With the Shifeng's departure, aside from Blackwater's members, the various large Guilds' members also relaxed.
"They're leaving, just like that? Is he not going to deal with Blackwater's members? "
"I'm guessing that Hei Yan doesn't care about dealing with Blackwater's members. I've seen the battle at the Primordial Divine Ruin. Hei Yan tanked a Mythic monster all by himself and slaughtered Blackwater's and Evil Beast's armies. I doubt even a 1,000-man elite team is worth his time."
"He's too strong! He's just one person, yet he's able to overwhelm the various large Guilds' members. It's no wonder why everyone acknowledges Hei Yan as Starmoon Kingdom's number one expert. He's much stronger than those peak experts. "
…
The nearby adventurer team's members were shocked when they saw the various large Guilds' members. They had never thought that a single person could be so powerful.
They had heard plenty of rumors about Hei Yan in the past, but they had thought those rumors to be nothing more than a joke.
However, now that they saw the man with their own eyes, they realized that the rumors were true. In fact, the man was even more frightening.
Many independent players, who had not been particularly interested in joining Guilds, began to consider joining the Ling YI Society. This was especially true for players who wished to improve their Swordsman classes.
What the Shifeng himself did not know was that his unintentional action had made many independent players in the Orc Empire even more eager to join the Ling Yi Society.
At the same time, the commotion caused by the Shifeng's appearance had also prompted the various Dark Players to take action.
"Commander, we've discovered Hei Yan."
"Where?"
"He's near the Orc Empire's border. However, he's accompanied by quite a few NPCs. He won't be easy to deal with."
"Follow him for now. I'll gather the necessary manpower. As long as our Wind's Arrow adventurer team can kill Hei Yan once, we'll be able to join Dark Soul. Don't let this opportunity slip by. Follow him closely."
"Understood!"
With the appearance of the Shifeng, the various dark adventurer teams operating in the Ore Empire began to take action.
Not long ago, the Dark Night Empire's Dark Soul had placed a bounty on the Ling YI Society. Anyone who could kill one of the Ling YI Society's upper echelons would receive a Dark Mutation slot. Anyone who could kill the Ling YI Society's President, regardless of whether they were an adventurer team or an individual, could join Dark Soul and become the leader of the new adventurer team established by Hei Yan.
Dark Soul's reputation was similar to how ordinary players worshipped super-first-rate Guilds and Super Guilds. Becoming the commander of an adventurer team was equivalent to becoming a Vice Guild Leader in a Guild. Why wouldn't players be tempted by such an offer?
Hence, the various Dark Adventurer Teams and Dark Guilds had taken action to locate Hei Yan.
Hei Yan might be very powerful, but even ants could bite an elephant to death with enough numbers. Not to mention, God's Domain had many special methods that could kill a player once. Strength was not the only thing that could be used to kill a player.
The Lightning-horned Earth Dragon dashed across the gravel road.
As the team ventured deeper into the Ore Empire, the monsters and Orcs blocking their path grew stronger. Initially, they only encountered Chieftains, Lords, and finally, High Lords.
If not for the Lightning-horned Earth Dragon being a Level 80 Great Lord, the team would've long since been stopped.
Sure enough, it's difficult to establish a trade route in the dark forces' territories. Shifeng inwardly celebrated as he watched the Lord ranked Orcs being sent flying.
Fortunately, he was the first player to establish a trade route in the Starmoon Kingdom. Hence, he had the authority to use the Lightning-horned Earth Dragon. Normally, players who established trade routes would use Mysterious-Iron Transport Vehicles and Lord ranked Mounts to pave the way. Hence, players would have to rely on NPCs to pave the way for them. Otherwise, they would have to rely on a large number of Guild members to pave the way for them.
Now that Shi Feng had the Lightning-horned Earth Dragon, he had a much easier time. Only, his progress was much slower. He was only slightly faster than running players.
Meanwhile, the dark forces' neutral maps were only the beginning. As Shifeng ventured deeper into the Ore Empire, the monsters and Orcs he encountered became increasingly powerful. Even with Tier 3 NPCs accompanying him, dealing with these monsters was becoming increasingly difficult.
After eight hours of travel, Shifeng arrived before an Orc Fortress. This Orc Fortress was also the last stop on the trade route to construct a magic array.
"This quest … Does it really require me to construct a magic array inside the fortress?" Shifeng wondered if he had misread the map when he saw the armored Orc army atop the fortress's walls.
The Orcs blocking his path were on a completely different level than the ones he had encountered before.
Previously, the Orc Empire's army had only consisted of Wild Beasts and patrolling Orcs. Now, however, the Orc Empire's army was well-trained. Only, due to the quest, the Orc Empire's army only numbered around 3,000. However, these Orc Empire's army had significantly increased in levels. Now, the weakest among them was a Chieftain, while the majority were Lords. Their levels were no lower than the NPCs accompanying him. Moreover, the Orc Empire's army was led by a Level 80 Mythic ranked Orc General …
As the Orc General raised its greatsword and bellowed, the army of 3,000 Orcs marched out of the fortress's gates and advanced towards Shifeng's group. Sturdy, shield-wielding Orcs walked at the forefront of the army, while bow-wielding Orcs walked at the rear. This situation made the accompanying NPCs nervous.
There were over a hundred Great Lord ranked Orcs and over a dozen Grand Lords. There was even a Mythic ranked Orc General leading the Orc Empire's army. The two sides were on completely different levels.
As Shifeng tried to figure out what was going on, the sound of a system notification reached his ears.
System: You have triggered the Epic Trade Route Quest "Beast King's Ambition." You may choose to accept or reject the quest. Quest reward: You will receive the Starmoon Kingdom's commendation and obtain the qualifications to construct an airport. If you reject this quest, the coordinates of the airport will change. It will not affect your original trade route quest. You have three minutes to consider.
An Epic Trade Route Quest? Shifeng was stunned when he saw the system notification. However, when he saw the quest reward, he could not help his excitement. Could it be the reward for being the first to establish a trade route?
The qualifications to construct an airport!
Countless Guilds sought to establish an airport in neutral maps. However, very few Guilds were capable of doing so. In fact, not a single Guild had revealed how they had obtained the qualifications to construct an airport.
This sensational scene stupefied the various dark adventurer teams and Dark Guilds following Shifeng.
"Crap! What's going on? Is Hei Yan trying to attack a fortress? "
"He's trying to capture a fortress by himself? Has he lost his mind?"
"Hei Yan is too arrogant! That's an Orc Fortress we're talking about. Although he can hold off Mythic monsters for a short time, he can't possibly do it by leading a group of NPCs. "
Everyone was flabbergasted as they watched Shifeng's group and the Orc army approach each other.
They had seen many large Guilds capture fortresses in the Orc Empire, but this was the first time they had seen a single player do it …
"Commander, what should we do? Should we attack Hei Yan now? "
"These Orcs are too high-level. Moreover, there are Mythic Orcs among them. If we accidentally get dragged into this battle, we'll lose more than we can gain. Let's observe the situation first. It's best if we attack when the Orc army crushes Hei Yan."
Seeing that the Orc army had already reached Shifeng's group, the various dark adventurer teams and Dark Guilds decided to wait and see.
As the Orc army approached, the NPCs accompanying Shifeng's group also prepared for battle.
"We have no choice but to give it a try." Shifeng analyzed his combat power and feasibility as he looked at the quest reward. After all, he only needed to construct a magic array, not capture a fortress. There was a qualitative difference between the two tasks. The difficulty of capturing a fortress would also be significantly lower. Moreover, it would be a waste to let such a great opportunity slip by.
Following which, Shifeng gritted his teeth and clicked "Accept". He then retrieved a crimson Magic Scroll engraved with divine runes from his bag.
This Magic Scroll was none other than the Tier 4 Continuous-use Magic Scroll, Vulcan's Sigh, that he had obtained from the Magic Crystal Treasure Chest. It was even more valuable than ordinary Epic Equipment.
Moreover, it was a super-rare Summoning Scroll.
Originally, he had intended to keep it as a trump card for a Guild war. However, to complete this Epic Trade Route Quest, it was worth it.
Following which, Shifeng channeled the Mana of 1,000 Magic Crystals into the Magic Scroll.
Immediately, a crimson, threefold magic array formed beneath Shifeng's feet. At the same time, the sky began to change, and the ground began to tremble.
"Why is the sky so dark?"
