In a snowy canyon in the Frozen Scar, one could see white fog everywhere just by exhaling. Many animals and plants that had been turned into ice sculptures could be seen everywhere. Meanwhile, a legion of a thousand people was advancing in an orderly manner in the canyon.
Level 42-plus Guardian Knights and Shield Warriors stood in the front row, blocking off the canyon's path like an impenetrable wall.
Meanwhile, the monsters standing before this iron wall were Level 46 and Level 47. Moreover, they were all Power-type High Lords, the Violent Snow Bears.
[Violent Snow Bear] (Elemental Creature, High Lord) Level 47 HP 31,000,000/31,000,000
Even if an ordinary MT blocked one of the Violent Snow Bears' attacks, they would lose over 10,000 HP.
Not only did the Violent Snow Bears' attacks contain immense Strength, but they also inflicted Frost Penetration.
The Frost Penetration debuff reduced a target's reaction and Attack Speed, halving healing effects. Moreover, shields couldn't block all of the Violent Snow Bears' attacks. In addition, the Violent Snow Bears also used the Tier 2 Skill Snow Trample from time to time. If the healers at the rear weren't paying attention, the Violent Snow Bears' attacks could kill the frontline MTs instantly.
This was also the reason why many teams that wanted to explore the Frozen Scar were stuck here.
However, when these Guardian Knights and Shield Warriors faced the Violent Snow Bears' attacks, they received no more than -7,000 damage. Even when they faced the Violent Snow Bears' Skills, they received no more than -20,000 damage. Against MTs with over 40,000 HP, the Violent Snow Bears' attacks were a piece of cake.
"Guild Leader, this Frozen Heart really is amazing. It seems that Beast Emperor wasn't lying to us. With this, our chances of raiding The Frozen King have increased by at least 20%," Daybreak Fog said in surprise as she looked at the crystal heart in her hand.
"This is only the beginning," Singular Burial said, smiling. "The three top adventurer teams we've partnered with each have their own trump cards. Moreover, with their help, our team's overall strength has increased significantly. It's only a matter of time before we take down The Frozen King."
The Ling YI Society had just gone through a major battle. Although the monster army hadn't damaged Ling Yi's overall strength by much, it had thrown Stone Forest Town into chaos. The Guild had also lost nearly half of its main force and core members. It would take a lot of time for the Guild to recover.
Moreover, the Ling YI Society was developing on multiple fronts. Heaven's Burial wasn't its only enemy. The Black Dragon Empire was also eyeing the Guild. The empire's various Guilds had minor conflicts with Ling Yi Society's various large Guilds had various conflicts with the Guild............... Ling Guild............. and Guild.... Ling Yi Guild's various Guilds..........
Now that the Ling YI Society urgently needed to recuperate, it was the best opportunity for the Sky Burial Society to catch up to them.
With the Frozen Heart, they could level up very quickly. As an Asura Mode Regional Dungeon, not only could they reach Level 49 quickly, but they could also start challenging Level 50 large-scale Team Dungeons as soon as they reached Level 50. If they took down The Frozen King, the Sky Burial Society's status in Evernight City would rise. Red Iron Town might even be able to compete with Stone Forest Town. Not to mention, they had the support of an unfathomable existence like Beast Emperor.
Just as Singular Burial was formulating his plan, Daybreak Fog's complexion paled.
"Guild Leader, this is bad! Just a moment ago, the Ling YI Society suddenly gathered a 1,000-man legion of experts. Moreover, they all ride Mounts, and their Guild Leader, Hei Yan, is personally leading the legion. Currently, no one knows where the legion has gone. Everyone is suspecting that the Ling YI Society is planning to take action against someone. Now, the various Guilds have begun to recall their main forces and have their field teams spread out as much as possible. Should we take precautions?" Daybreak Fog asked worriedly as she read the news she had just received.
A 1,000-man legion of experts was no laughing matter.
Not to mention, the person leading the legion was their Guild Leader, Hei Yan …
"Do our spies in the Ling YI Society know where they are going?" Singular Burial asked.
"Our spies are only average in terms of strength. They are not qualified to participate in the Ling Yi Society's activities," Daybreak Fog said, shaking her head.
Although she wanted to send experts to infiltrate the Ling YI Society, the Ling YI Society's operations were watertight. Its management system was extremely strict, and it had even used the Main God System's contracts to impose minor restrictions on Guild members. Hence, she found it hard to believe that the Ling YI Society was a new Guild that had only been established a few months ago in God's Domain. The Guild's system was so complete that even first-rate Guilds would have to bow their heads in admiration.
Any expert player that joined the Ling YI Society would be thoroughly investigated. As a result, it was very difficult to infiltrate the Ling YI Society. Only those with potential would be able to infiltrate the Ling YI Society. After these experts slowly rose through the ranks, they would be discovered if they stood out too much.
What Daybreak Fog did not know was that Shifeng had been the Guild Leader of a Guild in God's Domain for ten years. Back then, Shifeng's Guild system was much more complete than it was now. He had long since come up with an efficient method to deal with the spies of the various large Guilds. Although he could not completely eliminate the spies of the Guild's middle and lower echelons, he could, to a large extent, prevent the leak of important information about the Guild.
After giving the matter some thought, Singular Burial hurriedly commanded, "As a precaution, have the Ghost Shadow Legion spread out throughout the Frozen Scar. Report to us as soon as they discover the Ling YI Society's army!"
Although Singular Burial did not believe that Ling Yi would seek trouble with Heaven's Burial right now, on the surface, the two Guilds had been minding their own business and developing separately.
Meanwhile, the Ling YI Society had no reason to target them. Only Abandoned Wave's monster army had attacked the Frozen Scar. Flame Blood had also said that his identity had not been exposed. Moreover, if they truly fought, other Guilds would only benefit from it. After all, they had already entered the era of Mounts. The various large Guilds were developing rapidly. Where would they find the time to waste on a war?
However, when he thought about the unpredictable Shifeng, he still had to be careful.
While no players were willing to visit Dark Lake Town, the culprit behind this incident, the Shifeng, which had caused the various major powers in Starmoon Kingdom to feel threatened, was quietly taking stock of the Guild's members and adjusting the team's class allocation.
"Alright, let's set out!"
After reorganizing the team, the Shifeng led everyone out of Dark Lake Town.
"Big Sis Aqua, there aren't any high-resource maps around Dark Lake Town, and we've gathered so many people. Does the Guild Leader want us to raid one of the nearby dark forces' towns?" Hei Zi asked curiously as she scanned the surrounding wilderness.
Dark Lake Town was a border town in the Starmoon Kingdom. Its surroundings were incomparably desolate. There were no resources to be had. Even though the town was suitable for Level 40-plus players to level up, there was no reason for players to visit.
The only thing worth paying attention to was the Dark Lake Town. As it was a border town, many dark forces operated here. Not only could raiding these Dark Lake Towns increase the Guild's Popularity, but they could also obtain the town's treasures. It was killing two birds with one stone.
Only, these Dark Lake Towns were not ordinary. Raiding them would not be easy.
"I'm not sure. The Guild Leader said that we'll know once we arrive," Shiuse Qiangwei said, shaking his head. He, too, was uncertain about the situation.
According to the information displayed on these Dark Lake Towns, the NPCs guarding them were generally between Level 65 and Level 70. For their current level, raiding these towns was simply too difficult.
However, as everyone pondered, the Shifeng led the team through the Starmoon Kingdom's territory and entered the neutral map, the Mourning Battlefield.
Most of these players were familiar with the map of the Starmoon Kingdom. They knew very little about the places outside of Starmoon Kingdom. Even so, this did not hinder their perception of danger.
"What … is this place?"
The instant they entered the Mourning Battlefield, everyone felt a chill run down their spines. Killing intent also filled the air, and their minds constantly warned them that this place was extremely dangerous.
In the distance, green-skinned Beastmen were patrolling a short wall. They were around four to five hundred meters tall, wielding spears and carrying bows and arrows on their backs. There were also some Beastmen with better equipment and large battleaxes on their backs. Although there weren't many of them, they all gave off a great pressure.
[Orc Sentinel] (Humanoid Creature, Chieftain) Level 75 HP 8,400,000/8,400,000
[Orc Captain] (Humanoid Creature, Great Lord) Level 77 HP 78,000,000/78,000,000
Humanoid Creatures possessed high intellect. They'd be lucky to escape from these monsters, much less fight them.
"Guild Leader, are we supposed to grind these monsters?" Jian Ying asked, wiping the sweat from his forehead as he looked at the Orc Captains patrolling the wall.
There were over 20 Orc Captains. This wasn't Stone Forest Town. There were Magic Towers and NPC guards. Charging at these Captains would be suicide.
"Relax."
Shifeng chuckled nonchalantly. He then retrieved Miniature Ballistas and Exploding Arrows from his bag.
The Mourning Battlefield was a treasure trove for leveling up. Only, it wasn't suitable for ordinary player teams because the Orcs here moved in groups. In addition, the Orcs' overall strength was very high. Hence, ordinary players weren't willing to risk their lives here. Normally, only 100-man teams of Tier 2 players would be safe.
