was precisely to test everyone. It was always better to identify those treacherous types early. Now that no one had swarmed the loot, he felt somewhat more at ease with the group.
In no time, Shi Feng had picked up all the dropped items—19 items in total and 5 silver coins. This haul was comparable to the entire assets of a major guild.
After organizing his inventory slightly, the corner of Shi Feng's mouth curved up. He had seen a forging blueprint.
Guardian Armor Blueprint. Learn this to forge a level 3 bronze-grade chest piece. Required materials: Copper Ore x20, Bronze Ore x5, Magic Essence x5 bottles.
This equipment was excellent. As long as the MT equipped it, running the normal difficulty Silent Forest would become much easier. Not just because of the high defense and strength, but more importantly, it increased the health pool by 200 points. That was critically important for an MT.
In his past life, when this equipment appeared, every major guild had gone crazy for it, sparing no effort to run the Silent Forest to get the blueprint.
Seeing Shi Feng's happy smile, Hei Zi grew even more anxious.
The others were no different. If looks could kill, Shi Feng would have died a thousand times over by now.
"The stuff looks good. You guys take a look too." Shi Feng didn't waste any more time and sent out the stats for all the equipment.
There were 15 pieces of equipment in total. Only one was Mythril Rank—that was the Blood Edge. There were five Iron Rank pieces and nine Bronze Rank pieces. The Bronze Rank gear dropped by Hell Difficulty bosses were all top-tier, far surpassing the Bronze equipment dropped by elites out in the wild.
Aside from the Blood Edge being the most valuable, the next most notable were the Iron Rank sets for each class. Iron Rank sets only dropped in Hell Difficulty; normal and hard modes only dropped Bronze sets.
Hei Zi's luck was always excellent. Of the five Iron Rank items, two were pieces of the Warlock's Dark Set. The Iron Rank Dark Set was absolutely the best Warlock set before level 5. The complete Dark Set had five pieces: head, chest, legs, feet, and gloves. This time, the chest and feet dropped, making Hei Zi grin from ear to ear.
"Brother Feng, I love running Hell! Let's do it every day from now on, and I'll complete my Dark Set! Then, anyone who dares look down on us, I'll blast them!" Hei Zi clutched the pieces of the Dark Set, preening.
After putting on the Dark Set pieces, Hei Zi felt even more like a master. His spell power shot up to 66. A single level 3 Shadow Arrow could delete over half a level 1 Shield Warrior's health bar. Once he got the complete Iron Rank Dark Set, one Shadow Arrow would be able to one-shot a level 1 Shield Warrior.
