"Dead?" The valiant man was surprised. "Even with his cautious personality and extraordinary tracking skills, he still died?"
Blind Black was one of Demon City's relatively famous Assassins. His perception was even more outstanding. Most of the time, large adventurer teams like Demon City would hire Blind Black to track down players they needed to deal with. Wind Wolf was one of those players.
Up until now, he had never heard of Black Blindman having any problems tracking people.
"Mhm. According to his team members, a party of six was annihilated. They didn't even have a chance to retaliate. Blind Black was so angry about this that he contacted his friends offline and notified everyone in the city. He wants everyone in Demon City to hunt down those intruders," the Tier 3 Assassin said, nodding. "However, that was over ten minutes ago. We still haven't received any information on those intruders' whereabouts."
"Those intruders definitely have the strength to kill a Demon patrol team. Blind Black's death isn't unjustified. However, we need to act quickly. Now that Blind Black has spread the news, many people in the city will most likely take action," the valiant man said, frowning.
If Blind Black had only notified the several large adventurer teams, it wouldn't have been a big deal. After all, compared to Demon City's entire population, their adventurer teams weren't worth mentioning. It would be difficult for them to locate the intruders in the vast Burning Forest.
However, if everyone in the city found out about the intruders, they would have to compete with each other.
Demon's Heart's bounty was extremely high this time, offering 10 Demon Crystals for each person killed.
Although Demon Crystals dropped from Demon territory's Demonic Creatures, the drop-rate was extremely low. Only powerful monsters had a higher drop-rate. Even if Demon City's large adventurer teams grinded for an entire day, they wouldn't be able to obtain 10 or 20 Demon Crystals.
If players could obtain 20 Demon Crystals, they could apply for a noble title challenge in the city. If they succeeded, their strength would increase by a large margin, and they'd become a noble in Demon City. The difference between their status and that of ordinary citizens was massive.
Moreover, ranked experts like themselves needed Demon Crystals if they wanted to improve themselves further. Moreover, they needed even more Demon Crystals.
Now that he could earn ten Demon Crystals for every player he killed, there was no player in Demon City who wouldn't be tempted.
"Leader, rest assured. Since we already know that they've come to the Burning Forest, it won't be difficult to find them. Previously, when I was grinding, I discovered a Secret-Silver Treasure Chest. Inside, I obtained a bottle of Exotic Perception Potion. After drinking the potion, one's perception and tracking ability will greatly improve for six hours. Originally, players' auras would automatically disappear after one hour. Now, however, I can sense them even after three to four hours. We just need to head to the coordinates Black Blindman reported. "As for the other players in Demon City, even if they discover those players, with their strength, ordinary teams won't be able to do anything to them. We'll have plenty of time to snatch the bounty." "That's right," Shi Feng said, chuckling.
"Good! We'll set out immediately. So long as we find those players, you'll receive 10% of the bounty as compensation. Also, have our brothers in the city reveal the trump cards we've stashed away. That way, even if they have the strength to annihilate the Demon patrol, they won't be able to turn the tables. Even those peerless monsters from Super Guilds will have no choice but to accept their fate! "the valiant man said.
"Leader, you're overestimating those people. Even Battle Wolves, a Super Guild, was caught off guard by our adventurer team's strength, not to mention a group of nobodies from the Dark Den," the Tier 3 Assassin said disdainfully.
The Dark Den was merely a small Otherworld, and the player population there was pitifully small. Most likely, less than half of an ordinary kingdom's player population existed there. The Dark Den's environment was suitable for leveling up, and it was easy to obtain various Skill and Spell Books.
How could the Dark Den possibly compare to players like themselves, who had been competing madly on the continent of God's Domain since the beginning and had established Demon City outside of the Ten Saints Empire?
"Of course, I know that. However, each person is worth ten Demon Crystals. If some of them escape, I'm afraid that Demon's Heart won't be so generous in the future," the valiant man said.
From the very beginning, he hadn't paid much attention to the invaders. After all, even Battle Wolves had suffered heavy losses in the Burning Forest. What could several hundred invaders possibly do?
The only thing he truly cared about was the Demon Crystals.
"I understand. I'll notify our brothers in the city right away," the Tier 3 Assassin said. He then contacted the adventurer team members resting in Demon City.
Meanwhile, a commotion had broken out in Demon City.
"Our chance to make a fortune has arrived! Ten Demon Crystals per person! Nobody can compete with our adventurer team!"
"Those players have already appeared in the Burning Forest's outer area? Contact the people nearby immediately. We must find them before the other teams find them! "
"Invader crusade team, form! Those who want to grind Demon Crystals, hurry! "
…
Due to Black Blindman's orders, Demon City's players went into a frenzy, their eyes bloodshot. They all wanted to rush to the Burning Forest and make a killing.
For a time, the hundreds of teams inside Demon City, over a hundred thousand Demon players, charged toward the Burning Forest as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
Meanwhile, when the man resting in one of Demon City's high-class bars received the news, his expression darkened.
He hadn't thought that the Shifeng's group would actually show up.
"Commander Troubled, you don't need to worry. This matter has already spread like wildfire. Not only have the various large adventurer teams mobilized, but even the medium-sized adventurer teams have taken action. Every one of these adventurer teams is an expert. Even the Ten Saints Empire's Super Guilds won't be able to do anything against them," a robust man in silver armor said, chuckling as he looked at Troubled Times, who wore an ugly expression.
"That's right. Even if Ling Yi manages to avoid those players and make it to Demon City, don't forget that Demon's Heart is still here. With us around, Ling Yi's trip will be for naught. She might not even make it back alive," the middle-aged man named Furious Heart said, chuckling. He felt that Troubled Times was overthinking things.
"That being said, Hei Yan's strength shouldn't be underestimated," Troubled Times said. "Of course, if Elder Heart and the others take action, Hei Yan won't be able to do anything to us while we're in Demon's territory."
Troubled Times had personally witnessed the strength of Demon's Heart's Elders. Every one of them was a bona fide monster. Furious Heart, in particular, was only half a step away from becoming a Count in Demon City. He was many times stronger than Troubled Times, who had only recently become a Viscount.
Moreover, Demon City's Demon players that were Viscounts or higher would receive a boost from Demon's Power, further improving their overall strength.
While Demon City's players discussed the Shifeng's group of invaders, Windtooth's several thousand members finally arrived at the Burning Forest's outer area.
"Commander, there are traces of a battle here. They should be nearby," the masked Tier 3 Assassin reported excitedly when he sensed the lingering aura around him.
"Good! Everyone, follow the plan! "
Following which, Regretful Wind commanded his team to prepare for battle.
For a time, Windtooth's several thousand members stealthily approached the Burning Forest, all of them suppressing their auras to avoid detection.
As the team continued to advance, they discovered Demon corpses littering the forest. Moreover, the Wind Tooth adventurer team's members couldn't help but shudder when they saw the corpses. The number of Demon corpses was still increasing.
One hundred … Two hundred … Three hundred …
By the time Windtooth's members had advanced over 3,000 yards, they had seen over 1,000 Demon patrol corpses. Among the corpses closest to them, over 200 Demon patrol corpses lay on the ground …
