Only after the Shifeng's group had disappeared from Melody's and the others' sights, did the team members breathe a sigh of relief.
Too strong!
This kind of valiant and shocking pressure made them unable to breathe. For a moment, they thought they were going to die.
"So, this is Rain's Guild?"
"How can there be such a powerful expert?"
Fear and surprise flashed in everyone's eyes as they watched Thoughtful Rain and Blue Bamboo continue to fight the Flame Demon Guards. They had never thought that the Ling YI Society would be so powerful.
Before the Shifeng, the Race Talent they were so proud of was nothing more than a joke.
Even Thoughtful Rain and Blue Bamboo, who thought they had a deep understanding of the Ling YI Society, gaped in shock when they saw this scene.
Not only had a single attack alleviated the pressure on them, but it had also intimidated all of Ninth Heaven's experts.
Among Ninth Heaven's experts, quite a few were stronger than them. This was especially true for Melody. Not only did she wear three pieces of Epic Equipment, but her combat standards were also on a whole other level. Yet, she hadn't even reacted to Shi Feng's attack …
Melody could not help but smile bitterly as she looked at the sword mark on the ground.
She had intended to threaten the Ling YI Society and question Ling Yi's motives for entering the Flame Demon's Valley. After all, both sides had the same number of people. She hadn't thought that she would lose. At worst, she would fight to the death. Nobody would benefit from that.
"Guild Leader, what should we do? Are we just going to give up? "the tall, robust Tier 2 Tigerkin Berserker asked Melody.
Previously, he had been confident that he could put up a fight, but after seeing Shifeng's attack, he understood that he couldn't afford to clash with the Shifeng. Otherwise, only death would await him.
This wasn't just due to the difference in Basic Attributes, but also due to the difference in combat standards.
"Why should we give up? We went to great lengths to find this quest. The Flame Demon's Valley is so big. Even if we enter, do you think they can cover the entire place?" She had no intention of giving up. Moreover, she refused to believe that Shifeng's team would discover them once they entered the Flame Demon's Valley.
"Forget it, let's just wait here." Melody shook her head. "Besides, I don't think the Ling YI Society is here for that quest. They must be here for something else. Otherwise, with the power of the Ling YI Society, they wouldn't need to waste time talking to us. They could just get rid of us and enter the Flame Demon's Valley."
Hearing their Guild Leader's words, the team members nodded in agreement. Her reasoning made sense.
Compared to having them wait here, it was much easier and faster to kill them. Moreover, it was much safer. After all, they had already witnessed Shi Feng's prowess. They did not think that Shi Feng would need much time to kill them.
If Shi Feng wanted to, he could've killed several of them with a single attack. They would've been helpless against him.
"In addition, large Guilds don't like people following them when they're on large-scale quests. They'll usually seal off the area. If they can't seal off the area, they'll eliminate any potential threats. Now, Hei Yan has warned us not to enter the Flame Demon's Valley. Rather than killing us to prevent future trouble, it's also because of Rain and Blue Bamboo," Melody explained.
Normally, large Guilds would not show mercy when they were on important quests.
The only reason they were still alive was because Thoughtful Rain and Blue Bamboo were members of the Ling YI Society. Otherwise, Melody didn't dare imagine what would've happened to them if they had coincidentally bumped into Ling Yi.
At this moment, the team members could not help but send Thoughtful Rain and Blue Bamboo grateful and apologetic gazes.
They all felt that inviting Thoughtful Rain and Blue Bamboo for this operation was a wise decision. Otherwise, they might've died in the Flame Demon's Valley's entrance. Not only would they have lost a level, but they would've also lost a piece of equipment.
Thoughtful Rain and Blue Bamboo, who hadn't known how to explain that this was a misunderstanding, were at a loss.
A moment ago, everyone had treated them with hostility. In the next moment, however, they had become grateful and amicable. This sudden transformation from hell to heaven left them momentarily dazed.
"Guild Leader, the Ling YI Society is so powerful. Moreover, I've heard that the Ling YI Society's Candlelight Trade is also very advanced. Thoughtful Rain and Blue Bamboo are both core members of the Ling YI Society. If we can use this opportunity to get acquainted with Hei Yan and form a partnership with Ling Yi, our Guild's development in Forest City will be much smoother," the Tigerman Berserker quietly suggested to Melody as he looked at Thoughtful Rain and Blue Bamboo.
"I understand what you're trying to say. I'll ask those two for their opinion, but I must say that if they don't want to or find it difficult, we'll drop the matter," Melody said, nodding as she looked at the Tigerman Berserker in surprise.
Previously, the Tigerman Berserker had held a grudge against Thoughtful Rain and Blue Bamboo. He had thought that they were outsiders and shouldn't have participated in this operation. He had never thought that he would take the initiative to recruit them.
The Tigerman Berserker nodded silently.
Meanwhile, inside the Flame Demon's Valley, Shifeng had no idea that his actions had made Thoughtful Rain and Blue Bamboo Ninth Heaven's VIPs. He simply led the team toward the Flame Demon's Valley's core.
As a danger zone, the Flame Demon's Valley might not have many Flame Demons. However, the harsh environment was extremely uncomfortable.
Even though everyone wore Fire Resistance equipment and drank Master Fire Resistance Potions, they still felt an indescribable heat, preventing them from exerting their full strength.
Although Shifeng had been very careful along the way, Shiuse Qiangwei and the others' levels were somewhat low. As a result, they still attracted some Flame Demons, forcing them to engage in battle. As a result, the team's progress slowed significantly.
However, killing these Flame Demons made everyone feel like they had reaped a bountiful harvest.
Setting aside the equipment they dropped, just the fire-type materials they obtained could be sold for a lot of money. This was especially true for the Flame Crystals that the Flame Demons dropped.
These Flame Crystals could be crafted into Flame Gemstones and embedded into weapons, increasing the weapon's fire-type damage by 10%. Unfortunately, these Flame Gemstones were Consumable items. Unlike other Attribute Gemstones, these Flame Gemstones could only be used permanently.
Even so, they were still very valuable.
After traveling for over four hours, Ling Yi and the others finally arrived at the Flame Demon's Valley's core. Meanwhile, Shifeng notified Thoughtful Rain and Blue Bamboo that they could now enter the Flame Demon's Valley.
To current players, the Flame Demon's Valley's core was a forbidden area. This applied even to Half-beastmen and Half-elves. Without Elven Silver and All-rounded Devices, as well as high Fire Resistance, entering the Flame Demon's Valley's core meant certain death. Hence, Shi Feng did not have to worry about anyone discovering what they were doing in the core.
After Shifeng and the others had traveled for over half an hour, Fire Dance, who was scouting ahead, suddenly reported through the team chat, "Guild Leader, I found something good!"
"Something good?" Shifeng asked curiously when he heard Fire Dance's trembling voice.
After all, the Flame Demon's Valley was a danger zone. There were plenty of good items. There was no need to be so excited.
