In a rainforest outside the core area of the Dark Den, a massive door made entirely of black mist suddenly appeared. The frightening energy radiating from the door caused the surrounding Demonic Beasts to involuntarily back away, all of them nervously staring at the massive door that was five to six meters tall.
As the huge door opened, one figure after another walked out from it.
"What is this place? What a powerful gravity! It's almost on par with the Star Tomb's first floor!" Thunderbeast exclaimed as he stepped into the rainforest.
Aside from the dense Power of Darkness in this rainforest, just the gravity alone was enough to reduce the combat power of Tier 2 players by half. Even Tier 3 players like himself would be affected by this environment.
Previously, the Shifeng had secretly informed them to head to the City Lord's Mansion's second-floor hall, saying that they needed to visit a special location. Naturally, they wouldn't object to their employer's orders. However, they were still shocked by the Shifeng's ability to open a spatial gate in the second-floor hall.
The Spatial Gate was different from the Spatial Gate. Normally, the Spatial Gate could only travel through one world. However, the Spatial Gate was different. It could move across worlds.
Moreover, since the Shifeng had paid such a huge price to hire them, they definitely needed their help for something important. Hence, the place they were heading to was definitely not ordinary. Otherwise, why would the Shifeng be so foolish as to spend so many resources to help all of them unlock their Mana Bodies?
Due to Shi Feng's battle with Mythology, the various superpowers had begun to target the Mana Body. Although nurturing more Tier 3 experts was important, it wasn't as important as the Mana Body. After all, a single expert with a fully unlocked Mana Body could easily annihilate a group of Tier 3 experts without a fully unlocked Mana Body. It went without saying which was more important.
Otherwise, their superiors wouldn't have immediately agreed to the Shifeng's conditions.
"It's not just the gravity here. The Mana here is also denser. It's almost half as dense as the Starlight Fortress's. If we can fight here for a long time, our Mana control will improve significantly," a Tier 3 Elementalist beside Thunderbeast said excitedly.
Although the Starlight Fortress's Mana was much denser than the Dark Den's, it was impossible to fight in the fortress. In God's Domain, however, if players wished to improve their Mana quickly, they had to engage in life-and-death battles.
With such dense Mana, they'd have a much easier time controlling their Mana. This would be a great help to them in combat.
At this point, the Infernal Legion members' eyes glowed with excitement.
The rainforest's monsters were all Level 100-plus, which was perfect for them to grind and improve their Mana control at the same time. This was something they could only dream of.
Hellscream and the others immediately understood why the Shifeng was so confident that they could unlock their Mana Bodies within a month.
In such an environment, they indeed had a high chance of fully unlocking their Mana Bodies within a month.
Shiuse Qiangwei, who had entered the Dark Gate with the Shifeng, was similarly surprised.
He hadn't expected the Shifeng to have hidden such an excellent training ground. The monsters here might not be very high-leveled, with the majority being Level 100-plus Chieftains and the strongest being Great Lords, but this environment was definitely the best for Tier 3 experts.
"Guild Leader, you're being too biased. You actually kept such a good training ground. If Ling Yi's members could grind here after reaching Level 100, the number of experts in Ling Yi would've likely doubled by now," Shiuse Qiangwei complained as he looked at the Shifeng.
Upon hearing Shiuse Qiangwei's complaint, the Shifeng, who had just entered the rainforest, was momentarily dumbfounded. He was at a loss for words.
This was because the Dark Den's central area he knew wasn't like this at all!
The last time he had teleported here, he had been very close to the World Summit. Now, however, he couldn't even see the World Summit's shadow. Moreover, he was surrounded by Demonic Beasts. The environment here was also considerably better. In addition, he felt as if this world had imperceptibly suppressed him, preventing him from exerting his full strength.
Could this Dark Den's teleportation gate change according to my tier or level?
After giving the matter some thought, the Shifeng concluded that this was highly possible. After all, there had been some changes between the first and second time he had used the Dark Gate. Only, the changes hadn't been as pronounced as this time. Even the World Summit had disappeared. They had arrived in a completely unfamiliar place. Only, this place was still considered the Dark Den's central area.
However, Shifeng quickly shook his head and stopped thinking about this matter.
He had only brought his team here to travel to the eastern continent. As for the environment here, it wasn't particularly important. In any case, they would soon leave the Dark Den.
Unlike the Bible of Darkness's Gate of Darkness, Moloch's Ring's Gate of Darkness was a two-way teleportation gate.
In other words, once the Gate of Darkness was activated, so long as one of his companions was active, they could travel back and forth between the two places connected by the Gate of Darkness.
Hence, the next step was simple.
As long as he used White River City's Return Scroll in the Dark Den, he could return to White River City immediately. Afterward, he would activate the Gate of Darkness in White River City and allow Hellscream and the others, who had not purchased White River City's Return Scrolls, to travel to White River City from the Dark Den.
If this method didn't work, he would use the Bible of Darkness. Although the Bible of Darkness had a limit of 30 people, he could still bring the Dark Den's members to the eastern continent once he returned to the eastern continent. Although it would be slightly more troublesome, at the very least, it was much easier than using an ancient teleportation array.
However, Moloch's Ring had just been used, so it still had one day's Cooldown. With nothing better to do, Shifeng had the Infernal Legion members clear out the surrounding Demonic Beasts to level up.
Although they wouldn't be here for long, at the end of the day, the Dark Den was a place created by the Gods. Even without the World Summit, the opportunities and treasures inside were incomparable to those in the outside world. They might even find some good harvests. At the very least, they wouldn't have wasted their time activating the Gate of Darkness.
"Guild Leader, there's a town protected by a magic array in front of the rainforest. By the looks of it, there are quite a few players there," Fire Dance, who was patrolling the area, suddenly reported through the team chat.
"A town protected by a magic array?" Shifeng's interest was piqued when he heard Fire Dance's report. "A Shelter in the Dark Den?"
Based on his understanding, aside from Shelters, there were no other towns or cities in the Dark Den. However, Shelters were different from towns and cities in the outside world. Every Shelter had its own unique functions and could produce all sorts of specialty products. The higher the rank of a Shelter, the better the specialty products it produced.
The fact that the Shelter before him had been constructed in a Level 100 map meant that it was of a considerably high rank.
Moreover, aside from specialty products, the Dark Den also produced all sorts of gemstones, all of which were extremely rare on the continent of God's Domain. Only, as Shi Feng had been too busy, he had left the management of the Dark Den's Ling Yi Branch Guild to Blue Frost and the others. As Blue Frost and the others couldn't contact the outside world while they were in the Dark Den, the only thing they could do was report the Branch Guild's situation via video call. Hence, Shi Feng found out that Ling Yi's Branch Guild was developing quite well in the Dark Den.
If not for the restrictions placed on the Dark Den's Otherworld, Ling Yi's Branch Guild would've been able to recruit plenty of experts to Ling Yi's Branch Guild.
"Guild Leader, should we head over?" Fire Dance asked.
"Let's go. Of course, we're going to take a look." Shifeng nodded. "This is a good opportunity to make a fortune."
Previously, he had been too busy. In addition, the Bible of Darkness was an extraordinary item that could suppress Moloch's Ring. Hence, he hadn't dared to let the Bible of Darkness leave his side. As a result, Zero Wing hadn't interacted with the Dark Den for a long time.
Now that he had earned a lot of Magic Crystals and Coins from the Starlight Fortress, he had accumulated over 600,000 Magic Crystals and over 200,000 Gold Coins. He could use this opportunity to purchase as many gemstones as he could. Once he returned to the eastern continent, he could make another fortune. Moreover, Attribute Gemstones were far more valuable than Magic Crystals. They were also far more useful to players.
Following which, Shifeng led Shiuse Qiangwei and the others to the Shelter.
As for Infernal Legion's members, they weren't interested in this town at all. They only wanted to grind and grow stronger. They had already learned from Shifeng that they wouldn't be staying here for long and would be leaving soon. Hence, they needed to seize this opportunity to grow stronger. After all, a treasure trove like this was simply too rare. Otherwise, the western continent's various superpowers wouldn't have fought over a location with abundant Mana.
The Shelter outside the rainforest was located at the foot of a mountain range. It was surrounded by mountains on three sides, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. For a Shelter that was constantly attacked by Demonic Beasts, it was definitely a treasure trove.
By the time he was several hundred yards away from the Shelter, he had a clear view of the Shelter's interior.
Although the Shelter wasn't particularly large, only the size of an Advanced Town in the outside world, the magic array protecting it was extremely advanced. Even Tier 4 monsters could attack the Shelter for a long time. In this Level 100-plus map, the Shelter was definitely one of the safest.
Because of this, there were a lot of players living in the Shelter. There were over 200,000 players living in the Shelter.
Although this might not be a big deal in the outside world, to the Dark Den, which only had a small player population, this was a frightening number.
Moreover, the Shelter's players were considerably strong. The lowest-leveled among them was Level 104, while the higher-leveled ones had reached Level 106 and 107. They were no weaker than the various superpowers' peak experts in the outside world. Every player in the Shelter also had relatively good weapons and equipment, with the weakest piece being Level 100 Mysterious-Iron Equipment. There were also plenty of players geared in Level 100 Secret-Silver Equipment. There were even some experts with Fine-Gold Weapons and Equipment. Only, these players' weapons and equipment stopped at Level 100. Very few of them had Level 105 equipment. Even Level 105 Mysterious-Iron Equipment was extremely rare.
As they approached the Shelter's entrance, a Level 106, Tier 3 female Swordsman approached them. She was a beautiful and capable Level 106 female Swordsman.
"You must be Vice Guild Leader Blue Frost's teammates, right? I've been waiting for you for a long time! " The female Swordsman asked excitedly as she looked at Shifeng's group. "May I know when Vice Guild Leader Blue Frost will arrive?"
"Blue Frost?" Shifeng was confused by the female Swordsman's question.
This female Swordsman was considerably strong. Not only was she a Flowing Water Realm expert, but she was also only half a step away from reaching the Void Realm. Even in a superpower, she would be a mainstay.
"What's wrong? Aren't you Vice Guild Leader Blue Frost's companions?" the female Swordsman asked curiously when she saw Shifeng's confused expression and the six-winged emblem he wore.
Tier 3 players were incredibly rare at this stage of the game, and Tier 3 players wearing Ling Yi's emblem were even rarer. In her opinion, Shifeng's group should be Vice Guild Leader Blue Frost's companions.
"We are indeed companions, but it's not what you think," Shifeng explained.
"Vice Guild Leader Blue Frost and the others still can't make it?" The female Swordsman's expression turned slightly disappointed when she heard Shi Feng's reply.
However, as soon as the female Swordsman finished speaking, a crisp, pleasant voice reached her ears from a distance.
"Graceful, I've already told you that instead of inviting Ling Yi's group, you should've invited Crimson Emperor's Vice Guild Leader Illusory, but you refused to believe me! Now, you're doomed! "
