After devouring the Mysterious Flames, the Fire Spirit's body glowed with a dazzling white light. Even the air around it became illusory.
"A Tier 3 Archaic Species?" Shifeng grew excited when he saw the Fire Spirit's Attributes.
He hadn't expected the Fire Spirit to evolve into a Tier 3 Archaic Species with only 20 or so Tier 1 Mysterious Flames. After all, many powers in the past had fed their Fire Spirits a large number of Tier 1 Mysterious Flames. Many had even fed them Tier 2 Mysterious Flames. Only then had they managed to nurture the Fire Spirit into a Tier 3 Archaic Species.
He had thought that the Fire Spirit would be fortunate enough to evolve into a Tier 3 Archaic Species. If he wanted to evolve the Fire Spirit into an Archaic Species, he'd have to feed it Tier 2 Mysterious Flames. He hadn't expected the Fire Spirit to absorb so many Tier 1 Mysterious Flames.
With the Fire Spirit's Attributes, high intellect, and high combat power, it was even stronger than a Grand Lord of the same level. However, in a real fight, Grand Lords had far more HP. In the end, he'd be able to whittle down the Fire Spirit.
However, Shifeng was more than satisfied with the Fire Spirit's combat power.
Although he could summon Kite and Anna while he was questing, and both of them were as strong as a Great Lord of the same level. Anna, in particular, was even stronger. However, reviving Personal Guards was very troublesome. They'd need a long time to recover after dying once. He couldn't risk them casually.
However, it was a different story for the Fire Spirit. If it died, so be it. At most, it would cost some Magic Crystals to summon it. Take the Fire Spirit, a Tier 3 Archaic Species, for example. It only cost 300 Magic Crystals per summon. Moreover, the Fire Spirit's Cooldown was much shorter than the Bible of Darkness's. It only needed half an hour to summon it. Only, unlike the Bible of Darkness, which could summon multiple Demons.
After dealing with the Fire Spirit, Shifeng prepared some Magic Crystals. He then activated Candlelight and made his way to Star-Moon City, the trigger location for the quest.
Although there weren't many super-large-scale neutral cities in God's Domain, every empire and dozen or so kingdoms had one. These cities were trade hubs between these empires and neutral races. Take the Fairy Country's Forest City, for example. However, Forest City wasn't a super-large-scale neutral city. It was only a large-scale neutral city.
As for super-large-scale neutral cities like the Sea of Trees, players would need to complete the quest to reach them. Only, the Sea of Trees was located in a secret land and didn't belong to any race.
The super large neutral city that the Shifeng wanted to open was Thunder Axe City, which belonged to the Giant race. It was also the nearest super large neutral city in the Starmoon Kingdom.
The Giants didn't look any different from the Humans, but their bodies were much larger. Generally, they were more than four meters tall. Unlike the Humans, their physique was very strong. Even the Beastmen couldn't compare to them. They were naturally good at fighting, and they were a war race that could resonate with the earth.
It could be said that apart from the Titan Race, the Giant Race had the strongest defense among the many neutral races.
The various major powers welcomed the Giant race's Shield Warriors and Guardian Knights. In fact, the various superpowers had even converted their members into Giants. After all, neutral races could also join human Guilds. Only, they were limited in the number of human cities they could enter. However, how could such a small problem compare to the importance of an MT?
The Giants' advantages were obvious, but so were their weaknesses. They weren't good at magic, and their mobility wasn't as good as that of Humans. They'd have a headache if they ran into monsters and players that specialized in speed.
Due to these obvious weaknesses, very few players were willing to convert into Giants. They were far inferior to the Half-elves and Half-orcs.
As a super-large-scale neutral city, each city had its own unique characteristics. Among them, Thunder Axe City was located in the Icefire Mountain Range, a neutral map, and it had the most mineral resources in God's Domain. At the same time, the Giant race was an expert in forging, a technique passed down through the Titan race. Their forging standards were even higher than those of the Dwarves.
This was also one of the reasons why Shifeng had wanted to establish Thunder Axe City.
Although the Ling YI Society had many advantages, it was still at a disadvantage in the Ore Empire. Moreover, this disadvantage continued to grow. After all, the Ore Empire's foundation and experts were simply too weak. Purely speaking, Ling Yi's defense was more than adequate, but its offense was lacking.
First, it lacked a large number of resources.
Second, it lacked expert players.
Although Ling Yi currently had more resources and experts than first-rate Guilds, it was nothing compared to the various superpowers. After all, Ling Yi's territory was far smaller than the various superpowers'.
Starmoon Kingdom, Star-Moon City:
Shifeng arrived at Star-Moon City's Adventurer's Association's headquarters. Star-Moon City's development was much slower than White River City's. Most of the players that visited the Adventurer's Association were Level 55 or 56 elite players. Very few experts had reached Level 58 or above.
Without hesitation, Shifeng approached the reception on the second floor.
"Lord Spirit Slayer, how may I help you?" the beautiful NPC at the front desk asked with a smile.
"I wish to accept an Exploration Quest," Shifeng said.
"Very well." The NPC beauty then pulled out a large list of Exploration Quests and showed them to Shifeng. "Lord Spirit Slayer, these are all the Exploration Quests you can accept at this time."
Shifeng nodded and began to browse through the list.
The Adventurer's Association offered many quests. Among them, Crusade Quests and Exploration Quests were the most difficult. As long as players reached Level 70 and reached 3-star status in the Adventurer's Association, they could accept the Exploration Quest for Thunder Axe City.
Although the Exploration Quest was only available for 3-star players, it was much more difficult than ordinary Epic Quests.
In the past, players had only entered Thunder Axe City after Shi Feng had reached Level 75. Back then, peak experts had already reached Level 77 and above, and they had only been equipped with Level 75 top-tier weapons and equipment. One could just imagine how difficult the Exploration Quest was.
"I'll accept this quest," Shifeng said, pointing to the Giant's Secret Land on the list.
"Alright, I'll record it for you. However, please pay a 1,000-Gold deposit. If you give up on this quest, we will not refund the deposit," the NPC beauty said.
The Tier 2 experts who had accepted the Exploration Quest were astonished by the NPC beauty's words.
"Crap! What kind of quest is this?! A 1,000-Gold deposit?! "
"What?! The highest deposit I've ever received for a 2-star Exploration Quest was only 3 Gold."
…
The Tier 2 experts present couldn't help but stare at the cloaked Swordsman in surprise. They were even more surprised by the quest he had accepted.
Normally, the Adventurer's Association only charged 3% to 5% of the quest reward as a deposit to prevent players from accepting a quest without knowing their limits. However, Shifeng's quest required a 1,000-Gold deposit. In other words, he would have to pay at least 20,000 Gold to complete this quest …
