"Don't disappoint me."
Walking up to one of the corpses, Abandoned Wave took out a dark-gray crystal from his bag. The crystal's center glowed with an evil, blood-red light that looked like a pair of eyes. Just looking at it made one's hair stand on end.
In the next moment, Abandoned Wave chanted an incantation. A blood-red mist then emerged from the crystal and flowed into the corpse.
After a short while, the corpses began to move.
As Abandoned Wave finished chanting the final verse of the incantation, the corpse transformed into a bloody mist. The mist then returned to the crystal in the blink of an eye, and everything returned to normal.
"Damn it! These people are too weak!" Abandoned Wave stomped his feet in anger. He then called up the system map and inspected it carefully. "It seems that I'll need to search for experts elsewhere.
"I recall that this is a high-resource map occupied by the Star Alliance. There should be plenty of experts there. I'll use you guys as a starting point and test my strength."
After saying so, Abandoned Wave summoned a two-headed wolf and rode it to the Setting Sun Hills, which was a short distance away from the Stone Ape Forest.
…
Storm Empire, Twilight Echo's Guild Residence:
"Spring, are you saying that if we don't hand over the town to Ling Yi, Ling Yi won't cooperate with us?"
"The Ling YI Society thinks too highly of themselves. Do they really think that Twilight Echo needs them to protect the town?!"
"I've already said that the Ling YI Society is unreliable. Rather than cooperating with Ling Yi, we should invest more in the town's defense. In any case, there's still some time before the town's protection period ends. Moreover, Twilight Echo controls the area around the Energy vein. Even if Nature Hall is interested in the vein, it won't be easy to steal it from us."
"However, we shouldn't underestimate Nature Hall, either. I've just received a report stating that not only has Nature Hall recruited a large number of elite players, but it has also recruited quite a few powerful independent players. Moreover, I don't know what methods Nature Hall used, but it has also recruited quite a few powerful adventurer teams. In terms of Guild strength, even Twilight Echo and Seventh Street combined are no match for Nature Hall."
"It seems Nature Hall really is supported by a major corporation. We need to be careful."
"Since the situation is like this, let's give up on cooperating with Ling Yi and focus all our efforts on the magic ore vein. As long as we strengthen the town's defenses, with our geographical advantage, even Nature Hall will have to think twice before attacking us."
In the conference hall, the elders of Twilight Echo began to discuss among themselves.
They would never satisfy the demands of the Ling YI Society.
…
Meanwhile, the Shifeng had already arrived at the edge of the Sea of Death on the Swift Dragon Speedboat.
The Sea of Death was known as the Forbidden Land of Life by the players, but it was also known as the Garden of Eden by the players. This was because the sea was filled with all kinds of dangers, but at the same time, it was also filled with opportunities.
Hence, in the past, countless adventurous players had flocked to this sea region. Among them, there was no lack of experts who had taken advantage of this opportunity to reach the heavens.
Before the Shifeng entered the Sea of Death's range, he could already see the waves and deafening roars on the sea's surface. These were caused by the sea monsters.
Sure enough, the unexplored Sea of Death is dangerous. Shi Feng was astonished as he watched the distant waves rise from the sea's surface.
Although he couldn't see the sea monsters' appearances and numbers, he could tell that there were quite a few of them based on the movements on the sea's surface. If he took the risk, there was an 80% to 90% chance that he would die, even if he rode the Swift Dragon Speedboat.
Sea monsters were different from land monsters. Every sea monster had extremely high HP, three to five times that of monsters of the same level. Including the terrain advantage, even a single Lord ranked sea monster could annihilate a 100-man elite team. If this were on land, it would be inconceivable. However, on the sea, it was a common occurrence.
If they encountered more than five sea monsters, they would have to abandon this path. With so many sea monsters gathered together, there had to be at least a Boss-Rank sea monster among them.
At sea, only Great Lords were capable of such a feat.
On land, Great Lords were not to be trifled with, not to mention at sea. Without a fleet, players would have no choice but to take a detour.
Based on Shifeng's experience, there were at least ten sea monsters before them …
He couldn't rule out the possibility that there were Grand Lord ranked sea monsters among them.
Although the Swift Dragon Speedboat was powerful, it wasn't enough to fill the gaps between a Grand Lord's teeth.
As Shifeng steered the Swift Dragon Speedboat around the sea monsters, he suddenly discovered a fleet advancing towards the sea monsters. It was obvious that the fleet intended to annihilate these sea monsters.
To be considered a fleet at sea, one had to have at least 30 ships, excluding fishing boats.
Meanwhile, the fleet Shifeng saw had over 100 ordinary speedboats. There were also advanced speedboats, and the several leading speedboats were even Bronze rank.
As the fleet approached, Shifeng used the Swift Dragon Speedboat's binoculars to get a clear view of the fleet.
The four leading Bronze Speedboats all had an image of an aqua blue spear on their hull. This image was also the fleet's symbol. However, these symbols weren't just for show. They also had a function.
Magic array suppression. This symbol was similar to a magic barrier, but it was much weaker. Normally, only a fleet registered with the Adventurer's Association would receive such a symbol.
"The Freedom Alliance?" Shifeng was shocked when he saw the Azure Spear symbol. "Why are they here?"
The Freedom Alliance was not a Guild. Instead, it was an organization formed by various small Guilds and adventurer teams. The Freedom Alliance specialized in recruiting these small Guilds and adventurer teams. Of course, not all small Guilds and adventurer teams were qualified to join the Freedom Alliance. They needed to meet certain conditions.
In the past, the Freedom Alliance had been even stronger than some Super Guilds' naval forces. It had been a leviathan at sea.
However, the Freedom Alliance had not been active in the Sea of Death. Instead, it had been active in the distant Sea's End.
The Sea's End was much larger than the Sea of Death. It was an empire at sea!
The Sea's End was home to cities and alliances made up of islands. The gameplay there wasn't as intense as on land. Rather, the competition between players there wasn't as intense. However, the Sea's End was much more dangerous than on land.
Moreover, the players living in the Sea's End had been inseparable from naval combat since they had joined God's Domain. Hence, when it came to naval combat, they were even more powerful than the experts of large Guilds.
