"Why are there people here?"
A robust Guardian Knight carrying a round, white shield on his back asked, frowning when he saw the Shifeng's group walking out of the teleportation array. His expression turned serious.
"Leader, could they be here for the Fallen Ark?" A pure and lovely female Cleric in the same party asked worriedly.
"That shouldn't be the case. We rushed over as soon as we received the news. Moreover, they don't have the key. Even if they go there, they won't get anything. If they have any ulterior motives, we'll just have to deal with them." At this moment, a beautiful woman in luxurious purple robes said nonchalantly as she glanced at the cloaked Shifeng's group.
"You're right. If they want to take action, we can use them to test out our new weapons and equipment," the other members of the team said, laughing.
While these players were joking around, the Shifeng's group was similarly surprised. They had never thought that players would set foot in the teleportation array already.
"Guild Leader, these people are so strong!" Fear flashed in Fire Dance's eyes as she looked at these independent players.
Although the other party was only a 20-man team, based on their movements and the frightening aura they had displayed, she could tell that these players were very skilled. They were definitely not any weaker than Sword's previous peak experts.
Meanwhile, there were a total of 20 such players …
Even a peak team from a Super Guild would not be so strong, yet all of these players were independent players.
"They are so strong, but why haven't I heard of any of their names?" Gentle Snow was similarly surprised. After all was said and done, she was the Guild Leader of a first-rate Guild. She believed that she was well-informed and knew the majority of God's Domain's peak experts. However, she had never seen such a powerful independent adventurer team before. Most laughably, she did not recognize a single one of these players.
"As far as I can remember, the only other independent adventurer team with such strength is Owl, which I formed a team with when I visited the Holy City of Titan." As Shiuse Qiangwei watched the 20-man team leave, she could not help but think of Owl. In her opinion, Owl was definitely one of the top adventurer teams in God's Domain. She had never imagined that she would meet another one today. "Guild Leader, why don't we take a look?"
An independent adventurer team was different from a Guild. He might even be able to recruit Ling Yi. Even if he couldn't recruit Ling Yi, it was always good to get acquainted with her. That way, if he encountered a shortage of manpower in the future, he could invite them to help him. After all, peak experts like them were very rare in God's Domain.
Gentle Snow also nodded her head.
If he could get this group of people to join the Ling YI Society, it would definitely increase the strength of the Ling YI Society to a whole new level. At that time, they would have a much better chance of competing for Thunder Island.
Shifeng shook his head. "Forget it, we still have something important to do. Let's get to know each other in the future."
This adventurer team might be unfamiliar to Shiuse Qiangwei and Gentle Snow, but Shifeng was no stranger to this adventurer team.
This adventurer team was the famous Midnight Tea Party. The adventurer team always had around 20 members. In terms of combat power, even Super Guilds feared the adventurer team. However, as the adventurer team did not have a territory of its own and did not have a force of its own, the various Super Guilds had tried to recruit the adventurer team. Unfortunately, none of them had succeeded.
However, to Shifeng's surprise, he actually saw a familiar face among this group of people.
Endless Scars!
Shifeng had never thought that this legendary figure would actually be in the same group as the Midnight Tea Party during the early stages of God's Domain. If word of this got out, it would most likely shock everyone.
Although every member that had left the Midnight Tea Party had gone on to achieve great things in the future, none of them had ever reached Endless Scars's level.
As the number one player on the God's Domain Experts List, Endless Scars stood at the apex of God's Domain.
However, when Shifeng thought about how Endless Scars was actually the Blackwater Consortium's representative, he could not help but feel a headache. The Blackwater Consortium's foundations were already extraordinary. If Endless Scars joined and led the Guild, he did not dare imagine the Guild's future.
However, he had never heard of Endless Scars joining the Blackwater Guild in the past. She had practically always been a lone wolf.
Following which, Shifeng had his team head to the NPC Shop to purchase some food and water, as well as take inventory of potions and Magic Scrolls. If they did not have enough, they could get more from him. After resting for a moment, he led the team to the neutral map, Crying Ghost Ridge.
Originally, the journey should have taken 14 hours, but Shifeng's team only took four hours. Moreover, they did not encounter a single monster along the way. This situation surprised everyone.
They were surrounded by Level 60-plus monsters, while they were only Level 40-plus. With such a level difference, monsters could easily notice them. Yet, they had not encountered a single monster along the way.
What the team did not know was that Shifeng was very familiar with the terrain. He knew where they could travel and where they could not. Although they had said that the journey would take 14 hours, in reality, that time had taken into account their encounters with monsters. If they had not encountered any monsters, they would not have needed more than ten hours to reach their destination.
"Everyone, stop for a moment. The neutral map, Crying Ghost Ridge, is just up ahead." Shifeng suddenly called for everyone to stop before a small mountain path. He then took out a Tier 1 Group Concealment Scroll from his bag and cautiously warned his team, "We'll have to travel on foot. Remember to follow me closely. The monsters here are not the same as the ones we've encountered before. Even Level 60 Common monsters have combat standards on the Trial Tower's third floor."
"Combat standards on the Trial Tower's third floor? Are they still monsters?" Hei Zi could not help but be astonished.
Many large Guilds' recruitment standards were based on reaching the Trial Tower's second floor. The Ling YI Society's standards were slightly higher, reaching the third floor. Those who could reach the fourth floor were undoubtedly the Guild's elites, and those who passed the fourth floor were considered experts in the eyes of ordinary players.
In other words, any random monster in Crying Ghost Ridge had combat standards on par with a Guild's elite members. However, monsters' Attributes were much higher than players'. Even if they were of the same standard, monsters could easily kill players.
Immediately, everyone's relaxed expressions disappeared. They began to move cautiously. At the same time, they were also curious as to why Shifeng had brought them to such a dangerous place.
Following which, Shifeng unfurled a Group Concealment Scroll, allowing everyone to enter Stealth. As long as they did not initiate an attack or receive an attack, the Stealth effect would not be broken. The only downside to using the Group Concealment Scroll was that it only reduced the user's Movement Speed by 80% and had a duration of ten minutes.
Shortly after Shifeng's group ventured deeper into Crying Ghost Ridge, a group of players hurriedly arrived at the ridge.
"There sure are a lot of monsters along the way. Fortunately, the commander has the Beast King's Breath, which has a deterrent effect on the monsters. If that group of players had come here, those Level 60 monsters would've given them a hard time. By the time they arrived, we would've long since entered the Fallen Ark."
Everyone at the Midnight Tea Party could not help but nod and laugh.
They had only dared to venture into such a dangerous place because their commander had obtained the Beast King's Breath. Otherwise, they would've had no choice but to wait until they reached Level 50.
"Huh? Something's not right. Look up ahead, there are a lot of hoofprints. They've only been left here recently." A Ranger, who was using a Detection Skill, suddenly discovered the hoofprints at the entrance of the mountain path. Immediately, he revealed a shocked expression.
"What? Could it be those people?"
"How is that possible?! We have the Beast King's Breath! "
